  • Moore-Stone Family History
    MOORE - STONE FAMILY HISTORY Including the memories of Lilly Lievsay [email protected] Including the research of Judith Welles [email protected] Ben Ritter Winchester, VA Written by William Bauman [email protected] Revised NOVEMBER 2013 1 2 PREFACE This MOORE - STONE FAMILY HISTORY was built upon the family records compiled by Lilly Lievsay. Her collection forms the basic structure of this family history. An effort was undertaken to verify and amplify the family history as regards their involvement with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. After the story was first drafted, Judith Welles published her book Lilly Stone (ISBN: 978-0- 615-66983-0) which also drew from the Lilly Lievsay Collection. Mrs. Lievsay gave my contact information to Ms. Welles, who subsequently contacted me and the three of us have been working on the story ever since. Of course if another person has the interest and resources to develop this family history before or after their Chesapeake and Ohio Canal days, that information would be welcome. A family history may have many authors. All photographs are from the Lilly Lievsay Collection, unless otherwise footnoted. The table of vital statistics for the two families at the end of this Report was initially built from the Lilly Lievsay Collection. When obituaries, wills, family bibles, birth announcements, obituaries or tombstones were found, the data was refined. Thus the data in the table is believed to be the most accurate. We hope the readers will find the story interesting and contact either of us with additional information or corrections.

  • The Handling of Wounded in the Civil War
    RICE UNIVERSITY IMPROVISATION, ADAPTATION AND INNOVATION: THE HANDLING OF WOUNDED IN THE CIVIL WAR by Ralph Molyneux Mitchell II A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's Signature: Houston, Texas April, 1975 ABSTRACT IMPROVISATION, ADAPTATION AND INNOVATION: THE HANDLING OF WOUNDED IN THE CIVIL WAR Ralph Molyneux Mitchell II Critics of Civil War medical practices tend to iso¬ late them from all other aspects of the war and evaluate them against twentieth century standards. This results in a dis¬ torted picture of successes and failures. Only when viewed in proper historical perspective and evaluated as components of vastly different logistics systems can the Confederate and Union Medical Departments be judged properly. Efforts by the Confederacy to support its army were hampered by shortages of capital, labor, food, supplies and transportation. These shortages kept its logistics system in the embryonic stages of development throughout the war. The Union, on the other hand, was able to support its army for exactly the opposite reasons. An abundance of capital, labor and raw materials combined with an excellent transportation network and a strong industrial base to insure the success of Union logistics and, in a war of attrition, to guarantee victory. Reflecting the poverty of its logistics system, the Confederate Medical Department, under the strong leadership of Samuel Preston Moore, managed not only to survive four years, but to acquit itself admirably on many battlefields. To care for the wounded, surgeons relied on their abilities to improvise and adapt. Such skills, early learned and often used, carried them through periods of total logistical failure.
