Ryan San Diego Camp 302 Sons of Confederate Veterans VOLUME 29 NUMBER 1 January/February 2021 The Dogfight The USS Oriskany (CV 34) – The carrier was named after a major battle at Oriskany Creek, NY during the Revolutionary War, was operating in the Sea of Japan just southeast of the North Korean city of Chongjin, not far from its northern border with China and close enough to Vladivostok, Siberia to put the carrier within reach of Soviet aircraft based there. This was in November 1952, The USS Oriskany was part of a three-carrier group operating under Task Force 77 assigned the mission of striking North Korean industrial sites. Because of operations so close to China and the Soviet Union, fighter aircraft from the carriers routinely flew Combat Air Patrols (CAP) in the event enemy aircraft ventured close enough to pose a threat. Our readers will recall reading in The Conquered Banner’s September/October issue the article, “Searching for David” that highlighted Camp 302’s past member, David Rowlands who, as a young naval aviator in 1952, was assigned to VF-781, at that time, attached to CAG 102 (Carrier Air Group) aboard the USS Oriskany. This is Part Two of David’s story. In the early 1950’s, America fought with other United Nations allies in what has been considered a police action in that far-off conflict on the Asian peninsula of Korea that could be cold and forbidding. The purpose, to keep the North Koreans from overrunning their neighbors in the South.

Carey Tilley, the original historian on this project, laid the groundwork, defined the scope, and prepared the research questions. The University of West Florida’s Special Collections Department was especially helpful in providing access to the papers in the Panton, Leslie & Co. Collection. The state of Georgia’s GALILEO project was crucial in providing access and leads to numerous relevant historical documents. Likewise, Google and its associated websites, Google Books and Google Earth, are tremendous tools for the modern researcher and should be acknowledged. Dr. Georgina DeWeese of the University of West Georgia deserves special recognition for establishing a definitive date of construction for the John Ross House through dendrochronology. Dr. Sarah Hill provided information on Cantonment Wool and has been a staunch advocate and supporter in all my research-related endeavors, for which I am extremely grateful.

TNothing particularly interesting about the old familiar cry, but when, on a bright April day in 1862, the train man sang out: "Big Shanty, twenty minutes for breakfast," the hearts of a score of brave men beat faster, as they knew the hour had come for the beginning of one of the grandest ex- ploits in history. The men, from their dress, were citizens, and had boarded the northbound train at Marietta, a pretty little Georgia town twenty miles north of Atlanta. They paid their fares to different points, and from the conversation one would sup- pose that they were refugees from the Yankees, but in reality they were disguised soldiers of the United States Army under command of General Mitchell, then in middle Tennessee, bound south. They were volunteers to do a dangerous work, and were to get through the country as best they could to Marietta, then board a train bound for Chattanooga, and, at Big Shanty, seven miles away, JAS.

    The Andrews Raid” Historical Marker, Located in Historic Downtown Kennesaw

    Jeff Kurtz The following paper was prepared under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Dickey at Kennesaw State University for an Introduction to Public History course. “The Andrews Raid” historical marker, located in historic downtown Kennesaw, Georgia, is dedicated to a daring US army mission, intended to sabotage the Confederate supply lines during the American Civil War. The plan was conceived by a civilian from Kentucky named James Andrews. After previously being denied by General Don Carlos Buell, commander of the Army of the Ohio, Andrews’s plan was approved by General Ormsby MacKnight Mitchell, commander of the Third Division. Andrews approached General Mitchell near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and was able to convince him that the mission would require minimal investment of personnel and money. 22 soldiers, along with Andrews and one other civilian, set out on foot, disguised in civilian clothing to make their way as best as they could in small groups to Marietta, just north of Atlanta. 1 Of the 24 men, twenty remained and were on the train when it arrived at the Big Shanty Depot on April 12, 1862, in what is now Kennesaw, Georgia. Two US soldiers were forced to enlist in the Confederate Army along the way to avoid suspicion and capture. Two more soldiers made it to Marietta but did not awaken in time to board the train to Big Shanty. When the train stopped at Big Shanty, the passengers and crew exited to eat breakfast in the Lacy Hotel. While they were eating, the twenty raiders unhooked all but the first three cars and sped away with the locomotive, the General.
