Horace Binney Sargent of Boston, "The Father of the Soldiers' Home," to [' whom more than to any other one we are indebted for our Home, began in 1875 by rousing the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and they caused the Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R., to take up the work with vigor. The public nobly responded and contributed freely their sympathy and money. Members of the G. A. R. and associates were incorporated in 1877, worked hard, opened the Home July 25, 1882, with the General as President, and, although in California, he continued a Trustee until his death, January 8, 1908 (Annual Reports, 1883, President, page 4; 1901, President, page 5; 1903, Secretary, pages 1, 7, 8; 1908, President, pages 1, 4, 5). The fourth Thursday of September is the annual meeting - the first day of the corporate year; and July 1 is the first day of the financial year, but it was July 25 up to 1892, when it was changed to conform to the year of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. The Trustees were eighteen in number when incorporated by chapter 218, Acts of 1877, and were increased to twenty-one by chapter 282, Acts of 1889. The Gov­ ernor fills all vacancies in the three Governor's appointments, and the Commander of the Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R., is ex officio, a trustee . All other vacancies are filled by the remaining Trustees; but there must always be fifteen members of the Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R., one member of the Depart­ ment of Massachusetts, Spanish War Veterans, and one member of the Division of Massachusetts, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A. Seven Trustees constitute a quorum for doing business. CHARTER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE ORIGINAL OFFICERS President Gen. HORACE BINNEY SARGENT V ice-President Capt. JOHN G. B.

An Abstract of “The Sinews of Memory:” The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940 by Steven A. Bare Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo December 2018 “The Sinews of Memory:’ The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940,” explores the creation of historical memory of the American Civil War and, its byproduct, reconciliation. Stakeholders in the historical memory formation of the war and reconciliation were varied and many. “The Sinews of Memory” argues reconciliation blossomed from the 1880s well into the twentieth-century due to myriad of historical forces in the United States starting with the end of the war leading up to World War II. The crafters of the war’s memory and reconciliation – veterans, women’s groups, public history institutions, governmental agents, and civic boosters – arrived at a collective memory of the war predicated on notions of race, manliness, nationalism, and patriotism.

This section is published at this time to meet the wishes of many who desire to have it in a more permanent form. CAPE ANN . Cape Ann ! with rock-bound, ocean-girded strand, Breathing arbutus and magnolia perfume free-­ From fields made sweet with odors of the sea­ Wafting the scent of roses from the land. Home of the hardy fisher, worn and tanned- The honey-pink and sweet-brier here we see, Hiding 'neath mossy rock or shadowy tree, And here the laurel. With soft breezes fanned. Out from the harbor bird-like schooners go. 'Twixt Ten-Pound Isle and busy Rocky Neck, Off to the Banks where deep tides restless flow; And home they come, their great fares 'neath the deck; Or else on Brace's Rock or Norman's Woe, Storm-driven, the seaman faces death, or wreck. Rich in romance the story of her years­ Of Conant and the Planters from afar : Their toils and sorrows, of the famous "Jarre" The "Peace of Salem," bringing joy for fears. And then the spectre garrison appears ; Peg Wesson sails her broom-stick aero-car, Grim revolution calls the fisher-tar And distant seas behold the privateers.

THE JUDITH SARGENT HOUSE FOREWORD The Board of Managers, at a meeting in 1940, decided that there were several reasons for gathering into accessible form the records of the organization and of the acquisitions of the Judith Sargent House, together with an occasional illustration of the House itself. The Board felt that, as a modest booklet, such a record might be acceptable and useful to the Convention of the Universalist Church to be held in Gloucester in 1941.

What, though some frailties dimmed thy buoyant youth,­ Through a like ordeal Saints of old have passed ; Yet, when they heard the still small voice of Truth,. How pure and holy were their lives at last! Bright was the robe thy manhood bravely wore, To temperance, virtue, classic culture given ; Till the rich fruit, "MY MOTHER'S GOLD RING" bore, To many an outcast oped the gates of Heaven, The sunset lingering gilds the Scholar's shrine, And wakes a thousand memories in the breast.

FORD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED B V. / TO MARY OGDEN ADAMS Possum donata reporwre laetus. HOR. INTRODUCTORY NOTE The series of letters printed in these volumes, in- dividual in themselves, make an almost unique com- bination. The time of writing, the crisis through which not only the nation but republican institu- tions were passing, the inheritance and position of the writers, and the personal characteristics of each as shown in the letters and as developed in later days, unite to give interest to the subjects treated and the manner of presentation. They are family letters, writ- ten in all the freedom of family intercourse, selected from what would fill many volumes; they are much more than family letters, for the description of social conditions, the discussion of public questions, and the wide relations held by the writers, make them a con- tribution to the social, military and diplomatic his- tory of the War of Secession, unequalled in scope and concentrated interest. For nearly a century the Adams family of Massa- chusetts had filled high public oflBce, a succession of students of government, of able administrators, whose independence and upright character commanded rec- ognition. The third generation had as its represent- ative Charles Francis Adams, the favored son of John Quincy Adams.
