  • Fort Jackson (1808 – 1861)
    General History of Fort Jackson To understand the history of Fort Jackson, we must realize that the land surrounding the fort today is far different from what it was when European first saw the Savannah River. The river flowed through many marshy fields resembling a flat plain. The appearance of the area caused the founder of Georgia, General James Edward Oglethorpe, to name the river and town “Savannah,” meaning a treeless plain or relatively flat, open region. When early Indians built large ceremonial mounds near the river, they could not find dry land to build on closer than a mile from the river. One set of these mounds was located about 1600 yards southwest of the future site of Fort Jackson. No doubt General Oglethorpe noticed these mounds as he searched for high ground for his settlement in 1733. As the river flowed around present-day Hutchinson’s Island, the two channels rejoined north of a small clay island which rose just a few feet above the water at high tide. The convergence of these channels created a deepening to about 30 feet, more than ten feet deeper than normal. This part of the river became known as Five Fathom Hole. A few years later, an illiterate brick mason named Thomas Salter chose a site for a brickyard three miles east of the city on the south bank of the Savannah River where he hoped to earn a good living making bricks for housing foundations. The spot he chose was actually the small clay island. The brick-making trade was one of intense hand labor and has not changed in hundreds of years.

    COMMANDANT'S ANNUAL REPORT 1961 ... 1962 The Judge Advocate General's School United States Army Charlottesville, Virginia FOREWORD It is with great pleasure and much satisfaction that I present the Commandant's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1962. Al­ though this represents the first report of this type published by The Judge Advocate General's School, it is intended that it become an integral feature in chronicling the continuing development of the Army's military law center. The report has a three-fold purpose: --- 1. To summarize the operations of the School during the past fiscal year. ---------2. To preserve in printed form a record of the School, its staff and faculty, students, and enlisted personnel. ~ To describe the various courses of instruction offered at - The Judge Advocate General's School. ThiE report reflects continued progress on the part of The Judge Advocate General's School. The value of any educational institution, however, is measured by how well it prepares its student body for the roles which await them upon graduation. Accordingly, our goal, as in the past, is to increase and make more effective our services to the Army by thorough preparation of officers for service in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. JOHN F.

  • Civil War Forts in Arlington by C
    Civil War Forts in Arlington By C. B. RosE, JR. When the fall of Fort Sumter on April 14, 186!, made it clear that an armed struggle between North and South could be avoided no longer, it was obvious that the City of Washington would be in a difficult position. There was little doubt that Virginia would follow her southern sister States and secede from the Union. Thus a hostile shore would face the Northern Capital, which lacked any strong natural defenses. For political as well as military reasons it was of prime importance to the Federal Government to secure its capital from attack. Since the Executive Mansion and many Government buildings were exposed to artillery fire from the heights on the Virginia side of the Potomac, it was essential to retain that comm anding position in Fed­ eral hands. Arlington Heights in turn had to be protected from attack. This entailed the construction south of the Potomac of an elaborate system of defenses, most of which lay within what is now Arlington County. Alexandria was seized by Northern forces partly because of its command of the Potomac and partly because of its connection with the railroad system to the south. This occupation called for a further fortification system which was not strictly part of the defenses of Washington and which is not considered here in detail. In the month which intervened between the action of the Virginia Con­ vention on secession and the ratification of this action by the people of Vir­ ginia on May 23, 1861, the only step taken by the defenders of Washington was a limited, surreptitious reconnaissance of the areas around the Virginia ends of the Aqueduct and Long Bridges.
