Bowler Department of History Duke University Date:___________________ Approved: ______________________________ William Reddy, Supervisor ______________________________ Malachi Hacohen ______________________________ Akram Khater ______________________________ Donald Reid ______________________________ Alex Roland An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright 2011 by K.A. Bowler Abstract This dissertation revises influential scholarship on nineteenth-century French colonial policy in Algeria. After French troops conquered Algeria in 1830, French civilian and military administrations competed for control. There were two major points of conflict between the civilian and military administrative branches: the extent to which the French should adopt or tolerate pre-existing political and social norms; and, most important, the process by which Europeans acquired and settled the land belonging to the indigenous population. In general, the military, especially the Arab Bureau, advocated a tolerance for and acceptance of local legal and social customs and supported a slow process of European colonization.

  • Civil War Records: Town of Oyster Bay
    Civil War Records: Town of Oyster Bay Private Jeremiah K. Davis of Locust Valley, one of 124 men from the Town of Oyster Bay who enlisted into the Harris Light Cavalry. See inside for a profile of the Harris Light Cavalry. ¡ ¢ £ © ¡ § £ ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ A Message from Town Clerk STEVEN L. LABRIOLA Dear Genealogy Enthusiast, The American Civil War (1861-65) was a defining event in our country’s history. The entire future of the United States rested on its outcome. Its impact was felt in every community in every state, including the Town of Oyster Bay. Town Supervisor George S. Downing’s son, Daniel, was killed at Aldie, Virginia. It was the first time in our nation’s history that conscription, or draft, of men into the military was employed. Of the Town’s total population of around 8,000, 600 men saw active duty. This guide is an important tool for genealogists searching for male ancestors who lived in Oyster Bay during the Civil War. It contains both the 1862 and 1864 enrollment lists. The enrollment includes the name, age and occupation of all men between the ages of 18 and 45. The 1862 enrollment has a “remarks” section that includes information about enlistment, unit or exemption, while the 1864 enrollment has a “notes” section that includes status, such as prior military service, exemption or “Alien.” The guide also contains a list compiled in 1865 after the war listing the names of those who served, along with their date and place of birth, date enlisted, rank, place of enlistment, bonus received, occupation, names of parents, date and place of discharge, and, in some instances, information regarding such things as imprisonment, cause of death, promotions, etc.

AND TEN MAPS AND PLANS LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1898 THE AUTHOR DEDICATES THIS VOLUME TO MR. J. O'B. SAUNDERS PROPRIETOR OF "THE ENGLISHMAN" CALCUTTA AS A SMALL RETURN FOR THE GREAT KINDNESS HE HAS SHOWN HIM 3015657 PREFACE FROM the way the public Press has called for ex- planation upon certain points connected with the campaign, it has appeared to me that the public barely appreciate what was asked of their army when it was sent to invade Afridi and Orakzai Tirah. Having been present at the Campaign, I would that my readers should start from as fair a standpoint as possible, for I feel sure that, after really grasping the circumstances of the campaign, they will appre- ciate the reasons why I have abstained from criticism. Be it understood that casualties must occur, and in a mountainous country like the Afridi the casualties must be in proportion to the efficiency of the trans- port. The Government of India chose to equip the force with an inefficient transport, and the General Officers could only do their best with what was served out to them. Those who have no knowledge of frontier warfare can form but the faintest conception of the adverse conditions under which the campaign took place, and it would be well for the public in general to refrain from forming any judgment on the matter till the whole question has been properly threshed viii PREFACE out.

    The Second Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry. 163 THE SECOND TEOOP PHILADELPHIA CITY CAVALEY. BY W. A. NEWMAN DORLAND, A.M., M.D., F.A.C.S. Major, Medical Corps, U. S. Army; formerly First Lieutenant and Surgeon of the Troop (April 1, 1898-November 10, 1903.) [For references see pp. 182-191.] (Continued from page 94.) It is not known how long the Second Troop had a civil as well as military association—probably from its very incipiency—but from the following notice which is signed by the First Sergeant as Secretary, and not by his military title, it is evident that at this early period of the Nineteenth Century such an organization ex- isted:478 "The Second City Troop of Cavalry, will meet this evening, at 7 o'clock at Hardy's Inn.474 Punctual atten- dance is requested. "PHILIP STEIN, Sec. "August 4, 1803." The summer exodus from the city which subsequently became so universal among the wealthier classes, was not in vogue at this time; consequently the members of the various military organizations were readily acces- sible, and midsummer meetings were not uncommon. What the object of the present meeting was is not known, but it is interesting to note that a few days later a similar notice appeared in the daily papers announc- ing a meeting of the sister organization, the First City Troop, to elect a successor to the late Captain Dunlap.

Signature………………………………………………………… Date……………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract The mechanization of British Cavalry regiments took place between the two World Wars and on into 1942. This thesis describes the process by which horsed cavalrymen were re-trained in armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) and the experiences of some of the regiments managing this change. Extensive use has been made of the oral testimonies of many of the soldiers involved, a number of whom are still living, as well as regimental and War Office archives. The reason given for the delay in cavalry mechanization, cited in some military histories, much influenced by Sir Basil Liddell Hart, was resistance from the cavalry to parting from their horses.
