Battle of the Palm Grove happened on 2010-09-10.
The Battle of Oak Grove took place on June 25, 1862, during the American Civil War. It was part of the Peninsula Campaign, a series of battles in Virginia between Union and Confederate forces.
The Battle of Prairie Grove took place in Arkansas. The Union wanted to control as much of this Confederate State as possible. Confederate commander Hindman was forced to take a defensive position as more Union troops were on the way. On December 7, 1862, Union artillery barrages drove many Confederates from the ridge near Prairie Grove. Union troops under Herron attacked the confederate ridge position but the Confederates counter attacked from three sides. Union reinforcements arrived and during the night the Confederates left the ridge. Northern Arkansas became under the control of the Union the rest of the war.
The march, published in 1923, was titled " March of the Mitten March" before it was retitled "Power and Glory". The "Mitten" referred to is Mr. Thomas Mitten, CEO of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, which transported thousands of people to and from Willow Grove Park in suburban Philly during the years when the Sousa Band was doing lengthy summer engagements there from 1901-1926, 1911 excepted (they were on a world tour then). The title was changed to "Power and Glory' as the result of the publisher of the second edition, who thought the new title would sell better--apparently he was right. It has been suggested that the name was changed because of a falling out between Mitten and Sousa, but the dedication to Mitten remained even after the march was renamed, and the Sousa Band continued to play at Willow Grove after the edition called "Power and Glory" came out.
General Leslie Groves was a US Army officer assigned to the Corps of Engineers. He is best remembered for running the Manhattan Project, which took nuclear physics from abstract theory through to the development of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Just before being given command of what evolved into the Manhattan Project, General Groves had overseen the building of the Pentagon in Washington DC. This was the world's largest office building and under Grove's driving leadership the entire project was finished in one year.
