  • African Americans Fight for the Union the Civil War Was a Turning Point In
    [Type text] African Americans Fight for the Union The Civil War was a turning point in black history for many reasons. After Lincoln’s issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, free blacks saw their chance to fight for their country. By doing so, African Americans hoped to show their worthiness to be treated as equal citizens. However, African Americans were not exactly welcomed into the Union military with open arms. While slavery was banned in many Northern states, the border states that were fighting for the Union still allowed slavery. In addition, racist sentiments were strong in both the North and the South and many whites were not keen on training African American soldiers. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln authorized the recruitment of African Americans into the Union army and Camp William Penn was built as a training facility for black troops. Explore the significance of Camp William Penn as a turning point in African American history in the collections of the Historical Society.

    Dear All: November 6, 2014 For those of you who were able to join us at our WB&A Members Only Semi‐Annual General Membership/Swap Meet it was good to see you and we are glad you were able to join us. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

  • Transforming Communities
    Transforming Communities 2019 Lost in the deep woods sheltering the Manatawny and Ironstone Creeks is the mythical Secret Valley, once the province of pioneers and patriots. Their stories can be heard in the soft winds whispering through the tall trees and towering trestles of the Colebrookdale Railroad—a magical, forgotten railway to the heart of this Secret Valley. It is your ticket to a place and time when iron rails connected a divided people and the heart of the nation pulsed with the potent energy of the steam locomotive. Completed by soldiers home from the Civil War just four months after the Transcontinental Railroad united East and West, the Colebrookdale is a record of epic engineering and heroic human drama. Eight-point-six miles long and a century- and-a-half back in time, the Secret Valley Line beckons you to experience for yourself the unexpected treasures of Southeastern Pennsylvania. 2 3 M I S S I O N TO SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE PRESERVATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE HISTORIC, CULTURAL, AND NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE MIDDLE SCHUYLKILL REGION, BIRTHPLACE OF THE AMERICAN IRON INDUSTRY. 4 Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and our grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.
