Lonely Sentinel
Lonely Sentinel Fort Aubrey and the Defense of the Kansas Frontier, 1864-1866 Defending the Fort: Indians attack a U.S. Cavalry post in the 1870s (colour litho), Schreyvogel, Charles (1861-1912) / Private Collection / Peter Newark Military Pictures / Bridgeman Images Darren L. Ivey History 533: Lost Kansas Communities Chapman Center for Rural Studies Kansas State University Dr. M. J. Morgan Fall 2015 This study examines Fort Aubrey, a Civil War-era frontier post in Syracuse Township, Hamilton County, and the men who served there. The findings are based upon government and archival documents, newspaper and magazine articles, personal reminiscences, and numerous survey works written on the subjects of the United States Army and the American frontier. Map of Kansas featuring towns, forts, trails, and landmarks. SOURCE: Kansas Historical Society. Note: This 1939 map was created by George Allen Root and later reproduced by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. The original drawing was compiled by Root and delineated by W. M. Hutchinson using information provided by the Kansas Historical Society. Introduction By the summer of 1864, Americans had been killing each other on an epic scale for three years. As the country tore itself apart in a “great civil war,” momentous battles were being waged at Mansfield, Atlanta, Cold Harbor, and a host of other locations. These killing grounds would become etched in history for their tales of bravery and sacrifice, but, in the West, there were only sporadic clashes between Federal and Confederate forces. Encounters at Valverde in New Mexico Territory, Mine Creek in Linn County, Kansas, and Sabine Pass in Texas were the exception rather than the norm. -
A Student's Guide to the Tennessee
The MembersA of theStudent’s Senate Guide to the Tennessee Senate 2013 Edition Welcome to the Tennessee Senate. Thank you for your interest in your government. My name is Ron Ramsey. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. I have this job because a majority of my fellow senators voted for me to be their leader, or “Speaker.” Unlike many other states, Tennessee’s Lieutenant Governor is also head of its Senate. My duties as both Speaker of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor keep me very busy. However, because I am a state Senator, my job is officially part-time. Having a part-time legislature is good because it allows elected officials to spend time living and working under the laws they make and with the people they represent. When the legislature is not in session I run a real estate and auction business with my wife, Sindy, in my hometown of Blountville, which is right on the border between Virginia and Tennessee. It is a wonderful town and I am glad to be able to spend time there when the legislature is not in session. If you visit the Capitol on a day when the legislature is in session, you will see me presiding over the Senate. I have a gavel, and I do my best to keep Senate sessions moving along quickly and efficiently so my members can get back home to their families and businesses. I also make all of the Senate’s committee assignments. Much of the Senate’s work goes on in committees so it is important to have the right people working on the right issues. -

Statement of William D. Shaddox, Acting Associate
STATEMENT OF WILLIAM D. SHADDOX, ACTING ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR PARK PLANNING, FACILITIES, AND LANDS, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE SENATE ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS CONCERNING S. 544, A BILL TO AUTHORIZE A STUDY OF ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMEMORATING AND INTERPRETING THE ROLE OF THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE NATIONAL PARKS. October 19, 2011 Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present the Department of the Interior’s views on S. 544, to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of alternatives for commemorating and interpreting the role of the Buffalo Soldiers in the early years of the national parks, and for other purposes. The Department supports S. 544. However, we feel that priority should be given to the 37 previously authorized studies for potential units of the National Park System, potential new National Heritage Areas, and potential additions to the National Trails System and National Wild and Scenic River System that have not yet been transmitted to Congress. S. 544 would authorize a study to determine the most effective ways to increase understanding and public awareness of the critical role that the Buffalo Soldiers, segregated units composed of African-American cavalrymen, played in the early years of the National Parks. It would evaluate the suitability and feasibility of a National Historic Trail along the routes between their post at the Presidio of San Francisco and the parks they protected, notably Yosemite and Sequoia. The study would also identify properties that could meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or designation as National Historic Landmarks. -

I hope you enjoy your visit and the opportunity to witness the building’s beauty and history. Upon its original completion, this Capitol was considered one of the most magnificent public buildings in the country. Interestingly, the facility has served as the seat of Tennessee State Government since that time and remains a source of pride for our citizens today. Visitors from around the world come to Nashville to tour the grounds and legislative chambers. Utilized since 1853, our Senate Chamber’s significance exceeds the beauty of the walls surrounding it. The chamber, as a forum for debate and discussion, epitomizes our democracy; speeches delivered here have resonated well beyond the upstairs gallery ushering change to the entire country. -
