AN INVENTORY OF THE JOHN WHITE JOHNSON MATERIAL IN THE LIBRARY OF THE ROCHESTER MUSEUM AND SCIENCE CENTER

Prepared by Gregory D. Carter, Great Nephew of John White Johnston Intern From S.U.N.Y. Brockport History Department 1993

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The John White Johnston collection has a variety of material including letters, authenticated documents, photographs, graphics, articles, clippings and Mr. Johnston's research notes. The letters include much correspondence between Mr. Johnston and his agents as well as primary and secondary sources who verified facts that he researched. Notarized documents pertained to the authenticity of memorabilia and first hand accounts. The John White Johnston collection also includes various materials such as maps that he drew of Andersonville, lantern slides of different Gettysburg topics and Civil War portraits and prints. These are integrated into the print collection. It is apparent that the museum did not receive all of the lantern slides from his collection. He also owned many Civil War books that were donated to the museum; they are integrated into the library collection. The strength of the collection is its many first hand accounts of a few of the topics contained in the collection. Mr. Johnston employed two agents who aided him in his research. In Gettysburg, professor J. L. Sowers helped Mr. Johnston by collecting information and memorabilia regarding all

2 of the research. He usually signed his letters J.L.S. Ruth C. Gibson from Wichita, Kansas was Mr. Johnston's agent regarding Custer's Last Stand research. The museum acquired the John White Johnston Collection from his daughter, Mary Grant Johnston, a short time before his death. She arranged to have it sent to the museum when Mr. Johnston's office on East Avenue had to be vacated to make way for the Inner Loop that is there today. Inclusive dates: l9l3 - ca. l929 The collection apparently does not reflect John W. Johnston's arrangement. The original order most likely was lost by the time these materials were accessioned by the museum or there was no purposeful order in the first place. Part of the collection was organized by two volunteers before Gregory Carter began work on organizing it. He continued to group the material by subjects.

General Subjects: I. Civil War Themes A. Gettysburg: l) Six lectures of Gettysburg Themes 2) "Jennie Wade" - a civilian woman killed at the .

3 3) John Burns - an elderly civilian who fought the Confederates at the Battle of Gettysburg. 4) Lincoln/Burns event - President and John Burns attended a service together at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church in l863. 5) Lincoln's itinerary at Gettysburg including the events of the Gettysburg Address. B. Andersonville Prison - Mr. Johnston placed special emphasis on the "Providence Spring" event, when a spring of fresh water erupted during a rain storm after several soldiers prayed for badly needed fresh drinking water. II. Custer's Last Stand III. The Flag A. Barbara Fritchie B. Betsy Ross C. Other stories regarding the history of the Flag. Information that Mr. Johnston collected about these subjects resulted in lantern slide lectures and two publications, which are: l) Johnston, John White. Presentation and Unveiling of The Memorial Tablets Commemorating the Lincoln and Burns Event (November l9, l863). Rochester, NY, John White Johnston, l9l6. (This booklet went through at least three editions. The third edition was published in l923). 2) Johnston, John White. The True Story of "Jennie" Wade, A

4 Gettysburg Maid. Rochester, NY, John White Johnston, l9l7. The collection contains the text of seven lantern slide lectures on the following Gettysburg themes: l) First Shots at the Battle of Gettysburg. 2) The John Burns Incident. 3) The True Story of "Jennie" Wade, A Gettysburg Maid. 4) The Charge of the Louisiana Tigers. 5) The Truce at Spangler's Springs. 6) Defense of Little Round Top. 7) Rochester Soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg. Mr. Johnston presented one documented, illustrated lecture at the Wizard Theater in Gettysburg on November 11, 1914, titled "The Rochester Soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg." The text of that lecture is in the collection.

This collection has no research material for lecture numbers 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7. "Jennie" Wade

Both Mr. Johnston and Mr. Sowers gathered facts about "Jennie" Wades' death during the first days at the battle of Gettysburg. Mr. Johnston also purchased two properties in Gettysburg associated with "Jennie" Wade. He also endowed the Wade burial lot in the Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg. In addition to that he collected "Jennie" Wade Memorabilia. Some information regarding the involvement of Jennie's sister, Georgia

5 Wade McClellen, with the Women's Relief Corps is included in this collection.

John Burns

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Sowers apparently did much more extensive research to verify the facts behind John Burns participation in the Battle of Gettysburg than they did for "Jennie Wade". Many primary and secondary accounts were collected. Mr. Johnston also collected John Burns memorabilia and endowed the John Burns burial lot in the Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg.

Lincoln - Burns Event

Mr. Johnson published a booklet commemorating the event of President Abraham Lincoln's attending a church service at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church with John Burns on the same day that the former made his Gettysburg Address. Dr. T.C. Billheimer, when he was a student, was at the church and sat near Lincoln. He recollected this experience at the dedication, which was on November l9, l9l4. At this time Mr. Johnston donated two tablets in the pew where Lincoln and Burns sat.

Lincoln

Mr. Johnston and Mr. Sowers collected newspaper articles, photographs and other information, including some first hand

6 accounts of Lincoln's visit to Gettysburg in l863 when he delivered his Gettysburg Address. They also collected information and photographs about Lincoln in general. Included in this collection are two letters and information regarding Robert Todd Lincoln's helping Mr. Johnston. Mr. Johnston also gave an illustrated lecture on the "Mark of Lincoln's Democracy" in Germantown on February l2/l9l5. There is no text and few notes for the lecture on Lincoln.

Andersonville

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Sowers collected much information about Andersonville prison in Georgia, especially the "Providence Spring" incident. He not only corresponded with many ex-prisoners from Andersonville, but also visited the prison with two of them. He arranged to have aerial photographs taken of the prison. There is no text and few notes for the Andersonville lectures, although there are many first hand accounts.

Custer's Last Stand

Mr. Johnston hired Ruth C. Gibson to collect as many literary and photographic materials on Custer's Last Stand as possible. He instructed her to gather books, articles, magazines, letters and interviews on the subject. He secured several interviews from people who had first hand knowledge about Custer. In doing so he was trying to verify facts about the event. Several primary

7 informants such as William Slaper, Jack Lockwood, John Ryan, General Custer's widow and a few Indians were interviewed. The purpose of his research was to write an illustrated lecture, which was planned for l924 or l925. This lecture script is not in the collection.

The Flag

Mr. Johnson collected information to give lantern slide lectures called "The Story of the Flag." Also he did research to verify the facts behind the Barbara Fritchie story. There are only a few first hand accounts about this story in the collection. Miscellaneous

In the miscellaneous box is a Certificate of Freedom of the slave Malinda and her two children, which was signed by S.M. Ball on May l8, l847. Henry, one of the two children, was employed in l925 by the Gettysburg Battlefield. Dr. W. H. O'Neil, who sold the Wade property to Mr. Johnston also sold the Certificate to him. The letters from Dr. O'Neil to Mr. Johnson are in the miscellaneous box with the Certificate of Freedom.

BIOGRAPHY

John White Johnston was a musical composer, author, publisher, lecturer, inventor and manufacturer. He was the first child of Thomas Slater Johnston and Mary Ann White, who were born in or near Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland. John White Johnston was born in Rochester, New York on April 24, l879, in the Whitcomb House Hotel, Rochester, New York. Later, he lived with his parents at 5 Arnold Park until he purchased 8 Arnold Park. His sister, Elizabeth Johnston Carter, was Gregory Carter's grandmother. Mr. Johnston attended Monroe (Number l5) Grammer School, Rochester High School and the Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, where he improved his talent in art. In l899 he entered the Arts Department at Cornell University, then entered Harvard University, where he played the violin for the Pierian Sodality. He organized a Harvard University Band and directed the Harvard University Orchestra. He also wrote the "Stadium March", which was subsequently played by John Phillip Sousa's Band and reproduced by the Victor Phonograph Company. In addition to that, he had other compositions published. After completing a year at the Harvard Law School, he completed two years of post graduate work in l908.

9 John White Johnston was a friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt, when the latter was head of Harvard's newspaper. Mr. Johnston's son, Grant, has letters that were sent to John White Johnston from both Mr. & Mrs. Roosevelt. In l908 Mr. Johnston began an apprenticeship of six years with the Sibley, Lindsay and Curr Company, of which his father was a founder. There he did copy writing, illustrating, sign making, printing and window displays for the direct publicity department. In l9l5 he founded a manufacturing business, Snow White Products, based on his own invention, and established a publication business for the distribution of his historical research. In l9l7 he volunteered for service with the New York Scottish Infantry Regiment, but did not go into battle because the regiment was held in New York City in reserve throughout World War I. In l9l9 John White Johnston founded the Johnston Memorial Pipe Band, a Scottish bagpipe band, as a memorial to his father. In l92l he became the first President of the Monroe County Fish and Game Protective Association. He was also very interested in ornithology and delivered annual lectures in Rochester on the subject of birds. In l922 he refounded the Saint Andrews Scottish Society of Rochester. He was President of the Property Owners Association of Arnold Park as well as the President of the Harvard Club of Rochester and the Monroe County Sportsman's Association. He was an honorable member of the Rochester Garden Club, where he

10 was a lecturer. His biography appears in the History of The Genesee Country, Chicago, S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., l925, Volume III. Also, he is listed in the Rochester Blue Book along with his sister Elizabeth Johnston Carter, his brother, Louis White Johnston, and their father. The latter two were presidents of Sibley, Lindsay and Curr Co. On February l4, l92l, J.W. Johnston married Miss Constance Grant of Arbroath, Scotland. They had a daughter, Mary Grant Johnston, born February 23, l922, and a son Grant White Johnston, born March 27, l925. Grant Johnston and Gregory Carter's father, Paul E. Carter, Jr. served as primary sources of information about John White Johnston's life. While attending the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in l9l3, John White Johnston decided to prepare lantern slide lectures on some aspects of Gettysburg. He did intensive research about these Gettysburg themes, Andersonville prison, Custer's Last Stand and the United States Flag. He also collected memorabilia connected with his research. They were placed on exhibition at the Rochester Museum and in the three historic buildings that he owned in Gettysburg. He was appointed substitute lecturer of the Rochester Historical Society, and gave numerous lectures about the previously mentioned topics. His research and lecturing continued until the Depression, when lack of finances forced him to discontinue these activities. At that time he sold his historical properties in Gettysburg.

11 On July 26, l959, he died in Canandaigua, New York. At that time he was residing at 8 Arnold Park in Rochester, New York. He is buried with his family in Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester. Information regarding Mr. Johnston's genealogy is located in a booklet that Gregory Carter donated to the Museum's library entitled, Johnston, A Genealogy and History of the Family and Ancestors of Thomas Slater Johnston of Firth and Stenness, Orkney, Scotland and Rochester, New York. It was compiled and edited by Gregory Carter's father, Paul Epler Carter, Jr. in l992.
