University of Alabama Press, $45.00 hardcover ISBN 817314512 Life on a Confederate Raider Timeless and Bound The Voyage of the CSS Shenandoah is the cruise journal of Lt. William Conway Whittle, Jr., the executive officer (second in command) of the Confederate commerce raider Shenandoah. Lucid and detailed, Whittle's writing illuminates both time-bound details of the Shenandoah's cruise and timeless elements of warship life at sea. The Shenandoah's story began in September 1864, when Confederate agent James D. Bulloch secretly purchased the full-rigged steamer Sea King in England. In the same way he equipped the famed Alabama, Bulloch sent the Sea King to Madeira to rendezvous with another ship that carried her guns, stores, equipment, and officers. On October 19, 1864, Lt. James Iredell Waddell commissioned the Sea King as the CSS Shenandoah and took command, with Whittle as his executive officer. The newly commissioned raider, with less than a third of the crew she needed, set off into the Atlantic.

Warley who went South in December 1860. • Introduction • Acknowledgements • Going South • Table I: USN Officer Resignation and Dismissals April 1861 by Days • Table II: USN Officer Resignations and Dismissals 1860 - 1861 by Months • Table III: Proportion of Officers "Going South" • Footnotes • Appendix: Data on Officers Resigning, Accepted and Dismissed --i--- Library of Congress Catalogue No. 81-85072. --ii--- Introduction While still less than a hundred years old in 1861, the nation stood on the brink of catastrophic civil war as states in the lower south followed South Carolina in seceding from the Union. These dire times confronted officers of Southern origin in the country's military service with an agonizing decision whether to remain under the "Old Flag" or leave and follow their section. Local, state and family ties ran very deep. Men of the highest principles from young midshipmen at the Naval Academy to the most senior officers who had devoted their lives to the Navy---Raphael Semmes, Josiah Tarnall, Matthew Fontaine Maury, for example, resigned their commissions to cast their lot with the Confederacy. In this unique and interesting study, Dr. William S. Dudley of the Naval Historical Center has examined in depth how President Lincoln, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, and the Navy Department reacted to and handled the almost 400 Navy and Marine Corps officers who resigned to "Go South." The author has included a comprehensive appendix listing the name of each officer by rank.

  • Starke County Historical Society Has Applied for a Historical Marker to Commemorate This Historically Important School
    A PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF STARKE COUNTY INDIANA ~ Compiled by Marvin Allen Starke County Historian Copyright© 2008 Introduction Originally submitted to local newspapers between 2004 and 2009 as “Starke History”, these photographs provide a pictorial record of more than a hundred years of local history. Some were taken by other professional photographers, as well as amateurs with early box cameras, but the majority of the pictures were taken by Klopot Studios. Sigmund Klopot moved with his wife Clara and daughter Stella to the area in 1894 from Chicago. Soon studios were opened at North Judson, Knox and Bass Lake. Later Stella related that the lens was so valuable that they carried it with them from studio to studio. She said they traveled on the 3-I Train from Knox to North Judson every Friday morning, handled business there and then took the Erie Train to Bass Lake for the weekend, at least during the summers. After arriving at the south end of Bass Lake, they would take one of the steam boats around the lake as it dropped tourists off a various hotels. Their studio was in Winona on the lake’s north side. Tintypes were a tourist’s favorite. They were quick to make and less costly than prints, which required a separate negative. After Sigmund died in 1912, Clara continued on with the business for many years. Stella eventually took over and ran the studio until the late 1960s. Stella (Klopot) Bonner also served as Starke County’s first County Historian. We are forever indebted to the Klopot family for their many, now historic, photos and efforts to preserve local history.

  • Almost from the Beginning of the North Carolina Historical Commission, There Appears to Have Been An
    MILITARY COLLECTION IX. CIVIL WAR COLLECTION, 1860-1965, N.D. Accessions information: Almost from the beginning of the North Carolina Historical Commission, there appears to have been an effort to collect and group together records relating to the various military conflicts in which North Carolinians have participated. Unfortunately, the provenance of many of the records so collected and grouped together has been lost or, at best, obscured. Acquisition of records relating to the Civil War is noted in each biennial report of the N.C. Historical Commission (or its successor, the State Department of Archives and History) since 1910. Some of these notices include complete description and provenance of the records acquired. Others are very vague and incomplete. The following is a resume of most of the information contained in the biennial reports from 1910 to 1934: 1910-1912 (p. 9), 8 muster rolls; 1912- 1914 (p. 10), manuscript report of sick and wounded Confederate soldiers at General Hospital No. 8, Raleigh, 1864; muster roll, Co. K, 54th Regiment, N.C.T., January 1-February 28, 1864; 1914-1916 (P. 11), 17 muster rolls, 3 muster rolls (described), 1 enlistment paper, and payrolls of 4th Regiment, N.C.S.T.; 1916- 1918 (pp. 12-13), 25 muster rolls (described) and descriptive book of Co. G, 3rd Regiment, N C.S.T.; 1918-1920 (p. 13), 1 muster roll (described); 1920-1922 (p. 15), 2,500 "pieces," 500 telegrams, 26th Regimental Quartermaster records, 26th Regimental muster rolls, and roster of Pitt County soldiers; 1924-1926 (p. 20), 112 C.S.N.

  • 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011
    Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011 INTRODUCTION W. Todd Groce, PhD President and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) was a banner one for the Georgia Historical Society. Due to the launch of a capital and capacity building campaign the institution enjoyed its most prosperous year in nearly 175 years of continuous operation. As evidence of this, GHS raised a record $5 million for educational programming, archival services, capital projects and endowment. The endowment continued to rebound, and at the end of the fiscal year reached $6.54 million, close to its pre-recession level. Total assets grew from $7,382,181 in FY10 to $13,476,604 at the end of FY11, an increase of 82.5 percent. This healthy bottom line was due in part to careful financial management, dynamic board leadership, a recovering stock market, and the creation of two new endowment funds: the Dr. Henry Sauls Fund, established by a gift of $25,000 from John and Laura Wallace; and the Allan Gaynor Fund, established by an initial bequest of $300,000 from Alan Gaynor, a long-time supporter of GHS. The primary reason, however, for the significant increase in the Society’s net assets was the acquisition in June 2011 of the property at 104 West Gaston Street in Savannah for development as the Jepson House Education Center. Named in honor of philanthropists and higher education champions Robert and Alice Jepson, this is the first physical expansion of the Georgia Historical Society in forty years.
