  • The Cavalry at Cowpens: Thinking Inside the Box by Daniel Murphy
    The Cavalry at Cowpens: Thinking Inside the Box By Daniel Murphy Recently I was asked to be the cavalry coordinator for the 225th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Cowpens. I considered this an honor as for years Cowpens had always held a special significance for me; it was a turning point in the American Revolution, and one that was heavily influenced by the actions of the cavalry. And while I was thinking about how my fellow reenactors and I might carry out the mounted scenario, I began to see a number of wrinkles in the different theories regarding Lieutenant-Colonel William Washington and how he led the American cavalry. No reenactment can ever duplicate the exact movements of a battle and that was never my intent. But there were so many conflicting cavalry assesments in the otherwise excellent works on the battle that I started pouring over primary accounts of veterans, attempting to think “inside the box” and come up with a better understanding of what happened. Now before we go any further let me state right here that I do not hold a candle to the horsemen that took that field 225 years ago! They lived and fought from the saddle 24/7 where I’m lucky to just ride once or twice a week and make an occasional fox hunt or reenactment. Beyond fencing classes I have no formal arms training whatsoever. I personally have never seen modern combat and, like other reenanctors, the only thing I really know about 18th century warfare I either read in a book, heard around a campfire or attempted to recreate at an event.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction

Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.

OPEN ACCESS: MCJA Book Reviews Volume 40, 2015 From These Honored Dead: Historical Archaeology of the American Civil War Clarence R. Geier, Douglas S. Scott, and Lawrence E. Babits, Editors. 2014. University Press of Florida, Gaines- ville, Florida. viii+322 pp., 64 figures, 10 tables, 1 appendix, references, index. $39.95 (cloth). Reviewed by Jonathan E. Reyman, Curator of Anthropology, Illinois State Museum, Springfield. Some book covers grab the reader’s attention by the title or a striking graphic; this book cover does both. As the editors cite, the first part of the title—from these honored dead—is taken from Lincoln’s Gettys- burg Address (p. 1). The cover photograph, uncredited but probably taken by Matthew Brady or Alexander Gardner (or another of Brady’s assistants), shows a limber with the dead horse still in harness and the remains of four soldiers, presumably artillerymen, in the foreground. It is a dark photograph, both in tone (the colors of old, dried blood) and content, and it brings to mind, at least for this reviewer, Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address with its phrase, “mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave.” If not in a grave, per se, the battlefield dead lying here, both animal and human, foreshadow much of the content of this book. Fourteen chapters cover battlefields, bivouac areas, camps, and forts and range over a dozen states and territories; alphabetically Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.

Recent studies in historic conflict archaeology have contributed to scholars’ understanding of military sites, specific battles, and sites of sieges and encampments. Archaeological excavations at 18th-century Fort Stanwix in Rome, New York have uncovered a rich assemblage that has facilitated the reconstruction of the fort; however, it is a careful analysis of the artifacts recovered during this process that can help scholars explore the daily lives of the inhabitants at the fort.

  • Pirate Articles and Their Society, 1660-1730
    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.
