The Battle Of The Creek

The three day battle was action packed from start to finish. It all started at about 5:30 am, with a single shot fired over Marsh Creek. After a single shot, all hell broke loose. The Union suffered important losses, most notably the loss of General Reynolds. General Lee arrived on the battlefield near noon, after receiving word of the battle. A single Confederate division drove back two Union brigades, who retreated to Cemetery Hill. General Lee decided to attack the Union soldiers at Cemetery Hill to prohibit reinforcements. General Ewell declined the option to attack, and the first day of battle came to an end. Meanwhile, the Union gathered reinforcements as General Lee feared.

The American Civil War has become a point of controversy and argument when discussing key events in shaping America. The arguments that arise when discussing the war tend to focus on whether the Confederate was constitutionally justified in seceding, or whether the North had the right to prevent the secession. However, when discussing the America Civil War and the idea of separation, it is important to be mindful that separation did not simply end at the state level. Letters written by Jesse Rolston, Jr. and Jedediah Hotchkiss portray two significantly different attitudes toward the war, despite the fact that the writers both fought for the Confederate States and give accounts of the same battle, one of which ended in the Confederate’s favor. When examining the documents, both writers express different viewpoints on life on and off the battlefield. This significant difference represents a division amongst the Confederate army.

The Battle of the Chosin Reservoir was a pivotal battle in the Korean War. The battle was a brutal 17 day fight in bitterly cold weather fought from 27 November to 13 December 1950. [1] During the battle the United States X Corps was attacked by the Chinese 9th Army in the vicinity of the Chosin reservoir. The Chinese forces quickly surrounded the US troops and forced them to fight a retrograde attack in order to fight their way out to friendly lines to the south. Due to poor Chinese intelligence on UN forces and logistical shortcomings the UN forces were able to evade total annihilation and were able to retreat to safety with the majority of their men and equipment intact.

Over the recent years the demand on the parklands have increased, becoming more central to the local community. As a result, this corridor of parkland needs to be maintained and appreciated as a natural area with safe recreational access, and the importance of the creek line should be recognised as both an environmental and recreational area, central to the City of Ryde.

Major General Sterling Price, commander of the Missouri State Guard, needed help to oppose Lyon’s forces in Springfield. He called upon Confederate commander Ben McCulloch. McCulloch agreed and moved 5,000 men into Missouri. This proved to be the first invasion of Confederate troops into Union territory. After McCulloch’s men joined Price’s they set out for Springfield. During the advance, McCulloch and Price had several skirmishes with Lyon, and eventually settled into camp at Wilson’s Creek on August 6. The local

By 1864 the Union troops were closing in on the Confederacy. Major ports and cities had been taken over. North Carolina and the port at Wilmington were becoming major targets for the Union army and in November, 1864 a plan was put into place to move Union troops for the first assault on Fort Fisher. In a letter written by Richard Delafield, general and chief engineer for the U.S. Army, Delafield discusses the plan for the destruction and the capture of Fort Fisher and Fort Caswell. Fort Caswell was located on Oak Island, south of Fort Fisher, but also protecting the entrance to the Cape Fear River. Delafield’s letter details the strategy for the destruction of Fort Fisher:

In 2009 a planned re-enactment of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham was set to take place on the original battlefield in light of its 250th anniversary. However the historical re-enactment of the 1759 battle was cancelled by The National Battlefields Commission for security concerns that could, as CBC News wrote, “turn into a modern-day conflict.” There is speculation other factors influenced the withdrawal of the re-enactment such as the overwhelming negative responses from the francophones in Quebec. These negative reactions were supported by the devastation resulting from the loss of the battle in 1759 and the modern-day neglect of Quebec and French culture. I commend the decision to cancel the re-enactment of the Battle because of

The early 1800s were dark times for the United States. Though free of its rule, the newly-formed nation now had to face Britain once again in the War of 1812. Settlers were moving into the Great Plains and to the West, forcing Native American tribes to relocate. Rising tensions between the U.S. and the native tribes, and conflicts among the tribes themselves, made the perfect conditions for another war. In 1813, tensions finally snapped when a faction of the Creek Indians known as the Red Sticks started a civil war against those Creeks who supported the National Council, a war that eventually grew to involve militias from several U.S. states and other Native American tribes. Although the exact cause of the war is uncertain, what the war was, some major battles of the war, and how it relates back to To Kill a Mockingbird are known.

The Battle of Chelsea Creek, also known as the Battle of Noddle’s Island, Battle of Hog Island, and the Battle of the Chelsea Estuary, took place on May 27 and 28, 1775 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. It is the first naval engagement and the second battle fought during the American Revolution. This battle was a military conflict between Great Britain, led by Samuel and Thomas Graves, and the US colonies, led by John Stark and Israel Putnam. Since the British held the city of Boston under their control, the colonialists in the area were prepared to drive them out. The colonials began to burn the hay that the British fed to their animals, while eliminating or removing any livestock on Noddle Island. The British forces had arrived and forced

The battle of the wilderness was the bloodiest battle in the civil war.  Over tens thousand people died, four hundred people burned,  And two hundred people suffercated.  The opening battle of Grant’s, sustained offensive against the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia known as the Overland Campaign, was fought at the Wilderness, May 5th thru 7th in1864.

This complicated war full of bloodshed and death started merely by an assault of a Confederate left flank. Deemed the single most deadly day in American military history, the Union (who had more men) swept many attacks towards the Confederate army. Even though the South had more spirit and useful tactics the sheer numbers of the Union made this battle one to remember. They fought for many hours in Miller's cornfield to then make a last stand at Antietam Creek. With the only sign of cover being trees and the stone bridge which was worn by bullets and bodies you could tell this fight was going to be bad. The Union captured the bridge and with a final push and counter attack from another Union division the Union were victorious and were another

The battle of Wounded Knee was considered one of America's most unforgettable moments in history. It all started in December 15 1890, when reservation police tried to arrest famous Sioux chief, "Sitting Bull" whom they mistakened for a "Ghost Dancer" and he was killed during the process of the arrest, infuriating the Indians at Pine Ridge.

Extensive amounts of litter were observed both in (figure 8) and around the creek, this aspect of human interaction clearly is degrative within this environment Increased flood risk due to surface impermeability this disrupts the water cycle and increases subsequent erosion

Brooker Creek is the largest natural area in Pinellas County. It is a preserved area where most of the organisms are protected by the state and cannot be touched or taken. This hike had a durability of one hour and it consisted on walking the entire trail and observing the different ecosystems found at the preserve. In order to see the different wild organisms that get to call the preserve home, we had to walk for around two hours. Some of the organisms mentioned by the guide of the hike and seeing at the preserve were: Golden orbs spiders, Coffee plants, lichens, mosses, sable palms, palmettos, blue gray knatt catchers, red maple trees, ferns, and tupelo trees. Although these organisms are very different from one another they are all able to live at Brooker Creek because of the different environments it has and offers its inhabitants.

Environmental historian William Cronon best described the importance of the interpretive lens of nature and thus the importance of Mark Fiege’s “The Republic of Nature” when he said, “There is nothing in the world- nothing in place or time or history- that is ever outside of nature or the environment” (Cronon XII). Put simply, everything and everyone is a part of nature; the air we breathe, the people we meet, and the decisions we make are all a result of nature silently influencing us and our ancestors at every point. Hence, we cannot exclude this all-encompassing determiner from our minds when examining the past. Author Mark Fiege not only includes the view of nature when examining some of the most important events and advancements in American
