  • Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875)
    Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875) uring the late 18th century and through much of the 19th century, army forts were constructed throughout the United States to defend the growing nation from a variety of threats, both perceived and real. Seventeen of these sites are depicted in a collection painted especially for Dthe U.S. Capitol by Seth Eastman. Born in 1808 in Brunswick, Maine, Eastman found expression for his artistic skills in a military career. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where offi­ cers-in-training were taught basic drawing and drafting techniques, Eastman was posted to forts in Wisconsin and Minnesota before returning to West Point as assistant teacher of drawing. Eastman also established himself as an accomplished landscape painter, and between 1836 and 1840, 17 of his oils were exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City. His election as an honorary member of the academy in 1838 further enhanced his status as an artist. Transferred to posts in Florida, Minnesota, and Texas in the 1840s, Eastman became interested in the Native Americans of these regions and made numerous sketches of the people and their customs. This experience prepared him for his next five years in Washington, D.C., where he was assigned to the commissioner of Indian Affairs and illus­ trated Henry Rowe Schoolcraft’s important six-volume Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States. During this time Eastman also assisted Captain Montgomery C. Meigs, superintendent of the Capitol Brevet Brigadier General Seth Eastman.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

  • Pierce Butler's Letters to George Cadwalader from Fort Lafayette
    Pierce Butler’s letters to George Cadwalader from Fort Lafayette Historical Society of Pennsylvania, George Cadwalader Papers, Collection 1454, Box 411, Folder 3, Correspondence: June-December 1861 Letter #1 Fort Lafayette, Aug. 24, 1861 [Answ. 4 th Sept. 1861] My dear George, After we parted at Camden [New Jersey] on the day of my arrest, nothing occurred until our arrival at New York. The Marshall, his assistant and myself walked to the Aston House, where we stayed about two hours. I wrote a note to Fanny from there, and one to my daughter Fanny at Lenox, to let them know of my arrest. We took a carriage and drove to Fort Hamilton; we reached there at 2 o’c in the morning, and after the necessary ceremonies to gain admittance, we were introduced to Lieut. Col. Martin Burke, 2 nd Artillery, who commands that Fort as well as this one. He received us courteously, and after a brief explanation by the Marshall, I was tranferred in a boat to this Fort. Lieut Chas. O. Wood, 9 th Infantry commands here; Lieut Sterling, 1 st Infantry is second in command; there are about fifty recruits not yet assigned; these, and a sergeant of ordanance constitute the whole force. Mayor [C-y?] [of Baltimore?] is also at Fort Hamilton, but I have not seen him. I found fifteen citizen prisoners here on my arrival on Tuesday morning; I made the sixteenth; four have come in since, to that we have twenty. More are expected. None of those here were taken in arms.

  • 'Copperhead Gore: Benjamin Wood's Fort Lafayette and Civil War America'
    H-Indiana Rodgers on Blondheim, 'Copperhead Gore: Benjamin Wood's Fort Lafayette and Civil War America' Review published on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 Menahem Blondheim, ed. Copperhead Gore: Benjamin Wood's Fort Lafayette and Civil War America. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2006. xi + 291 pp. $21.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-253-21847-6; $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-253-34737-4. Reviewed by Thomas E. Rodgers (Department of History, University of Southern Indiana) Published on H-Indiana (November, 2006) The Copperhead Perspective In Copperhead Gore, Menahem Blondheim presents Benjamin's Wood's Civil War novel,Fort Lafayette; or, Love and Secession (1862). He provides an extensive introduction to the novel, a glossary and explanatory notes for various references in it, and two speeches made by Wood in Congress during the war. Benjamin Wood was the editor of theNew York Daily News and a Democratic congressman from New York during the Civil War. Fernando Wood, the mayor of New York City and head of the Mozart Hall faction of the city's Democratic Party, was an older brother who helped his mother raise Benjamin after their father's death. Wood was seen by contemporaries as one of the most notorious Copperheads, a term used by Republicans for northerners who most strongly opposed the Union war effort. In presenting Wood's novel and speeches, Blondheim hopes to give voice to a dissenting wartime minority whose perspective, in his view, has been largely neglected. Blondheim also contends that Wood'sFort Lafayette is "the Civil War's single pacifist novel" (p. 1).
