While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

The Alamo is next door. The Alamo—only a small portion survives. It is a place of legend. The siege of the Alamo defines Texas. In 1836 for 13 days a few Texians held an indefensible mission from the most powerful army on the continent, Santa Anna’s Mexican army. The Texi - ans were outnumbered by more than ten to one. The Alamo fell on the morn - ing of March 6, 1836, and the defenders died to the last man. Sam Houston would rouse his troops with “Remember Historical impersonator Tom Jackson (complete with U.S. Krag carbine) the Alamo,” and “Remember Goliad.” On at the Menger Bar recreates what it would have been like to be a bright, sunshiny April afternoon, recruited into the Rough Riders by Theodore Roosevelt.

Random House, $24.95 ISBN 679642730 Conquers on the Mississippi New York Times bestsellers At a time when presidential memoirs and presidential legacies dominate newscasts, talk shows, and what passes for historical analysis on television, it is perhaps fitting that we reflect on how much Americans really don't know about the eighteenth president of the United States, a man who wrote the most impressive autobiography ever penned by a former chief executive and whose own deathwatch and funeral were among the most moving events of the late 19th century. For Ulysses S. Grant has been in the news for the past month, sometimes in ways that typify the profound historical ignorance of precisely those people who claim that they possess some sort of expertise and historical insight into the American past. Take Charles Schumer, New York's senior United States senator, who moved that Ronald Reagan should displace Grant on the fifty dollar bill, because Grant was a butcher as a general and a stumbling ignoramus as president û perhaps next he'll propose bulldozing Grant's Tomb to provide a new stadium for the Yankees.

  • American Queen: the Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal'
    H-War Cirillo on Oller, 'American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal' Review published on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 John Oller. American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal. Philadelphia: Da Capo Press, 2014. 416 pp. $25.99 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-306-82280-3. Reviewed by Frank Cirillo (University of Virginia)Published on H-War (January, 2016) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Over the years, scholars have cast Kate Chase in a number of lights. Chase, the daughter of a prominent politician who became a Washington socialite and a politico in her own right during and after the Civil War, has been portrayed variously as a ruthless political operator, a hopeless romantic, and an empowered progressive. In American Queen, John Oller draws on an impressive array of manuscript sources to offer a well-rounded biography of the enigmatic figure. Oller presents Chase as a “woman ahead of her time”—a “calculating politician” who made her mark as a “behind-the-scenes orchestrator” (pp. xi, 264). At the same time, Oller humanizes his subject as a flawed individual “constrained by the choices she made,” especially regarding the unworthy men to whom she devoted her political talents (pp. 264-265).[1] In a novel contribution to the extant historiography, Oller stresses that “politics was personal” to Chase (p. 171). She put her stock in specific people, rather than in ideologies or policy positions.

  • A House Divided an Intimate Musical of the Lincoln Presidency Book, Music and Lyrics by Michael J. Salmanson Maureen Kane Berg
    A HOUSE DIVIDED AN INTIMATE MUSICAL OF THE LINCOLN PRESIDENCY BOOK, MUSIC AND LYRICS BY MICHAEL J. SALMANSON MAUREEN KANE BERG THOMAS C. BERG ©2016 THE CAST Abraham Lincoln (baritone) mid-50s. A native Kentuckian, failed one-term Congressman, ​ and unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate, his gifted oratory propels him onto the national stage. At the Republican convention of 1860, he outmaneuvers far more well-known and powerful rivals to capture the nomination, and is elected President with only 40% of the popular vote. Mary Lincoln (mezzo soprano) mid 50's. A native southerner from a slaveholding ​ family, her brothers fought for the South; and therefore she was treated largely as an outcast by Washington’s elite. Acutely aware that she married beneath her station, she is an exceptionally fragile and lonely individual, and fiercely loyal to her husband. Having never fully recovered from the death of her second son, Eddie, the subsequent death of Willie leaves her emotionally devastated. Elizabeth Keckley (soprano) A freed black woman, she has the reputation as the finest ​ seamstress in Washington, and is quickly hired by Mary Lincoln. Separated from her husband when he was sold, and from her son, who is serving in the Union army, she and Mrs. Lincoln bond over their family tragedies, and she quickly becomes Mary Lincoln’s closest confidante and friend. Keckley as Character is referred to throughout at “KECKLEY.” Keckley/Narrator As an elderly woman, KECKLEY/NARRATOR reflects back on the events of the Lincoln White House in her unique role as participant, confidante and observer.
