Roswell Lamson Roswell Hawkes Lamson ( 30 March 1838 – 14 August 1903 ) was an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War . Biography . Born in Burlington , Iowa , Lamson accompanied his natal family as Oregon Trail pioneers of 1847 . He was appointed to the United States Naval Academy on 20 September 1858 , with the rank of acting - midshipman , the first Oregonian to receive an appointment . After graduating in 1862 , completing his training on active duty , he saw action in the Civil War . Promoted to lieutenant on August 1 , 1862 , he commanded the gunboat in joint Army - Navy operations on the Nansemond River , and played an important role in the capture of batteries at Hill ' s Point in April 1863 . On 2 May 1864 , at the New York Navy Yard , Lamson commissioned the gunboat , a former blockade runner captured off Wilmington , North Carolina , in November 1863 . He spent the next seven months commanding " Gettysburg " while stationed off the Cape Fear River , as part of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron , capturing several ships . Lamson was in the forefront of the attacks on Fort Fisher , which stood at the entrance of the Cape Fear River protecting the approach to Wilmington . In December 1864 , an attempt was made to reduce the fort by means of a " powder boat " – in effect a floating bomb . The plan , concocted by General Benjamin F . Butler , called for the steamer to be loaded with 215 tons of gunpowder and sailed under the walls of the fort and detonated , destroying the fortifications and stunning the garrison into submission . On the night of December 23 / 24 , the " Louisiana " , under Commander Alexander Rhind , was towed by , commanded by Lamson , to within 300 yards of the fort . Rhind set the fuzes and he and his crew abandoned ship , and were picked up by " Wilderness " , which promptly sailed for safety . After 80 minutes the ship finally exploded . Unfortunately the tide and an offshore breeze had moved the " Louisiana " further away from the fort , and the explosion had no effect . During the second attack , on January 15 , 1865 , after a preliminary naval bombardment , Lamson led a landing party of sailors and marines from " Gettysburg " , as part of a naval force assaulting the sea face of Fort Fisher , while the army attacked the landward face . Lamson and his men were pinned down under the ramparts of the fort by enemy fire , spending the night in a ditch . However , the attack by the navy diverted enough of the defenders to make the army assault successful , and the fort was taken . Lamson ' s friend and fellow officer Samuel W . Preston was killed in the assault . Lamson resigned from the Navy on July 6 , 1866 , and returned to Oregon , where he was appointed to be clerk of U . S . Customs . On January 9 , 1895 , he was reappointed lieutenant and placed on the retired list on April 15 , 1895 . Lamson died in Portland , Oregon , on 14 August 1903 , and is buried at the River View Cemetery there . Namesakes . Three U . S . Navy destroyers have been named in his honor .

The regiment would see action at the Battle of Monmouth and the Battle of Rhode Island . The regiment was disbanded on January 1 , 1781 at New Windsor , New York . Origins . In the years before the American Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775 , the Province of Massachusetts Bay had a volunteer militia corps known as the Governor ' s Company of Cadets . Based in Boston , the company was disbanded in 1774 after its commander , John Hancock , was dismissed by Governor Thomas Gage . A number of its members left the city when the Siege of Boston began , and reformed themselves as an independent company under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Jackson after the British evacuated the city in March 1776 . The company petitioned the Continental Congress to be included in the Continental Army , and on January 12 , 1777 , Jackson was given a colonel ' s commission and authorization to raise an " Additional Continental regiment " . Recruitment was conducted primarily in the Boston , but the regiment eventually had members from as far off as Connecticut . The unit ' s surgeon from 1779 onward was Dr . James Thacher , who kept an extensive journal of his war experience . Service history . The regiment left Boston in October 1777 to join General George Washington ' s Main Army outside Philadelphia . In 1778 it was with that army as it followed the British across New Jersey , and served with distinction in the June 28 , 1778 Battle of Monmouth . The regiment was then sent to Providence , Rhode Island , where it played a major role in the August 29 , 1778 Battle of Rhode Island . It remained in Rhode Island in 1779 , but was despatched to Boston as part of a mobilization made in response to the British seizure of Castine , Maine . The regiment was not part of the disastrous Penobscot Expedition that Massachusetts mounted to drive the British out , but it had been boarded onto transports and was en route to the area when the expedition dissolved following the arrival of British reinforcements . It was disembarked at Kittery , where it assisted in bringing in the remnants of the expedition that arrived there overland . Following the British withdrawal from Newport in October 1779 , the regiment was sent to New Jersey , where it spent a difficult winter . It was involved in a failed attack on Staten Island in January that was aborted when surprise was lost . The regiment then fought in the June 23 , 1780 Battle of Springfield . On July 24 , 1780 the regiment was adopted into the Massachusetts Line and renamed the 16th Massachusetts Regiment .

The War Against the Jews The War Against the Jews is a book written by Lucy Dawidowicz and published in 1975 . The book researches the Holocaust of the European Jewry during World War II . The author contends that Hitler pursued his policies to eliminate Jewish populations throughout Europe even to the detriment of pragmatic wartime actions such as moving troops and securing supply lines . As an example , Dawidowicz notes that Hitler delayed railcars providing supplies to front line troops in the Soviet Union so that Jews could be deported by rail from the USSR to death camp s . She uses records of " one - way " rail tickets as additional documentation of those sent to camps . Dawidowicz also draws a line of " anti - Semitic descent " from Martin Luther to Hitler , writing that both men were obsessed by the " demonologized universe " inhabited by Jews . She contents that similarities between Luther ' s anti - Jewish writings , especially " On the Jews and Their Lies " , and modern anti - Semitism are no coincidence , because they derived from a common history of " Judenhass " ( Jew - hatred ) , which she traces back to the biblical Haman ' s advice to Ahasuerus . She argues that though modern anti - Semitism has its roots in German nationalism , the foundation of Christian anti - Semitism was laid by the Catholic Church and " upon which Luther built . " The book also provides detailed listings by country of the number of Jews killed in World War II . Dawidowicz researched birth and death records in many cities of prewar Europe to come up with a death toll of 5 , 933 , 900 Jews . Some historians consider this number an underestimate since many records were lost during the war , many births and deaths were not recorded in small towns and villages , and many births occurred in countries between their last prewar censuses and the start of the war . Criticism by Raul Hilberg . Raul Hilberg , widely considered to be one of the world ' s preeminent Holocaust scholars , published his three - volume , 1 , 273 - page " magnum opus " , " The Destruction of the European Jews " , in 1961 ; this work is regarded today as a seminal study of the Nazi Final Solution . Hilberg notes that Dawidowicz not only ignored " The Destruction " ' s findings in " The War Against the Jews " , but also went on to exclude mention of him in her historiographic work , " The Holocaust and the Historians " , published in 1981 . Hilberg ' s work , running as it did against the grain of intentionalist thinking , was widely unpopular among many early scholars , a contrast to later views . It is argued that Davidowicz , a renowned " intentionalist " , simply ignored Hilberg ' s work in order to follow an academically safer path , avoiding controversy by avoiding " functionalist " conclusions like those drawn by Hilberg . " She wanted preeminence , " Hilberg writes . Her listings are as follows :

Great Sleigh Drive " The Great Sleigh Drive " ( ) was a daring and bold maneuver by Frederick William , the Great Elector of Brandenburg - Prussia , to drive Swedish forces out of the Duchy of Prussia , a territory of his which had been invaded by the Swedes during the winter of 1678 . Background . Frederick William had previously defeated the Swedes and driven them from Brandenburg at the Battle of Fehrbellin and now faced another punitive Swedish incursion into his territories . The main body of his army was engaged at the siege of the Swedish - held port city of Stralsund on the coast of the Baltic Sea far to the west , so Frederick marched his army to the small town of Preußisch Holland and engaged a small Swedish force occupying the city . The Swedes , having been soundly defeated at the Battle of Fehrbellin , were hesitant to face Frederick William again and decided to retreat to the coast in order to return to Sweden , having already accomplished their goal of looting much of the province and avenging their earlier defeat . The Sleigh Drive . Most commanders would have simply allowed the Swedes to depart , but Frederick William was particularly aggressive and came across the ingenious idea of commandeering thousands of sleighs from the local peasantry to transport his army across the snowy terrain of the Duchy of Prussia to cut - off the Swedes ' escape route : creating , in effect , some sort of precursor to motorised infantry . Driving over the heavy snow and several frozen lakes , Frederick managed to drive deep into the flanks and rear of the escaping Swedish force , denying them access to the coast and their navy , which would have allowed them to resupply or escape . Aftermath . Frederick ' s forces managed to ride all the way to Memel , completely cutting off the Swedes from the coast . Although the Brandenburg forces never actually managed to force the Swedes to commit to the field in an open battle as Frederick had wanted , many Swedish troops perished in the harsh winter from hypothermia and starvation , and the Swedish army was effectively destroyed . This victory cemented Frederick William ' s reputation as a great military strategist . Significance . Maneuver warfare , or as the Germans call it , " Bewegungskrieg " , was eventually part of a long - standing tradition of the German military . The Winter Campaign of 1678 and the subsequent Great Sleigh Drive appeared in the German military war journal " Militär - Wochenblatt " in 1929 , in which a then ( relatively unknown ) Major by the name of Heinz Guderian wrote an article commenting about its use of operational mobility as a decisive factor in victory .
