Kyle Childress EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 THE FLOW OF THE NECHES By Francis Edward Ahernethy Deep East Texas, the real East Texas, lies bctween the Trinity River and the Sabine. Some of East Texas might splash across these rivers onto Madison County in the west and Louisiana in the east, but the heart of it is that red-land, pine-forest region between those two river boundaries. And flowing through the heart of East Texas is the Neches River and all the smaller waters that pay it homage and tribute: the Angelina and the Attoyac - LaNana Creek and Wolf Creek and Village Creek - Pine Island and Little Gray's bayous - Rose Lake Drain, Cow Pen Branch, Walnut Run, Anderson Gulley, Sand Slough, They all gi vc their all to the big Neches that gi ves its all back to the occans of the world. The Flow of the Neches is rich and red and sometimes so muddy that a Cajun could plant rice and raise a crop. Sometimes when the cicada calls, in the dryness of late summer and early fall, the water almost clears, running quiet and blue-green; and the Kentucky bass lie on the slow side of a down log and flash out at passing spot-tails and Hawaiian Wigglers. At all times the bream socialize in the brush piles, the drum croak at dusk in the deep bends. and big ops and blues cruise the riverbed, fattening on crawfish. There are places in it~ northern beginnings where the river meanders through pastures and a smaJI boy could hop across it. Farther down it stops to rest in ponds and lakes. Then it spills down a steep slope in Cherokee County, cutting a trench so narrow that the water shoots through a tunnel of cut banks and oak trees that shake hands and hug each other while the river passes beneath. Farther south the river bottoms widen out and huge gum and pin oaks and white oaks join their crowns together and shade out all growth below. In some places you can sec several hundred yards through the bottoms, and the waters tlow lhrough on the big rises to feed the roots of the old giants and fill the ox. bows. At the big bend at Hooks's camp, cypress trees line the banks and cover the little islands, and knees poke up to get a little sun and air, Upriver, if you hit the backwater in ApriL and the river rise is just right, you can float in on a surface of red where the mayhaws cover the water as far as you can see. And you can seine enough mayhaws in one haul to make two years ofjelly. The Attoyac joins the Angclina, and they both run down below Bevilport to meet the Neches at Dam B in Tyler County. After a brief rest. the Neches moves southward, making long, white-sandy beaches through the Big Thicket National Preserve to the Golden Triangle, leaving behind lakes and sand bars and old men sitting on the bank watching it all flow by. The Neches gets big and slow and brackish after it tlows under 1-10 at Beaumont.

U.S. Coast Guard Photo, Courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command By Michael Kern Program Assistant, National History Day 1 “The point was that we on the scene knew for sure that we could substitute machines for lives and that if we could plague and smother the enemy with an unbearable weight of machinery in the months to follow, hundreds of thousands of our young men whose expectancy of survival would otherwise have been small could someday walk again through their own front doors.” - Ernie Pyle, Brave Men 2 What is National History Day? National History Day is a non-profit organization which promotes history education for secondary and elementary education students. The program has grown into a national program since its humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio in 1974. Today over half a million students participate in National History Day each year, encouraged by thousands of dedicated teachers. Students select a historical topic related to a theme chosen each year. They conduct primary and secondary research on their chosen topic through libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and interviews. Students analyze and interpret their sources before presenting their work in original papers, exhibits, documentaries, websites, or performances. Students enter their projects in contests held each spring at the local, state, and national level where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. The program culminates in the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest, held on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park each June.

  • Marblehead in World War II, D-Day by Sean Casey
    Draft Text © Sean M. Casey, not to be used without author’s consent Chapter 19: Overlord June 5-6, 1944 in Europe Yankees of the 116th In late 1940 President Roosevelt had activated all of the National Guard units in the country and brouGht them into the United States Army. These units served as the foundation upon which the war-size army would be built. Many of the units – of various sizes and shapes -- had a linaGe, and could trace their oriGins to state militia units from earlier wars. As units were brouGht into the army, and as the army Grew and orGanized itself in 1941 and 1942, the once-National Guard units were auGmented by draftees to brinG the units to full strenGth. Thus did William Haley find himself a member of the “Essex Troop” of the former New Jersey National Guard; and Daniel Lord found himself training alongside midwesterners as a member of the 84th Infantry Division, made up from parts of the Indiana and Illinois National Guard. But perhaps the quirkiest example of this phenomena is how five Marbleheaders – Yankees all – found themselves assiGned to the 116th Infantry ReGiment1 of the 29th Infantry Division.2 The 116th had been part of the Virginia National Guard, and 82 years before had been Stonewall Jackson’s BriGade in the Confederate Army. The five were: Ralph Messervey, Bill Hawkes, the Boggis Brothers, Porter and Clifford, and their cousin, Willard Fader. Ralph Messervey was 27 when he was drafted in early 1942. Stocky, with red hair, and an outgoing personality, he was known as “Freckles” to his friends and family.

In March 1864, a well-equipped Federal expeditionary force of over 30,000 troops was assembled in southeast Louisiana to ascend the Red River and seize Shrevesport. The joint army-navy BATTLE OF operation, including a flotilla of gunboats commanded by Navy Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter, was placed under the overall command of Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks. Subordinate officers, MANSFIELD as well as Bank’s superiors far away in Washington DC, had little April 8, 1864 confidence in his abilities. His high rank was due to political connections, and he had no formal military training, which was quite evident in a lackluster performance up to this point. After Federal forces gained control of the Mississippi River There were other troubling problems from the start. Units were with the capture of Vicksburg in July 1863, the Confederacy drawn from four separate corps, who were unfamiliar at working was effectively split in two.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
