  • Letter from Eben Appleton to Charles Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1912. New York December 12Th, 1912
    Letter from Eben Appleton to Charles Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1912. New York December 12th, 1912 Mr. Charles Walcott, Secty Smithsonian Institute Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: If agreeable to you and the authorities in charge of the National Museum, I shall be very glad to present to that Institution that flag owned by me, and now in possession of the Museum as a loan from me, and known as the Star-Spangled Banner. It has always been my intention to present the flag during my life time to that Institution in the country where it could be conveniently seen by the public, and where it would be well cared for, and the advantages and the appropriateness of the National Museum are so obvious, as to render consideration of any other place unnecessary. Whilst realizing that the poem of Mr. Key is the one thing which renders this flag of more than ordinary interest, it is only right to appreciate the fact that there was a cause for his inspiration. Being detained temporarily on board a British Man of War, he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry, and was inspired by that dramatic scene to give to the Nation his beautiful lines. I must ask therefore, as a condition of this gift, and injustice to the Commandant of the Fort, and the brave men under him, that their share in the inspiration of this poem be embodied in the inscription to be placed in the case containing this flag. I have had forwarded to me copies of the inscriptions contained in the case at present, and do not think they could be improved upon, but as I desire now to make a specific choice, will say that the following is the one which I prefer, and should like to be assured by you will be the official marking-- The Star Spangled Banner Garrison Flag of Fort McHenry, Baltimore, during the bombardment of the Fort by the British Sept.13-14, 1814, when it was gallantly and successfully [sic.] defended by colonel George Armistead, and the brave men under him.

CINCINNATI•:• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK C.OMPANY Digitized by Google ' .. HARVARD COLLEGELIBRAllY BEQUESTOF RCLANOBUr.ll,' , ,E DIXOII f,'.AY 19, 1936 0oPYBIGRT, 1891, BY AlilBIOAN BooK Co)[PA.NY. W. P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

Howard P. Vincent frst consulted Melville’s copy for Te Trying-out of Moby-Dick (1949), where he observed that most of Melville’s marginalia had been erased from the book. Judging “not many words were erased,” Vincent expressed hope for “a future examination of the markings under infra-red rays.”1 But in Melville’s Marginalia, Walker Cowen deciphered many of Melville’s erased markings without technical assistance, and although he did not recover many of Melville’s erased words, Cowen showed that the book had once been heavily annotated.2 With fnancial support from the William Reese Company and Boise State University, technical assistance at the Fogg Art Museum, and support from staf at Houghton Library, I worked collaboratively with Dennis C.

  • “Second War of Independence,” Lit the Baltimore Skies in 1814
    Baltimore in the War of 1812 The War of 1812, often called America’s “Second War of Independence,” lit the Baltimore skies in 1814. Expecting to cruise with little resistance into the city’s harbor, a British fleet was instead frustrated by American forces at North Point and inside Fort McHenry. The courage of the fort’s defenders during the Battle of Baltimore was witnessed by Francis Scott Key, a Maryland lawyer detained on board a truce vessel after facilitating an American prisoner’s release. Key watched bombs burst along the shoreline and rockets zooming across the sky. But when the smoke cleared and British ships pulled back, a large American flag—measuring 42 feet by 30 feet—fluttered over the fort’s ramparts, prompting him to write the poem that became the national anthem. Day One: Begin your day at the Baltimore Visitor Center at the Inner Harbor. Here, a new exhibit will introduce you to the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Learn about special events, purchase tickets for attractions, tours and harbor cruises, pick up brochures, and make reservations for dining and lodging—all in one convenient location. Next, make your way to Baltimore’s Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, site of the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the poem that would later become “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Fort McHenry features exhibits, tours, and lush grounds. Visit the new Fort McHenry Visitor and Education Center to see a dramatic film about the War of 1812. Learn about the Battle of Baltimore and walk the ramparts of the star-shaped fort.
