Editor’s Notebook Silks, Scraps, and Splinters . Anniversaries of nation-changing events generate bursts of creative intellec- tual energy as historians of every stripe, from armchair warriors to scholars in the country’s most prestigious universities, reexamine the causes, events, and legacies of monumental wars. Tis year the country stands at the sesquicentennial of the Civil War and over the next four years publishing houses and cultural institutions will bring forth thousands of books, articles, exhibitions, programs, and tours, all designed to engage the curious in the story of a war that claimed more than six hundred thousand lives. Some look for family connections, others search for deeper understanding of the forces that shredded the bonds between North and South, and then there are those who stumble across documents and artifacts and fnd new people and stories that add to our knowledge. Te Maryland Historical Society staf defly wrestled with the challenge of how to engagingly and respectfully commemorate this anniversary, and this special is- sue of the magazine is our permanent contribution to the state’s Civil War history. Scholars featured herein are at vastly diferent points in their careers. Celebrated historian Frank Towers is among the reigning experts on sectional politics; Claudia Floyd has enviable command of Baltimore’s post-war Confederate culture; Jonathan White masterfully harnessed the gritty personalities of those who witnessed the Pratt Street Riot; Kevin Konrad, Manon Parry, and Diane Wendt perceptively pulled Amanda Akin’s sympathetic humanity from her memoirs; Gregory Lande confdently tackled George W. McDonald’s court-martial; and Meirah Shedlo, whose work as an undergraduate museum intern delighted and amazed us, crafed an intriguing glimpse of civilian life. Matt Hetrick, University of Delaware doctoral student and current book review editor served as “guest editor” and skillfully managed the calls for papers, submissions, reader reports, and author correspondence. Te question of how to tell Maryland’s Civil War story in an exhibition began in 2009 with discussion of the classic “house divided” and “brother against brother” themes, bounced of of Charley Mitchell’s Maryland Voices of the Civil War, and landed on “Divided Voices.” Te result is a striking and at times chilling account told through the letters, diaries, images, and personal belongings of those who lived through it—and did not know how or when it would end. We strove to iden- tify representative persons among the men, women, children, Union supporters, Southern sympathizers, Confederates, free and enslaved blacks, immigrants, and native-born families who had been here for generations, in an efort to present the complexities and personal conficts that certainly existed between and within the people of Maryland. Sorting and sifing through the thousands of Civil War papers and objects lef in our care over the past century and a half produced a stunning selection from which to choose. Robert E. Lee’s iconic camp chair and the haunting shadowbox featured on the cover come quickly to mind. More intriguing, however, are the pieces, the fragments, all the more powerful in that they have survived. Te thumb-sized sliver of wood from the platform on which John Brown was hanged afer a failed attempt to capture a federal arsenal in Harper’s Ferry; the regimental fag that the 4th United States Coloured Troops carried and so gallantly saved at Chafn’s Farm, the remaining shattered silk now meticulously conserved; and the scrap of faded burgundy and cream foral wallpaper removed from President Abraham Lincoln’s box at Ford’s Teatre afer the assassination, curiously found among the papers of John Wilkes Booth’s family. Tese are the pieces that attract a second look and prompt the questions that drive us deeper into the past on a period rush that carries us back to the 1860s. And once there, on familiar terrain, the release of intuitive imagination allows us to retrieve more of Maryland’s story. Tis is history at its best.

    NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1924 TO 1950 MARTIN JOOS for JENNIE MAE JOOS FORE\\ORO It is important for the reader of this document to know how it came to be written and what function it is intended to serve. In the early 1970s, when the Executive Committee and the Committee on Pub1ications of the linguistic Society of America v.ere planning for the observance of its Golden Anniversary, they decided to sponsor the preparation of a history of the Society's first fifty years, to be published as part of the celebration. The task was entrusted to the three living Secretaries, J M. Cowan{who had served from 1940 to 1950), Archibald A. Hill {1951-1969), and Thomas A. Sebeok {1970-1973). Each was asked to survey the period of his tenure; in addition, Cowan,who had learned the craft of the office from the Society's first Secretary, Roland G. Kent {deceased 1952),was to cover Kent's period of service. At the time, CO'flal'\was just embarking on a new career. He therefore asked his close friend Martin Joos to take on his share of the task, and to that end gave Joos all his files. Joos then did the bulk of the research and writing, but the~ conferred repeatedly, Cowansupplying information to which Joos v.t>uldnot otherwise have had access. Joos and HiU completed their assignments in time for the planned publication, but Sebeok, burdened with other responsibilities, was unable to do so. Since the Society did not wish to bring out an incomplete history, the project was suspended.

From incorporation in 1796 the municipal government's evolution has been indicative of this process. From its inception the city government has been dominated by the mayor and city council. The records of these chief administrative units, spanning nearly the entire history of Baltimore, are among the most significant sources for this city's history. This guide is the product of a two year effort in arranging and describing the mayor and city council records funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These records are the backbone of the historical records of the municipal government which now total over three thousand cubic feet and are available for researchers. The publication of this guide, and three others available on other records, is preliminary to a guide to the complete holdings of the Baltimore City Archives scheduled for publication in 1983. During the last two years many debts to individuals were accumulated. First and foremost is my gratitude to the staff of the NHPRC, most especially William Fraley and Larry Hackman, who made numerous suggestions regarding the original proposal and assisted with problems that appeared during the project.

    Loudon Park National Cemetery Lodge

    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY LOUDON PARK NATIONAL CEMETERY, LODGE HALS No. MD-5-A Location: 3445 Frederick Avenue, Baltimore, (Independent City), Maryland. The coordinates for the Loudon Park National Cemetery, Lodge are 76.683404 W and 39.2722228 N, and they were obtained in August 2012 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. Present Owner: National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Prior to 1988, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs was known as the Veterans Administration. The Veterans Administration took over management of Loudon Park National Cemetery from the U.S. Army in 1973 (Public Law 93-43). Date: 1885-86. Builder/Contractor: William Roussey. Description: The lodge for Loudon Park retained the three-room, L-shaped plan developed for the Second Empire style lodges, however, it assumed a Victorian-era cottage aesthetic with cross gable roofs, overhanging eaves, decorative bargeboards and brackets, paired double-hung sash glazed with two-over-two lights and operable shutters on the exterior. The millwork inside plus the built-in cabinet and corner stair contributed to the overall cottage-like characteristics of the building. The principal elevation faces west toward the entrance drive. The building is two stories in height and was constructed of brick, complete with a water table. The chimneys were built of brick as well. Granite was used for the sills. Inside, the floors are wood, and the wood doors are paneled. In the mid-1920s electricity came to the lodge, and by the decade’s end, its heating system had been modernized as well.
