    THE MILITARY HOSPITALS AT BETHLEHEM AND LIT1TZ DURING THE REVOLUTION. BY JOHN W. JORDAN. Reprinted from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, July, 1896. PHILADELPHIA. 1896. THE MILITARY HOSPITALS AT BETHLEHEM AND LITITZ DURING THE REVOLUTION. BY JOHN W. JORDAN. Reprinted from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, July, 1896. PHILADELPHIA. 1896. THE MILITARY HOSPITALS AT BETHLEHEM AND LITITZ DURING THE REVOLUTION. For six years, from 1775 to 1781, Bethlehem was a thor- oughfare for troops; twice in that interval it was the seat of a general hospital, and, in addition to the heavy baggage and munitions of war of the army and Washington’s pri- vate baggage being parked in its suburbs, with its guard of two hundred Continentals commanded by Colonel Wil- liam Polk, of North Carolina, many of its houses were oc- cupied by American troops and British prisoners of war, and Congress found a temporary refuge there. The inhabit- ants, therefore, witnessed not only the horrors and expe- rienced the discomforts of war, but also its “ pomp and cir- cumstance,” for at times there were sojourning among them Generals Washington, Lafayette, Greene, Knox, Sterling, Schuyler, Gates, Sullivan, De Kalb, Steuben, Pulaski, and Arnold, with members of their staff, and General Charles Lee’s division of the army, in command of General Sulli- van, was encamped opposite the town. 4 Hospitals at Bethlehem and Lititz during the Revolution. The population of Bethlehem averaged about five hundred souls, mainly domiciled in that pile of solidly built and commodious structures, buttressed and hip-roofed, which bound three sides of the quadrangle on Church Street, in the “ Widows’ House” over the way, and in the building of the single brethren, which fronted on the square.

  • Revolutionary Leaders of North Carolina
    North Carolina State Normal & Industrial College Historical Publications Number 2 REVOLUTIONARY LEADERS OF NORTH CAROLINA BY R. D. W. CONNOR SECRETARY NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION Lecturer on North Carolina History, State Normal College Issued under the Direction of the Department of History W. C. JACKSON, EDITOR PUBLISHED BY THE COLLEGE 1916 PRESSES OF THE PETRIE COMPANY HIOH POINT. N. C I NORTH CAROLINA FROM 1765 TO 1790 INTRODUCTORY LECTURE Two periods in the history of the United States seem to me to stand out above all others in dramatic interest and historic importance. One is the decade from 1860 to 1870, the other is the quarter-century from 1765 to 1790. Of the two both in interest and importance precedence must be given to the latter. The former was a period of almost superhuman ef fort, achievement, and sacrifice for the preservation of the life of the nation, but it did not evolve any new social, political, or economic principles. Great prin ciples already thought out and established were saved from annihilation, and given a broader scope than ever before in the history of mankind, but no new idea or ideal was involved in the struggle. The ideas and ideals involved in the struggle of the sixties were those that had already been established during the quarter-century from 1765 to 1790. That epoch was a period of origins. Ideas and ideals of government developed in America then came into conflict with the ideas and ideals of Europe. Colonies founded on these new principles revolted against the old, threw off the yoke of their mother country, organized inde pendent states, and having achieved their independ ence, established a self-governing nation on the fed eral principle on a scale never before attempted in the history of the world.

Not only did it expose the limits of U.S. military power and destroy the consensus over post-World War II foreign policy, but it acted as a catalyst for enormous social, cultural and political upheavals that still resonate in American society today. This guide is intended as a bibliograhical tool for all those seeking an introduction to the vast literature that has been written on this subject. It covers the reasons behind American intervention in Vietnam, the role of Congress, the Executive and the media, the response of the American public, particularly students, to the escalation of the war, and the war’s legacy upon American politics, culture and foreign policy. It also addresses the experiences of those individuals affected directly by the war: Vietnam veterans and the Indochinese refugees.

  • Thomas Burke: Southern Patriot in The
    THOMAS BURKE: SOUTHERN PATRIOT IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION APPROVED:: Major Stressor •p. MXnor ProLf ess<5r/ Di^ctor of the Departmentqt History Dean of the Graduate School Hud- Salter, Bette Jo, Thomas Burke; Southern Patriot In the American Revolution. Master of Arts (History), January 1971, 110 pp., bibliography, 30 titles. Thomas Burke, who emigrated from Ireland in the 176o's, played an active political role during the American Revolution. He was a member of the North Carolina provincial Congress which worked out that state*s transition from colony to statehood, and he served three terms as a delegate to the Continental Congress. He also served one term as Governor of the state of North Carolina. This study is an attempt to determine the extent of Burke*s influence at the state and national level, and the effect of one man*s personality on the revolutionary period in America. The presentation of this material is divided into three major divisions and an epilogue. Chapter I, "Thomas Burke*s Rise to Prominence," provides the background of Burke1s early life, including his move to North Carolina, his professional career, and his first political activities in the North Carolina statehood movement. Chapter II, "Thomas Burke in the Continental Congress," describes the most Important phase of his career. Prom 1777 to 1781 Burke imposed his states rights philosophy on the Continental Congress and prevented the formation of a national government under the Articles of Confederation. Chapter III, "Governor Thomas Burke," discusses the final phase of his career. He became governor of North Carolina in 1781 when the state was under selge by both British and Loyalist forces.

  • GOVERNOR SAMUEL JOHNSTON, 1787-1789, N.D
    Governors’ Papers 1 Samuel Johnston GOVERNOR SAMUEL JOHNSTON, 1787-1789, n.d. Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: November 4, 2010 Samuel Johnston (December 15, 1733-August 17, 1816), Revolutionary War leader, governor, U.S. senator, judge, attorney, and planter, was born in Dundee, Scotland, the son of Samuel and Helen Scrymsoure Johnston. His uncle, Gabriel Johnston, who came to North Carolina in 1734 as royal governor, brought the elder Samuel and family to the colony sometime after March 1735. They resided at Poplar Spring Plantation on the main road between New Bern and Wilmington, in Onslow County, until the death of Samuel’s father in October, 1757. Young Johnston received his formal education at Yale but did not stay long enough to graduate; instead, he moved to Edenton in the fall of 1753 to read law under Thomas Barker. In May 1755 Johnston was appointed clerk of the Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery for the Edenton district, and in November, 1756 he was licensed as an attorney. In 1759 he was elected to the Assembly where he served without interruption until 1775, thus commencing almost fifty years`of public service to his state and to the nation. In the spring of 1765 he bought Hayes Plantation, Edenton, where he and his family lived for about thirty years. In 1770 Johnston purchased the post of deputy naval officer of the colony and served until November, 1775. In the December, 1770 session of the Assembly he sponsored a bill for punishing the Regulators who, he felt were disturbing the peace by rioting against the legal authority of the colony’s government.

Outreach Programs; Resource Allocation; *Small Businesses; *Veterans IDENTIFIERS *Small Business Administration; *Vietnam Veterans ABSTRACT This document is a fianscript of a hearinglconcerning small business opportunities for Vietnam veterans in the Boston area. During the hearing, testimony was given from four panels of Vietnam era veterans who represented across- section of those who servedftheir country in that war. Some of the witnesses also, represented veterans groups or worked in veterans programs or `outreach centers. Minority veterans comprised two of the panels. During the hearing, witnesses testified about the many problems that Vietnam veterans face in attempting to get loans from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to start or purchase a business. The problem is especially acute for minority veterans, according to the testimony, because they have less capital, or they have language barriers and nobody in the SBA to speak their language (primarily Spanish), or they are the victims of prejudice. The veterans who testified cited the need for more outreach programs, more money'for loans, and less red tape in the SBA in order to provide some economic opportunity to Vietnam veterans who thus far have been penalized for their service to fheir country.
