2020 Annual Conference Announcement 2 Coast Defense Study Group St. Babs XXXVIII The Defenses of New Orleans and the Lower of the Mississippi River, November 4-8, 2020 170 Days Out This is the official registration form for the conference to explore the defensive fortifications that once protected the city of New Orleans. Weather, budget priorities of site owners and managers, and time have impacted the coast and harbor defenses of what was one of America’s most fortified cities. When next we visit some years hence, we can expect further deterioration of these important historical coast defense structures. The conference will visit eight locations over five days to explore the remains of the masonry forts (and some Endicott/Taft concrete) representing the colonial ambitions of Spain and France, and the desire of the US government to protect the entrance of the most important river system on the continent. The forts on the itinerary span 65 years of seacoast defense construction. As of this writing, we have 41 hardy adventurers registered for the conference. They, and perhaps you, will benefit from access to sites difficult to visit on your own or under private ownership. Four of the fortifications (Pike, Macomb, Bienvenue, and Livingston) are controlled by the Louisiana Office of State Parks. They are closed to the public, but we have coordinated with parks program management for access. Fort St. Philip and Proctor’s Tower are in private hands; but again, we have coordinated for access. Although closed, Fort Jackson is a part of the Plaquemine Parish park system, and we have arranged for entry. Fort Massachusetts is an element of the NPS Gulf Shores National Seashore and open to the public. Readiness for the environment in southeastern Louisiana is important. These forts are old. Regardless of how well built, structural decay is evident in fortifications built in the first half of the 19th century. Even in November in the subtropical climate of southeastern Louisiana aggressive vegetation, insects, reptiles, and standing water will be present. Four of the sites are reached only by water transportation. Health and safety are important issues. Proper clothing is essential, and rubber boots, gloves, and insect repellent will be prudent. The conference hotel is the Comfort Inn & Suites Metairie, 2601 Severn Avenue, Metairie, LA 70002. This hotel, near Louis Armstrong International Airport, is a quality facility with a good room price, central to fortification sites, and has an on-site meeting room and banquet facilities. The group rate for single/double occupancy room is $109 a day, plus applicable taxes, and includes free breakfast, complementary parking, and free WIFI. To reserve a room, call the hotel reservation desk at 1-800-277-7575 and ask for the Coast Defense Study Group rate. The hotel reservation cutoff date for the CDSG rate is October 1, 2020. Reservations received after that date will be taken on a space available basis. For questions of the hotel sales and marketing department, contact Ken Jenkins, director of sales, 504-526-4597, [email protected]. The conference schedule is below. Estimated shared conference costs include four box lunches, four days of water transportation, the group dinner, daily handouts, and miscellaneous costs. These costs will vary, especially for boats, depending on the number of attendees, so we have not yet arrived at the final cost. We do request that each member or guest pay $225 to reserve a place at St. Babs XXXVIII. This price will be adjusted upward somewhat based on the cost of water transportation. We will adjust the cost for each attendee at the conference once we have the final numbers. Please complete the registration form below. Presentations will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. With so much history in the lower Mississippi, we have engaged several local historians to tell us about it. Topics include the Chalmette National Battlefield (the Battle of New Orleans), the history of Jackson Barracks, and other episodes in the military history of New Orleans. A Louisiana Office of State Parks representative will discuss efforts to preserve these historic fortifications. In the interest of proper rest and relaxation and considering the extensive driving required to visit the historic sites, nightly presentations are scheduled to end at 10pm. The traditional back-of-the-room Coast Defense Material Sale will occur during evening presentations. The CDSG Annual Meeting and Group Dinner will be held on Saturday, November 7. The conference will end on Sunday, November 8 at 3pm. This conference will provide an opportunity to see hard-to-access historic forts, listen to subject matter experts tell us about them, hang out with fellow CDSG members, and learn more about the defense of one of the most historic cities in the United States. St. Babs XXXVIII will enable attendees to renew friendships and reconnect with the fort nerds who have extensive knowledge of all aspects of American seacoast defense. It is not to be missed.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

    BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE WEST: A PROUD TRADITION During the Civil War over 180,000 Black Americans served in the Union Army and Navy. More than 33,000 died. After the war, the future of black men in the nation’s military was in doubt. In 1866, however, Congress authorized black Americans to serve in the peacetime army of the United States in segregated units mostly commanded by white officers. Two cavalry and four infantry regiments were created and designated the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments. In 1869, Congress enacted a troop reduction and consolidation leading to the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments being re- designated as the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments. The four remaining regiments, the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments would become known as the “Buffalo Soldiers.” During the 19th century, Buffalo Soldiers served in Arizona, California, Colorado, the Dakotas, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. In Arizona they garrisoned such posts s as Fort Apache, Fort Bowie, Fort Grant, Fort Huachuca, Fort Verde, and Fort Whipple. Fort Huachuca enjoys the distinction of being the only military installation having served as home to each of the four Buffalo Soldier regiments at one time or another. Buffalo Soldiers played a major role in the settlement and development of the American West. They performed such duties as guarding and delivering the mail as well as escorting and or guarding stagecoaches, railroad crews, and surveyors. They built roads and telegraph lines, mapped and explored the territories and provided security for westward expansion.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • Playing the Big Easy: a History of New Orleans in Film and Television
    PLAYING THE BIG EASY: A HISTORY OF NEW ORLEANS IN FILM AND TELEVISION Robert Gordon Joseph A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Cynthia Baron, Advisor Marlise Lonn Graduate Faculty Representative Clayton Rosati Andrew Schocket © 2018 Robert Joseph All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Cynthia Baron, Advisor Existing cultural studies scholarship on New Orleans explores the city’s exceptional popular identity, often focusing on the origins of that exceptionality in literature and the city’s twentieth century tourism campaigns. This perceived exceptionality, though originating from literary sources, was perpetuated and popularized in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries by film and television representations. As Hollywood’s production standards evolved throughout the twentieth century, New Orleans’ representation evolved with it. In each filmmaking era, representations of New Orleans reflected not only the production realities of that era, but also the political and cultural debates surrounding the city. In the past two decades, as the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the passage of film tax credits by the Louisiana Legislature increased New Orleans’ profile, these debates have been more present and driven by New Orleans’ filmed representations. Using the theoretical framework of Guy Debord’s spectacle and the methodology of New Film History and close “to the background” textual analysis, this study undertakes an historical overview of New Orleans’ representation in film and television. This history starts in the era of Classical Hollywood (1928-1947) and continues through Transitional Hollywood (1948-1966), New Hollywood (1967-1975), and the current Age of the Blockbuster (1975-).
