  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.

  • 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.

Sr 0 47c r i )1; CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRANI W. A. Stokinger A. K. Schroeder Captain A. A. Swanson RESERVATIONS & HISTORIC SITES METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COMMISSION 20 SOMERSET STREET BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS April 1990 ABSTRACT Camp Meigs or the Camp at Readville was the most heavily used of the approximately thirty-nine Civil War training grounds established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the processing of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia (MVM) troops for induction into Federal service. Situated adjacent to the Neponset river on a site historically used for militia musters in what was the town of Dedham (now Hyde Park), a camp of rendezvous was first founded near the Readville railroad junction in July 1861 and remained in active service through early 1866. This camp supported over time the Commonwealth's primary training cantonment and a general hospital. During those Civil War years the Readville camps processed and trained at least 29,000 of the 114,000 men who served in the units raised by the Commonwealth. Thus, approximately a quarter of all men serving under Massachusetts state colors passed through Readville on their way to war. Preliminary research also indicates that of the 135 discrete, independently operating MVM organizations sanctioned and trained by the Commonwealth, Readville's graduates were allocated into at least 54 units, or forty percent of all MVM establishments, comprising: Nineteen of the Commonwealth's sixty-six camp trained MVM Infantry regiments.

Spring 2017 Egerton, Douglas R. Thunder at the Gates: The Black Civil War Regiments That Redeemed America. Basic Books, $32.00 ISBN 9780465096640 Passing the Military Test Professional historians have produced a steady flow of books about United States Colored Troops (USCT) in recent years. It is well known that African American soldiers played an unforgettable role in helping to defeat the Confederate States, thereby guaranteeing the preservation of the Union. Doubtless, the Civil War was a transformative event in the nation’s history, which ultimately brought about freedom for the slaves. In a real sense, Douglas R. Egerton’s book, Thunder at the Gates is a biographical study of the three black Massachusetts regiments of the Civil War: the 54th, the 55th, and the 5th Cavalry. By focusing on only three units, the author is able to provide the reader with a close up view of the regiments in all of their military dimensions. Egerton meticulously chronicles the recruitment, organization, and performance of these units. While the officers of the Massachusetts regiments are not ignored, this volume is foremost about the rank and file members of the units.
