If you are reading this, you are a part of that solution. At our next meeting on Thursday, January 3, I'll be discussing Belo Camp's Plan for 2013. The Camp Plan will deal with the solutions we seek to put in to motion in the Dallas area. We encourage you to do the same for your camp as well! And as always we welcome you to be our guests.

Now's the time to stand up for the SCV, for Texas, and the South! If we don't...nobody else will. Let's get to work! God Bless, Kevin Newsom Commander Belo Camp 49 Dallas 214-422-1778 [email protected] Chaplain’s Corner Standing Together! Today, we, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, are at war. But, it is not a war we started or wanted any more than our Confederate forefathers did. They fought because they were being attacked, just as we must fight because we are being attacked. And, just like the Yankees 150 years ago, those who attack us will not be satisfied until our Southern heritage and the memory and honor of our fine Confederate history is totally destroyed. We cannot afford complacency. Our just and worthy Cause is under attack by unrighteous foes. We are being oppressed and ridiculed by those who fear us and resent our proud Southern heritage. We are being opposed by forces of darkness who will stop at nothing to stamp out the memory and honor due our brave Confederate ancestors. There are those who would deliberately and maliciously take from us what is rightfully ours. They would steal away our fine Southern heritage. They would loot and pillage the pride we have in our Confederate ancestors. They would empty us of our history and leave us with a legacy of shame and in a condition of disgrace. They are in fact assaulting our land and all we hold dear. Being Southerners and more particularly descendants of the Confederacy is our birthright, and something for which we should be militantly proud. We must draw a line in the sand and stand defiantly in defense of our proud Confederate history and those who lived it, and passed it on to us. But, unfortunately, many Southerners, Like Esau in Genesis 25: 27-34, are willing to trade their birthright for a bowl of pottage. They seem more concerned with the comforts, pleasures, and tasks of today. They seem to say, as Esau did in verse 32, "What profit shall this birthright do to me?" They are being robbed of their past and don't seem to care. Ours is a history of respect, dignity, and concern for our fellow human beings, and I believe the Lord is on our side. The Scripture says, in Isaiah 41: 11, "Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish." Then in the next two verses, "They that war against thee shall be as nothing, and a thing of naught. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." As members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, we need to unite as Confederate Brothers and resolve to place our faith and trust in Almighty God and seek His guidance. We must also follow our elected SCV leaders, as our forefathers followed Generals Lee and Jackson. In so doing, we will defeat those who seek our destruction, accomplish the task set before us, and fulfill the mission with which we are charged. Now let us be mindful of our commitment and duty. Let us, as the historic Sons of Confederate Veterans, do as our heroic Confederate forefathers did, draw a line in the sand, stand together, and hold our ground. Bro. Len Patterson, Th.D Chaplain, Army of Trans-Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans Please be in Prayer for the granddaughter of Rev. Jerry Brown, who has a brain tumor.

GEORGE MERCER BROOKE, JR. Professor of History Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. On 5 November 1823, the Adjutant General in Washington ordered Lieutenant Colonel George Mercer Brooke of the Fourth Infantry to take four companies from Cantonment Clinch near Pensacola to Tampa Bay for the purpose of building a military post. Exactly three months later, Brooke reported from the Tampa Bay area that he had arrived and work on the post was under way. A study of this troop movement and the construction of the cantonment later called Fort Brooke gives some insight into the problems the army faced one hundred and fifty years ago. At that time the population of the country was only ten million and the immigration flood of the nineteenth century was as yet only a trickle. The population was predominantly rural, only seven per cent living in urban areas. The railroad era lay in the future. Missouri had just recently been admitted as the twenty-fourth state after a portentous struggle on the slavery issue, and the country was laboring to recover from the Panic of 1819 induced in large part by overspeculation in land.

The late professor Cecil Lawson planted the initial spark within me through his clear enthusiasm for Japanese culture and love for the Japanese people, which he displayed in his freshman studies class “Sword, Silk, and Silicon.” This interest was nurtured by professor Holly Holliday, my Japanese language instructor at St. Edward’s, who opened my mind to one of the world’s most complex and beautiful languages and, in turn, to the entire country of Japan.

  • Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia
    Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Edward Marickovich Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Ocean Engineering Alan J. Brown, Chair Stefano Brizzolara Sean M. Keary 5 December 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Ironclad, Naval Architecture, Civil War Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Marickovich ABSTRACT This thesis presents the results of a naval architecture analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia, built by the Confederate States Navy to break the Union Blockade of Hampton Roads, and which engaged the USS Monitor on the second day of the Battle of Hampton Roads, March 9th, 1862. The purpose of the analysis was to examine the ship from a naval architectural standpoint pertaining to hydrostatics, stability, weight and CG, sea keeping, and basic resistance/powering requirements. The goal was to see if the story of the CSS Virginia, destroyed on May 11th, 1862 by its own crew to keep it from falling into Union hands, could have ended differently with an attack on Washington, a Northern city, or a run to a friendly Southern port, such as Savannah or Charleston. Paramarine software was used to build a geometry model based on lines included in a book by Sumner B. Besse for ship modelers. The geometry model provided the basic measures of displacement for the hull form at a draft of 21 ft forward and 22 ft aft which in turn allowed for a weight estimate to be undertaken.

    HISTORICALLY ACCURATE: THE NAVAL GUN SIGHTS AND PERCUSSION LOCKS RECOVERED FROM THE CONFEDERATE IRONCLAD RAM CSS GEORGIA A Thesis by MIGUEL GUTIERREZ Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Donny Hamilton Co-Chair of Committee, Kevin Crisman Committee Member, Joseph Dawson III Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2017 Major Subject: Maritime Archaeology and Conservation Copyright 2017 Miguel Gutierrez ABSTRACT Construction for a 19th-century Confederate ironclad ram known as CSS Georgia began in March 1862 after the Ladies Gunboat Association of Savannah, Georgia raised the necessary funds. However, Georgia never saw action and spent most of its career moored on the Savannah River. The Confederates intentionally sunk Georgia as General William T. Sherman’s troops approached Savannah in 1864 to prevent its capture by Union forces. It spent the next 150 years at the bottom of the channel. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District, in partnership with Panamerican Consultants, Inc., the Conservation Research Laboratory (CRL) at Texas A&M University, and the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command, organized the recovery of thousands of artifacts and sent many of them to the CRL for subsequent conservation. This vast collection of artifacts includes a set of brass naval instruments known as gun sights. Their use enhanced the accuracy of guns during engagements at sea. Additionally, Georgia yielded brass percussion locks that facilitated the instantaneous discharge of naval guns. They represent one of the largest archaeologically recovered collections of naval gun sights and percussion locks from this era.

  • Virginia's Contribution to Science. by Lyon G
    358 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct., VIRGINIA'S CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE. BY LYON G. TYLER. It is probable that no one doubts the conspicuous part played by Virginia along certain important lines of activity. In government she took a leading part in the American Revolution, and was the capital of the Southern Confederacy. In politics, she was the headquarters for many years of the great Jeffersonian party, and though a slave State, she was for years the strongest exponent of the democratic principle. In war her population has shown a reniarkable mili- tary spirit and the names of Washington, Scott, Tay- lor, Lee, Johnston, and Jackson easily stand pre- eminent among American generals. And in colo- nization not only were her presidents foremost in the extension of the national domain, but the South and West teem with the millions who are descendants of the early Virginia pioneers. Her association with Science and scientific men is not so well recognized. There is a reason for this. Science—practical science—especially loves the crowded centers, where its activity may receive adequate reward, and rural occupations and a scattered population are not sup- posed to be conducive to scientific pursuits. Now, Virginia has been a land of counties and not of cities and towns. Nevertheless, her records are not a sealed book. It may be readily admitted that science as a pro- fession has not fiourished, but in the knowledge which has come down to us there have been indications of a spirit in Virginia leading to invention and research which promises better things when population be- 1915.] Virginia's Contribution to Science.

  • Underwater by Brooke Moss Underwater
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Underwater by Brooke Moss Underwater. The secrets of Pend Oreille are best left beneath the surface. After being partially paralyzed in a car accident, wheelchair-bound Luna Prosser is struggling to keep her head above water. Fighting for independence from her over-protective parents and determined to seem normal as she wheels down the halls of her high school, Luna can't believe the hot new guy on campus actually talks to her - and looks at her with more than just pity in his haunted, aquamarine eyes. But Luna has no idea how different Saxon really is, or what agonizing responsibilities he faces. He's been sneaking up and out of the dark waters of the Pend Oreille for a year now, slipping in and out of towns, local classes, and shops, in an attempt to learn more about the fascinating humans he was raised to stalk. But instead of watching them as prey, Saxon watches them with a yearning for normalcy, and to search for a way to aid his rapidly dying Mer clan from extinction. Together he and Luna find a connection that can't be described. Like a key sliding into a lock, they've found their one mate, and once that has happened, the connection is permanent. But their bliss isn't meant to last, for there are secrets in the dark waters of Pend Oreille - secrets that could drown them both. Genre: Paranormal Romance. John Mercer Brooke. John Mercer Brooke (December 18, 1826 – December 14, 1906) was an American sailor, engineer, scientist, and educator.
