INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. Itmay be asked why Ihave undertaken the publication" of a book. Ihave no ambition to place myself among" the literati "of the world,ifIcould do so. Itis not for "fame" that lam writing, for" Icannot boast of using the pen of a Felicia Hemans" or a Hannah More," nor do Ifeel important enough to endeavor to associate myself withothers who may even enjoy more celebrity than the two" beautiful writers" Ihave named. Myheart is yearn­ ing for a resting place inmy declining life, and ifIcan secure itby the use ofmy pen, why not ? To possess again a quiet home of my own, will,indeed, mend the broken threads of life and weave them afresh, into a tissue of brightness, withthe stars for my night-lamp" and the leaves of the woodland to fan me to sleep. Itmay be a tent in the wild-wood, a home in the vale," so that Ican call it" mine own, where gentle, kindwords will greet me and Imay deck my hair withroses rare that grow on the gentle hills,"in the region of wildflowers, where healthful breezes blow, and the gaudy butterflies lightgently on the edge of a coolrivulet that may happen to flow along, and the violet peer out from beneath the moist turfon its edge. Ah!yes — "There's music inthe wild-wood. With leaves and blossoms fair." — The pretty pink laurel the modest little wax flowers have a charm for me.' "Inthe' beautiful valleys that nature has formed there are a thousand hidden retreats fortender sighs, an asylum for a broken heart, a grave-yard for buried pleasures." Ithas now been three years— since one of the greatest afflic­ tions of my lifecame upon me the loss of a beautiful old home,— a lovely, tranquil spot, the walls bare and mildewed now the capacious old fireplaces, where once cheerful, sparkling flames brightened the rooms and inmates, filledwith crumbling bricks XII INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. and ashes. Ah,me !the thought of its loss brings an irrepressible pang to my sorrowing heart. Icannot stillits beating. " No friend" came" around me to cheer me, No parent to soften my grief, Nor brother, nor sister were near me. And strangers could bring no relief." — — Alas!ithas gone my beautiful, happy horne where Ihave lived "so long," tending my little flock of eleven, caring for their every want, and devoting my lifeto their service. My dear old home was a generous gift from a noble grand­ father, who so often took me on his knee, to imprint a good-night kiss upon my youthful forehead, "before retiring to a restful pillow he had ordered his housemaid, Emmeline," to prepare forme in the littlecrib,in the best chamber of his comfortable home. My sister and Iwere orphan children, and my grandfather often" and over again told us that the old home was to be ours. Bloom­ field," which he named himself, was the pride of his life,next to his" granddaughters." He must have loved me. Idid not know it then Now Iremember, he gave me more caresses" than he bestowed upon my sister, and— called me tenderly his we bonnie Mary ofArgyle." That was " When friends and fortune smiled, But, ah !how fortune varies ; Inow am sorrow's child." '' Mycup ofhappiness has been drained, Iteas forever. There are some strokes of calamity that scorch and' scathe' the soul, that penetrate the vitalseat ofhappiness and blast it." Truly, there are few greater" trialsthan tolose alife-long home. Ihad troubles; have often sunk beneath the summer sun and trembled in the blast," but it was my home and my children's home, the air so cool and grateful. Lovely flowers scattered their odor around, and Icannot put aside the clinging love for the sweetest, holiest spot on earth. There are times when Iimagine lam back again in my quiet, comfortable apartment, where, insummer, the grate­ fulsouth-wind fanned me to sleep, and the wide-awake owl," perch­ ing in the old cherry tree, near my window, kept watch allnight long." Atearly morn, the cheering sound fromthe luxuriant maple tree that shaded the back portico, with"note as clear as a crystal INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. XIII brook and fullof cheer, was the song of the red-breasted robin. "And memory lingers in heart and brain, making me often a childagain."" ' ' There was never a harsh or mournful note That came afresh from that warbler's throat He taught me a lesson of 'hope' and 'cheer' That carried me on from year to year, To 'sing' in the shadow, as wellas the" sun, Doing my part 'tillmy work is done Yes ;the flowers, the musical notes of the happy birds com­ forted me in my sorrow. How often have Isung the old song that will"— never, never lose its pathos— ''There's No Place Like Home littledreaming that Iwould ever" oe without" one. Oh ! what" a relief to my overburdened heart now to sit at my old Checkering" piano and sing the touching lines over and over again. Could Ibut dwell at my dear oldhome and look out ofthe window and view the holy spot which contains the ashes ofthose Iloved1and respected —my dear old grandfather, my own father and mother, brother, sister and three of my children—those of the littlenock Ifancied loved me most and whoare now chanting sweet music "inheaven !!! Icall them dead, but well Iknow They dwell where living waters flow." " Sad," truly sad, is the reflection that the old family grave­ yard is all that Ican now call mine own, where Ihave planted lilac, mock orange, narcissus, monthly damask roses and other favorite flowers of my dear grandfather, and have tended them for his sake. There let me sleep withthe dear ones, where once "my careless childhood strayed." Yes ;in this quiet, shady spot let me rest, where Ihave kept out weeds and briars and enjoyed the blooming of the sweet-scented shrubbery so long. "Then when life's journey is ended. And earth again mingles withearth, Lamented or not, still my wish is To rest in the land of my birth." "Bloomfield" is yet the dearest spot on earth to me, where the birds sing more joyously than anywhere else, the old-time flowers grow in luxuriance, beauty and retirement, and the healthful breezes blow through every casement, bringing along XIV INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. with them exhilarating draughts of pleasure and" refinement." I seem now to" inhale the delicious" perfume of the cup roses that decked the old-fashioned" garden, where" Ihave, summer after summer, withmy trusting littleones around me, rested in the latticed summer-house, shaded by two large, fruit-yieldingpear trees and a trailing Microfilla rosebush. And the flickering moonlight shadows —can Iever forget them ? And the silvered jasmine flowers, creeping up the broad piazza, outvying the stars above them inbeauty and numbers, whose sweetness was wafted throughout the wholehouse at evening time, their balmy breath inducing sweet, refreshing slumber to the drooping eyelids.

    (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit

    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.

    Challenging the U.S. Nuclear Tests:The Golden Rule Sails Again

    Challenging the U.S. Nuclear Tests:The Golden Rule Sails Again Ann Wright Veterans for Peace Honolulu, Hawaii 96821 USA Email: [email protected] Abstract In January 1958, Andrew Bigelow and three other anti-nuclear activists attempted to sail the 30 foot ketch, The Golden Rule, from California into the U.S. nuclear testing zone in the Marshall Islands to try to stop nuclear testing. While on a stopover in Honolulu, a U.S. federal court issued an injunction barring the voyage of the Golden Rule into the nuclear test sites. Despite the injunction, the four crew members attempted to sail twice and were arrested by U.S. federal law enforcement officials, tried, convicted and given sixty-day sentences and imprisoned. 55 years later, The Golden Rule, was found in a small shipyard in Eureka, California and her historical significance recognized. The boat had suffered the ravages of time and was in terrible shape. She is being carefully renovated by members of Veterans for Peace who intend to sail the boat on the West Coast as an educational vessel that personifies opposition to militarism and the use of nuclear weapons. Using documents from the Quaker House in Honolulu, the saga of The Golden Rule is a part of the rich history of maritime Hawaii. Keywords: Pacific Nuclear Testing, Protest Ships, Marshall Islands, AEC, Greenpeace Introduction In 2010, Larry Zerlangs, the owner of a boatyard in Eureka, Northern California, hauled out of a nearby bay a 30 foot double-masted Alpha 30 sailboat that had broken loose of her moorings and sunk during a big storm.
