Armstrong Commander-in-Chief 2003-2004 Kent L. Armstrong was elected to serve as the 117th Commander-in- Chief of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) at the organization's 122nd National Encampment, held at Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky on August 7 - 10, 2003. He is the fifth Commander-in-Chief elected from the Department of Michigan since the SUVCW was organized in 1881. Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) Armstrong was born in St. Johns, Michigan on October 12, 1951, the elder of two sons (Kent and Kirk) born to Jessie E. ("Pat") Patterson Armstrong and the late Woodrow Wilson ("Woody") Armstrong. A life-long resident of DeWitt, Michigan, C-in-C Armstrong is a graduate of DeWitt High School and Michigan State University. His interest in the "War of the Rebellion" began at an early age, when the centennial observances of the American Civil War began in 1961. Some of his favorite memories are those made during his first trip to Gettysburg at age 13. Brother Armstrong learned of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) through his own community's history (the George W. Anderson GAR Post 58 having been organized at DeWitt in 1882. George Anderson was a DeWitt resident who marched off to war with the 23rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Private Anderson was taken prisoner at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee in December of 1863 and later died of starvation at the Andersonville prison in Georgia where he rests in grave number 2546 of the National Cemetery there. Thus, when 24 Union veterans who lived in or near DeWitt chartered their own Post of the iii GAR, they named it in honor of Anderson's memory in the community. George Anderson's former home in DeWitt still stands on property that is immediately adjacent to Brother Armstrong's residence. Brother Armstrong joined the SUVCW through the Governor Austin Blair Camp 7 in Jackson, Michigan in 1992. His eligibility is through his Great, Great Grandfather, John Tait, who served as a Sergeant in Company G of the 24th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Sgt. Tait was killed-in-action on April 30, 1863 during the Chancellorsville Campaign and is buried in grave number 2162 at the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. To help honor the memory of his ancestor's regiment, Brother Armstrong garnered the cooperation of his state legislature in 1993 to name Highway U.S.-12 (in Michigan) as the "Iron Brigade Memorial Highway." The legislation also directed the state Department of Transportation to provide signage along the roadway (the route of U.S.- 12 links the home states of the Iron Brigade's infantry regiments – 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin; 19th Indiana; and 24th Michigan). The States of Indiana and Wisconsin have made similar designations for U.S.-12 and it is hoped that the State of Illinois will also do so in recognition of an Iron Brigade regiment (24th Michigan) having led the military Honor Guard of President Lincoln's funeral in Springfield. Brother Armstrong submitted a design proposal for a special historical marker (honoring the Iron Brigade and 24th Michigan Infantry) to be installed at the I-94 Welcome Center near the western end of U.S.-12 in Michigan. Once approved, installation and a dedication ceremony took place in October of 1994. A similar marker was installed and dedicated in 1995 at the eastern end of U.S.-12 in downtown Detroit, on the site where the 24th Michigan Infantry received its regimental flag before marching off to war in 1862. Another 1995 project for Brother Armstrong was to gain permission to organize a new local chapter of the SUVCW to serve Clinton County, Michigan. The Camp opened in July, with fifteen Charter Members, Kent being elected as Commander. The new Camp (George W. Anderson, 58) was named and numbered in honor of DeWitt, Michigan's GAR Post. During Kent's terms as Michigan's Junior and Senior Vice Department Commander, he organized eight more Camps and was recognized two years consecutively for having recruited the most new Brothers into the Order, nationally. He also served as Michigan's first Department Civil War Memorials Officer. Brother Armstrong was elected to two terms as Department Commander and served as a co- organizer of the National Encampment that was hosted by the iv Department of Michigan in 2000. Brother Armstrong became a Life Member (#426) of the National Organization, SUVCW in 1996. He approached the National leadership that year with the idea of a special committee, tasked with the coordination of inspecting and recording the condition of GAR Monuments and other Civil War related memorials across the country. Attention would then be focused on securing repair or restoration of those memorials found to be in immediate need.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by CHARLES CARLETON COFFIN, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of Massachusetts. University Press: Welch, Bigelow, and Company, Cambridge. PREFACE. TT will be many years before a complete history -*- of the operations of the armies of the Union can be written ; but that is not a sufficient reason why historical pictures may not now be painted from such materials as have come to hand. This volume, therefore, is a sketch of the operations of the Army of the Potomac from August, 1861, to November, 1862, while commanded by Gener- al McOlellan. To avoid detail, the organization of the army is given in an Appendix. It has not been possible, in a book of this size, to give the movements of regiments ; but the narrative has been limited to the operations of brigades and di- visions. It will be comparatively easy, however, for the reader to ascertain the general position of any regiment in the different battles, by con- sulting the Appendix in connection with the narrative.

  • View to the Quiet of His Rural Home
    94 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. A FORGOTTEN PATRIOT. BY HENRY S. N0UU8E. OF self-sacrificing patriots who in troublous times have proved themselves worthy the lasting gratitude of the com- monwealth, very many have found no biographer ; but none seem more completely forgotten, even in the towns of which they were once the ruling spirits, than the officers who led the Massachusetts yeomanry during those tedious campaigns of the French and Indian War, which awoke the British colonies to consciousness of their strength and thereby hastened the founding of the Republic. A few in- cidents in the honorable career of one of these unremem- bered patriots—one whom perhaps diffidence only, pre- vented from being a very conspicuous figure in the battles for independence—I have brought together, and offer as faint, unsatisfying outlines of an eventful and useful life. In "Appleton's Cyclopœdia of American Biography," published in 1889, twenty-two lines are given to General John Whitcomb, nearly every date and statement in which is erroneous. It is alleged therein that he was born "about 1720, and died in 1812"; and the brief narrative is embel- lished with a romantic tale wholly borrowed from the mili- tary experience of a younger brother. Colonel Asa Whitcomb. Biographical notes in volumes XII. and XVIII. of the Essex Institute Historical Collections perpetuate like errors of date. Even in the most voluminous histories of the building of the Eepublic, this general's name is barely, or not at all mentioned.

  • Alan Turing's Automatic Computing Engine
    5 Turing and the computer B. Jack Copeland and Diane Proudfoot The Turing machine In his first major publication, ‘On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem’ (1936), Turing introduced his abstract Turing machines.1 (Turing referred to these simply as ‘computing machines’— the American logician Alonzo Church dubbed them ‘Turing machines’.2) ‘On Computable Numbers’ pioneered the idea essential to the modern computer—the concept of controlling a computing machine’s operations by means of a program of coded instructions stored in the machine’s memory. This work had a profound influence on the development in the 1940s of the electronic stored-program digital computer—an influence often neglected or denied by historians of the computer. A Turing machine is an abstract conceptual model. It consists of a scanner and a limitless memory-tape. The tape is divided into squares, each of which may be blank or may bear a single symbol (‘0’or‘1’, for example, or some other symbol taken from a finite alphabet). The scanner moves back and forth through the memory, examining one square at a time (the ‘scanned square’). It reads the symbols on the tape and writes further symbols. The tape is both the memory and the vehicle for input and output. The tape may also contain a program of instructions. (Although the tape itself is limitless—Turing’s aim was to show that there are tasks that Turing machines cannot perform, even given unlimited working memory and unlimited time—any input inscribed on the tape must consist of a finite number of symbols.) A Turing machine has a small repertoire of basic operations: move left one square, move right one square, print, and change state.

  • Notf-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS and PRIVATES
    JOURNAL-HISTORY OF THE SEVEMTY-THIRD OHIO VOLUNTEER BY SAMUEL H HUKST LATE COMMANDER OF THE REGIMENT. CHILLICOTHE, OHIO: 1866. THIS volume has been prepared at the request of the Officers and Men of the Regiment whose history it attempts to record. Doubtless it has many errors and imperfections. The history of a regiment is so completely interwoven with the history of its brigade, division, corps, and army, that a general view of the movements of all is necessary to a just appreciation of the part borne by a single battalion. The writer presents the result of his labors, to the members and friends of the regiment, with the hope that it will be a val­ uable record. CONTENTS. Organization of the Regiment, 9 Ordered to the Field, H Forced Marches on Romney and Moorfield, 12 Return to, and Encampment at, Clarksburg, 14 Change of Position to Weston, 15 March across the Mountains, 15 Battle at McDowell, 17 Position at Franklin, 20 The Army of the Mountains, 21 Battle of Cross Keys, 24 Return to Strasburg, 24 Encampment at Middleton, 25 Crossing the Blue Ridge, 26 Camp Life at Sperryville, 27 Battle of Cedar Mountain, 2t The Rapidan and the Rappahannock, 3Q Battle of Freeman's Ford, 31 Artillery Duels,.., 3t Vi CONTENTS.
