  • A Battlefield Museum in Missouri Displays One Scavenger's Many

    A Battlefield Museum in Missouri Displays One Scavenger's Many

    A battlefield museum in Missouri displays one scavenger’s many finds Source: Kansas City Star, adapted by Newsela staff Kansas City, MO— It started six decades ago. As construction crews began developing sections of a Kansas City meadow near the Blue River, a man concerned about the impact on history began showing up with a metal detector. Over an 11-year period beginning in 1952, John Adams Jr. dug up dozens of items. The objects he found had been left behind by Union and Confederate soldiers during the October 1864 Battle of Westport. Adams found belt buckles, revolvers, bayonets, unexploded artillery shells—even a carved bullet that may have been used as a chess piece. Often he arrived after big rains, in case rushing water had revealed something previously hidden. Whenever new construction commenced, he asked permission to look around. Today, many national battlefield preservationists frown mightily on such a artifact hunting. Local Civil War students, however, are thankful for the work of Adams, whose relatives had farmed the battlefield area before and after the war. Because of Adams, a collection of artifacts from Kansas City’s most significant Civil War battle survives today. “A Bunch of Rusted Things” Visitors to the Battle of Westport Visitors Center and Museum during the battle’s 150th anniversary commemoration, which began October 23, can see what Adams saved. About 75 artifacts that he retrieved from the area now known as the Byram’s Ford Big Blue Battlefield will be on exhibit. The collection, which museum organizers learned about only recently, represents a huge increase in the number of known Battle of Westport relics.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, October 30, 2018 * The Boston Globe Craig Kimbrel was the picture of happiness Peter Abraham The field at Dodger Stadium was nearly covered by Red Sox players and their families after Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night. Everyone was snapping photos and hugging, the celebration just getting underway. No player had a bigger smile than Craig Kimbrel, who was carrying his daughter Lydia Joy. She was wide awake and taking in the scene only one week before her first birthday. That Lydia was on the field with her father was reason enough to celebrate. She was born with a heart condition that required several rounds of surgery. Kimbrel missed much of spring training to be with Lydia and his wife, Ashley, at Boston Children’s Hospital. Yet here she was, dressed in a baby-sized jersey with “Kimbrel” across the back as she rode contentedly in her father’s strong right arm. “This is such a moment. I could not be happier right now,” said Kimbrel, who converted all six postseason save chances he had, despite a 5.91 earned run average. Kimbrel said his daughter helped motivate him throughout the season, her plight putting baseball in a perspective he had never known before. “She did a lot for me. A lot,” Kimbrel said. “Life changes when you have a child and the difficulties she went through, it definitely changes your view. It makes you stronger and makes you appreciate things more. It makes you appreciate each day more.” Lydia may not remember her night on the field after the Sox won, but there will be plenty of photos and videos to paint the picture years from now.
