    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Fort Monroe Hampton, VA Reconnaissance Study May 2008 1 This reconnaissance study has been prepared at the request of members of Congress to explore specific resources and advise on whether these resources merit further consideration, through a congressionally authorized Special Resource Study, for potential designation as a unit of the national park system.

  • The United States Balloon Corps in Action in Northern
    THE UNITED STATES BALLOON CORPS IN ACTION IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA DURING THE CIVIL WAR By June Robinson The first use of balloons for military purposes in the United States was made at Falls Church, Virginia, on June 23, 1861, by Thaddeus Sobieski Coulincourt Lowe at the direction of Captain Amie! Weeks Whipple of the Topographical Engineers Corps. 1 Professor Lowe, one of the best-known balloonists in the country, had come to Washington earlier that month to persuade the government of the advantages of the use of aeronautical services in the war that had just begun. With the encouragement of Joseph Henry, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, whose scientific interests had been aroused by Lowe's earlier efforts to demonstrate the possibility of transatlantic balloon travel, Lowe came to Washington with the balloon Enterprise in which he had just completed a voyage from Cincinnati, Ohio to South Carolina, a distance of 900 miles, in nine hours. In the capital he inflated the Enterprise with illuminating gas from one of the mains in the Armory and made tethered ascensions from the Armory grounds, from the Smithsonian grounds, and in front of the Executive Mansion. At one point telegraph operator Herbert Robinson went up with him, and using a direct wire to the ground, tapped out a message to President Lincoln: Balloon Enterprise Washington, D.C. June 18, 1861 To the President of the United States: Sir: This point of observation commands an area nearly 50 miles in diameter. The city with its girdle of encampments presents a superb scene. I have pleasure in sending you this first dispatch ever telegraphed from an aerial station and in acknowledging indebtedness for your encouragement for the opportunity of demonstrating the availability of the science of aeronautics in the service of the country.

  • Index to the Historical Archives of the Town Of
    INDEX TO THE HISTORICAL ARCHIVES OF THE TOWN OF SALEM SALEM, NY WASHINGTON COUNTY HISTORIAN'S COLLECTION DR. ASA FITCH HISTORICAL SOCIETY COLLECTION Revised January 2016 William Cormier, Historian The following lists contain the archival records of the village of Salem and represent only a part of all administrative records generated by the village. The archives contain those records, pictures, artifacts, correspondence, etc. which have and will have administrative, legal, research and historical value. Without these records much of our history would be lost forever. In 1992, a grant from the NYS Archives and Records Administration (SARA) enabled the town and village of Salem to begin the process of sorting, inventorying, preserving and cataloging the town and village records. In addition to the actual records, a growing microfilm collection, which consists of local newspapers, vital records, town minutes and the Dr. Asa Fitch Jr. Journals, was created. Microfilming was made possible through a Washington County SARA grant. In the 1994-95 year, a New York State LGRMIF grant made possible an historical archives indexing project. This project was completed through the efforts of William A. Cormier, historian and grant coordinator; Dorothy Shane, archival clerk; and Patricia Baltz, typist and proof reader, with the cooperation from Mary Kilpatrick, town clerk and Peg Culver, librarian. At present, Salem's village archives are housed in the History Room off the Bancroft Library in the Proudfit Building. Other village records, kept by the village clerk, village justice, and fire department, are found in the village office in the Proudfit Building. Inactive records are stored in the Inactive Record Storage Room in the Proudfit Building.

  • Uit Jours À Peine Après Le Bombardement Confédéré De Fort
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM peinturede Tom Lovell – ProfessorLowe’s Balloon Par Gérard Hawkins e 20 avril 1861, huit jours à peine après le bombardement confédéré de Fort L Sumter, quelque part en Caroline du Sud, le ciel fut soudainement obscurci par l’apparition d’une énorme masse sombre. Bercée par le vent, la forme hideuse à l’allure quelque peu menaçante semblait dériver selon une trajectoire incertaine tout en se rapprochant inexorablement de la terre ferme. Sa course se termina en un atterrissage en douceur dans une zone rurale peu peuplée, située à environ seize kilomètres à l’ouest d’Unionville. Un groupe de paysans peu rassurés et armés jusqu’aux dents s’élança aussitôt vers le champ où s’était posé le monstre de quinze mètres de haut et de cinq cent septante mètres cubes de volume.
