    SaltpeterMiningand the Civil War inJackson County, Alabama by Marion O. Smith Saltpeter Mining and the Civil War in Jackson County, Alabama Marion O. Smith Printed by Byron's Graphic Arts, Maryville, Tennessee June, 1990 FRONT COVER Saltpeter vat cast inTumbling Rock Cave VOLUME 24, NUMBER 2, JOURNAL OF SPELEAN HISTORY, APRIL-JUNE, 1990 THE NEED FOR SALTPETER The formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861 soon led to a bloody Civil War which created an urgency for all types of munitions. One of the South's most crucial necessities was to find an adequate supply for the ingredients of gunpowder: sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter. The first two were not much of a challenge. Large amounts of sulphur were stored in Louisiana, originally for use in refining sugar, and pyrites could be roasted. Trees for charcoal, "the willow, dogwood, and alder," were plenti­ ful. Saltpeter (calcium nitrate converted to potassium nitrate) was the major concern. Although some state governments had various amounts of powder on hand, and more was acquired when Federal forts and arsenals were seized, the total was far from adequate. 1 Consequent ly, there were efforts by local, state, and the Confederate governments to insure that there was a sufficient supply of powder and its components. One decision was to buy saltpeter and powder in Europe and ship it through the recently declared Federal naval blockade. Another was to re­ vive saltpeter m~n~ng in the Appalachian caves of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, which had been largely neglected since the War of 1812, and to encourage mining in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

  • A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity Across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama
    DECEMBER 2018 L Y Z A A N D K N U P P 4261 A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama ANTHONY W. LYZA AND KEVIN R. KNUPP Department of Atmospheric Science, Severe Weather Institute–Radar and Lightning Laboratories, Downloaded from http://journals.ametsoc.org/mwr/article-pdf/146/12/4261/4367919/mwr-d-18-0300_1.pdf by NOAA Central Library user on 29 July 2020 University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, Alabama (Manuscript received 23 August 2018, in final form 5 October 2018) ABSTRACT The effects of terrain on tornadoes are poorly understood. Efforts to understand terrain effects on tornadoes have been limited in scope, typically examining a small number of cases with limited observa- tions or idealized numerical simulations. This study evaluates an apparent tornado activity maximum across the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateaus of northeastern Alabama. These plateaus, separated by the narrow Wills Valley, span ;5000 km2 and were impacted by 79 tornadoes from 1992 to 2016. This area represents a relative regional statistical maximum in tornadogenesis, with a particular tendency for tornadogenesis on the northwestern side of Sand Mountain. This exploratory paper investigates storm behavior and possible physical explanations for this density of tornadogenesis events and tornadoes. Long-term surface observation datasets indicate that surface winds tend to be stronger and more backed atop Sand Mountain than over the adjacent Tennessee Valley, potentially indicative of changes in the low-level wind profile supportive to storm rotation. The surface data additionally indicate potentially lower lifting condensation levels over the plateaus versus the adjacent valleys, an attribute previously shown to be favorable for tornadogenesis.

  • Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, 1890-1942
    CHAPTER TWO: THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK, 1890-1942 1 COMMEMORATING THE CIVIL WAR The Civil War was a watershed event in American history and a signal event in the lives of all who participated in it. Of the 2.75 million Americans who saw action in the war, 621,000 died and 470,000 were wounded. Efforts to memorialize the fallen and recognize and aid veterans and their survivors began even before combat ceased. The creation of the first Civil War national military parks in the 1890s was preceded by twenty-five years of private and state memorial efforts. Commemorative efforts began in the mid-1860s with the formation of local memorial associations in the South, the creation of Union soldiers’ cemeteries at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and Antietam, Maryland, the preservation of land at Gettysburg, the establishment of national cemeteries by the federal government, and the creation of veterans’ groups, mostly in the North. In the early postwar years, commemoration took different forms in the North and the South. In the 1880s and 1890s, as the veteran population aged, commemorative activity expanded, and contact between ex-Confederates and ex- Federals increased. Blue-gray reunions, often held on the battlefields, became common. The interaction at reunions, a spirit of sectional reconciliation and commemoration of the sacrifice of both sides, and an increased appreciation of the nation’s past all contributed to the successful movement to establish national battlefield parks. In the South, independent, local memorial associations sprang up rapidly during and after the war. Many originated in women’s wartime groups organized to do hospital and relief work.
