Life in the earliest civilizations included festivals involving sports contests. Following the death of Alexander the Great, sports became a professional entertainment for Greek spectators who would pay entrance fees to watch the contests.2 Undoubtedly, the spectators who filled the tiered stadia suffered injuries. A runaway chariot or wayward spear thrown in the Roman Coliseum likely impaled an onlooker sitting on the platforms (called spectacula, based on their similarity to the deck of the ship and the basis for the English word "spectator").

  • Remembering the Civil War
    Number 100 / Summer 011 MHS Miscellany REMEMBERING THE CIVIL WAR Over the course of little more than a week in April 1861, now almost exactly 150 years ago, one event after another seemed to tug the nation inevitably into war: South Carolina troops clashed with the federal forces in Fort Sumter, a newly inaugurated president declared a state of insurrection and called for a substantial increase in the country’s armed forces, Southern states continued to secede from the Union, and the future commander of Confederate forces, Robert E. Lee, for- mally resigned from the U.S. Army. As spring and then sum- mer unfolded, each side consolidated its political status and its military forces, and a war took hold that would convulse the land for four more years, until the spring of 1865. The toll in lives, livelihood, and national well-being was tremendous, and its effects—positive and negative—reached far beyond the battlefields. Many consequences, revolution- ary in their time, made the country that emerged funda- mentally different from the one that had preceded the war: the combination of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment put an end to slavery, and the Union itself remained whole. For many Americans—African Americans and new immigrants—it provided the first opportunity to serve their country, and Lincoln became the icon of national politics that we still invoke today. To remember this turning point in American history, commemorations will take place across the country, and Massachusetts will not be an excep- tion. At the Massachusetts Historical Society, we feel a particu- lar sense of duty to create opportunities for our community to learn about the war, honor the memories of those who made sacrifices for a cause they believed in, and engage in discussions about what happened then and how these events are still with us today.

  • 3 Foote.Indd
    Rich Man’s War, Rich Man’s Fight: Class, Ideology, and Discipline in the Union Army Lorien Foote In September , for three successive days, an officer of the d Massachu- setts tied a private to a tree for one hour. A courts martial had found the man guilty of drunkenness and insubordination. Regiments encamped near the Second noticed this punishment and disapproved. On the third day, as the man hung bound to the tree, a large crowd gathered around the edge of the Second’s camp. Hurling insults at the officers, many men in the crowd took up a cry of “cut him down!” The crowd quickly became a mob that was not easily subdued. After this incident, officers from several regiments approached Colonel Gordon, commander of the Second, and asked him to punish the man in a more private place. Gordon refused. Wilder Dwight, the Major of the d Massachusetts, commented bitterly to his family that the Second was the only regiment that attempted to maintain discipline. “Even the officers among our neighbors discountenance the severity which alone insures our discipline,” he lamented. “To-day our army is crippled by the ideas of equality and independence which have colored the whole life of our people. When this defect is cured, and men recognize authority and obey without knowing why, we shall begin to get an army. In war, one will must act through all the others.”1 The d Massachusetts was not a typical volunteer regiment in the early stages of the Civil War. Its West Point commanders intended to model the .

  • Mcclellan Redux? the Often- Reported, Imminent Return of Little
    McClellan Redux? The Often- Reported, Imminent Return of Little Mac GEORGE C. RABLE Only days after the disastrous Union defeat at the Battle of Freder- icksburg, General George B. McClellan was returned to command of the Army of the Potomac. There was cheering in the camps around Falmouth, Virginia, and soldiers eagerly reported sighting a familiar figure on horseback. Of course, they were mistaken and the reports of McClellan’s restoration to command proved false, but in this case surely the wish was father to the rumor.1 Ironically, ever since President Abraham Lincoln removed McClel- lan in early November 1862, the general’s political and military crit- ics had worried about reports of his imminent return. Although the Chicago Tribune had once trumpeted McClellan as the savior of the Union, that sentiment became, as the soldiers would have said, “all played out.” Or at least the editor hoped so, for the fear remained that the general’s still loyal and sizable following might be hell-bent on overturning the president’s decision, giving aid and comfort to the Confederates, or even sparking an army mutiny. Republican losses in the fall elections had only compounded these worries, as did reports of New York Democrats assiduously courting McClellan.

The numbers are more than suggestive. Excluding naval personnel, physicians, chaplains and others who served in (mostly) non-combat positions, all schools of the University contributed a total of 578 officers and men to infantry units; of these, 88 were killed or mortally wounded and 86 were seriously wounded. Excluding deaths from disease and wounds unrelated to combat, 30.10 % of these Harvardians became combat casualties.1 If one considers only those killed and mortally wounded, Harvard’s casualties were 15.22% of total enlistments; this compares with total killed and mortally wounded for the entire state of Massachusetts at 6.4%.

THE LIFE OF A REPUTATION: THE PUBLIC MEMORY OF ULYSSES S. GRANT by RICHARD G. MANNION Under the Direction of Wendy Hamand Venet ABSTRACT At the time of his death in 1885, Ulysses S. Grant was widely regarded by his contemporaries as one of the great Americans of his age. Along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, his name was frequently included among the most accomplished heroes of the then still-young republic. Both nationally and internationally Grant was widely regarded as one of the world‘s great military leaders.
