In 1917 the United States Congress and the Department of the Army established the former Fort Devens in a predominantly rural section of the Worcester and Middlesex counties in Massachusetts.

Since its establishment, the former Fort Devens has undergone various transformations to serve the needs of the Army. Camp Devens, Massachusetts, was named in honor of Brigadier General Charles Devens, served as a training camp for 76th Division (National Army), which occupied the cantonment, August 1917 to July 1918. A reception center for selectees following the end of World War I, the camp was designated a demobilization center. Camp Devens processed more than 100,000 selectees into the Army, and as a demobilization center, processed more than 150,000 men out of the Army.

History of the War, Weapons and Tactics, The Warring Nations, Biographies, Sources, Miscellanea, and Glossary. Chronology. Philip J. Haythornthwaite FRHistS (born 1951) is an internationally respected and prolific author and historical consultant specializing in the military history, uniforms and equipment. Whilst his main area of research is the Napoleonic Wars, his impressive list of publications covers a much wider range of periods from the English Civil War until WWI. Since 1973 Haythornthwaite has had over 80 books published, plus numerous articles and papers on military history. Much of this output through the publishers Orion Books and Osprey Publishing and Haythornthwaite’s writing has, beyond doubt, helped keep alive a general interest in history. Moreover, his seminal works The Armies of Wellington and Redcoats, The British Soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars as well as Picton’s Division at Waterloo are clearly scholarly works of research that show the author to be the equal of more formally credentialed historians. Also notable is the fact that Haythornthwaite has prepared new editions of several well-known Peninsular War memoirs : Life in Napoleon’s Army: the Memoirs of Captain Elzear Blaze In the Peninsula with a French Hussar: Memoirs of the War of the French in Spain. Haythornthwaite is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Member of the British Commission for Military History. More

The name is a reference to The Criterion, a British literary magazine edited by T. S. Eliot from 1922 to 1939. The magazine describes itself as a "monthly review of the arts and intellectual life ... in the forefront both of championing what is best and most humanely vital in our cultural inheritance and in exposing what is mendacious, corrosive, and spurious." It evinces an artistic classicism and political conservatism that are rare among other publications of its type. Since 1999, The New Criterion has been running the New Criterion Poetry Prize, a poetry contest with a cash prize. In 2004, According to the The New York Sun, for a quarter of a century The New Criterion "has helped its readers distinguish achievement from failure in painting, music, dance, literature, theater, and other arts. The magazine, whose circulation is 6,500, has taken a leading role in the culture wars, publishing articles whose titles are an intellectual call to arms." The magazine set out "to speak plainly and vigorously about the problems that beset the life of the artists and the life of the mind in our society" while resisting "a more general cultural drift" More

Frontis illustration. illus. maps (one fold-out) Index. Benteen's Battle Map at end. Preface by Colonel W. A. Graham. This is commonly known as the Reno report. A Court of Inquiry, unlike of Court Martial, which tries only criminal charges formally preferred, is a purely investigator body whose one and only function is to inquire into and report upon aspersions or other derogatory matter respecting a person in the military service, with a view to establishing facts; and if so directed, it recommends the action, if any, that should be taken in the premises. The Curt of Inquiry authorized by the President on the 25th day of November 1878 , convened at Chicago, Illinois, 13 January 1879, and adjourned 11 February 1879, after an extended hearing, with daily sessions excluding Sundays only. The testimony of 23 witnesses was taken, all of whom were subjected to cross examination under oath, and eleven documentary exhibits ere received in evidence. The inquiry quickly developed into a broad investigation of the manner in which the battle was fought, and competent historian and students consider the record of its proceedings to be the chief and most important repository of authentic detailed information on the subject. The original official record, some 1300 pages in length, was held in the confidential files of the Judge Advocate General's Office until 1941, when it went to the National Archives. In 1951 a verbatim edition of the official record, limited to 125 copies, complete and unexpurgated was published by Graham. This volume is an abstract. More

Without the splendid co-operation of the relatives of the boys who made the supreme sacrifices, the completion of this work would not have been possible. More
