This book was released on 1784 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writes to Hull about a dispute with Major [Sebastian] Bauman regarding officers of the infantry and artillery appearing in the same roster. Knox says he consulted with Washington and other general officers before making the decision. States that [m]y principles are precisely this, that the artillery officers should do an equal [portion] of duty with the officers of the Infantry... Knox also discusses the recent trial of soldiers accused of committing an audacious robbery on Mr. Lunds, and questions whether the crime called for a civil, not a military, trial. Certainly they deserve the punishment inflicted by the Court, Knox states. But I find myself restricted from giving [just?] approbation to the sentence of these to suffer death...from a consideration that the articles of war upon which they are condemned are rather implicatory than direct... He notes that other such military trials have taken place when it was difficult or impossible to have a trial by a civil authority. But the case is now widely different and therefore I would have you deliver the culprits to the civil authority to be by them tried and adjudged....In a case of the importance of Life & death the principals should be clear and evident. Knox closes by stating that the observations of joy observed on February 6th (likely celebrating the anniversary of the Franco-American alliance) were, in his opinon, proper, and that he hopes the [financier] (probably a reference to Superintendent of Finance Robert Morris) does not object to the fact that the dinner was at the public's expense. Watermarked.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
