One of the most interesting episodes Rebel Raiders related by Colonel Ward is recorded in the It is a matter of record that on March diary after his return to an assignment at 9, 1864, Col. William W. Ward, a prisoner at Abingdon, Virginia. In support of a Morgan Ohio Penitentiary at Columbus, wrote to the movement into East Tennessee, Ward was commissary-general of prisoners at present in Jonesboro where he had procured Washington asking that prisoners of war a billet.

"John Thompson's Book," a noteworthy journal of early travel, was presented to the library by Dr. and Mrs. K. J. Phelps of Lewisburg. Two other important diaries presented by Dr. and Mrs. Phelps are given notice in other parts of this report. Riverboatrnen were much aided in the early part of the nineteenth century by such directional works as The NaVigator issued by Zadok Cramer. The seventh edition of Cramer published in Pittsburgh in 1811 has the title, The Navigator: Containing Directions for Navigating the Monongahela, Allegheny, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; with an Ample Account of these Much Admired Waters . In comparing the account in the library's copy of the seventh edition of The NaVigator to John Thompson's simple observations, many similarities can be noted. Thompson's initial comment about r sailing down the Mississippi is "Past New r Madrid in company with six boats at twelve a ( o'clock." New Madrid, MiSSOUri, is about seventy miles from the mouth of the Ohio. iI This is the area that was the center of the ~ devastating New Madrid earthquakes in s 1811 and 1812. It is said thatthe earth tl movements were so great that even the s course of the Mississippi was somewhat E altered. The first steamboat to navigate the fi Mississippi happened to be on the river at a that time and its captain reported that for a c while it seemed that the river was running \.\ backwards. Among the ..:hanges made was b the blocking of the natural outlet of Reelfoot I­ River that created present-day Reelfoot tl Lake.

Down er. river from New Madrid he mentions "little pirrara - a very hansom little twon [sic] on It the West bank of the Mississippi." According to The Navigator, "little pirrara" is Little Ie Prairie. Thompson refers to a series of "Tallehatchee Bluffs" that The Navigator identifies as Chickasaw Bluffs. On May 4th to .. Thompson records a landing at the "Chickesaw Bluffs," which shows it was only a sixteen·day river journey from Nashville to the vicinity of Memphis. Leaving the Memphis area on May 5th, Thompson notes, "Started from Checkesaw bluff at four p.m. Past a Suck on the right hand side of the river it is in a bend opposit an Island - it is very bad."

13 the text has been translated into English by Dr. Karin Cramer. The translation makes it easy for English speaking scholars, architects, and students to study and appreciate the work of Schinkel. The appearance of this facsimile is timely because there is a renewed interest in the architecture of the nineteenth century. The age of Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Historicism now enjoys the increasing attention of students, architects, and architectural preservationists. The recently issued volume of architectural plans with accompanying text was produced in 1981 by Exedra Books, Incorporated of Chicago. In making such a significant work available, the publishers have not only paid tribute to one of the great architects of the nineteenth century, but also have transmitted his creative inspiration to a new generation of architects and students. Everywhere around us we now hear appeals from segments of the citizenry to protect our architectural heritage. Movements are afoot to restore historic buildings and to preserve commercial and residential areas where edifices of distinction remain standing. Part of the value of Schinkel's book for today's student is that it can be applied to current sentiments regarding preservation. This value is pOinted up by Hermann Pundt in a prefatory essay written for the new facsimile edition. He says: Presentation ofKurzweil Reader.
