Articles Camp Followers, Nurses, Soldiers, and Spies: Women and the Modern Memory of the Revolutionary War By Heather K. Garrett Abstract: When asked of their memory of the American Revolution, most would reference George Washington or Paul Revere, but probably not Molly Pitcher, Lydia Darragh, or Deborah Sampson. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate not only the lack of inclusivity of women in the memory of the Revolutionary War, but also why the women that did achieve recognition surpassed the rest. Women contributed to the war effort in multiple ways, including serving as cooks, laundresses, nurses, spies, and even as soldiers on the battlefields. Unfortunately, due to the large number of female participants, it would be impossible to include the narratives of all of the women involved in the war.

  • The Historical Society of Pennsylvania WASHINGTON by JOSEPH WRIGHT, 1784 the Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    The Historical Society of Pennsylvania WASHINGTON BY JOSEPH WRIGHT, 1784 THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Powel Portrait of Washington by Joseph Wright N THE EARLY 1930's when the selection of the best likeness of Washington for official use during the Washington Bicentennial I was being made, the choice narrowed down to a portrait painted by Joseph Wright for Mrs. Samuel Powel and the bust by Houdon. Though the experts agreed that the portrait was probably the better likeness, the bust was selected since it had long been nationally known. The portrait, on the other hand, had never been on public display and had been seen only by generations of Powels and their friends.1 It was not until the 1930's that it emerged from that state of privacy. Its history dates back to the autumn of 1783 and the arrival at Washington's headquarters at Rocky Hill, near Princeton, New Jersey, of a young artist, Joseph Wright. Born in nearby Borden- town in 1756, the son of Patience Wright, who was probably America's first sculptress, Wright had accompanied his mother to England in 1772. There he studied painting under Benjamin West 1 John C. Fitzpatrick, editor of The Writings of George Washington, told Mr. Powel this anecdote. Robert J. H.

  • Gordon Giltrap BIOGRAPHY
    Gordon Giltrap BIOGRAPHY Over the past forty years, Gordon Giltrap has graced the music business with his dedication to his craft and his affection for his audience. As one of the UK's most respected guitarists, he has consistently proved the adage that respect cannot be bought. It must be earned. Gordon was born on 6 April 1948, at the British Home for Mothers and Babies in Brenchley, Kent. The son of a labourer, he grew up in an austere but protective community of terraced houses in Deptford, south-east London. His obsession with stringed instruments began nine years later, when a friend turned up at the house with an out-of-tune Spanish guitar. Keen to encourage his new hobby, his parents bought him a plastic ukulele with a picture of Elvis on the headstock, then a Martin Coletti archtop jazz guitar with a sunburst finish and a brown canvas case. Without a teacher to guide him and just a set of pitch pipes and a book entitled “First Steps” he taught himself how to tune the instrument and finger basic chords. A familiar story I’m sure you have heard before from many of the guitar legends around today! Gordon joined his first band when barely in his teens, and relished the opportunity to play songs by his idols - Cliff Richard, The Shadows and The Everly Brothers. He set his sights on Art College, but bowed to his father's insistence that he learn "a trade", and grafted his way through a series of unrewarding jobs. Gordon unwittingly taught himself a hybrid technique of plectrum and little finger, but in doing so, created the individual sound that is still his trademark.

Kelby, Librarian Emeritus WAX PORTRAITURE Concerning the art of wax portraiture, considerable will be found in print relating to the work of foreign artists and subjects in the collections of wax works in various institutions and private collections abroad, but only a beginning has been made in bringing out the wax portraiture done in America or the work of American sculptors in wax. The New York Historical Society has some interesting examples of wax portraits which form the basis of this article. In our Egyp­ tian collection we have four wax figures of the Sons of Horus repre­ sented with mummiform bodies and heads of a jackal, baboon, falcon and man. These figures date from XXI-XXII Dynasties (1909-745 B.C.) and are funerary gods whose function was to guard the viscera of the dead.

  • (Patience Qbrigitf, Q#A*
    (patience QBrigitf, Q#a* In volumes rv. and v. there are references to Patience Wright, for m. Lovell (1725-1786). Among manuscripts recently received from Mrs. Vere O'Brien (nee Arnold-Forster) is a copy of a letter from John Dickinson, of Philadelphia, to Mrs. Wright, as follows : Madam, I now gratefully acknowledge the Receipt of two Letters from you, and in treat you to pardon my not answering them sooner. The Business in which I have been involved by the unhappy Affairs of our native Country, and a great deal of Sickness, have occasion 'd so long a delay in writing to you, which I hope therefore you'll be so good as to excuse. I heartily thank you for the Intelligence you have been pleased to give me, and shall be obliged for as frequent a Correspondence as will be agreeable to you. America now waits for the Decision of Great Britain resolved at every hazard to resist Force by Force, with a probability, at worst, a Chance for Success ; and, that, your Share of public Spirit must satisfy is better than the certainty of Poverty, Slavery, Misery and Infamy, that must overtake us and our Posterity by a tame submission. Nothing less than an assurance of these Calamities falling upon us, and our Descendants, could have reconciled your loyal and dutiful Countrymen to the thoughts of bearing Arms, against the powers of our Sovreign & parent State. But the Schemes agitated against us are too evident for Men of the least Sense and Virtue to hesitate on the part they ought to take.

  • Art in America Before the Revolution , As a Subject
    A rt in Am eric a Befo re th e R evo lu tio n EDWI N SWI FT BALCH Your Excellency : Fellow M emb ers of th e Society of Colonial Art in America before the Revolution , as a subject for study , divides itself perforce into two divisions . The first is the native indigenous art , the art of the American an Indi s , or Amerinds , as some ethnologists now call them . which is prehistoric to the landing of the Northmen on the American continent , which still lingers in some places , but which is gradually dying out with its makers . This art o . extended all over America , fr m Patagonia to Canada Except perhaps in Alaska and along the Arctic it is prae m en . tically one art , the art of the Red It varies locally , so that one may say that there are several subdivisions of this f art , but it is always su ficiently similar as to make it almost f certain that it is the art of one race . It is also su ficiently distinct from the arts of the races of the Old World as to make it almost certain that it is prob ably mainly an autochthonous art ; that is , an art which grew up on the soil and was not imported . One wave of this art at one period flowed over the plains of the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers , namely the Moundb uilders s art of the , among who e mounds some most an d interesting potteries sculptures have been found . A later wave , or perhaps merely descent through time , spread 1 4 .
