  • The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter
    n ilyaciltit (7-72 The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter September 2012 Beginning our 16th Campaign www.firstdefenderscwrt.us PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Welcome. We had a great field trip to South Mountain. Many thanks to Don and Rob and anyone else who helped. A special thanks to John Hoptak. If you missed it, we have another good trip planned for next June. I hope your summer is going well and that you are all in good health. The time has come to start a new campaign. The war is not going particularly well for the Union by September 1862. Robert E. Lee has embarrassed George B. McClellan in the Seven Days Campaign in front of Richmond. Then on August 29 th and 30th, he crushes John Pope's army at Second Bull Run. The Rebel army pushes to within 20 miles of Washington before withdrawing. Abraham Lincoln believes that he has no choice, but to swallow his pride and ask McClellan to again lead the Army of the Potomac. Many in Lincoln's administration believe that McClellan did everything in his power to undermine Pope, and would like to see him hang. Lincoln knows Little Mac can restore morale. Lee, with momentum on his side decides to invade the North. A decisive victory in above the Mason-Dixon line may lead to peace talks. The Army of Northern Virginia, in high spirits, crosses the Potomac River, into Maryland on September 5th. McClellan moving quickly, defeats part of Lee's army at the Battle of South Mountain. Lee, with the wings of his army widely scattered, is surprised for one of the few times in the war and considers abandoning the campaign.

  • Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: the Bahamas, 1783–C
    Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: The Bahamas, 1783–c. 1800 Paul Daniel Shirley October 2011 UCL PhD thesis 1 I, Paul Daniel Shirley, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: _____________________________ (Paul Daniel Shirley) 2 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of revolution upon slavery in the Atlantic world, focusing upon the period of profound and unprecedented change and conflict in the Bahamas during the final decades of the eighteenth century. It argues that the Bahamian experience can only be satisfactorily understood with reference to the revolutionary upheavals that were transforming the larger Atlantic world in those years. From 1783, the arrival of black and white migrants displaced by the American Revolution resulted in quantitative and qualitative social, economic and political transformation in the Bahamas. The thesis assesses the nature and significance of the sudden demographic shift to a non-white majority in the archipelago, the development of many hitherto unsettled islands, and efforts to construct a cotton-based plantation economy. It also traces the trajectory and dynamics of the complex struggles that ensued from these changes. During the 1780s, émigré Loyalist slaveholders from the American South, intent on establishing a Bahamian plantocracy, confronted not only non-white Bahamians exploring enlarged possibilities for greater control over their own lives, but also an existing white population determined to defend their own interests, and a belligerent governor with a penchant for idiosyncratic antislavery initiatives. In the 1790s, a potentially explosive situation was inflamed still further as a new wave of war and revolution engulfed the Atlantic.

  • The Montgomery County Story
    The Montgomery County Story Vol. 50, No. 1 Winter 2007 Montgomery County Story In our 50th Year of Publication Topical Sununaries and Index The first Montgomery County Story was published in November 1957, and for the next fifteen years Martha Sprigg Poole served as Editor of the Montgomery County Historical Society'S quarterly. Miss Poole, a Washington, D.C. native, was active in the Historical Society's early days. She held Bachelor's and Master's degrees in history from George Washington University, and retired from McKinley Technical High School in 1951 after 24 years ofteaching in the District of Columbia public schools. After Miss Poole's death at age 82, in 1972, Mayvis Fitzsimons served as Editor until 1975. She made the switch from Roman to Arabic numbers for Story volumes, and placed a greater focus on historical research. Her tenure was cut short by a tragic automobile accident, at the age of 52. The third Editor, Mary Charlotte Crook (1975-1989), and fourth Editor, Eleanor M. V. Cook (1989-2003), both had long tenures before their respective retirements. Each had previously contributed to the Story, as well as volunteering in the Society Library. Through the years, many Library volunteers have been contributing writers. Another volunteer, Diane Broadhurst, took Martha Sprigg Poole, over as Editor in 2003. The current Story, a summary of past issues, Editor 1957-1972 was compiled by Library volunteers. The role of Story Editor often exceeds that of simply preparing authors' manuscripts. Editors also have to locate and recruit interested authors, and keep them on schedule.

This dilemma had grown out of the confused state of affairs which'followed the separation of the Captaincy- General of Guatemala from Spain. At first united to Iturbide*s short-lived Mexican empire, the five Central American states organized a federal union in 1825 under the name of the United Provinces of Central America. The United States promptly recognised this new federal union and signed a treaty of commerce and friendship with It on December 5, 1825.1 However, governmental institutions adapted to the needs of Anglo-America did not work equally well when transplanted to a land where the problem of geographical Isolation alone made such a union difficult to achieve.

The data for this sketch was furnished by my uncle, the Right Reverend Edgar P. Wadhams. Later he obtained some further data and, on his becoming Bishop of Ogdensburg, he gave this ma terial to me with the request that I continue the work. During the past twenty-five years, but more especially during the past five years, I have pursued the task of obtaining all available information relating to those of the name of Wadhams in America and elsewhere. Not withstanding my best endeavors it is probable that a con siderable number of those who should have been included in the work have not been found. The lineage of a few families by the name of Wadhams has been traced to a certain extent, but their connection with the main branch of the family has not yet been established. The records of these will be found in the Unconnected Lines. In t he preparation of the work I have freely consulted and availed myself of information from a considerable number of genealogical works to which I am much in debted.

  • 88Th Pennsylvania Infantry Soldier Roster
    : Eighty-Eighth Regiment, Ol^T the 9tb of August, 18C1, George P. M'Lean, then Major of the Twenty- second Pennsylvania regiment, three months' service, received authority from the Secretary of War, Hon. Simon Cameron, to organize an infantry regiment, which was at first known as the Cameron Light Guards, subse- quently the Eighty-eighth. A camp was formed at Wissahickon, near Phila- delphia, recruiting actively commenced, and the regiment was scarcely filled before orders were received on October 1st, to report to General Casey, at Washington, for assignment to duty. The following were the field ofQcers George P. M'Lean, Colonel ; Joseph A. M'Lean, Lieutenant Colonel ; George W. Gile, Major, and Benezet F. Foust, Adjutant. Companies A, B, and H, were recruited in Berks county, and the remaining companies in Philadelphia. Immediately on its arrival in Washington, it was ordered into camp at Kendall Green. On the 12th of October, it moved to Alex- andria, Virginia, and was assigned to provost guard duty, in and around the city, relieving the Fourth New Jersey. Until this time (he command was without arras, having left Philadelphia but partially uniformed, and without equip- ments. The regiment here received the State colors, which were presented by Hon.
