Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

  • Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion
    Vol. 4 No. 1_____________________________________ ________________January – March 2007 Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion The oil on canvas painting, General Marion Inviting a British Officer to Share His Meal, by Eutaw Springs artist John Blake White (1781 - 1859), memorializes the “Swamp Fox” sharing his sweet potato dinner with a British officer reported by “Parson” Mason Locke Weems in his highly romanticized The Life of General Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer, in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia. This painting was presented to the United States Senate in 1899. According to the artist’s son, Octavius A. White: “the figure of Marion is a portrait from memory, as my father, when a boy, knew him well. Marion’s farm adjoined the plantation of my grandfather.” If this is true, this is the closest any artistic representation of Marion is to the artist having painted a contemporaneous image of the partisan. For more information on this painting, see the catalogue write-up at http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/artifact/Painting_33_00002.htm. For recent “news” on Oscar Marion, see http://fusilier.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/oscar-marion-is-anonymous-no-longer. The Francis Marion Trail Commission will seek out the documentation and archaeology to sort the myth from the man and to accurately depict the story of the Revolution in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina on those hallowed grounds. 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes Academicians have many academic journals in which to publish articles, but the lay writers are much more limited.

  • Antietam Visitor Access and Circulation Plan Environmental Assessment, July 2018
    Antietam National Battlefield National Park Service Maryland U.S. Department of the Interior VISITOR ACCESS AND CIRCULATION PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT July 2018 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Visitor Access and Circulation Plan (the plan) and environmental assessment has been prepared to evaluate the implementation of strategies to improve visitor access and circulation at Antietam National Battlefield (the Battlefield) to enhance visitor understanding about the historic events of the battle and its legacy. The Battlefield’s purpose is to preserve, protect, restore, and interpret for the benefit of the public the resources associated with the Battle of Antietam and its legacy. This plan also serves as an amendment to the 1992 Antietam National Battlefield General Management Plan; taking into account newly acquired lands not previously considered in the general management plan and evolving management decisions regarding the visitor center and several Battlefield tour roads. The environmental assessment has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended; regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1500–1508); NPS Director’s Order 12: Conservation Planning, Environmental Impact Analysis, and Decision-making; and the NPS NEPA Handbook (NPS 2015). In a separate, yet parallel process, the plan is also being developed in accordance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Purpose and Need for the Action The purpose of this proposal is to develop a comprehensive plan that seeks to improve visitor access to, and circulation within, the Battlefield in order to enhance visitor experience and increase opportunities to connect with Battlefield resources.
