Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwich University, 1819-1911, Vol. 1 of 3: Her History, Her Graduates, Her Roll of Honor This work is a continuation of the History of the University, published in 1898 by Mr. W.A. Ellis of the class of 1897. The first work was begun in 1894, when he was elected alumni editor of the Reveille. From 1898, until 1907, he collected material on the alumni and past cadets and on the general history of the University; and in 1907, lie undertook to publish a supplementary volume. Not receiving sufficient financial support to guarantee the publication, the work was temporarily abandoned. In December, 1908, Gen. G.M. Dodge of the class of 1851, became interested in the work and made arrangements with Mr. Ellis to complete the history. On January 1, 1909, the work of compiling the history was actively begun. The printing was begun in December, 1910 and completed in November, 1911. It was at first planned to publish the general history of the University, and the sketches of the cadets from 1820 to date, omitted from the first edition, and issue the work in one volume. But as the work progressed, it became necessary to revise the sketches appearing in the first volume and issue the work in two volumes - Volume I to contain the sketches of the cadets from 1820 to 1866 and Volume II from 1867 to date. As the compilation was continued, it became evident, owing to the great mass of material collected, that it would be impossible to publish the work in two volumes. So the plan of publication was again changed to issue the work in three volumes, in its present form: Volume I, being the general history of the University; Volume II, sketches of alumni and past cadets, 1820-66; Volume III, sketches of alumni, past cadets and under-graduates, 1866-1915. The data collected in compiling this work will be placed in the University library for preservation. A systematic canvass of the alumni, past cadets, and friends of the University has been made in the effort to make the work complete. Fully 50,000 letters have been written, and so far as possible, all the data received has been carefully verified. It is earnestly desired that all persons noting errors or omissions in the History will send the corrections to the Historian. Only those who have engaged in genealogical research, can appreciate the immense amount of work in tracing the cadets, many of whom were born over one hundred years ago. An effort was made to secure cuts of all the graduates and the past cadets of two year's attendance at the University; and it is with regret, that it was found impossible to carry out the plan. In many cases portraits of the cadets have not been preserved and in many others, the absence of the cuts, is explained by the indifference of the descendents and relatives of the old students. During 1844-53, a military school was conducted in Norwich, by Captain Partridge and his cadets, so far as known, are included in this work.

Download or read book History of Alaska Volume I written by Jonathan M. Nielson, Ph.D. and published by Academica Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a unique, distant geographical region of the United States, Alaska has evolved from military insignificance to high strategic priority in the 142 years since its purchase from Russia in 1867. The reasons for this dramatic shift derive from a correlation of geography, foreign policy, domestic politics, and military technology. Historically the role of the armed forces in Alaska has been large and diverse. Alaska was one of the two principal territorial purchases made by the United States between 1803 and 1867 adding nearly 1.5 million square miles to America’s national domain. Smaller by the size of Texas than Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, Alaska, unlike all of the territories and states carved out of the former, languished in obscurity and isolation, and was administered as a colonial dependency by the military and other branches of the federal government, its official ‘territorial status’ and government notwithstanding. While sharing many common aspects of frontier settlement and Western history with territories such as Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Colorado, Alaska presented special challenges peculiar to a non-contiguous arctic and sub-Arctic environment, separated from the United States by a foreign power. Indeed, only the defeated South under Reconstruction experienced the same degree of military occupation and martial law. Alaska also has the unique distinction in the American experience of belonging to Imperial Russia before it became of interest to American expansionists. Still others found Alaska tempting and pursued their own designs North of '53. The Spanish, British, Canadians, and even the French plied Alaska’s waters and made their claims to Alyeska- the Great Land. And it is with these clashing imperial ambitions that this three-volume history begins.

Download or read book States at War Volume 1 written by Richard F. Miller and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organization, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War states and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, and many key sources remain unavailable online. This volume, the first of six, provides a crucial reference book for Civil War scholars and historians, professional or amateur, seeking information about individual states or groups of states. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant-general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, federal and state executive speeches and proclamations, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments. Designed and organized for easy use, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone skeletal history of an individual stateÕs war years, or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

Download or read book Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska written by Brian G. Shellum and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Skagway was born in 1897 after its population quintupled in under a year due to the Klondike gold rush. Balanced on the edge of anarchy, the U.S. Army stationed Company L, a unit of Buffalo Soldiers, there near the end of the gold rush. Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska tells the story of these African American soldiers who kept the peace during a volatile period in America's resource-rich North. It is a fascinating tale that features white officers and Black soldiers safeguarding U.S. territory, supporting the civil authorities, protecting Native Americans, fighting natural disasters, and serving proudly in America's last frontier. Despite the discipline and contributions of soldiers who served honorably, Skagway exhibited the era's persistent racism and maintained a clear color line. However, these Black Regulars carried out their complex and sometimes contradictory mission with a combination of professionalism and restraint that earned the grudging respect of the independently minded citizens of Alaska. The company used the popular sport of baseball to connect with the white citizens of Skagway and in the process gained some measure of acceptance. Though the soldiers left little trace in Skagway, a few remained after their enlistments and achieved success and recognition after settling in other parts of Alaska.
