  • Alvin P. Hovey and Abraham Lincoln's “Broken
    Alvin P. Hovey and Abraham Lincoln’s “Broken Promises”: The Politics of Promotion Earl J. Hess* The promotion of Alvin P. Hovey to brevet major general of volunteers in July, 1864, was an incident of some note during the Civil War’s Atlanta campaign. Angered by what he considered a political favor given to an unworthy officer, General William T. Sherman protested vigorously. President Abraham Lincoln, who had granted the promotion, responded, and historians have used this exchange to illustrate the personalities of both men. Thus overshadowed, Hovey’s case receded into obscurity.’ It is unfortunate that Hovey’s promotion, as such, has not received more attention, for his story is informative concerning the way in which military appointments in the Civil War were intertwined with political considerations. Hovey’s was not a sim- plistic case of military patronage, as Sherman believed, but an illustration of the mutable boundaries between politics and the military in a citizen army and the effects of that combination on the life of a man who successfully worked in both spheres. Hovey was a political general as were John A. Logan, Frank P. Blair, and other northwesterners. Unlike them, he failed to make max- imum use of his talents as politician and as general to achieve advancement of the kind he desired. Hovey’s antebellum career established him as a significant personality in Indiana politics. Born in 1821 near Mount Vernon, Indiana, Hovey practiced law before embarking on a brief tour of duty in the Mexican War. He was a Democratic delegate to the * Earl J.

  • Thanks Bill Smart Interview
    ALPINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NORWALK [CONNECTICUT] THANKS BILL SMART INTERVIEW (Nephew of Justin Gruelle) December 21, 2011 Tad Diesel: Hello, I am Tad Diesel and, on behalf of the Norwalk [Connecticut] Arts Commission, it is my honor to welcome Bill Smart to the city of Norwalk. Bill has given the city a true treasure and that is his collection of art that was created by his uncle, Justin Gruelle. And, Bill, first of all, on behalf of all the citizens of Norwalk, thank you very much. Bill Smart: Well, thank you, Tad, for letting me come up and sharing this great day. It’s wonderful to be here. Thank you. Tad: You may know that Justin Gruelle was among the artists of the WPA era of the 1930s who created in Norwalk city hall six of the treasured murals that are on display, but Bill has donated a collection of his personal collection of his uncle’s art that now will accompany those murals. Bill, perhaps we could start by you just giving a sense of growing up with your uncle and your early life in Norwalk. Bill: Well, Norwalk has always been the big city for me, coming from a farm in Indiana. I first came here in 1936 when these murals were put on the wall here. My uncle painted them and I celebrated my tenth birthday in Norwalk, so that was a lot of fun—75 years ago. So it is special to be here and see all these other paintings that I have collected through the years at home with his other things.

  • The Genesis of the United States National Museum
    THE GENESIS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM GEORGE BROWN GOODE, Assistaiil Secretary, Siiii/Iisoiiiaii /nsti/ii/ioii , in cliarge of the 17. S. A'utioiial iMuxeum. «3 ' IIIE GENESIS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEl'M By George Brown Goode, Assistant Secretary, Sinithsonian Institution , in charge of the U. S. National Museum. When, in 1826, James Sniithson bequeathed his estate to the United ' States of America ' to found at Washington , under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an estabhshment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men," he placed at the disposal of our nation two valuable collections—one of books and one of minerals. In the schedule of Sniithson' s personal effects, as brought to America in 1838, occurs the following entry : Two large boxes filled with specimens of minerals and manuscript treatises, apparently in the testator's handwriting, on various philosophical subjects, particu- larly chemistry and mineralogy. Eight cases and one trunk filled with the like. This collection and the books and pamphlets mentioned in the same schedule formed the beginnings, respecti\-ely, of the Smithsonian library and the Smithsonian museum. The minerals constituted, so far as the writer has l)een able to learn, the first scientific cabinet owned by the Government of the United States. Their destruction in the Smithsonian fire of 1865 was a serious loss. Our only knowledge of their character is derived from the report of a comniittee of the National Institution, which in 1841 reported upon it as follows : Among the effects of the late ]Mr. Sniithson, is a Cabinet which, so far as it has been examined, proves to consist of a choice and beautiful collection of Minerals, comprising, probably, eight or ten thousand specimens.
