Bonnets & Bullets: The Nancy Hart Militia
Get PDFA Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.For the entirety of the Civil War, a group of elite Southern women from LaGrange, Georgia, formed the only all-female militia ever to have existed in the United States. Known locally as the Nancy Hart Militia, these young women prepared to defend their town, showcasing their determination to protect the home-front and preserve their personal honor while men were away fighting. This thesis explores this little-known group of women, challenging the stereotypes of proper Southern belles and considers their motivations and experiences within the context of antebellum, wartime, and postbellum eras. Using historical records and personal accounts, this study traces the formation of the Nancy Hart Militia, examines their cultural expectations, and analyzes their legacy as they faded into local lore rather than gaining recognition in American history. Ultimately, this thesis argues that in subtly defying societal norms, the Nancies inadvertently created a new space for themselves to challenge gender roles and redefine and defend their honor in the face of danger.HistoryCollege of Liberal Art

Analyzing the disparity between those that show need for mental health services and those that utilize mental health services in Nueces County
No full textMentor is Dr. E GonzalesIn 2020, a comprehensive behavioral health community assessment showed that Nueces County had an odd disparity between residents who utilized community mental health resources and residents who had need for mental health resources. This project proposes a descriptive cross-sectional survey of the residents of Nueces County to gather information on the community’s understanding and utilization of behavioral health services. understanding and utilization of behavioral health services. In the short-term, we aim to identify if social determinants of health, such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, access to health insurance, and annual income, impact understanding and/or utilization of behavioral health services. In the long-term, the goal of the project is to obtain information that can be utilized by stakeholders engaged in behavioral health for improving access and utilization of services. The survey was offered in high-traffic areas including, but limited to, health fairs, churches, community events, and on-campus events at TAMUCC and Del Mar. The data showed that it was more a lack of information that caused the need/usage disparity. With that in mind, the best course of action to reducing the need/usage disparity is making the local services offered in Nueces County more well-known and better available

Loyalty in the time COVID-19: A review of the literature in tourism destination settings
No full textTourism destinations constitute a conglomerate of attractions, service providers, and retailers that make up the overall offerings and experiences that attract visitors. However, given the severe consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the tourism industry, it is crucial to appraise consumer loyalty towards destinations in the context of the coronavirus disruptions. An increasing number of academic works examining the factors that influence destination loyalty have been carried out since the pandemic breakout, but no evaluation of their cumulative results and findings has been offered in the literature. Therefore, this research conducts a review of studies that have empirically investigated the drivers of destination loyalty during the pandemic in diverse geographical settings. By analyzing 24 journal articles selected from the Web of Science (WoS) database, this work adds to the literature by providing an assessment of the state-of-the-art body of knowledge about the explanation and prediction of loyalty for tourism destinations in the context of COVID-19.This publication was supported by the TAMU-CC Open Access Publication Fund
A comparison of hydraulic patent tongs and oyster dredges for monitoring oyster reefs in the mission - Aransas estuary
No full textA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Marine BiologyThe Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) currently uses dredge sampling to monitor oyster reefs open to commercial harvest. However, dredges have been shown to produce biased sampling data with regard to the density and relative sizes of the oysters collected. In this project, we compared the sampling performance of oyster dredges in reference to hydraulic (patent) oyster tongs. The objectives of this project were to: (1) Compare the density (n m-2) and size (shell height, mm) of live oysters, articulated shells of dead oysters (boxes), and disarticulated oyster shells collected using dredges and tongs across varying reef structures (assessed with acoustic mapping procedures). (2) Compare dredge vs. tong-generated metrics and evaluate resulting thresholds for opening and closing oyster harvest areas. (3) Compare the logistics of dredge versus tong sampling methods for oyster monitoring (e.g., cost, gear maintenance and operation, impacts on staff-hours). Results indicate that dredges show a size bias toward larger shells and oysters, while tongs sample a smaller area and may not accurately represent density across the entire reef extent, particularly for reefs with patchy oyster distribution and where sample size is not adequate. Although deployment, retrieval, and processing for one tong sample takes less time than for one dredge sample, tong sampling requires one additional staff member and approximately 2-3x more samples to see stabilized estimates of density, compared to dredge sampling. Based on this study, tongs may be better suited for more focused (spatially or temporally) sampling initiatives where a greater number of samples and staff time are more realistic. This is the first tong and dredge comparison in Texas estuaries that focuses on monitoring commercially harvested oyster reefs and understanding the ability of tongs and dredges to provide management metrics across a range of reef types and oyster abundances.Marine BiologyCollege of Scienc
