One in a series of maps drawn by Henry Lin- denkohl for the U.S. Coast Survey. With the beginning of the Civil War the U.S. Army found itself scrambling to obtain adequate field maps for military operations in the South. The most established cartographic branch of the government, the Coast Survey, was pressed into service to provide these maps, some with a coastal component but mainly for landlocked locations. The cartographers of the Coast Sur- vey reviewed all of the existing cartography available, but also drew on military and scout- ing reports and covert agents to assemble the most detailed maps possible, including places, roads, railroads, and natural features. Brothers Henry and Adolph Lindenkohl made a huge contribution to the war effort through their superb cartographic work, pro- ducing and revising maps of different theatres of operations through 1865. $7500.

SWCA Environmental Consultants 114 North San Francisco Street Suite 100 Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 (928) 774.5500 www.swca.com SWCA Project No. 31119 May 2015 Version EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Flagstaff (City) commissioned this historic context in 2014 for the La Plaza Vieja neighborhood, in Flagstaff, Coconino County, Arizona. This historic context was developed to provide the beginnings of an analytical framework by identifying important historic themes of the neighborhood within time and space. By understanding what geographical, temporal, and historical aspects shaped the physical environment of La Plaza Vieja, we can begin to identify the essential elements critical to the historic integrity of the neighborhood. Using the Areas of Significance established by the National Register, four themes (or areas) of historic significance were identified for La Plaza Vieja: Community Planning and Development, Industry, Ethnic Heritage, and Architecture. This historic context further defined important property types associated with these important historic themes. A property type is the link by which the history of the neighborhood is connected to its built environment. An identified property types was considered important if it correlated with the relevant historic themes present through the development of La Plaza Vieja. Additionally, this study utilized existing literature to aid in determining the historic character-defining elements those property types must possess to be considered significant representations of type and context (including geographical and temporal context).

  • Sojourn to Boston, Story of Rev. Llewellyn L. Berry's Visit to Boston
    On a bright October morning, Mo* and Pop arrived in Boston in a commodious bedroom of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad line. They took a cab to \ the Statler Hotel, where the National Council of Churches was opening a four day conference. Pop was a member of the Executive Committee and was therefore scheduled for meeting with the Africa Committee as well as attending the General Sessions with Kom. ii Pop had long looked forward to the Boston trip with much enthusiasm, not just because his historical interests made him think of the city as the Cradle of Liberty but also because the struggle of Negroes for freedom and justice in these United States is so intimately entwined with the history of Boston. The problems of Protestantism and its services to the people would frankly not receive as much of Pop*s interest on this trip as at previous meetings* While he had made trips to Boston several times befcre, this would be the trip on which he would desert at least in part the interests of the church meetings and turn the pages of history and walk down the corridors of time for his own personal enjoymant. They had eaten breakfast on the train, so they went immediately to the registra tion desk and b riefly exchanged greetings with friendw whom they had brown accustomed to meeting at these interracial and interdenominational meetings. Miss ________________ Shotwell and ________________________________ were helping with registration. / t Hello, Dr. Berry and Mrs. Berry. I haven*t seen you since Buckhill Falls.
