Also, special recognition was give to the McTeer Camp and its Commander, David McReynolds, for its excellent work which led them to being awarded the 2014-2015 Abraham Lincoln Commander-in-Chief’s Award as the most outstanding camp in the SUVCW! Brother Doug Fidler was presented “possession” of the Department’s Grant Cup for his excellence in recruiting new members over an extended period of years. Polly Toole Auxiliary President Cindy McReynolds surprised CC David McReynolds with a special award, Colonel—Aide de Camp, Governor’s Staff, State of Tennessee, the highest award the State of Tennessee may bestow upon an individual. It may be awarded to a Ten- nessee citizen for outstanding achievement. The honor is only awarded at the request of a member of the Tennessee General Assembly. Individuals who receive this award are recorded by the Secretary of State of Tennessee with those who have been commissioned into the State Guard and Tennessee National Guard. This award is considered equivalent to actual military commissions and the recipient is commissioned as full Colonel. In this case, State Senator Doug Overbey sponsored McReynolds’ review by Governor Bill Haslam. In Senator Overbey’s letter to Governor Haslam he states: “Mr. McReynolds is a strong advocate for the state of Tennessee. He has suffered a number of medical issues. Despite his conditions, he has a strong passion for being involved with the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Major William A. McTeer Camp No. 39 and many other genealogical organizations. Major William A. McTeer Camp No. 39 received the 2014-2015 Abraham Lincoln Commander-in-Chief’s Award.” In Department business, two committees were appointed in order to look at two important issues. The first committee will look at the possibility of a name change for the Department. Officially, the name of the Department is the “Department of Tennessee.” However, to be re- spectful, we have usually presented ourselves as the “Department of Tennessee with Missis- sippi and Alabama,” which can be a mouthful at National Encampments and other events. The second committee will look at the feasibility of our Department hosting a future National Encampment including the evaluation of possible locations. The Encampment authorized the officers to submit an application to host a future encampment if deadlines required a submit- tal prior to the next Department of Tennessee Encampment in 2017. George Huttick, Depart- ment Signals Officer, made two motions to improve our social media and web presence. The first motion was to authorize him to do a complete overhaul and update of the Department’s current web site. It needs to be updated and made more user friendly. The second motion was to establish a Department Instagram account so that we might make more effective social media contact with a younger age group. Brother Fidler made a motion to name the Depart- ment’s “Brother of the Year” award the “Charles Engle Brother of the Year” award in memory of past Department Commander Charles Engle who passed away in 2015. During 2015, the Department lost one camp—the David Farragut Camp No. 6 which turned in its charter—but gained another camp—the Army of the Tennessee Camp No. 64, which is located in the Mur- freesboro, TN area. It was also announced that next year’s Department Encampment will be hosted by the Army of the Tennessee Camp No. 64. Mark Day, the National JVC-in-C, traveled many miles from his home in Virginia to spend the day with us. He updated us on the health of our National Commander-in-Chief Eugene Mor- torff, who recently suffered a mild stroke. It would seem that a full recovery is expected. McTeer’s Loyal Mountaineers Continued from Page 2 Page 3 March 2016 Brother Day also presented the latest status report concerning the Banner magazine and told us to expect a copy to arrive soon. To conclude the Encampment, there was the election and installation of officers. With strong support, the existing (2015-2016) slate of officers for the Department were re-elected unanimously for another term (2016-2017). Therefore, McTeer Camp members Michael Downs will continue as Department Commander and David McReynolds will continue as Department Junior Vice Commander.

That mission or purpose is to continue to preserve the memories and history of our ancestors—those brave men who fought and died or were gravely wounded but survived in a great war to preserve our Union. If we had failed, the great experiment in liberty and democracy known as the United States of America would have failed. But why did our ancestors get together in the first place as the Grand Army of the Republic? The SUVCW web site on the history of the GAR states: “But probably the most profound emotion was emptiness. Men who had lived together, fought together, foraged to- gether and survived, had developed an unique bond that could not be broken. As time went by the memories of the filthy and vile environment of camp life began to be re- membered less harshly and eventually fondly. The horror and gore of battle lifted with the smoke and smell of burnt black powder and was replaced with the personal rain of tears for the departed comrades. Friendships forged in battle survived the separation and the warriors missed the warmth of trusting companionship that had asked only total and absolute commitment. With that as background, groups of men began joining together — first for camaraderie and then for po- litical power. Emerging most powerful among the various organizations would be the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), which by 1890 would number 409,489 veterans of the ‘War of the Rebellion’.” We don’t enjoy that political power today. We are a relatively small organization. But our purpose is no less worthy. I encourage each of you to further research the story of your ancestors who fought to pre- serve the Union. I hope that we as a Camp may continue to protect and preserve the grave sites of all Union soldiers and make it so that our children and grandchildren may know the sacrifices that they made so that we continue to enjoy the liberties that make our nation so special. In Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty, David McReynolds David McReynolds, Camp Commander McTeer’s Loyal Mountaineers Page 5 March 2016 Interested in joining?

  • ABSTRACT POTEAT, R. MATTHEW. “To the Last
    ABSTRACT POTEAT, R. MATTHEW. “To the Last Man and the Last Dollar”: Governor Henry Toole Clark and Civil War North Carolina, July 1861 to September 1862. (Under the direction of Dr. Nancy Mitchell, with Joe A. Mobley, Co-Chair) This thesis examines the life and political career of Henry Toole Clark, the second of North Carolina’s three Civil War governors. Clark served one term as the state’s chief executive from July 1861 to September 1862, a crucial period in which North Carolina established itself as a constituent member of the Confederate States and first suffered the hardships of war. As the leader of the state in that formative period, he mobilized thousands of troops for the Southern cause, established the first, and only, Confederate prison in North Carolina, arranged the production of salt for the war effort, created European purchasing connections, and built a successful and important gunpowder mill. Clark, however, found more success as an administrator than as a political figure. The Edgecombe County planter devoted over twenty years to the service of the Democratic Party at the local, state, and national levels, and over ten years as a state senator. As governor, he was unable to maneuver in the new political world ushered in by the Civil War, and he retired abruptly from public service at the end of his term. Clark’s life and career offer insight into the larger world of the antebellum planter-politician, that dominant group of southern leaders who led the region into dependence upon slavery and, ultimately, to war. Though the planter class was diverted from power for a brief time during Reconstruction, the political and racial ideology of that class would shape conservative white southern thought for the next hundred years.

By drawing primarily upon State Department records and private British diplomatic correspondence, as well as Union military records, the dissertation argues that the British habeas experience in the Union reveals the broader scope of the habeas corpus problem under Lincoln. During the American Civil War, the military arrests of Britons under Lincoln’s habeas policy presented both governments with a persistent foreign policy problem. Between 1861 and 1865, diplomats at the British Legation prioritized the protection of Britons living in the Union against various forms of military injustice, and devoted considerable energy toward relieving Britons wrongfully arrested or tried by Union military courts.

As its title indicates, it is simply a Supplement to the General Register published in 1902. The Committee ap- pointed by the Council began its work immediately on its appointment in the hope that the work would be finished and the book distributed among the State Societies by early summer ; a hope that has not been realized because of long delays on the part of a few State Secretaries in transmitting to the Committee desired information. Indeed, the first half of the last month of summer had passed before all of the reports had been received. A supplement is in many respects an uninteresting and unsatisfactory book to edit; but the Committee trusts that the volume it now places in the hands of the members of the Society will meet the object sought in the action of the Council, viz. : to furnish the names of those who have joined the Society since the Register was issued, together with accompanying genealogical data. An alphabetical list of all members of the Society, July 1, 1906, will, it is thought, give additional interest and value to the book.
