Re: Biggest abe ever



Wow Jacqulin! That is the biggest abe ever! Dad



March 15, 44 BCE: Julius Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate. The Jews supported Caesar in his fight for power against Crassus and Pompey. Pompey had seized Jerusalem, violated the Holy of Holies and shipped thousands of Judeans off to the slave markets. Eight years later, Crassus came to Jerusalem and stole the Temple Treasury. As a reward for Jewish support, Caesar returned the port of Jaffa to Judean control. He instituted a more humane tax rate that took into account the Sabbatical Year. He allowed the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt and he allowed Jewish communities in the Italian peninsula, including Rome itself, to "organize and thrive."[1]

40 BCE: That Herod was buried at Herodium is unquestioned. The first century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus tells us so in considerable detail. Herod’s earliest recorded connection to the site occurred about three years before he became ruler of Judea. It was a traumatic experience for the future king. By 40 B.C.E. the Parthians from the east had conquered Jerusalem and offered their authority and protection to Herod’s rival, the new Hasmonean king Mattathias Antigonus. Herod fled Jerusalem secretly at night, with his family and bodyguards, in order to find immediate asylum at Masada by the Dead Sea. During that long journey his mother was inujured when her carriage overturned. Josephus tells us Herod was so distraught that he nearly killed himself before learning that his mother would recover. In the meantime the incident meant he had to stop and fight his pursuer, Mattathias Antigonus (who was aided by units of the Parthian army), at the desert site where Herodium would later be built. Herod won this crucial battle, allowing hism to proceed to Masada, where he left his family. He himself repaired to Rome to seek support. But before he left, he apparently made a commitment or a vow that here, at the site of his military triumph, he would be buried.[2]

38 BCE: King Herod was originally an Idomean, meaning he was from southern Palastinea who was able to get himself to be King of the Jews by 38 BCE. [3]

37 B.C.E. In Rome Herod was nominated by Marc Antony and confirmed by the Roman senate as king of Judea, a position he was able to assume in 37 B.C.E.[4]

35 BCE: Aristobulus is High Priest.[5] Loyal to her family Queen Mariamne pleads with Herod bestow a prestigious honor upon her brother Aristobulus. At her request Herod appoints this young man High Priest of the Temple. Little does Mariamne know that she has sealed her brother’s doom. Aristobulus us perhaps the youngest High Priest the people of Jerusalem had ever seen. But when he officiates at the Temple their reaction is overwhelming.

31 B.C.

In 31 B.C. there was a devastating earthquake in Judea that left thirty thousand dead. Those who despised Herod and all he represented saw it as the beginning of God’s judgment upon the Jews for accommodagting themselves to Roman rule. [6]

30 B.C.

Beginning of Roman domination.

28-27 B.C.E.,: In 28-27 B.C.E., about 12 years after his crucial seurvival, Herod returned to thesite and started building the grand estate that would ultimatelsy house his mortal remains. He initiated the projuct with the construction of a magnificent palace/fortress, later surrounded by an artivivially heightened mounta in that could be seen as far away as the outskierts of Jerusalem. He called the site Herodium. This is the only site among his numerous architectural achievements that he named after himself. [7]



27 BCE

Octavian is made emperor under the Augustus (the Exalted).[8]

25 BCE

To relieve a national famine, Herod uses silver and gold from his palace to buy food in Egypt.[9]

25 BCE

Rmmnants of the Jewish military force sent by King Herod with Aelius Gallus to conquer southern Arabia settle there after the expedition is defeated.[10]

22 BCE

Herod begins constructing the Roman port of Caesarea on the Mediterranean. He also rebuilds the fortress of Samaria, renaming it Sebaste in honor Augustus. Herod builds fortresses and cities all over the land, calling two of them Herodium. ON a hill overlooking the western side of Jerusalem, he constructs a lavish palace. His magnificant refurbishing of the Temple will be completed in 64 CE, long after his death. To finance these projects Herod raises taxes, holding back at times to stave off rebellion.[11]

19 BCE

Augustus reforms Roman family law, seeking to control promiscuity and promote childbearing. Abroad, his aide, Marcus Agrippa, suppresses unrest in Spain.[12]

18 BCE

The sons of Miriamne, Herod’s wife, Alexander and Aristobulus, return from Rome, where Herod had sent them to be raised. Herod marries off the former to the princess of Cappadocia, the latter, to his own niece. Whemn he later suspects them of disloyalty, he has them executed in Sebaste.[13]

16 BCE: Herod and Marcus Agrippa meet on the island of Lesbos, where they apparently planned Agrippa’s visit to Judea.[14]

15 BCE: Netzer dates the Theater’s construction at the Herodium to 15 BCE when Herod hosted the Roman general and statesman Marcus Agrippa at several sites in Judea, including Herodium.[15]

March 15, 351: Constantius II elevates his cousin Gallus to Caesar, and puts him in charge of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. During his rule, Gallus had to deal with a Jewish rebellion in Judea/Palestine. The rebellion, possibly started before Gallus' elevation to Caesar, was crushed by Gallus' general, Ursicinus, who ordered all the rebels slain.[16]

March 15, 1391: “A Jew hating monk” is responsible for starting anti-Jewish riots in Seville, Spain. These riots marked the start of a wave of violence throughout Spain and Portugal which claimed 50,000 lives within less than a year. Many Jews escaped death by converting to Christianity. This marked the emergence of Marranos who were said to number 200,000.[17]

1391

Within Spain, the New Christians, the term applied to Jews who had accepted conversion in 1391, often prospered and achieved prominence in public life.[18]

March 15, 1545: Opening session of the Council of Trent. At the Council of Trent in the 16th century, the Roman Church stated as a theological principle that all men share the responsibility for the Passion—and that Christians bear a particular burden. "In this guilt [for the death of Jesus] are involved all those who fall frequently into sin..." read the catechism of the council.”This guilt seems more enormous in us than in the Jews since, if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory; while we, on the contrary, professing to know him, yet denying him by our actions, seem in some sort to lay violent hands on him."[19]

1545 (temps. James V. and Mary). The summons was finally deserted, August 4th, 1546.[20]

In 1545, Ewin was chief. He was one of the Barons of the Isles, who in that year swore allegiance to the king of England at Knockfergus, in Ireland. In consequence of their close connection with the Macdonalds, the Mackinnons have no history independent of that clan.[21]





Clan MacKinnon “Arms”.[22]

March 15, 1672: Charles II of England issues the Royal Declaration of Indulgence. This declaration was part of the jockeying for power between Roman Catholics, Anglicans and non-Anglican Protestants. Religious rights for Jews were not a part of this measure. Oliver Cromwell, the Protestant civil ruler who temporarily replaced the Stuarts allowed the Jews to re-enter England. Charles II continued his policy and actually expanded the rights and protection for the growing Jewish population. Charles II’s, his successor King James II and the last Catholic King of England further expanded the royal protection of the Jews. Both monarchs appreciated the financial support they received from Jewish bankers. By the time William and Mary had replaced James on the English throne, Jews were too well established in England to ever again be candidates for expulsion and exile.[23]



March 15, 1767

Andrew Jackson was born to Presbyterian Scots-Irish immigrants, Andrew and Elizabeth Jackson in Waxhaw, North Carolina or Cureton’s Pond, South Carolina[24] on March 15, 1767, just weeks after his father's death on March 1, 1767. Both North Carolina and South Carolina have claimed Jackson as a "native son," because the community straddled the state line. Both of Jackson's parents were born in Ireland.[25]



Andrew Jackson's Early Life

Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaws region on the border of North and South Carolina. The exact location of his birth is uncertain, and both states have claimed him as a native son; Jackson himself maintained he was from South Carolina. The son of Irish immigrants, Jackson received little formal schooling. The British invaded the Carolinas in 1780-1781, and Jackson's mother and two brothers died during the conflict, leaving him with a lifelong hostility toward Great Britain.

Jackson read law in his late teens and earned admission to the North Carolina bar in 1787. He soon moved west of the Appalachians to the region that would soon become the state of Tennessee, and began working as a prosecuting attorney in the settlement that became Nashville. He later set up his own private practice and met and married Rachel (Donelson) Robards, the daughter of a local colonel. Jackson grew prosperous enough to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville, and to buy slaves. In 1796, Jackson joined a convention charged with drafting the new Tennessee state constitution and became the first man to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Tennessee. Though he declined to seek reelection and returned home in March 1797, he was almost immediately elected to the U.S. Senate. Jackson resigned a year later and was elected judge of Tennessee's superior court. He was later chosen to head the state militia, a position he held when war broke out with Great Britain in 1812.

Andrew Jackson's Military Career

Andrew Jackson, who served as a major general in the War of 1812, commanded U.S. forces in a five-month campaign against the Creek Indians, allies of the British. After that campaign ended in a decisive American victory in the Battle of Tohopeka (or Horseshoe Bend) in Alabama in mid-1814, Jackson led American forces to victory over the British in the Battle of New Orleans (January 1815). The win, which occurred after the War of 1812 officially ended but before news of the Treaty of Ghent had reached Washington, elevated Jackson to the status of national war hero. In 1817, acting as commander of the army's southern district, Jackson ordered an invasion of Florida. After his forces captured Spanish posts at St. Mark's and Pensacola, he claimed the surrounding land for the United States. The Spanish government vehemently protested, and Jackson's actions sparked a heated debate in Washington. Though many argued for Jackson's censure, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams defended the general's actions, and in the end they helped speed the American acquisition of Florida in 1821.

Jackson's popularity led to suggestions that he run for president. At first he professed no interest in the office, but by 1824 his boosters had rallied enough support to get him a nomination as well as a seat in the U.S. Senate. In a five-way race, Jackson won the popular vote, but for the first time in history no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. The House of Representatives was charged with deciding between the three leading candidates: Jackson, Adams and Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford. Critically ill after a stroke, Crawford was essentially out, and Speaker of the House Henry Clay (who had finished fourth) threw his support behind Adams, who later made Clay his secretary of state. Jackson's supporters raged against what they called the "corrupt bargain" between Clay and Adams, and Jackson himself resigned from the Senate.

Andrew Jackson In the White House

Andrew Jackson won redemption four years later in an election that was characterized to an unusual degree by negative personal attacks. Jackson and his wife were accused of adultery on the basis that Rachel had not been legally divorced from her first husband when she married Jackson. Shortly after his victory in 1828, the shy and pious Rachel died at the Hermitage; Jackson apparently believed the negative attacks had hastened her death. The Jacksons did not have any children but were close to their nephews and nieces, and one niece, Emily Donelson, would serve as Jackson's hostess in the White House.

Jackson was the nation's first frontier president, and his election marked a turning point in American politics, as the center of political power shifted from East to West. "Old Hickory" was an undoubtedly strong personality, and his supporters and opponents would shape themselves into two emerging political parties: The pro-Jacksonites became the Democrats (formally Democrat-Republicans) and the anti-Jacksonites (led by Clay and Daniel Webster) were known as the Whig Party. Jackson made it clear that he was the absolute ruler of his administration's policy, and he did not defer to Congress or hesitate to use his presidential veto power. For their part, the Whigs claimed to be defending popular liberties against the autocratic Jackson, who was referred to in negative cartoons as "King Andrew I."

Bank of the United States and Crisis in South Carolina

A major battle between the two emerging political parties involved the Bank of the United States, the charter of which was due to expire in 1832. Andrew Jackson and his supporters opposed the bank, seeing it as a privileged institution and the enemy of the common people; meanwhile, Clay and Webster led the argument in Congress for its recharter. In July, Jackson vetoed the recharter, charging that the bank constituted the "prostration of our Government to the advancement of the few at the expense of the many." Despite the controversial veto, Jackson won reelection easily over Clay, with more than 56 percent of the popular vote and five times more electoral votes.

Though in principle Jackson supported states' rights, he confronted the issue head-on in his battle against the South Carolina legislature, led by the formidable Senator John C. Calhoun. In 1832, South Carolina adopted a resolution declaring federal tariffs passed in 1828 and 1832 null and void and prohibiting their enforcement within state boundaries. While urging Congress to lower the high tariffs, Jackson sought and obtained the authority to order federal armed forces to South Carolina to enforce federal laws. Violence seemed imminent, but South Carolina backed down, and Jackson earned credit for preserving the Union in its greatest moment of crisis to that date.

Andrew Jackson's Legacy

In contrast to his strong stand against South Carolina, Andrew Jackson took no action after Georgia claimed millions of acres of land that had been guaranteed to the Cherokee Indians under federal law, and he declined to enforce a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Georgia had no authority over Native American tribal lands. In 1835, the Cherokees signed a treaty giving up their land in exchange for territory west of Arkansas, where in 1838 some 15,000 would head on foot along the so-called Trail of Tears. The relocation resulted in the deaths of thousands.

In the 1836 election, Jackson's chosen successor Martin Van Buren defeated Whig candidate William Henry Harrison, and Old Hickory left the White House even more popular than when he had entered it. Jackson's success seemed to have vindicated the still-new democratic experiment, and his supporters had built a well-organized Democratic Party that would become a formidable force in American politics. After leaving office, Jackson retired to the Hermitage, where he died in June 1845.[26]





No. 12.—CRAWFORD TO WASHINGTON



STEWART’S CROSSING, March 15, 1772.

SIR:—I received yours of the 6th of December. I should have had your land run out at the Great Meadows, but Mr. McLain is not come up from his father’s as yet, but is to be up in a few days, and I will have it done and send you a draft of the whole by the first opportunity. I would have had it done as soon as I came up, but he could not do it before he went to . As to Croghan’s claim to the land near Fort Pitt : he claims and is selling any land that any person will buy of him inside or outside of his line, and offers his bond to make a title for it and have no money till then, at ten pounds sterling per hundred acres. He has his surveyors running out land now con­stantly; and he has taken and run out land for himself ten miles clear of his line.

I saw his order to his surveyors, and they were to run out thirty thousand acres of land——one thousand in a tract and if the people will not purchase of him upon those terms, he will let them go to the first that will. People do not know what to do. Some, in order to prevent disputes, enter the lands with him; and then they have six pounds per tract to pay his surveyor, which occasions much trouble. When it will end I do not know.

There is no certainty yet of the charter government taking place as was proposed when you were at Fort Pitt, or Colonel Croghan’s grant being confirmed. Some dispute its being ever confirmed. I hear no talk of the traders having apy land on the Ohio. There is some talk of a government to be on the Ohio, at the mouth.

I shall do my endeavors to keep your land I took up for you; but I am afraid I shall be hard put to it. I have, however, built four good cabins on it, and cleared about an acre at each, fit for the plow, which I think will hold it till there is some way of securing it.

I have seen McMahon’s land he had to sell, but it was not such as it was recommended to me; and, besides, there is a dispute about part of it. A man has built a cabin on the best of it; but, if it had not been so, it would not have suited you: it is too hilly and not rich. There will not be a possibility of taking up such a quantity as you want near Fort Pitt, as there are such numbers of people out now looking for land, and one taking another’s land from him. As soon as a man’s back is turned another is on his land. The man that is strong and able to make others afraid of him seems to have the best chance as times go now. Probably I may fall in with such a body of land On some of the small creeks down the Ohio; if so, I will take it for you, and as soon as I can I will send you a draft and description of the place. I am, etc.[27]

March 15, 1776: Lord Camden said in the British House of Lords, March 15, 1776:

" Is there one of your lordships who does not perceive most clearly that

the whole is a mere mercenary bargain for the hire of troops on the one

side and the sale of human blood on the other ; and that the devoted

wretches thus purchased for slaughter are mere mercenaries in the

worst sense of the word?" To increase their coffers, filled now "with

blood and tears," and to enable them with more splendor to support

the coarse luxuries of a sensual court, these petty princes kidnapped

their poor subjects in the fields, in their shops, and even in their

churches, and forced them into the conscription. Yet the slaves of

these despots are the men whom we find throughout the war fighting

for the British crown, and dying as Colonel von Donop said he died, —

" a victim of my ambition and the avarice of my sovereign." — Parlia-

mentary History of England, vol. xviii., London, 1813. [30]

To George Rogers Clark from Thomas Jefferson

March 15, 1781:

…John Francis Moore who was sometime ago sent to purchase in the vicinities of Fort Pitt provisions for the Western Posts, is now ordered to extend his purchases to 200000 rations of Beef & Flour, and to provide 100 light Barges fit for transporting Men and Stores either down or up stream. These to be all in readiness by the 1st of March as we are not certain whether he may not be gone down the river, these powers were directed to himself, or in case of his absence to any Agent he should have appointed and if he appointed none, then to Mr William Harrison of Monongalia.

At Pittsburg we depend on orders to be given by you for the removal of Men and Stores to the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.

The County Lieutenants of Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson are ordered to rendezvous at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 March (March 15) 500 of their Militia, to be furnished between those Counties in proportion to their numbers, & to have ready at the same place and by the same day 50 Canoes each: Money is sent to pay for these. In those Counties you inform us you expect 100000 rations will be provided for you, you will of course order them to the falls of Ohio.

All the preceeding orders (except as to the numbers of Men from each County) are submitted to any alterations you may think necessary, and you are authorized to supply any deficiencies in them. The Staff Officers are submitted absolutely to you, and on removal of any of them by you or their death, resignation or declining to act you are to appoint others. The County Lieutenants are desired to keep up a constant correspondence with you, & the Staff Officers to inform you from time to time of their progress and to receive your orders. Thus you will perceive that we expect all to be in readiness at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.

What number of Men and whether of Regulars or Militia you shall leave to garrison the Posts at the falls & Mouth of the Ohio, is left to yourself. As the latter however is exposed to attack from an Enemy against whom this expedition will be no diversion of force, and as it is distant from succour, it is recommended to you to leave it surely garrisoned, and to take measures for its being supported from the Spanish side of the Missisipi should it be necessary.

You will then with such part of your force as you shall not leave in garrison proceed down the Ohio and up the Wabache or along such other route as you shall think best against Detroit. By the construction of a fort or forts for retreat at such place or places as you shall think best, and by such other cautions as you find necessary, you will provide for the ultimate safety of your men in case of a repulse. Should you succeed in the reduction of fort Detroit, and a hopeful prospect open to you of acquiring possession of Lake Erie, or should such prospect open during the investiture of the fort you are to pursue it. As soon as you shall have accomplished both Objects of the fort and Lake, or shall have accomplished the one and find the other impracticable; or as soon • as you shall find that neither is practicable you are to consider your expedition as ended, and to withdraw your whole force if you attain neither Object, or, if you acquire one or both of them, to retain for a Garrison at Detroit so many of the Illinois & Crochets battalions as you may think necessary and to send the rest back accross the Ohio; in the event indeed of declining to attempt the reduction of Detroit YOU are at liberty to consider whether some cnterprize against the hostile Nations of Indians may not he undertaken with your force, and if you think it can, and that it will be expedient for the public good and eligible on view of all circumstances you will undertake it and detain your force ‘till you shall have finished it. In every event, the Militia on their return are to be marched back to their

• Counties under their own Officers and there to be discharged.

Should you succeed in the reduction of the Post, you are to • promise protection to the Persons and property of the French and American Inhabitants, or of such at least as shall not on tender refuse to take the Oath of fidelity to this Commonwealth. You are to permit them to continue under the laws and form of Goverment under which they at present live, only substituting the authority of this Commonwealth in all instances in lieu of that of his Britannic Majesty, and exercising yourself under that authority till further order those powers which the British Commandant of the post, or his Principal in Canada hath used regularly to exercise: To the Indian Neighbors you will hold out either fear or friendship as their disposition. and your actual situation may render most expedient.

Finally, our distance from the scene of action, the impossibility of foreseeing the many circumstances which may render proper a change of plan or direliction of object, and above all our full confidence in your bravery, discretion, and abilities induce us to submit the whole of our instructions to your own Judgment, to be altered or abandoned whenever any event shall turn up which may appear to you to render such alteration or abandonment necessary; remembering that we confide to you the persons of our Troops and Citizens which we think it a duty to risque as long as no longer than t.he object and prospect of attaining it may seem worthy of risque. If that Post be reduced we shall be quiet in future on our frontiers, and thereby immense Treasures of blood and Money be saved, we shall be at leisure to know our whole force to the rescue of our eastern Country from subjugation, we shall divert through our own Country a branch of commerce which the European States have thought worthy of the most important struggles and sacrifices, and in the event of peace on terms which have been contemplated by some powers we shall form to the American union a barrier against the dangerous extension of the British Province of Canada and add to the Empire of liberty an extensive and fertile Country, thereby converting dangerous Enemies into valuable Friends.

Memoirs, Correspondence and Manuscripts of General Lafayette



Author: Lafayette



TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.



(ORIGINAL.)



York, March 15th, 1781.



My Dear General,--The number of small frigates and privateers that are

in the bay, made it impossible for me to carry the detachment farther

down than Annapolis, and I have requested the Governor of Maryland as

well as the principal officers of the detachment, to give out that we

are going to join General Greene; but the object of the expedition is

so perfectly well known every where, that our sole dependence to keep

Arnold must be upon the apprehension he has of a French fleet being

cruizing off the capes.



For my part, I came in a barge from Annapolis, and very luckily escaped

the dangers that were in the way. Colonel Harrison will have given to

your Excellency a minute detail of the reasons which have prompted me

to this measure. I have taken his advice on the matter, and have no

doubt but that your Excellency (considering the probability that no

frigate would have been sent) will approve of the step I have taken to

forward as much as possible both the advantage of the expedition and

the honor of the American arms.



On my arrival, (yesterday afternoon) I have found that Baron de Stuben

had been very active in making preparations, and agreeable to what he

tells me, we shall have five thousand militia ready to operate. This,

with the Continental detachment, is equal to the business, and we might

very well do without any land force from Newport.



By papers found in the baggage of a British officer, (taken in a boat)

it seems that General Gregory had a correspondence with the enemy. The

Baron has suspended him, but he is still with the troops.



Arnold is so well acquainted with the coming of the detachment, and his

object is so well known, that, as I said before, our only chance to

keep him must be the idea of a French fleet being off the capes; he is

fortifying at Portsmouth, and trying to get provisions. There has been

some trifling skirmishes with the militia.



To my great disappointment the French fleet have not yet appeared. If

the project has not been given up they must be expected every minute;

they had double the time which they wanted, and such winds as ought

have brought them in four days.



I wanted to hold up the idea of my going to the Southward; but the

Baron says that if the detachment is not announced, the militia will

desert. He wanted me to take the command immediately, but I thought it

more polite not to do it until the detachment arrives or operations are

begun.



In your first letter to the Baron, I wish my dear General, you will

write to him that I have been much satisfied with his preparations. I

want to please him, and harmony shall be my first object. As in all

cases, (even this of my going to the Southward and coming here to make

arrangements with the Baron) I would reconnoitre the enemies; I will

take an opportunity of doing it as soon as possible. They have not as

yet been reconnoitred by the Baron, and I think it therefore more

necessary for me to see with my own eyes.



As I have just arrived, my dear General, I cannot give you a very exact

account of matters.



This letter I send by duplicate, and have the honor to be with the

highest respect and most tender affection, yours, &c.

Ref. 33.9 Conrad and Caty by Gary Goodlove 2003





March 15, 1810, John H. Taylor was born in Montgomery Co. OH (Father of Samuel H. Taylor who was married to Nancy Godlove).

1810: The increase of Guard came in 1810 from the incorporation of the Dutch Royal Guard. The Dutch regiment became 2nd Regiment of Grenadiers before being demoted to being 3rd Regiment of Grenadiers in 1811. [34]

1810: In 1810 the Imperial Guard was officially divided into Old, Middle Guard and Young Guard.
Only the 1st Regiment of Foot Grenadiers and 1st Regiment of Chasseurs carried Eagle.
The 2nd Grenadiers and 2nd Chasseurs, and all the regiments of Middle and Young Guard carried fanions.
The voltigeurs carried red fanions while the tirailleurs carried white ones.

Napoleon explained to Berthier (chief of staff) his intentions: "I intend that the Young Guard subalterns and NCOs should rank with those in the line, its NCOs shall be drawn from fusiliers of Middle Guard, and those of fusiliers from the Old Guard. In the line I shall use the Young Guardsmen as corporals and Middle Guardsmen as sergeants.

[27] The Washington-Crawford Letters, C. W. Butterfield, 1877

[28] The Late War is the French and Indian War which ended c1763. This is the form of the fort begun c1759 and the foundations and a surviving blockhouse can be seen today at Point State Park in Pittsburgh. Brown shows a sequence of plans dating from a manuscript sketch of Fort Duquesne in 1754 up to the 'Plan of the New Fort at Pittsburgh', November 1759, which is almost identical to this image. The history of the forts at Pittsburgh is complex. The first fort was a rudimentary one built by Virginians in 1754 and called Fort Prince George. It was destroyed the same year by the French who built Fort Duquesne (see 1761). On December 1, 1758, the ruins of Fort Duquesne were officially renamed and from then on the Forks of the Ohio was called Pittsburgh. A temporary fort was built c1758-59 near the Monongahela River to house troops under the command of Colonel Hugh Mercer, and was called Mercer's Fort, see Brown, No. 35. This was followed by Fort Pitt begun c1759, which took several years to build. It was abandoned by the British in 1772, taken over by Virginians in 1774 and renamed Fort Dunmore. It was again abandoned when the new Fort Fayette was constructed in 1791-92. This newer fort was used by General Anthony Wayne during the Indian wars in the Northwest Territory.

[36] Grant wrote to banks informing him that, whe rgarded “the successo of your present move as of great importance in reducing the number of troops necessary for protecting the navigation of the Mississippi he wanted him to “commence no move for the further acquisition of territory” beyond Shreveport, which, he emphasized, “should be taken as soon as possible,” so that, leaving Steele to hold what had been won, he himself could return with his command to New Orleans in time for the eastward movement Grand had in mind form him to undertake in conjunction with Sherman’s advance on Atlanta. Above all, Banks was told, if it appeared that Shreveport could not be taken before the end of April, he was to return Sherman’s 10,000 veterans by the middle of that month, “even if it leads to the abandonment of the main object of your expedition.”
