Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/shenandoahnationOOravl ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This manual series is the result of the intensive efforts of many people. During the six year development and implementation period, the degree of cooperation and dedication to the task was exceptional and is deserving the extra attention given here. The Shenandoah National Park Inventory and Monitoring (l&M) program began with a vision; a vision born of the creative minds of several of our most respected National Park Service (NPS) scientists and managers. In this case, the vision was the realization of the critical importance of l&M to the future management and protection of the natural resources within the National Park System. There were undoubtedly others that contributed to this vision, however, those most active during recent years include: Dave Parsons, Dave Graber, Gary Davis, Ray Herrmann, Robert Stottlemyer, and Boyd Evison. The basic principles of l&M supported by these people and others can be found throughout this manual series. Their contribution to this effort is a real one and cannot be overlooked. Thank you all. It is quantum leap from vision to action. The person that made this all possible was Mid-Atlantic Regional Chief Scientist John Karish. He recognized the urgent need for an l&M program at Shenandoah National Park (SNP) and provided financial support and program direction. He was determined to get this project started and to see it through; and he did. One of the most unusual aspects of this project was the dedication of the l&M work group at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Their names can be found on the cover sheets of each manual section in which they were involved. These people showed a remarkable sense of responsibility for the quality of these manuals and can be rightly proud of their accomplishments. The Park staff were the work horses of the project. Supervisory Natural Resource Specialist Rick Potts and Geographic Information Specialist Specialist Alison Teetor, were involved from the beginning, others entered the program as it grew, assuming key roles during the implementation period. Rick, more than any other, was responsible for the quality and reliability of field protocols selected for inclusion in the manuals. His uncompro- mising quest for quality is evident in all of his work. Superintendent Bill Wade and Assistant Superintendent Paul Anderson are avid supporters of the Park's l&M program. Their tenacious dedication to quality natural resource protection and management is well known. These people made up the team. I am proud to have the opportunity to work with them on this project.

    commercial spaces like theaters, and to performances spanning the gamut from the solemn, to the joyous. This diversity encompassed celebrations outside the expected calendar of national days. Patriotic sentiment was even a key feature of events celebrating the economic and commercial expansion of the new nation. The commemorative celebration for the laying of the foundation-stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the “great national work which is intended and calculated to cement more strongly the union of the Eastern and the Western States,” took place on July 4, 1828.1 It beautifully illustrated the musical ties that bound different spaces together – in this case a parade route, a temporary outdoor civic space, and the permanent space of the Holliday Street Theatre. Organizers chose July Fourth for the event, wishing to signal civic pride and affective patriotism. Baltimore filled with visitors in the days before the celebration, so that on the morning of the Fourth the “immense throng of spectators…filled every window in Baltimore-street, and the pavement below….fifty thousand spectators, at least, must have been present.” The parade was massive and incorporated a great diversity of groups, including “bands of music, trades, and other bodies.” One focal point was a huge model, “completely rigged,” of a naval vessel, the “Union,” complete with uniformed sailors. Bands playing patriotic tunes were interspersed amongst the nationalist imagery on display: militia uniforms, banners emblazoned with patriotic verse, national flags, eagle figures, shields, and more. Charles Carrollton, one of the last surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence, gave the main public address at the site, accompanied by a march composed for the occasion, the “Carrollton March” (see Figure 2.4).

The railroad was intended to provide a faster route for Midwestern goods to reach the East Coast than the successful Erie Canal across upstate NY. Construction began on July 4th, 1828. It was decided to follow the Patapsco River to a point near where the railroad would cross the “fall line” and descend into the valley of the Monocacy and Potomac Rivers. Thomas Viaduct (on the B&O RR) spans the Patapsco River and Patapsco Valley between Relay and Elkridge, MD (1833-35) It was the largest bridge in the nation and today its still the world's oldest multiple arched stone railroad bridge Further extensions of the B&O RR soon opened to Frederick and Point of Rocks on the Potomac river.
