GENERAL STONE's ELEVATED RAILROAD Portrait of an Inventor Mark Reinsberg
GENERAL STONE'S ELEVATED RAILROAD Portrait of an Inventor Mark Reinsberg Part III several months after the close of the Philadelphia Centennial and the dismantling of his monorail exhibit, Roy Stone lived an ForA intensely private life, leaving no documentation whatever. One can imagine that the General returned to Cuba, New York, dis- heartened by the debacle and deeply involved in the problems of bankruptcy. There were health problems as well. Towards the end of winter, 1876/77, Stone resolved to cash in an old IOU. On a gloomy and introspective March day, the General traveled to Belmont, the seat of Allegany County, New York.He did so in order to make a legal declaration, an affidavit needed "for the purpose of being placed on the invalid pension role of the United States/' State of New York County of Allegany ss: On this 12th day of March A.D. 1877 personally appeared before me clerk of said County ... Roy Stone aged forty (40) years, a resident of the village of Cuba ... who being duly sworn according to law declares that he is the identical Roy Stone who was ...

“Never Have I Seen Such a Charge”
The Army of Northern Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge” Pender’s Light Division at Gettysburg, July 1 D. Scott Hartwig It was July 1 at Gettysburg and the battle west of town had been raging furiously since 1:30 p.m. By dint of only the hardest fighting troops of Major General Henry Heth’s and Major General Robert E. Rodes’s divisions had driven elements of the Union 1st Corps from their positions along McPherson’s Ridge, back to Seminary Ridge. Here, the bloodied Union regiments and batteries hastily organized a defense to meet the storm they all knew would soon break upon them. This was the last possible line of defense beyond the town and the high ground south of it. It had to be held as long as possible. To break this last line of Union resistance, Confederate Third Corps commander, Lieutenant General Ambrose P. Hill, committed his last reserve, the division of Major General Dorsey Pender. They were the famed Light Division of the Army of Northern Virginia, boasting a battle record from the Seven Days battles to Chancellorsville unsurpassed by any other division in the army. Arguably, it may have been the best division in Lee’s army. Certainly no organization of the army could claim more combat experience. Now, Hill would call upon his old division once more to make a desperate assault to secure victory. In many ways their charge upon Seminary Ridge would be symbolic of why the Army of Northern Virginia had enjoyed an unbroken string of victories through 1862 and 1863, and why they would meet defeat at Gettysburg. -
