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.

    James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg

    “Such a night is seldom experienced…” James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg Karlton Smith, Gettysburg NMP After the repulse of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s Assault on July 3, 1863, Gen. Robert E. Lee, commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, knew that the only option left for him at Gettysburg was to try to disengage from his lines and return with his army to Virginia. Longstreet, commander of the army’s First Corps and Lee’s chief lieutenant, would play a significant role in this retrograde movement. As a preliminary to the general withdrawal, Longstreet decided to pull his troops back from the forward positions gained during the fighting on July 2. Lt. Col. G. Moxley Sorrel, Longstreet’s adjutant general, delivered the necessary orders to Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, commanding one of Longstreet’s divisions. Sorrel offered to carry the order to Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law, commanding John B. Hood’s division, on McLaws’s right. McLaws raised objections to this order. He felt that his advanced position was important and “had been won after a deadly struggle; that the order was given no doubt because of [George] Pickett’s repulse, but as there was no pursuit there was no necessity of it.” Sorrel interrupted saying: “General, there is no discretion allowed, the order is for you to retire at once.” Gen. James Longstreet, C.S.A. (LOC) As McLaws’s forward line was withdrawing to Warfield and Seminary ridges, the Federal batteries on Little Round Top opened fire, “but by quickening the pace the aim was so disturbed that no damage was done.” McLaws’s line was followed by “clouds of skirmishers” from the Federal Army of the Potomac; however, after reinforcing his own skirmish line they were driven back from the Peach Orchard area.

The parties’ dispute arose when the County attempted to prosecute P.T.S., a minor and enrolled member of the Tribe, for acts that occurred within Tract D.

Berkley Caliber, 978-0-425-23421-1 ISBN 978-0-425-23421-1 Bonds of Brotherhood Tom Carhart, himself a West Point graduate and twice-wounded Vietnam veteran, has written a new study of the famous West Point Classes of 1860 and 1861. Carhart chooses to focus on four notable graduates from the Classes of 1861 (Henry Algernon DuPont, John Pelham, Thomas Lafayette Rosser, and George Armstrong Custer), and two from the Class of 1860 (Wesley Merritt and Stephen Dodson Ramseur). Carhart focuses on the close bonds formed between these cadets at West Point, which persisted even after the division of both the nation and the antebellum U.S. Army officer corps during the Civil War. He starts his narrative with a shared (and illicit) drinking party at Benny’s Haven, a nearby tavern and bane of the humorless guardians of cadet discipline at what is sometimes now not-so-fondly described as the South Hudson Institute of Technology.

    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.
