  • John Taylor Wood: Man of Action, Man of Honor
    The Cape Fear Civil War Round Table John Taylor Wood: Man of Action, Man of Honor By Tim Winstead History 454 December 4, 2009 On July 20, 1904, a short obituary note appeared on page seven of the New York Times. It simply stated, "Captain John Taylor Wood, grandson of President Zachary Taylor and nephew of Jefferson Davis, died in Halifax, N.S. yesterday, seventy-four years old." The note also stated that Wood served as a United States Navy midshipman, fought in the Mexican War, served as a Confederate army colonel on the staff of Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee's army, escaped the collapse of the Confederacy with General Breckinridge to Cuba, and was a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia when he passed. In one paragraph, the obituary writer prepared the outline of the life of a man who participated in many of the major events of the American Civil War. John Taylor Wood's story was much more expansive and interwoven with the people and history of the Civil War era than the one paragraph credited to him by the Times. This paper examined the events in which Wood found himself immersed and sought to determine his role in those events. The main focus of the paper was Wood's exploits during his service to the Confederate States of America. His unique relationships with the leadership of the Confederacy ensured that he was close at hand when decisions were made which affected the outcome of the South's gamble for independence. Was John Taylor Wood the Forrest Gump of his day? Was it mere chance that Wood was at Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862, at Drewry's Bluff on May 15, 1862, abroad the USS Satellite in August 1863, aboard the USS Underwriter at New Berne in February 1864, abroad the CSS Tallahassee in August 1864, or with Jefferson Davis on the "unfortunate day" in Georgia on May 10, 1865? Was it only his relationship with Jefferson Davis that saw Wood engaged in these varied events? This paper examined these questions and sought to establish that it was Wood's competence and daring that placed him at the aforementioned actions and not Jefferson Davis's nepotism.

Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

  • US History/Road to Revolution 1 US History/Road to Revolution
    US History/Road to Revolution 1 US History/Road to Revolution The French and Indian War (The following text is from Wikipedia) The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was the North American chapter of the Seven Years' War. The name refers to the two main enemies of the British: the royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them. The conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. The outcome was one of the most significant developments in a century of Anglo-French conflict. To compensate its ally, Spain, for its loss of Florida, France ceded its control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi. France's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Naming the war The conflict is known by several names. In British North America, wars were often named after the sitting British monarch, such as King William's War or Queen Anne's War. Because there had already been a King George's War in the 1740s, British colonists named the second war in King George's reign after their opponents, and thus it became known as the French and Indian War.[1] This traditional name remains standard in the United States, although it obscures the fact that American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.[2] American historians generally use the traditional name or the European title (the Seven Years' War), and have also invented other, less frequently used names for the war, including the Fourth Intercolonial War and the Great War for the Empire.[1] In Great Britain and France, the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War war usually has no special name, and so the entire worldwide conflict is known as the Seven Years' War (or the Guerre de sept ans).

  • Indian Histories at Ticonderoga; Nicholas Westbrook
    From the Editors Arguably the most important year in Hudson Valley history since 1909, we are already in the midst of celebrations surrounding the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial. This issue commemorates the accomplishments and legacies of all three honorees—Henry Hudson, Robert Fulton, and Samuel de Champlain— as well as the lasting contributions of the commission that planned events sur- rounding the 1909 Hudson-Fulton Tercentenary. We open with a review of the 1909 festivities and follow with a brief survey of Dutch archival history from the preeminent historian and translator of New Netherland manuscripts. For the complete story on Robert Fulton, readers should reference our Autumn 2007 issue, which contained a lengthy biography of the inventor. Here its author offers a brief summary of Fulton’s steamboat voyage and how it revolutionized transportation, in America and around the world. Delving into the Champlain Valley for the first time, we begin at the beginning, with an article tracing the Native American presence there from prehistory to the American Revolution. We return to Hudson with an overview written by William T. Reynolds, the captain of the Replica Ship The Half Moon, and an excerpt of Robert Juet’s journal of the voyage. Joyce Goodfriend illustrates both the power of the Dutch cultural legacy and the tensions caused by the British control after 1664. Lastly, André Senecal explains Champlain and the circumstances that led to his actions in 1609. We conclude with two more articles exploring the signal contributions Hudson and Champlain made to local and world history. Our Regional History Forums focus on the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission, which has organized the yearlong celebration, and Walkway Over the Hudson State Park, perhaps the greatest legacy of the 400th celebration.

Brumwell examines The inTeracTion beTween differenT culTural groups locked in alliances or in conflict, whose social lives were regulated or influenced by their own distinct societal, political and cultural values. The phenomenon of “cross- culTural inTeracTion” on The fronTier separaTing New France and New England played a very imporTanT role in The conducT of diplomacy and warfare.

Brumwell examine l’interaction des différents groupes culturels engagés dans des alliances ou des conflits, dont la vie sociale de chacun étaient régie ou influencée par des valeurs sociétales, politiques ou culturelles distinctes. Le phénomène «d’interaction interculturelle» sur le front pionnier séparant la Nouvelle-France et la Nouvelle-Angleterre a joué un rôle très important dans la conduite de la diplomatie et de la guerre.

  • The United States Colored Troops (USCT) at the Battle of Fort Blakeley by Mike Bunn, July 10, 2020 Blueandgrayeducation.Org
    The United States Colored Troops (USCT) at the Battle of Fort Blakeley By Mike Bunn, July 10, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org Battle of Fort Blakeley | Harper's Weekly The Battle of Fort Blakeley is remembered as the decisive fight in the combined-forces Campaign for Mobile in the spring of 1865. But many people are unaware that the battle featured one of the largest concentrations of African-American soldiers anywhere during the Civil War. Approximately 5,000 troops from nine different regiments—nearly a third of the entire Union force at Blakeley—took part in the siege and assault. Officially designated at the time as United States Colored Troops, the USCT were regiments of the U.S. Army composed of African-American soldiers. While the majority of the men in the ranks of USCT regiments were former slaves, white officers commanded all units in combat. The Federal government had first authorized acceptance of small numbers black regiments in specific locations in the fall of 1862, but after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1, 1863, it began actively recruiting African-American soldiers. Organization of these units was overseen by the Bureau of Colored Troops, formed later in 1863, which arranged for the enlistment, outfitting, and training of numerous new black regiments. By April 1865 there were over 180,000 USCT troops in the Federal army, which comprised about 10 percent of its total manpower. USCT regiments participated in most of the major campaigns of the final two years of the Civil War, often being relegated to service as supply and guard details or as manual labor.
