NATCHEZ TRACE LEGAL RECORDS COLLECTION, 1778-1934. See TARO record at http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/03923/cah-03923.html (134 ft.) This collection is open for research use. Cite as: Natchez Trace Legal Records Collection, 1778-1934, Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin. [AR 85-311]: ______________________________________________________________________________ BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE: The Natchez Trace Legal Records Collection documents the history of the lower Mississippi River Valley with special emphasis on legal matters and local government. The collection consists largely of county-level court and government records from Mississippi and Louisiana and deals with such topics as territorial expansion, statehood, trade on the Mississippi River, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. SCOPE AND CONTENTS: Included are materials that document day-to-day court activities at both original jurisdiction and appellate levels. These consist of judgements, writs of execution, protests, declarations, pleas, proceedings, indictments, and correspondence, etc. Many records of financial transactions requiring legal sanction, such as deeds, bills of sale, articles of agreement, mortgages, loans, leases, bonds, and land surveys, are also present. Probate records, including wills, receipts, accounts, and documents of administration and litigation form a significant portion of the collection. Accompanying the court documents are those that deal with local government and administration in Warren County, Mississippi and other nearby counties. They consist of petitions, allowances for infrastructural development and county expenses, proceedings, orders, appointments and oaths, correspondence, reports, coroner inquests, and records concerning schools, taxes, and elections. The government materials originate initially with various courts, and later with such bodies as the county Board of Police and Board of Supervisors. Materials are in English, French, Spanish, and German.

It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.

Board of R egistration in M edicine, State H ouse, J a n u a ry , 1897. To His Excellency R oger W olcott, Governor. Sir : — la compliance with the requirements of chapter 458 of the Acts of the year 1894, the Board of Registration in Medicine submits its annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1896. The number of applications received during the year is 508; the number of applicants registered is 452; rejected, 56 ; making a per centum of 89 registered and 11 rejected. The regular meetings of the Board as required by law are held on the second Tuesday in March, July and November. No dates, other than the regular meetings, are especially assigned for the examination of applicants. During the past year three special meetings have been held. Except in certain cases owing to physical inability to ■write, or for some other substantial reason, the examinations are conducted wholly in writing. It is the intention of the Board to make its examinations as practical as possible, free from technicalities and catch-questions, the object being to “ test the qualifications of the candidate as a practitioner of medicine.” The questions given to the different members in a class are the same; the answers are marked on a scale of 1 to 10, and the rating is obtained by making an average of the footings in the different subjects.

    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction

    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.
