Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865, the New York Times reported a most surprising piece of news. On May 12-13, the last battle of the Civil War had been fought at the southernmost tip of Texas?resulting in a Confederate victory. Although Palmetto Ranch did nothing to change the war's outcome, it added the final irony to a conflict replete with ironies, unexpected successes, and lost opportunities. For these reasons, it has become both one of the most forgotten and most mythologized battles of the Civil War. In this book, Jeffrey Hunt draws on previously unstudied letters and court martial records to offer a full and accurate account of the battle of Palmetto Ranch. As he recreates the events of the fighting that pitted the United States' 62nd Colored Troops and the 34th Indiana Veteran Volunteer Infantry against Texas cavalry and artillery battalions commanded by Colonel John S. "Rip" Ford, Hunt lays to rest many misconceptions about the battle. In particular, he reveals that the Texans were fully aware of events in the East?and still willing to fight for Southern independence. He also demonstrates that, far from fleeing the battle in a panic as some have asserted, the African American troops played a vital role in preventing the Union defeat from becoming a rout. 410 0$aClifton and Shirley Caldwell Texas heritage series ;$vno. 4. 606 $aPalmito Ranch, Battle of, Tex., 1865 615 0$aPalmito Ranch, Battle of, Tex., 1865. 676 $a973.7/38 700 $aHunt$b Jeffrey Wm$g(Jeffrey William),$f1962-$01703035 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910952284703321 996 $aThe last battle of the Civil War$94359819 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03444nam 22006014a 450 001 9910962694603321 005 20251116165211.0 010 $a1-4106-1259-7 035 $a(CKB)1000000000244594 035 $a(EBL)227543 035 $a(OCoLC)74901950 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000136092 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11136081 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000136092 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10082242 035 $a(PQKB)10326351 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC227543 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL227543 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10103805 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL761387 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000244594 100 $a20040602d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aDefending standardized testing /$fedited by Richard P.

Some standards advocates attach a testing mechanism to gauge the extent to which high standards are actually accomplished, whereas some critics accuse the push for standards and testing of impeding reform and perpetuating inequality. At the same time, the testing profession has produced advances in the format, accuracy, dependability, and utility of tests. Never before has obtaining such an abundance of accurate and useful information about student learning been possible.
