  • From the Brigade Commander: Barry Arnold
    November 2019 – Fall Campaign 42 Second meeting- November 05, 2019 From the Brigade Commander: Barry Arnold We had a really good meeting for the October session of the Civil War Round Table. If you miss our meeting please, take time out and join us. You will learn a lot about the civil war and our past. Our speaker was Eric Buckland, a retired LT. COL. Of the U.S. Army. He spoke to us on his book “Mosby’s Leadership”. He explained the life of Col. John S. Mosby from boyhood up to and through the civil war and beyond the war when he died in 1916. In my opinion it was well done and gave me great insight on the man. Our next meeting is on November 5th, 2019. We will have Richard Lewis, an author and publisher of articles in the Civil War Times and Hallowed Ground magazines. He will speak on “Cloaked in Mystery” The curious case of the confederate coat. I hope to see you all there that night. I want to bring to your attention information on a news article that was written on the web. In the news article, a Virginia judge blocked the City of Charlottesville’s effort to remove the Confederate statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The judge ruled to remove the Statue violated a state law protecting war memorials. In my opinion, removing Confederate statues is erasing history. History is the roadmap to the future. Without history, we are lost. For all your college football fans that belong to our round table.

This is a living history festival organised by re-enactors for re-enactors and is similar on a smaller scale to the multi period event at Spetchley. There was excellent weather on the Saturday and even though cloudy on the Sunday the rain held off until 4.00pm when people were leaving so this ensured a pleasant weekend for everyone and ensured a good public turnout. There was a large Dark Age presence with many Vikings and Saxons present as well as a large Medieval contingent. Both the Confederate and Union Armies had commendable turnouts of approximate equal size but this was complimented by 4 artillery pieces which really added to the display and filled the arena as they were all manned. The ACWS were the headline act and were the last battle of the day in the arena. The battle on the Saturday was an excellent skirmish with the Confederates, supported by a lone artillery piece, attacking a larger Union force protecting 2 fast firing artillery pieces.

  • The American Civil War and Military Technological Change
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE DOCTORAL THESIS University of Tasmania Department of Political Science cloie` cvotae? Marc Bowles February 1991 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was born from an interest in the area but was brought to fruition under the encouragement of many individuals. I am especially indebted to Professor Harry G Gelber who provide invaluable supervision, and suggestions, while all the time nurturing a flagging student. To Janette Kahl, Andrew Sharman, Calvin Sharman (no relation), Peter O'Toole, the staff of the Central Defence Department (Canberra) Library, and the University of Tasmania Morris Miller Library, go my thanks for your patience and assistance. Obviously, despite all the support received, responsibility for the selection of the materials and the treatment of the topic is entirely my own. For the record as well, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or college and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously written or published by another person unless I have made acknowledgement in the text of this work. Marcus Bowles ABSTRACT Military technology change is a subject of enormous diversity and profound complexity. To reduce the topic to some ordered form the thesis discusses military technological changes in one period; the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. The thesis also contends that military technology cannot be studied in purely physical terms. Only in conjunction with environmental elements can we fully comprehend technical change. This will enable us to make sense of technology as both a technical entity constructed from existing scientific knowledge, and as a human activity interacting with the surrounding environment.

  • 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.
