Davis, Director Family & Regional History Program Wallace State College Hanceville, AL 35077-2000 The United States government published lists of its employees roughly every two years from 1816 to 1914 usually as A Register of Officers and Agents, Civil, Military, and Naval in the Service of the United States or a variant on this title. State and country of birth appears for most of the Federal employee in the editions for September 1816, 1819, 1821, 1823, and 1825, including for most of the thousands of deputy postmasters across the country. As the men and women who filled these positions were usually local people old enough to have important political connections, they often were not likely to have lived long enough to appear in the 1850 census. This information often appears nowhere else. Major research librar- ies and archives have sets of these books although often on microfiche.The free web site Google Books includes the 1816 edition of this series. For other sources for information on Federal employees see Claire Prelchtel-Kluskens, “Documenting the Careers of Federal Employees,” Prologue: The Quarterly of the National Archives 26 (1994): 180-83 and Genealogical and Bio- graphical Research: a Select Guide to NARA Microfilm, available on the Internet at http://www.archives.gov/publications/ microfilm-catalogs/biographical/.Holdings discussed in the latter publication include autobiographical applications for Federal jobs from presidents John Adams through U.

FORE WO RD The editor's of this 1933 Jumbo Book have attempted to portray within these pages a record of the life, the atmosphere, and the spirit of this eighty-first year of Tufts College, which they hope will be received with due appreciation of the task which has been before them, remembering the depressing economic circumstances which have caused them to curtail the quantity but not the quality of this book.

  • In Death Not Divided Tombstone Survey & Burial Places of East Tennessee Civil War Veterans
    In Death Not Divided Tombstone Survey & Burial Places of East Tennessee Civil War Veterans A Regional project of the East Tennessee Historical Society in partnership with affiliate and local societies In commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, the East Tennessee Historical Society is sponsoring a project to identify the burial places of East Tennessee Civil War soldiers, as well as any Civil War soldier buried in the region. Individuals and historical, genealogical, lineage, and other organizations are invited to participate. The second goal of the project is to survey the condition of the tombstones, indicating if they are broken, legible or illegible, military or private. It is hoped that the project will spur the marking of graves and/or repair of tombstones. The forms submitted for the project will become part of a East Tennessee Civil War graves collection in the McClung Historical Collection, where, given the forces of time and progress, they will be a permanent record of the stones, their locations, and conditions. The database of information is slated to launch in October 2013 and can be accessed via the East Tennessee Historical Society website. Criteria for veteran inclusion _____________________________________________ • Union and Confederate • Soldier from East Tennessee with service in East Tennessee regiment or other • Soldier who served from East Tennessee, buried in East Tennessee or elsewhere • East Tennessee soldier who died in prison, battle, or military hospital, even if burial place unknown • Any Civil War

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application. Conventional EPOCH MARK Hitachi Zosen is also expanding this new structural system for the development of combination cargo carriers such as PROBO or Tank configuration OBO carriers other than oil tankers.

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.
