Collection of Jack Latrobe Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820) is generally acknowledged as America's first professional architect and engineer. During the quarter-century between his immigration from England in 1796 and his untimely death from yellow fever in New Orleans in 1820, he executed some of the most influential commissions in the nation's history, such as the Virginia State Penitentiary in Richmond, the Philadelphia Waterworks and the Bank of Pennsylvania in that city, the Baltimore Roman Catholic Cathedral, and St. John's Church and the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Less well known than his professional progeny is the legacy he left in pictures. Latrobe was a gifted artist, and as he traveled around his adopted land he sketched virtually every facet of the American scene: landscapes; town views; natural history subjects; architectural subjects such as mansions, churches, and taverns; technological subjects such as mills, bridges, quarries, and factories; and genre scenes or views of everyday life, depicting dress and diversions. In short, almost nothing escaped Latrobe's keen eye. Aside from the sheer beauty of his watercolors, Latrobe's sketchbooks have an even greater claim on our attention, for they are without parallel as graphic depictions of the early Republic. Published travelers' accounts from the period are legion, but there is no comparable collection of drawings by a trained artist that truly shows what America looked like then. Latrobe's sketchbooks are indeed invaluable historical documents. For the past fifteen years, the Maryland Historical Society has been sponsoring the documentary editing project of The Papers of Benjamin Henry Latrobe. To date the project has produced a complete microfiche edition of all known Latrobe documents— letters, journals, sketches, architectural and engineering drawings, etc.—and has published six of what will be a nine-volume selected printed edition. The most recently published volume is the highlight of the series—Latrobe's View of America, 1795-1820: Selections from the Watercolors and Sketches. The book reproduces 160 of Latrobe's beautiful drawings, forty of them in color. On the cover of this issue is just one of the many Maryland scenes—"View from the Packet Wharf at French town." Frenchtown, like so many other small towns in America, existed as a link in a transportation network. It survived as long as the route of which it formed a part facilitated the movement of travelers and freight, and it died when that route was abandoned. For many years, Frenchtown was an important transfer point on the packet route between Philadelphia and Baltimore. The traveler starting from Philadelphia would sail south along the Delaware River to New Castle, Delaware. From there, he would journey west by stage across the Delmarva Peninsula to Frenchtown at the head of Elk River two miles south of Elkton. At Frenchtown, he would board a packet boat and sail south down the Elk River to the Chesapeake Bay, and then head further southward along the bay to Baltimore. The site of Frenchtown was first settled by Swedes before 1700. In 1755, French Acadians expelled from Nova Scotia migrated to this area and named their new village la ville Franqaise. Latrobe became well acquainted with Frenchtown when he surveyed the area in planning for the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. In making this drawing, Latrobe looked southeastward in order to sketch the landscape stretching down the Elk River. Pate's Creek, now called Perch Creek, flows in from the left. In the distance is the upper part of Back Creek Neck. In the foreground, Latrobe animated the scene with three figures clustered about a cabin, several barrels, and a hanging fishing net.

    Attachment 1 R17-235 BACKGROUND REPORT The Board has identified the completion of a trail to connect Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont with the George Washington boyhood home at Ferry Farm as a priority. When completed, the Belmont-Ferry Farm Trail (Trail) will connect not only these historical assets, but also allow pedestrian and bicycle access to multiple parks, Chatham Manor, Massad Family YMCA, and the City of Fredericksburg. Four of the six segments of the Trail are now complete (Phases 1, 2, 3 & 5), with Phase 4 nearing the construction stage. Phase 4 will connect at the current Trail terminus in the John Lee Pratt Park, crossing River Road, and then extending to the Chatham Bridge. The total length of Phase 4 is approximately 2,650 feet long, with 1,600 feet planned for construction on the federally owned Chatham Manor. Chatham Manor is included within the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, one of the parks administered by the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS has determined that a Partner Design, Construction and Operation & Maintenance Agreement (Agreement), included as Attachment 3, is the appropriate document to allow the County to proceed with construction and operation of Phase 4 of the Trail on NPS property. The Agreement between the County and the NPS describes in detail the alignment, construction methods, cost, funding, and appearance of the Trail on NPS property, and identifies the responsibilities of the parties to the Agreement. Furthermore, the Agreement specifies that the County will be responsible for design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Trail on NPS property, although the section of the Trail on NPS property will be owned by the NPS.

Issued May 8, 1909. ii ADVERTISEMENT. The scientific publications of the National Museum consist of two series—the Bulletin and the Proceedings. The Bulletin, publication of which was begun in 1875, is a series of more or less extensive works intended to illustrate the collections of the U. S. National Museum and, with the exception noted below, is issued separately. These bulletins are monographic in scope and are devoted principally to the discussion of large zoological and botanical groups, faunas and floras, bibliographies of eminent natural- ists, reports of expeditions, etc. They are usually of octavo size, although a quarto form, known as the Special Bulletin, has been adopted in a few instances in which a larger page was deemed indis- pensable. This work forms No. 64 of the Bulletin series. Since 1902 the volumes of the series known as "Contributions from the National Herbarium," and containing papers relating to the botan- ical collections of the Museum, have been published as bulletins. The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1S7S, are intended as a medium of publication of brief original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, and setting forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology derived there- from, or containing descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups.

  • The Politician Truth Will Ultimately Prevail Where There Is Pains Taken to Bring It to Light
    The Politician Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. —George Washington Obvious pressures to smother and ignore The Politician since its official publication are unmatched in the history of the American book world. Now that this explosive volume is available to anyone who will read and judge for himself, the hundreds of periodicals which were quoting and misquoting from it regularly for two years have failed to give it a review or a mention of any nature. There have been many case histories showing the influence exerted on the seven thousand regular bookstores in the United States which has resulted in a virtual boycott of the book—even by those stores that wanted to offer it for sale. In spite of these problems, the sale of forty thousand copies in the first six months after publication and the continuing strong sale have been encouraging. The truth, so fully documented, is not easy to keep buried, even by all of the powerful influences that are so determined to hide it.

  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXXVI MARCH,1940 NUMBER1 David Dale Owen and Indiana’s First Geological Survey WALTERB. HENDRICKSON In the eighteen-thirties, Indiana, as well as other western states, was feeling growing pains. The elevation of Andrew Jackson to the presidency had made Westerners feel that their importance to the nation was at last recog- nized. A combination of circumstances had caused a business boom that was quickening the economic life of all the western states. By 1834, new settlers by the tens of thousands were pouring into the regions of the Mississippi Valley, creating farms and building towns. The people of the West could see a glorious future; the people were coming, the land was rich, and other natural resources were at hand. All that was needed was time and money to realize on what were con- sidered the essential elements of all great and prosperous states. The decade of the eighteen-thirties was one of great and enthusiastic promotion of farming, mining and transporb tion facilities. In order that a state might take its place in the sun, the first move to be made was the creation of ade- quate systems of communication to bridge the gap between producer and consumer-getting the products of western farms to eastern markets. Accordingly, state legislatures appropriated large sums of money for the building of canals and roads, and, with great energy, ditches were dug, forests were cut down, and streams were dredged in order to make new highways of commerce. Along with this great internal improvement movement, and in some ways contradictory to it, was a movement in the western states to develop their omresources, so that they would be independent of the East for mineral products.

Typically, the physician-patient relationship inherent within the practice of medicine, has been rooted in the partnership between individuals. However, under the Third Reich, this covenant between a physician and patient was displaced by a public health agenda that was grounded in the scientific theory of eugenics and which served the needs of a polarized political system that relied on this hypothesis to justify society’s racial hygiene laws. As part of the National Socialist propaganda, Adolf Hitler ominously argued that the cultural decline of Germany after World War I could largely be based on interbreeding and a “resultant drop in the racial level.” This foundational premise defined those who could be ostracized, labeled and persecuted by society, including those who were assimilated. The indoctrination and implementation of this distorted social policy required the early and sustained cooperation and leadership of the medical profession. Because National Socialism promised it could restore Germany’s power, honor and dignity, physicians embraced their special role in the repair of the state.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
