Not only does it signify that I have completed my project but also that I have not traveled the weary path toward completion alone. While I certainly enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and find great pleasure in composing the narrative of history, I admittedly much prefer the opportunity to shine the light of appreciation on those people who have helped me through the difficult process. Granted, I will likely forget someone, and to him or her, I extend my deepest apologies Now, allow me thank the people who have helped me in what has been the most arduous journey of my academic career up to this point. First and foremost, I must thank my academic advisor, Dr. Steven E. Woodworth. He has been both a benevolent taskmaster and a generous friend. While our lunch-table conversations often diverged from the topic of history and led us into arguably more interesting and certainly more important areas of discussion, we always managed to find our way back to the task at hand. I could not have asked for a better mentor, and while I had the opportunity to go elsewhere, I know that I made the correct decision in choosing to study at Texas Christian University.

George Hillyer, 9th Regmt Georgia Vol., Manassas, Virginia” by his father, Judge Junius Hillyer. (Figure 1) The Athens provisional stamps were issued during postmaster Thomas Crawford’s term and bear his name. They were printed on white wove paper from a form consisting of two similar but dis- tinctly different woodcut designs. This results in all pairs showing both types. The pair was created by the work-and-turn printing method, as opposed to an inverted cliché among subjects on the plate.1 All are extremely rare. Of special note on the left stamp of the pair in Figure 1, there is a transient printing variety—a dark horizontal line of color below the top two stars.

  • The William Wells Statues at Gettysburg and Burlington, Vermont
    A Tale of Two Statues: The William Wells Statues at Gettysburg and Burlington, Vermont This statue and bas-relief may remind future generations that Vermont raised men who dared to do even more desperate deeds than that famous charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava.1 By David F. Cross attery Park in Burlington, Vermont, overlooks Lake Cham- plain. During the War of 1812, an artillery emplacement con- Bsisting of embrasures for thirteen cannon was constructed to repel British warships coming up the lake from Canada, and these earth- works did withstand a harmless twenty-minute bombardment in 1813.2 The only Civil War connection here is the arrival the same year of Gen- eral Wade Hampton to command the force being assembled for an ill- fated invasion of Canada.3 This Major General Hampton (1752–1835) was the grandfather of Confederate Major General Wade Hampton III (1818–1902), who organized the Hampton Legion and commanded the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia following J.E.B. Stuart’s death at Yellow Tavern, Virginia. It is, therefore, somewhat of a surprise and an anachronism to en- counter in the center of Battery Park a large statue of a Federal Civil War cavalry officer. He stands eight feet five inches tall and is portrayed ..................... DAVID F. CROSS, M.D., is a retired physician residing in Ferrisburgh.

  • Unwilling Witness to the Rage of Gettysburg
    Unwilling Witness to the Rage of Gettysburg The Experience of Battle, July 2 D. Scott Hartwig The battle of Gettysburg is the most exhaustively studied battle in American history. The volume of literature produced about it boggles the mind. Richard A. Sauers’ bibliography on the Gettysburg campaign published in 1982 listed 2,757 books and articles published since the battle, a seeming staggering quantity. But twenty-two years later, in 2004, he published a second edition. It contained 6,193 entries. Interest in the battle seems insatiable. Through this flood-tide of books and articles we have learned a great deal about generals and generalship, battlefield controversies – which continue to fuel the debates in print, on the field, and in chat rooms – and the courage and sacrifice of the fighting men. But comparatively little attention has been focused upon the actual experience of battle. What did the battle sound like to those in it? What did it smell like? How did the soldiers, who were nearly all veterans of other battles, control their fear so that they might do their duty? What could a typical soldier see of the battle? How different was it from what a commander could see? How did commanders control their men in battle? Do we really understand the tactics they used? Did they deviate at all from the standard training manuals that both armies used? How were the available weapons used and why were they used that way? What effect did the physical circumstances of the soldiers have upon their behavior and performance in the battle? How were men taken prisoner? This paper seeks to examine these and other questions -- to move from the perspective of the commanders to the front, where, as one soldier wrote, “it is all smoke, and dust and noise.” The Armies Major General George G.

  • Penfield Minutes
    Annotated Penfield Baptist Church Minutes Penfield, 11th May, 1839 At the request of sundry brethren at Penfield, the following ministering brethren attended, and formed a Presbytery, (to wit) C. D. Mallary, V. R. Thornton, W. M. Tryon, and B. M. Sanders, for the purpose of constituting a Church at this place. An appropriate Sermon was preached by B. M. Sanders; after which bro. C. D. Mallary was called to the Chair; and bro. Sanders appointed Clerk. The Presbytery formed to constitute the Penfield Baptist Church was made up of men with strong ties to Mercer Institute/Mercer University. Charles Dutton Mallary served as Agent 1837-1840 and was largely instrumental in raising Mercer’s first endowment fund. He wrote the book Memoir of Jesse Mercer. Vincent R. Thornton served on the Executive Committee of the Georgia Baptist Convention (1833-1838). Mercer Institute was under the direct supervision of this committee. Billington McCarthy Sanders was the President of Mercer Institute and served as general superintendent, teacher, steward and farmer. He was also the first President of Mercer University. Charles Dutton Mallary, Vincent R. Thornton, and Billington McCarthy Sanders were Mercer University Trustees and served until their deaths. William Melton Tryon was a ministerial student in the first class of Mercer Institute. In 1841 he went to Texas as a missionary and was one of the founders of Baylor University.
