Prof. Dr. Kenneth Weisbrode August 2020 Between 1869 and 1878, American officers from both sides of the Civil War were recruited into the Egyptian Army. The former foes collaborated in reforming the khedival military by reorganizing the units and professional training, building up defenses, exploring territories down to Equatorial Provinces, and mapping the peripheries. As an earlier example of ex-Confederate-Union amalgamation, the Egyptian experience provided the veterans, whom post-war economic and political conditions in the United States pushed for new quests to restore their professional and economic dignity. This dissertation narrates the story of their sojourn in Egypt, their activities, how they were able to reconcile in a profoundly foreign setting, and the sense of alienation in the host society, which contributed to this (re)constructed national identity. Keywords: American Civil War, Egypt, Honor, Reconciliation, Veterans. iii ÖZET İTİBAR VE AMERİKALI KİMLİĞİNİN YENİDEN İNŞASI: AMERİKAN İÇ SAVAŞI VETERANLARININ MISIR DENEYİMİ Yiğit, Tarık Tansu Doktora, Tarih Bölümü Tez Danışmanı: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Kenneth Weisbrode Ağustos 2020 1869-1878 yılları arasında Amerikan İç Savaşı’nın her iki tarafından yaklaşık elli subay Mısır ordusunda görev almıştır. Konfederasyon-Birlik veteranları arasındaki uzlaşının erken bir örneği olan Amerikan “misyonu,” Mısır askeri teşkilatının yeniden düzenlenmesi, savunma yapılarının istihkam edilmesi, Ekvator kuşağına uzanan keşifler ve çevre bölgelerin haritalandırılmasında işbirliği yapmışlardır. Mısır deneyimi, savaş sonrası ekonomik ve politik koşulların yeni arayışlara ittiği veteranlara, mesleki ve ekonomik itibarlarını yeniden tesis edebilecekleri bir restorasyon olanağı sunmuştur. Amerikalı subayların kişisel arayışları ve Mısır’daki faaliyetlerine odaklanan bu çalışma, ayrıca, veteranların kültürel açıdan oldukça yabancı bir ortamda nasıl bir araya gelebildiklerini ve tecrübe ettikleri yabancılık hissinin grup içinde Amerikan kimliğinin yeniden inşasına nasıl katkıda bulunduğunu incelemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Amerikan İç Savaşı, İtibar, Mısır, Uzlaşı, Veteranlar. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENT When “two roads diverge in a wood,” you either take “the one less traveled by” or the one many followed before you. One is exciting with the allure of the unknown, and the other is safe with the comfort of familiarity. I have undertaken the challenging yet exhilarating task of following both, namely academia and professional life, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes returning to the start after running through one. Perhaps it was not the best decision. Still, it made all the difference. It was a long journey, during which my road has crossed with some excellent mentors who made valuable contributions at each level. My advisor Kenneth Weisbrode, Tanfer E. Tunç, Owen Miller, and Edward Kohn have always been a great help during the painful writing process and became my role models with their kindness to share their wisdom throughout my doctoral study. Without their scholarly guidance, friendly advice, patience, and everlasting motivation, this degree would not be earned. I owe special thanks to Akif Kireçci and Bahar Gürsel for their kind reviews, feedback, and joyful cooperation to make this dissertation stronger as well as their ever-growing support in general. As a student with converging interests in American Studies, I am glad to be a “seasoned” member of Bilkent History and Hacettepe American Culture and Literature families. I sincerely thank my professors in both departments for a decade of guidance, which made me what I am today. I am also grateful to The Turkish v Fulbright Commission for supporting my research in the United States; Cemal Kafadar for his boundless inspiration and for sponsoring my fellowship at the Harvard History Department; cohorts from whom I learned a lot at the loveliest Yard; the helpful staff of NARA, Library of Congress, UNC Wilson Library, Madison Historical Society Library and Harvard libraries who altogether fascinated me with their courtesy; editors of The Journal of the Civil War Era for their review of my article which is an offspring of this broader text; Fisun, Ali, and Raul for kindly tolerating my class/teaching days out of office and early morning drinks; Nil Tekgül for her encouragement during the coffee breaks at lovely Lamont Library; Berrak Burçak, Abdi, Can, Burcu, Ayşegül, Murat, Doğuş, Turaç, Mert, Sena, and Merve for all the great memories as well as petty miseries on AZ, HZ corridors; Watchmen for keeping me in the club although I still haven’t watched The Wire; Josh for his meticulous reading of my article draft; Franze, Konrad and little Leyla for opening the study-terrace; Line, Tim, and Adelie for threshold talks at midnight; Cem and Aytaç for the muse of music both in Cambridge and on the narrow lanes of Eastern Turkey; Polat, Burak and Eda for making things more accessible; Burçak, İpek, Pelin, Esin, Eda, Gizem, Duygu, Emel and Cagla for their lifelong friendship. My sister has looked at me with some sort of admiration in her words, but she proved to be more influential on her students in a small town not far from where the land meets Lake Van. I admire her diligence, while her tendency to minimize her abilities drive me crazy. My parents do not understand what I am doing –it seems they gave up! According to mom, I should have retired from studying long before and had a night of better sleep, instead. Nevertheless, it is always relieving to know that the family members would do everything in their best capacity to make you cheerful. Mine have done so. I dedicate this humble work to the memory of my beloved vi grandma, who passed away recently, leaving me in unmatched despair. Still, I am relieved to know she knew that I loved her with all my heart. Thanks, in all languages, spoken and dead. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................. iii ÖZET ......................................................................................................................... iv ACKNOWLEDGMENT ........................................................................................... v TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................................................... viii CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ............................................................................... 1 1.1.

    9 Abu Naddara: the Forerunner of Egyptian Satirical Press Doaa Adel Mahmoud Kandil Associate Professor Faculty of Tourism &

    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality VOL 13 - NO.1-JUNE 2016 (part1) 9-40 Abu Naddara: The Forerunner of Egyptian Satirical Press Doaa Adel Mahmoud Kandil Associate Professor Faculty of Tourism & Hotels- Helwan University Abstract "Abu Naddara" was an early satirical journal that was first published in Cairo in 1878 by Yaqub Sannu. After Sannu's collision with Khedive Ismail and eventual departure to Paris, he continued to publish it there for almost three successive decades uninterruptedly, however under various changeable names. This journal was by all means the forerunner of satirical opposition press in modern Egypt. In a relatively very short time, "Abu Naddara" gained tremendous success through its humorous but rather bold and scathing criticism of Khedive Ismail's and later Khedive Tewfik's regime that helped turn public opinion against them. No wonder, it soon won popularity because it gave a voice to the downtrodden masses who found in it an outlet for their long-bottled anger. In other words, it turned to be their Vox populi that addressed their pressing problems and expressed their pains. Accordingly, it emerged as a political platform that stood in the face of corruption and social injustice, called for an all-encompassing reform, and most of all raised country-wide national awareness in the hope to develop grass-root activism. This paper investigates the role played by the journal of "Abu Naddara" in spearheading the national opposition against Khedival excesses together with the growing foreign intervention within the closing years of Ismail's reign and the opening years of Tewfik's one that ended up with the British occupation of Egypt.

    Mrs. General Lee's Attempts to Regain Her Possessions After the Cnil War

    MRS. GENERAL LEE'S ATTEMPTS TO REGAIN HER POSSESSIONS AFTER THE CNIL WAR By RUTH PRESTON ROSE When Mary Custis Lee, the wife of Robert E. Lee, left Arlington House in May of 1861, she removed only a few of her more valuable possessions, not knowing that she would never return to live in the house which had been home to her since her birth in 1808. The Federal Army moved onto Mrs. Lee's Arling­ ton estate on May 25, 1861. The house was used as army headquarters during part of the war and the grounds immediately around the house became a nation­ al cemetery in 1864. Because of strong anti-confederate sentiment after the war, there was no possibility of Mrs. Lee's regaining possession of her home. Restora­ tion of the furnishings of the house was complicated by the fact that some articles had been sent to the Patent Office where they were placed on display. Mary Anna Randolph Custis was the only surviving child of George Washing­ ton Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Her father was the grandson of Martha Custis Washington and had been adopted by George Washington when his father, John Custis, died during the Revolutionary War. The child was brought up during the glorious days of the new republic, living with his adopted father in New York and Philadelphia during the first President's years in office and remaining with the Washingtons during their last years at Mount Vernon. In 1802, after the death of Martha Washington, young Custis started building Arlington House on a hill overlooking the new city of Washington.

    Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis”

    David Kramer “Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis” George Schwartz was thought to be one of the few untouched by the explosion of the Maine in the Havana Harbor. Schwartz said that he was fine. However, three weeks later in Key West, he began to complain of not being able to sleep. One of the four other survivors [in Key West] said of Schwartz, “Yes, sir, Schwartz is gone, and he knows it. I don’t know what’s the matter with him and he don’t know. But he’s hoisted his Blue Peter and is paying out his line.” After his removal to the Marine Hospital in Brooklyn, doctors said that Schwartz’s nervous system had been completely damaged when he was blown from the deck of the Maine. —from press reports in early April 1898, shortly before the United States officially declared War on Spain. n August 11th 1898 at a Central Park lawn party organized by the Women’s Patriotic Relief Association, 6,000 New Yorkers gathered to greet invalided sol- diers and sailors returningO from Cuba following America’s victory. Despite the men’s infirmities, each gave his autograph to those in attendance. A stirring letter was read from Richmond Hobson, the newly anointed hero of Santiago Bay. Each soldier and sailor received a facsimile lithograph copy of the letter as a souvenir.1 Twenty years later, the sight of crippled and psychologically traumatized soldiers returning from France would shake the ideals of Victorian England, and to a lesser degree, the United States.

    Harmon Bloodgood Is the Only Civil War Veteran Buried in the Historic Cemetery at St

    By David Osborn Site Manager, St. Paul’s Church National Historic Site October 2014 Civil War Soldier Buried at St. Paul’s served with the Third Cavalry of the United States Army Harmon Bloodgood is the only Civil War veteran buried in the historic cemetery at St. Paul’s who served in the regular United States Army, distinct from the state volunteer regiments created to meet the crisis of the Union. Ten months before Southern batteries pummeled Fort Sumter in South Carolina signaling the onset of the Civil War, Bloodgood joined the cavalry. He enlisted in June 1860 for a five year tour in the First Mounted Rifles, which had been founded in 1846. The regiment was posted on the broad stretch of the southwest, New Mexico and Texas, fighting the Comanche and other Indian nations. Policing the western frontier of American settlement was the principal responsibility of the regular American army, a small force of about 16,000 soldiers. Recruits were primarily recent immigrants, mostly from Ireland and Germany. Bloodgood, 21, reflects another channel to the regular army: young men born in America, struggling with difficult circumstances, seeking consistent livelihood and adventure. He was one of five children of a laborer living in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Bloodgood’s enlistment reports an occupation of mason. The recession and reduction in employment in the Northern states caused by the panic 1857 may have contributed to his decision to join the army. He enrolled in New York City under an Masons preparing to set bricks in the 19th century. alias, Harry Black, perhaps an indication of a strategic decision to conceal identity, a feasible practice in the 19th century before a national classification system.

    Calais to Cairo

    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM Periodpostcard The Qasr al-Nil bridge, flanked by two bronze lions, which some-ex-American officers crossed to meet the Khedive in his Gezira Palace By Charles Priestley he standard answer to the question of what was the last shot fired in the T American Civil War is that it was the shot which the CSS Shenandoah fired across the bows of a Yankee whaler in the Bering Sea on June 28, 1865. On the other hand, it could plausibly be argued that the last shot of the Civil War was actually the one which killed a certain former Confederate guerrilla calling himself Mr. Howard as he was dusting a picture in his house in St Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1882. One candidate for the title, though, must definitely be the shot which the secretary to Benjamin Butler’s nephew fired in the best hotel in Alexandria on July 11, 1872, at a former Confederate Navy lieutenant named William Campbell, hitting him in the leg. The Alexandria in question, however, was not Alexandria, Virginia, but Alexandria, Egypt, known to the locals as Al-Iskandariyyah. So what were Campbell and some 44 other Civil War veterans, North and South, doing in Egypt in Egyptian Army uniform? To answer that, it is necessary to go back to the beginning of the 19th century, or rather slightly before, to Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798. The French occupation of Egypt lasted for only three years, but it had an enormous impact on both Western Europe and Egypt.

    Engagement: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song

    THE POLITICS OF (DIS)ENGAGEMENT: COPTIC CHRISTIAN REVIVAL AND THE PERFORMATIVE POLITICS OF SONG by CAROLYN M. RAMZY A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Carolyn Ramzy (2014) Abstract The Performative Politics of (Dis)Engagment: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song Carolyn M. Ramzy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music, University of Toronto 2014 This dissertation explores Coptic Orthodox political (dis)engagement through song, particularly as it is expressed through the colloquial Arabic genre of taratil. Through ethnographic and archival research, I assess the genre's recurring tropes of martyrdom, sacrifice, willful withdrawal, and death as emerging markers of community legitimacy and agency in Egypt's political landscape before and following the January 25th uprising in 2011. Specifically, I explore how Copts actively perform as well as sing a pious and modern citizenry through negations of death and a heavenly afterlife. How do they navigate the convergences and contradictions of belonging to a nation as minority Christian citizens among a Muslim majority while feeling that they have little real civic agency? Through a number of case studies, I trace the discursive logics of “modernizing” religion into easily tangible practices of belonging to possess a heavenly as well as an earthly nation. I begin with Sunday Schools in the predominately Christian and middle-class neighborhood of Shubra where educators made the poetry of the late Coptic Patriarch, Pope Shenouda III, into taratil and drew on their potentials of death and withdrawal to reform a Christian moral interiority and to teach a modern and pious Coptic citizenry.

Dr. Adam Newton, my adviser, not only read my work carefully and guided my intellectual meanderings with tact and sympathy, but also provided a constant example of academic rigor, linguistic brilliance, and professional integrity. He pushed me to “own my text” and articulate my arguments with force and commitment. If at the end of this journey I can hope to have become a better--responsive and responsible—writer, I owe that to a great extent to his enormous patience and unfailing encouragement. My profound gratitude goes also to Dr. Shelley Fisher Fishkin, whose continuous interest in this project, and generous willingness to share her enormous knowledge of American literature and culture have been nothing short of extraordinary.
