Noble Loyal Legion; One is left to drink a toast, Noble Loyal Legion; THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER. He'll remember days of yore, Loved companions gone before, Oh ! say, can you see by the dawn's early lig"ht, Mustered on the shining shore, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming-, Noble Loyal Legion. Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming: Fill your goblets to the brim, And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Noble Loyal Legion; Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; Join in the Commandery hymn, Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave Noble Loyal Legion; O'er the land of the free and the home of "the brave? May the last companion here, When he sees grim death draw near, Meet him with bold Legion cheer, On the shore dimly seen through the mist of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. Noble Loyal Legion. What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam WE OLD BOYS OF '61. In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream; 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave 'Twas side by side as comrades dear, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. In dark days long ago, We fought the fight without a fear, And rendered blow for blow, Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand In battle, march, or prison pen, Between their loved home and war's desolation; Each unto each was true, Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land As beardless boys became strong men, Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a Nation. And brav'd the long war thro'. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto—"In God is our trust!" CHORUS. And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wTave We are the boys, the gay old boys, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Who marched in sixty-one: We'll ne'er forget old times, my boys, When you and I were young. And tho' thro' all these years of peace, We've somewhat older grown, SONG OF THE LEGION. The spirit of those early days We'll ever proudly own. {Composed by Gen. y a mes Mc^uade.) Our grand old flag is just as fair, Brave companions, tried and true, As in the trying time Noble Loyal Legion; When traitors sought its folds to tear, Veterans who wore the blue, And we suppressed the crime. Noble Loyal Legion; What if grim age creeps on apace, Men who drew the nation's sword, Our souls shall not grow old, Saved the flag from being lowered, But we will stand as in the days Rally round this jovial board, When we were warriors bold. Noble Loj^al Legion, We stood for right—for our dear land, For home and all that's true, Quick their country's call to heed, So firmly clasp hand unto hand, Noble Loyal Legion; And comradeship renew. Faithful in the hour of need, Noble Loyal Legion; Glorious deeds of patriot band, Fighting for fair Freedom's land, MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA. Bright on history's page shall stand, Nobie Loyal Legion. Bring the good old bugle, boys! we'll sing another song— Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along— Laureled banners on the wall. Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thousand strong, Noble Loyal Legion; While we were marching through Georgia. Tender memories recall, Noble Loyal Legion; CHORUS. Joys with sadness intertwine. "Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the Jubilee! Hearts through humid eyes outshine, Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!" Tears perfume the merry wine, So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, Noble Loyal Legion. While we were marching through Georgia. Year by year the ranks get thin, How the darkies shouted when they heard the joyful sound! Noble Loyal Legion; How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found! Few recruits are taken in, How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground, Noble Loyal Legion; While we were marching through Georgia! There's no place for traitor knave, Sordid churl or dastard slave— So we made a thoroughfare for Freedom and her train, Vainly such admission crave, Sixty miles in latitude—three hundred to the main; Noble Loyal Legion. Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain, While we were marching through Georgia. jk ..„ADDRESS..,. ON THE THE CELEBRATION. CIVIL AND MILITARY CAREER OF GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN.

ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Wildland Fire Program A Test of Adversity and Strength Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman NPS/J HENRY A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman, Principal Investigator National Park Service Cooperative Agreement Order #CA 8034-2-9003 Special Consultant: Stephen J. Pyne Research Associates: Lincoln Bramwell, Brenna Lissoway, and Lesley Argo Project Managers David Sproul, Michael Childers, and Daniel Holder i Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men. Seneca, Epistles ii Executive Summary The National Park Service’s mission, unique among federal agencies, has made its history of fire policy diverge from that of its peers. Federal fire protection began in the national parks in 1886, when the U.S. Army assumed administration of Yellowstone National Park. After the trauma of the 1910 fire season and creation of a civilian National Park Service in 1916, the new Service embraced the U.S. Forest Service’s policy of aggressive fire suppression. For almost fifty years, suppression was policy, a reality that only began to change in the 1950s. The Leopold Report, published in 1963, further articulated differences in the National Park Service’s mission with its call for parks to be managed as “vignettes of primitive America.” Following passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, federal agencies – including the NPS – were compelled to reassess their management plans in the context of the new law. Steadily, each federal agency found its mission redefined and its goals recast; this translated into a more diverse spectrum of fire practices, at once splintering the former unity of purpose that surrounded suppression while demanding new ideas and devices to reintegrate those fragmented parts.

  • “Battles Were Not Fought in Lines”: Nationalism, Industrialism and Progressivism in the American Military Discourse, 1865-1918
    “Battles Were Not Fought In Lines”: Nationalism, Industrialism and Progressivism in the American Military Discourse, 1865-1918 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Leif A. Torkelsen, A.B., M.A., J.D. Department of History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Geoffrey Parker, Adviser Dr. Nathan Rosenstein Dr. Bruno Cabanes Copyright by Leif A. Torkelsen 2018 Abstract Although notably modest in size compared to its European counterparts, the United States Army was still acutely aware of the technological and tactical developments occurring overseas in the decades prior to the First World War. Nonetheless, in the years 1914-17, US military planners were stubbornly reluctant to accept the extraordinary innovations then taking place on the battlefields of Europe. Worse still, when the United States finally did enter the war, the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in France resisted adopting the techniques and tactics of their allies, developed in battle at such great cost. Instead, the U.S. Army’s Field Service Regulations clung to a vision of lines of riflemen, advancing in open order, overcoming all resistance with controlled rifle fire followed-up with the bayonet. Trained in such outmoded and linear tactics (“open warfare”, as Pershing called it), the American troops fighting in France needlessly suffered heavy losses. This, despite the fact that the American army possessed a modern general staff, numerous service schools and journals, military attachés and observers the world over. The reasons for this failure lay in the development of the military discourse developed by the U.S.

  • Sportsmen and the Evolution of the Conservation Idea
    Sportsmen and the evolution of the conservation idea in Yellowstone : 1882-1894 by Sarah Ellen Broadbent A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Montana State University © Copyright by Sarah Ellen Broadbent (1997) Abstract: This thesis examines the historic role of sportsmen in preserving Yellowstone National Park's wildlife and in establishing protective legislation and effective management of park resources. Although Yellowstone had initially been established in 1872 to protect the region's geologic features, over the decades of the 1880s and 1890s, sportsmen helped expand the goals of preservation to include wildlife, watersheds, and forests. Using primary source documents such as Forest and Stream magazine and archival records of Yellowstone National Park, this study demonstrates that sportsmen had a wider vision of conservation than generally given credit by historians and had a critical impact on changing management policies in Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding national forests.

  • The Evolution of Union Cavalry 1861
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Laurence D. Schiller, The Evolution of the Federal Cavalry 1861-1865 | June 2017 The Evolution of the Union Cavalry 1861-1865 By Laurence D. Schiller he story of the Federal cavalry during the Civil War is not only the story of the development of raw recruits and officers from difficult beginnings to a finely T honed and feared machine, but also the story of the evolution of an arm of the U.S. military that had been neglected before 1861. Unlike the infantry or artillery, where manuals existed to teach new recruits how to drill and fight in a pre-existing system, cavalry leaders had to figure out precisely what their role would be in a war that was completely unlike the European wars of the past 100 years and the conflicts against Native Americans. There was no American cavalry manual to guide them nor was the military establishment itself very clear on what cavalry was supposed to do in a war where the terrain was often heavily wooded and against opponents who were equivalently trained and equipped. So those who became the commanders of Union cavalry had to figure out not only how to train their troopers and officers, but to determine exactly what their role and missions would be, what tactics would be needed to carry those tasks out, how cavalry would relate to the other two arms both in support and combat, and what their role would be in the overall strategic scheme for winning the war. In short, they had to answer the question, why do we need cavalry? Over the course of the war Federal commanders came up with a solution to the problem.
