Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.

  • Indiana Magaz Ine of History Volumelvii Septemeer1961 Number3
    INDIANA MAGAZ INE OF HISTORY VOLUMELVII SEPTEMEER1961 NUMBER3 The Impact of the Civil War on Indiana John D. Barnhart* The Civil War was the greatest challenge Indiana's democratic government had met. The war affected all of the citizens of the state, penetrated their vital social relations, and threatened their necessary and cherished organizations. The way the people met that challenge constitutes much of the history of the war years in Indiana. That all patriots yield obedience to the voice of the people when expressed in a constitutional manner and that all citizens unite in preserving the Union and the Constitution was the message of Abraham Lincoln to the people of Indiana as he journeyed from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration as president of the United States. The next day, February 12, 1861, his fifty-second birthday, he was escorted to the railway station where he entrained for Cincinnati. Lincoln's Indianapolis appearance and speech were the subject of favorable comment by the Republican Daily Journal, but the Democratic Daily Sentinel declared him to be a theorist, a dreamer, and an impractical man who lacked the will and purpose to be a leader.' The attack upon Fort Sumter, April 12, 1561, stunned the people of Indiana and its sister states.2 When the news * The Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission requested publica- tion of the author's two chapters on the Civil War originally included in John D. Barnhart and Donald F. Carmony, Indiana: From F,rontier to Industrial Commonwealth (4 vols., New York, 1954). In preparing the chapters for this purpose they were combined into one, and some revision in style was attempted.

  • February 2007 Newsletter
    Welcome to Vibrationdata Acoustics • Shock • Vibration • Signal Processing February 2007 Newsletter Greetings Feature Articles I encourage everyone to research his family history and to draw strength from his heritage, particularly in the face of adversity. Although my ancestors came to America from a number of European nations, my family name comes from Scotland. Clan Irvine is a lowland Scottish clan. The clan’s motto is: Sub sole sub umbra virens. This is a Latin phrase for “Flourishing in the sun and in the shade.” This month I pay honor to my Scottish ancestors via two articles on bagpipe music. The bagpipes are not exclusively Scottish, however. Historically, people throughout many regions of the world enjoyed bagpipe music. The Italian Zampognari, for example, continue this tradition. Sincerely, Bagpipe History page 2 Bagpipe Acoustics page 9 Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] The photo is of professional bagpiper Ken Smith. 1 Bagpipe History by Tom Irvine carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the manmade sound never equaled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig. On the other hand, a piper’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” or “Scotland the Brave” can stir the soul of some listeners, bringing tears to their eyes. Bagpipes throughout the World The bagpipe is commonly associated with music from the British Isles, particularly with the Celts of Scotland. The bagpipe originated, however, in the Middle East, some four thousand years ago, perhaps among shepherds who had ready access to the animal skins from which the bag was made. Figure 1.
