Patrick A. Bowmaster was a graduate student in history student at Virginia Tech in 1994/1995.
Jasper Hawse (1835-1905) was an American Civil War soldier born in Hardy County, (West) Virginia. At the beginning of the war, Hawse enlisted in the 14th Regiment, Virginia Militia, which became the 7th Virginia Cavalry Regiment in March 1862. In June 1862, the cavalry regiment was reorganized as the 17th Virginia Cavalry Battalion. Hawse also served intermittently as a commissary sergeant in the Confederate Quartermaster's Department.
This collection consists of three papers completed by Patrick A. Bowmaster while a graduate student in history at Virginia Tech: "A Confederate Cavalryman at War: the Diary of Sergeant Jasper Hawse of the 14th Regiment Virginia Militia, the 17th Virginia Cavalry Battalion, and the 11th Virginia Cavalry;" "Occupation - 'Soldier:' the Life of 1st Sgt. Emanuel Stance of the 9th U. S. Cavalry 'Buffalo Soldiers,' the First African-American to Win the Congressional Medal of Honor for Action in the Post-Civil War Period;" "A Listing of Those Civil War-Related Articles Appearing in Volumes I Through XX of the Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine Which Were Not Reprinted in the Four Volume Battles and Leaders of the Civil War Book Set." Also included is Bowmaster's research correspondence relating to the Hawse diary and his proposal for the project.
The collection is arranged by subject.
