“This Is In Brief My Remenence Of My Army Life” The Civil War Memoir Of Louis Bir, J. D. Fowler
“This Is In Brief My Remenence Of My Army Life” The Civil War Memoir Of Louis Bir, J. D. Fowler
Faculty Articles
Louis Bir was a typical Civil War soldier in most respects. He was young, only nineteen years old at the time of his enlistment in the Ninety-Third Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment in 1862, and he was anxious for a grand adventure. For the remainder of the war, Bir traveled across the Western Theater, experiencing the horrors of combat, the agony of wounds, and the monotony of camp life. Fortunately for future generations of historians, Bir was atypical of most Civil War soldiers in that he left a record of his experiences. This record offers a fascinating glimpse into the life …

Be All You Can Be (Without The Protection Of The Constitution), Keith M. Harrison
Law Faculty Scholarship
[Excerpt] “Despite the generous inclusion by President Reagan of the many soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in the concept of "the people" of this republic, it is not altogether dear whether one whose status has changed from ordinary "citizen" to "a member of the armed forces" can legitimately claim any of the constitutional protections of citizenship until he or she is no longer a member of the armed forces. In the course of this nation's history the Supreme Court has denied some or all of the protection of the Constitution to many groups of people, including African-Americans, 2 women,3 Native …
Review Of Sentinel Of The Southern Plains: Fort Richardson And The Northwest Texas Frontier, 1866-1878, Michael L. Tate
Review Of Sentinel Of The Southern Plains: Fort Richardson And The Northwest Texas Frontier, 1866-1878, Michael L. Tate
History Faculty Publications
Slightly more than a century ago the dreaded "Comanche Moon" of each month virtually assured devastating Indian raids upon the isolated ranches of Texas' northwestern frontier. No issue raised more ire in the state legislature or produced more animosity between state and federal officials than did this. To protect these exposed settlements, the War Department established a thin line of military posts from the Red River to the Rio Grande. Anchoring the northern zone was Fort Richardson, established in 1866 with a garrison to patrol the upper Brazos River country and to turn back raiding parties of Comanches and Kiowas …

Cornelius L. Moore: A Northern Soldier's Perspective On The Civil War, Roger T. Crew Jr.
Cornelius L. Moore: A Northern Soldier's Perspective On The Civil War, Roger T. Crew Jr.
History Theses & Dissertations
This is a study of the Civil War through the letters of Cornelius L. Moore, a New York soldier in the Army of the Potomac. His letters span the years between August 1861- August 1864 and reveal a typical Union soldier's attitudes and experiences. Moore discussed such topics as the draft, the use of black soldiers, army leadership, and soldier life. His insight and frankness about these and other subjects make this story more than simply another account of a Civil War participant.
