Item An Average Regiment: A Re-Examination of the 19th Indiana Volunteer Infantry of the Iron Brigade(2016) Crocker, Jared Anthony; Saak, Eric; Morgan, Anita J.; Towne, StephenThe 19th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment is one of the most famous regiments of the Civil War through its membership in the Iron Brigade of the Union Army of the Potomac. This brigade has been hailed as an elite unit of the Civil War. This thesis is a regimental history which critically examines the socio-economic profile of the 19th Indiana and the combat record of the Iron Brigade. This thesis finds that the 19th Indiana is largely reflective of the rest of the Union Army in terms of its socio-economic profile. Also, the combat record of the brigade was not overly successful and not necessarily deserving of being singled out from among the hundreds of other brigades in the Civil War.Item Civil War: Governor Morton Telegraph Books and Slips Lesson Plans(Center for Digital Scholarship, IUPUI University Library., 2019) West, LeAnn; Pollock, CMJThis lesson plan utilizes and complements the Civil War: Governor Morton Telegraph Books and Slips Digital Collection to develop information and digital literacies to History/Social Studies 11th grade students in Indiana.Item Conflicted Duty on the Indiana Home Front: A Family’s Civil War Story(2020-01) Tanzer, Anastasia; Morgan, Anita; Cramer, Kevin; Robertson, Nancy MarieThis project looks at the Ketcham family of Indianapolis and analyzes how each member had a different sense of duty that led them to take on different activities during the Civil War. It includes both a typical thesis portion and a public history supplement that takes the form of an exhibit brief. The supplement provides an alternate means of presenting the family to the public. The Ketchams were a white, upper-class family, so although many of their ideas and activities aligned with those of others across the northern United States, in this thesis I argue that they also had a unique experience. For example, the matriarch, Jane Merrill Ketcham, chose to serve as a nurse, as did many other women, but her decision took precedence over her husband’s preference. This assertion was noteworthy because, during this time period, women were still typically expected to defer to their fathers or husbands. This conclusion, and others throughout the project, are based on an analysis of both primary and secondary sources. The main primary sources used were the letters included in the Ketcham collection at the Indiana Historical Society, which provided insight to the thoughts, opinions, and activities of most family members – some members had fewer surviving letters than others. Scholarship regarding the Civil War from national, regional, and local perspectives allowed for a fuller picture of what the prevailing views and activities were and understand how the Ketchams were either emblematic of the common experience or different from it.Item Killing the Serpent Speedily: Governor Morton, General Hascall, and the Suppression of the Democratic Press in Indiana, 1863(Civil War History, 2006-03) Towne, Stephen E., 1961-Item Lesser Glory: The Civil War Military Career of Charles Remond Douglass(Institute for American Thought, 2021-12) McKivigan, John R.; History, School of Liberal ArtsItem Research Note: A Newly Uncovered Letter by Albion W.
