October 1909 PUBLISHED MONTHLY IN THE INTEREST OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND KINDRED TOPICS October 1909 Entered at the post office at Nashville, Tenn., as second class matter. Contributors are requested to use only one side of the paper, and to abbreviate as much as practicable. These suggestions arc important. Where clippings are sent copy should be kept, as the VETERAN cannot undertake to return them. Advertising rates furnished on application. The date to a subscription is always given to the month before it ends. For instance) if the VETERAN is ordered to begin with January) the date on mail list will be December, and the subscriber is entitled to that number. The civil war was too long ago to he called the late war, and when correspondents use that term "War between the States" will he substituted. The terms "New South" and "lost cause" are objectionable to the VETERAN. OFFICIALLY REPRESENTS: UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY SONS OF VETERANS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CONFEDERATED SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION The VETERAN is approved and indorsed officially by a larger and more elevated patronage, doubtless, than any other publication in existence. Though men deserve, they may not win success, The brave will honor the brave, vanquished none the less. PRICE $1.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS. VOL. XVII. NASHVILLE. TENN , OCTOBER, 1909. S. A. CUMNINGHAM PROPRIETOR. Page 1 of 86 C Confederate Veteran October 1909 MargieV Glover Daniels VISIT OF GEN. FRED GRANT AND COL. GOETHELS Among many incidents in which it seemed desirable to show partiality for the editor of the VETERAN after his severe illness the President of the great Tennessee State Fair Association, Mr. Robert L. Burch, selected him as one of a committee to meet Gen. Fred Grant and Col. George W. Goethels upon their arrival in Nashville and attend them to the Hermitage and to the Confederate Soldiers home. Upon being introduced to Colonel Goethels that gentleman spoke of a young engineer of Nashville by the same name whom he had slated to take to the Canal Zone, and he seemed pleased to have met the father of one who was so highly capable and a general favorite in the profession Paul D. Cunningham. Colonel Goethels succeeded several others who were given charge of the great Panama Canal and failed in quick succession. He was assigned to the work in March, 1907, from which time the enterprise was at once successful, and it is now the most prodigious undertaking of man. He has at work 34.680 men without friction, and he has improved sanitary conditions in the Panama region marvelously. The trip to the Hermitage, twelve miles from Nashville, over a splendid turnpike in automobiles was made in little more than half an hour. Mr. Leland Hume, one of the most active and progressive men of Tennessee, had for his guests in a superb car Gen. Fred Grant, Gen. G. P. Thruston, and the editor of the VETERAN. Better conditions could not have existed for the journey. Gen. Fred Grant, now a major general of the United States army, and who will become second in rank during this month, is a fine man. He is evidently very much like his father in simple, rugged honesty, and is net in the least egotistic. He was greatly pleased with the visit, as he found much more preserved about the Hermitage than he expected and an elegance in the home that showed true aristocracy in Jackson's day. At the Soldiers' Home there was a most cordial greeting, and in a public talk to the unfortunate veterans, who are under the necessity of accepting State support, he showed his appreciation of what they were in the sixties. Returning to the city, the party was met by Secretary of War Judge Dickinson at Greenwood Park, where the negroes were having their annual fair. J. C. Napier, President of the Fair, and other officials were in readiness to extend every courtesy. After viewing the handiwork of the negroes and their beautiful stock, there was a meeting in the pavilion and speeches were made by Judge Dickinson and General Grant. They were remarkable talks. Judge Dickinson spoke to them as a Southerner and a Confederate, giving them practical advice. He told them that if they wanted to succeed in life they must be industrious and diligently economical in saving their earnings. He referred to their freedom and how it came about, declaring that the war was not waged for their freedom, but that it was simply an incident of the war. He told them that the one time General Lee left the army during the war was to go to his home and formally give freedom to his slaves. General Grant in his address spoke kindly to them and of his pleasure in seeing their prosperity. He had known their race all of his life. His family owned slaves until they were freed by Lincoln's proclamation, and he said that after the war their old servants maintained an interest in the family, and in all the intervening years they had not failed to make known their needs, which had been heeded. It was a remarkable record that in the latter years of the war Lee fought on with no interest in slavery, while Grant held his until freed by the "exigencies of war." From the negro Fair the distinguished guests were taken to the Tennessee State Fair. It was U. D. C. Day, and they were entertained with a luncheon upon arrival. While General Grant was at the Hermitage Judge Dickinson made an address to the Daughters, which will appear in the November VETERAN. After delicious refreshments, the guests were conducted to Page 2 of 86 C Confederate Veteran October 1909 MargieV Glover Daniels the speakers' stand, around which gathered the Confederates to hear a brief address from General Grant. He manifested there, as everywhere he meets them, his high esteem for the Confederate soldiers. In private conversations he talked enthusiastically of the reception given him at the Memphis Reunion, and admitted that it gave zest to his feelings in his address and tribute to Gen. Stephen D. Lee at the dedication of the bronze statue in Government Park, Vicksburg, the next day. In a written address at the Fair on the last day of his visit General Grant, after complimenting his chief, the Secretary of War, the officials of Tennessee, and the State Fair for the many cordial courtesies extended to him, said: "I am specially touched that you welcome me thus warmly, as I realize this courtesy is not so much for me personally as because of the fact that I am the son of one who you know cherished during his life a friendship for your people with a hope for that peace and harmony which now happily prevails throughout our beloved land. I personally know that the people of Tennessee realized fully the wish which my father. General Grant, had for peace between the North and South, for I was here with him at his headquarters early in 1864, when as commander of the Union forces he used always his best efforts conscientiously to reduce in every possible way the sufferings necessarily resulting from that unfortunate civil strife then existing. General Grant spoke more at length of evidence of esteem for his father by demonstrations in his honor in the fall of 1863 in Memphis and in Eastern Tennessee during the same year, and again in Memphis after his great tour around the world. The tributes to his father in 1863 were not from those who honor him now. As President General Grant disappointed the South greatly in permitting the domination of reconstruction influences. It was evidently against his will, for it was believed, as in the case of General Lee's surrender, he would exercise not only his influence but his power to have justice done the South. With him, however, as it was with others, the domination of ultra radicalism was without hindrance. If General Grant had had half the independence shown by Roosevelt, without commending the use to which the latter exercised it, the Southern people would have come to their own much sooner than they did. Gen. Fred Grant is correct in his estimate of how the South appreciates that his father, Gen. U. S. Grant, did nothing of small nature for which the South complains, but if he had been great and bold for conciliation and had assumed the responsibility of preventing exchange of prisoners, it would have been greatly to his honor. He well knew that the Confederate authorities could not possibly care for Union prisoners as they deserved. It was an oversight not to interview Gen. Fred Grant on this point, as he is free and candid. Indulgence will be granted for omissions and errors during the last and present month. The sketch of Mr. Leslie Warner that appeared in the "Last Roll" of the September issue seemed out of place without the intended introduction. Thirty years ago Bill Arp was in Nashville, the guest of the editor of the VETERAN, and Leslie Warner cooperated in his entertainment so delightfully that the closest intimacy was ever maintained with him, and yet he had been so neglected that it was resolved to pay tribute to his memory. The evening that he returned from several months' absence in search of health the delightful home was opened with light in every window, and was a joyous sight, yet he died that night.

    Maryland’s Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory by Ralph E. Eshelman and Carl W. Scheffel, Jr. “So long as the tides shall ebb and flow in Choptank River.” From Philemon Downes will, Hillsboro, circa 1796 U.S. Geological Survey Quadrangle 7.5 Minute Topographic maps covering the Lower Choptank River (below Caroline County) include: Cambridge (1988), Church Creek (1982), East New Market (1988), Oxford (1988), Preston (1988), Sharp Island (1974R), Tilghman (1988), and Trappe (1988). Introduction The Choptank River is Maryland’s longest river of the Eastern Shore. The Choptank River was ranked as one of four Category One rivers (rivers and related corridors which possess a composite resource value with greater than State signific ance) by the Maryland Rivers Study Wild and Scenic Rivers Program in 1985. It has been stated that “no river in the Chesapeake region has done more to shape the character and society of the Eastern Shore than the Choptank.” It has been called “the noblest watercourse on the Eastern Shore.” Name origin: “Chaptanck” is probably a composition of Algonquian words meaning “it flows back strongly,” referring to the river’s tidal changes1 Geological Change and Flooded Valleys The Choptank River is the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern shore and is therefore part of the largest estuary in North America. This Bay and all its tributaries were once non-tidal fresh water rivers and streams during the last ice age (15,000 years ago) when sea level was over 300 feet below present. As climate warmed and glaciers melted northward sea level rose, and the Choptank valley and Susquehanna valley became flooded.

Being among the very first to be planted here, becoming deeply rooted in our soil, and never spreading widely beyond our borders, it may, if any of European race can, be called autochthonous. Its possessory interests whether in land or slaves, those forms of property which here, until of late, great wealth assumed, have always been the largest within our limits, and its personal influence has not been incommensurate with its affluence.
