El artista y arquitecto Dionisio Rodríguez diseñó y creó la cueva a lo largo de diez años, a partir de 1938. Dionisio Rodríguez (1891-1955) de Toluca, México, fue un artista muy popular por su estilo único de transformar el cemento (concreto) en fantásticas obras de arte, que en realidad parecían ser esculpidas en madera; su técnica era conocida como Faux Bois (madera falsa en francés). Las puertas, los bancos y las formaciones de rocas artificiales fueron creadas por el artista para in- vitar a los visitantes a descansar o explorar el paisaje. Rodríguez calificaba su trabajo como “el método rústico”. Dentro de la gruta hay diez esce- nas que representan la vida de Jesu- cristo. Estas escenas fueron realiza- das con una técnica mixta de pintura y escultura. La cueva ofrece un ambiente tranquilo, tanto que quienes la visi- tan sienten una gran paz y aprecian su belleza y valor artístico. Las esculturas de Rodríguez y el Santuario de la Gruta de Cristal en el Cementerio Memorial Park están incluidas en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • Arkansas Moves Toward Secession and War
    RICE UNIVERSITY WITH HESITANT RESOLVE: ARKANSAS MOVES TOWARD SECESSION AND WAR BY JAMES WOODS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS Dr.. Frank E. Vandiver Houston, Texas ABSTRACT This work surveys the history of ante-bellum Arkansas until the passage of the Ordinance of Secession on May 6, 186i. The first three chapters deal with the social, economic, and politicai development of the state prior to 1860. Arkansas experienced difficult, yet substantial .social and economic growth during the ame-belium era; its percentage of population increase outstripped five other frontier states in similar stages of development. Its growth was nevertheless hampered by the unsettling presence of the Indian territory on its western border, which helped to prolong a lawless stage. An unreliable transportation system and a ruinous banking policy also stalled Arkansas's economic progress. On the political scene a family dynasty controlled state politics from 1830 to 186u, a'situation without parallel throughout the ante-bellum South. A major part of this work concentrates upon Arkansas's politics from 1859 to 1861. In a most important siate election in 1860, the dynasty met defeat through an open revolt from within its ranks led by a shrewd and ambitious Congressman, Thomas Hindman. Hindman turned the contest into a class conflict, portraying the dynasty's leadership as "aristocrats" and "Bourbons." Because of Hindman's support, Arkansans chose its first governor not hand¬ picked by the dynasty. By this election the people handed gubernatorial power to an ineffectual political novice during a time oi great sectional crisis.
