The painting shown below was the subject of a. At the Library of Virginia. Slaves Waiting for Sale. By Eyre Crowe (1861). Much of the injustice associated with buying and selling human beings is captured in this paining, and historians have done a fine job over the past half century to bring this tragic era of human history to l...

Spotsylvania Civil War Blog: Gettysburg's Harvest of Death - The Conclusion

http://spotsylvaniacw.blogspot.com/2012/10/gettysburgs-harvest-of-death-conclusion.html

Spotsylvania Civil War Blog. Friday, October 12, 2012. Gettysburg's Harvest of Death - The Conclusion. Upon returning home with my findings in November, I began what would be my first of a series of posts that sought to add further support to the work of Scott Hartwig. My assertion that the Thompson House was visible, and thus supported Scott's work, was quickly shot down by Mr. Adelman, and a form letter of sorts made its way around Civil War web addresses, titled. One side of Gibson's stereo view with ...

The House on Caroline Street: Mr. Corbin Courts Nannie

http://thehouseoncarolinestreet.blogspot.com/2011/01/mr-corbin-courts-nannie.html

The House on Caroline Street. Thursday, January 13, 2011. Mr Corbin Courts Nannie. The following is from Leaves From an Old Washington Diary, 1854-1863 by Elizabeth Lindsay Lomax, first published in 1943, edited by Lindsay Lomax Wood. Friday, February 29, 1856. Mr Corbin is on a courting expedition and seems a trifle nervous - He is very attentive to Nannie Maury, but as yet no one knows if she smiles upon his suit or not - I imagine he is uncertain of his own fate.

I had my camera with me, but the pictures were out of focus. I discovered that a button on the lens had been moved from its autofocus spot. I have now put it back in the correct place, so hopefully my return trips will yield focused photos. I wish I wish the photo of the dog footprints had turned out. This Republic ...

The House on Caroline Street. Monday, December 10, 2007. Diary of Betty Herndon Maury - June 3, 1861. Diary of Betty Herndon Maury. At Cousin John Minor’s. A diary, faithfully kept in such eventful times as these, must be interesting to our children even though it be indifferently written. I commenced one about three weeks ago at our home in Washington, but in the hurry and confusion of getting off it was forgotten. Upon second application General Scott gave a pass to Will – first inquiring whether...
