  • 17 July 1919 Nathan Crook Twining
    Nathan Crook Twining 17 January 1869 – 4 July 1924 Captain of Texas 31 December 1918 – 17 July 1919 Nathan Crook Twining was born in the scenic and historic Wisconsin town of Boscobel in 1869. After completing his studies at the Naval Academy in 1889 and his preliminary sea- duty, Twining was commissioned in 1891, serving two years aboard the cruiser USS Chicago, CA14. Chicago was Flagship of the Squadron of Evolution, which was the first organized group of ships of the modern Navy to fly the flag of the United States. From Chicago he next served in USS Kearsarge and then USS Newark. Kearsarge was the aging sloop famous for her sinking of the Confederate raider CSS Alabama at the end of the Civil War. Luckily for Twining, he had already left her before her destruction on a reef off South America in 1894. Aboard Newark, young Twining was able to be a part of the 400th Anniversary celebrations of Columbus’ discovery of the New World, which included naval reviews along the coast of Spain. Newark was America’s first modern cruiser, and so was later designated as C1. After leaving Newark, he next served in USS Concord, PG3, gaining experience and increasing his responsibilities as an up-and-coming naval officer, before hitching a ride on the marine research vessel USS Albatross to return home in 1894. For the next two years, he was stationed on shore at Hartford, Connecticut as Assistant Inspector of Ordnance, where he learned the principles of what would soon become his greatest accomplishment. Before that, however, Twining returned to sea aboard USS Iowa, BB4.

  • Albert Beveridge, "March of the Flag,"
    Library of Congress Albert J. Beveridge MARCH OF THE FLAG Address to an Indiana Republican Meeting Indianapolis, Indiana, 16 September 1898 Excerpts * ellow citizens, it is a noble land that God has Albert Beveridge, 1900 F given us; a land that can feed and clothe the world; a land whose coastlines would enclose half the countries of Europe; a land set like a sentinel between the two imperial oceans of the globe, a greater England with a nobler destiny. It is a mighty people that He has planted on this soil; a people sprung from the most masterful blood of history; a people perpetually revitalized by the virile, man-producing workingfolk of all the earth; a people imperial by virtue of their power, by right of their institutions, by authority of their Heaven-directed purposes the propagandists and not the misers of liberty. It is a glorious history our God has bestowed upon His chosen people; a history whose keynote was struck by [the] Liberty Bell; a history heroic with faith in our mission and our future; a history of statesmen who flung the boundaries of the Republic out into unexplored lands and savage wildernesses; a history of soldiers who carried the flag across the blazing deserts and through the ranks of hostile mountains, even to the gates of sunset; a history of a multiplying people who overran a continent in half a century; a history of prophets who saw the consequences of evils inherited from the past and of martyrs who died to save us from them; a history divinely logical, in the process of whose tremendous reasoning we find ourselves to-day.
