For Country and Honor Through Blood and Anguish: The Life and Trials of the Soldiers of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment

War is not always glorious. Family, friends, and fellow soldiers are wounded and killed fighting for a cause and expect nothing in return except for respect, freedom and a peaceful life. The American Civil War divided a nation into two and had fathers, husbands, brothers and sons fight their fellow countrymen, and even their family divided by politics in order to attain the ultimate goal of victory. The soldier led three aspects of life: a military life (defined by drills and battles), a life outside of battle and drills, and their home life (which was maintained through the post). The Third Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment exhibited these aspects clearly through their letters and through their memoirs. Through their eyes, we can feel what it was like to fight in the bloodiest war in American history. Through their eyes, we will learn more about the everyday life of a soldier. Through their eyes, we will expand our knowledge of the Civil War in a manner different from many textbooks in school

Effect of excess Au on antiphase domain growth in Cu \u3c inf\u3e 3 Au

The kinetics of antiphase domain growth have been studied in three nonstoichiometric Cu3Au alloys containing nominally 26, 28, and 31.5 at. pct Au. During isothermal annealing of disordered samples below the critical temperatures, the domain growth in all of the alloys initially followed the same t 1/2 dependence found previously for stoichiometric Cu3Au. At long times, the two alloys furthest off stoichiometry reached limiting domain sizes which decreased with increasing Au content. Although the role of the excess Au in determining these limiting sizes is not clear, it is evident that most of the excess Au is accommodated within the domains. The antiphase domain size distributions in the alloys agree with those found for the stoichiometric alloy. © 1975 The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society - ASM International - The Materials Information Society
