  • The Gettysburg Campaign: a Contemporary Account by Whitelaw Reid
    I The Gettysburg Campaign: A Contemporary Account by Whitelaw Reid Assignment 1863, June 18 From Philadelphia “Pennsylvania invaded!” “Harrisburg expected to fall!” “Lee’s whole army moving through Chambersburg in three grand columns of attack!” And so on for quantity. Such were the pleasing assurances that began to burst on us in the West on Tuesday morning. All Pennsylvania seemed to be quivering in spasms over the invasion. Pittsburgh suspended business and went to fortifying; veracious gentlemen along the railroad lines and in little villages of the interior rushed to the telegraph offices and did their duty to their country by giving their fears to the wings of the lightning. I was quietly settling myself in comfortable quarters at the Neil House to look on at the counterpart of last week’s Vallandigham Convention1 when dispatches reached me, urging an immediate 1 Reid’s reference is to the Ohio state Democratic convention, which convened in Columbus on June 11 and nominated Clement L. Vallandigham for the gover- norship. A leader of the northern Peace Democrats (often called Copperheads), Vallandigham had been arrested for treason on May 5, 1863, and, following banish- ment to Confederate lines, took up exile in Canada that July. The peace movement in the North gained thousands of adherents in the spring of 1863. 99781405181129_4_001.indd781405181129_4_001.indd 1 99/9/2008/9/2008 88:02:01:02:01 PPMM 2 Two Witnesses at Gettysburg departure for the scene of action. I was well convinced that the whole affair was an immense panic, but the unquestioned movements of Lee and Hooker gave certain promise to something; and besides, whether grounded or groundless, the alarm of invasion was a subject that demanded attention.2 And so, swallowing my disgust at the irregular and unauthorized demonstrations of the rebels, I hastened off.

Winter The Massachusetts Art Commission respectfully submits the Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 1996. The Art Commission is charged under General Laws chapter 6, sections 19 and 20 with "the care and custody oj all historical relics in the State House, and oj all works oj art." As the appointed curators, it is the responsibility of the Art Commission to insure that this growing museum quality collection is professionally handled, properly maintained and appropriately displayed. The Commission receives annual legislative appropriations for its programs, distributed through the Bureau of State Office Buildings. We are pleased to report on another busy and successful year of activities. ART CONSERVATION PROGRAMS I. Paintings and frames, August-December 1995. The Art Commission continued its program of conservation and preservation of the State House art collection with the cleaning and professional treatment of several portraits and their frames. Contracts were issued in August to Carmichael Conservation, Methuen, and Gianfranco Pocobene, Malden, for treatment of eleven easel paintings which exhibited a variety of conservation conditions including discolored varnish, grime, stains, and abrasion. Contracts were also awarded to Susan Jackson, Harvard, and Trefler & Sons, Needham, to address ten frames which had experienced chipping and other damage to plaster and gesso decoration, abrasion, loss of gold leaf, and discolored over-painting.

  • “I Used to Be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830)
    Chapter Two “I Used to be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830) In 1817, a British traveler described Indiana as “a vast forest, larger than England, just penetrated in places, by the back-wood settlers, who are half hunters, half farmers.”i Late in the previous year, Thomas Lincoln, his wife, and their two children entered the Buck Horn Valley of that state, which had just been admitted to the Union.ii The family’s journey from Kentucky was arduous, relentlessly exposing them to the rigors of camping out on cold winter nights. Upon reaching their new home site, the little i Elias Pym Fordham, Personal Narrative of Travels in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and of a Residence in the Illinois Territory, 1817-1818 (Cleveland: Augustus H.

  • “A Death-Shock to Chivalry, and a Mortal Wound to Caste”: the Story of Tad and Abraham Lincoln in Richmond
    “A Death-shock to Chivalry, and a Mortal Wound to Caste”: The Story of Tad and Abraham Lincoln in Richmond RICHARD WIGHTMAN FOX On Tuesday, April 4, 1865, his twelfth birthday, Tad Lincoln woke up in his cabin on the USS Malvern as it lay moored on the James River at City Point, Virginia, the headquarters of General Grant. On this day of celebration, with his mother home in Washington and his twenty-one- year-old brother Captain Robert Lincoln busily engaged on Grant’s staff, Tad could look forward to getting his father more or less to himself. For a boy captivated by the war, by soldiers, by the entire adult male world of work—he had already befriended the military band members at City Point and the mechanics in the engine room of the ship—this birthday bonanza far surpassed any he could have imagined. On April 3, Union forces had finally captured Richmond, the Confederate capital, and this morning the president was taking him upriver for a victory tour of the city. Tad knew some of what to expect, since the day before, as federal troops marched into Richmond, he and Robert had witnessed the ecstatic reception their father received from African Americans and Union soldiers in newly occupied Petersburg, fifteen miles southwest of City Point (and thirty miles south of Richmond). Admiral David Dixon Porter, who had traveled there by train with the president, later recalled the streets of Petersburg being “alive with negroes, who were crazy to see their savior, as they called the President.” Regiment after regiment of soldiers offered “three cheers for Uncle Abe,” along with hearty cries on the order of “we’ll get ’em, Abe, where the ‘boy had the hen,’” and “you go home and sleep sound tonight; we boys will put you through!” In Richmond too the president would be welcomed with yells, songs, and prayers of thanksgiving.

Art of the Civil War at the Massachusetts State House The grateful affection of Massachusetts does not suffer the memory of her distinguished sons, or their high service in her name, to fade and perish in her heart; nor will she permit the laurels she has proudly set upon their uplifted brows to wither in the dust of forgetfulness. The Hon. Herbert Parker, A Record of the Dedication of the Statue of Major General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks, September 16, 1908. Boston: 1909 Over 3,800,000 troops drawn from every state fought in the “War of the Rebellion,” the civil war that tore the eighty-year-old nation apart and cost 620,000 lives – more than any other conflict in American history. Massachusetts enlisted 146,730 men within units of the army, navy, and the newly formed marine corps. 6,100 never returned; another 7,800 died of injury, disease, or other causes directly related to their service. As the nation recovered, cities and towns sought to heal their own wounds by paying tribute to their troops. War memorials by the thousands were commissioned over the next four decades for the smallest rural cemeteries to the Capitol in Washington, D.

The intense weather, extended time under fire, and unprecedented slaughter took its toll on the rank and file. For many of the army’s best and most hardened veterans, this would be their last campaign. As their anticipation for home grew, however, their disdain for the new style of warfare grew with it.
