    Actor, Assassin, Patriot, Pawn; What You Think You Know About John Wilkes Booth”

    April 14, 2016 The Civil War: April 12, 1861 - May 9, 1865 “Actor, Assassin, Patriot, Pawn; What you think you know about John Wilkes Booth” It was sad news to hear of Don “Duffy” Forsyth’s pass- ing last month. His gentle smile has been missed the last few months. His efforts in getting the speaker for our last luncheon were important to the success of the event. I was pleased to hear from his wife, Nancy, about how much he enjoyed the time he spent with Old Baldy. We are grateful that the family listed Old Baldy as an organization to which a donation could be made to honor Don. Bob Hanrahan, Jr. told us all about the battle between the Kearsarge and the Alabama last month. This month Joanne Hulme, a Booth descendant, will inform us what we do not know about John Wilkes Booth. Next month our vice-president Bob Russo will share his research on Arlington National Cemetery. Be sure to tell others about Joanne Hulme our great programs and activities. Ticket sales for our Iwo Jima print are going well. Pick up a flyer at the meeting to display in your area. Join us at 7:15 PM on Thursday, April 14th, at Camden Planning for our October Symposium is coming along well. County College in the Connector Building, Room 101. At our meeting on the 14th, we will present opportunities This month’s topic is "Actor, Assassin, Patriot, Pawn; for some members to assist on the project. Some tasks we What you think you know about John Wilkes Booth" have identified so far include contacting local businesses presented by Joanne Hulme.

    Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland, Alexander Gardner

    J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department Exploring Photographs Information and Questions for Teaching Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland, Alexander Gardner Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam, Maryland Alexander Gardner American, Maryland, October 2, 1862 Albumen print 8 5/8 x 7 3/4 in. 84.XM.482.1 Twenty-six thousand soldiers were killed or wounded in the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, after which Confederate General Robert E. Lee was forced to retreat to Virginia. Just two weeks after the victory, President and Commander- in-Chief Abraham Lincoln conferred with General McClernand (at the right) and Allan Pinkerton, Chief of the nascent Secret Service (on the left), who had organized espionage missions behind Confederate lines. Lincoln stands tall, front and center in his stovepipe hat, his erect and commanding posture emphasized by the tent pole that seems to be an extension of his spine. The other men stand slightly apart in deference to their leader. Both McClernand and Pinkerton have a hand tucked inside their coats, a conventional pose in portraiture. The reclining figure of the man at left in the background and the shirt hanging from the tree are a reminder that, although this is a formally posed picture, Lincoln's presence did not halt the camp's activity, and no attempts were made to isolate him from the ordinary circumstances surrounding the continuing military conflict. About the Artist Alexander Gardner (American, 1821–1882) As an idealistic young reporter and newspaper editor in Glasgow, Scotland, Alexander Gardner dreamed of forming a semi-socialistic colony somewhere in what he thought of as the unspoiled wilderness of America.

    History of Civil Rights in the United States: a Bibliography of Resources in the Erwin Library, Wayne Community College

    History of Civil Rights in the United States: A Bibliography of Resources in the Erwin Library, Wayne Community College The History of civil rights in the United States is not limited in any way to the struggle to first abolish slavery and then the iniquitous “Jim Crow” laws which became a second enslavement after the end of the American Civil War in 1865. Yet, since that struggle has been so tragically highlighted with such long turmoil and extremes of violence, it has become, ironically perhaps, the source of the country’s greatest triumph, as well as its greatest shame. The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, who would have sought to guide the reunion of the warring states with a leniency and clear purpose which could possibly have prevented the bitterness that gave rise to the “Jim Crow” aberrations in the Southern communities, seems to have foreshadowed the renewed turmoil after the assassination in 1968 of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had labored so long to awaken the nation non‐violently, but unwaveringly, to its need to reform its laws and attitudes toward the true union of all citizens of the United States, regardless of color. In 2013 the anniversaries are being observed of two eloquent and crucial landmarks in U.S. history, one a document, the other a speech. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, re‐focusing the flagging Union’s purpose on the abolition of slavery as an outcome of the Civil War, is now one hundred and fifty years old. The “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered by Dr.

THE LAST WORD This image, a panel from a cartoon series titled “The Special Train,” was published in Harper’s Weekly on the 9th of March, 1861. It references what was known as “The Baltimore Plot,” showing Abraham Lincoln escaping from would-be assassin(s). The published image includes this caption: “He wore a Scotch plaid Cup and a very long Military Cloak, so that he was entirely unrecognizable.” To some people with Southern sympathies, the worst enemy of all was the President himself. Ever since Lincoln was elected to serve as America's 16th President, he had received letters warning him of assassination plots. The trouble started before he even took the oath of office. Harper’s Weekly (in its March 9, 1861 issue) told Americans of a plan to derail the future president’s train as it traveled to Washington for the inauguration: The Times correspondent says: On Thursday night after he had retired, Mr. Lincoln was aroused and informed that a stranger desired to see him on a matter of life or death. He declined to admit him unless he gave his name, which he at once did. Of such prestige did the name carry that while Mr.
