  • "Fifth" Maryland at Guilford Courthouse: an Exercise in Historical Accuracy - L
    HOME CMTE. SUBMISSIONS THE "FIFTH" MARYLAND AT GUILFORD COURTHOUSE: AN EXERCISE IN HISTORICAL ACCURACY - L. E. Babits, February 1988 Over the years, an error has gradually crept into the history of the Maryland Line. The error involves a case of mistaken regimental identity in which the Fifth Maryland is credited with participation in the battle of Guilford Courthouse at the expense of the Second Maryland.[1] When this error appeared in the Maryland Historical Magazine,[2] it seemed time to set the record straight. The various errors seem to originate with Mark Boatner. In his Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, Boatner, while describing the fight at Guilford Courthouse, states: As the 2/Gds prepared to attack without waiting for the three other regiments to arrive, Otho Williams, "charmed with the late demeanor of the first regiment (I Md), hastened toward the second (5th Md) expecting a similar display...". But the 5th Maryland was virtually a new regiment. "The sight of the scarlet and steel was too much for their nerves," says Ward.[3] In this paragraph Boatner demonstrates an ignorance of the actual command and organizational structure of Greene's Southern Army because he quotes from Ward's l94l work on the Delaware Line and Henry Lee's recollections of the war, both of which correctly identify the unit in question as the Second Maryland Regiment.[4] The writer of the Kerrenhappuch Turner article simply referred to Boatner's general reference on the Revolutionary War for the regimental designation.[5] Other writers have done

  • Nathanael Greene, Thomas Jefferson and the Challenge of the Virginia Militia, 1780-1781*
    “This Dangerous Fire”: Nathanael Greene, Thomas Jefferson and the Challenge of the Virginia Militia, 1780-1781* John R. Maass From his army’s South Carolina bivouac along the upper Pee Dee River, the new Continental commander of the Southern Department, Major General Nathanael Greene, penned a lengthy letter on 10 January 1781 to his old friend Alexander Hamilton, with whom he had previously served in the northern theatre. Greene reported the numerous problems he faced in “keeping shoals of Militia on foot.”1 While he acknowledged the efficacy of some mounted militia units, Greene lamented that “the rest of the Militia are calculated [more] to destroy provisions than oppose the Enemy. .” This revealing letter epitomizes the general’s persistent complaint of “the folly of employing Militia” during his trying tenure as Continental commander in the southern states during the latter years of the war. This was particularly true regarding the unceasing attempts by Greene and Virginia Governor Thomas Jefferson to exploit the Old Dominion’s manpower resources in 1780 and 1781.2 Scholars have detailed the weaknesses of inexperienced, poorly equipped militia companies in battles against British regulars, as well as the chaos that resulted in the South when traditional norms surrounding violence broke down.3 Fewer studies, however, have detailed the larger challenge faced by General Greene and other local, state, and Continental officers throughout the war in the South: raising, equipping and keeping militia units in the field in a manner helpful to the American prosecution of the war. Although numerous contemporaries disparaged the militia for its many limitations, senior officers in the South were dependent on it to wage the war.

Baxley © 2015 Fall 1781 – South Carolina The British Southern strategy was unraveling. Lt. Gen. Charles, Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in October 1781. The British army of occupation in North and South Carolina and Georgia could hold selected posts and travel en masse at will, but could not control the countryside where rebel militias and state troops patrolled. Their southern strongholds were within 35 miles of their supply ports: Charlestown, Savannah and Wilmington, NC. In South Carolina the British withdrew from their advanced bases at Camden, Ninety Six, Augusta, and Georgetown, and only held posts arcing around Charlestown in the aftermath of the bloody battle at Eutaw Springs in September. Defending Charlestown, the British had major forward posts at Fair Lawn Barony (in modern Moncks Corner) at the head of navigation of the west branch of the Cooper River; at the colonial town of Dorchester at the head of navigation on the Ashley River; at the Wappataw Meeting House on the headwaters of the Wando River; and at Stono Ferry to control mainland access across the Stono River to Johns Maj.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Donald G. Hapward
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Donald G. Hapward for the Master of Arts (Name of Student) (degree) i.n History presented on Au~ust 4, 1979 (major) (date) Title: The Continental Armx at Morristown: 1779-1780 Abstract Approved: ~~~~ During the American Revolution, the Continental Army regularly went into winter encampments and in the years 1779­ 1780 the encampment was located in Morristown, New Jersey, which was approximately thirty miles west of New York City. This winter hibernation took place from December until the following June. This particular winter was referred to as the "Hard Winter" due to the severity of the weather, which included twenty-two major snowstorms. The colonial troops arrived amidst two feet of snow and immediately set upon construction of the camp. The camp was not fully completed until February, 1780. Morristown was a small, rustic village which the army had used previously for an encampment. It was selected again for numerous reasons: food, water, geographical loca­ tion to New York City, and an area large enough for ten thousand troops. Morristown's approaches were guarded by a ridge of mountains and a swamp. Therefore, the Jockey Hollow area, the location of the troops' encampment, was more than satisfactory to General George Washington. Camp life was dull, tedious, but necessary in order to prepare for the upcoming campaign. The daily routine consisted of drill work, guard duty and other camp duties. The actual number of men who occupied the winter encampment was lower than the records indicate. Enlistments were up and along with desertions and deaths the Army was never sure of its true strength.

    Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776–1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill Tucker F. Hentz 2007 Article citation: Hentz, Tucker F. Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776–1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill. 2007. Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, E259 .H52 2007. http://www.vahistorical.org/research/tann.pdf Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776-1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill Tucker F. Hentz (2007) Details of the origins, formal organization, and service record of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment have defied easy synthesis. Primarily because most of the unit was captured or killed at the battle of Fort Washington on 16 November 1776, the historical trail of the regiment’s “surviving” element has become complex. Modern and contemporaneous accounts of the 1776 New York City Campaign of the War of American Independence convey the impression that the battle marked the end of the regiment as a combat entity. In truth, however, a significant portion of it continued to serve actively in the Continental Army throughout most of the remainder of the war. Adamson Tannehill, a Marylander, was the regiment’s only officer with an uninterrupted service history that extended from the unit’s military roots in mid-1775 until its disbanding in early 1781. His service record thus provided a logical focal point for research that has helped resolve a clearer view of this notable regiment’s heretofore untold history. Antecedents On 14 June 1775 the Continental Congress directed the raising of ten independent companies of riflemen in the Middle Colonies1 as part of the creation of the Continental Army as a national force for opposition to the actions of the British government.
