Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library Finding Aid for Series III: Unpublished Materials The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection July 11, 1863 – April 20, 1865 Finding Aid Created: October 8, 2020 Searching Instructions for Series III: Unpublished Materials, of the Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection When searching for names in Series III: Unpublished Materials of the Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection, the researcher must take note of the manner in which the Papers of Ulysses Grant editorial project maintained its files. Names of individuals who often corresponded with, for, or about General Grant were shortened to their initials for the sake of brevity. In most instances, these individuals will be found by searching for their initials (however, this may not always be the case; searching the individual’s last name may yield additional results). The following is a list of individuals who appear often in the files, and, as such, will be found by searching their initials: Arthur, Chester Alan CAA Jones, Joseph Russell JRJ Babcock, Orville Elias (Aide) OEB Lagow, Clark B. CBL Badeau, Adam AB Lee, Robert Edward REL Banks, Nathaniel Prentiss NPB Lincoln, Abraham AL Bowers, Theodore S.

The Ohio State University 1970 Approved by Adviser Department of English ACKNOWLEDGMENTS X wish to thank first those to whom I am indebted in Scotland. Had it not been for the assistance and co-operation of Mr. Antony S. Chambers, chairman of W. & R. Chambers Ltd, this study would never have become a reality. Not only did he initially give an unknown American permission to study the firm's archives, but he has subsequently provided whatever I needed to facilitate my research. Gracious and generous, he is a worthy descendent of the first Robert Chambers. All associated with the Chambers firm— directors and warehousemen alike— played an important part in my research, from answering technical queries to helping unearth records almost forgotten. Equally helpful in their own way were the librarians of the University of Edinburgh Library and the National Library of Scotland. Finally, the people of Edinburgh made a signif­ icant, albeit indirect, contribution. From them I learned something of what it means to a Scot to be a Scot. In this country I owe my greatest debt to my adviser, Professor Richard D.

In most Reconstruction literature, the question of black American freedom and citizenship was the central issue of Reconstruction, but not to the Republicans. The question of black American freedom and citizenship was the most salient issue to them, but they set that issue within a larger problem: the political regime of the antebellum slave South had deviated from the plan of the American Founders long before secession in 1860-1861.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Prior to activation of the Floodway, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed self-contained stage sensors throughout the Floodway to capture the change in water elevation through time at various Upcoming ASCE Events locations. Daily streamflow measurements were made upstream of the Mississippi-Ohio River confluence, within the Floodway opening, and on the January 15 Mississippi River downstream of the Floodway opening. Additionally, velocity and ASCE Monthly Luncheon bathymetric data were collected downstream of the Floodway to characterize scour.

Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved by: Chair of Committee, Joseph Dawson Committee Members, James Bradford Joseph Cerami Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

Pearcy, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas August, 1996 Pearcy, Matthew T., A History of the Mississippi River Commission. 1879-1928: From Levees-onlv to a Comprehensive Program of Flood Control for the Lower Mississippi Valley. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1996, 216 pp., references, 141 titles. In 1879 Congress created the Mississippi River Commission (MRC) to develop and coordinate federal flood control policy for the Lower Mississippi River. Through 1927, that Commission clung stubbornly to a "levees-only" policy that was based on the mistaken belief that levees alone could be effective in controlling the flood waters of the Mississippi River. When the levees failed--and they occasionally did--the MRC responded by raising and strengthening the system but refused to adopt a more comprehensive program, one which would include outlets and reservoirs. Finally, a disastrous flood in 1927 forced the abandonment of levees-only and the adoption of a comprehensive plan for the Lower Mississippi River.
