  • Popes Creek Trail Concept Presented
    Popes Creek Trail concept presented Posted by TBN_Charles On 06/22/2017 La Plata, MD - The Pope’s Creek Rail Trail is moving forward. Eileen Minnick, Charles County director of recreation, told the Charles County Commissioners Tuesday, June 20 that barring any hiccups along the way, construction on the new trail could begin as early as next summer. In January 2014, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources was awarded a $1 million federal grant to preserve 220 acres of the Popes Creek watershed. The thought was to establish a new rail trail along the abandoned Popes Creek rail bed, a distance of some two miles. “One of the goals of the county recreation and parks and tourism is water access,” said Parks Director Jon Snow. “It’s a real challenge to get waterfront access.” Snow said the county is adding boat ramps and kayak launches at Port Tobacco River Park and Chapel Point. “Everyone in Charles County wants it, but not everyone is a boater,” Snow said. “But they still want water access. These projects will do a really good job of providing that. “Popes Creek is one of our best opportunities for waterfront access,” he added. “We’ve got a really good opportunity to create a water access venue on and off the water. Steve Engle of Vista Design Inc. outlined a conceptual plan for the trail, which includes an elevated observation platform over the Potomac River and a possible museum at the site of the old Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative power plant at Popes Creek, built in 1938.

  • Grigsby's Who Helped in the Formation of Shreveport, Louisiana
    Grigsby’s Who Helped in the Formation of Shreveport, Louisiana The following talk was given at the National Grigsby Family Society meeting in Bossier City, Louisiana in June 2000. It was compiled from materials in the NGFS archives, local history books, and an interview with Eric Brock, north Louisiana historian. Shreveport, named in honor of Captain Henry Miller Shreve, was a planned land development rather than an area that naturally attracted settlers. The developers called themselves the “Shreveport Town Company” when they began working together in 1836. Bushrod Jenkins, married to Edith Marie Grigsby and partner to her brother Lewis Kemp Grigsby, was one of the original members. The land needed for the town site was acquired from Larkin Edwards, a much loved Caddo Indian interpreter who had been given a grant for his service by the Indians in a treaty. The Shreveport Town Company founders convinced him to take his grant out of the high land which is now downtown Shreveport. This location was attractive as a logical place to cross the Red River and was deep enough for steam boat traffic; however, water traffic was impeded by a tremendous log jam. Captain Shreve made the Shreveport Town Company’s plan work when he cleared the “Great Raft” so boat commerce was possible. Shreveport in Bushrod Jenkins’ day was a wild frontier town. There were many rough river men, few women, and little culture. By his death around 1850 the town had grown to 1000 inhabitants including some professional people, several churches, a courthouse, schoolhouse, and a jail. This part of North Louisiana first began to be settled in the 1830s.

  • Dr. Ulysses S. Washington, Jr
    Celebrating The Life & Legacy of Dr. Ulysses S. Washington, Jr. July 16, 1920 – October 25, 2018 orn in 1920 in Dillwyn, a small, central Virginia town in Buckingham County, Dr. Ulysses Samuel Washington, Jr. developed an early appreciation for education. Most of B his childhood centered on school - whether in a four-room schoolhouse during the week or in a church building on Sunday mornings. He credited the mentoring and modeling he received from an agricultural teacher for piquing his interest in pursuing agricultural education. When “Wash,” as he was affectionately called, was not walking five miles to and from school each day, he was helping his father on the family farm and sawmill. After graduating from Carter C. Woodson High School, Dr. Washington attended St. Paul’s Normal and Industrial College in Lawrenceville, VA and later received his bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from Virginia State College (now University) in Petersburg, VA in 1942. He fulfilled his World War II military obligation with the United States Navy from 1944-1946 as a landing craft motor machinist until he was honorably discharged. Dr. Washington later attended Penn State University and Rutgers University where he earned his master’s degree in 1949. Dr. Washington came to Delaware State University (then Delaware State College) in September 1949 and began a career that would span 43 illustrious years. It was there that he met and married Ruth Helen Washington, and was blessed with the births of their two children, Diane and “Ukee.” During his tenure at Delaware State, Dr. Washington not only held the position of associate professor but also served as assistant football coach and acting head football coach.
