  • "Sgt. Smith, First Marine Killed on Cuban Soil in the Spanish-American War?" Carroll County Times Article for 7 July 1
    "Sgt. Smith, First Marine Killed on Cuban Soil in the Spanish-American War?" Carroll County Times Article for 7 July 1996 By Jay A. Graybeal Shortly after I started working for the Historical Society, I found a photograph of Sgt. Charles H. Smith inscribed, "First American killed on Cuban soil in Spanish American War." I was intrigued! Over the past few years I have casually looked into his history and I related the following information after dinner at the Marine Corps League State convention held in Westminster on June 22nd. Sgt. Charles Hampton Smith was born on 15 January 1867 near Smallwood, Carroll County, Md. At about age 20 he left the county and worked in a Baltimore insurance firm. In 1893 he joined the Marine Corps serving as a member of a ship's detachment and traveling extensively. In a 5 January 1898 letter he wrote, "I have made friends in all parts of the world that I have been in: Turks, Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Moors, Austrians and English." The deteriorating relations between the United States and Spain and the destruction of the Battleship Maine on 15 February 1898 led to war. The Marines were preparing even before the Spanish declared war in late April. On 16 April Col. Commandant Charles Heywood ordered the creation of a Marine Battalion at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The 1st Marine Battalion consisted of 23 officers, 623 enlisted men and 1 Navy surgeon; the new unit was commanded by Civil War veteran Lt. Col. Robert W. Huntington. The unit was composed of five infantry companies and one artillery company armed with four 3-inch rapid fire guns.

Box A285, Sydney South, NSW 2000. Introduction The extraction and use of West New Britain obsidian has a twenty thousand year history in the western Pacific. It is found in prehistoric contexts from Malaysia in the west to Fiji in the east. Of significance is its spread out into the Pacific beginning at c.3500 B.P. It is found associated with the archaeological signature of this spread, Lapita pottery, in New Ireland, Mussau Island, South east Solomons, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji. Yet the number of places where obsidian occurs naturally is few in number, making the study of obsidian found in archaeological contexts away from their sources a profitable area of research. The chemical characterisation of obsidian from the source area where it was extracted and the archaeological site where it was deposited provides important information on obsidian production, distribution and use patterns. The objective of this project is to study these patterns over a 20,00 year time span and identify changing distribution configurations in order to assess the significance of models of exchange patterns or social links in Pacific prehistory. To achieve this objective over 1100 pieces of obsidian from archaeological contexts and over 100 obsidian pieces from sources were analysed using PIXE-PIGME from 1990 to 1993.

The avifauna on five atolls, Nissan, Nuguria, Tulun, Takuu and Nukumanu, was recorded during visits in 2001.

  • 1 of 7 Three Ships Named USS Marblehead Since the Latter Part Of
    Three Ships named USS Marblehead The 1st Marblehead Since the latter part of the 19th century, cruisers in the United States Navy have carried the names of U.S. cities. Three ships have been named after Marblehead, MA, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy, and all three had distinguished careers. The 1st Marblehead. The first Marblehead was not a cruiser, however. She Source: Wikipedia.com was an Unadilla-class gunboat designed not for ship-to-ship warfare but for bombardment of coastal targets and blockade runners. Launched in 1861, she served the Union during the American Civil War. First assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she took part in operations along the York and Pamunkey Rivers in Virginia. On 1 MAY 1862, she shelled Confederate positions at Yorktown in support of General George McClellan's drive up the peninsula toward Richmond. In an unusual engagement, this Marblehead was docked in Pamunkey River when Confederate cavalry commander Jeb Stuart ordered an attack on the docked ship. Discovered by Union sailors and marines, who opened fire, the Confederate horse artillery under Major John Pelham unlimbered his guns and fired on Marblehead. The bluecoats were called back aboard and as the ship got under way Pelham's guns raced the ship, firing at it as long as the horse can keep up with it. The Marblehead escaped. Reassigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she commenced patrols off the southern east coast in search of Confederate vessels. With the single turreted, coastal monitor Passaic, in early-FEB 1863, she reconnoitered Georgia’s Wilmington River in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the ironclad ram CSS Atlanta.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

Abstract Magnitude, composition and spatiotemporal patterns of vertebrate roadkill at regional scales: a study in southern Spain. Although roadkill studies on a large scale are challenging, they can provide valuable information to assess the impact of road traffic on animal populations. Over 22 months (between July 2009–June 2010, and April 2011–March 2012) we surveyed 45 road sections of 10 km within a global biodiversity hotspot in Andalusia (87,000 km2), in southern Spain. We divided the region into five ecoregions differing in environmental conditions and landscape characteristics and recorded the relative magnitude, composition and spatiotemporal patterns of vertebrate (birds, mammal, amphibians, and reptiles) mortality. We used roadkill data from monthly surveys of road stretches with different speed limits, traffic volume, road design, and adjacent landscape composition. Roadkills varied over time and were not randomly distributed across ecoregions and road types. Overall, the groups most frequently encountered were mammals (54.4 % of total roadkills) and birds (36.2 %). Mortality rates in these two groups were higher on highways than on national or local roads, whereas those of amphibians (4.6 %) and reptiles (4.3 %) did not differ between road types.
