    All Rights Reserved, 2011, Paul L. Hedren [updated 9-19-11] WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Burial places of officers, physicians, and other military notables of the Great Sioux War compiled by Paul L. Hedren Introduction The names in this “Where Are They Now?” compilation are drawn from Great Sioux War Orders of Battle: How the United States Army Waged War on the Northern Plains, 1876-1877 (Norman, Okla.: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2011), which acknowledges in context every officer and physician engaged in this Indian war. The intent here is to identify the dates of death and burial places of these individuals. The ranks and affiliations given are timely to the war, not to later service. The dates of death and burial places provided are largely drawn from the sources noted at the end. Details that are probable but unconfirmed are noted within parentheses.

  • The First Design for Fairmount Park
    The First Design for Fairmount Park AIRMOUNT PARK IN PHILADELPHIA is one of the great urban parks of America, its importance in landscape history exceeded only by FNew York’s Central Park. Its name derives from the “Faire Mount” shown on William Penn’s plan of 1682, where the Philadelphia Museum of Art now perches, and where the gridded Quaker city suddenly gives way to an undulating scenery of river and park. Measuring over 3,900 acres, it is one of the world’s largest municipal parks. Nonetheless, for all its national importance, the origin of the park, its philosophical founda- tions, and its authorship have been misunderstood in the literature.1 About the principal dates there is no dispute: in 1812–15 a municipal waterworks was built on the banks of the Schuylkill, the site of which soon became a popular resort location and a subject of picturesque paintings; in 1843 the city began to acquire tracts of land along the river to safeguard the water supply; in 1859 the city held a competition for the design of a picturesque park; finally, in 1867, the Fairmount Park Commission was established to oversee a much larger park, whose layout was eventually entrusted to the German landscape architect Hermann J. Schwarzmann. This is the version rehearsed in all modern accounts of the park. All texts agree that 1867 marks the origin of the park, in conception and execution. They depict the pre–Civil War events as abortive and inconclusive; in particular, they dismiss the 1859 competition. According to George B. Tatum, writing in 1961, a series of “plans were prepared,” I am indebted to five generous colleagues who read this manuscript and contributed suggestions: Therese O’Malley of CASVA; Sheafe Satterthwaite and E.

Advisor: Randall Mason This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hp_theses/112 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Reinterpreting the Laurel Hill Cemetery Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Abstract Laurel Hill Cemetery is an ideal candidate for an investigation of an innovative interpretation regime. It is a complex landscape that contains a wide variety of resources. Those resources cover a range of interests, holding an appeal for a broad potential audience. Importantly, the site is also recognized as one of great national and cultural significance. Formal recognition of Laurel Hill Cemetery's cultural significance and contribution ot the rural cemetery movement came when it was designated as a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1998. It was the first cemetery in the nation to be so designated and remains today an impressive 78-acre sculpture garden and historical resource. Like so many of America's cultural resources, however, the promotion and interpretation of the Laurel Hill Cemetery is not without difficulty.

Building a Green Community: The Woodlands as an Experiment in Urban Landscape Interpretation Abstract From its origins as an eighteenth-century pleasure ground, to its conversion into a rural cemetery, to its modern day potential as parkland, The Woodlands has raised questions and debates about land use in West Philadelphia. Now consisting of fifty acres of William Hamilton’s 600-acre estate, The Woodlands is the largest and most significant green space in the University City neighborhood. The Woodlands, a National Historic Landmark, Landscape, and District, is managed by The Woodlands Trust for Historic Preservation. The mission of the Trust is “to preserve, enhance and interpret its nationally significant cultural landscape, historic buildings, and cemetery, and to make them available to the public as vital educational, environmental, and civic resources.” I posit that The Woodlands is not fulfilling its educational mission to the greatest extent.

    THE KEY. VoL. VIII. JUNE, 1891. No.3. THE PAN-HELLENIC CONVENTION. BosTON, Mass., April 16-17, 1891. WEDNESDAY afternoon, April 15, the Kappa Kappa Gammas of . Boston University ushered in this most auspicious Convention by an informal tea to delegates, visitors and fraternity women of Boston. The spirit of the occasion was contagious ; the interest aroused by the arrival of delegates, the desire to inspect strange badges and the pleasure afforded by the opportunity of meeting fraternity women known long by name through the various magazines, having created an enthusiasm that would be neither suppressed nor controlled. The earnestness and sinceri­ ity of the young women present was at once apparent, each face in itself inviting study and making of the whole a body evidently capable of any­ thing undertaken ; and the Convention, so pleasantly inaugurated, meant just that : its delegates were representative college women who by reason of their ability and preeminently because of their fitness by training for leadership are destined to be the leaders among women. A spirit of hearty good will prevailed everywhere and a courtesy for difference of opinion that was as noticeable as gratifying ; but the differ­ ences were found not so many or so great as might be expected. It was re!!dily seen that theground upon which fraternity is based is not the exclu­ sive property of any one fraternity organization but is held in common, and that on this ground the delegates had met and from it they would consider the topics of interest to all and the evils common to the fraternity system.
