Of all the Engineer units in the United States Army during World War II there was one that stands out the most to historians and engineers alike. The 291st Engineer Combat Battalion was one of the most decorated engineer combat battalions of the United States Army during World War II. With notable success throughout the entirety of the war. However the most notable accomplishments of this unit connect it to two of the most critical battles of the war and has been said to contribute to the overall end and success of the war with those contributions during the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Remagen. During World War II the United States Army had multiple branches and units that were critical to the success of the overall war.…

The American Revolutionary War has been well documented by historians, especially the lives and feats of well-known patriots like George Washington and Paul Revere. However, an under researched topic is the study of the average soldiers who fought the battles and lived through the Revolution. This is an analytical biography of one of those soldiers, twenty eight- year old William Davis. William Davis enlisted in the Virginian militia “previous to the landing of British Gen. Thomas Gage at Boston.” He served for eighteen months in the Company of Capt.…
The Battle of the Argonne Forest took place north of the town Verdun and began when the United States Army, backed up by the French, launched an assault on the German Army. This assault was led by General John Pershing and General Henri Gouraud and was part of an attack called the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, a very complex operation. The main goal of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive was to get a hold of the railroad hub at Sedan to break the rail net supporting the Germans in France and Flanders and induce the enemy’s withdraw from said territories. On September 25, 1918, ten American divisions of 26,000 men, organized in three corps, were ready to begin.…

In and around the town of Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863 during the American Civil War, there was an important turning point for the war, which would later become one of the largest events in American history. This would be known as the Battle of Gettysburg, between the army of the Northern Virginia which was under the command of Confederate Gen. Robert E Lee, and the Union army of the Potomac which was under the command of Maj. Gen. George G Meade. This battle was important to the Unites States because whoever won the battle at Gettysburg would have gained the power to rule us. Even though it did not have a lot of soldiers involved, it did have a large number of casualties from any other battle resulting from the Civil War. The battle was fought…
The American Civil War is alternatively known as the bloodiest war in American history. During this war, over 620,000 individuals lost their lives to fight for ideas they believed would be best for the future of the country. Unfortunately, in addition to casualties of war, countless people died as a result of disease. Medicine was still not technologically advanced to the point where it could compete against such grand injuries. However, a copious amount of lives were saved due to the efforts of a multitude of doctors and nurses.…
One question that I have had for one of the longest times has to be, which civil war regiment won the battle of Gettysburg? Now this question has been in my mind mainly because I am sort of a history buff and have had an interest in things like this for a long time. My first move was to just pose the question online, in this case i asked the question on google. When i did a google search a lot of what came up was the 1st Minnesota line Infantry Regiment, no other regiments seem to show up when i searched it up on google. I was thinking that I would see the 20th Maine for what they did at Little round top…
They were limited to service units, where they would have to manual labor rather than actual combat duty (Williams OL). The manual labor included digging ditches, cleaning latrines, transporting supplies, clearing debris, and burying rotten corpses (William OL). They did, however, receive basic medical care and remedial education, which was unavailable to African-Americans in the South before (Williams OL). About 40,000 African-Americans in the 92nd and 93rd combat divisions did see actual battles in France (Williams OL). The African-Americans fought with all their might, and the 93rd Division’s 369th Infantry was nicknamed the “Harlem Hellfighters” for their fierce fighting in Germany (Williams OL).…

Soldiers at Valley Forge endured harsh conditions in order for the new nation to gain independence from the British. Soldiers had to decide whether or not to run away before their term of enlistment was complete or stay and fight the British. Despite the extreme difficulties of inadequate shelter, clothing, and food, soldiers in Washington's army had a duty to stay at Valley Forge. Washington overcame the difficulties by bringing a congressional committee to help supply the soldiers, by fostering a positive atmosphere at camp, and by making soldiers aware of how they were needed, after so many others had become sick or had died. First, soldiers at Valley Forge should have stayed because Washington brought the Congressional Committee…
I completed my infant observation at the University Child Development Center. The University Child Development Center specializes in childcare for infants all the way up to children age 12. The infant I observed was about eight months of age and was placed in a classroom that usually has a relatively small number of infants for better one on one attention. As I completed my observation, I observed all five developmental domains which include physical, emotional and social, cognitive, adaptive, and language and communication.…
