    SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR Lt. Commander Edward Lea U.S.N. – Camp Number 2 Harriet Lane *************************************************************************************** Summer 2007 Volume 14 Number 2 ************************************************************************************** From the Commander’s Tent Here we go again. Its summer with all the bustle and activity associated with the season. School is out, everyone’s looking forward to their vacations and the pace of life in some ways is even more frantic than during the other seasons of the year. The Camp just completed one of its most important evolutions - Memorial Day. We had nine Brothers at the National Cemetery, with eight in period uniform. I think this is the best uniformed turnout we’ve ever had, at least in my memory. We are also in the process of forming a unit of the Sons of Veteran’s Reserve. We have ten prospective members from our Camp. Brother Dave LaBrot is the prospective commanding officer. All we are waiting for is for the James J. Byrne Camp #1 to send down their seven applications so the paperwork can be turned in. We should then soon have the unit up and running. I hope that even more Brothers will join as we get rolling. I have been watching with great interest the way the level of awareness of and the desire to learn about the Civil War in particular, and the 1860’s in general, has been growing throughout the nation during the last few years. In part this may be because we are coming up upon another milestone period (the 150th anniversary). But also I think more people are realizing the importance of the events of that era and the extent that we are still being affected by them today.

  • The Role of Family Portraiture at the Carlyle
    Carlyle House February 2008 D OCENT D ISPATCH Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority Status Preserved and Defined: The Role of Family Portraiture at the Carlyle House by Philippe Halbert Among the most tangible links to the eighteenth century in the Carlyle House collection today are the “3 family pictures” listed between a collection of looking glasses and prints on John Carlyle’s 1780 inventory. Although they were never guests of their American family in Alexandria, William, Rachel, and George Carlyle nonetheless play an important role in our understanding of the life of John Carlyle. In addition to simply providing “faces” to go with the names, their portraits also serve to illustrate the role of family portraiture among the provincial elite. As can be imagined, the ordinary Virginian of the colonial period could not afford to commission a portrait. The collection of three displayed in his fine Mr. and Mrs. Atherton by Arthur Devis, oil on canvas, ca. 1743 high Georgian-Palladian home, in addition to his painted in the colonies and sent to Great Britain, whitewashing interior spaces. Because of their demonstrate Carlyle’s aspirations towards gentility “illuminating” work, they were often referred to and a means by which he meant to convey his status as limners. Although they did not usually sign in the New World as well as the Old. their work, many examples of the limner’s trade survive, such as a series of portraits of the émigré The tradition of portrait-painting in the Huguenot Jacquelin-Ambler family of Jamestown American colonies had its origins in British practice painted ca.

HENLEY SMITH EDITED BY GAILLARD HUNT ILLUSTRATED LC CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS NEW YORK:::::: 1906 Copy 3 F194 .S65 Copy 3 COPYRIGHT, 1906, BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published November, 1906.

Henley Smith http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbcb.40262 Library of Congress 104116 07 LC PREFATORY NOTE During the first forty years of its existence the city of Washington had a society, more definite and real than it has come to have in later days. The permanent residents, although appurtenant to the changing official element, nevertheless furnished the framework which the larger and more important social life used to build upon, and the result was a structure of society tolerably compact and pleasing and certainly interesting. It was emphatically official, but it did not include the lower class officials, who found their recreation for the most part at the street resorts, and its tone was dignified and wholesome.

  • Jwilburdiary
    Julia Wilbur: Part 2 The Civil War Years in Alexandria and Washington, DC (October 1862-1865) Diaries Transcribed and Annotated by Paula T. Whitacre For Alexandria Archaeology The diaries of Julia Wilbur are part of the Quaker & Special Collections at Haverford College Library, Collection No. 1158. The photo used on the cover is part of the collection. I undertook this project for the Alexandria Archaeology Museum and Friends of Alexandria Archaeology. The Archaeology staff have been very helpful as they see the value in having these pages in one place, transcribed and searchable. I thank the Haverford Library and especially Diana Peterson and Ann Upton for helping me access the originals of the diaries, and the librarians in the Alexandria Library Local History Room for their assistance in helping me access microfilmed copies. Anna Lynch, volunteer, Alexandria Archaeology, provided a second read for most of the entries, helping to decipher some of the penmanship and editing my transcription. Jill Grinsted, another Alexandria Archaeology volunteer, transcribed November-December 1865 and proofread the whole. Laura Bonomini, Laura Hellwig, and Skyler Padia, students in Dr. Pamela Cressey’s Historical Archaeology course at George Washington University in Spring 2013, transcribed November 1864 through October 1865. Pam was the City Archaeologist who first suggested I take on this project and had helpful information throughout. The uncertainties that persist are represented with a question mark within brackets—[?]. Further comments from the transcriber are italicized. Wilbur often used an abbreviation for the word “and” that is someplace between a “&” and a “&” that we have transcribed with “&”. Also, she used this symbol, combined with “c” that we have transcribed as “&c.” based on its context.
