  • The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
    THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

  • The Ire I M R Rtl 8L Tr 0
    The ire I m r rtl 8l tr 0 Lieutenant Cabnet ary B. Griffin “War is the redm of chance. No other human activity gives it greater scope: no other has such incessant and varied dealings with this intruder. Chance makes. everything more uncertain and interferes with the whole course of events.” So wrote Karl von CIausewitz in his clas.sie, On WQ~. This inherent uncertainty in war, when combined with exertion, danger, and chance, produces an ever- present friction. The commander’s role throughout military ?&story has been to reduce the uncertainties of war for his own side and increase them for his enemy. Notwithstanding great advances in the arts and sciences of command and control, the best commanders have traditionally used trusted subordinates as extensions of their own minds as a way of penetrating the fog of war. This technique has come to be called the “directed telescope.‘” The Directed TeiescQpe: A ~~~~~~~om~~Element orf .E:fectiue Command, by Lieutenant Colonel Gary I3 Griffin, was first pubhsbed by the Combat Studies Institute in I985 a8 a CSL Report. Since its publication, 2Yz.eDirected TePescope has been widely read across our Army and quite a few others, amd as the Persian Gulf operatians began several months ago, the study took on a particular relevance and timeliness. Lientenant~ Colonel Griffin examines the historic rote played by liaison officers, aides-de-camp, and staff observers as extensions of the commander. The study focuses on the relationship between several great commanders and their liaison of&ens, as well as the systems, techniques, and organizations they employed.

From 1838 to 1893, the Church in the old Indian Territory was committed to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, first of the Missionary Bishop of the Southwest, and later of the Bishop of Arkansas. The General Convention of the Church which convened at Philadelphia on August 19, 1835, created the Missionary District of the Southwest, which embraced the States of Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Republic of Texas. The Indian Territory, embracing what is today the State of Oklahoma, save the panhandle, and which had been created by a recent Act of Congress, was also included within this district. The Rev. Leonidas Polk,1 the young rector of St. Peter's Church at Columbia, Tennessee, was consecrated the first Missionary Bishop of the newly created district, on December 9, 1838, at Cincinnati, and served as such until October 16, 1841, when he became the initial Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana.

Franc Brown, Junior Warden of the Parish laboured (at times against great odds) for Quincy Marshall O'Keefe Jesus Christ and the advancement of His J. Keats Owlett -Kingdom, this booklet is gratefully dedicated. Edith O'Keefe Susong Marie L. Williams Emmett N. Williams 2 3 PREFACE St. James' Parish, then known as "Greeneville Parish, Greene Co.," was admitted to the Convention of the Diocese of Tennessee in 1848. A small group of faithful people had been organized in their labours for the ST. JAM ES' EPISCOPAL CHURCH Kingdom of Christ in Greeneville since 1842, but it was only through occa­ sional visiting priests that they had received the Services and Blessings of the Church during those six years. G·R EENE VILL E TENNESSEE The exact month and day that the building of the church commenced is not known, but it is certain that it was either during late 1848 or early 1849. The contract copied in the appendix of this booklet between the 1850 • 1950 builder and the first vestry was dated December 11, 1849, but this was an "Article to finish Episcopal Church." No reference is made therein to indicate when the building had been started nor how much it lacked being completed at that time. We are certain that the work was completed during the first half.
