It was a battle in which were included half a dozen bloody smaller battles, it was a battle where con- ditions were such that there was almost the closeness of conflicts in medieval times, and where regiments and brigades of raw recruits showed in desperate struggle with each other what American courage is.

  • Camp Communicator Oct 2018
    x Frederick H. Hackeman CAMP 85 October 2018 A Message From the Commander Brothers, Please note the change in the next meeting. Secretary Pfauth works to contact each mem- ber to remind everyone o the date and time. The first meeting had to be postponed due to a schedule conflict. It has dawned on me that desite our efforts to recruit new members to the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil Wars we are missing what is probably the more important re- cruitment aspect. We need to emphasize the ‘WHY’ question that is in the mind of any- one we approach. It is the simple question that is not usually expressed by the public: “Why do I need to join this organization? Why is it important to me?” We should be address- ing this need right upfront when we start taling about the SUVCW. Second, we should stop War using the ackronym “SUVCW” since this means absolutely nothing to them. At the very least, in public, say “Sons of the Union Veterans” when talking about our organization. Each of us might have joined for any of several different reasons: A friend/relative got us into it, we joined after doing genealogy research and found we had a Union Veteran, and a very few of us wanted to be able to look neat in a Union uniform.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.

Allen Year of Crisis etween the COVID-19 pandemic that upended society and ground the world to a halt, the national reckoning with Brace in the United States, and an intensely divisive election season, 2020 was a year unlike any other in recent memory. The pandemic has had a large-scale, catastrophic impact: unspeakable loss of life, economic turmoil, and unprecedented disruptions in how we live and work, educate and care for our children, and interact as a society. The virus and its many effects hit our com- munities of color especially hard, and the chaotic election season introduced additional challenges to an effective response. In the over 100-year history of Brookings, the nation has seen some difficult times: the Great Depression, two world wars, 9/11, and the financial crisis, to name a few. The COVID-19 pandemic is the first to force Brookings employees from campus for many months. These extraordinary measures, which prioritized the health and safety of our community, enabled Brookings to protect our staff and maintain our unwavering commitment to producing a high volume of real-time, thoughtful analysis and practical policy recommendations. With major developments unfolding at a remarkable pace, Brookings experts continued to bring rigorous, non-partisan research grounded in facts to immediate problems without losing sight of the enduring issues that need attention. 1 PHOTO: COURTESY OF PHOTO: COURTESY SUZANNE NORA JOHNSON PHOTO: BRIAN STANTON Suzanne Nora Johnson Glenn H.

  • OPERATIONS AROUND CORINTH March 1862
    OPERATIONS AROUND CORINTH March 1862 “It was the greatest strategic position in the West between the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers and between Nashville and Vicksburg.” Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, writing of Corinth, Mississippi1 ess than three weeks after the fall of Fort Donelson, Grant’s army moved south stream of complaints about him to Washington and, upon arriving at Fort Henry, Grant up the Tennessee River. In fact, most of the Federal troops in Tennessee, west of found orders relieving him of command. Brig. Gen. C. F. Smith replaced Grant, with Nashville, and most of the Confederate troops scattered in that same area, plus instructions to move the army south up the Tennessee River. The first troops departed two others from as far south as Mobile and New Orleans, were all slowly converging days later –the lead regiments of a new division of Ohio troops under Brig. Gen. William on a small town just across the Tennessee line. In the spring of 1862, Corinth, Mississippi, T. Sherman. Sherman’s entire division arrived at Savannah, Tennessee, by March 12th, Lwas six years old with about 2,800 residents. The little town was significant because it was with five more Federal divisions to soon follow. one of the most important railroad junctions in the western Confederacy.
