CI^ARK, •,-'j-^j-rj,--:. j^rtrr.:f-'- H <^1 OR, MEMORIES OF FOUR YEARS SERVICE AVITH THE OGLETHORPES, OF AUGUSTA, GEORGIA BY WALTER A. CLARK, ORDERLY SERGEANT. AUGUSTA, GA Chronicle Printing Company. DEDICATION To the surviving members of the Oglethorpes, with whom I shared the dangers and hardships of soldier life and to the memory of those who fell on the firing line, or from ghostly cots in hospital Avards, with fevered lip and wasted forms, "drifted out on the unknown sea that rolls round all the Avorld," these memories are tenderly and afifectionatelv inscribed bv their old friend and comrade. PREFACE. For the gratification of my old comrades and in grate- hil memory of their constant kindness during all our years of comradeship these records have been written. The Avriter claims no special qualification for the task save as it may lie in the fact that no other survivor of the Company has so large a fund of material from which to draw for such a purpose. In addition to a war journal, whose entries cover all my four years service, nearly every letter Avritten by me from camp in those eventful years has been preserved. WHiatever lack, therefore, these pages may possess on other lines, they furnish at least a truth­ ful portrait of what I saw and felt as a soldier. It has beeen my purpose to picture the lights rather than the shadoAvs of our soldier life.

Education; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS Site Visits ABSTRACT The Civil War was perhaps the greatest turning point in U.S. history. The dual themes of slavery and power deeply divided the growing nation during the first half of the 19th century. The mission of the Civil War Preservation Trust (CWPT) is to preserve the significant Civil War battlefields by protecting the land and educating the public about the vital roles those battlefields played in directing the course of the nation's history. This 2-week CWPT curriculum is designed for students in grades 5,8, and 11. For each grade level, there are six sections: (1) "Disunion"; (2) "War"; (3) "Soldier Life"; (4) "Preservation";(5) Battlefield Field Trips"; and (6)"The War at Home." These sections are vital in using battlefield land as outdoor classrooms. The curriculum contains ideas for the classroom as well as ideas for interdisciplinary activities.

  • Julia Wilbur Diary, 1865
    Diary of Julia Wilbur, 1865 Originals at Haverford College, Quaker and Special Collections Transcriptions by volunteers at Alexandria Archaeology The transcribed pages that follow are from the diaries kept by Julia Wilbur, an abolitionist from Rochester, New York, who lived in Alexandria, Virginia, from October 1862 to February 1865. She moved to Washington, DC, where she lived until her death in 1895. This file contains entries from 1865. The diaries are in the form of packets of paper that she assembled and dated as she went along, approximately 4 by 7 inches. The diaries go from 1844 to 1873. (She also kept journals, which were smaller, pre-printed, leather-bound booklets, one per year through 1895.) In a cooperative effort between Haverford and Alexandria Archaeology, pages of the diaries were scanned in Summer 2013 (March 7, 1860, through the early 1870s). Alexandria Archeology volunteers transcribed from March 7, 1860, through July 3, 1866. Acknowledgments Thanks go to Ann Upton and Diana Peterson at Haverford, to Alexandria Archaeology staff, especially Ruth Reeder and Fran Bromberg, and to Friends of Alexandria Archaeology, the nonprofit that helped fund the scanning project. In addition, the following people volunteered their time to transcribe and/or proofread the diary entries: Lori Arbuckle, Gale Carter (and her students at East Chicago High School), Melissa Carter, Laci Chelette, Tom D’Amore, Christopher Goodwin, Jill Grinsted, Tom Gross, Janet Hughes, Maureen Lauran, Donna Martin, Wendy Miervaldis, Patty Morison, Mary Jane Nugent, Kim Ormiston, Trudy Pearson, Janet Penn, Mary Ray, Diane Riker, Kelly Rooney, Elizabeth Schneider, Cindy Slaton, Rachel Smith, Jeanne Springman, Paula Whitacre, Karen White, and Christina Wingate.

Historic shipwrecks within each of Wisconsin’s four Maritime Trails regions were evaluated for the number, condition, and variety of historic shipwreck sites. Analysis of known shipwrecks was given the greatest weight, with lesser weight given to probable shipwrecks based on historic records.
