  • Case Statement
    The Lincoln Family Home Hildene exists to carry the values of Abraham Lincoln to future generations. Our mission is to inspire others to put those Values into Action. CASE STATEMENT Hildene is one of the two or three most important Lincoln sites in the country. While other sites tend to focus on Lincoln as historical giant, we have carved out a different path as the organization focused on carrying Lincoln values into the future. Our three-word mission is Values into Action. Our Core Values are Integrity, Perseverance and Civic Responsibility. While that mission and core values are straight from Abraham Lincoln, we have made them our own. Through our key actions of Preservation, Conservation, Sustainability and Civil Civic Discourse, we make those timeless values relevant to today’s world. Hildene is a Vermont not-for-profit qualified as a 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt organization. It has a thir- teen-member board of trustees made up of a diverse group of individuals, some of whom live local- ly and some of whom live out of state. The board meets quarterly and has three standing commit- tees: Financial Planning, Advancement and Governance. Each trustee serves on one committee. History Hildene was the summer home of Robert and Mary Lincoln. Of Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s four sons, only Robert survived to adulthood. Successful lawyer, Secretary of War (1881-1885), Minister to England (1889-1893), president/board chair of the Pullman Company, Robert is one of the country’s most successful presidential children. In 1902, at the age of 59, Robert purchased the property that was to become his “ancestral home” in Manchester, Vermont.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.
