    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.

  • Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary, Vicksburg
    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi and Louisiana Geologic Resources Division Prepared by Katie KellerLynn National Park Service August 6, 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) Program, administered by the Geologic Resources Division, provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting, a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues and, if possible, include a site visit with local experts. The purpose of these meetings is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic features and processes, resource management issues, and potential monitoring and research needs. Outcomes of this scoping process are a scoping summary (this report), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. The Geologic Resources Division held a GRI scoping meeting for Vicksburg National Military Park on April 14, 2010, at the park headquarters/visitor center in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, and Gulf Coast Network, as well as cooperators from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Office of Geology; and Colorado State University (table 2). Superintendent Mike Madell welcomed the group and expressed his interest in the geologic resources inventory. Madell had participated in previous scoping meetings for Niobrara National Scenic River and Missouri National Recreation Area. During the meeting, Tim Connors (Geologic Resources Division) facilitated the group’s assessment of map coverage and needs, and Lisa Norby (Geologic Resources Division) led the discussion of geologic features and processes.

Sponsored by THE CITY OF GALENA 1937 Copyrighted, 1937, by The City of Galena ; 777. 33V F 51: «<: 3>U. Wilt . -Mc^o^c^ Foreword 'Towns were never intended as objects of worship, we believe. Surely ours was not. But, if it were possible to have such gods, and if we were compelled to worship none better, we should choose one with a marked character in appearance of hills and valleys, of beetling cliffs and quiet dells, far rather than a city of tame curvatures or of a level plain." —Editorial, Galena Daily Advertiser, 1856. WE whose lives have been shaped against the background of Galena's past may be inclined to accept our birthright as a matter of course without fully realizing that our little town has national signifi- cance as a unique bit of Americana. We have come to regard Galena and its romantic past—its aging buildings with their wealth of architectural treasure—as our personal prize when as a matter of fact it belongs not only to us but to America. We of Galena are merely its custodians, holding it in trust for future generations and for the world beyond our little hills.
