Berent Collection, 1862­1988 Catalog number: MS164 Accession number: None Physical Characteristics: 8 document cases Language(s): English Creator(s): Irwin M. Berent SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection is composed of materials pertaining to the crew and officers who served aboard USS Monitor and CSS Virginia as well as their descendents. Irwin Berent compiled and generated these materials between 1978 and 1988. This collection is the result of his work on two different, but overlapping groups of projects: the first centers on the crew and officers of said vessels; the second concentrates on their descendents. The first group of projects concerns Berent’s research for biographical works he published on the crew and officers of Monitor and Virginia. Perhaps the most notable among these is Crewmen of the USS Monitor: A Biographical Directory published in 1982. Materials include photocopies of affidavits, clippings, congressional reports, correspondence, death certificates, depositions, marriage certificates, medical records, military records, notes, and pension records from the 1860s through the 1920s that Berent obtained from the United States National Archives and Records Administration. Related notes and correspondence as well as edited and unedited copies of manuscripts are also included. The second group of projects concerns Berent’s work locating descendents of the crew and officers of Monitor and Virginia, his communication with them, and subsequent meetings and events.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. 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.

  • VOL. L, NO. 6 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 July 2010
    VOL. L, NO. 6 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 July 2010 Last month the Michigan Regimental lost a valued member as Daniel Basinski passed away at the age of ninety-eight. Daniel was a graduate of Emory University and during his working years, he had been a bio-chemist for Ford Hospital. Our condolences go out to his family. The Stuart Horse Artillery produced an amazing array of leaders, spearheaded by its first commander John Pelham. Others, lesser known, may have exacted records nearly as equal. Robert Beckham, Roger Preston Chew, James Breathed, James Franklin Hart, Philip Preston Johnston, William McGregor, Mathis Winston Henry, Marcellus Moorman—names that do not literally jump out to the average Civil War reader, but names that were godlike to the men who served under them. James Breathed is a prime example of such heroics. Neither a born soldier nor a trained one, Breathed, a Marylander by birth, was a 22-year-old physician practicing in Missouri when the war broke out. Desiring to serve the Confederacy, he boarded a train for the East to offer his services. By chance Breathed sat next to an officer, Jeb Stuart, who also was on his way to Richmond. A quick friendship developed and Stuart convinced the young doctor to join the 1st Virginia Cavalry. Within a few months Stuart organized the famous Horse Artillery. Indications are that James Breathed was Jeb’s first choice to lead the illustrious unit, even before John Pelham. Stuart’s confidence in Breathed would show up numerous times in the war.
