  • NATIONAL HOMESTEAD at GETTYSBURG 1866-1877 (A Brief History)
    NATIONAL HOMESTEAD AT GETTYSBURG 1866-1877 (A Brief History) After the Civil War there was a great need and urgency to establish homes for the vast number of children who had lost fathers fighting for the Union during the war. Some of these little ones had no one to care for them, while others may have had mothers who for one reason or another were unable to properly provide for their wellbeing. With this in mind, a group known as the National Association of Philadelphia was founded and chose Gettysburg as the site for an orphanage to provide for the needs of these children. During April and May of 1866 a site was chosen and purchased, the property of Captain John Myers on Baltimore Street at Cemetery Hill consisted of two acres, a large brick house, a stable, well, garden and orchard (The property had been used during the 1863 battle as the headquarters of Major General Oliver O. Howard). To help care for the orphans and oversee the daily management of the establishment a strong dedicated matron would be needed. The choice of this woman was the result of one of the saddest yet heartwarming stories of the Battle of Gettysburg: After the battle, as the dead were being placed in temporary graves, a soldier was found with no identification except for a photo of three small children clutched firmly between his fingers. Before burial that photo was carefully removed and preserved. Word spread of the unfortunate man who had been thinking of his children at the moment of death.

  • A Past So Fraught with Sorrow Bert H
    A Past So Fraught With Sorrow Bert H. Barnett, Gettysburg NMP On May 23 and 24, 1865, the victorious Union armies gathered for one massive, final “Grand Review” in Washington, D.C. Among the multitude of patriotic streamers and buntings bedecking the parade route was one, much noticed, hanging from the Capitol. It proclaimed, perhaps with an unintended irony, “The only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious Union soldiers.” One sharp-eyed veteran, a participant in almost all the war’s eastern campaigns, observed, “I could not help wondering, whether, having made up their minds that they can never pay the debt, they will not think it useless to try” [emphasis in original].1 The sacrifices demanded of the nation to arrive at that point had been terrific—more than 622,000 men dead from various causes. To acknowledge these numbers simply as a block figure, however, is to miss an important portion of the story. Each single loss represented an individual tragedy of the highest order for thousands of families across the country, North and South. To have been one of the “merely wounded” was often to suffer a fate perhaps only debatably better than that of a deceased comrade. Many of these battle casualties were condemned to years of physical agony and mental duress. The side effects that plagued these men often also tore through their post-war lives and families as destructively as any physical projectile, altering relationships with loved ones and reducing the chances for a fuller integration into a post-war world.

  • 89.1963.1 Iron Brigade Commander Wayne County Marker Text Review Report 2/16/2015
    89.1963.1 Iron Brigade Commander Wayne County Marker Text Review Report 2/16/2015 Marker Text One-quarter mile south of this marker is the home of General Solomon A. Meredith, Iron Brigade Commander at Gettysburg. Born in North Carolina, Meredith was an Indiana political leader and post-war Surveyor-General of Montana Territory. Report The Bureau placed this marker under review because its file lacked both primary and secondary documentation. IHB researchers were able to locate primary sources to support the claims made by the marker. The following report expands upon the marker points and addresses various omissions, including specifics about Meredith’s political service before and after the war. Solomon Meredith was born in Guilford County, North Carolina on May 29, 1810.1 By 1830, his family had relocated to Center Township, Wayne County, Indiana.2 Meredith soon turned to farming and raising stock; in the 1850s, he purchased property near Cambridge City, which became known as Oakland Farm, where he grew crops and raised award-winning cattle.3 Meredith also embarked on a varied political career. He served as a member of the Wayne County Whig convention in 1839.4 During this period, Meredith became concerned with state internal improvements: in the early 1840s, he supported the development of the Whitewater Canal, which terminated in Cambridge City.5 Voters next chose Meredith as their representative to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1846 and they reelected him to that position in 1847 and 1848.6 From 1849-1853, Meredith served

  • Pennsylvania History
    PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY VOL. XXI APRIL, 1954 No. 2 THE FAILURE OF THE "HOLY EXPERIMENT" IN PENNSYLVANIA, 1684-1699 By EDWIN B. BRONNER* HE founding of colonial Pennsylvania was a great success. TLet there be no misunderstanding in regard to that matter. The facts speak for themselves. From the very beginning colonists came to the Delaware Valley in great numbers. Philadelphia grew rapidly and was eventually the largest town in the British colonies. The area under cultivation expanded steadily; Pennsylvania con- tinued to grow throughout the colonial period, and her pecuniary success has never been questioned. The Proprietor granted his freemen an enlightened form of government, and gradually accepted a series of proposals by the citizenry for liberalizing the constitution. As an outgrowth of the Quaker belief that all men are children of God, the colony granted religious toleration to virtually all who wished to settle, made a practice of treating the Indians in a fair and just manner, opposed (as a matter of conscience) resorting to war, experimented with enlightened principles in regard to crime and punishment, and fostered advanced ideas concerning the equality of the sexes and the enslavement of human beings. As a colonizing venture, the founding of Pennsylvania was a triumph for William Penn and those who joined with him in the undertaking. On the other hand, conditions which prevailed in Pennsylvania in the first decades caused Penn untold grief, and results fell far short of what he had envisaged when he wrote concerning the *Dr. Edwin B.

  • Godfrey Bisher
    Godfrey Bisher Born December 1, 1818, Atlantic Ocean Died September 7, 1897, Davidson County, North Carolina Godfrey was born on the voyage from Amsterdam to Charleston that brought his parents, Conrad and Margaretha, to America. He married Loucinda Loflin, who bore seven children, two of them twins (William and John). Private Godfrey Bischerer Company F, 7th Regiment, North Carolina State Troops Private Godfrey Bischerer was the oldest private in the most outstanding company of one of the most illustrious Confederate regiments in the Civil War. He participated in several of the greatest battles of the war including Manassas, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, and in the lesser known, but fierce battles of New Bern, Hanover Court House, Cedar Mountain, Ox Hill, and Shepherdstown. He followed the great generals Stonewall Jackson and A.P. Hill into combat, marched hundreds of miles through North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, crossed back and forth over the Potomac River probably half a dozen times, helped destroy a portion of the B&O Railroad, and, in one of the most dramatic episodes in American history, charged across the killing grounds at Gettysburg in the main wave of the assault that has been memorialized as "Pickett's Charge." He spent nearly a year in a prisoner-of-war camp known for brutality, where guards sometimes took target practice with the unsuspecting inmates. If not a hero, Godfrey Bischerer was certainly a tenacious survivor. Private Bischerer and The Civil War August 21, 1861 - Camp Mason, Alamance Co., NC - 7th Regt.
