Bowler Department of History Duke University Date:___________________ Approved: ______________________________ William Reddy, Supervisor ______________________________ Malachi Hacohen ______________________________ Akram Khater ______________________________ Donald Reid ______________________________ Alex Roland An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright 2011 by K.A. Bowler Abstract This dissertation revises influential scholarship on nineteenth-century French colonial policy in Algeria. After French troops conquered Algeria in 1830, French civilian and military administrations competed for control. There were two major points of conflict between the civilian and military administrative branches: the extent to which the French should adopt or tolerate pre-existing political and social norms; and, most important, the process by which Europeans acquired and settled the land belonging to the indigenous population. In general, the military, especially the Arab Bureau, advocated a tolerance for and acceptance of local legal and social customs and supported a slow process of European colonization.

  • Battle of Cape Matapan HMS AJAX and the Battle of Cape Matapan
    Battle of Cape Matapan HMS AJAX and the Battle of Cape Matapan: 28th – 29th March 1941 By Clive Sharplin (Associate Member) The sea fight of the Second World War known as the “Battle of Matapan” was actually the second of that name to occur in naval history. The first occurred on 19th July 1717 when a mixed force of fifty-seven ships and galleys, Spanish, Portuguese, Venetian and Papal were attacked off Cape Matapan by a Turkish squadron of about the same size. After a fierce fight with losses on both sides the Turks withdrew. The ship HMS Ajax was a Leander Class light cruiser, the seventh ship to bear the name, relatively young having been launched in 1934, first commissioned in 1935. Displacing 9,563tons fully laden, her main armament consisted of 8 x 6”guns mounted in pairs over four turrets with 8 x 21 “ torpedo tubes in two quadruple mountings, steam turbine driven, with a wartime crew of 680. After participating in the first major sea battle of the second World War, the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939 and defeating the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee she returned to Chatham Dockyard for a 7 month long repair and refit during which my Father, Bob, joined her on 10th February 1940 as a Petty Officer Mechanician, he was to be a crew member for more` than a year until September 1941 when he was drafted to the battleship Valiant, thus enduring one of the Royal Navy’s most hostile periods. Ajax emerged back into the fleet on September 30th 1940 being deployed to the 7th Cruiser Squadron in the Mediterranean.

  • Civil War Records: Town of Oyster Bay
    Civil War Records: Town of Oyster Bay Private Jeremiah K. Davis of Locust Valley, one of 124 men from the Town of Oyster Bay who enlisted into the Harris Light Cavalry. See inside for a profile of the Harris Light Cavalry. ¡ ¢ £ © ¡ § £ ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ A Message from Town Clerk STEVEN L. LABRIOLA Dear Genealogy Enthusiast, The American Civil War (1861-65) was a defining event in our country’s history. The entire future of the United States rested on its outcome. Its impact was felt in every community in every state, including the Town of Oyster Bay. Town Supervisor George S. Downing’s son, Daniel, was killed at Aldie, Virginia. It was the first time in our nation’s history that conscription, or draft, of men into the military was employed. Of the Town’s total population of around 8,000, 600 men saw active duty. This guide is an important tool for genealogists searching for male ancestors who lived in Oyster Bay during the Civil War. It contains both the 1862 and 1864 enrollment lists. The enrollment includes the name, age and occupation of all men between the ages of 18 and 45. The 1862 enrollment has a “remarks” section that includes information about enlistment, unit or exemption, while the 1864 enrollment has a “notes” section that includes status, such as prior military service, exemption or “Alien.” The guide also contains a list compiled in 1865 after the war listing the names of those who served, along with their date and place of birth, date enlisted, rank, place of enlistment, bonus received, occupation, names of parents, date and place of discharge, and, in some instances, information regarding such things as imprisonment, cause of death, promotions, etc.
