  • George Meade Found Fame As Both Warrior and Engineer by Duane Schultz
    ‘Old Snapping Turtle’ Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade, shown here in a postwar photograph, had a hot temper, feared failure, complained incessantly about being passed over for command, and rose to the challenge at Gettysburg. two roads taken george meade found fame as Both Warrior and Engineer By Duane Schultz “What a waste of time and energy,” George Meade wrote to his wife on December 18, 1845, as he approached his 30th birthday. Describing his feelings about his 10 years in the U.S. Army since graduating from West Point, Meade was convinced he was a failure and added, “I tremble sometimes when I think of what I might have been, and remember what I am, when I reflect on what I might have accomplished.” A few days later, Meade received a letter from his mother that confirmed his feelings of remorse and failure. “Although in my ignorance, I was cruel enough to send you to West Point, an act for which I shall never forgive myself, and never cease to regret, I did not dream that you would enter the army, my dear George.” But it was too late for regrets. As far as Meade was concerned, his life was already ruined. 2 AMERICA’S CIVIL WAR MAY 2017 3 First Taste of Battle In letters to his wife, Margaretta, during the Mexican War, Meade initially expressed dislike for field duty, but wrote he was proud of how his unit performed under artillery fire. George, the family’s eighth child of 11, was born in Cadiz, Spain, where his father, Richard Worsam Meade, had been George Gordon established as a trader, ship owner and agent for the U.S.

  • Uncle Sam Visits Lighthouse Park Uncle Sam, Looking Remarkably Like SGLA Presi- Dent Jim Kemp, Paid a Visit to St
    www.stgeorgelight.org Summer 2016 Uncle Sam Visits Lighthouse Park Uncle Sam, looking remarkably like SGLA Presi- dent Jim Kemp, paid a visit to St. George Island to participate in the annual Independence Day pa- rade on July 4. He greeted visitors in Lighthouse Park, and spent some time manning the Commu- nity Patrol car to help direct traffic during the parade. Welcome, Uncle Sam – and Happy Birthday America! A Tribute to Lou Kellenberger The Cape St. George Light lost a dear friend and benefactor with the passing of Lou Kellenberger on June 28. Lou and his wife Betsy were long-time members of the St. George Lighthouse Association, and avid supporters of our efforts to preserve the Cape St. George Light. As a professional photographer, Lou often visited the is- land to shoot new images of the lighthouse, and never hesitated to make his beautiful photos available for our promotional use. On two separate occasions, his award-winning photos of the Cape St. George Light have appeared on the cover of Lighthouse Digest, the national magazine that supports and reports on the activities of the world's lighthous- es. Lou and Betsy supported many of the area's lighthouses with their photography. As members of the St. Marks Refuge Association, they were active in the efforts to restore the St. Marks Lighthouse. When the Cape San Blas lighthouse was moved to Port St. Joe in July of 2014, Lou and his camera were there in the rain to document the historic event. While we knew Lou well as an accomplished lighthouse and nature photographer, only in his passing did we learn more about our dear friend.
