The Alumni Magazine remarks that “Mort is now widely recognized as the Sage of Holyoke, the Great Philosopher of the Connecticut Valley,” and notes that “Under the title <i>Design for Living</i> he distributes his best-known verse in printed form.” I prefer the 1948 version because... well, my name is Al. <div><div><br /></div><div>The portrait which Hull identifies as “Al” is, obviously, Alfred E. Neuman. But <u>MAD Magazine</u>, its mascot Alfred E. Neuman, and the phrase “What, Me Worry?” would not appear until 1954. Hull says that this picture “framed in plush and gilt, has been handed down for several generations of my family”. It appears to be a version of this poster, called “The Original Optimist,” copyright 1914 by Harry S.

The scandal surrounding Belknap's impeachment is referred to as "the Trader Post Scandal", or "the Indian Ring." Belknap had lobbied for and congress had passed a law giving the Secretary of War, sole discretion in the awarding of "traderships" the right to sell goods to soldiers at military posts. Belknap was accused of selling these traderships. He resigned on the morning of March 2 , 1876 and was unanimously impeached by the House that afternoon. In the subsequent Senate trial, the vote was 35 for and 25 against impeachment. Most of the 25 'no' votes were grounded on the idea that the Senate lacked jurisdiction to try a person no-longer a government official. (Fellow Silver-Springers should note that one of Belknap's lawyers in this affair was Montgomery Blair.) William W.

He went on to create THE ORIGINAL Top Ramen for the U. S. in 1970.</blockquote>Ando was born Gô͘ Pek-hok, 吳百福, in Japanese occupied Taiwan in 1910. He travelled to Osaka for business and education and when Taiwan was liberated from the Japanese empire in 1945 took Japanese citizenship. The Wikipedia tells the story this way:<p></p><p></p><blockquote>With Japan still suffering from a shortage of food in the post-war era, the Ministry of Health tried to encourage people to eat bread made from wheat flour that was supplied by the United States. Ando wondered why bread was recommended instead of noodles, which were more familiar to the Japanese. The Ministry's response was that noodle companies were too small and unstable to satisfy supply needs, so Ando decided to develop the production of noodles by himself. The experience convinced him that "Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat."</blockquote>Ando's breakthrough was the discovery that deep frying the noodles drove the water out of the noodles leaving them porous so the noodles could be resuscitated quickly. It is said that he observed his wife cooking tempura and realized that the batter of the tempura was essentially the same as noodles, wheat flour and water. <a href="https://shop.cricketmedia.com/ask-magazine-january-2018-oodles-of-noodles" target="_blank">Ask Magazine</a> gives the following recipe for instant ramen:<div><blockquote>How to make instant ramen:<br /><br /><span> </span>1. Make ramen noodles.<br /><br /><span> </span>2. Steam cook.<br /><br /><span> </span>3. Dunk in hot oil.<br /><br /><span> </span>4. Dry and wrap.</blockquote><div><a href="http://andreaywang.com/books/picture-books/magic-ramen/" target="_blank">A children's book by Andrea Wang and Kana Urbanowicz</a> tells the Momofuku Ando story charmingly:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Clum.

Clum describes Taza's death and funeral:</div><div><blockquote><div>However, our visit to Washington was sadly marred by the only tragedy of the trip-the death of the young Chiricahua chief, Tah-zay. Young and strong as he was, Tahzay fell ill with pneumonia, and although the best medical skill available was called to attend him he grew worse rapidly and died within a few days. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. E. Rankin of the First Congregational Church of Washington. Among those attending the obsequies were Commissioner of Indian Affairs J. Q. Smith and General O. O. Howard, who, four years previous, had made the treaty of peace with Cochise-the dead Apache's father. The interment was made in the Congressional Cemetery.</div><div><br /></div><div>The illness and death of Tah-zay were not devoid of beneficial results, for the reason that they afforded the Indians with our party an opportunity to observe the civilized methods and customs of caring for the sick and preparing the dead for burial, as well as our funeral rites and ceremonies --all of which, under ordinary circumstances, were about the last things I would have thought of bringing to their particular attention.</div></blockquote><div></div></div><div>A succinct note in the <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/Taza/" target="_blank"><u>Washington Star</u> on September 28th</a> said that:</div><div><blockquote>Indian Agent Clum, of Arizona, has arrived here with a delegation of twenty-two Apache Indians, which he proposes to take to the Centennial. Three years ago these Indians, who are a part of Cochise's band, were exceedingly hostile, but now they are partially civilized. One of them, Taga [Taza], a son of Cochise, died Tuesday [Sept. 26] with pneumonia, and was buried yesterday [Sept. 27] in the Congressional Cemetery.</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUN6enRdu0B-VN2i6pzZOUtAPwbFEles8zwqaZ8vW_jRkNbRodKwx0CysnYnKlxYGE9k9sOSfU27yl7QPCKwdtotmrVu7BQAuZJdyBlPOffDfEy-7beui8yb4uT6L__xBLccH29Gc4w22DJpFElfEcZ5M2Ps9VZcSI4ZDnre6RY986E0Ds5O-umk2/s3264/DSCN0005-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="3264" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUN6enRdu0B-VN2i6pzZOUtAPwbFEles8zwqaZ8vW_jRkNbRodKwx0CysnYnKlxYGE9k9sOSfU27yl7QPCKwdtotmrVu7BQAuZJdyBlPOffDfEy-7beui8yb4uT6L__xBLccH29Gc4w22DJpFElfEcZ5M2Ps9VZcSI4ZDnre6RY986E0Ds5O-umk2/w400-h400/DSCN0005-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Taza was succeeded by his brother Naiche as paramount chief of the Chiricahua Apaches.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw6XBhGBeoDlyhEHz9QbA1wHl6UPUoI-80FD4nxtgGE29hIVX_fsVjg-KKGfcSw9b_n4df9FzarQXkl-99uv5rL5uARz4-OtH4Dhry59zf73DwA2AN5RYY83C8Aqd2vR0-4dD4IawW-ge0lDWWgbCDXtq1NaCPfgJaxbyrEX4E2NnHGQjpsg1vSMGT/s3264/DSCN0017-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw6XBhGBeoDlyhEHz9QbA1wHl6UPUoI-80FD4nxtgGE29hIVX_fsVjg-KKGfcSw9b_n4df9FzarQXkl-99uv5rL5uARz4-OtH4Dhry59zf73DwA2AN5RYY83C8Aqd2vR0-4dD4IawW-ge0lDWWgbCDXtq1NaCPfgJaxbyrEX4E2NnHGQjpsg1vSMGT/w400-h300/DSCN0017-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">But …</span>, this sculpture is not actually a likeness of Taza.

He was educated by private tutors, and at Georgetown college, D.C., 1849-56 ; was employed as a clerk in a Baltimore book store; taught school in Florida, and removed to Louisiana, where he became clerk to a shipping merchant. He was professor of English and the classics in Poydras college, Pointe Coupee parish. La., 1859-61. and contributed poems to the New Orleans Sunday <u>Delta</u>. His most famous poem, "My Maryland" which he wrote after reading the news of the passage of the Massachusetts volunteers through the streets of Baltimore, became popular throughout the South and gained him an international reputation. It was set to music by Mrs. Hettie (Cary) Martin of Baltimore to the German air “Tannebaum." He was married in December, 1864, to Katherine, daughter of Marcus and Harriet Hammond, and removed to Augusta, Ga., where he became editor of the Constitutionalist and subsequently of the Chronicle, of both of which papers he was the Washington correspondent during the successive sessions of congress. The honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by the University of Notre Dame, Ind., in 1899.

He planted orchards and sold the young trees to newly arriving settlers. Chapman would clear a patch of land “where he thought at a future day appletrees would be wanted; then, in the fall, repair to Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, and wash out of the pomace at cider mills a bushel or two of seeds, and return with them on his shoulder, plant them at the proper time, enclose the spot with a brush fence, and pay some attention to the cultivation” (Price 1967, p. 36).</div><div> </div><div>This basic endeavor—collect seeds at a mill, transport them beyond the frontier, and plant orchards to sell to future settlers—made Chapman a relatively wealthy man. In his lifetime, “...he had owned either by deed outright or on long-time lease no less than twenty-two properties totaling nearly twelve hundred acres. These holdings never represented great wealth, but they were considerably better than those of the average settler in the Middle West” (Price 1967, p. 224). </div><div><br /></div><div>Chapman's fortune grew by selling apple trees to settlers, but his trees also performed an important function. Depending on the location, apple trees were a formal or informal requirement for obtaining property rights to a piece of land. Selling apple trees to settlers was equivalent to selling them a stronger and better-defined property right.</div></blockquote><div></div></div><div>Michael Pollen emphasized that Johnny Appleseed was mainly supplying cider apples, bringing sugar, i.e. alcohol to the frontier, since apple trees grown from seed are unlikely to produce eating varieties of apple. John Chapman famously refused to graft apple trees, it is said out of empathy for the trees. </div><div><br /></div></div><div>John Chapman died on March 18, 1845. On March 22, his obituary appeared in the <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/JohnnyAppleseed/Obit/" target="_blank">Fort Wayne Weekly Sentinel</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>The penultimate verse of the Benét's poem says:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He has no statue.</span></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He has no tomb.</span></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He has his apple trees</span></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Still in bloom.</span></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><div><div><br /></div><div>In our day, there are at least one tomb, or grave marker, and several statues.

text-align: left;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Wilmeth Sidat-Singh , 1918-43</b> 208 - COM - 193</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Wilmeth Sidat-Singh became nationally known for his incredible athletic prowess. First at DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City (Alston's own alma mater) and then at Syracuse University, the adopted son of a Hindu physician generated raves from sportswriters and fans for his football and basketball abilities. During his collegiate career, the University of Maryland's football team threatened not to play Syracuse in a home game if that school attempted to play Sidat-Singh. Obligingly, Syracuse left him behind —and lost convincingly! Sidat-Singh avenged himself the following year when Maryland met Syracuse at Syracuse by playing a large role in Maryland's eventual defeat. Sidat-Singh went on to play professional basketball before entering military service. Despite the obstacles placed in the way of aspiring black fliers, he attended the Army Air Corps Flying School set up to train black navigators, flyers, and other flight personnel. He became a full-fledged member of the all black 332d Fighter Group (a unit that would serve with distinction in later combat overseas), and was stationed at Selfridge Field in Michigan when his plane crashed. A potentially brilliant career in professional football or basketball was thus tragically cut short. He, together with so many other black military personnel —before, after, and during the Second World War — willingly put their own lives on the line in wartime service, despite the fact that as the United States entered the war, racial segregation was still very much the order of the day. -- <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uga1.32108026816614?urlappend=%3Bseq=52%3Bownerid=117323095-54" target="_blank">Portraits in Black, 1992.</a></div></blockquote><p> Alston seems to have drawn the image from the photo below, which appears at <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8357410/wilmeth-sidat-singh" target="_blank">Find-a-Grave</a>, <a href="http://www.nww2m.com/tag/football-in-wwii/" target="_blank">The National WWII Museum</a>, and other places around the web.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibMA5Cn6b9ZlOn5CYTTO_b8gpRZ3wKh1ESpKzi1F7nR-QLwQj-Qa5OiPDN2A0bySjIrUaq3Ic5ZNsliskLobqe8Z77N0jnoR3zgh9L2KfsGztMBJXoeU0rZ2loeJpzAX30dIGB3jhuyAtDgGzYuByQMiSPVZbDXWsCBiQo01-wju1Axwr59KSvBpMA/s1075/WilmethSidat-Singh-Pilot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1075" data-original-width="714" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibMA5Cn6b9ZlOn5CYTTO_b8gpRZ3wKh1ESpKzi1F7nR-QLwQj-Qa5OiPDN2A0bySjIrUaq3Ic5ZNsliskLobqe8Z77N0jnoR3zgh9L2KfsGztMBJXoeU0rZ2loeJpzAX30dIGB3jhuyAtDgGzYuByQMiSPVZbDXWsCBiQo01-wju1Axwr59KSvBpMA/w426-h640/WilmethSidat-Singh-Pilot.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As a football player for Syracuse University, this picture of Sidat-Singh appeared in <u>The Crisis</u> in November of 1938.

In two years of football he has completed passes which have accounted for 14 touchdowns. </p><p>On November 12, Syracuse will play Duke University of Durham, N.

He was one of the first scholars to study the history of the African diaspora, including African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson has been called the “father of black history,” whose work not only established the contribution of African-Americans as significant in the history of America and beyond, but also inspired many others to continue his work.</blockquote><blockquote> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj39MJ4-CPnN8jkkrzd4o4EsqkDZD-nTBD5KpIou6UiC7G5dLJpguY3Tvntxg9z-d48KaEVo48UEjW8ouDRSXc9tpREpzbnmYZGiZeqIEFYalyJ2Dc4KXO6FJJzqCLpTY_1JZqBjcWt3CA-VKIpRyP23XCsQVzzouLf9VZDmOsrIBWW1OnURC5riX_a/s3498/P2960440-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2624" data-original-width="3498" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj39MJ4-CPnN8jkkrzd4o4EsqkDZD-nTBD5KpIou6UiC7G5dLJpguY3Tvntxg9z-d48KaEVo48UEjW8ouDRSXc9tpREpzbnmYZGiZeqIEFYalyJ2Dc4KXO6FJJzqCLpTY_1JZqBjcWt3CA-VKIpRyP23XCsQVzzouLf9VZDmOsrIBWW1OnURC5riX_a/w640-h480/P2960440-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Carter G.

Monitor. Cornelius S. Bushnell wrote that he “was able to get Daniel Drew and the Hon. K. D. Sperry, of New Haven, to sign our bond, the latter willing to do almost anything I said was necessary to help the cause. Long may he live, and enjoy the respect of our people.” (See <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=FLlAAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PP9&ots=QW0pBZuAkw&dq=%22The%20Original%20United%20States%20Warship%20%22Monitor.%22%22&pg=PA29#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">The Story of the Monitor by Cornelius S. Bushnell</a>.)</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Late in life, Daniel Drew was involved in an adventure, known as the Erie War, so financially arcane that I would not venture to try and explain it. I'll leave that to <a href="https://archive.org/details/appletonscyclopa02wils/page/231/mode/1up" target="_blank">Appleton's Encyclopedia</a>:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>In 1866 he was treasurer of the Erie railroad company, to which he lent the sum of $3,500,000, receiving as security $3,000,000 of shares of unused stock and $3,000,000 of bonds convertible into stock. He began to sell the stock "short " at the prevailing high price, Cornelius Vanderbilt and his adherents being the purchasers. When the contracts matured Drew converted the bonds into stock and threw into the market the 58,000 shares of stock that he possessed. The matter resulted in litigation, which drove Drew and his party to New Jersey, where they remained until the case was settled. Drew afterward lost heavily, and when the firm of Kenyon, Cox & Co., of which he was a partner, failed, he was compelled to make an assignment and ultimately to go into bankruptcy.</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">This engraving of a Brady photo from <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/DanielDrew/Harpers/RRWar.htm" target="_blank"><u>Harper's Weekly</u> April 11, 1868 Page 237</a>, in an article about the Erie War.

Blanche Kelso Bruce of Mississippi belongs to the Brady Handy collection at the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017895311/" target="_blank">Library of Congress</a>. The library describes Bruce as an “African American legislator”.<br /><br />Booker T. Washington described Blanche K. Bruce this way in his 1900 book <u><a href="https://archive.org/details/futureofamerican00wash_0/page/14/mode/1up" target="_blank">The Future of the American Negro</a>.</u></p><p></p><blockquote>I might name several characters who were brought before the world by reason of the reconstruction period. I give one as an example of others: Hon. Blanche K. Bruce, who had been a slave, but who held many honourable positions in the State of Mississippi, including an election to the United States Senate, where he served a full term; later he was twice appointed Register of the United States Treasury. In all these positions Mr. Bruce gave the greatest satisfaction, and not a single whisper of dishonesty or incompetency has ever been heard against him. During the period of his public life he was brought into active and daily contact with Northern and Southern white people, all of whom speak of him in the highest measure of respect and confidence.</blockquote>Blanche Bruce was one of two reconstruction-era African American U.S. Senators. The first was Hiram Revels who was sent in 1870 to fill one of the vacancies in the Senate left open since 1861. His term expired in March 1871. Bruce was elected by the Mississippi legislature in 1874 and served from 1875 to 1881. He is often described as the First African American to serve a complete term in the Senate. His 2001 senate portrait by Simmie Knox was commissioned in 1999. <div><br /></div><div>As senator, Bruce advanced a bill to desegregate the army.

He grew up in Virginia, Mississippi, and Missouri before escaping slavery during the Civil War. In 1869 Bruce moved back to Mississippi and became active in local and state politics. In Feb. 1874, the Mississippi legislature elected him to the U.S. Senate. Bruce was the first black to serve a full term in the Senate (1875-1881). After completing his term in office, he held several political positions in Washington, D.C. He died on 17 Mar. 1898 in Washington, D.C., and was interred there in Woodlawn Cemetery.</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>Bruce somehow acquired both education and aristocratic manners. Many sources point out that he was assigned to his master's son as companion and was educated by the son's tutor. It is alleged that Blanche Bruce may have been the natural son of Pettus Perkinson, his master, and he may have therefore received special favor from Perkinson. </div><div><br /></div><div>He inherited the name Bruce from his mother, Polly, who had belonged to the Bruce family from which Mrs. (Rebecca) Perkinson came. The <u>Concise Britannica Encyclopedia</u> says that “Born to a slave mother and a white father, he was educated by his father”. The <a href="https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/10029" target="_blank">House of Representatives web-site</a> says that:</div><div><blockquote>Bruce’s first name was originally “Branch,” but he changed it to “Blanche” as a teenager. For unexplained reasons, he later adopted the middle name “Kelso.”</blockquote><a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/BlancheBruce/NotedColoredMan.htm" target="_blank">The St. Paul Globe</a>, in 1887, tells the story differently:<br /><blockquote>It was forty-six years ago the first of March, 1841, when he was born and received the singular name which he has clung to although frequently importuned to change it to something that had more of the ring of masculinity about it. An old friend of his mother's was visiting the family prior to his appearance in this mundane sphere, and as her name was Blanche, it was decided that the baby should he called after her. Contrary to expectation, however, it was a boy child, but Mrs. Bruce persisted in her determination and named it Blanche.<br /><br />“I have been tempted frequently to drop the final c,” said the lecturer in discussing the matter with a representative of the Globe, “but eventually I came to the conclusion that I had made my reputation as Blanche K. Bruce and hence would stick to the name until I died.”</blockquote><p>This woodcut of Ex Sen. Bruce accompanied the Globe story.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWj52ZMF361fSepm2WtrVTt2RffCJIwmuPHVDRyspGPJ6Pm07R1DX0wJA_6IvvCt8-BiiniVvVAxWfxv2soUk81xdqNr7HzowPKnuASbA0OvIJNoycFOtDpQ5T5GBHA0hJdVCydTLW-vLe9UxyKzZDpW3XfeIa7XZyFgkpxTFsYMO3HyjPUhKfMHu/s2245/ExSenBruce-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2245" data-original-width="1597" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWj52ZMF361fSepm2WtrVTt2RffCJIwmuPHVDRyspGPJ6Pm07R1DX0wJA_6IvvCt8-BiiniVvVAxWfxv2soUk81xdqNr7HzowPKnuASbA0OvIJNoycFOtDpQ5T5GBHA0hJdVCydTLW-vLe9UxyKzZDpW3XfeIa7XZyFgkpxTFsYMO3HyjPUhKfMHu/w285-h400/ExSenBruce-1.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ex.

Hawthorne was his mother's maiden name (Mary Ann Hawthorne Winner), he also used the pseudonym Mark Mason. The modern popular consensus seems to be that the melody was as indicated above written by Richard “Whistling Dick” Milburn an African-American Philadelphia street musician. (See <a href="https://archive.nytimes.com/opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/listen-to-the-mockingbird/?_r=0" target="_blank">Ted Widmer's article in the New York Times, November 2013</a>.) In later years, however, Winner explicitly claimed to have written the music and taught it to Milburn, having been inspired by Milburn's whistling Mockingbird imitation. An 1893 article entitled <i><a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/SeptimusWinner/People'sSongs.htm" target="_blank">The People's Songs</a></i> quotes Winner:</div><div><blockquote>About this time there was a street character in Philadelphia known as Whistling Dick, an accomplishment in which he excelled, really making some beautiful music, to which he strummed an indifferent accompaniment on the guitar. One of his specialties was the imitation of a mocking bird, which suggested to me the composition of a ballad of that character, and “Listen to the Mocking Bird” was the result. It was written, to suit the small compass of Dick's whistle, to whom I taught it, and this whistling genius did much to start the song on its successful career. The song won its greatest popularity in the southern states, where it was taken up the colored people and sung far and wide. There are numerous young ladies in the United States today bearing the name “Hallie,” which was first used in this ballad. As the song was first published in the year 1855, it will be seen it is now nearly 40 years old. -- <u><a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/SeptimusWinner/People'sSongs.htm" target="_blank">The Fairhaven Herald</a></u>.</blockquote></div><div>The photo below, also by Gutekunst, constitutes the frontispiece of Winner's posthumously published collection of poems, <u>Cogitations of a Crank</u>, 1903.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsz7Wr67z9xnAdijm8uZLtucEnaTBYY0mpyCU3YRfYdjk4l5rK_vlTQ_7WE-63DEcPsHF53eaomPbYy8AwL2VJCVOF3lgCZRJTlZsX6dm7YjsLl2s8ASv_6Yy2Ff1fiNAOBpXH97RtiUEvW85G97CkcCSqjvsrl9S3-kPljU3G3gpQPMvyzTdNEz-E/s2049/SeptimusWinner-Crank-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2049" data-original-width="1207" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsz7Wr67z9xnAdijm8uZLtucEnaTBYY0mpyCU3YRfYdjk4l5rK_vlTQ_7WE-63DEcPsHF53eaomPbYy8AwL2VJCVOF3lgCZRJTlZsX6dm7YjsLl2s8ASv_6Yy2Ff1fiNAOBpXH97RtiUEvW85G97CkcCSqjvsrl9S3-kPljU3G3gpQPMvyzTdNEz-E/w378-h640/SeptimusWinner-Crank-1.jpg" width="378" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Septimus Winner</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRT3YRk9wMiHTzxwgxR4gO6ZGIGF80WsMKX85ZQsQ9SxYgCTUmO746_vTqOKz4ecVQtM1jR4m4E47GGBUhawH1rWEfP44WJTzkLt8f2_zZxoCTCiaf_FdEHcDbHce1RkSNMLJV85LUYKGlEGYgW2GhOYf8kBa_l19OymUrQ4nIajLOLJsvByrv1_X/s1001/SeptimusWinner-Crank-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="751" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRT3YRk9wMiHTzxwgxR4gO6ZGIGF80WsMKX85ZQsQ9SxYgCTUmO746_vTqOKz4ecVQtM1jR4m4E47GGBUhawH1rWEfP44WJTzkLt8f2_zZxoCTCiaf_FdEHcDbHce1RkSNMLJV85LUYKGlEGYgW2GhOYf8kBa_l19OymUrQ4nIajLOLJsvByrv1_X/w480-h640/SeptimusWinner-Crank-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Septimus Winner Photo by GuteKunst </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This photo, whose origin remains a mystery to me, shows a more youthful Sep Winner.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTR6eRaUC9En6Q7sWLJsiO6kLG78UuclgjMuv_hMFTtM89-UEYaHKbFKibfRUV8rQmUbh-vRNB_iRdBWx9YTgd51d498uFFKRsUV7UYnUj_7kUa5np_1ev57hd20Sf8Q76-X2Hu8MWndNDpZu1M8P8TbNTU4plZSkMDcbZaBVVriTe1VEScoyuuqG_/s1250/Winner_Sep-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="833" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTR6eRaUC9En6Q7sWLJsiO6kLG78UuclgjMuv_hMFTtM89-UEYaHKbFKibfRUV8rQmUbh-vRNB_iRdBWx9YTgd51d498uFFKRsUV7UYnUj_7kUa5np_1ev57hd20Sf8Q76-X2Hu8MWndNDpZu1M8P8TbNTU4plZSkMDcbZaBVVriTe1VEScoyuuqG_/w426-h640/Winner_Sep-1.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /> At the outset of the Civil War, in 1861, Winner wrote <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/MarylandMyMaryland/Alternate/Wartime/Winner.htm" target="_blank">a union version of “Maryland, My Maryland.”</a> But in 1862 after Lincoln replaced George B.

Performers including Julia Mortimer who was singing “Give Us Back Our Old Commander” on stage at Fords Theater, were warned that continuing to perform the song would be punished with imprisonment. The <a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200185362/" target="_blank">Library of Congress</a> says that:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>During the Civil War, he composed <i>Give Us Back Our Old Commander: Little Mac, the People's Pride</i>. It was intended as an appeal to President Abraham Lincoln to return Union General George McClellan to service. The song sold eighty thousand copies within a few days. It was branded anti-Union, however, and in 1862, Winner was court-martialed and jailed on a charge of treason. The charge was dropped after he agreed to destroy all remaining copies of the song. Shortly after Winner's release, he composed the popular <i>Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone</i>, set to the German folk-song melody, <i>Lauterbach</i>. -- <a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200185362/" target="_blank">LOC</a></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/SeptimusWinner/DerDietcher'sDog.htm" target="_blank">Der Dietcher's Dog</a></i> better known by its first line, “Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?” is a much darker piece than we all remember.

Wikipedia summarizes the story this way:<div><blockquote>In January 1849, Upham sailed on The <i>Osceola</i> to San Francisco, via Rio de Janeiro and Talcahuana, arriving in California on August 5, 1849, and participating in the California Gold Rush. Proving unsuccessful as a gold miner, Upham moved to Sacramento and founded the Sacramento Transcript, California's first daily newspaper published outside San Francisco. Becoming homesick in 1850, he sold his shares in the newspaper and travelled back to Philadelphia.</blockquote><p>Here's an 1885 carte-de-visite of "Samuel C.

At the outset of the war, he ran a small shop in Philadelphia were he sold perfumes, stationary, newspapers etc. He published a variety of patriotic and satirical novelty items including a <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/JeffersonDavis/Going&Returning.htm" target="_blank">topsy-turvy portrait of Jefferson Davis</a> and a fold-in comic entitled "<a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/SamuelUpham/Beauregard/Charger.htm" target="_blank">The Adventures of General Beauregard and his Charger.</a>" In both cases the subject is transformed into a mule. </p><p>The story is told that one day (February 24, 1862), Upham noticed that the Philadelphia Inquirer was selling out quickly from his shop and when he looked into it he found that the Inquirer had a fac-simile of a Confederate Bill printed on the front page. Someone remarked that the fac-simile was perhaps worth more than the original.

Breckinridge. </blockquote><p>"Bivouac of the Dead" is O'Hara's homage to his fallen comrades of the Mexican War. He may have presented the poem at the Frankfort Cemetery as early as 1847 when John C. Breckenridge spoke there or the first presentation may have been in 1850 in the same cemetery. J. A. Du Puy, in 1913, says the first reading was in a saloon in Frankfort.</p><p></p><blockquote>O'Hara was asked by the Governor of Kentucky to write and read a poem upon the occasion of the burial of these, his comrades. In the office of the Yeoman in Frankfort, the lines that now are scattered throughout were penned. In a little saloon across the street from the statehouse they were first read and the auditors were former comrades at arms and young bloods there assembled. Those who heard pronounced the poem good and on the following day this, the greatest poem of its kind ever written, was read over the remains of the Kentucky soldiers who had died in Mexico. -- <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/TheodoreO-Hara/PoetLaureate.htm" target="_blank">J.

The federal government has so designated him. In every national cemetery, from Arlington, Va., to Custer's battlefield, Montana, and back again to where the fighting men of the United States sleep, in the city of Mexico, are to be read the couplets of this poet, placed there by the government. For, in all these cemeteries, Uncle Sam has sought to place tablets that express most adequately the reverence of those who survive for the heroes who have died in battle. And, searching the whole world of literature, he found no poem that so far outshone all else that all the tablets in all the cemeteries contain lines from that poem and nothing else.</blockquote><p></p><p>Here's one of those iron tablets in the Battleground Cemetery in Washington, DC.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But it is the neutrality of “The Bivouac of the Dead” that made it suitable for both Union and Confederate graves in the post Civil War reconciliation era. </div><div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A 1921 History of the Frankfort Cemetery by Lewis Franklin Johnson, locates O'Hara's grave this way.</div></div></div></div><div><blockquote>On the military mound south of the State monument is the tomb of a soldier, editor, lawyer and poet, with the simple inscription of “Theodore O’Hara, Major A. D. C. ; died June the 8th, 1867,” and of recent date there has been added the further inscription “Author of the Bivouac of the Dead.” No other poem has ever been written that can stir to such depth the martial spirit of Kentuckians.</blockquote><p>O'Hara was originally buried in Georgia.

On the front of the stone in bas-relief is an exquisite harp; beneath it is inscribed, “Theodore 0'Hara,” and beneath his name this verse, which refers to the military monument directly in front of the tablet:</p>“Yon marble minstrel's voiceful stone,<br /> In deathless song shall tell,<br />When many a vanished year hath flown,<br /> The story how ye fell;<br />Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight,<br /> Nor time's remorseless doom,<br />Can dim one ray of holy light<br /> That gilds your glorious tomb.”<p>Beneath this verse are the words, “Erected by the Kentucky State Historical Society;' on the reverse side-facing the Sarcophagus—at the top is a pen with a palm branch resting lightly on it, and beneath, the other two eight line stanzas:</p>“The muffled drum's sad roll has beat<br /> The soldier's last tattoo;<br />No more on life's parade shall meet<br /> That brave and fallen few;<br />On Fame's eternal camping ground<br /> Their silent tents are spread,<br />And glory guards with solemn round,<br /> The Bivouac of the Dead.<br /></blockquote><blockquote>“Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead,<br /> Dear as the blood ye gave;<br />No Impious footsteps here shall tread<br /> The herbage of your grave<br />Nor shall your glory be forgot<br /> While Fame her record keeps<br />Or Honor points the hallowed spot<br /> Where Valor proudly sleeps.” </blockquote><p></p><p>In 2018, Cosmos Mariner at HMdb took this photo of the 1913 tablet with O'Hara's name and the final verse of Bivouac of the Dead on one side.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUliCAy5sPsvFcORE3XZaEPWLU-O5ACxR0sRrq9AUEbOBEc0Lh5p22hsbgf7cJutrgiWWd7PAgZPzFmFTYyhClPBIEslA0AOSUC4-4E6IKpnXPUZfv3_3VMM9P4m1xu5w1MMCnXvWoTHa8isxaqReJF0zT2FsRCD_cIirZMV9Ac8qXjZqDntfcDUme/s4552/OHara-Mariner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4552" data-original-width="3208" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUliCAy5sPsvFcORE3XZaEPWLU-O5ACxR0sRrq9AUEbOBEc0Lh5p22hsbgf7cJutrgiWWd7PAgZPzFmFTYyhClPBIEslA0AOSUC4-4E6IKpnXPUZfv3_3VMM9P4m1xu5w1MMCnXvWoTHa8isxaqReJF0zT2FsRCD_cIirZMV9Ac8qXjZqDntfcDUme/w452-h640/OHara-Mariner.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div></div><blockquote><div></div><blockquote><div></div></blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: center;">Erected by the</div><div style="text-align: center;">Kentucky State Historical Society 1913.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div>Notice that in this version of the poem, the stone is "voiceful," it is "voiceless" in other versions.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the obverse of the marker are the first and the penultimate verse of the famous poem.

He worked on various periodicals and published four books of verse before the appearance of his first novel, <u>Crome Yellow</u> (1921). The novels <u>Antic Hay</u> (1923) and <u>Point Counter Point </u>(1928), both of which illustrate the nihilistic temper of the 1920s, and <u>Brave New World</u> (1932), an ironic vision of a future utopia, established<b> Huxley</b>’s fame. During the 1920s he lived largely in Italy and France. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1937. Among his more than 45 books are the volumes of essays <i>Jesting Pilate</i> (1926), <i>Ends and Means</i> (1937), <i>Tomorrow and Tomorrow and <u>Tomorrow</u></i> (1956), <i>Brave New World Revisited</i> (1958), and <i>Literature and Science</i> (1963). Other novels include <u>Eyeless in Gaza</u> (1936), <u>After Many a Summer Dies the Swan</u> (1939), <u>Ape and Essence </u>(1948), and <u>Island</u> (1962). <b>Huxley</b> also wrote on science, philosophy, and social criticism. Important nonfiction works include <u>The Art of Seeing</u> (1932), <u>The Perennial Philosophy</u> (1946), and <u>The Devils of Loudon</u> (1952). <u>The Doors of Perception</u> (1954) and its sequel <u>Heaven and Hell</u> (1956) deal with <b>Huxley</b>’s experiences with hallucinogenic drugs.</blockquote><p>Britain's National Gallery of Art has an autographed cigarette card of Huxley as well as the Howard Coster photo after which it was fashioned.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-84EgWj1x5Ep_apoCckyl6NQK25wMgzFL5kAq96Vhz1J22nxd3G-JwBQg_l17Aw1OND-ISATxMiKR7TcoDShSXRls9CNdMhvLIEYS1LdBGyDeIKDj7Uu34oqQDjNSLGXD3Rd6DH_2y6y3GcDt3Fn-mNsu_DsYz4kAp-PRyByIIr7NiD8rt2WMPDN/s1014/Will'sCigarettes-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="803" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-84EgWj1x5Ep_apoCckyl6NQK25wMgzFL5kAq96Vhz1J22nxd3G-JwBQg_l17Aw1OND-ISATxMiKR7TcoDShSXRls9CNdMhvLIEYS1LdBGyDeIKDj7Uu34oqQDjNSLGXD3Rd6DH_2y6y3GcDt3Fn-mNsu_DsYz4kAp-PRyByIIr7NiD8rt2WMPDN/w506-h640/Will'sCigarettes-1.jpg" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Will's Cigarettes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1937</div><br /> <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfARb5xGTLSfzWWGw-viWE6Y7ETyi2aL6hJEGrD21jPUzFR-tljogPRJHV4xYo-71QMOuYb6D28MXyLdAsK7suhesUXEB9jxp5MCnH4mcjMAuMSKm-u8JQ-6J00P5BwQ3XaFUCcgmOafyy5OcMV8eOMv2PPtUjxjLqZocG5HkpMAotz2Y9RpTiYpOH/s1050/Huxley-Coster.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="846" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfARb5xGTLSfzWWGw-viWE6Y7ETyi2aL6hJEGrD21jPUzFR-tljogPRJHV4xYo-71QMOuYb6D28MXyLdAsK7suhesUXEB9jxp5MCnH4mcjMAuMSKm-u8JQ-6J00P5BwQ3XaFUCcgmOafyy5OcMV8eOMv2PPtUjxjLqZocG5HkpMAotz2Y9RpTiYpOH/w516-h640/Huxley-Coster.jpg" width="516" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Aldous Huxley</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">by Howard Coster</div><div><div style="text-align: center;">1934</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>The same photo appeared in <u><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/17/aldous-huxley-short-of-sight" target="_blank">The New Yorker</a>,</u> in 2003, attributed as “Photograph by Ullstein Bild / Getty.” </div><div><br /></div><div>The caricature below accompanied a Libravox recording of <u>The Defeat of Youth and Other Poems.</u> It gives Huxley a similar treatment emphasizing his youth and his thick glasses.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEithGVPBv9I3Dtp0tIiaCO4zcxVaTu4Yi8d_E01T6CTnM7YcCfM7lP8z5GEhn1w5wjPhHt3hk6UMwR7dDBMUATKAn58fnSnFsb6W3LX3QJrJFYA0lVJi-8qB1Hd6uoJElFnXfmW7P6CCNX9kATFUf8WWTSYG8gI13q9QulsqbSOu1XKrW6dEVzMHsce/s4447/Defeat.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4447" data-original-width="3335" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEithGVPBv9I3Dtp0tIiaCO4zcxVaTu4Yi8d_E01T6CTnM7YcCfM7lP8z5GEhn1w5wjPhHt3hk6UMwR7dDBMUATKAn58fnSnFsb6W3LX3QJrJFYA0lVJi-8qB1Hd6uoJElFnXfmW7P6CCNX9kATFUf8WWTSYG8gI13q9QulsqbSOu1XKrW6dEVzMHsce/w480-h640/Defeat.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>This 1948 from <u>The Evening Sta</u>r shows a more mature Huxley without his glasses.<p></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-ByYvTJ8DEZYV8e6jGElTlcn8hGcrZnR4ZvQbR6v2nny1a6616ElfbAgcPqbXJYicZjxT_zfUTlsrAzauYmtYcpMsq3IqXh9QfEAR8itz6Djv0FLsn3RtS9kDoJdTrXBHzfiSwNIIVQI_sUAQntCxw_NRyDXUTiJmOqIPqIIgkb3dZQqge4al_wo/s1818/ShatteredWorld-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1818" data-original-width="1174" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-ByYvTJ8DEZYV8e6jGElTlcn8hGcrZnR4ZvQbR6v2nny1a6616ElfbAgcPqbXJYicZjxT_zfUTlsrAzauYmtYcpMsq3IqXh9QfEAR8itz6Djv0FLsn3RtS9kDoJdTrXBHzfiSwNIIVQI_sUAQntCxw_NRyDXUTiJmOqIPqIIgkb3dZQqge4al_wo/w414-h640/ShatteredWorld-1.jpg" width="414" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>This dramatic 1956 photo by Sanford Roth also omits the glasses.

Hancock and the statue.</div><div><blockquote>After graduating from West Point in 1844 and serving in the Mexican War, Winfield Scott Hancock (1824-1886) went on to military fame during the Civil War. At the Battle of Gettysburg, he was shot off his horse, but continued to command his Union troops and eventually defeated the Confederate army's attack.

His education was attained at St. John’s School in Frederick, at Clongowa Wood College in Ireland, and at the Jesuit College in England, where he graduated in 1839. He later studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1842, and then established his legal career in Frederick County. Lowe entered politics in 1845, serving as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates. He was elected governor of Maryland by a popular vote on October 2, 1850 and was sworn into office on January 6, 1851. During his tenure, the State Constitution of 1851 was ratified; construction on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio River was completed; the office of comptroller of the treasury was created; election law amendments were supported; the state deficit was reduced; and criminal code revisions were recommended. After completing his term, Lowe left office on January 11, 1854. He later served as a Democratic presidential elector in 1860, and supported the Confederacy during the Civil War. Governor Enoch Louis Lowe passed away on August 23, 1892, and was buried at the St. John’s Catholic Cemetery in Frederick, Maryland. -- <a href="https://www.nga.org/governor/enoch-louis-lowe/" target="_blank">NGA</a></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">Enoch Louis Lowe was born at <i><a href="https://www.nps.gov/mono/learn/historyculture/hermitage.htm" target="_blank">L'Hermitage</a></i>, his maternal ancestral home, now part of the Monocacy Battlefield. His mother (Adelaide) was the sister of Victoire Vincendière mistress of <i>L'Hermitage. </i> The Vincendières fled the Haitian revolution in San Domingo and went to Paris where Adelaide was born. When Adelaide was only 4 years old, and Victoire was 19, the Vincendières came to Maryland and set up their plantation, <i>L'Hermitage</i>. Victoire became the head of the household.

The late Enoch Louis Lowe, formerly Governor of Maryland, whose wife was formerly Miss Esther Polk, of Baltimore, and who is now residing in that city, also lived there. Governor Lowe’s mother was of the Vincendiere family. Dr. Charles Smith purchased the property from the Lowes in 1861. </blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">E. Louis Lowe was sent to Ireland and England for a Jesuit education. After some travels he returned to Frederick and was admitted to the bar in 1842 at the age of 21. In 1844 he married Esther Polk a noted beauty.

Louis Lowe's politics were Democratic. As Buchholz says,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>He espoused the Democratic creed, and in 1845 came before the people of Frederick county as that party's candidate for the state Legislature. His campaign accomplished two things for young Lowe— it resulted in his election to the House of Delegates and it gave him a little reputation as speaker.</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">The <u>Cecil Whig</u> repeatedly refers to him as a “Locofoco” Democrat, it's beyond me whether that's intended as a fair description or as an insult. One political question of the day was the proposal for a new Maryland constitution. <a href="http://portraits.allenbrowne.info/EnochLouisLowe/Magruder-1910.htm" target="_blank">Magruder</a> explains:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>Maryland was living under the provisions of an instrument completed in convention November 11th, 1776, and never submitted to the people. On twelve occasions it had been changed and it was thought too heavy with amendments, and too antiquated for the requirements of a progressive state. Lowe ardently advocated the policy of Governor Philip Francis Thomas, and by his fluency of language and strength of argument won many friends to his cause and to himself.</blockquote><p>Lowe ran for and won the Governorship in 1850. He was only 29 during the campaign and attained the statutory age of 30 just before his election. In the midst of the campaign when he was asked “How old are you?” he evasively replied “A wife and four children.” Lowe took office on January 6th, 1851 and the new constitution was adopted on June 4, 1851. Among other things, like reapportionment, the new constitution separated Baltimore City from Baltimore County. Lowe served a 3 year term as governor, from January1851 to January 1854, in accord with the provisions of the old constitution. The new constitution extended the term of the governor to 4 years.</p><p>His 1855 portrait by Otto Eckhardt belongs to the Maryland State Art Collection.

And when the war closed, with its defeat of all that the South had hoped for, he silently folded his tent and stole as silently from the stage of public life. He left behind him the scenes where he had witnessed the downfall of the Confederacy; he left behind him the scenes where he had won his earliest honors in his native State of Maryland, and during the last several decades of his life resided In Brooklyn, N.Y. practicing law and avoiding as much as possible publicity.</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">E.

She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1850. Washington McLean was the owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer and was a prominent figure in the Democratic Party. Mildred McLean married General William B. Hazen, a career soldier of Civil War and Indian War fame, in 1871. They had a daughter who died in infancy and a son who died at the age of twenty-two in 1898. General Hazen died in 1887. Mildred Hazen became a fixture of Washington, D.C., society and married Admiral George Dewey in 1899. Mrs. Dewey died February 21, 1931.</blockquote>The Dewey's marriage was widely covered by the newspapers.

She was educated in France and Germany, but it was her familial background that greatly shaped her adult life. Upon returning to America, she became known as the Daughter of the Confederacy, and she was first introduced as such to crowds of Georgia veterans in 1886. Inspired by Davis, a network of women's groups adopted the name National Association of the Daughters of the Confederacy in 1894 (subsequently United Daughters of the Confederacy). Working as a writer in New York City with her widowed mother, Winnie eventually published two moderately successful books. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Commemorating Southern culture and their cause in the Civil War, this work pictures Jefferson Davis's home, a portrait of Winnie, and a daughter of a Confederate veteran decorating the portrait of the “deceased chief.” -- NPG Museum Label.</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03nRyRgv1eWlCFsgyrFwErIT7cDcAoD6U4lASPp3j9kNmp-yLjhTFhlGqP7lMji6nHUS67bvtULlYb2HymdcQ7hezZez9Nllg8ThkUl5XNDy7V4nZ38cd0dZ82zSHJ13UAObPyfpvj7CCpyxHPHqk1EqN8WsMNuK_vWh8GOR7NT0mfgGWOx4nyzG1/s7498/Leslies-Dec211889-p353.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7498" data-original-width="5286" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03nRyRgv1eWlCFsgyrFwErIT7cDcAoD6U4lASPp3j9kNmp-yLjhTFhlGqP7lMji6nHUS67bvtULlYb2HymdcQ7hezZez9Nllg8ThkUl5XNDy7V4nZ38cd0dZ82zSHJ13UAObPyfpvj7CCpyxHPHqk1EqN8WsMNuK_vWh8GOR7NT0mfgGWOx4nyzG1/w452-h640/Leslies-Dec211889-p353.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><u>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</u>, December 21, 1889, Page 353.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jefferson Davis, Winnie's father, died on December 6, 1889, interrupting her courtship with New York attorney Alfred “Fred” Wilkinson.

Shepherd first headed the Citizens Reform Association which demanded a governor for the city. President Grant and Congress agreed, but opposition to Shepherd prevented him from being named governor and Grant instead appointed him to a seat on the Board of Public Works in 1871. At Public Works, Shepherd made many improvements to the city, some of them controversial, and many with the help of his business associates. In 1872, citizens asked Congress to investigate the Board of Public Works, but Shepherd was not charged with any wrong doing. In 1873 Grant appointed him governor, but by this time it was discovered that the Board of Public Works had over spent, and he himself was in financial straights, and he soon fell out of favor with the citizens. In 1880 he moved to Mexico where he was to regained his fortune.</blockquote><p> They describe the statue's movement around the city over the years.</p><p></p><blockquote>The sculpture was originally installed at the entrance to the District of Columbia Building. It remained there until 1931 when, due to construction of the Federal Triangle, it was moved to the plaza across the street from the District Building at 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue. In 1979, the sculpture again had to be moved due to construction. It was boxed up and placed in storage for three years, possibly at the Blue Plains Sewage Treatment Plant, and in 2005 was installed outside the District Building, renamed the John A. Wilson Building in 1994. </blockquote><p>The Wilson Building was the first of the Beaux Arts buildings in the Federal Triangle. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfMmfL_oiyLV3DbaP0z6O4YGj1PMr2AILRXQpedBnEGckEjlI-bKftdOyOnkd0gXYHAXq4w4Q8HRIkCCZXLyOVbU3vRsbT6f3I8v56EEzFLLgqcqlNxuty4l8JHFifFSdWttjAc4hVijZ_yUqV9b8HRVWaFQZ6Oj7LiecluMANdsOiE6V8DiIui4S/s3992/P1950962-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2332" data-original-width="3992" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfMmfL_oiyLV3DbaP0z6O4YGj1PMr2AILRXQpedBnEGckEjlI-bKftdOyOnkd0gXYHAXq4w4Q8HRIkCCZXLyOVbU3vRsbT6f3I8v56EEzFLLgqcqlNxuty4l8JHFifFSdWttjAc4hVijZ_yUqV9b8HRVWaFQZ6Oj7LiecluMANdsOiE6V8DiIui4S/w640-h374/P1950962-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Wilson Building</div><p>Although is was completed in 1908, the date over the front door is 1904.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYdIYKk9vO6XMdffaTTCXpX3sunrX45KOMI4k8Cg8of-fQayGwf39fXS0T16g4BcGD6cdbABOmY-KeXNMt2VTUrVtTPh5Bnc_yiFb0ybiKIClHN06YDCAIthk3p_6PPAeThrppwdZHHs6FQT_ozN3fKczs--b79d6skGEHrpCgJ-OptPM2sYRha76/s3782/P1950993-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2997" data-original-width="3782" height="509" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYdIYKk9vO6XMdffaTTCXpX3sunrX45KOMI4k8Cg8of-fQayGwf39fXS0T16g4BcGD6cdbABOmY-KeXNMt2VTUrVtTPh5Bnc_yiFb0ybiKIClHN06YDCAIthk3p_6PPAeThrppwdZHHs6FQT_ozN3fKczs--b79d6skGEHrpCgJ-OptPM2sYRha76/w640-h509/P1950993-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">MCMIV</div> <br />This photo of Alexander R.

He was known as el Caballero de los Mares (Spanish for “Gentleman of the Seas”) for his kind and chivalrous treatment of defeated enemies and is esteemed by both Peruvians and Chileans. He is an iconic figure for the Peruvian Navy, and one of the most famous merchant marine and naval military leaders of the Americas. </blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Admiral Grau was blown to bits by an exploding shell on October 8, 1879 at the Battle of Angamos. </p><p style="text-align: left;">One popular image of Admiral Grau is on the 5,000 intis note.
