    A Civil War Christmas: Digital Dramaturgy By Paula Vogel Directed by Rebecca Taichman Choreographed by Liz Lerman Nov 19–Dec 22, 2013 Source: Dramaturg Drew Barker, Program Notes Place: Washington, D.C., and along the Potomac River Time: Christmastime, near the end of the Civil War 1. Washington DC in 1864 Viewing the skyline of the nation’s capital in late 1864 one would still be able to recognize the grand symbols of the city. The Capitol dome was finished the previous December, and the Smithsonian Castle completed since 1855. The Patent Office Building (which would eventually house the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum) towered over its neighbors and the White House stood as we see it today sans West and East Wings. After the war began the population which could be seen on the streets of the capital boomed from 63,000 to at times as many as 200,000 while soldiers, bureaucrats, laborers, merchants, prostitutes, doctors, and contraband slaves flooded into the city. The majority of the roads, however, were dirt or mud depending upon the weather. The Evening Star reported on December 24, 1864 that “the Potomac River is still covered with ice and the channels are frozen over.” The District’s newspaper went on to describe how a mail boat was caught in the ice and the passengers had to walk ashore, after which an attempt by tugboat to dislodge the vessel proved unsuccessful. 2. Lincoln’s White House Source: Mr. Lincoln’s White House Historical Database http://mrlincolnswhitehouse.org/ In Springfield, where the Lincolns had lived for the previous two decades, the Lincoln family had trouble keeping a single servant girl to help Mary Todd Lincoln.

  • Coastal Adaptation Stategies: Case Studies (Chapter 5)

    Coastal Adaptation Stategies: Case Studies (Chapter 5)

    Case Study 5: Strategic Planning and Responsible Investments for Threatened Historic Structures, Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida Contributing Authors: Dan Kimball (Everglades / Dry Tortugas National Parks, retired), Marcy Rockman (NPS Climate Change Response Program), and Kelly Clark (Dry Tortugas National Park) Goals Sea level rise and increased tropical storm intensity pose a serious risk to the long-term sustainability of historic Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida. The park is trying to mitigate these effects over time through strategic planning, informed decision making, and responsible investments that consider historical integrity and long-term sustainability of the fort and island on which it was built. Historic Fort Jefferson is a six-sided structure built on a landform that is impacted by coastal processes. Image credit: Marcy Rockman, NPS. Challenges and Needs Located 110 km (70 mi) west of Key West, Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, the seven small islands and historic Fort Jefferson of Dry Tortugas National Park sit on the front lines of the climate change discussion and decision-making process within the National Park Service. The most pressing climate change issues that could directly affect the resources and operations of Dry Tortugas National Park are sea level rise and increased tropical storm intensity. These two factors pose a serious risk to long-term sustainability of Fort Jefferson, the main cultural resource and the base of all park operations, as well as the other islands and accompanying natural resources of the park. For more than 165 years, Fort Jefferson on Garden Key has exhibited incredible resilience to storms and the marine environment of the Dry Tortugas.

    FORT STRONG on ARLINGTON HEIGHTS by ANNE C

    FORT STRONG ON ARLINGTON HEIGHTS By ANNE C. WEBB During the Civil War, Fort Strong, or DeKalb as it was first called, was an important part of the system of defenses around Washington, D.C. In all there were 68 forts around Washington, 22 in what is now Arlington County. Some 18,000 men were stationed in Arlington, a community whose normal population at the time was 1,400. 1 The fort was first named for Johann Kalb, a Revolutionary War general known as "Baron deKalb."2 He was born in Germany, but served for many years in the French Army and was sent on a secret mission to the British colo­ nies by the Due de Choiseul in 1768. With the outbreak of the war between Great Britain and its American colonies, he was engaged by Silas Deane as a major-general. His protege, Lafayette, was also engaged to fight for the Americans. General de Kalb died in the Battle of Camden in August 1780. 3 Fort DeKalb was renamed Fort Strong on November 4, 1863,4 after Major­ General George C. Strong, who had died July 30, 1863, of wounds received in an assault on Fort Wagner, Charleston harbor, S.C. General Strong was from Vermont. He had been graduated from West Point in 1857 and was only 30 when he died. 5 With the beginning of hostilities between North and South at Fort Sumter in April of 1861, the capital city of Washington was put in a very difficult position. Virginia would undoubtedly secede, leaving the Federal City facing a hostile shore without any strong natural defenses.

    Out of the Attic

    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic Battery Rodgers Alexandria Times, June 3, 2010 Images: Battery Rodgers. Photos, Andrew J. Russell, Library of Congress. everal installations in the Defenses of Washington, the ring of forts built around Washington, D.C., to protect the federal capital during the Civil War, were located close to and in Alexandria. S Unlike Fort Ellsworth and Fort Ward, which were positioned on higher inland elevations to the west, Battery Rodgers was located along the Potomac River, just south of the existing city limits. Battery Rodgers was named for George W. Rodgers, a U.S. naval captain who was killed in 1863 during an attack on Fort Wagner at Charleston, S.C. Battery Rodgers was strategically positioned on a bluff at Jones Point, on the western side of the Potomac with Fort Foote, located about two miles south on the opposite side in Maryland. In this location, Battery Rodgers was able to guard against Confederate ships on the Potomac and enemy approaches by land to the south. Plans for the water battery, as it was sometimes referred to, included a 185-foot-long main face, five 200-pounder Parrott rifles, one 15-inch Rodman gun, and two magazines. In this 1864 photograph, the door to one of those magazines is visible on the left, as is the Rodman gun. This gun large enough for a person to crawl inside it and at least one man was photographed inside doing so. Additional facilities for this fortification included barracks, a mess hall, prison, hospital and slaughterhouse.

My dear Sir,—^I venture to appeal to your respected name as the best introduction for the little work which I" do myself the honour to dedicate to you. To you, indeed, it owes its existence. You conferred upon me the appointment I have the honour to hold under the Crown in Canada, and that appointment has given life to an idea, long cherished in embryo. The management of the Ordnance Lands in this Province has thrown me upon the scenes of the most notable events of the late war.
