General Philip Schuyler House Etc Historic Structure Report Vol 1 Of 2 2003

Excerpt from General Philip Schuyler House, Vol. 2 of 2: Historic Structure Report Mortar analysis was carried out in the mortar laboratory at the hap office in Lowell, ma. Each sample was pulverized using a mortar and pestle. Approximately 20 grams of pulverized sample were then weighed out, swirled in a solution of diluted hydrochloric acid, and separated into sands and fines components.2 The color of the liquid filtrate resulting from the separation process was noted for each sample, and the sand and fines components were dried. After drying, the sands and fines were weighed, and a calculation was made of the approximate weight of acid-soluble materials that had been present in the sample. The color of the sands and fines were noted, and the fines were color-matched using the Munsell Color Notation System for soil. Based on the results of the analysis, samples were grouped by shared characteristics and given relative dates. This information has been incorporated into the general text. It has also been summarized here, in the following section. The analytical summary is in turn is followed by a numerical list of the mortar samples removed, which includes each sample's location, and plans of the house denoting the sample locations.

American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

The book includes six chapters that cover Virginia history from initial settlement through the 20th century plus one that deals with the important role of underwater archaeology. Written by prominent archaeologists with research experience in their respective topic areas, the chapters consider important issues of Virginia history and consider how the discipline of historic archaeology has addressed them and needs to address them . Changes in research strategy over time are discussed , and recommendations are made concerning the need to recognize the diverse and often differing roles and impacts that characterized the different regions of Virginia over the course of its historic past. Significant issues in Virginia history needing greater study are identified.
