Published Monthly in the Interest of Confederate Veterans and Kindred Topics Page 1 of 127 Confederate Veterans May 1909 Created by Margie Daniels PUBLISHED MONTHLY IN THE INTEREST OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND KINDRED TOPICS MAY, 1909 Entered at the post office at Nashville, Tenn., as second class matter. Contributors are requested to use only one side of the paper, and to abbreviate as much as practicable. These suggestions are important. Where clippings are sent copy should be kept, as the VETERAN cannot undertake to return them. Advertising rates furnished on application The date to a subscription is always given to the month before it ends. For Instance, if the VETERAN is ordered to begin with January, the date on mail list will be December, and the subscriber is entitled to that number. The civil war was too long ago to be called the late war, and when correspondents use that term " War between the States" will be substituted. The terms "New South" and " lost cause" are objectionable to the VETERAN. OFFICIALLY REPRESENTS UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY SONS OF VETERANS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, CONFEDERATED SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION The VETERAN is approved and indorsed officially by a larger and m elevated patronage, doubtless, than any other publication in existence. Though men deserve, they may not win success, The brave will honor the brave, vanquished none the less. PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR. SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS. VOL. XVII. NASHVILLE, TENN., MAY, 1909. No. 5 { S. A. CUNNINGHAM,CV { PROPRIETOR. Page 2 of 127 Confederate Veterans May 1909 Created by Margie Daniels SENDING SAMPLE COPIES TO FRIENDS. The editor would like to know how it is that many personal friends who are in sympathy with the purposes of the VETERAN do not more generally subscribe for it. A multitude of such persons are unstinted when they have opportunity to show themselves friendly. Many of them would not hesitate to the amount of several years' subscriptions, and yet they do not order the publication that they would enjoy and which would enable them to keep in touch with the noblest men and women living. The proprietor has never solicited a subscription directly, and does not expect to do so. Of this issue a thousand copies or more will be sent to persons whose patronage would be gratefully appreciated, including many pleasant acquaintances in addition to personal friends. After reading to hand to others would in most instances be appreciated. OFFICIAL NOTICE OF THE REUNION HEADQUARTERS UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS NEW ORLEANS, LA., February l, 1909. GENERAL ORDERS No. 5. 1. The General Commanding announces that, according to the custom heretofore in force, which leaves to the General Commanding and the Department Commanders the fixing of the date of the Reunion, the nineteenth annual Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held in the city of Memphis, Tenn., on June 8, 9, 10, 1909, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, respectively, those days having been named by our host as satisfactory. For the fifth time in the brief life of this order the people of Tennessee throw open their doors and invite the survivors of the glorious armies of the Confederacy to partake of their hospitality, while the noble and patriotic citizens of Memphis a second time beg the wearers of the gray to be their guests. They promise that this second welcome to their homes and hearts shall far exceed the grand reception given eight years ago. No city in the South has shown such marked advances in every respect in so short a period of time, and while the cordiality of the present entertainment will be on a broader and wider basis, commensurate with her enlarged condition and greater commercial importance, it will not be, cannot be, more hearty or enthusiastic. II. The General Commanding with much pleasure announces, at the request of its most energetic President, Mrs. W. J. Behan, that the Confederated Southern Memorial Association will hold its meeting at the same time. III. The General Commanding sincerely hopes that the press of the entire country will endeavor to stir up interest in the coming meeting, and to this end he requests that this order be published and editorial comment made thereon. CLEMENT A. EVANS, General Commanding. WM. E. MICKLE, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. CV Page 3 of 127 Confederate Veterans May 1909 Created by Margie Daniels JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME SECURED BY CAPT. JOHN H. LEATHERS, LOUISVILLE, KY. The Jefferson Davis Home at Fairview, Christian and Todd Counties, Ky., comprising about sixteen acres of beautiful land, has been bought and paid for in cash. The acquisition of the property has been made possible by a generous Kentucky Confederate advancing a large part of the money needed to pay the cash for the property, and it now belongs to the Jefferson Davis Home Association. It remains for the people of the South to furnish the funds. to erect a fitting memorial to the exalted name and services of a man who deserves the love and affection of the Southern people. Mr. Davis stood for constitutional liberty for which the very flower of the youth of the South poured out their blood on a thousand battlefields, and their survivors and their descendants should see to it that there is erected to Mr. Davis's memory on the soil where he first saw the light a tribute to his sacrifices and sufferings and labors for the land, and the people he loved. The great North and the great West will see to it that a large fund is poured out freely to appropriately honor the name and fame of Abraham Lincoln at his birthplace. The South alone by voluntary subscription must furnish the money to equally honor our beloved President. Let every Camp of Confederate Veterans, every Camp of Sons of Veterans, every Chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy, and every patriotic Southern man and woman take some part in this noble work. We now own his birthplace, and we want $50,000, and will get it, to erect a fitting memorial to Jefferson Davis. A list of subscribers will be published monthly in the CONFEDERATE VETERAN. Send subscriptions to the Treasurer at Louisville, Ky., or, if more convenient, to the CONFEDERATE VETERAN at Nashville, and a beautiful certificate of membership in the Jefferson Davis Home Association will be promptly forwarded to you. The sooner the money is raised, the sooner the memorial will be erected. JEFFERSON DAVIS'S BIRTHPLACE SECURED The VETERAN is pleased to announce to the people of the South that the birthplace of Jefferson Davis has been secured for the purpose of erecting on it a suitable memorial to that great and good man, and that what the North has done for Mr. Lincoln's birthplace the South may do for Mr. Davis's. The VETERAN has worked without stint for the consummation of this object, and its editor attended the first meeting of the Orphan Brigade, in which the project was promulgated, nineteen months ago. General Buckner and his associates took up the project promptly and secured the cooperation of other friends in Kentucky, and a corporation was organizedCV to secure and hold the land necessary for the consummation of Page 4 of 127 Confederate Veterans May 1909 Created by Margie Daniels the plan. The conception of this most worthy object was by Dr. C. C. Brown, now of Bowling Green, Ky. Options were taken by the late W. B. Brewer April 27, 1908, good for one year. The early responses to the call for funds to purchase the required ground in Fairview, mainly in Todd County, on the line of Christian County, were not sufficient to give the management of the enterprise any great hope, but sentiment has grown rapidly. In the March VETERAN Gen. Bennett H. Young prepared a call which gave renewed impetus to the movement, and there has been collected about $3,000. The options could not be extended, however, and it looked as if the enterprise, on the plan espoused, would fail. Seven thousand dollars was the least that would buy the land. Great hearted and prosperous Gen, Bennett H. Young offered to advance the amount required to secure the five blocks of land in Fairview needed to assure sufficient space for all purposes. The erection of a memorial hall or suitable monument and park area was thus secured. General Young and Mr. Cunningham went to Fairview and closed the options, making the payments and taking deeds to about seventeen acres of land, which, as stated, is sufficient for the objects of the corporation. Friends there took the most active interest in behalf of the Association purchases, At seven o'clock in the morning the representatives of the Jefferson Davis Home Association had driven to Fairview from Hopkinsville over a delightful turnpike, and at once began the preparation of the papers. W, B. Reeves, Jr., an attorney of the Association, drove over from Elkton, the county seat of Todd County, and certified that the titles were all right. The property of Dr. C. B. Woosley, containing nine acres with a handsome two story house, was the first parcel conveyed. General Young laid down a $5,000 package of legal tender, and the Doctor executed and delivered the first deed which made the memorial a success General Young, with the assistance of Mr. Reeves, soon wrote and had signed all conveyances, and by ten o'clock the routine work was completed, and the birthplace of Jefferson Davis was secured for public use. The loyal friends in Fairview, Dr. S. E. Stuart, Messrs. Wiles, Vaughan, Yancey, and others, were overjoyed at the outcome, many of the people in the village having predicted that the efforts would end in failure.

  • Your Inbox Is Probably Jammed Full of These Emails, but for What It's Worth, I'm Also Lending My Voice
    From: Athena Brown To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Confederate statues Date: Saturday, September 30, 2017 7:40:55 PM Your inbox is probably jammed full of these emails, but for what it's worth, I'm also lending my voice. Please do not allow an Orwellian "memory-hole" to be created. American history needs to be acknowledged -- all parts, good, bad, and the controversial. Please keep all statues and commemorations where they are, and free from vandalizing. From: Jay Willis To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Fwd: Jefferson Davis Highway monuments Date: Monday, October 02, 2017 10:30:15 AM Hello, My name is Jay Willis and I live in Battle Ground. I, like most Americans, am totally against the march to change history by the removal of any historic monuments. What are we becoming, the Taliban? We cannot judge the past actions of the famous but always flawed founders of this nation by the current PC madness. Those were different times and most folks today only have a soundbite taste of propaganda history instead of even looking into all the facts. To appease all the offended, we need to change the name of Washington State and I am sure that there is offensive dirt to be found when researching, Clark, Vancouver or any place and figure in the NW. Historical monuments prompt those truly interested in the facts to delve deeper into history. When you try to change history future generations are not able to learn anything from it, but I suppose that is the point of the current PC madness. The fact that Jefferson Davis lived and had a national highway system installed in order to honor his many accomplishments and to bring reconciliation to the differences between the North and South are facts that should not be hidden.

  • T. HARDY MORRIS to RELEASE the DIGITAL AGE of ROME JUNE 25Th VIA the NEW WEST RECORDS IMPRINT NORMALTOWN RECORDS
    T. HARDY MORRIS TO RELEASE THE DIGITAL AGE OF ROME JUNE 25th VIA THE NEW WEST RECORDS IMPRINT NORMALTOWN RECORDS SPIN PREMIERES “THE DIGITAL AGE OF ROME” VIDEO TODAY T. Hardy Morris is set to return with The Digital Age of Rome on June 25th via the New West Records imprint Normaltown Records. The 10-song set was produced by Adam Landry (Deer Tick, Rayland Baxter) and mixed by engineer Nate Nelson. It follows the Diamond Rugs and Dead Confederate member’s 2018 acclaimed Dude, The Obscure, which Pitchfork said "may be Morris' best record; it's certainly his most complex and compelling statement" and "it's sharp focus is refreshing," while AllMusic said, “Morris takes his ambitions skyward, infusing a joyous psychedelia into the mix…” After touring Dude, The Obscure, Morris had 13 new songs demoed for a new album. He was excited to get his band together to rehearse the songs before hunkering down in the studio to record...then the pandemic hit. Sequestered at his Athens, GA home with his family, Morris, like most everyone else in the past year, mulled over what was truly important to him and in response, crafted an entirely new set of songs. Enlisting a group of musicians including Drive-By Truckers drummer Brad Morgan, singer-songwriter Faye Webster and many others, Morris pulled no punches with his mesmerizing lyrics and hazy brand of southern glam rock. Looking directly inward and captivated by the sobering realities of the pandemic, Morris has composed one of his most personal works yet. He tackles the well-worn anxieties of the past year as pandemic and political divisions ravaged America.

  • Historian Gaines Foster Asserts
    White gloves or White supremacy? The Lost Cause as a Palatable Counter Movement to Civil Rights: The 1964 Erection of the Jefferson Davis Statue in Memphis, Tennessee Anna Lynn Alexander Historian Gaines Foster asserts, The New South of the twentieth century remained a land haunted by the ghosts of the Confederacy. The ghosts had helped make it a conservative, deferential society; they had contributed to an unquestioning patriotism and respect for the military. Sometimes they had supported the cause of reaction. They were not ancestral spirits who exercised constant or crucial influence, however. Rather, they were phantoms called forth from time to time by various people for differing purposes. The ghosts of the Confederacy had shaped the New South, but in the twentieth century they had become too elusive and ephemeral to define its identity.1 Jefferson Davis was one such phantom, summoned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Memphis, Tennessee and immortalized in an eight foot bronze statue. In 1964, the statue purposefully imposed a proud symbol of Southern heritage and tradition on the heart of downtown Memphis. The basic facts are not debatable: In 1956, Mrs. Harry D. Allen, Vice President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, urged the Memphis chapter of the Children of the Confederacy to begin raising money for a statue of Jefferson Davis. After several years passed without much progress, Mrs. Allen decided to take a more active role and formed the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association. After eight years of fund raising and planning, a statue of Jefferson Davis was unveiled in Confederate Park.

A current or future federation or new ‘nation’ may face fundamental political differences, even irreconcilable difficulties, which can only be settled by force. In future states will inevitably face both separatist issues and polarised argument over the political development of their nation. It is probable that a civil war may again occur where the world may watch and consider forms of intervention, including military force, but be unwilling to do so decisively. This type of Civil War therefore remains historically significant, offering lessons for approaching the problems of strategy in a politically complex environment. Equally it offers insights into civil-military relations in highly complex conflicts where loyalties are not always clear. Success and ultimate triumph in the U.S.

  • From the Brigade Commander: Barry Arnold
    November 2019 – Fall Campaign 42 Second meeting- November 05, 2019 From the Brigade Commander: Barry Arnold We had a really good meeting for the October session of the Civil War Round Table. If you miss our meeting please, take time out and join us. You will learn a lot about the civil war and our past. Our speaker was Eric Buckland, a retired LT. COL. Of the U.S. Army. He spoke to us on his book “Mosby’s Leadership”. He explained the life of Col. John S. Mosby from boyhood up to and through the civil war and beyond the war when he died in 1916. In my opinion it was well done and gave me great insight on the man. Our next meeting is on November 5th, 2019. We will have Richard Lewis, an author and publisher of articles in the Civil War Times and Hallowed Ground magazines. He will speak on “Cloaked in Mystery” The curious case of the confederate coat. I hope to see you all there that night. I want to bring to your attention information on a news article that was written on the web. In the news article, a Virginia judge blocked the City of Charlottesville’s effort to remove the Confederate statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The judge ruled to remove the Statue violated a state law protecting war memorials. In my opinion, removing Confederate statues is erasing history. History is the roadmap to the future. Without history, we are lost. For all your college football fans that belong to our round table.
