Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

  • Filibustering and Howard Pyle's Pirates
    The Domestic Consequences of American Imperialism: Filibustering and Howard Pyle's Pirates Robert E. May Perhaps it bears no significance at all. In his introduction to an edited 1891 work on piracy (The Buccaneers and Marooners of America), the illustrious Wilmington, Delaware illustrator and author Howard Pyle inserted a curious passage within the context of explaining an upsurge in West Indian piracy following the Treaty of Ryswick (1697), which had ended the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-1697) between the European powers. Observing that the warring states had condoned "filibustering" against each other while the conflict was raging, Pyle reported that the buccaneering way of life had become so "thoroughly congenial" for its practitioners that they could not give it up when the fighting was over. The day of Edward Teach, best remembered as Blackbeard, had dawned.1 Although there seems a dissonance in Pyle's use of a term for windy talking—"filibustering"—in a passage about behavior that most people associate with cutthroat violence, Pyle's language makes sense. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, Americans used the word to describe private military expeditions against foreign states and dependencies with which their own country was officially at peace. During the 1850s, when filibustering occurred every year and achieved temporary success with the Tennessee native William Walker conquering much of Nicaragua, the word almost always indicated private armed attacks on other countries. By the time Pyle was writing in 1891, 0026-3079/2005/4602-037$2.50/0 American Studies, 46:2 (Summer 2005): 37-61 37 38 Robert E.

Dawson, III Committee Members, Roger R. Reese Cemal Pulak Head of Department, Walter R. Buenger December 2006 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Marines in Gray: The Birth, Life and Death of the Confederate States Marine Corps. (December 2006) Michael E. Krivdo, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joseph G. Dawson, III This thesis explores and provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the Confederate States Marine Corps that have long been neglected. It examines the military and political processes that were instrumental in both creating and employing a Southern Marine Corps. It also investigates relationships between the U.S. and Confederate Marine Corps, particularly in light of how the experiences of former U.S. Marines shaped the growth of the Southern Corps. In particular, the thesis asserts that, despite shared origins, the CSMC seized on opportunities presented by the Civil War and became expert in new mission areas through the efforts of a core group of determined and experienced leaders.

He enjoyed the use of the Captain's quarters, to which he had been kindly Invited by commander Davis on his coming on board at San Juan del Sur. There, he was "perfect­ ly secure from any attack, except those of his own con­ sclence."1 Walker was, however, angry with Davis, accusing him of collusion with the "enemy," of having Induced his men to desert him, and of having wrongfully turned over "his" Nicaraguan schooner Granada to Mora. Walker's enraged Insolence became so great, that Davis abstained from entering his own cabin during the voyage. Hopelessly tangled In his eternal monomaniacal delusions of grandeur, Walker blamed Davis for his defeat and confidently asserted that he would soon be back In Nicaragua. Upon arrival at Panama, on May 16, Commodore Mervine sent him a message, asking him how many of his staff were going to New Orleans or New York, and how many were willing to pay their own passage to the States.
