    America’s Rangers: The Story of America’s First Warriors and their Journey from Tradition to Institution by James Sandy, B.A. A Thesis In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Peggy Gordon Miller Dean of the Graduate School August, 2011 Copyright 2011, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James Sandy, Summer 2011 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 as a fantastic proofreader and a wonderful sounding board where many an idea was first verbalized. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my graduate education. Dr. Barton Myers was the latest addition to my committee, but he pushed me to expand my project further back into American History. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Dr. Ron Milam has been a part of my academic career from the beginning and has long served as my inspiration in pursuing a life in academia.

    Staff Report PA 2017-CW-4CP

    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK STAFF REPORT FOR PLAN AMENDMENT PA 2017-CW-4CP BACKGROUND On July 9, 2013, through the approval of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan Work Program, the Board of Supervisors authorized annual consideration, if needed, of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to update information pertaining to Heritage Resources in the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will primarily incorporate current information relating to historic properties in Fairfax County. Heritage Resources information in the Comprehensive Plan was last updated in September 2016 to reflect updates through 2015. Since that time, two properties have been added to the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites (Inventory), the historic status of two properties has been revised, and seventeen have been removed. The Inventory is maintained by the History Commission. ANALYSIS The revisions include additions and removals to the Inventory of Historic Sites to reflect History Commission actions, editorial revisions to language which describes Historic Overlay Districts, and updates to references to county departments. The two new sites added to the Inventory are: 1) Hannah P. Clark/Enyedi House (c. 1876), a vernacular farm house in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac Planning District, added to the Inventory by the History Commission in October 2017; and 2) the Fort Belvoir Military Railroad Historic Corridor (1810-1993), also in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac and Springfield Planning Districts, added to the Virginia Landmarks Register, and therefore added also to the Inventory, in June 2016. Seventeen sites listed in the Inventory of Historic Sites are currently noted in the Plan tables with an asterisk to show the resource as demolished.
