  • War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013
    War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from June 18, 1812 through February 18, 1815, in Virginia, Maryland, along the Canadian border, the western frontier, the Gulf Coast, and through naval engagements in the Great Lakes and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the United States frustrations mounted over British maritime policies, the impressments of Americans into British naval service, the failure of the British to withdraw from American territory along the Great Lakes, their backing of Indians on the frontiers, and their unwillingness to sign commercial agreements favorable to the United States. Thus the United States declared war with Great Britain on June 18, 1812. It ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, although word of the treaty did not reach America until after the January 8, 1815 Battle of New Orleans. An estimated 70,000 Virginians served during the war. There were some 73 armed encounters with the British that took place in Virginia during the war, and Virginians actively fought in Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio and in naval engagements. The nation’s capitol, strategically located off the Chesapeake Bay, was a prime target for the British, and the coast of Virginia figured prominently in the Atlantic theatre of operations. The War of 1812 helped forge a national identity among the American states and laid the groundwork for a national system of homeland defense and a professional military. For Canadians it also forged a national identity, but as proud British subjects defending their homes against southern invaders.

  • The Ljubljana Gap
    the Ljubljana Gap T H I N K we have these Huns at the top of the toboggan slide and the full crash of the Russian offensive should put the skids under them.” So wrote a jubilant Marshall with uncharacteristic slanginess to President Roosevelt on June 14. He was still glowing after his visit to the American landing area in Normandy.1 Marshall, Arnold, and King had arrived over Scotland a few days earlier after an uneventful flight across the Atlantic, but heavy fog prevented their planes from landing at the intended destination, Prestwick. After an hour and a half of circling over the invisible airfield they were di- verted to Valley, an Air Transport Command base in the northwest tip of Wales, where no preparations had been made to receive them. Colonel McCarthy, sent over several days before to help make arrangements, had gone on to Prestwick with the controversial special train furnished by the Services of Supply commander, General Lee. McCarthy had passed on Marshall’s instructions that Lee was not to meet the party, since he un- doubtedly had more important things to do in the first days of the land- ings in Normandy. To McCarthy’s astonishment General Lee met the train, “booted, spurred, and replete with riding crop.” But fog had spoiled his welcome. The fussy General, whose initials, JCHL, were some- times interpreted as “John Court House Lee” or “Jesus Christ Himself Lee,” stood lonely at the Prestwick station waiting for the VIPs who did not appear. Bad weather, train delays, unforeseen changes in plans conspired in the first hours of arrival to remind the Chiefs of Staff that they, too, like ordi- nary soldiers, sailors, and airmen, could also “hurry up and wait.” When they finally landed at Valley, they found that the best course of action was to flag down the Irish Mail, a London-bound express.

U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, PA The Letort Papers In the early 18th century, James Letort, an explorer and fur trader, was instrumental in opening up the Cumberland Valley to settlement. By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over two centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American West, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) presents The Letort Papers. This series allows SSI to publish papers, retrospectives, speeches, or essays of interest to the defense academic community which may not correspond with our mainstream policy-oriented publications.

  • At the End of December 1776 the Enlistments Had Expired for Most Of
    MOSES HOUGH’S 12 MONTHS OF ACTIVE DUTY Moses Hough was born 6/16/1759 in Somerset County, NJ, near Neshanic Station and the Raritan River. He died 3/4/1836 in Spencer Co., KY. Moses volunteered during June of 1777, at age 17, for service in the New Jersey militia. He served 12 months on active duty and was not mustered out of service for nearly two years after entering. Moses spent the second year of his service irregularly, sometimes on duty and sometimes at home, but always under command of his officers. He never received a written discharge. Moses Hough served in a regiment under General Washington in one unit on the front near British lines in and about Brunswick, Morristown, Hackensack, South Amboy, Newark and Monmouth. While giving testimony in Taylorsville in 1832, he particularly remembered June 28, 1778, during the Battle of Monmouth, as being exceedingly hot and that he was marched (about 10 miles) to Hightstown the same evening after the battle, completing his 12 months of active duty. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War in 1775, it was thought the militias could handle most defense needs of the colonies. The Colonies didn’t like the idea of a large standing army. It was expected that the militias would fight like Continental regulars and be able to stand against the British forces. It turned out that the largely untrained militias couldn’t begin to fulfill all the expectations. Nevertheless, the New Jersey militia activities were a vital part of the war effort. Approximately 50,000 New Jersey males 16-50 years old were of military age in 1776.

    RICE UNIVERSITY YUGOSLAV-UNITED STATES RELATIONS, 1946-1947 STEMMING FROM THE SHOOTING OF U.S. PLANES OVER YUGOSLAVIA, AUGUST 9 AND 19, 1946 by Dorothy Elizabeth Wooldridge A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s signature: Houston, Texas May 1971 Abstract YUGOSLAV-UNITED STATES RELATIONS, 1946-1947 STEMMING FROM THE SHOOTING OF U.S. PLANES OVER YUGOSLAVIA, AUGUST 9 AND 19, 1946 Dorothy Elizabeth Wooldridge From 1945 to 1950, the era of the early cold war, most of the nations of the world were in one of two political groups: the pro-West headed by the United States, or the pro-East, headed by Soviet Union. One country which did not fall into this pattern, however, was Yugo¬ slavia. She wanted to break completely with Moscow and to establish her own brand of national Communism, thus enabling her leaders to steer an individualist course in world affairs. Yugoslavia sought not only to free her¬ self from Soviet domination but also to show her total opposition to the Western Allies, especially the United States. The latter part of this objective became a unique area of conflict in the cold war. In 1945 Yugoslavia offered stiff opposition to Italian boundary settlements proposed by the Council of Foreign Ministers. Yugoslavia claimed the area of the Istrian peninsula, including the city of Trieste, as rightfully hers. While the diplomats discussed potential settlements, Yugoslav and Allied troops coexisted uneasily on the peninsula. Tension between the U.S. and Yugoslavia rapidly reached a breaking point.
