  • “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3
    “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3 Timothy J. Orr On the morning of July 3, 1863, Corporal Eugene B. Kelleran, a soldier in Company I, 20th Maine Infantry, descended the slopes of Big Round Top, a rocky eminence where his regiment had spent the previous evening. Near dark on July 2, the fatigued Maine regiment scaled the wooded heights, drove off an enemy brigade, and took possession of the summit. As per standard procedure, the 20th Maine’s commander, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, deployed skirmishers to determine the layout of the Confederate line and to make certain that his regiment truly held the hill. Midway down the southwestern slope, Kelleran and his comrades collided with skirmishers from Colonel James Sheffield’s Alabama brigade. A short fight ensued, lasting only a few minutes. The Maine regiment lost Lieutenant Arad Linscott, who had seized an abandoned musket so he could get a shot at the gray-coats himself. A ball struck Linscott in the thigh, and he died several hours later at the Jacob Weikert farm.1 During this engagement, a Confederate skirmisher kneeling behind a rock took aim at Corporal Kelleran, who also lowered his own rifle and fired. Kelleran got off his shot, which passed through the Alabamian’s mouth and came out the back of his head. When the shooting subsided, Kelleran went to the blood-spattered boulder and noticed that the man’s hat had been left untouched by both the bullet and the resulting gore. Kelleran had long wanted a new hat, so he took this one from his fallen adversary.

  • Earl J. Hess, the Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth (Lawrence: University of Kansas Press, 2008)
    Earl J. Hess, The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth (Lawrence: University of Kansas Press, 2008). 288 pages + bibliography and index. ISBN# 0700616071. Hardcover $29.95. Carl C. Creason, Murray State University According to historian Earl J. Hess, the Stewart W. McClelland | 120 Chair in History at Lincoln Memorial University and author of numerous scholarly works, the American Civil War “was the first major war in which both sides were fully armed with rifle muskets” (p. 35).1 For Civil War military historians, Hess’s claim necessitates an accurate understanding of the rifle musket’s role in Civil War combat. As a result, The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth, Hess’s third publication by the University of Kansas Press, probes the effectiveness of the rifle musket on the Civil War battlefield. Hess’s thesis, however, challenges the standard interpretation of the Civil War rifle musket. According to Hess, historians assume that the use of the rifle musket largely contributed to the enormity of casualties during the war, limited the offensive utility of artillery and cavalry operations, resulted in the increased construction of field fortifications, and prolonged the conflict itself. For example, renowned Civil War historian James McPherson stated in Battle Cry of Freedom that: The transition from smoothbore to rifle had two main effects: it multiplied casualties; and it strengthened the tactical defensive…Time and again generals on both sides ordered close-order assaults in the traditional formation. With an effective range of three or four hundred yards, defenders firing rifles decimated these attacks.

    In the Shadow of the Moon 2007 PG 109 minutes David Sington and Christopher Riley's acclaimed documentary reveals the history of the Apollo space program through interviews with the brave astronauts who lived through a paradigm-shifting chapter in world history. Devoted to President John F. Kennedy's goal of sending a man to the moon, the NASA project pushed the envelope of what was humanly possible. But the program also experienced several failures, one of which resulted in tragedy. Man on Wire 2008 PG-13 94 minutes Philippe Petit captured the world's attention in 1974 when he successfully walked across a high wire between New York's Twin Towers. This Oscar winner for Best Documentary explores the preparations that went into the stunt as well as the event and its aftermath. Obsessed with the towers even before they were fully constructed, Petit sneaked into the buildings several times to determine the equipment he needed to accomplish his daring feat.

  • Vol II Part B Ch. 1 the Final Fifteen Months of Mcdougal's Involvement
    PART B THE RELATIONSHIP OF MADISON GUARANTY, CMS, JIM McDOUGAL, THE ROSE LAW FIRM, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AND WILLIAM J. CLINTON Chapter 1: The Final Fifteen Months of Jim McDougal's Involvement at Madison Guaranty (1985 to Summer 1986) I. INTRODUCTION This Chapter details evidence about the relationship between three individuals (Jim McDougal, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and William J. Clinton) and four entities (Capital Management Services, Whitewater Development Company, the Rose Law Firm, and Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan) in 1985 and 1986. First, both Jim McDougal and Mrs. Clinton had a direct relationship with Madison Guaranty. McDougal, the thrift's owner and operator, hired the Rose Law Firm ("Rose") where Mrs. Clinton was a partner. Mrs. Clinton performed legal services for Madison Guaranty including work before various state agencies operating under Governor Clinton. Second, McDougal, Mrs. Clinton, Madison Guaranty, and Rose were all connected to a real estate development called Castle Grande. McDougal purchased the land and buildings from Industrial Development Corporation ("IDC") by using the resources of Madison Guaranty and its subsidiary, Madison Financial Corporation. To evade regulatory limitations on the amount Madison Guaranty could invest in real estate transactions of its service corporation, McDougal arranged for some of the land and a sewer and water utility located thereon to be purchased by Seth Ward, Rose partner Webster Hubbell's father-in-law and a Madison Financial employee. Hubbell, Mrs. Clinton, and Rose provided legal services related to Madison Financial's purchase and development of the property, including conferences with "straw purchaser" Seth Ward. Portions of Castle Grande were sold to insiders (including Jim Guy Tucker) at fraudulently inflated prices so that Madison Financial could book a "profit." The Castle Grande transactions were scrutinized by federal thrift examiners, who 98 concluded that the transactions rendered Madison Guaranty insolvent.
