  • WEST POINT FOUNDRY Maker of the Parrott Rifle, Famous Civil War
    WEST POINT FOUNDRY Maker of The Parrott Rifle, Famous Civil War Cannon 1 i i WEST POINT FOUNDRY ! The ~a~ol$onicWars demonstrat&d the importance of artillery in modern warfdre. This was brought home to the American people when in the War Of 1812, they found themselves opposed by heavy artillery in the hand8 of seasoned troops, both of which we lacked. The first graduate of West Point Military Academy, General Joseph Swift determined that it would not happen again. He was able to en- list the financial backing of Gouverneur Kemble, willram Kemble and others. In 1818 they organized the West Point Foundry with kstablishments at Cold Spring and New York City. It was necessary to "bootleg" skilled labor out of Europe by way of Ireland. They were able to evade ship pursuit. Their first government demonstration of heavy cannon firing caused some of the cannon to burst. But they were ablt to prove the fault was not in the cannon but In the faulty ammunitiol So, this Foqndry along with three other foundries were subsidized by the government. Success followed their enterprise until it was said,"there was no other foundry like it in America". Prom 50 to 100 heavy ordnance were made each year with the accompanying ammhition. They branched out. Stoves were just becoming popular. Iron pipe replaced wood for water mains in New York and Boston. Machinery for making sugar in South America and the Southern States was in demand. Engines for steamboats and railroads were made. The famous "DeWitt Clinton" railroad engine was built in 1831.

  • Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations 1768-1921
    Publication Number: M-2014 Publication Title: Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations, 1768-1921 Date Published: 1996 BURIAL REGISTERS FOR MILITARY POSTS, CAMPS, AND STATIONS 1768-1921 Introduction On the single roll of this microfilm publication, M2014, is reproduced a two-volume register of burials at military posts, camps, and stations from 1768 to 1921; however, the bulk of the burials occurred between 1860 and 1890. These registers are part of the Records of the Office of the Quartermaster General, Record Group (RG) 92. This publication was financed by The Malcolm H. Stern-NARA Gift Fund and the National Archives Trust Fund. Background The registers included on this microfilm were created by the Cemetery Branch, established shortly after the Civil War in the Office of the Quartermaster General, Washington, DC. Entries in the two volumes were based on each post's burial records or grave markers. The first volume was created in 1873, updated periodically until 1883, and updated sporadically until 1932. The second was created in 1883 and updated periodically until 1932. Some burials (generally those that occurred before 1883 in cemeteries that were still active in 1883) are listed in both volumes. In the book, Quartermaster Support of the Army: A History of the Corps, 1775-1939 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1962, reprinted 1989), Erna Risch provided the following history of the quartermaster's role in burying deceased military personnel at military posts: Ever since 1775, the [War] Department had assumed certain duties in caring for the dead. In line with its responsibility for construction, repair, and maintenance at Army posts, quartermasters had long administered post burial grounds.

Y.: Sir: Pursuant to the provisions of the law of Congress, " establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," I have the honor to submit the following REPORT: The organized portion of the militia of the State has, during the past year, made marked improvement in discipline and military information. l When compared with its condition during and prior to the year 1857, it is certainly entitled to much praise for its present attitude, and for the evidences of zeal which pervades its ranks. Notwithstanding that the relief which the present defective law affords has always been greatly inadequate to meet the heavy pecuniary demands upon the force, and that the general regulations have recently largely increased these demands, the militia has passed through the trying y'ear of 1858 with honor and credit. To one interested in the development of our militia, and aware of the additional bur~hens in time and money which these regulations have heaped upon it, this intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying. betokening as it does a degree of military ardor throughout the State, hopeful in the extreme.

    List of Men that worked on the Fortifications at Mayfield, Kentucky August 17 to September 13, 1864 Transcribed and Names Identified by Dieter C. Ullrich Author's Note On the night of August 11, 1864, 1,500 Union infantry, cavalry and artillery entered and occupied the town of Mayfield, Kentucky. The troops had departed Paducah two days earlier and marched the twenty-six miles under the command of Brigadier General Eleazer A. Paine. Mayfield had been the center of the partisan movement in the Jackson Purchase and the nucleus of guerrilla activities in the region since the conflict between the States began. Paine, who was the commander of the District of Western Kentucky and headquartered at Paducah · since July 19, 1864, ordered the 134th and 136th Illinois Infantry Regiments along with a company of the 3rd Illinois Cavalry Regiment and a detachment of the 8th United States Colored Heavy Artillery to secure the town and stabilize the region. On the morning August 12, Paine selected the residence of John Eaker, a prominent Southern sympathizer and former Kentucky state legislator, to serve as post headquarters. He next ordered that a Well be sunk near the Graves County Courthouse, the railroad between Paducah and Mayfield be repaired and that a stockade be built around the court square. Paine then authorized Colonel Waters w_. McChesney, regimental commander of 134th Illinois Infantry, to seize the businesses and homes of outspoken Southern sympathizers for military use and 73 to house troops within the city. By the evening 12th, Union troops had moved into every churc hotel and tobacco warehouse in Mayfield.

October 1972 For all those who have ever sailed, are sailors at heart or have dreamed of the days when sailing ships plied the waters of Boston Harbor, we would like to identify our Harbor Islands’ Logo. Our experts tell us that this particular vessel was known as a four masted, double topsail bark or four masted bark with double topsail. A tendency in this country to use the term ship or "shipentine" never quite caught on and the term remained bark or barque as it was known in England.
