This was brought home to the American people when in the War Of 1812, they found themselves opposed by heavy artillery in the hand8 of seasoned troops, both of which we lacked. The first graduate of West Point Military Academy, General Joseph Swift determined that it would not happen again. He was able to en- list the financial backing of Gouverneur Kemble, willram Kemble and others. In 1818 they organized the West Point Foundry with kstablishments at Cold Spring and New York City. It was necessary to "bootleg" skilled labor out of Europe by way of Ireland. They were able to evade ship pursuit. Their first government demonstration of heavy cannon firing caused some of the cannon to burst. But they were ablt to prove the fault was not in the cannon but In the faulty ammunitiol So, this Foqndry along with three other foundries were subsidized by the government. Success followed their enterprise until it was said,"there was no other foundry like it in America". Prom 50 to 100 heavy ordnance were made each year with the accompanying ammhition. They branched out. Stoves were just becoming popular. Iron pipe replaced wood for water mains in New York and Boston. Machinery for making sugar in South America and the Southern States was in demand. Engines for steamboats and railroads were made. The famous "DeWitt Clinton" railroad engine was built in 1831.

Y.: Sir: Pursuant to the provisions of the law of Congress, " establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," I have the honor to submit the following REPORT: The organized portion of the militia of the State has, during the past year, made marked improvement in discipline and military information. l When compared with its condition during and prior to the year 1857, it is certainly entitled to much praise for its present attitude, and for the evidences of zeal which pervades its ranks. Notwithstanding that the relief which the present defective law affords has always been greatly inadequate to meet the heavy pecuniary demands upon the force, and that the general regulations have recently largely increased these demands, the militia has passed through the trying y'ear of 1858 with honor and credit. To one interested in the development of our militia, and aware of the additional bur~hens in time and money which these regulations have heaped upon it, this intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying. betokening as it does a degree of military ardor throughout the State, hopeful in the extreme.

    List of Men that worked on the Fortifications at Mayfield, Kentucky August 17 to September 13, 1864 Transcribed and Names Identified by Dieter C. Ullrich Author's Note On the night of August 11, 1864, 1,500 Union infantry, cavalry and artillery entered and occupied the town of Mayfield, Kentucky. The troops had departed Paducah two days earlier and marched the twenty-six miles under the command of Brigadier General Eleazer A. Paine. Mayfield had been the center of the partisan movement in the Jackson Purchase and the nucleus of guerrilla activities in the region since the conflict between the States began. Paine, who was the commander of the District of Western Kentucky and headquartered at Paducah · since July 19, 1864, ordered the 134th and 136th Illinois Infantry Regiments along with a company of the 3rd Illinois Cavalry Regiment and a detachment of the 8th United States Colored Heavy Artillery to secure the town and stabilize the region. On the morning August 12, Paine selected the residence of John Eaker, a prominent Southern sympathizer and former Kentucky state legislator, to serve as post headquarters. He next ordered that a Well be sunk near the Graves County Courthouse, the railroad between Paducah and Mayfield be repaired and that a stockade be built around the court square. Paine then authorized Colonel Waters w_. McChesney, regimental commander of 134th Illinois Infantry, to seize the businesses and homes of outspoken Southern sympathizers for military use and 73 to house troops within the city. By the evening 12th, Union troops had moved into every churc hotel and tobacco warehouse in Mayfield.

  • An Analysis of Communicative Strategies Employed by the President of the United States in Times of Domestic and International C
    An analysis of communicative strategies employed by the President of the United States in times of domestic and international crisis between 1933 and 2001; with particular focus on literary and linguistic devices used in presidential rhetoric. Aidan O’Connor - Joint Honours American Studies & English Q43128 (40 Credit Dissertation) Dissertation Tutor: Professor Thomas Allcock School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies Abstract. This study examines the evolution of crisis rhetoric employed by the President of United States between 1933 and 2001. Transcripts of public speech from former Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson and George W. Bush are subjected to literary and linguistic analysis. Combined with intellectual and contextual references, this information determines how and why crisis rhetoric has evolved across the Great Depression, the Empire of Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor, violent domestic civil rights demonstrations and al-Qaeda’s 9/11 terrorist attacks. The first chapter scrutinises Roosevelt’s ‘Fireside Chat’ responses to the nation’s economic depression and Empire of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The second chapter examines Johnson’s influence on the campaign for civil rights that took place predominantly during the 1960s, specifically his 1965 “The America Promise” speech. The third chapter inspects Bush’s televised responses to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Literary and linguistic devices in these speech transcripts, including narrative voice, figurative language and cultural allusions, help understand the distinct forms of each President’s crisis rhetoric. Frequent comparisons between the oratory styles of Roosevelt, Johnson and Bush suggest crisis rhetoric’s basic function has changed.
