Camp-Fire Chats of the Civil War THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES ENTIHG OH THE OLD (sAMP GROUND.* We're tenting to-night on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer Our weary hearts, a song of home And the friends we love so dear. Many are the hearts that are weary to-night, for the to cease Wishing war ; Many are the hearts looking for the right To see the dawn of peace. Tenting to-night, tenting to-night, Tenting on the old camp ground. We've been tenting to-night on the old camp ground, of Thinking days gone by ; Of the loved ones at home who gave us the hand. " " And the tear that said Good-bye! We are tired of war on the old camp ground, Many are dead and gone, Of the loved and true who've left their homes ; Others been wounded long. We've been fighting to-day on the old camp ground,- Many are lying near; Some are dead, and some dying : Many are in tears.

H been satisfied by the publication of CAMP-FIRE Q Nor has the manuscript been prepared for the private perusal of a few of the author's friends; but this volume has been pub- lished for the same purpose as are other books in these latter old honest days (save the reports issued by good Uncle Sam), with the additional intent of preserving a few points of his- tory, and some features of army life not before delineated. To this end the subject matter has been selected, with suffi- cient humorous incident, it is thought, to relieve the work of dryness. Only one claim is made : the stories are fresh and hereto- fore and in the material the field unpublished ; gathering from the publishers and the author have spared neither labor nor expense. It was realized that much wholesome romance, to- gether with many details in the history of the Civil War, re- mained treasured only in the memories of the veterans, or at least had not found their way into print, and must necessarily the perish with soldiers, unless the many interesting stories told at the various camp-fires of the Grand Army of the Re- t PREFACE. XI public, were preserved. The preservation of these also achieves a very praiseworthy result: It furnishes to youthful minds a far better class of reading than the mass of exciting and pernicious literature thrust upon them from all sides. Each speaker has been given due credit, and is therefore responsible for the tale he has told. No character sketches have been attempted, for, since the characters are all living, it has been deemed unsafe for the author's physical well-being; and then such sketches, either pen portrait or caricature, have been odious to the writer ever since his school-boy days, when he was cartooned on the old school-yard fence by a youthful genius with a stolen piece of chalk. Thanks to the many who have furnished the anecdotes herein contained, and for their kind assistance so freely tend- ered the author while collecting the data; and especially to Symmes M. Jelley, A. M. If the book is welcomed by the public as heartily as the author has been received by the members of the Grand Army, no anxiety will be felt by W. D. CHICAGO, January, 1884. CAMP-FIRE I. The S. P.

  • L the Statue
    Sv^l'war i^oiiumeHt: Histciy'- Memory -C^ntroversy ' "*- '' *•* A. Bowdoin Van Riper Research Librarian, Martha's Vineyard Museum The Vineyard has many (barkers^rSctedribrcottmemdrate historical events, hut only two of them are statues. One, at the edge of the State Forest, memorializes the heath hen that the forest - first set aside as a reserve for the endangered bird - failed to save. The other, standing guard over the Oak Bluffs ferry wharf, commemorates a Civil War soldier. This is a story about that statue. It's also - necessarily and inseparably - a story about a man, a town, and a war. It's also, again necessarily, a story about people's memories of that war. This is a complicated story about an (apparently) simple object, but it's interesting - and important, today more than ever — precisely because it's complicated. L The Statue First things first: It is not a Confederate soldier. Despite what Gale Huntington - who should have known better - wrote in An Introduction to Martha's Vineyard back in 1969 . despite what passing tour bus operators may proclaim . despite what your houseguests explained at tedious length last weekend . .. it's a Union soldier. The belt buckle, the cartridge box, the cap badge, and the uniform buttons are all Federal issue. The statue is not, therefore, a direct analog of those at the center of recent controversies in Charlottesville, Baltimore, and Richmond. It was not erected, as so many of them were, as a marker of white power and an implicit warning to blacks to "know their place" in a society that refused to acknowledge their humanity.

  • 1884 History
    Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (a) The History of the Sons of Veterans by A.P. Davis, Originator and Frank P. Merrill Commander-In-Chief The Sons of Veterans of the United States of America The material for the following outline of the origin, organization, purposes, progress and aims of the National Association, now so widely spread and so well known under the above – named simple and highly appropriate official title, has been furnished by Comrade A.P. Davis, the originator of the Order, with the assistance of Brother Frank P. Merrill, the Commander-in-Chief of the Organization, and is approved by the officers of the National Association. The term “Veteran” would indicate one who was experienced in any art or calling, but more particularly that of war. Therefore, before our late civil struggle of 1861-5 had closed, we had what was termed veteran soldiers and veteran regiments. When the end had come, and the Union no longer required the services of her well-trained and faithful volunteer hosts, those who had passed through the ordeal and were still alive returned to their several homes and vocations as “citizens,” with the feeling that each and all had done something to save and perpetuate a great and good nation; and so it came that in due time, and as it were by common consent, the mantle and title of “Veteran” slowly and surely fell upon all who had drawn a sword or shouldered a musket for our national existence. ________________________ (a) Excerpted from: Mottelay P.

Historians investigated women's roles in supporting the Revolution, in the political system of the new republic, and in their own "female subculture" where they had power in the home or church. This paper describes individual cases of late eighteenth-century New Jersey women who also do not fit into the established woman's role. I discovered and investigated strategies women used to exert power within their marriages and relationships. The result is a fresh image of early American women that highlights their clever resourcefulness, surprising abilities, and strong personalities.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
