One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization.

  • The Rewards of Risk-Taking: Two Civil War Admirals* 
    The 2014 George C. Marshall Lecture in Military History The Rewards of Risk-Taking: Two Civil War Admirals* James M. McPherson Abstract The willingness to take risks made Rear Admiral David Glasgow Far- ragut, victor at New Orleans in 1862 and Mobile Bay in 1864, the Union’s leading naval commander in the Civil War. Farragut’s boldness contrasted strongly with the lack of decisiveness shown in the failure in April 1863 to seize the port of Charleston, South Carolina, by Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, whose capture of Port Royal Sound in South Carolina in November of 1861 had made him the North’s first naval hero of the war. Du Pont’s indecisiveness at Charleston led to his removal from command and a blighted career, while the risk-taking Farragut went on to become, along with generals U.S. Grant and Wil- liam T. Sherman, one of the principal architects of Union victory. n September 1864 Captain Charles Steedman of the United States Navy praised Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut for his decisive victory over ConfederateI forts and warships in the Battle of Mobile Bay the previous month. “That little man,” wrote Steedman of the wiry Farragut who was actually just * This essay derives from the George C. Marshall Lecture on Military History, delivered on 4 January 2014 at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, Washington, D.C. The Marshall Lecture is sponsored by the Society for Military History and the George C. Marshall Foundation. James M. McPherson earned a Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University in 1963 and from 1962 to 2004 taught at Princeton University, where he is currently the George Henry Davis ’86 Profes- sor of American History Emeritus.

  • After the Occupation of Hilton Head, a Civilian Town Grew up to Serve the Needs of the Large Union Base and Its Garrison Here
    After the occupation of Hilton Head, a civilian town grew up to serve the needs of the large Union base and its garrison here. The town boasted a hotel, a theater, 2 newspapers, and numerous stores, centering along a street, officially Suttlers Row, which ran east from this point about ½ mile to the army tent encampment. 1961 by Hilton Head Island Historical Society.

  • The Battle of Port Royal Sound
    ARTICLE The Battle of Port Royal Sound At the beginning of the American Civil War, the temporary dissolution of the United States Coast Survey was considered by Congress as a cost-saving measure. In response to this possible action, Alexander Dallas Bache, then superintendent of the Coast Survey, attached Coast Survey officers to all major naval and army commands; formulated the concept of a Blockade Strategy Board; and directed the compilation of Notes on the Coast of the United States, a series of memoirs describing in detail the hydrographic characteristics of various sections of the southern coastline of the United States. Bache also became a member of the Board with navy officers Samuel Du Pont (chairman) and Charles Henry Davis and Army officer John G. Barnard. Partially based on information contained in Notes on the Coast...,, the Board recommended that naval operating bases be seized at Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico, Hatteras Inlet on the North Carolina coast, and a port in the vicinity of Charleston, South Carolina. Port Royal, South Carolina, was selected as the most rational location for a southeast coast naval base. To seize Port Royal meant the Union Navy would have to destroy the two forts guarding the harbour - Fort Walker and Fort Beauregard. Hatteras Inlet and Ship Island were seized in the late summer of 1861. The attack on Port Royal was scheduled for a month and a half later. Perhaps by design, Du Pont was designated flag officer of the expedition and Davis was named commanding officer of the flagship, U.S.S.
