TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

This approach uses a case study to delve deeply into understanding the subtle, philosophical nature of Clausewitz’s trinity. The article is serialized into two parts; the first dis- cusses each of the trinity’s elements. The second part applies each trini- tarian element to the Russian campaign. PART ONE Though he wrote his seminal work On War almost 200 years ago, Carl von Clausewitz’s intellectual achievements still dominate the study of warfare across the globe. One of Clausewitz’s theoretical insights in particular remains especially relevant at the beginning of the 21st century. Clausewitz developed a subtle, philosophical understanding of the nature of war as a human phenome- non articulated in his concept commonly called the Clausewitzian Trinity. This essay approaches the tripartite nature of war with a largely philo- sophical perspective: It will examine each trinitarian element individually as Clausewitz characterized those elements. Next, this article will analyze each element of the trinity as it is expressed in Napoleon’s Russian cam- paign of 1812. By viewing the tripartite definition of the nature of war through the lens of a historical campaign, historians and military thinkers will achieve a more comprehensive, holistic understanding of the trinity.
