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.

MAURY RICHMOND £icbmanti Whittkt & Shepperson CO p-y RIGHTED, 1915, BY KATHERINE C. STILES ^ ©G!,A397857 MAY 3 1915 INTRODUCTION >HEN I took charge of the Georgia Room, in the Confederate Museum, in Richmond, Virginia in 1897, I found among the De Renne collection an engraving of the pleasant, intellectual face of Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, so I went to his son. Colonel Richard L. Maury, who had been with his father in all his work here, and urged him to write the history of it, while memory, papers and books could be referred to; this carefully written, accurate paper was the result. At one time, when Commodore Maury was very sick, he asked one of his daughters to get the Bible and read to him. She chose Psalm 8, the eighth verse of which speaks of "whatsoever walketh through the paths of the sea," he repeated "the paths of the sea, the paths of the sea, if God says the paths of the sea, they are there, and if I ever get out of this bed I will find them." He did begin his deep sea soundings as soon as he was strong enough, and found that two ridges extended from the New York coast to England, so he made charts for ships to sail over one path to England and return over the other. -
