FULL TEXT PAGES: A Brief History of the Exploration of the Moon by Mark R. Whittington June 07, 2005 The first great age of lunar exploration is one of the great epics of the 20th Century. It looks like, with any luck, there will soon be a new age of lunar exploration, with profound implications for human civilization. The Moon and Human History The Earth’s Moon has had a profound effect on the entire history and development of human civilization. Many cultures used the cycle of the Moon’s phases to measure time. The Moon has been venerated in various forms throughout history. The Greeks worshiped the Moon goddess Artemis. The Romans called her Diana. The Celts called her Arianrod. The Egyptians considered Isis a goddess of the Moon. Indeed, in virtually every culture, the deity associated with the Moon has always been female, possibly because of associations of the lunar phase cycle with the female menstrual cycle. Galileo first discovered, through his telescope, that the Moon was a world, with mountains and dark areas that he called “Mare” or “Seas” which we now know are relatively flat areas that are nevertheless drier than the most arid Earthly desert. Nineteenth century astronomers thought that the Moon might be an abode of life, much like the Earth.

What was it like to be a northern wife? With a high percentage of the men from both sides away at war, and with a shortage of available staples, the lives of those left behind often were quite difficult. Professor Faust has been at the forefront of the scholarship on the Civil War homefront, and more particularly how the war affected women. Not surprisingly, she finds that their lives were very difficult. But she also found that most women bore their new burdens, and came out of the conflict saying, as did one Confederate woman, that it was "certainly our [war] as well as that of the men."

Freight train on Orange and Alexandria Railroad, in Culpeper, Virginia, August 1862 Photograph courtesy of Virginia's northern Piedmont is a rolling, open, well-watered region of farms and scattered villages and towns. It occupies the land between two principal Civil War battlegrounds: the Shenandoah Valley and the Washington-Fredericksburg-Richmond axis. During the war, the Manassas Gap and the Orange and Alexandria Railroads traversed the area, augmenting the long-established road network and furnishing the opposing armies with strategically vital transportation and supply routes. Waves of military activity, large and small, swept through the region periodically. In 1861, the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) took place near the Manassas Junction of the two railroads in Prince William County, with troops being rushed into battle by railroad for the first time in American history. The next year, Gen. Robert E. Lee launched his attack into Maryland that culminated at Antietam Creek (Sharpsburg), after first winning Gen. Edwin V. Sumner and staff in Warrenton, Virginia, main eastern theater of the Civil War, Nov. 13, 1862

Leslie Glover of the First South Carolina(Butler's) Infantry Regiment was one of about 500 rebs to fall at the Confederate delaying action at Averasborough , North Carolina. His death was distinquished however in that only bout a month prior to his gallant death, his home would be filled with another soldier's presence. During the Federal attack and capture of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Glover's home was used by William Tecumseh Sherman as his place of lodging. A month later the young soldier would fall facing Sherman at the battle of Averasborough. In a unrelated side note his brother, Colonel Glover of the 1st South Carolina Infantry, was KIA leading his men at Second Manassas One of the noblest, lost cause myths of Sherman's march through South Carolina concerns the notion of "the young and old"(militia and homeguards) rising up to fight to the death to protect their homes. In reality in few cases did General Sherman actually fight these roadblocks. Most Homeguards and reserve troops were in the center's at Charleston and Columbia. Therefore the vast majority of the actual fighting was done against SD Lee's Army of Tennessee corps and Wheeler's Army of Tennessee Cavalry. Also Butler's Army of Northern Virginia Cavalry were soon added to the mix(although they were South Carolinians). There was reports of fighing of militia at Camden and a few in the other area's, but in general no major effort to oppose Sherman's advance by Militia.(that i know of, i can be wrong.)

HISTORY - Legends and Lore Where is the gold? Speculation abounds! The Confederate treasury, estimated at over half a million dollars in gold, started out under heavy guard from Richmond, Virginia and finally ended up in Washington, Georgia, the last town known to have sheltered the fortune. Confederacy President Jeff Davis held his last cabinet meeting in Washington, Georgia in May 1865 and signed the papers officially dissolving the Confederacy. As the Confederacy fell apart, some of the fortune was captured with President Davis in Irwinville and $100,000 was captured by northern troops stored in a Washington, Georgia bank. To this day, legend persists that the balance of the Confederate Gold is buried somewhere in Wilkes County.

The steamers Alfarata and Laura Moore were docked in Rome and on May 17, 1864, during a battle, Union troops threatened to capture the two steamboats. Under cover of darkness, the pilots built up a load of steam and began to churn their way out of the landing, attempting to escape down the Coosa River to safety. Union cannon emplacements on Shorter Hill sensed they were about to loose their quarry and began firing at the steamers, but the pilots had carefully placed bales of cotton around the strategic boilers and other important parts of the boats. The cannon balls only buried themselves deep in the cotton bales and both boats escaped.

Resources Maladies and Conditions Top memory Boller [ ] says: McKinley had a remarkable memory for faces and names... Once, while waiting for ceremonies to begin at the dedication of a monument at the Antietam battlefield, he walked over to the edge of the platform and called down to an old veteran in blue, "Hello, comrade, I saw you in the crowd at Gettysburg last month when I spoke there, didn't I?" Astonished, the veteran exclaimed, "Yes, but how did you recognize me?" Queried about his memory afterward, McKinley shrugged it off: "Oh, I don't know, it just comes naturally." height McKinley was 5 feet 7 inches tall, shorter than the average man. He was ridiculed as a "little boy" when he ran for President in 1896 [ Comment: This is a clear illustration that politics always has been, and always will be, a nasty business. McKinley's manhood should not have been open to challenge, given that he enlisted in the Army at age 17, just weeks after the Civil War began at Ft. Sumter, and that he served in the field virtually the entire war, including the battles of South Mountain, Antietam, Winchester, Cedar Creek, and countless others [ cried in office [Interesting that McKinley advised to take advantage of a physiological fact to conceal from others that he had been crying.] [

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Go to the main Civil War touring page. The Quiet and Compelling History of Appomattox By James T. Yenckel Washington Post Staff Writer April 19, 1987 The other Civil War parks outside Washington commemorate the violent clash of armies, a story most often told of bold tactics and devastating blunders, of bitter victories and death in horrifying numbers. Appomattox is a place of peace, a lovely memorial to the end of four long years of war and to the dignity, the honor and the generosity of the combatants in the final days of the conflict. "A Stillness at Appomattox" is the title historian Bruce Catton gave to his famous account of the last year of the Civil War, and even today a haunting stillness cloaks the tiny central Virginia village where on April 9, 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his tattered army to the troops of Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. The village, looking much as it did on that fateful day, has been carefully preserved as Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. Appomattox sits atop a broad grass-covered hill, a small cluster of restored or rebuilt homes and other buildings a tavern, the general store, the courthouse, the jail encircled by acres of rolling farm and pasture land. Weathered rail fences trace the one-time stagecoach road between Richmond and Lynchburg, now merely a path for foot travel, and flower-ringed yards shelter the privies, water wells and gazebos of an earlier day.

The war, for Ferguson, was a catastrophe because overrating the German threat prevented British imperialism from proceeding on its essentially benevolent and necessary worldwide mission. It was the wrong war fought in the wrong place for the wrong reasons in the wrong way: not the Civil War plus mustard gas but Vietnam to the power of ten. are there lessons in history, or just stories, mostly sad? As late as August 2nd, the British, though allied with France, were disinclined to take part in a continental war. But then it became plain that a German military response to France would violate the neutrality of Belgium, which had been guaranteed by the British, among others, in a nearly century-old treaty. Practically within a single day, the soft humanitarians and the hard imperialists within the British government found a common cause; the country reversed course, warned the Germans off, and went to war. In the first week of June, all of Europe was in a state of peace and prosperity that seemed likely to last forever; by the first week of August, the carnage had begun. Weltpolitik Weltpolitik Times this So it was not a march of folly at all. It was a march of fools. That is, it was not a tragedy of errors and misunderstandings that carried the unknowing participants toward an end that they could not envision. It was the deliberate decision of individuals who thought they knew just what they were getting into. The causes of the First World War, the newer scholarship often implies, can be understood in classic game-theory terms, with all the players trying to maximize their own interests. Except that this was a game being played by terribly inept players.

History of the Nigerian Army before 1966. The War - Planning Strategies. The Clash of Arms. Lessons Learnt. Conclusion. Bibliography. OUTLINE The Nigerian Civil War was fought to reintegrate and reunify the country. This paper will focus on the causes of the war, strategies employed by the belligerents in the conflict, and the lessons learnt. I NTRODUCTION The Federation of Nigeria, as it is known today, has never really been one homogeneous country, for it's widely differing peoples and tribes. This obvious fact notwithstanding, the former colonial master decided to keep the country one in order to effectively control her vital resources for their economic interests. Thus, for administrative convenience the Northern and Southern Nigeria were amalgamated in 1914. Thereafter the only thing this people had in common was the name of their country since each side had different administrative set - up.This alone was an insufficient basis for true unity. Under normal circumstances the amagalmation ought to have brought the various peoples together and provided a firm basis for the arduous task of establishing closer cultural, social, religious, and linguistic ties vital for true unity among the people.

We have about 50,000 students on this campus with about 13,000 graduate students. Recent discussions about building a new Student Activities Center are well and good, as they will provide a single location for student organizations and leadership groups. However, this does not address the issue of student spaces in individual departments where many graduate students spend a great deal of time.

Linkin' Kennedy Legend: A number of amazing coincidences can be found between the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Example: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both were shot in the head. Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners. Both successors were named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names.

There’s nothing I can say about the parade of still pictures, the faces on the television – except, perhaps, that they all seemed to share a fierce pride in their eyes, photographed for the first time in their Marine Dress Blues.

Names scroll in little yellow letters across the bottom of our glowing screens: Sergeants, and Captains, and Privates. These men have died for us. More will follow. We asked them to go, and they went. All across this nation here and there, sparkling across the map like fireflies on a summer night – sedans are slowly rolling to a stop outside of small, modest homes. Men in uniform emerge, straighten their tunics, and walk slowly up driveways. Doorbells are rung. Maybe here and there smiles will evaporate in shock and surprise as doors are opened, but more likely the face will be one full of stunned realization that the very worst thing in the whole world has happened. And children will be sent to their rooms. And the men will speak in somber, respectful tones. And sons and mothers and fathers and wives will be told that the one thing they love more than anything in this world has been taken away from them, that their sons and daughters will not be coming home, that their fathers or mothers have gone away and will never come back, not ever.
