    SaltpeterMiningand the Civil War inJackson County, Alabama by Marion O. Smith Saltpeter Mining and the Civil War in Jackson County, Alabama Marion O. Smith Printed by Byron's Graphic Arts, Maryville, Tennessee June, 1990 FRONT COVER Saltpeter vat cast inTumbling Rock Cave VOLUME 24, NUMBER 2, JOURNAL OF SPELEAN HISTORY, APRIL-JUNE, 1990 THE NEED FOR SALTPETER The formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861 soon led to a bloody Civil War which created an urgency for all types of munitions. One of the South's most crucial necessities was to find an adequate supply for the ingredients of gunpowder: sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter. The first two were not much of a challenge. Large amounts of sulphur were stored in Louisiana, originally for use in refining sugar, and pyrites could be roasted. Trees for charcoal, "the willow, dogwood, and alder," were plenti­ ful. Saltpeter (calcium nitrate converted to potassium nitrate) was the major concern. Although some state governments had various amounts of powder on hand, and more was acquired when Federal forts and arsenals were seized, the total was far from adequate. 1 Consequent ly, there were efforts by local, state, and the Confederate governments to insure that there was a sufficient supply of powder and its components. One decision was to buy saltpeter and powder in Europe and ship it through the recently declared Federal naval blockade. Another was to re­ vive saltpeter m~n~ng in the Appalachian caves of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, which had been largely neglected since the War of 1812, and to encourage mining in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

  • A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity Across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama
    DECEMBER 2018 L Y Z A A N D K N U P P 4261 A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama ANTHONY W. LYZA AND KEVIN R. KNUPP Department of Atmospheric Science, Severe Weather Institute–Radar and Lightning Laboratories, Downloaded from http://journals.ametsoc.org/mwr/article-pdf/146/12/4261/4367919/mwr-d-18-0300_1.pdf by NOAA Central Library user on 29 July 2020 University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, Alabama (Manuscript received 23 August 2018, in final form 5 October 2018) ABSTRACT The effects of terrain on tornadoes are poorly understood. Efforts to understand terrain effects on tornadoes have been limited in scope, typically examining a small number of cases with limited observa- tions or idealized numerical simulations. This study evaluates an apparent tornado activity maximum across the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateaus of northeastern Alabama. These plateaus, separated by the narrow Wills Valley, span ;5000 km2 and were impacted by 79 tornadoes from 1992 to 2016. This area represents a relative regional statistical maximum in tornadogenesis, with a particular tendency for tornadogenesis on the northwestern side of Sand Mountain. This exploratory paper investigates storm behavior and possible physical explanations for this density of tornadogenesis events and tornadoes. Long-term surface observation datasets indicate that surface winds tend to be stronger and more backed atop Sand Mountain than over the adjacent Tennessee Valley, potentially indicative of changes in the low-level wind profile supportive to storm rotation. The surface data additionally indicate potentially lower lifting condensation levels over the plateaus versus the adjacent valleys, an attribute previously shown to be favorable for tornadogenesis.

  • 1987 (Text Version)
    VOLUME TWO, NUMBER ONE APRIL 1987 LIFE ON THE TENNESSEE COUNTY FLOURISHED DURING STEAMBOAT ERA It was considered the pride of the Tennessee River Navigation Company and The Chattanooga Times announced the news in December of 1910. The‐steamboat JOHN A PATTEN, 300-ton capacity, built for freight haul with first-class passenger accommodations, had burned to the water line while docked at Bridgeport. This was the same JOHN A PATTEN which only a few years before had triumphed in what is perhaps the most famous boat‐ race in Tennessee River history. The PATTEN'S rival was a powerful tow‑ boat named the PARKER. It was a race that symbolized the old versus the new on the river. The PATTEN, a graceful, elegantly crafted vessel from the past and the PARKER, a practical snub‐ nosed towboat. The boats raced downriver from Chattanooga, with the PARKER moving ahead at Williams Island. At this point, according to historian Donald Davidson, the PARKER'S engineer, Jess Allison, stood at the door of the engine room and gestured tauntingly with a rope, offering a tow to the PATTEN. But then river lore has it, the PARKER'S engine blew, propelling Allison from the engine room and into the water, where he was plucked unceremoniously by crewmembers. The PATTEN sailed on to victory, only to be destroyed at Bridgeport by a coal‑ tar caused fire. By this time, the glory days of the great steamboats were numbered. They would continue to ply the rivers, but their era was coming to an end. ‘ Jackson County was very much a part of the steamboat days on the Tennessee.
