24 Days of La Fayette: December 6th - Major Carter Page

The American born Carter Page (1758 to April 9, 1825) was La Fayette aide-de-camp from June of 1781 until November of the same year. Six eventful months in total. But his war service started long before his stint as La Fayette’s aide-de-camp. Page was commissioned a Captain of the 3rd Virginia Regiment, a Regiment of Dragoons, under the direct command of Colonel George Baylor, on April 10, 1778 – the Marquis de La Fayette in his position as Major-General was the commander of the whole division. On April 11, 1778, George Washington wrote to Colonel Stephen Moylan:

Capt. Jones and Lieut. Page have not been in Camp to my knowledge.

“From George Washington to Colonel Stephen Moylan, 11 April 1778,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 14, 1 March 1778 – 30 April 1778, ed. David R. Hoth. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2004, pp. 479–480.] (09/04/2022)

Washington still referred to Page by his former rank. While the muster rolls of Valley Forge noted his commission in April 1778, they did not note the date of his arrival at camp. Page came from a prominent Virginian family, and it is therefore no too surprising, that he was made a Captain by the age of 19/20. Further promotions were scarcer, though by the end of the war he had been promoted to the rank of Major. On May 18, 1781, La Fayette wrote in a letter to Nathanael Greene:

There are also Some few Volunteer Gentlemen Under Captain Page. They are Very clever But Volonteers. We Had Some Militia Horse. Their time Was out and they Went Home this Morning. Happy I Have Been that we Have Got Some Accoutrements furnished to them By the public.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, La Fayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776-1790, Volume 4, April 1, 1781-December 23, 1781, Cornell University Press, 1981, p. 110-114.

Carter Page was at this point in time not yet one of La Fayette’s aide-de-camps and I actually knew of only one letter that La Fayette wrote Page while the latter served in the described capacity. The letter was written on July 5, 1781 and the Marquis instructs the Captain that the British allegedly plan to infect the population of the Williamsburg area with smallpox. La Fayette instructs Page to come up with ideas to thwart this design.

Carter Page was born to Jane Byrd (Page) and John Williamson Page. He was brother to f Mann Page III, William Byrd Page, Jane Byrd Page, Judith Carter (Page) Nelson, Mary Page, Maria Molly Page, Matthew Page, Robert Page, Lucy Page and Thomas Page.

He married twice during his life. Firstly Mary Cary (Page) shortly after the War of Independence on April 4, 1783. The couple were the parents of eight children, namely John Cary Page, Henry Page, Carter Page, Lavinia Randolph Page, Carter Page, Mann Page, William Page and Mary Isham Page. Four of their children, Carter Page, Lavinia Randolph Page, Carter Page and William Page died young, none older than three years old. Their youngest daughter Mary Isham Page also died young. She was killed at the age of 17 in the Richmond Theatre fire in Virginia, on December 26, 1811.

Carter married a second time; 1799, about two years after the death of his first wife, he married Lucy Nelson (Page). With Lucy, Carter had an additional seven children, namely Thomas Nelson Page, William Nelson Page, Lucy Jane (Page) Cushing, Nelson Page, Robert Burwell Page, Thomas Page and Mary Maria (Page) Dame. This time, thankfully all of the children except young Thomas Nelson Page survived infancy and early childhood.

Carter’s children married and had families of their own. Their descendants were still proud to cite Carter Page’s Revolutionary War service and two of his descendants were featured in different books, including elaborate ancestry charts.

First is the Reverend George W. Dame, the husband to Carters youngest daughter Mary Maria:

Secondly we have a veteran of the American Civil War, Richard Canning Moore Page, MD.

connection between wartime administration & federalist-lean?

There's an argument that wartime service and experiencing Congress' failures firsthand as Washington's aide de camp pushed Hamilton further into the ideals that would later be seen as Federalist: a national instead of state outlook, a permanent military power, and a strong, efficient government.

I was wondering if that argument can be applied on a broader scale: is there an overall connection between revolutionary wartime administration and federalist-leaning political beliefs?

I'm by no means qualified but for my own curiosity's sake, I tried to find the political inclinations of former leaders in the war as well as members of Washington's family, who arguably should have seen the same inefficiencies as Hamilton.

Major Generals:

Washington: Tried very hard to be nonpartisan, but pretty federalist when all's said and done. Especially in 2nd term as president and in last years of life Horatio Gates: Supported Jefferson's presidency, so assuming he was leaning Democratic-Republican? Henry Knox: Federalist Philip Schuyler: Federalist William Alexander, Lord Stirling: Not sure John Sullivan: Federalist, led drive in New Hampshire for Constitution's ratification Thomas Mifflin: Federalist according to Wikipedia (was also aide to GW from June to August 1775) Arthur St. Clair: Federalist. Governor of Northwest Territory, removed by Jefferson in 1802 due to political party differences. Benjamin Lincoln: Federalist, strong policies and presence in Massachusetts Thomas Conway: Unreliable source says Federalist William Moultrie: Some sites say Federalist but he had falling out with Washington because of his pro-French actions towards Genet. Possibly nonpartisan.

Washington's family (Aides, Culper, Life Guard. If they died before we can quantify as "Federalist", then not included):

Note: I tried to include length of service and timeline, arguably important (there during Valley Forge or good period?), but it's difficult in consideration of leave and such. Used Wikipedia's dates.

Edmund Randolph (August - November 75): Wiki says Federalist but I know enough about him that he was often the swinging vote in Washington's cabinet, and that he didn't sign the Constitution because he thought it too strong. Tench Tilghman (August 76 - June 80 | June 80 - Nov 83): Died in 1786. I shouldn't include him but raise a glass for our hardworking Tilghman. Robert Harrison (Nov 75 - May 76 | Military Sec May 76 - 81): Died in 1790. Wikipedia says Federalist. John Fitzgerald (Nov 76 - July 78): Couldn't find John Walker (Feb - March 77): Unreliable source says Federalist Samuel Blachley Webb (June 76 - Jan 77): Couldn't find William Grayson (Assistant Sec. July - August 76 | Aide August 76 - Jan 77): Leader of Anti-Federalist faction with Mason, Monroe, etc. died in 1790 Alexander Contee Hanson Sr. (Assistant Sec. June - Sep 76): Federalist according to Wiki Alexander Hamilton (March 77 - April 81): Is this even a question? Stephen Moylan (March 76 - June 76 | Sept. 76 - Jan 77): "Firm Federalist" according to Founders Online James McHenry (May 78 - August 80): Federalist, GW's Secretary of War in 2nd term when cabinet members were much more partisan. Richard Kidder Meade (March 77 - November 80): Couldn't find. I know that he was very close with Hamilton, which makes me think it possible that their politics had some similarities? But entirely speculation. Hodijah Baylies (May 82 - Dec 83): Federalist. According to Founders Online, Gallatin was advised against Baylies because he was a "decided and we believe a sentimental federalist”. David Cobb (June 81 - Jan 83 | June 83 - Dec 83): Wiki says Federalist Peregrine Fitzhugh (July 81 - Oct 81): Not sure if same Peregrine Fitzhugh, but in a letter to Jefferson in 1807, said: "It is true I have been called a Federalist, and feel a pride in being so: but my Federalism is firmed in those principles which dictated the correct and memorable declaration that we were all Federalists all republicans" William Stephens Smith (July 81 - June 82): Federalist (member of Congress as Federalist in 1812) David Humphreys (June 80 - Dec 83): Federalist. He was part of the Hartford Wits and wrote the poem The Anarchiad. "In 1802, Thomas Jefferson...decided to replace Humphreys...Historians speculate that Humphreys's closeness to the Federalist Party motivated Jefferson’s decisions." from Mt. Vernon Richard Varick (Aide & Priv Sec May 81 - Dec 83): Apparently Federalist and later mayor of New York Benjamin Walker (Jan 82 - Dec 83): Federalist, elected to Congress as Federalist

Caleb Gibbs (May 76 - Dec 80): Couldn't find Nathaniel Sackett: Couldn't find Benjamin Tallmadge (1778 - 1783): Federalist, part of minority in Congress during Jefferson & Madison administrations

Other aides who might've had administrative work, although I'm not sure:

Aaron Burr: Very short run with Washington, and Israel Putnam's aide. Technically Democratic-Republican, but some historians have noted his politics did not always align with a party.

James Monroe: Aide to Stirling, Republican-Democratic

Concerns:

First concern: I'm not sure if the other major generals' aides would see as much administrative work directly with Congress as Washington's aides. I'm under the impression that other generals would report to Washington, than Congress, but I'm not sure.

Second concern: I also want to add that other factors would have most definitely played a role, such as familial and economic interests, which may or may not have been influenced by the war. Still, I thought it would be an interesting exercise.

Third concern: A lot of this is very shallow research as I did not have the time or energy to really dig into all of them. Please let me know if there is any inaccurate information (even Federalist or Democratic Republican is a very broad term and I'm sure their beliefs varied).

Please let me know if you see any inaccurate information, or anyone/some branch I did not consider!

Turn Week 2023:

History Nerdery!

Hello, and Happy Fourth of July! For today's Turn Week, I wanted to talk about Benjamin's regiment in the Continental Army. We all know he's a Connecticut Dragoon, but what does that mean and what did they do, exactly? I'm going to let you know! The Continental Cavalry is my favorite unit in the army, and I actually did an Honors Research Project on them last year for my college. WARNING: this is going to be LONG. I'm sorry. Kind of.

What is the Continental Cavalry?

The cavalry is the mounted troops in a military force, meaning they fight on horseback. At the time of the Revolution, the cavalry was considered an elite and necessary force for a proper military. Combat on horseback was dangerous- you not only had to avoid cannon and gunfire, but you had to attack other mounted troops with lances and sabers of their own.

There are two types of cavalry: light cavalry and heavy cavalry. The light cavalry had three primary duties. Scouting, which was to patrol enemy forces, movements, and the terrain surrounding camps and battlefields, which also played into reconnaissance. They also served as messengers to officers on and off the battlefield. On the other hand, heavy cavalry was troops used in action. Their objective was to lead charges and weaken the enemy’s unmounted troops, like going after their flanks. They also performed raids/ambushes or small skirmishes against the enemy. Their combat was on and off the battlefield.

Due to the near constant lack of funds for the Continentals, their Dragoons performed both light and heavy cavalry roles. A dragoon/trooper is a soldier who fights either on horseback or on foot, depending on the amount of horse available. They used weapons such as: a cavalry saber, a shortgun, and a musket.

Unlike the British army, which brought over cavalry forces, at the beginning of the war, there was not an official cavalry for the Continentals. Some state and organized militias had mounted troops- such as the Philadelphia Light Horse- but professional, commissioned troops had not seen action.

After seeing the performance of the British cavalry during the New York Campaign, General George Washington realized his army needed horses of their own. Writing to Congress in late 1776, “From the Experience I have had in this Campaign… I am Convinced there is no carrying on the War without them.”

What made up the Continental Cavalry?

In 1777, the cavalry's first year in action, there were four regiments of Light Dragoons.

The 1st Regiment of Dragoons- from Virginia, also known as Bland's Light Horse. Their uniforms were originally the "classic" Continental coat: blue with red facings, but they then changed the standard to brown with green facings.

The 2nd Regiment, also known as the Connecticut Light Dragoons, Colonel Elisha Sheldon and Benjamin Tallmadge's force, mustered from Connecticut, hence the name. Their uniform was blue with buff facings.

The 3rd Regiment, aka Colonel Baylor's or Lady Washington's Light Horse, in honor of Martha Washington. Their uniform was white with blue facings (one of my favorite uniforms in the army.)

And the 4th Regiment, led by Colonel Stephen Moylan. His troops originally wore red! coats, and this lead to some incidents of friendly fire. At Washington's order, the regiment changed to green with red facings.

How does this relate to Turn: Benjamin Tallmadge and His Dragoons.

Although the show does not get into heavy detail about Benjamin Tallmadge's battle experience, we know what battles he was present at with his regiment.

1777 the cavalry's first years as professional troops in battle. Both had very... different outcomes, let's say. Both were also mentioned or briefly shown in season 2 of Turn, and my research focused on this.

During the Campaigns, a set of troops from each regiment of Dragoons was stationed with General Washington in Pennsylvania, led by Bland, Moylan, Baylor, Sheldon, and Tallmadge.

Benjamin Tallmadge and his soldiers were present at both the Battles of Brandywine and Germantown.

At Brandywine, Washington first used the dragoons for only scouting, not combat. But as the British went after his insecure right flank, he frantically sent units of soldiers and cavalry to prevent the British from getting to the road along and to Brandywine Creek. The cavalry also acted as messengers to officers during this battle, but insufficient preparation and speed led to delayed reports. The cavalry did lead a charge that allowed Washington to retreat, but the day was lost. Afterwards, the British marched into the Continental capital of Philadelphia.

After Brandywine, Washington needed another battle to try and take back Philadelphia. With a night march, he decided to attack the British near their camp in Germantown, Pennsylvania, a small village outside the city.

Washington had four columns, 2 made up of Continental forces and two of state militias. Just as at Brandywine, his right wing was commanded by Sullivan, and his left by Greene. The Dragoons were now under their newly commissioned commander, General Pulaski. Tallmadge stated in his memoirs that, “if every division of the army had performed its allotted part, it seems as if we must have succeeded.”

Unfortunately, this would not be the outcome at Germantown. At the beginning of the battle, the Continentals were winning. Part of the camp was captured. A heavy fog and rain set over the battlefield, and the British used this fog to their advantage. They retreated into a local country house and created a stalemate.

Benjamin Tallmadge and his dragoons were first stationed with Sullivan’s division, close upon “the scene of the action.” As the battle turned against the Continental forces and the troops became victim to enemy and friendly fire, Washington ordered him to use his 2nd Dragoons to block any further retreat, to no avail. Germantown was lost.

Germantown was the last official engagement of the Philadelphia campaign. But on June 28, 1778, the Continental Army and the Cavalry engaged the forces at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey. Due to proper military training thanks to the Inspector General Baron von Steuben and six months of waiting at Valley Forge, the army emerged as a proper fighting force and prevailed against the British. The victory allowed the Continentals to take back their capital and keep Washington in as Commander in Chief.

Monmouth is the shown in the finale of season 2- Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot- with Benjamin leading his dragoons into the battle.

After the 1777 campaigns, Tallmadge and his dragoons would stay up north, particularly New York, to patrol and engage the enemy in raids. They also participated in the Battles of Stony Point and Fort St. George, which were shown in seasons 3 and 4 of Turn.

TODAY IN HISTORY: September 9, 1776 - The Continental Congress officially named the union of states the United States. The first documented use of the phrase "United States of America" is a letter from January 2, 1776. Stephen Moylan, a Continental Army aide to General George Washington, wrote to Joseph Reed, Washington's aide-de-camp, seeking to go "with full and ample powers from the United States of America to Spain" to seek assistance in the Revolutionary War effort. The first known public usage is an anonymous essay published in the Williamsburg newspaper, The Virginia Gazette, on April 6, 1776.

Echoes of our Past | January 20th 1923

Librarian Richard Forrest takes a look at news highlights published in The Echo 100 years ago this week.

Examiner Manager Shot

Denis McGrath, Manager of the Cork Examiner, was shot at and wounded when entering his house at the junction of Victoria Road and Blackrock Road at about 7 o’clock yesterday evening. Mr. McGrath left the Examiner Office at 6.30pm to take the Blackcock tram home. On opening the garden gate, he was immediately rushed from behind by four men who had apparently been lying in wait. They drew revolvers and fired three shots at close range before decamping. One of the bullets shattered the bone above his right elbow and another penetrated deep into the side of his back. A military officer who had been on board the tram gave chase, but the assailants made their escape along Victoria Avenue. On hearing the shots, Mr. McGrath’s daughter quickly came to his aid and, despite his injuries, he was able to walk into the house unaided and without commotion. Miss Crean, an experienced nurse, and daughter of the ex-M.P. Eugene Crean, hurried from an adjacent house to render assistance. Shortly afterwards Drs. Dundon and Shanahan were on the scene, as well as Frs. Moylan and McCafferey, Blackrock Road, and Fr. McSwiney, St. Finbarr’s South. Mr. McGrath was conveyed to the South Infirmary and operated upon. The operation was successful, and he is progressing well under the circumstances. A second operation will be performed today to remove the bullet from his back. The Rev. Dr. Thomas called to the Examiner Offices this morning to express his concern for Mr. McGrath before attending the Cork dockers meeting and departing for America this evening.

Cork Dockers Strike

The Rev. Dr. Thomas, honorary president of the Cork Workers Council, opened an important meeting today in relation to the dockers strike. Deliberations paused at noon in order for the strikers to have time to consider proposals. The nature of those proposals is not yet public but the atmosphere around the matters in dispute appears amicable and there are grounds for hope of a settlement. The dispute has brought great hardship and paralysed trade in the south of Ireland. The Clyde Company’s Eddystone left Penrose Quay in the early hours this morning to return to Glasgow with her cargo undischarged. 

Incendiary Attack on Capwell

Just before 10 o’clock last night a desperate attempt was made to destroy Capwell Station, the terminus of the Cork-Macroom Railway. Armed men broke into the station and sprinkled petrol all about the offices and goods stores. The entire premises would have been destroyed but the Fire Brigade was quickly on the scene and immediately proceeded to quell the flames. By 11 o’clock all was extinguished and comparatively little damage was done. A military guard remained at the station. 

Neutral I.R.A. at Youghal

Neutral members of the I.R.A. met at the Town Hall, Youghal last night to formally organise and passed the following resolution: “We express our approval of all steps being taken to bring the present deplorable state of affairs in the country to an end. We pledge our support to any agreed policy which will be directed towards the attainment of an honourable peace”.

Gramophones Stolen

Yesterday evening a number of gramophones and gramophone records stated to have been stolen from Piggott & Co., Limerick were discovered concealed in a stack of hay at Rossbrien by some youths. The matter was reported to the Civic Guard who are conducting inquiries.

Volunteer Smith Succumbs

Volunteer Christopher Smith (not O’Gorman), National Army, seriously wounded in a fight with Irregulars at Dromina, near Charleville on Wednesday, died in in St. John’s Hospital this evening. Deceased received a bullet through the left lung. He was a married man with three children and a native of Limerick.

Body Recovered

The body of John Shea, one of the four young men drowned on St. Stephen’s Day at Kilsheelan, has been taken from the river at Carrick-on-Suir.

Ordinary Man Seeks Less Work

A staggering, amazing thing has happened! A man – he may well have escaped from King Tut…, (whatever-ya-call-‘im’s) tomb over beyond at Luxor – has advertised in a newspaper thus, “An honest man seeks work”.  Paralysing phrase this. I was unable to finish reading the advert. The identity was not revealed but what multitudes would flock to see such a specimen! There is a story told about a well-known Cork street corner. One day a man drove up, stopped at it, and exclaimed in a loud voice “Work”. Only for the ambulance to fly back and forwards to bring half the men there to the nearest hospital. The other half managed to crawl home and said it wasn’t just a bomb that had exploded but a whole cargo of German mines. The mockery! the daring! of that phrase. At once an archaicism and an anachronism. Of course, the advert should read, “An ordinary man seeks work”, or “An honest man seeks less work”.   

Handball Championships at Cork

The Cork Handball Association is planning a tournament for the Murphy Cup next season. The tournament will be open to entries from all of Ireland and the winner will be proclaimed Handball Champion of Ireland. It will be played in the Ball Court, Old Market Place, Cork. It is probable that the successful competitor will have the opportunity to advance to meet J.J. Kelly, New York, the World Champion.  

Shandon vs. Clifton

An interesting association football tie is listed for decision to-morrow when Shandon meet Clifton in the first round of the senior challenge cup. Clifton’s cup record is better but Shandon’s current league performance is superior being just one point offf the leaders. A well contended match is anticipated. Mr. N. Wolffe to have charge of the whistle. Kick-off at Victoria Cross 3 p.m. sharp.

Washington tried to halt [the retreating men], to rally them. "Take the walls!" he cried. "Take the cornfield!" Some of them ran to the walls, some into the cornfield. With Putnam and several other officers he tried to form them behind the walls, but there was no controlling them. Washington's anger was spectacular. "He dashed his hat upon the ground in a transport of rage," crying out, "Are these the men with whom I am to defend America?" He snapped a pistol at them. With his riding cane, "he flogged not only private soldiers, but officers as well," a colonel, even a brigadier general. But nothing would do. At the sight of sixty or seventy Hessians coming at them they broke, flung away muskets, knapsacks, even coats and hats, and ran "as if the Devil was in them." "The ground was literally covered" with such discarded encumbrances. And they left Washington almost alone within eighty yards of the oncoming Hessians. Blinded with rage--or with despair--he sat his horse, taking no heed of his imminent danger. He would have been shot or captured had not an aide-de-camp seized his bridle and "absolutely hurried him away."

The War of the Revolution, Vol. 1, by Christopher Ward [pg 243]

Chernow mentioned aides (plural) in Washington: A Life when describing this scene, McCullough specified two aides pulled him away “with great difficulty” in 1776, and Lefkowitz used the same source as Ward did in Washington’s Indispensable Men, stating that there was just one aide. Regardless, none of the books or their sources, when followed back, specify which aide(s)-de-camp galloped out there to save Washington’s life at Kip’s Bay, but possible candidates for the role include any of the following who were on staff September 15, 1776:

Military Secretary: Robert Hanson Harrison  Assistant Secretaries: Stephen Moylan and Tench Tilghman Aides-de-camp: George Baylor, Samuel Blachley Webb, Richard Cary, and William Grayson

[mollafer]

Sorry it took me so long to get to this. I’ve been searching through two different books trying to find this story, and I finally found it. 

So, I think this is an interesting theory, but I have one of my own:

Basically, this whole situation was Colonel Stephen Moylan’s fault. This dude sent a letter to Washington that just talked about Tallmadge’s shortcomings, including the procuring of necessary supplies and equipment, as well as the treatment of his platoon’s horses. In my opinion, the colonel was probably just jealous of Washington’s and Tallmadge’s relationship, and wanted to throw Ben under the bus. 

In Tallmadge’s defense, he tried very hard to gather supplies and take care of the horses, but it was extremely difficult without the money he needed. Tallmadge was constantly concerned about money, and wrote Congress very often asking for more money for supplies. He actually ended up paying for more supplies, mounts, and even paying his soldiers’ salaries out of his own pocket.

So, I really think Tallmadge actually did drop the ball and didn’t take care of his horses, but he couldn’t take care of them since he didn’t have the money he needed. He was probably stressed out anyway about the lack of money, and of course other problems in the army, so I kinda don’t blame him for screwing up, but Washington probably wouldn’t have found out anyway if it wasn’t for Moylan, so I’m just gonna blame him lol. And to be fair, the harsh letter that Washington sent Tallmadge was also sent to Moylan, so he got in trouble too. 

Tallmadge attempted to defend himself. He wrote back to Washington saying they were lacking supplies and his soldiers weren’t paying attention to their duties. He didn’t want to take responsibility for the slip up, but eventually he must of realized it was his fault, because he offered his resignation to Washington, but of course Washington didn’t accept. Their relationship was rather tense at this point, and they didn’t talk for awhile, but I guess Washington let it go and forgave Tallmadge a few months later.

But yeah, I don’t think Tallmadge took the fall for anyone. He probably just felt like his soldiers weren’t doing their jobs and that they couldn’t take care of the horses without supplies, but he tried his best to defend himself to Washington. I think he knew it was really his own fault that his platoon was in such bad condition, but he was also probably pissed at Moylan for ratting him out.

Thank you so much for the theory though, @iwasthatlostcause! You could possibly be right too, but I guess we’ll never really know for sure.

Teams: Manly's axing after show-stopping game

The NRL's form player of the year, Tom Trbojevic, is set to make his return for the Sea Eagles after missing round 23 with a facial injury.Last week, Trbojevic was ruled out as a precaution amid conflicting reports the superstar fullback had damaged a pre-existing facial fracture.

Tom Trbojevic (Getty)While serious injury concerns were put to bed, the Sea Eagles took no chance, resting their talisman who is set to make an emphatic return against the Bulldogs this week.Meanwhile, star teammate Moses Suli has been dropped from Des Hasler's squad despite putting up a stellar man of the match performance last week. Suli has been dropped to reserves, replaced by Brad Parker who slots straight into the centres.

Moses Suli. (Getty)Elsewhere, it's tough luck for the Tigers who have the unfortunate task of taking on the Panthers without standout star Adam Doueihi who has been sidelined with a knee injury.To make matters harder for Michael Maguire's men, star winger Brian To'o has made an early return from injury and will line up on Sunday evening.Meanwhile, the Raiders have dumped halfback Sam Williams after back-to-back critical losses to the Storm and Manly.

Thanks to the heroic work of Catherine Corless, here are the names of the seven hundred and ninety-six children who died in a Tuam mother and baby home run by the Catholic Church in collusion with the government in Ireland, and whose bodies were thrown into a septic tank at the site pictured above. 

This was one mother and baby home. There is evidence to suggest that we can expect similar results from the many other Irish mother and baby homes (and this is without talking about Magdalene Laundries).

I’m not putting any of this under a Read More link. I’m just not.

The Battle of Bull’s Ferry and Major Andre’s Ballad

On 20 July 1780, George Washington ordered Anthony Wayne to take the 1st and 2nd Pennsylvania Brigades of the Continental Army, four artillery pieces, and Stephen Moylan's 4th Continental Light Dragoons to destroy a British blockhouse at Bulls Ferry in Bergen Township, opposite New York City. The stockaded position was held by 70 Loyalists - many of them black - commanded by Thomas Ward, providing a base for British woodcutting operations and protection against raids by American militia.

At that time, the British kept cattle and horses on Bergen Neck to the south, within easy reach of foragers from the British garrison at Paulus Hook. A second motive for Wayne's operation was to seize the livestock for the use of Washington's army. Wayne sent his cavalry under the leadership of Harry Lee to round up the cattle, while he took three regiments and the artillery to attack the blockhouse.

Early on 21 July, Wayne bombarded the blockhouse with his four cannons, but an hour later there were no discernible results. After being peppered with accurate fire from the blockhouse, the American soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Pennsylvania Regiments became impatient. Despite their officers' attempts to stop them, the soldiers dashed forward through the abatis to the base of the stockade. Once there, they found it impossible to break into the defensive works, and were forced to retreat.

Wayne reported losses of 15 enlisted men killed, plus three officers and 46 enlisted men wounded. Clinton estimated that Wayne had almost 2,000 troops available. He admitted the loss of 21 casualties and reported that 50 round shot penetrated the blockhouse. In a poetical note at the end of his ballad mocking the battled - The Cow Chace - British Major John  André suggested that five Loyalists were killed.

Five refugees ('tis true) were found, Stiff on the blockhouse floor; But then 'tis thought the shot went round, And in at the back door.

In one stanza, the British major poked fun at American claims that their cannonballs could not damage the blockhouse.

No shot could pass, if you will take The General's word for true; But 'tis a d(amna)ble mistake, For every shot went through.

Lee rounded up a substantial number of cattle and returned them to Washington's camp. Wayne burned the wood-cutters' boats and captured some of the boatmen. From André's fifth stanza, it is clear that Colonel Thomas Proctor commanded Wayne's artillery. Proctor was born in Ireland ("remoter Shannon").

And sons of distant Delaware, And still remoter Shannon, And Major Lee with horses rare, And Procter with his cannon.

André mocked Wayne's subordinate Brigadier General William Irvine, who fought at Bull's Ferry. The British major credited Irvine, misspelled "Irving", with command of the attack on the blockhouse while Wayne and Lee had the easy work of cattle rustling. William Irvine was viciously lampooned by André.

At Irving's nod 'twas fine to see, The left prepare to fight; The while, the drovers, Wayne and Lee, Drew off upon the right.

Two later stanzas made fun of the retreat of Irvine's column.

Irving and terror in the van, Came flying all abroad; And cannon, colors, horse, and man, Ran tumbling to the road.

Still as he fled, 'twas Irving's cry, And his example too, "Run on, my merry men – For why? The shot will not go through."

If I was GM this winter...

Today, I will take a look at how I think the Twins should go about things this winter if I was the team’s general managers. Here we go:

The first thing you need to do is activate guys off the 60-day disabled list. JT Chargois, Phil Hughes, Trevor May, Ryan O’Rourke, and Hector Santiago. That’s five 40-man spots that I would need to open up, so Santiago is a free agent, Glen Perkins’ option would be declined, Bartolo Colon is a free agent, Matt Belisle is a free agent and Dillon Gee is a free agent. Now the roster sits at 40.

Then you have to see who to protect for the Rule V draft in December. Stephen Gonsalves, Zack Littell, Jake Reed, and Kohl Stewart. That’s four guys, so I designate Buddy Boshers, Michael Tonkin, Nik Turley, and Niko Goodrum for assignment. This keeps the roster at 40 men. 

Then I would try to get free agents. The position players would be set because I would get Chris Gimenez back through arbitration. The catchers: Jason Castro, Chris Gimenez, and Mitch Garver. The infielders: 1B Joe Mauer, 2B Brian Dozier, SS Jorge Polanco, 3B Miguel Sano, 1B/DH Kennys Vargas, IF Eduardo Escobar, and IF Ehire Adrianza. The outfielders: LF Eddie Rosario, CF Byron Buxton, RF Max Kepler, OF Robbie Grossman, OF Zack Granite, OF Daniel Palka. That would be it for me as far as position players go. 

The pitching staff wasn’t strong last year, so I try to bring guys in on minor league contracts with invites to spring training. I give Dillon Gee, Bartolo Colon, Michael Tonkin, Jason Grilli, Brett Anderson and maybe a Peter Moylan a spring training invite. 

I would bolster the bullpen and sign Brandon Kintzler to a two-year $7 million deal to be the closer. Pat Neshek would get a one-year deal worth $7 million, but I would need to free up two roster spaces. I designate Dietrich Enns for assignment and trade Daniel Palka for a minor league or two. I want Matt Belisle back so I sign a one-year deal with him. Tyler Duffey is designated for assignment and that’s my winter as the GM. I know the number of pitchers are high, but that’s how I would see it playing out in the best case scenario. The Twins want to protect pitchers, but Phil Hughes, Aaron Slegers, and others could be trade candidates. 

Here’s how my 2018 Minnesota Twins Spring Training Roster looks like:

Pitchers: (25)                    Catchers: (3)

Matt Belisle RHP             Jason Castro L/R

Jose Berrios RHP           Chris Gimenez R/R

Alan Buesnitz RHP         Mitch Garver R/R

JT Chargois RHP            Infielders: (7)

John Curtiss RHP          1B Joe Mauer L/R

Kyle Gibson RHP           2B Brian Dozier R/R

Stephen Gonsalves LHP SS Jorge Polanco S/R

Trevor Hildenberger RHP 3B Miguel Sano R/R

Phil Hughes RHP           1B/DH Kennys Vargas S/R

Felix Jorge RHP               IF Eduardo Escobar S/R

Brandon Kintzler RHP      IF Ehire Adrianza S/R

Zack Littell RHP                Outfielders: (5)

Trevor May RHP              LF Eddie Rosario L/R

Adalberto Mejia LHP        CF Byron Buxton R/R

Gabriel Moya LHP            RF Max Kepler L/L

Pat Neshek RHP            OF/DH Robbie Grossman S/L

Ryan O’Rourke LHP         OF Zack Granite L/L

Ryan Pressly RHP

Jake Reed RHP

Taylor Rogers LHP

Fernando Romero RHP

Randy Rosario LHP

Ervin Santana RHP

Aaron Slegers RHP

Kohl Stewart RHP

Spring Training Invites: Bartolo Colon RHP, Dillon Gee RHP, Dietrich Enns LHP, Michael Tonkin RHP, Jason Grilli RHP, Brett Anderson LHP, and Peter Moylan RHP. Moylan will likely get a contract for a team next year.

They have their little vanities, The slender, girlish-supple trees; They love to watch their mirrored forms In pools, unruffled by the breeze. They watch their shadow tracery Sun-cast in silent woodland glades, And murmuring as they sleepy sway, They drift to dreams of lights and shades. For all of them are Dryad souls, That lay earth-bound a little time, Then upward rose: tall maiden trees, To woo the errant breeze with rhyme.
