Dawson, III This dissertation provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War Era. One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

    The Rewards of Risk-Taking: Two Civil War Admirals* 

    The 2014 George C. Marshall Lecture in Military History The Rewards of Risk-Taking: Two Civil War Admirals* James M. McPherson Abstract The willingness to take risks made Rear Admiral David Glasgow Far- ragut, victor at New Orleans in 1862 and Mobile Bay in 1864, the Union’s leading naval commander in the Civil War. Farragut’s boldness contrasted strongly with the lack of decisiveness shown in the failure in April 1863 to seize the port of Charleston, South Carolina, by Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, whose capture of Port Royal Sound in South Carolina in November of 1861 had made him the North’s first naval hero of the war. Du Pont’s indecisiveness at Charleston led to his removal from command and a blighted career, while the risk-taking Farragut went on to become, along with generals U.S. Grant and Wil- liam T. Sherman, one of the principal architects of Union victory. n September 1864 Captain Charles Steedman of the United States Navy praised Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut for his decisive victory over ConfederateI forts and warships in the Battle of Mobile Bay the previous month. “That little man,” wrote Steedman of the wiry Farragut who was actually just * This essay derives from the George C. Marshall Lecture on Military History, delivered on 4 January 2014 at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, Washington, D.C. The Marshall Lecture is sponsored by the Society for Military History and the George C. Marshall Foundation. James M. McPherson earned a Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University in 1963 and from 1962 to 2004 taught at Princeton University, where he is currently the George Henry Davis ’86 Profes- sor of American History Emeritus.

    CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES and PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 12

    CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES AND PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 12 By Damon Veach HISTORIC DESOTO: Northwest Louisiana is sometimes overlooked in the overall picture for historical importance. Natchitoches is usually the most discussed because of its early settlement and being on the edge of “no man’s land.” However, there is more to learn about this area, and a new importance is being placed on this section of the state. DeSoto Parish is located between Caddo and Natchitoches parishes, and it has long been overshadowed by these two areas. That is changing. The resurgence of importance can be attributed to the work of the DeSoto Historical Society and to the recent dedication of the Mansfield Female College, which houses the Veach-Foshee Memorial Library Collection. The official dedication as a museum places it in the forefront of importance now, and with the availability of the research library, DeSoto Parish now stands to be recognized for more than just this museum. It is now a major research center for this part of the state. The Mansfield Female College was the first one established for women west of the Mississippi River, and in addition to the library collection, there are other collections here of importance relating to early life on the campus. The DeSoto society publishes a quarterly DeSoto Plume and has several other publications to their credit. Much can be learned by checking out all their books and newsletters. In addition to its historic homes and building in the downtown section, Mansfield was also the home of several important people.

    The Battles of Mansfield (Sabine Crossroads) and Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, 8 and 9 April 1864

    RICE UNIVERSITY DEAD-END AT THE CROSSROADS: THE BATTLES OF MANSFIELD (SABINE CROSSROADS) AND PLEASANT HILL, LOUISIANA, 8 AND 9 APRIL 1864 by Richard Leslie Riper, Jr. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's Signature Houston, Texas May, 1976 Abstract Dead-End at the Crossroads: The Battles of Mansfield (Sabine Cross¬ roads) and Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, 8 and 9 April 1864 Richard Leslie Riper, Jr. On 8 April 1864 a Union army commanded by Major General Nathaniel P. Banks was defeated by a Confederate army commanded by Major General Richard Taylor at the small town of Mansfield, Louisiana. In Union records the engagement was recorded as the battle of Sabine Crossroads, and the defeat signaled the "high-water mark" for the Union advance toward Shreveport. General Banks, after repeated urging by Major General Henry Hal- leck, General-in-Chief of the Union Army, had launched a drive up the Red River through Alexandria and Natchitoches to capture Shreveport, the industrial hub of the Trans-Mississippi Department. From New Or¬ leans and Berwick, Louisiana, and from Vicksburg, Mississippi, the Fédérais converged on Alexandria. From Little Rock, Arkansas, a Union column under Major General Frederick Steele was to join Banks at Shreve¬ port. Three major infantry forces and the Union Navy under Admiral David D. Porter were to participate in the campaign, yet no one was given supreme authority to coordinate the forces. Halleck's orders were for the separate commands only to co-operate with Banks--a clear viola¬ tion of the principle of unity of command.

Spring 2009 Interview with Dr. Paul D. Escott, Reynolds Professor of History at Wake Forest University Interviewed by Christopher Childers Civil War Book Review (CWBR): Your latest book is titled "What Shall We Do with The Negro?": Lincoln, White Racism, and Civil War America. Now in this book, you attempt to revise what is really a celebratory depiction of Abraham Lincoln as the great emancipator by noting his reticence in many ways to ending the institution of slavery by force. How have historians, in your opinion, erred in chronicling Lincoln's record on the slavery issue? Paul D. Escott (PDE): There is a deep celebratory impulse in American popular culture in terms of the way we view our history. And historians have been emphasizing Lincoln's racial progressivism and racial egalitarianism, overemphasizing it I would say, quite a bit in recent decades. This has not always been the case.
