  • A Past So Fraught with Sorrow Bert H
    A Past So Fraught With Sorrow Bert H. Barnett, Gettysburg NMP On May 23 and 24, 1865, the victorious Union armies gathered for one massive, final “Grand Review” in Washington, D.C. Among the multitude of patriotic streamers and buntings bedecking the parade route was one, much noticed, hanging from the Capitol. It proclaimed, perhaps with an unintended irony, “The only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious Union soldiers.” One sharp-eyed veteran, a participant in almost all the war’s eastern campaigns, observed, “I could not help wondering, whether, having made up their minds that they can never pay the debt, they will not think it useless to try” [emphasis in original].1 The sacrifices demanded of the nation to arrive at that point had been terrific—more than 622,000 men dead from various causes. To acknowledge these numbers simply as a block figure, however, is to miss an important portion of the story. Each single loss represented an individual tragedy of the highest order for thousands of families across the country, North and South. To have been one of the “merely wounded” was often to suffer a fate perhaps only debatably better than that of a deceased comrade. Many of these battle casualties were condemned to years of physical agony and mental duress. The side effects that plagued these men often also tore through their post-war lives and families as destructively as any physical projectile, altering relationships with loved ones and reducing the chances for a fuller integration into a post-war world.

  • John White Geary: “Giant of His Times”
    JOHN WHITE GEARY: “GIANT OF HIS TIMES” Anthony Waskie, Ph.D. Early Life Few men have ever had such an impact on the history of their times, nor contributed more to the development of their nation and state, and, was thrust into more critical and pivotal roles at the very flash point of action, nor have more often influenced the course of historic events than John White Geary in the Mid-19th Century. Geary was born in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania on December 30th, 1819. He was descended from the sturdy Scotch- Irish pioneers, who had scratched out farms from the vast wilderness.1 His father, Richard Geary was well educated and refined for his day. He had failed at the iron business and opened a school, teaching for the remainder of his life.2 Geary’s mother, Margaret White hailed from Washington County in Western Maryland. Geary grew to be a giant in stature, reaching 6’6’’ tall, and weighed over 250 pounds. in his adulthood. He had a sturdy and athletic physique, a long dark beard in keeping with the style of the day, dark piercing eyes, and a dark complexion, all which gave Geary a most commanding presence.3 Geary's father educated his two surviving sons at home and sought to instill in them his love of learning, but also his intense ambitious quest for success. Geary's older brother, Edward became a noted and influential Presbyterian minister, and an early figure in the history of the Oregon Territory, which he pioneered. John White Geary, after a solid preparation at his father's school entered Jefferson (now Washington & Jefferson) College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.4 After his father's death Geary withdrew from college to provide for his family by opening his own school at the age of fifteen.5 With hard work, doing, among other things, a teaching stint in a school he opened, and following a thrifty lifestyle, Geary was able to return to Jefferson College and graduated with his Bachelor’s degree.

  • Interior and Exterior Design
    Interior and Exterior Design looking at all the angels •Over the past 50 years, architecture’s agency in society has emerged as a growing concern for contemporary artists. Be it the white-cube space of the gallery, the historic walls of a specific site, or the loaded evocations of Modernism embedded in glass and concrete surfaces, artists and theorists agree that there is no such thing as a neutral environment—every space speaks.• "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us."—Winston Churchill Structures •When looking at exterior design there are different aspects to explore – •First is the structure itself. There are different aspects within this that we must examine •Temporary structures and shelters – planning and construction •The redesign of an existing building •Designing a house or shelter for a specific geographic location Environments •Designing an environment for a particular group – eg a children's playground •Transforming of a given space into a new purpose, eg a car park to a park •Features and furniture within an environment eg gateways, fountains, street furniture and lighting •Design of topography, surfaces and gardens for a park •Design of mural and sculptural reliefs for specific environments. Temporary Structures •What are temporary structures? •- Essentially, a temporary structure is a type of building that is used for a short space of time – this could be for an event or a warehouse needed to store seasonal stock for a retail shop. Temporary structures vary significantly in terms of design, specification and size depending on what you need it for. We are crazy not to think about how often these structures are used within our everyday lives and the different forms they take and the environments that they help create.
