Riedel, Jr. Old Dominion University Director: Dr. Harold Wilson The v ia b ility of the Confederacy depended on its a b ility to organize a government and m ilitary defense force. Two early concerns were the operation of Gosport Naval Shipyard and protection of the Confederate capital at Richmond. Poised between them was Fortress Monroe. With undisputed Union mastery of the Chesapeake Bay, Fortress Monroe was a constant reminder of the tentative security of these critic a l points. The man chosen to protect the Peninsula was Virginian, John Bankhead Magruder. Less than one year later, his efforts were denigrated by Commanding General Joseph E. Johnston who wanted to pursue his own strategic plan. Under constant stress, Magruder performed with alacrity. Although the Peninsula was evacuated in May 1862, Magruder did an admirable job of defense. Magruder’s place in history has been discolored by perceived b attlefield failures at Savage’ s Station and Malvern H ill. -
Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.

Marching Through Pennsylvania
MARCHING THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA: THE STORY OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS DURING THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN by JASON MANN FRAWLEY Bachelor of Arts, 2000 Georgia Southern University Statesboro, Georgia Master of Arts, 2003 Georgia Southern University Statesboro, Georgia Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2008 Copyright by Jason Mann Frawley 2008 Acknowledgements This has always been the section I looked forward to writing most. Not only does it signify that I have completed my project but also that I have not traveled the weary path toward completion alone. While I certainly enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and find great pleasure in composing the narrative of history, I admittedly much prefer the opportunity to shine the light of appreciation on those people who have helped me through the difficult process. Granted, I will likely forget someone, and to him or her, I extend my deepest apologies Now, allow me thank the people who have helped me in what has been the most arduous journey of my academic career up to this point. First and foremost, I must thank my academic advisor, Dr. Steven E. Woodworth. He has been both a benevolent taskmaster and a generous friend. While our lunch-table conversations often diverged from the topic of history and led us into arguably more interesting and certainly more important areas of discussion, we always managed to find our way back to the task at hand. I could not have asked for a better mentor, and while I had the opportunity to go elsewhere, I know that I made the correct decision in choosing to study at Texas Christian University. -

EXPERIMI&2IITAL IRONCLAD: A CONDUCTION AND EARLY OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF THE USS GALElVA A Thesis KURT HENRY HACKEMER Submitted to the Oflice of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 1991 Major Subject: History EXPERIMENTAL IRONCLAD: A CONSTRUCTION AND EARLY OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF THE USS ~A A Thesis KURT HENRY HACKEMER Approved as to style and content by: Jo eph G. Dawson III (Chair of Committee) James C. Bradf rd James Burk (Member) (Member) tty Miller Unterberger Albert Broussard (Member) (Head of Department) May 1991 Experimental Ironclad: A Construction and Early Operational History of the USS Galena. (May 1991) Kurt Henry Hackemer, B.A. , University of Chicago Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joseph G. Dawson III This thesis analyzes the construction and early operational history of the USS Galena, a Civil War ironclad. It uses the Galena to examine the initial selection process for ironclads, to assess the ability of Northern industry to respond to the technical challenges of the war, to take a closer look at the often contentious process of ironclad construction, and to analyze the impact of this experimental design on the type of ironclads chosen to prosecute the war. The Galena was built as one of three experimental designs early in the war. The other two, the New Ironsides and the Monitor, were relatively successful, while the Galena had mixed results. She proved a tactical failure but a strategic success in the critical summer of 1862. Although unable to perform as well as expected, she had both a psychological and a physical impact during the Peninsula Campaign, playing a critical role in the salvation of General George Brinton McClellan's army after the Seven Days. -
Randolphs of Virginia
THE RANDOLPHS OF VIRGINIA A COMPILATION OF THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH OF TURKEY ISLAND AND HIS WIFE MARY ISHAM OF BERMUDA HUNDRED BY ROBERT ISHAM RANDOLPH OF CHICAGO PREFACE y COPY of '' The Page Family in Virginia'' is inscribed on the fly leaf, as follows: '' This book is one of a package sent to me for dis Mtribution by Dr. Richard Channing More Page, now a resident of New York, but a native of Albemarle County, Virginia, whose father was my father's first cousin, their mother being a daughter of Coln. Archibald Cary ( Old Iron) of Ampthill. In compliance with which collllmission, I present it to my grandson, Robert Isham Randolph, now an infant of months. (signed) Robert Carter Randolph, :M:. D., of New Market, Clarke County, Virginia, November 13, 1883." Having been thus inoculated with the genealogical virus before I was a year old and having lived all of my life apart from my father's people, I have always been interested in the ramifications of the tribe and have been engaged for a good ;many years in cataloguing and indexing them for identification in my own mirid. For this purpose I have used a genealogical data sheet published by the Lefax Company of Philadelphia and ordinary three by five inch file cards for an alphabetical-index. For the purpose of indexing the data sheets, I adopted a numerical system which I thought I had invented or adapted from the Dewey Decimal System of indexing in common use in all reference libraries. Later, I found a manuscript copy of a genealogy of the family of Sir John Randolph, compiled by Col. -

RESPECTFl,lLLY DEDICATED TO Tll'E Sr.IR '/77VING MEJlfBERS OF TJIE LEE FAJlr.lLY, BY TIIE EDITOR. dtt.~ HIS ancient genealogy, accompanied by an original coat• ~ of.arms, has long slumbered among the old family papers of the compiler of ·_his work. I ts authenticity is undoubted. The sad war that for four yea.rs darkened• our land developed in the North and South instances of personal heroism that make a part of the moral history of the world. Although the cause of which he was the military leader was· a failure, the name of Gen. Robert E. Lee is universally respected at the North and in Europe; while at the South it is almost rev. erenced, especially by the soldiers he commanded and the officers who served under him. That he has proved himself a. soldier, "without fear, and without reproach," is universally conceded; that he is a Christian gentleman and patriot, all who know him will bear willing testimony. To such a man, the "pomp of heraldry'' has but few attractions; but his name, whether linked with success or misfortune, is an unblemished one, and already belongs to history.
