     Extractions: A BRIT REPORTS ON OUR CIVIL WAR INSTITUTE Uncle Sam’s Web Feet: The Navies Each year about 350 students of the American Civil War gather at Gettysburg College for a weeklong symposium. This year the subject was Uncle Sam's Web Feet: The Navies. The phrase comes from a letter from Abraham Lincoln to James Conkling 26th August 1863 . “Nor must Uncle Sam's web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep-sea, the broad bay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.” Sunday evening After enrolment in the afternoon the CWI participants gather for a picnic. Old acquaintances are re-newed; absent friends noted. The atmosphere is charged with expectancy. The wit abounds. “When you tell people you are coming here why do they always ask if you dress up?” “I have nothing against re-enactors but I am not one of them.” “Why don’t they ever re-enact Fort Pillow?” (Quigley.) That would say something about the Rebs.

     Extractions: Tidewater Virginia Explore Virginia By John V. Quarstein, director, Virginia War Museum O n March 9, 1862, Hampton Roads was the scene of a terrific engagement, which revolutionized naval warfare. The first battle between ironclad ships, often called the Monitor-Merrimack Virginia ) engagement, is perhaps the most significant naval event of the entire Civil War. This duel is an epic tale that tells how steam-powered iron ships rang the death knell for wooden vessels and echoed the dawn of modern navies. When the Confederate batteries encircling Charleston Harbor opened fire on Fort Sumter during the early morning of April 12, 1861, the bombardment set in motion a naval race resulting in the first battle between ironclad ships. Little did the Confederates realize that soon their harbors would be blockaded by the Union fleet attempting to sever the vital link between the agrarian South and industrialized European nations. The question in the spring of 1861 was how could the Confederacy maintain this critical industrial lifeline. Onto this stage stepped Confederate Secretary of the Navy Stephen Russell Mallory. Perhaps one of Jefferson Davis' better cabinet appointments, Mallory served as the pre-war chairman of the U.S. Senate's Naval Affairs Committee and immediately recognized that the South could never match the North's superior shipbuilding capabilities unless a novel weapon was introduced into the fray. Mallory's solution was to build or purchase a fleet of ironclad vessels.

     Extractions: By Lee D. Bacon United States Navy personnel records for the period 1861-1924 are one of the best secrets in genealogical research. These records commonly contain information that is otherwise unobtainable in federal records. The personnel records include military service records and pension records. The former document volunteer military service, and the latter document compensation due a veteran or widow for disability, age, or loss. Military Service Records These documents give information such as dates of service and vessel of duty. Before 1885 there are no naval service records that correspond to army compiled military service records. For the navy, rendezvous reports, keys to enlistments, and muster rolls document a veteran's service. It is also possible to find information related to a veteran's service in the various pension indexes (described later in the article).
