Sons of Confederate Veterans Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 Sons of Confederate Veterans Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 “The Sharpsburg Sentinel” The Sharpsburg Camp and the SCV denounce racism, racial Volume 11, Issue 6 supremacists, hate groups, and any group or individual that misuses or desecrates the symbols of the Confederate States or the United States. June 2016 “Youth’s Hour of Glory” Commander’s Notes Eric Buckland was our speaker for our Wednesday, May 4th meeting and he gave an excellent presentation on “Mosby’s Rangers”. Mr. Buckland is a retired Lt. Colonel in Army Special Forces and his talk on Mosby’s men was truly entertaining. Mosby’s Rangers were the special forces of their day and caused the Union army much heartache. I plan on having Mr. Buckland back in the future for one of his other presentations. In lieu of our regular June meeting we will be having our annual chartering dinner on Saturday, June 18th, 2016, 6:00 P.M. Information below: Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 Sons of Confederate Veterans Annual Chartering Dinner Featuring Guest Speaker Ms. Teresa Roane of the United Daughters of the Confederacy Presenting a Talk on "Minorities in the Confederate Military: Combat Support" Saturday, June 18th, 2016 6:00 P.M. Private Dining Room Hoffman's All American Grill www.hoffmansallamericangrill.com 18203 Mason Dixon Road Hagerstown, MD 21740 Dinner will be served from a limited menu, no advanced payment needed. Seating is limited so please R.S.V.P. by Saturday, June 11th, 2016 If you have any questions or to R.S.V.P., please contact Camp Commander Michael Wasiljov at [email protected] or 301-992-3122-C Sons of Confederate Veterans Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 Ms. Roane's Bio: Teresa Roane was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. She earned her B. A. in history at Virginia Commonwealth University. She worked for eight years at the Richmond Public Library followed by 15 years at the Valentine Museum’s library. She was the Archivist at the Museum of the Confederacy for 7 ½ years, but on February 10, 2014, she received a chance to embark on a new opportunity. Ms. Roane is the Librarian and Archivist for the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She has served on the boards of Friends of the Richmond Public Library, Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods and Historic Richmond Foundation. She is a member of the Richmond-Stonewall Jackson UDC chapter. She received the Heritage Preservation Award from the National SCV in 2012 and the Rebecca Jones Alford Bonnie Blue Medal from the North Carolina SCV in 2014. At the 2015 National SCV Reunion, she received the Commander in Chief Ladies Appreciation medal. Ms. Roane is the new Corresponding Secretary for the UDC Virginia Division. At their recent convention, UDC North Carolina Division bestowed the Jefferson Davis Gold medal for excellence in history to Ms. Roane. Recently, she was honored with a Ladies Appreciation medal from the General Robert E. Lee SCV Camp. Teresa has given many presentations and workshops. She spends her free time reading, watching movies and walking battlefields. Her topic is Minorities in the Confederate Military: Combat Support. Books about slavery are legion; however not as many books have been devoted to the topic of Free People of Color. Around a quarter of a million Free People lived in the South and they made significant contributions. They are truly the forgotten people in the 21st century but evidence of their existence lives on in documents throughout the South. It is 2016 and the most suppressed history remains Persons of Color in the Confederate military. I have given presentations about combat support. Make no mistake there were men who carried muskets, but Historians have tried their best to marginalize combat support. Part of the issue is that they do not understand logistics or how an army operates. Men and Women of Color who served in Combat support roles made more money than the privates. Ms. Roane is an African-American lady who isn’t afraid of her Confederate Ancestry. I encourage you all to attend this dinner and hear her presentation. She is truly a world class speaker when it comes to this topic and she travels extensively speaking to public and private groups. She lives in Richmond, VA and in order to have her speak to us, we had to agree to a speaker fee of $100.00, a hotel room for her and her fiancé, plus their meals at the dinner. We’ve never paid that much before for a speaker, but I believe it will be well worth it. I am asking for donations to help cover these expenses. If we fall short, we will use the money from the camp’s account to help cover them. If you would like to make a donation, please make a check out to the “Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582, SCV and mail it to: Camp Commander Michael Wasiljov 213 Pangborn Blvd. Hagerstown, MD 21740-5044 Sons of Confederate Veterans Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 The private room at Hoffman’s only holds about 50 people, so if you’re interested in going, please R.S.V.P. me ASAP. If any of you use Amazon to make purchases, please consider using their charity site, www.smile.amazon.com. You can choose the SCV to receive a donation from just about every purchase you make. Also within the next few months a large Confederate Battle Flag should be flying just off Route. 301 in Charles County, MD. The SCV has a program where they can help with drawing up the legal documents for leasing the land and who owns the flagpole as well as monetary donations. I want to encourage you all to be on the lookout for our supporters who own property near major roadways who might be willing to have a flagpole on their property. Also, fly Confederate Flags at your houses or at least put a sticker on your car. Don’t be a closet Confederate. I want to thank each and every one of you for being a member of the SCV. Remember, this is your camp and I encourage all of you to participate fully. Yours in the cause, Michael David Wasiljov Commander Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 Sons of Confederate Veterans 301-992-3122-C [email protected] MINUTES The May 4, 2016 meeting of the Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 was held at the Sharpsburg Town Hall. The meeting began at 7:00 p.m. with 14 members and Friends and 5 guests in attendance. Commander Wasiljov opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag and the Salute to the Confederate flag. The invocation was given by Chaplain Toby Law. Prior to the meeting five members of the Camp enjoyed a dinner at the Bonnie’s at Red Byrd Restaurant with our guest speaker Eric Buckland. A good meal and fellowship was enjoyed along with the sharing of Mosby stories. A special thanks to Compatriot Dwayne Lunsford for planning this dinner and meeting. Sons of Confederate Veterans Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 OLD BUSINESS Commander Wasiljov reminded the membership that our regular June meeting date has been moved to Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. This will be our annual chartering dinner and will feature Ms. Teresa Roane presenting a program on “Minorities in the Confederate Military: Combat Support”. See the Commander’s Notes and our Camp e-mails for complete information. *Reminder* Please R.S.V.P. your reservations to our Commander by June 11, 2016. This should be a great experience. To defray the cost of this special speaker Commander Wasiljov would appreciate donations. Again, please review the Commander’s Notes in this newsletter and consider helping in this Cause. A summary of the Maryland Division Convention was given by both the Commander and the Adjutant. Our thanks go out to the Camalier Camp #1359 for a great convention. Great food, comradery, and it was nice to have as our special speaker Commander-in-Chief Kelly Barrow. As noted our Commander was honored by receiving a SCV Commendation Medal and he was reelected as the 2nd Lt. Commander for the Maryland Division. Congratulations Commander Wasiljov. The Camp was also reminded of the numerous SCV events that are noted in our Upcoming Events section. On Saturday, May 7, 2016 at the Virginia Monument in Gettysburg we will be celebrating Confederate Memorial Day. This event is sponsored by the Pvt. John Wesley Culp Memorial Camp #1961. A luncheon will follow the ceremony. Also, noted was the Sharpsburg Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony featuring the Maryland Division SCV Color Guard. NEW BUSINESS It was announced that our Camp treasury now has an additional $77 thanks to the Antietam Gallery which contributed a portion of their Confederate flag sales to our Camp. The status of the Camp’s treasury was updated by the Adjutant. Thanks to Glen Stickle for his financial efforts. In the next few months information regarding payment of dues will appear in the newsletter and will be forward in e-mail form. We still have a few months before that becomes an issue. We do have several Friends of the Battle of Sharpsburg Camp #1582 that will begin receiving notices regarding the status of their associate membership dues. Last year our Camp dramatically increased its membership. This was accomplished by recruitment of new members and the reinstatement of some of our “missing comrades”. We had 100% retention which reflects highly on the members of our Camp. That certainly will be our goal for the 2016- 2017 membership drive.

  • Loudon Park National Cemetery Lodge
    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY LOUDON PARK NATIONAL CEMETERY, LODGE HALS No. MD-5-A Location: 3445 Frederick Avenue, Baltimore, (Independent City), Maryland. The coordinates for the Loudon Park National Cemetery, Lodge are 76.683404 W and 39.2722228 N, and they were obtained in August 2012 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. Present Owner: National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Prior to 1988, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs was known as the Veterans Administration. The Veterans Administration took over management of Loudon Park National Cemetery from the U.S. Army in 1973 (Public Law 93-43). Date: 1885-86. Builder/Contractor: William Roussey. Description: The lodge for Loudon Park retained the three-room, L-shaped plan developed for the Second Empire style lodges, however, it assumed a Victorian-era cottage aesthetic with cross gable roofs, overhanging eaves, decorative bargeboards and brackets, paired double-hung sash glazed with two-over-two lights and operable shutters on the exterior. The millwork inside plus the built-in cabinet and corner stair contributed to the overall cottage-like characteristics of the building. The principal elevation faces west toward the entrance drive. The building is two stories in height and was constructed of brick, complete with a water table. The chimneys were built of brick as well. Granite was used for the sills. Inside, the floors are wood, and the wood doors are paneled. In the mid-1920s electricity came to the lodge, and by the decade’s end, its heating system had been modernized as well.

War Propaganda: We Want You To… 1 Overview Students will visit Charles Scalion’s grave. Using propaganda he brought home from the Korean War from the 1st Loudspeaker and Leaflet Company, students will evaluate how propaganda is used during war as part of psychological warfare. They can study how the propaganda is used to demolish the morale of an enemy.

Dryer teaches at Calvert High School in Prince Frederick, Maryland. Spotlight: Loudon Park National Cemetery Loudon Park National Cemetery, originally a military cemetery located within the private Loudon Park Cemetery, is located in southwest Baltimore, Md. It was one of the 14 original national cemeteries established under the National Cemetery Act of July 17, 1862. Most of the original interments came from Baltimore hospitals, as well as the Relay House and Elkridge Landing. The Relay House was a popular hotel for B&O passengers in the 19th century. Nearby, Fort McHenry served as a prison camp for Confederate soldiers and Southern sympathizers during the Civil War. Although death rates at Fort McHenry were lower than at other Union prison facilities, a number of Confederate soldiers died while imprisoned there and they were buried at Loudon Park National Cemetery.
