  • Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875)
    Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875) uring the late 18th century and through much of the 19th century, army forts were constructed throughout the United States to defend the growing nation from a variety of threats, both perceived and real. Seventeen of these sites are depicted in a collection painted especially for Dthe U.S. Capitol by Seth Eastman. Born in 1808 in Brunswick, Maine, Eastman found expression for his artistic skills in a military career. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where offi­ cers-in-training were taught basic drawing and drafting techniques, Eastman was posted to forts in Wisconsin and Minnesota before returning to West Point as assistant teacher of drawing. Eastman also established himself as an accomplished landscape painter, and between 1836 and 1840, 17 of his oils were exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City. His election as an honorary member of the academy in 1838 further enhanced his status as an artist. Transferred to posts in Florida, Minnesota, and Texas in the 1840s, Eastman became interested in the Native Americans of these regions and made numerous sketches of the people and their customs. This experience prepared him for his next five years in Washington, D.C., where he was assigned to the commissioner of Indian Affairs and illus­ trated Henry Rowe Schoolcraft’s important six-volume Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States. During this time Eastman also assisted Captain Montgomery C. Meigs, superintendent of the Capitol Brevet Brigadier General Seth Eastman.

  • Underground Railroad Byway Delaware
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 3.0 Intrinsic Resource Assessment The following Intrinsic Resource Assessment chapter outlines the intrinsic resources found along the corridor. The National Scenic Byway Program defines an intrinsic resource as the cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural or scenic qualities or values along a roadway that are necessary for designation as a Scenic Byway. Intrinsic resources are features considered significant, exceptional and distinctive by a community and are recognized and expressed by that community in its comprehensive plan to be of local, regional, statewide or national significance and worthy of preservation and management (60 FR 26759). Nationally significant resources are those that tend to draw travelers or visitors from regions throughout the United States. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #2 An assessment of the intrinsic qualities and their context (the areas surrounding the intrinsic resources). The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway offers travelers a significant amount of Historical and Cultural resources; therefore, this CMP is focused mainly on these resource categories. The additional resource categories are not ignored in this CMP; they are however, not at the same level of significance or concentration along the corridor as the Historical and Cultural resources. The resources represented in the following chapter provide direct relationships to the corridor story and are therefore presented in this chapter. A map of the entire corridor with all of the intrinsic resources displayed can be found on Figure 6. Figures 7 through 10 provide detailed maps of the four (4) corridors segments, with the intrinsic resources highlighted. This Intrinsic Resource Assessment is organized in a manner that presents the Primary (or most significant resources) first, followed by the Secondary resources.

  • Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions The designation of a roadway as a State of Delaware Byway or a National Scenic Byway should not impede the intended purpose of that roadway to safely and efficiently move goods and people. Therefore, as part of this Corridor Management Plan (CMP), it is important to evaluate the current/existing and future conditions of the roadway being designated. Displaying, summarizing and analyzing existing data pertaining to roadway physical characteristics, traffic volumes, levels of service, accident locations and other significant data will assist with and provide awareness of the various operational and physical characteristics that should be considered during designation and implementation of the Scenic Byway. This collection of data also familiarizes the reader of this CMP with the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway roadway characteristics. These characteristics should be considered in corridor planning efforts and future decision-making. In addition, the data serves as a baseline for any future analysis on the impacts of Scenic Byway designation and implementation of projects. 4.1 Roadway Characteristics The corridor generally travels northeast from southern Delaware at the Maryland/Delaware border, picking up where the Maryland Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway terminates, through Dover and Wilmington before heading northwest and terminating at the Delaware/Pennsylvania border. The total length of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway is approximately 98 miles. This Corridor Management Plan (CMP) has divided the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway into four (4) segments to assist with the review and graphical representation of the corridor analysis. The corridor segment maps are shown in Figures 2 through 5.

The Fort played an important role during the Civil War when the facility served as the largest prisoner of war camp in the North. A constant theme in the fort's history, represented by the sea wall, has been the need to exclude the tide from Pea Patch Island and to adequately drain the facilities thereon. Unsanitary conditions of the prisoner of war camp, in part stemming from poor drainage, gave the Fort the reputation of being the Union's counterpart to the infamous Confederate prisoner of war camp at Andersonville. Project Information: The Philadelphia District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposes to undertake a deepening of the Delaware River Main Channel and has determined the project will have an accelerating effect upon erosion taking place on the southeast corner of Pea Patch Island.
