Front Matter.Vp BIENNIAL REPORT OFFICE OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY July 1, 2002-June 30, 2004 TOP LEFT: Many special activities and events were held to commemorate the centennial of the North Carolina Historical Commission in March 2003, including the publication of a new history of the Office of Archives and History. All images by the Office of Archives and History unless otherwise indicated. TOP RIGHT: A number of agencies in the Office of Archives and History presented special programs, exhibits, and publications to acknowledge the centennial of manned flight in December 2003. This full-size replica of the Wright brothers’ airplane hung above the lobby of the North Carolina Museum of History. BOTTOM LEFT: An ongoing legal controversy concerning the ownership of the state’s original copy of the Bill of Rights dominated the latter half of the biennium. In January 2004, a federal district judge ruled that the document, removed from the State Capitol by a Union soldier in 1865, belonged to North Carolina as a public record. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Attorney General’s Office and Karen Blum, N.C. Department of Justice. CENTER RIGHT: Gov. Michael F. Easley proclaimed a two-year “Celebration of North Carolina Craft” for 2004-2005 to commemorate Tar Heel craft traditions, artisans, and products. Among several exhibits designed by the Museum of History in keeping with this theme was the Crafted from Silver: Objects in the Museum’s Collection, which was on display from March to May 2004. This elegant tea service, ca. 1840-1850, was created by Thomas William Brown of Wilmington. BOTTOM RIGHT: Among the highlights of the biennium for the Division of State Historic Sites and Properties was the reopening of the Old Kentucky Home at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial in Asheville in May 2004. The famous boardinghouse, severely damaged by an arsonist in 1998, was painstakingly restored to its 1916 appearance, the year Thomas Wolfe left home to matriculate at the University of North Carolina.

Crow, Deputy Secretary During the 2002-2004 biennium, the Office of Archives and History celebrated an important milestone—its one hundredth anniversary. The retrospective proved timely. Despite continuing budget cuts in Archives and History since 1991, North Carolinians could look with pride upon the accomplishments of their state historical agency over the period of a century. The theme of the commemoration—“History for All the People”— originated with Dr. Christopher Crittenden, director of the Department of Archives and History from 1935 to 1968. Writing in 1941, Crittenden declared: “Our histories should be something of broad, general interest—not merely for the professional historians, not merely for the genealogists, not just for any other limited group, but instead for the people at large.” The theme became part of a logo designed by Michael Southern and the title of a book on the history of the agency by Ansley Wegner. Several years in the making, the centennial observance featured public programs with wide appeal. The North Carolina State Archives and the North Carolina Museum of History collaborated on an exhibit titled Presidential Ink: Signatures and Memorabilia. The commemoration culminated on the weekend of March 7-8, 2003, with special events for the public and a subscription dinner at which the distinguished historian William E. Leuchtenburg gave the keynote address. He chose as his topic the role of Robert D. W. Connor in the creation of presidential libraries. President Franklin D. Roosevelt named Connor first archivist of the United States, 1934-1941. Connor, of course, was the first secretary of the North Carolina Historical Commission, 1903- 1921. Roosevelt’s home in Hyde Park, New York, became the first presidential library. As memorable as the centennial celebration was, it occurred under a fiscal cloud. The Office of Archives and History

  • RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS by Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee
    Field Notes - Spring 2016 Issue RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS By Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee We have been reviewing new books about the Olmsteds and the art of landscape architecture for so long that the book section of our website is beginning to resemble a bibliography. To make this resource more useful for researchers and interested readers, we’re beginning a series of articles about older publications that remain useful and enjoyable. We hope to focus on the landmarks of the Olmsted literature that appeared before the creation of our website as well as shorter writings that were not intended to be scholarly works or best sellers but that add to our understanding of Olmsted projects and themes. THE OLMSTEDS AND THE VANDERBILTS The Vanderbilts and the Gilded Age: Architectural Aspirations 1879-1901. by John Foreman and Robbe Pierce Stimson, Introduction by Louis Auchincloss. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1991, 341 pages. At his death, William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885) was the richest man in America. In the last eight years of his life, he had more than doubled the fortune he had inherited from his father, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), who had created an empire from shipping and then done the same thing with the New York Central Railroad. William Henry left the bulk of his estate to his two eldest sons, but each of his two other sons and four daughters received five million dollars in cash and another five million in trust. This money supported a Vanderbilt building boom that remains unrivaled, including palaces along Fifth Avenue in New York, aristocratic complexes in the surrounding countryside, and palatial “cottages” at the fashionable country resorts.

  • Biltmore Forest School Reunion, May 29,1950 Mr
    “Flowers for the Living” A Tribute to a Master By Inman F. Eldredge Biltmore ‘06 Carl Alvin Schenck, the forester, the teacher, and, even more, the personality, made a place in my mind and in my heart that has grown even deeper and warmer as the years of my life have ripened. From that day in Sep- tember, 1904, when I came up, a gay young sprout, from the sand hills of South Carolina to join the Biltmore Forest School, to this at the quiet end of my forestry career, no man has quite supplanted him in affection and respect. I knew him, as did most of his "boys," when he was at his brilliant best; bold in thought, colorful in word and phrase, and so damned energetic in action that he kept two horses, three dogs and all of his pupils winded and heaving six days out of the week. There was never a dull hour either in class or in the woods. He knew his subject as did no other man in America and had, to a truly remarkable degree, a happy ability to reach and guide our groping minds without apparent effort. Full and broad as was the knowledge he imparted from a rich background of training and experience his teaching was not confined to class room lectures and hillside demonstrations. Some of the things I learned at Biltmore would be hard to find in any text book published then or later— things, that as I look back over my 44 years as a forester, have proved fully as potent for good as any of the technical disciplines of the profession.

  • Did You Know? North Carolina
    Did You Know? North Carolina Discover the history, geography, and government of North Carolina. The Land and Its People The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain affords opportunities for farming, fishing, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright-leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state’s many beaches. The mainland coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains—including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in eastern America (6,684 feet)—add to the variety that is apparent in the state’s topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and textile manufacturing plants. The Piedmont Plateau, though dotted with many small rolling farms, is primarily a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles. Here are located North Carolina’s five largest cities. In the southeastern section of the Piedmont—known as the Sandhills, where peaches grow in abundance—is a winter resort area known also for its nationally famous golf courses and stables.
