SUMMARY:Jan 21 - Algiers Historical Society - Algiers During the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Lt. Col. Mike LARKIN\, USAF Retired \nAlgiers played a critical role during the American Civil War that is largely forgotten. This talk will center on the camps\, people and significant events that took place or emanated from Algiers during the Civil War.  These events include the “Fox Incident” when a Confederate blockade runner was intercepted by Union troops stationed in Algiers because the Rebels had forgotten to take down the telegraph lines to the Union troop’s headquarters. \nThere is also the investment of the intact Opelousas Rail Road by the Federals\, giving them access to an open railway line and all its rolling stock.  Just after taking over the city\, Union Commander Gen. BUTLER sent one of his Colonels and a company of Indiana troops on a train ride through Confederate-held territory\, all the way from Algiers to BRASHEAR City\, later named Morgan City\, and back again without being challenged by even one Rebel soldier. \nLARKIN will also discuss the Belleville Foundry\, its importance to the Union efforts to subdue Southeast Louisiana; its use as a Camp of Distribution; and more importantly\, its significance as a source of ammunition for young Algiers Point boys armed with slingshots\, in the 1930s. \nLt. Col. Mike LARKIN\, USAF Retired\, was born in the Irish Channel\, but raised in Metairie. He attended RUMMEL High School; earned a BA in History from UNO; and a Masters in Management from Troy State\, in Alabama. \nHe joined the Navy during the final months of the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged from the Navy and graduating from college\, LARKIN worked in the offshore oil business as a completions engineer\, conducting surveys and setting off explosives in oil wells. \nHe rejoined the military\, this time in the U. S. Air Force (USAF)\, where he became a full time reservist working on the armament systems of the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jet. He received his Commission in 1990 as a munitions officer\, just in time to be deployed to Saudi Arabia\, for Operation Desert Storm. \nLARKIN then transferred to USAF Security Forces and became commander of a number of Security Forces Squadrons\, where he made deployments to Korea\, Germany\, Egypt\, Qatar and Britain. \nIn 2004\, he deployed to Iraq and was the Defense Force Commander at the American Airbase at Kirkuk. He retired from the USAF\, in 2005\, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. \nAfter LARKIN’s notable military career he went to work for FEMA following Hurricane Katrina where he acted as Emergency Management and Safety Officer for all FEMA operations in Louisiana. Then he taught Emergency Management to police\, fire and EMTs at Tulane University for nine semesters. \nAfterwards\, he began writing about New Orleans and the American Civil War\, which he hopes to get into print\, late this summer. \nMarried to Paula\, his wife of more than 54 years\, they reside with their two rescue dogs\, in Old Metairie. \nLocation: Algiers Regional Library\, 3014 Holiday Dr. in Algiers. Large\, first floor meeting room. Library phone: 504-596-2641. \nAHS meetings at the library are free and open to the public and media.

SUMMARY:Sat\, Nov 16 - Algiers Historical Society - History of Algiers Fire Companies
DESCRIPTION:Pelican\, Brooklyn\, Washington\, & Morgan: The History of the Algiers Fire Companies\n\nPresenter: Nikki CARUSO\n\nPrior to its annexation by the City of New Orleans in 1870\, Algiers was an independent town with its own fire department dating back to 1851. The original Algiers Fire Department companies were Pelican No. 1\, Brooklyn No. 2\, Morgan No. 3\, and Washington Hook & Ladder No. 1. Like the companies in New Orleans\, they formed their own Firemen’s Charitable Association\, held parades\, and reflected the communities in which they served. This talk will cover the histories of those companies\, their role in battling the Great Algiers Fire of 1895\, the evolution of their fire stations\, and what the companies of the 8th Fire District look like today.\n\nAs the daughter of a retired New Orleans Fire Department Captain\, Nikki CARUSO grew up hearing stories about the fire department and visiting fire houses around the city. In 2020 – inspired by her dad’s hunt for the location of the original Engine 1 – she began to research the histories of 19th and 20th century fire stations throughout New Orleans. To share her discoveries\, Nikki created the Instagram account “Crescent City Stations.” She’s presented on Fire Department History at the Deutsches Haus; for Learning Before Lunch at UNO; Gretna’s German-American Cultural Center; and in conjunction with the City Archives\, at the New Orleans Public Library.\n\nNikki has a BA in Theatre from Appalachian State University\, a Master of Arts in American Dance Studies from Florida State University\, and is currently working on her Masters of Library Information Science at LSU. While at Florida State\, she studied parading traditions in New Orleans and worked as a research assistant for the book “New Orleans Carnival Balls: The Secret Side of Mardi Gras.”\n\nLocation: Algiers Regional Library\, 3014 Holiday Dr.\, in Algiers. Library phone: 504-596-2641. First floor\, large meeting room.\n\n\nAHS meetings\, at the library\, are free and open to the public and media. Also\, they are not affiliated with or endorsed by the New Orleans Public Library.
