Letter by Andrew C[aughey] to D.B. McCreary, November 25-26, 1863
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The USS Michigan was an iron-hulled warship that was launched in 1843 in Lake Erie. During the Civil War the Michigan was used by Union officials to patrol the Great Lakes and address any civil unrest in port cities. A Confederate naval lieutenant planned to purchase a small steamer in Canada and travel to Erie, PA, accompanied by Confederate soldiers, and take control of the Michigan. However, Confederate President Jefferson Davis refused to support the plan and it was abandoned. During the American Civil War, Johnson’s Island in Lake Erie, near Sandusky, Ohio, was used by Union officials as a prisoner of war camp for Confederate officers. The camp opened in 1862 and imprisoned over 9000 men during the course of the war. At times the prisoner population far exceeded the prison’s capacity. Very few escaped from Johnson’s Island, although around 200 men are buried in the prison’s cemetery. Andrew H. Caughey (1827-1916) was born in Pennsylvania. He was a Presbyterian minister, teacher, lawyer, and newspaper editor. Caughey wrote The Occassional Writings of Isaac Moorhead; with a sketch of his life. David B. McCreary (1826-1906) was born in Pennsylvania. He worked as a teacher and lawyer before enlisting in 1861. The following year he received a commission as a captain in the 145th Pennsylvania Infantry and received a series of promotions, achieving the rank of brevet brigadier general in 1865. After the war he returned to Erie and served in the state legislature in 1866, 1867, and 1870. He served as state senator from 1889 to 1896.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
