    Book otice: Kentucky Soldiers and Their Regiments in the Civil War Abstracted from the Pages of Contemporary ewspapers Written by Dan Reigle for the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal , Vol. XIV (2010), No. 3. Five volumes, each covering one year of the 1861-1865 period. Steven L. Wright. Utica KY: McDowell Publications. Copyright by author, 2009. (Ordering information is at the end of this notice.) Thanks to Don Rightmyer, editor of Kentucky Ancestors , for making us aware of this new resource. In the Winter 2010 issue of Kentucky Ancestors , Don used the word “monumental” to describe this newly-published set of books, stating that they make “a tremendous contribution to the published history of the experiences of Kentucky men during the Civil War.” I agree, having used the books immediately after receiving them to annotate Darrell Helton’s submission of documents on the engagements at Cotton Hill, south of Charleston WV in November 1861. We all know the unique value of newspaper research in our Civil War research and our genealogical research , and we also know how painfully difficult it can be to locate relevant newspapers and then to find in them the information we need. Mr. Wright has done a lot of heavy lifting for us. His objective was clearly stated in the Preface to the first volume: “This work is not about the big battles, although there is generally enough reference information to find the reports and narratives peppered through various issues of the newspapers from their correspondents. I have attempted to provide an adequate amount of abstracted information to allow researchers to follow up on their own interests, or simply to see a simplified version of events as they happened.

  • History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric
    Andrei A. Znamenski, Memphis/USA History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric Guys, stop your speculations and read books. One of my re­ cent discoveries is Kremlev. Here is a real history of Russia. One reads his books and wants to beat a head against a wall from the realization of how much we lost due to corruption, treason and the stupidity of our rulers – tsars, general secret­ aries and presidents. What wonderful opportunities we had in the past and how much we have lost!1 A nationalist blogger about the ultra-patriotic popular his­ tory “Russian America: Discovered and Sold” (2005) by Sergei Kremlev In Russian-American relations, Alaska is doomed to remain a literary-political metaphor – some sort of a stylistic figure of speech whose original meaning faded away being re­ placed with an imagined one.2 Writer Vladimir Rokot (2007) On the afternoon of October 18, 1867, a Siberian Line Battalion and a detachment of the US Ninth Infantry faced each other on a central plaza of New Archangel (Figure 1), the capital of Russian America, prepared for the official ceremony of lowering the Russian flag and of raising the Stars and Stripes. This act was to finalize the transfer of Alaska (Figure 2) from Russia to the United States, which bought the territory for $ 7.2 million. At 4 PM, Captain Aleksei Peshchurov gave orders to lower the Russian flag. After this, Brigadier General Lovell Rousseau, a representative of the US Government, ordered the American flag to be raised. Salutes were fired. This ceremony ended a brief seventy-year presence of the Russian Empire in northwestern North America.3 Driven by short-term strategic goals, Russian emperor Alexander II decided to get rid of his overseas posses­ sion, which represented 6 per cent of the Russian Empire territory.

    Josiah Bushnell Grinnell: Radical Abolitionist Through and Through Will Hamilton Class of 2017 Content Warning: This essay includes direct quotes from historical sources and transcripts which use derogatory racial epithets. On June 14, 1866 congressman Lovell Rousseau Democrats were strongly against abolition, and while the from Kentucky cornered Josiah Bushnell Grinnell, a Republican coalition was frmly antislavery, Congress’ representative from Iowa, in the east front house portico dominant party lacked unity regarding when, how, and of the United States Capitol building and repeatedly beat why abolition should occur. It is important to note Grinnell with an iron-tipped cane until the cane broke. that the Republican Party was still in its fedgling stage: The incident was the culmination of several months as a combination of former Free-Soilers, Whigs, and of fery arguments between Rousseau and Grinnell, other progressives, the party’s umbrella ideology was which devolved over the course of 1866 into a bitter constantly evolving before the war broke out. vendetta consisting of personal attacks exchanged on Once the war broke out, Union politicians the House foor.1 On the surface, the caning of Grinnell faced an unprecedented national crisis which created by Rousseau was yet another incident illustrative of the the necessity for leaders to abandon their personal violent tensions between leaders from different parts ambitions and agendas and compromise on the of the country endemic of the Civil War and early Capitol foor, or in clandestine meetings in the dead Reconstruction eras. However, the caning represents a of night, in order to preserve the United States.

  • The Second Freedmen's Bureau Bill's Constitution
    GRABER.TOPRINTER (DO NOT DELETE) 5/28/2016 12:30 PM The Second Freedmen’s Bureau Bill’s Constitution Mark A. Graber* Introduction The Civil Rights Act of 18661 dominates the Second Freedmen’s Bureau Bill of 18662 when conversation turns to the Reconstruction Amendments. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 is the first place commentators look when determining the meaning of Section Two of the Thirteenth Amendment and Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment. Leading works on the post-Civil War Constitution regularly point out that Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment, if not the entire Fourteenth Amendment, was intended to entrench the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and resolve lingering doubts about the constitutionality of that measure.3 Much constitutional debate took place during the late twentieth century over whether the Fourteenth Amendment was limited to entrenching the Civil Rights Act of 1866 or whether entrenching the provisions of that measure was merely a very important purpose of Section One.4 The Second Freedmen’s Bureau Bill appears in these debates, if at all, only as a precursor to the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as a part of the claim that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees a right to bear arms, or to demonstrate that Republicans gave their constitutional imprimatur to race-conscious 5 measures that benefited African-Americans. * Jacob A.
