For most of America’s history, from colonial days to the 1890s, keeping the content of your vote secret was almost impossible. There was no expectation that the vote should be secret and little understanding of how this could be accomplished even if it were a good idea. Many people – and not just political operatives – thought secrecy was not a good idea. In those days there was no model for structuring elections so they could be private individual matters, conducted quietly inside public buildings, with votes cast while hidden red, white, and blue striped curtains. That is not the way US elections were conducted. The alternative – today’s secret ballot – with which we are now so familiar had yet to be invented, or, as it turned out, imported into American politics.
All elections for most of America’s history were organized to be non-secret. They were public events with individual voting occurring in plain sight of the crowds that election days once attracted. They were the culmination of weeks of excited electioneering. In large cities, they were public spectacles, with torchlight parades and the large scale public “illuminations,” so popular in the Victorian era [ see article ]. In rural places, election days often coincided with markets and sale days. In both contexts, crowds of voters and non-voters, the eligible and the ineligible, young and old, men and (some) women gathered at pubic polling places and watched as the voters, one by one, stepped out from the crowd to vote [link to Krimmell painting and permission].
And as those men (for in almost all places only men could vote before 1918) stepped forward, it was almost always the case that the contents of their votes, their individual political choices, were identified by sight or sound and known to every person in the throng that assembled before the voting place. Here was a public festival during which you could learn a good deal about your friends and neighbors, your boss, or your employee. Seeing or hearing the individual votes as they were given revealed the tide of partisan battle. Political operatives could figure out what might yet be done to alter that outcome in the remainder of the day.
To be sure, there were efforts in some places at some times (California in the 1870s and Massachusetts in the 1850s being the prime examples) to develop a more private manner of voting. But discovering what secrecy meant and how it could be institutionalized remained, even in reform-minded places, a great puzzle. The “secret-ballot,” a.k.a the “Australian ballot,” was an import (arriving only in the 1890s) from Australia via Britain [link to Boston ballot]. It transformed America’s Election Day by privatizing, but also bureaucratizing, sanitizing, and individualizing what had once been a dramatic public event. From that moment on:
· Elections would be indoors, run by government officials in a public building
· Instead of competing party tickets, there would be a single state-produced ballot
· The ballot would contain the names of all candidates (with room for write-ins)
· The voter would mark the ballot in a private booth and deposit it with no identifying marks.
But until that happened – in the 1890s – all American elections were conducted in one of two ways: by voice or by ticket. These methods of conducting elections were specifically designed NOT to be private, but unapologetically to reveal, especially to party operatives, each voter’s political choices. The party wanted the voter to know which ticket he was supporting, and the party wanted to know that too. The public dimension of voting was important to some political thinkers and many political operatives, alarming to a few reformers, and accepted by the many as the way elections had always been conducted.
By the middle of the nineteenth century most states (the US Constitution makes the conduct of all elections, even congressional and presidential elections, a state power) had opted for voting by a ballot rather than by voice. The ‘ballot” became the party-issued printed ticket listing that party’s designated slate of candidates for all offices being contested. Voting in this manner meant depositing, in public, the party ticket into a ballot box. That ticket, as we will see in the essay “How the Other Half (plus) Voted: The Party Ticket States” [link to this essay], was very distinctively marked and colored and voters were identified by the “the color of their ticket.”
The other way of voting, still employed by seven states in the mid-nineteenth century, was by voice – viva voce. Voting in a viva voce state required you to go to the polling place and read out, or recite if you couldn’t read, the names of the candidates you wished to support.
Both modes of voting produced the same result: all individual votes were knowable in that they could either be seen (party-tickets) or be heard (viva voce). This was the common theme of all elections in America’s political history until the threshold of the twentieth century. And it made sense: in those times political choices were understood to be communal, not private, matters. Voting to advance private individual interests calls for secrecy – but public voting made perfect sense when politics was understood to be about group or communal interests.

The first women's rights convention in the U.S. took place in Seneca Falls, New York. Convened by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and others active in the anti-slavery movement, it resulted in a Declaration of Sentiments modeled on the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration demanded a variety of rights for women, including suffrage.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first woman to run for the U.S. House of Representatives, even though she was not eligible to vote. She ran as an Independent from New York State, receiving 24 votes of 12,000 that were cast.
Victoria Woodhull, a stockbroker, publisher, and protégé of Cornelius Vanderbilt, ran for president of the United States on the Equal Rights Party ticket.

Oskaloosa, Kansas became the first town in the United States known to have an all-woman government, with the mayor and entire council being female. The council included Mayor Mary D. Lowman, and Councilmembers Carrie Johnson, Sadie E. Balsley, Hanna P. Morse, Emma K. Hamilton, and Mittie Josephine Golden. One year prior, in 1887, voters in Syracuse, Kansas elected women to all five seats of the city council, but a man served as mayor.
Frances Warren of Wyoming became the first woman delegate to a Republican National Convention. In the same year, Elizabeth Cohen of Utah was chosen as an alternate to the Democratic National Convention. When another delegate became ill, Cohen became the first woman delegate to a Democratic National Convention.
Jeannette Rankin, a Republican from Montana became the first woman ever elected to Congress. She served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1917 to 1919 and again from 1941 to 1942; a pacifist, she was the only lawmaker to vote against U.S. entry into both world wars.
Rebecca Latimer Felton, a Georgia Democrat, became the first woman appointed to the Senate, but only served one day. While she was a suffragist, fully embracing equality of the sexes, she was also an outspoken white supremacist and advocate of segregation who spoke out in favor of lynching.
Florence Ellinwood Allen was elected Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, the first woman elected to the highest court in any state. She had previously been the first woman assistant county prosecutor in the country and the first woman elected to a judicial office in Ohio. Later, she became the first woman appointed to a federal appeals court judgeship.
Bertha K. Landes, Republican city council president at the time, became acting mayor of Seattle, the first woman to lead a major American city. Two years later she was elected mayor in her own right in a campaign run by women.
In 1925, Texas Governor Pat Neff faced a dilemma: a fraternal organization had a case before the Texas Supreme Court, but all the justices, and nearly every eligible judge and lawyer in the state, were members of the organization and were required to recuse themselves. His solution was to seat a special session of an all-woman Texas Supreme Court, consisting of Hortense Sparks Ward, Ruth Virginia Brazzil, and Hattie Lee Hennenberg. It remains the only all-woman state supreme court in history.
Nellie Tayloe Ross, a Wyoming Democrat, became the nation's first woman governor, elected to replace her deceased husband. She served for two years. Later, she became vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and director of the U.S. Mint. At the 1928 Democratic National Convention, she received 31 votes on the first ballot for Vice President.
Hattie Wyatt Caraway (D-AR), appointed in 1931 to fill a vacancy caused by her husband's death, ran for a full term and became the first woman elected to the Senate, where she served two full terms. She was the first woman to chair a Senate committee – the Committee on Enrolled Bills, a minor post.
Ruth Bryan Owen, a former congresswoman, became the first woman to hold a major diplomatic post when she was appointed by President Roosevelt as minister to Denmark. She held that post until 1936, when her marriage to a Dane and resulting dual citizenship made her ineligible to serve.
Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) became the first woman elected to the Senate without having first been appointed to serve. Smith had first come to Congress when elected to fill her deceased husband's House seat; she went on to be elected to the Senate in her own right. With her election to the Senate, Smith also became the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress.
Charlotta Spears Bass was the first Black woman nominee for vice president in the United States. She ran on the Progressive Party ticket, which received less than one percent of the popular vote in the 1952 presidential election.
Consuelo Bailey, a Vermont Republican, became the first woman ever elected lieutenant governor of a state. In that role, she served as president of the state Senate. Since she had previously served as speaker of the state House of Representatives, she thus became the only woman in the country ever to preside over both chambers of a state legislature.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith, a Maine Republican, was nominated for the presidency by Vermont Senator George Aiken at the Republican national convention. Smith had campaigned briefly for the post, limiting herself to periods when the Senate was not in session. Elected to the House of Representatives in 1940 (to replace her dying husband) and the Senate in 1948, Smith had already made history by becoming the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress.
Patsy Takemoto Mink, a Democrat from Hawaii, became the first woman of color and the first woman of Asian-Pacific Islander descent in the U.S. House of Representatives. She served until 1977 and was re-elected in 1990.
Sophia Mitchell was appointed mayor of Rendville, Ohio, becoming the first Black woman in the country known to serve as mayor of a municipality. She served for at least two more terms, although she noted in a later interview that she never ran for the position and stayed on because no one else wanted the role.
Jean Westwood was named by presidential nominee George McGovern to chair the Democratic National Committee. The first woman to hold that position, she served until just after the election, when she was replaced by Robert Strauss.
Congresswoman Patsy Mink agreed to have her name appear on the Oregon presidential ballot to provide a platform to discuss opposition to the Vietnam War, force previous Democratic front-runner George McGovern to resume his antiwar focus, and hold the state’s liberal votes together until its delegates reached the convention that summer. Mink received more than five thousand votes in the Oregon primary on May 23 and smaller numbers in Maryland (573) and Wisconsin (913). She made no effort to have her name placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention.
Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm ran for president in the Democratic primaries. At the party's national convention, she garnered 151.25 delegate votes before Senator George McGovern clinched the nomination. At the same convention, Frances (Sissy) Farenthold, a former Texas state legislator who twice ran for governor of that state, finished second in the balloting for the Vice Presidential nomination, receiving more than 400 votes.
Lelia Foley-Davis was elected mayor of Taft, Oklahoma. She was widely cited in national news reports at the time as the nation's first elected Black woman mayor. While she is not technically the first (see the 1971 timeline entry on Ellen Walker Craig-Jones), she is one of the very first Black women to serve as mayor of a municipality in the country and the first Black woman to serve as mayor of an all-Black town.
Julia Cooper Mack was appointed by President Gerald Ford to the DC Court of Appeals, becoming the first woman of color appointed to a court of last resort in the U.S.
Ellen McCormack entered 20 state primaries for the Democratic presidential nomination as an anti-abortion candidate, winning 22 convention votes. She became the first woman to qualify for federal campaign matching funds and qualified for Secret Service protection. In 1980, she ran for president again as the candidate of the Right to Life Party, winning more than 30,000 votes from three states.
Congresswoman Lindy Boggs (D-LA) served as chairwoman of the 1976 Democratic National Convention, becoming the first woman to preside over a major party convention. Boggs was also the first woman elected to Congress from Louisiana and later served as United States Ambassador to the Holy See.
Patricia Roberts Harris was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to serve as secretary of Housing and Urban Development during 1977-1979. From 1979-1981, she served as secretary of Health and Human Services. She was the first Black woman to serve in a presidential Cabinet and the first woman to hold two different Cabinet positions.
LaDonna Harris appears to be the first Native American woman nominee for vice president in the United States. She ran on the Citizens Party ticket, which received less than one percent of the popular vote in the 1980 presidential election.
For the first time, a national party's nominating convention delegates included equal numbers of men and women. At its convention in New York, the Democratic party also added to its charter a requirement that future conventions have equal numbers of female and male delegates.
Sandra Day O'Connor, a former Republican state legislator from Arizona who had served on a state appeals court, was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as the first woman ever to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Emma Wong Mar appears to be the first Asian American woman nominee for vice president in the United States. She ran on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket as running mate to Sonia Johnson. Together they received less than one percent of the popular vote in the 1984 presidential election.
Third-term Congresswoman Geraldine A. Ferraro (D-NY), secretary of the House Democratic Caucus, became the first woman ever to run on a major party's national ticket when she was selected by Walter F. Mondale as his Vice Presidential running mate. The ticket was decisively defeated, capturing only 13 electoral votes, and few analysts felt that Ferraro's presence had a strong impact–positive or negative–on the outcome.
Congresswoman Lynn Morley Martin (R-IL) began the first of two terms as vice chair of the Republican Conference in the House, the first time a woman held an elected position in the congressional party's hierarchy.
Barbara Ann Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, became the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate without previously filling an unexpired Congressional term. Combining her Senate service from 1987-2017 with her service in the US House of Representatives from 1977 to 1987, she is the longest-serving woman in the history of Congress.
Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder (D-CO) made national headlines when she took preliminary steps toward making a serious run for the presidency, but she dropped out before the primaries, unable to raise the necessary funds.
Kay Orr, a Republican from Nebraska, was the first Republican woman elected governor of a state, as well as the first woman to defeat another woman in a gubernatorial race.

Her term ended in 1999 when she lost her re-election bid.
Althea Garrison (R) was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, becoming the first transgender or transsexual person to serve in a state legislature in the United States.

Olympia Snowe (R-ME) became the first woman (and the only Republican woman) to have been elected to her State House, State Senate, U.S. House and U.S. Senate. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) also followed this path to the U.S. Senate, making her the first Democrat to do so.
Madeleine K. Albright, became the first woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State, serving from 1997-2001. She became the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. government but, as a naturalized citizen, she would not have been eligible to become President. She had previously served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from 1993-1997.
Aida Alvarez became the first Hispanic women, as well as the first person of Puerto Rican heritage, to hold a Cabinet-level position when she was appointed administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration in the Clinton administration.

This table last edited on 01/22/2021. Corrected registration figures.
“Turnout” refers to efforts to measure the extent of popular participation in elections. Turnout is usually discussed as a ratio although always based on a count of votes cast. The numerator is the number of votes cast. Various measures may be used as the denominator: (1) The Voting Age Population—broadly speaking it is the population above the legal voting age; (2) Voting Eligible Population—all citizens who are not excluded from voting because of some legal impediment; (3) Registered voters. Reported measures of each of these has varied somewhat over time as estimates have been revised and refined.
Three propositions underlie most research on turnout.
First: turnout may be a way of assessing the health of a popular democracy. Well-functioning democracies are more inclusive and will have higher turnout.
Second: Ease of registration should affect turnout. In comparing two jurisdictions over time with comparable demographic characteristics (education, age, income, etc.), turnout should be higher in the one with less restrictive registration requirements.
Third: Electoral competition should drive up turnout. Other things equal, when the stakes in the election seem greater, turnout should increase.
Voting Age Population is typically calculated based on census data (“resident population [21 or 18] years and older”). But before 1920 the numbers used are always adjusted for the shifting definition of citizens with voting rights. So women are excluded prior to 1920. The classic attempt to define the voting age population for the 19th century is by Walter Dean Burnham, “The Turnout Problem” in Elections American Style ed., Reichley (Brookings: Washington D.C., 1987) Burnham published only the turnout ratio, not his actual estimate of the voting age population!
Voting Eligible Population is an attempt to make an even more precise definition of the population of people who have a legal right to vote—potential voters. Making the estimates of noncitizens and disfranchised felons has been carried out mostly by Professor Michael McDonald and data are published in the U.S. Elections Project website.
Registered voters counts the total number of eligible people who have taken the additional step of actually registering to vote. We report here the estimates produced by the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. This revised table no longer reports registration totals before 1968, consistent with recent CPS publications. Registration was not a universal requirement until “well into the twentieth century” (Ansolabhere and Konisky) and some states did not impose uniform registration requirements until the 1970s. As of 2016, North Dakota had no registration requirement. So it is possible for the number of votes to exceed the number of registered voters. Scholars point out that census data may not be entirely accurate (see Bennett 1990). A data source that may be of interest to many is the U.S. Election Assistance Commission which surveys county-level officials about voting and elections. Among their data is a series reporting the total number of persons "registered and eligible to vote." For 2016, the sum of the individual county numbers, for counties with data in the US is 185,714,229--a number 15% greater than the CPS estimate for the same year and election.
We thank users who have taken the time to suggest specific modifications to our data on turnout: Thomas Meagher and Phil Kiesling.

The right to vote and to have one’s vote count toward one’s political interests are essential aspects of citizen engagement in participatory democracy. Voting is the key to citizens participating in “government of the people",
"by the people",
"for the people.” As such",
"voting acts as the guardian of the exercise of nearly every right we have in American society. Without the right to vote",
"or to vote in a manner that enables civic participation by individuals in marginalized social groups",
"citizens are without a compelling voice in advancing their interests. Further",
"citizens are unable to use their vote to assert political independence and influence the course of events that impact their lives and the communities in which they live. This essay offers teachers and students a brief overview of the challenges African American men and then women have faced in their quest to access voting rights in our nation. For many",
"the problems noted in this essay will come as a surprise because until relatively recently much of our received historical narrative obscured the reality of voter suppression of African Americans. Focusing on voter suppression of African Americans after Reconstruction",
"I argue that although contemporary genetics research has provided us with a revelation that race is only an idea",
"race and its creation",
"racism",
"have been the sites of significant struggle for the exercise of constitutional rights for African Americans. While the problem of voter discrimination is as old as the nation",
"dating from the property requirements for voting in the eighteenth century",
"the suppression of the right to vote based on one’s racial identity has shown itself to be one of the most difficult challenges our nation has faced. Students often ask",
"why are African Americans as a social group still so far behind white Americans if emancipation and Congressional Reconstruction (which produced significant legislation on behalf of African American progress) leveled the playing field for access to the exercise of citizenship rights (including the right to vote)",
"civic participation",
"opportunities",
"and material benefits? We start by noting that the problem of voter discrimination has its origins in the property requirements and racial and gender restrictions for voting in the eighteenth century. By the mid-nineteenth century",
"the suppression of the right to vote based on one’s racial/ethnic identity intensified",
"and only a few northern states allowed African American men to vote. In the South as well as the Midwest many whites feared the exercise of political power by African Americans",
"and the opposition to black voting was strident and at times enforced with violence. The congressional legislation that followed the end of the four bitter years of the Civil War produced a series of constitutional amendments that abolished slavery (1865)",
"established a basis for citizenship",
"set down due process and equal protection of the law as rights of citizenship (1868)",
"and granted the right to vote to African American men (1870). A Republican-influenced Congress produced the Reconstruction Act of 1867",
"which required the former Confederate states to give African Americans legal rights before those states would be readmitted to the Union. At the same time",
"documents show that some African Americans spoke with Freedmen’s Bureau officers",
"wrote to members of Congress",
"and traveled to testify at congressional hearings",
"urging the creation of laws that would enable them to protect their rights as the nation’s newest citizenry. Congressional Reconstruction enabled the creation of biracial democracy for the first time in the South. With the passage of the legislation",
"735",
"000 black men and 635",
"000 white men were enrolled to vote in the ten states of the Old South. African American men voted in significant numbers",
"sending twenty‐two African American men to serve in the US Congress (two as senators)",
"and electing many black men to state and local offices in the South. Furthermore",
"as all were Republicans",
"their votes helped to elect Union Army general Ulysses S. Grant to the presidency in 1868. Once readmitted to the Union",
"white leaders in southern states rewrote their state constitutions and intensified efforts to establish a rigid system of racial separation and hierarchy between whites and African Americans. Legal and extralegal efforts destroyed biracial democracy. Southern whites re‐established a racial caste system",
"enacting laws like the Black Codes to put and keep African Americans separate and unequal. At the same time",
"extralegal acts",
"including widespread white mob violence and lynching of black men",
"the rape of black women",
"and even the murder of black children",
"were rampant and went unprosecuted. The Ku Klux Klan",
"a white supremacy terrorist organization formed after the Civil War",
"used violence as the chief means of intimidating African Americans. White opposition to African American rights and progress in the South and Midwest took the form of anti-black race riots in which individual African Americans were targets of racial violence",
"and sometimes entire African American communities",
"like Tulsa",
"Oklahoma",
"and Rosewood",
"Florida",
"were attacked and destroyed. Hence",
"the assault on African American constitutional and social rights took many forms in the South",
"some physically violent",
"some politically and socially disempowering",
"all with the goal of denying African Americans self‐governance and access to legal redress for wrongs committed against them. Disfranchisement of African American voters was a chief goal of white supremacy advocates in the South",
"and voter suppression was the means. White legislators wrote laws that employed the use of the racially restrictive all-white Democratic primary election; they also imposed literacy tests and an understanding clause",
"the payment of a poll tax",
"the grandfather clause",
"property qualifications",
"and disfranchisement for minor criminal offenses",
"committing outright fraud and ballot box stuffing in areas where African Americans attempted to vote. Voting was everything for members of the African American community like Bishop Alexander Walters who in 1909 insisted that voting be “the badge of political equality",
"the insignia of one’s citizenship.”[1] However",
"in 1883",
"the state of Virginia reapportioned city districts and amended city charters to minimize or eliminate African American representation on city councils",
"thereby locking African Americans out of electoral representation across the state.[2] The use of gerrymandering—drawing voting district lines to ensure vote dilution of minority voters—has over the course of many decades become a staple of white suppression of African American voters in the South and much of the rest of the nation. The Fifteenth Amendment states that Congress has the responsibility to ensure that “the rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race",
"color",
"or previous condition of servitude.” However",
"individual states determined the specific qualifications required to be able to cast a vote. Southern states used their authority to disfranchise the majority of African American voters. For instance",
"following the defeat of the Federal Elections Bill (1891)",
"an attempt by Congress to prevent African American voter suppression",
"white delegates at the South Carolina constitutional convention in 1895 were urged by the Charleston News and Courier to support whatever extreme measures were necessary to ensure the widely understood white supremacy goal to “reduce the colored vote to insignificance in every county in the state.”[3] One southern state after another disfranchised African American male voters",
"with the result that following African American George H. White’s one congressional term representing North Carolina only a handful of African American men were elected to federal office between 1929 and 1958",
"and this in locations like Illinois",
"New York",
"Michigan",
"and Pennsylvania. In Mississippi",
"where almost 70 percent of black male voters were registered to vote in 1867",
"only 9",
"000 of the 147",
"000 African Americans of voting age were allowed a qualification to vote in 1890. In Louisiana",
"where after the Civil War African Americans made up 44 percent of the registered voters",
"the disfranchisement was even more extreme: by 1920",
"the black vote was reduced from 130",
"000 registered African American male voters to 1",
"342",
"a mere 1 percent of voters.[4] In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)",
"the United States Supreme Court handed white supremacy advocates in the nation the legal ruling that permitted whites in the South",
"as well as many in the North",
"to legally assign African Americans to a permanent second‐class caste system of “separate and unequal” Jim Crow segregation. The Jim Crow system of separate and unequal access extended to segregated public accommodations",
"schools",
"trains",
"buses",
"streetcars",
"churches",
"hospitals",
"toilets",
"water fountains",
"theaters",
"parks",
"steamboats and ferries",
"bars",
"restaurants",
"cafes",
"cemeteries",
"telephone booths",
"and gambling halls. The intention and result was the total separation of whites from blacks",
"and the creation of gross political",
"economic",
"and social inequality for people of color during the decades when the nation’s Industrial Revolution created a prosperous middle class of white Americans. It is important to remind students that disfranchisement in the former Confederate states and Jim Crow segregation were imposed on blacks not because African Americans lacked ambition. Indeed",
"there were African American institutions capable of training effective leaders",
"and self‐help traditions that dated back to the mutual aid",
"benevolence",
"educational",
"church-building",
"and publishing activities of free black communities before the Civil War. After Reconstruction",
"African American organizations were founded to work assiduously for civil rights and women’s rights for African Americans",
"including the National Federation of Afro‐American Women (Boston",
"1895)",
"the National Association of Colored Women (Washington",
"1896)",
"National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP",
"1909)",
"National Urban League (NYC",
"1910)",
"Congress of Racial Equality (CORE",
"1942)",
"and still later",
"the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC",
"1957)",
"the Student Non‐Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC",
"1960)",
"and the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party (MFDP",
"1968). The challenge to counter African American voter suppression preoccupied African American civil rights advocates who carefully tallied the terrible social costs of exclusion from the mainstream of American progress. African American self‐help agency in suing southern states produced some positive results in the 1930s and 1940s",
"as some southern states abolished the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting. Still",
"three decades later",
"Alabama",
"Arkansas",
"Mississippi",
"Texas",
"and Virginia continued to require payment of a poll tax as well as other racially charged practices. For instance",
"in most of the South",
"observers noted that only African Americans were required to perform accurately on a literacy test. In Mississippi",
"this involved reciting a section of the state’s constitution—a requirement from which whites were nearly always exempt. The NAACP was particularly intent on ending Jim Crow segregation and focused its energies on challenging the apartheid‐like Plessy decision that served as precedent for de jure (by law) segregation in the South. The NAACP scored some significant victories in its attack on legal segregation and discrimination. Smith v. Allwright (1944)",
"which struck down the Texas Democratic Party’s all-white primary",
"was an important decision handed down by the US Supreme Court. It was followed ten years later by the watershed decision",
"Brown v. Board of Education in Topeka",
"Kansas",
"which did not directly challenge voter suppression. Arguing that separation based solely on race violated African American children’s Fourteenth Amendment rights",
"the NAACP convinced the US Supreme Court to strike a blow against the social reality of “separate and unequal” in 1954. The victory in the Brown decision galvanized progressive Americans who realized that the country had fought in two world wars to save democracy",
"and yet many Americans",
"including Jews",
"blacks",
"Latinos",
"and Asians",
"experienced physical subjugation and persecution—the lynching of African American men continued through World War II—as well as political",
"economic",
"and social marginalization. The stark contrast between American ideals and realities troubled many",
"particularly those who expected more from their nation. In 1952",
"the Justice Department produced a report",
"Protections of the Rights of Individuals",
"which noted that “the question as to the right of Negroes to vote involved twelve Southern states . . . and virtually none was permitted to vote in the primary election(s).” [5] When President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into law",
"it empowered the US Justice Department to pursue litigation on behalf of securing voting rights for African Americans. At the same time",
"civil rights activists produced a movement that pressured everyday Americans",
"the Congress",
"the President",
"and the Supreme Court to remove barriers to African American voting and the exercise of citizenship rights. The voluminous Civil Rights Act of 1964 sought among other things to halt African American voter suppression in the South where the majority of the nation’s voting-age black population still lived. However",
"it took the brutal assault on hundreds of non‐violent civil rights marchers by Alabama state troopers and Birmingham police as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma",
"Alabama",
"to provoke a global outcry on behalf of African American civil and human rights. In response",
"President Johnson addressed Congress and the nation calling for voting rights legislation",
"resolving that “We Shall Overcome.” Within months",
"the proposed Voting Rights Act was signed into law. Many scholars agree that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) has been the most far‐reaching civil rights legislation ever enacted in the nation because of its enforcement reach. The VRA specifically required the Department of Justice (DOJ) to send marshals to register African American citizens in those parts of the South engaged in voter suppression. Within a year",
"450",
"000 African Americans in the South registered to vote. Furthermore",
"the VRA required the DOJ to create a standard for voting rights enforcement that shifted certain obligations to state and local governing institutions. Within two years",
"the numbers of African Americans who registered to vote in the former states of the Confederacy shot up dramatically",
"and African Americans and progressive whites were elected to public office-holding. It seemed to many that the nation was finally finishing what had begun during Reconstruction—the creation of biracial democracy in the South. Subsequent updates of the law provided effective intervention for ethnic minorities under the equal protection clause coverage in the Fourteenth Amendment. However",
"in the past decade",
"some justices on the high court have considered that the VRA’s enforcement provisions are outdated",
"and they have voted to diminish the VRA’s preclearance enforcement requirements. Unfortunately",
"the decision to weaken the VRA’s enforcement procedures is giving rise to unchecked voter suppression and gerrymandering against some minority communities. In helping students to understand the centrality of voting in our society",
"it is crucial to reaffirm the importance of the right to vote",
"and the right to have one’s vote combine with the votes of others to create political outcomes that empower individuals in a constitutional democracy such as ours. Viewed in this manner voting maintains its role as the guardian of every right in our society. Voter suppression is a serious transgression against participatory democracy because it creates and sustains discriminatory harm against citizens",
"and fixing the consequences of past wrongs is almost always complicated and even contentious. The story of African American voter suppression is an essential chapter in American history because it speaks directly to the ongoing challenge of making democracy work for all of the nation’s citizens.

Further, citizens are unable to use their vote to assert political independence and influence the course of events that impact their lives and the communities in which they live. This essay offers teachers and students a brief overview of the challenges African American men and then women have faced in their quest to access voting rights in our nation. For many, the problems noted in this essay will come as a surprise because until relatively recently much of our received historical narrative obscured the reality of voter suppression of African Americans. Focusing on voter suppression of African Americans after Reconstruction, I argue that although contemporary genetics research has provided us with a revelation that race is only an idea, race and its creation, racism, have been the sites of significant struggle for the exercise of constitutional rights for African Americans. While the problem of voter discrimination is as old as the nation, dating from the property requirements for voting in the eighteenth century, the suppression of the right to vote based on one’s racial identity has shown itself to be one of the most difficult challenges our nation has faced. Students often ask, why are African Americans as a social group still so far behind white Americans if emancipation and Congressional Reconstruction (which produced significant legislation on behalf of African American progress) leveled the playing field for access to the exercise of citizenship rights (including the right to vote), civic participation, opportunities, and material benefits? We start by noting that the problem of voter discrimination has its origins in the property requirements and racial and gender restrictions for voting in the eighteenth century. By the mid-nineteenth century, the suppression of the right to vote based on one’s racial/ethnic identity intensified, and only a few northern states allowed African American men to vote. In the South as well as the Midwest many whites feared the exercise of political power by African Americans, and the opposition to black voting was strident and at times enforced with violence. The congressional legislation that followed the end of the four bitter years of the Civil War produced a series of constitutional amendments that abolished slavery (1865), established a basis for citizenship, set down due process and equal protection of the law as rights of citizenship (1868), and granted the right to vote to African American men (1870). A Republican-influenced Congress produced the Reconstruction Act of 1867, which required the former Confederate states to give African Americans legal rights before those states would be readmitted to the Union. At the same time, documents show that some African Americans spoke with Freedmen’s Bureau officers, wrote to members of Congress, and traveled to testify at congressional hearings, urging the creation of laws that would enable them to protect their rights as the nation’s newest citizenry. Congressional Reconstruction enabled the creation of biracial democracy for the first time in the South. With the passage of the legislation, 735,000 black men and 635,000 white men were enrolled to vote in the ten states of the Old South. African American men voted in significant numbers, sending twenty‐two African American men to serve in the US Congress (two as senators), and electing many black men to state and local offices in the South. Furthermore, as all were Republicans, their votes helped to elect Union Army general Ulysses S. Grant to the presidency in 1868. Once readmitted to the Union, white leaders in southern states rewrote their state constitutions and intensified efforts to establish a rigid system of racial separation and hierarchy between whites and African Americans. Legal and extralegal efforts destroyed biracial democracy. Southern whites re‐established a racial caste system, enacting laws like the Black Codes to put and keep African Americans separate and unequal. At the same time, extralegal acts, including widespread white mob violence and lynching of black men, the rape of black women, and even the murder of black children, were rampant and went unprosecuted. The Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacy terrorist organization formed after the Civil War, used violence as the chief means of intimidating African Americans. White opposition to African American rights and progress in the South and Midwest took the form of anti-black race riots in which individual African Americans were targets of racial violence, and sometimes entire African American communities, like Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Rosewood, Florida, were attacked and destroyed. Hence, the assault on African American constitutional and social rights took many forms in the South, some physically violent, some politically and socially disempowering, all with the goal of denying African Americans self‐governance and access to legal redress for wrongs committed against them. Disfranchisement of African American voters was a chief goal of white supremacy advocates in the South, and voter suppression was the means. White legislators wrote laws that employed the use of the racially restrictive all-white Democratic primary election; they also imposed literacy tests and an understanding clause, the payment of a poll tax, the grandfather clause, property qualifications, and disfranchisement for minor criminal offenses, committing outright fraud and ballot box stuffing in areas where African Americans attempted to vote. Voting was everything for members of the African American community like Bishop Alexander Walters who in 1909 insisted that voting be “the badge of political equality, the insignia of one’s citizenship.”[1] However, in 1883, the state of Virginia reapportioned city districts and amended city charters to minimize or eliminate African American representation on city councils, thereby locking African Americans out of electoral representation across the state.[2] The use of gerrymandering—drawing voting district lines to ensure vote dilution of minority voters—has over the course of many decades become a staple of white suppression of African American voters in the South and much of the rest of the nation. The Fifteenth Amendment states that Congress has the responsibility to ensure that “the rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” However, individual states determined the specific qualifications required to be able to cast a vote. Southern states used their authority to disfranchise the majority of African American voters. For instance, following the defeat of the Federal Elections Bill (1891), an attempt by Congress to prevent African American voter suppression, white delegates at the South Carolina constitutional convention in 1895 were urged by the Charleston News and Courier to support whatever extreme measures were necessary to ensure the widely understood white supremacy goal to “reduce the colored vote to insignificance in every county in the state.”[3] One southern state after another disfranchised African American male voters, with the result that following African American George H. White’s one congressional term representing North Carolina only a handful of African American men were elected to federal office between 1929 and 1958, and this in locations like Illinois, New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In Mississippi, where almost 70 percent of black male voters were registered to vote in 1867, only 9,000 of the 147,000 African Americans of voting age were allowed a qualification to vote in 1890. In Louisiana, where after the Civil War African Americans made up 44 percent of the registered voters, the disfranchisement was even more extreme: by 1920, the black vote was reduced from 130,000 registered African American male voters to 1,342, a mere 1 percent of voters.[4] In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the United States Supreme Court handed white supremacy advocates in the nation the legal ruling that permitted whites in the South, as well as many in the North, to legally assign African Americans to a permanent second‐class caste system of “separate and unequal” Jim Crow segregation. The Jim Crow system of separate and unequal access extended to segregated public accommodations, schools, trains, buses, streetcars, churches, hospitals, toilets, water fountains, theaters, parks, steamboats and ferries, bars, restaurants, cafes, cemeteries, telephone booths, and gambling halls. The intention and result was the total separation of whites from blacks, and the creation of gross political, economic, and social inequality for people of color during the decades when the nation’s Industrial Revolution created a prosperous middle class of white Americans. It is important to remind students that disfranchisement in the former Confederate states and Jim Crow segregation were imposed on blacks not because African Americans lacked ambition. Indeed, there were African American institutions capable of training effective leaders, and self‐help traditions that dated back to the mutual aid, benevolence, educational, church-building, and publishing activities of free black communities before the Civil War. After Reconstruction, African American organizations were founded to work assiduously for civil rights and women’s rights for African Americans, including the National Federation of Afro‐American Women (Boston, 1895), the National Association of Colored Women (Washington, 1896), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP, 1909), National Urban League (NYC, 1910), Congress of Racial Equality (CORE, 1942), and still later, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC, 1957), the Student Non‐Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, 1960), and the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party (MFDP, 1968). The challenge to counter African American voter suppression preoccupied African American civil rights advocates who carefully tallied the terrible social costs of exclusion from the mainstream of American progress. African American self‐help agency in suing southern states produced some positive results in the 1930s and 1940s, as some southern states abolished the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting. Still, three decades later, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia continued to require payment of a poll tax as well as other racially charged practices. For instance, in most of the South, observers noted that only African Americans were required to perform accurately on a literacy test. In Mississippi, this involved reciting a section of the state’s constitution—a requirement from which whites were nearly always exempt. The NAACP was particularly intent on ending Jim Crow segregation and focused its energies on challenging the apartheid‐like Plessy decision that served as precedent for de jure (by law) segregation in the South. The NAACP scored some significant victories in its attack on legal segregation and discrimination. Smith v. Allwright (1944), which struck down the Texas Democratic Party’s all-white primary, was an important decision handed down by the US Supreme Court. It was followed ten years later by the watershed decision, Brown v. Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas, which did not directly challenge voter suppression. Arguing that separation based solely on race violated African American children’s Fourteenth Amendment rights, the NAACP convinced the US Supreme Court to strike a blow against the social reality of “separate and unequal” in 1954. The victory in the Brown decision galvanized progressive Americans who realized that the country had fought in two world wars to save democracy, and yet many Americans, including Jews, blacks, Latinos, and Asians, experienced physical subjugation and persecution—the lynching of African American men continued through World War II—as well as political, economic, and social marginalization. The stark contrast between American ideals and realities troubled many, particularly those who expected more from their nation. In 1952, the Justice Department produced a report, Protections of the Rights of Individuals, which noted that “the question as to the right of Negroes to vote involved twelve Southern states . . . and virtually none was permitted to vote in the primary election(s).” [5] When President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into law, it empowered the US Justice Department to pursue litigation on behalf of securing voting rights for African Americans. At the same time, civil rights activists produced a movement that pressured everyday Americans, the Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court to remove barriers to African American voting and the exercise of citizenship rights. The voluminous Civil Rights Act of 1964 sought among other things to halt African American voter suppression in the South where the majority of the nation’s voting-age black population still lived. However, it took the brutal assault on hundreds of non‐violent civil rights marchers by Alabama state troopers and Birmingham police as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, to provoke a global outcry on behalf of African American civil and human rights. In response, President Johnson addressed Congress and the nation calling for voting rights legislation, resolving that “We Shall Overcome.” Within months, the proposed Voting Rights Act was signed into law. Many scholars agree that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) has been the most far‐reaching civil rights legislation ever enacted in the nation because of its enforcement reach. The VRA specifically required the Department of Justice (DOJ) to send marshals to register African American citizens in those parts of the South engaged in voter suppression. Within a year, 450,000 African Americans in the South registered to vote. Furthermore, the VRA required the DOJ to create a standard for voting rights enforcement that shifted certain obligations to state and local governing institutions. Within two years, the numbers of African Americans who registered to vote in the former states of the Confederacy shot up dramatically, and African Americans and progressive whites were elected to public office-holding. It seemed to many that the nation was finally finishing what had begun during Reconstruction—the creation of biracial democracy in the South. Subsequent updates of the law provided effective intervention for ethnic minorities under the equal protection clause coverage in the Fourteenth Amendment. However, in the past decade, some justices on the high court have considered that the VRA’s enforcement provisions are outdated, and they have voted to diminish the VRA’s preclearance enforcement requirements. Unfortunately, the decision to weaken the VRA’s enforcement procedures is giving rise to unchecked voter suppression and gerrymandering against some minority communities. In helping students to understand the centrality of voting in our society, it is crucial to reaffirm the importance of the right to vote, and the right to have one’s vote combine with the votes of others to create political outcomes that empower individuals in a constitutional democracy such as ours. Viewed in this manner voting maintains its role as the guardian of every right in our society. Voter suppression is a serious transgression against participatory democracy because it creates and sustains discriminatory harm against citizens, and fixing the consequences of past wrongs is almost always complicated and even contentious. The story of African American voter suppression is an essential chapter in American history because it speaks directly to the ongoing challenge of making democracy work for all of the nation’s citizens.

In the United States, voting is a constitutionally protected right and an essential symbol of meaningful political participation in our nation’s electoral processes of governing. The right to vote and to have one’s vote count toward one’s political interests are essential aspects of citizen engagement in participatory democracy. Voting is the key to citizens participating in “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” As such, voting acts as the guardian of the exercise of nearly every right we have in American society. Without the right to vote, or to vote in a manner that enables civic participation by individuals in marginalized social groups, citizens are without a compelling voice in advancing their interests. Further, citizens are unable to use their vote to assert political independence and influence the course of events that impact their lives and the communities in which they live.

Anti-Suffragism in the United States
By Rebecca A. Rix
From the 1840s, when six New York women protested taxation without representation, through the 1920s, after ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, supporters of women’s right to vote met opposition.[1] In the early nineteenth century, suffragists were among the radical reformers threatening to democratize a republic still based on status hierarchies. After the Civil War and Reconstruction emancipated enslaved African Americans, established birthright citizenship, and promised equal protection to all citizens, suffragists and reformers fought for decades to realize that equality. Anti-suffragists, conversely, fought to maintain the male-headed family, rather than the individual citizen, as the representative unit of republican government.[2] While anti-suffragists eventually lost their battle, their opposition delayed woman suffrage for decades and transformed family-based republicanism from a patrician opposition to democratization into a popular defense of tradition and family against feminism and the social welfare state. Suffragists’ belief in individual representation inspired decades of battles over the right to vote and other reforms that supplemented or supplanted traditional family-based government with laws that gave women—and others once assumed to be “naturally” unequal—civil and political rights.[3] For anti-suffragists, the franchise meant more than just the right to enter a voting booth and cast a ballot: the vote was an affirmation of the fundamental political equality of all persons holding it, in both the private and public spheres—a radical interpretation of the founding ideals that anti-suffragists were eager to extinguish wherever it threatened the republic.
In the 1830s and ’40s, anti-suffragists posed woman suffrage as an absurd conclusion to the enfranchisement of unpropertied men—if all individuals had a “right” to vote, why not women?[4] In the early nineteenth century both northern and southern states eliminated property qualifications for voting, leading to nearly universal white male suffrage. Workingmen’s suffrage bolstered the assumption that men were responsible for supporting and governing their wives and dependents, who owed them deference and labor.[5] Despite sectional differences over slavery, political leaders and clergy emphasized white men’s shared sovereignty over their “domestic” dependents, including slaves.[6]
In the 1850s, antislavery and proslavery advocates battled to define the institutions of new western states and territories as well as the status of enslaved people in free jurisdictions. The US Supreme Court’s 1857 Dred Scott decision was a watershed in imbuing national citizenship with expansive civil and political rights—and then limiting that citizenship to white men.[7] The decision enraged abolitionists, free enfranchised Blacks, and free states and fueled sectional conflict and made national citizenship a focal point of postwar Reconstruction.
Northerners had ridiculed the 1855 campaign of the “Republican Reform Party” (Figure 1) for encouraging African Americans’ and women’s egalitarian aspirations, but these aspirations became contentious political issues during postwar Reconstruction. In particular, the Fourteenth Amendment’s declaration of birthright citizenship and its provision of equal rights protections at once invalidated Dred Scott and unsettled antebellum republicanism’s conferral of rights based on one’s status within the polity.[8] Suffragists opposed the inclusion of the word “male” in the amendment’s protection of voting rights, arguing instead for citizen suffrage. After its ratification, some suffragists tested this provision by attempting to vote (and sometimes succeeding), hoping the ensuing litigation would produce a judicial decision that women’s citizenship conferred suffrage. Others petitioned for a woman suffrage amendment, particularly after their failure to secure universal suffrage in the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibited denial of the vote on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.[9] Anti-suffragists noted the apparent racism of suffragists’ opposition to the Fifteenth Amendment.[10]
In congressional debates over national woman suffrage in 1871, following women’s enfranchisement in Wyoming and Utah Territories, women “remonstrants” organized in opposition. Like suffragists, remonstrants used traditional rights of petition and remonstrance to influence legislators for or against legislation. In an open letter in the New York Times, Almira Lincoln Phelps posited that the feminine “silent masses” opposed woman suffrage, a measure agitated in the regrettably revolutionary tradition of “female Thomas Paines.” In Congress, remonstrants claimed their female authority, customarily using their married names, to decry suffragists’ democratic agitation. Mrs. General William Tecumseh Sherman and Mrs. Admiral John A. Dahlgren warned that suffragists’ “illusive new doctrine” of individual rights violated the fundamental principle that the family was the basic unit of republican government. Male family authority was so fundamental to their republicanism that remonstrants urged a constitutional amendment to defend the patriarchal family against laws defining women’s individual property and marital rights. The republic needed women as wives, mothers, educators, and philanthropists—not women who competed against men for jobs or preferred political intrigue to domestic duties.[11]
Remonstrants hoped to limit Reconstruction’s emphasis on federal authority, with its revolutionary implications for individual citizenship and suffrage, by restricting that authority to protecting male enfranchisement and family-based virtual representation. After suffragists revived their claims to the revolutionary tradition of natural rights during the 1876 Centennial, Mrs. Dahlgren countered suffragists’ claims.[12] Suffrage was no natural right, she explained in 1878, since women, like “idiots, lunatics,” and “adult boys” did not vote. Women should accept their place within a hierarchical order based on “immutable,” “fundamental,” “higher” social laws. For Dahlgren, the harmonious family was “the foundation of the State,” each “represented by its head, just as the State ultimately finds the same unity, through a series of representations. Out of this come peace, concord, proper representation, and adjustment—union.” Enfranchising all citizens would excite competing interests within the family and society and render “discord” the “corner-stone of the State.”[13]
In the 1880s, anti-suffrage congressmen highlighted woman suffrage as a threat to local self-government and sectional peace, quoting northern remonstrants such as Chicago’s Caroline Corbin, whose Letters from a Chimney-Corner, which linked domesticity with “home rule,” belied her patrician status.[14] As southern states restricted African American male suffrage, their congressmen argued that a proposed woman suffrage amendment threatened not only male authority in the family, but also states’ rights and “local self-government,” a polite term that connoted government by propertied white men, regardless of African American federal citizenship rights.[15] As Alabama Senator John Tyler Morgan explained, a woman suffrage amendment would draw a “line of political demarcation through a man’s household” and “open to the intrusion of politics and politicians that sacred circle of the family where no man should be permitted to intrude.”[16] In defending local self-government, anti-suffragists evoked memories of federal troops supervising southern polls and the alliance of abolitionists and suffragists, and they warned against any northern interference with southern Jim Crow laws—while also appealing to northerners who were leading their own antidemocratic movements.[17] By the mid-1880s, congressional Democrats’ success in stalling legislation and northern anti-suffragists’ remonstrances against extending the vote led to the suffrage movement’s congressional “doldrums.”[18]
Suffragists had some successes at the state level as Reconstruction ended, which provoked anti-suffragists to organize, first in Massachusetts and then in other states. When, in 1882, the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) sought to expand on an 1879 Massachusetts partial woman suffrage measure, Massachusetts anti-suffragists organized to counter the considerable influence of celebrated abolitionist-suffragists such as Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe. As anti-suffrage leader Mrs. Charles Eliot Guild recalled, it was a moment when conservative women—whose postbellum political reputation was tarnished by their families’ non-abolitionism—claimed their “right to be heard” as remonstrants.[19] The first remonstrants operated within a patrician social network of Massachusetts’s founding families and were represented by prominent male relatives, including State Senator George Crocker, who advised them on legislative developments; publisher Henry Houghton, who printed anti-suffrage publications; and Harvard historian and critic of universal manhood suffrage, Francis Parkman.[20] Parkman added his Some of the Reasons against Woman Suffrage to a growing anti-suffrage literature explaining the traditional, historical, political, and evolutionary wisdom of men’s and women’s complementary, distinct forms of citizenship.[21] The AWSA’s Massachusetts activity kept the remonstrants busy through the 1880s, while the growing suffrage movement in other states engaged Massachusetts anti-suffragists beyond their state borders. Indeed, it was South Dakota’s 1890 woman suffrage referendum that inspired the transformation of their local bulletin into a nationally distributed publication, The Remonstrance.[22] (Figure 2)
Massachusetts remonstrants corresponded with Chicago’s Caroline Corbin, a descendent of old northeastern families who moved west with her enterprising merchant husband.[23] Chicago was a railroad hub between western mines, forests, and farms and eastern capital and goods. Its rapid urbanization, industrialization, and expanding immigrant population gave rise to pressing social problems. Whereas Massachusetts anti-suffragists faced former abolitionist suffragists, Corbin contended with reformers such as Jane Addams who viewed the western city as an opportunity to develop and experiment with new ideas about the organization of society. Addams’s Hull House offered a laboratory for municipal reformers, useful social and educational programs for local workers and immigrants, and a professional network for female social scientists and reformers.[24]
Addams and Corbin held opposing views of how to ameliorate the social and economic misery of the 1890s generally, and in Chicago specifically. For Addams, woman suffrage was essential to governing a modern urban, industrial, and multiethnic society. Real democracy required developing individual citizens’ capacities, prioritizing the public good, and regulating the corrupting influences of poverty, disease, greed, and machine politics. Socialism and labor unionism were among the varied intellectual and social movements that informed Hull House residents’ reformist visions. For Corbin, reform experimentation and woman suffrage both threatened social order; restricting suffrage to male heads of household at once ennobled men and obliged them to support families and serve their community. Virtual representation reflected a wise public policy based on human evolution—marked by highly differentiated gender roles—and the progress of civilization; family unity was the foundation of organic social unity. Enfranchising women would fuel individual aspirations to equality, which would lead to socialism.[25]
Corbin overstated the suffrage-socialist alliance, but suffragists did form several significant political alliances during this period. Colorado’s successful 1893 suffrage referendum reflected a new threat—an alliance between western suffragists and Populists, supported by farmers and labor—and inspired the formation of new state anti-suffrage organizations.[26] The seasoned Massachusetts remonstrants helped New York remonstrants defeat an attempt to add woman suffrage to the state constitution in 1894. The threat led New York women to organize the first formal state anti-suffrage organization.[27] Their New York Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage (NYAOWS) provided a model adopted by Massachusetts (Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women [MAOFESW], 1895) and Illinois (Illinois Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage [IAOWS], 1897). These state organizations cooperated with each other and with male anti-suffragists, who provided them legal and political advice. Women anti-suffragists appeared for each legislative battle to disprove suffragists’ claim to speak for all women. (Figure 3) NYAOWS and MAOFESW leaders organized new state anti-suffrage associations and distributed anti-suffrage literature and association newspapers as far away as Oregon, Washington, California, Iowa, and other endangered states. In 1911, they formed the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage (NAOWS), led by NYAOWS president Josephine Dodge, and launched a new publication, the Woman’s Protest. Most western (and later, southern) state associations were founded by wealthy white women linked to NAOWS members by social networks.[28] Their task was to legitimate family-based suffrage and its political analog, local self-government by propertied elites, to voters with increasingly democratic aspirations. Public education campaigns, carried out by distributing campaign buttons through social networks and storefront headquarters, appealed to workingmen’s economic interests and desires to protect their families and communities against feminism, Progressivism, and socialism. (Figure 4) In the early twentieth century, anti-suffragists had to counter suffragists’ allegations that “Antis” were selfish aristocrats or, worse, that they provided political cover for immoral “interests” who benefitted from reform-minded women’s disfranchisement.
While the Populist Party disintegrated after the 1896 election, its reforms, personnel, and democratic ideology continued to gain popularity. The Populists’ 1892 and 1896 platforms united reformers against monopolistic trusts, political corruption, vice, and the exploitation of workers and small businesses. The Democratic Party absorbed many Populists, who, in the solidly Democratic South, had to acquiesce to suffrage restrictions as Jim Crow solidified.[29] In the West, however, Populist reformers joined Progressives and played Democrats against Republicans, using new tools for direct lawmaking: the ballot initiative enabled reformers to write laws for approval by voters, instead of filtering popular sovereignty through legislators; referenda and recalls provided accountability. Colorado was first among many western states that enfranchised women in this way. Western anti-suffragists, often drawn from commercial cities’ founding families, conferred with eastern anti-suffragists to defend against these blows at “representative government.”[30] Anti-suffragists’ defense of property rights and virtual representation had long been consonant with regionally distinct forms of local self-government; this became politically problematic amid growing debates over using federal power to enfranchise women, regulate monopolistic trusts, regulate liquor consumption, and adjudicate labor conflicts.
Women were active in these areas of reform, and women’s political power influenced the 1912 presidential election. The four presidential candidates faced a new constituency in western states—newly enfranchised women; Progressive Theodore Roosevelt and Socialist Eugene Debs endorsed woman suffrage.[31] Two new Populist-Progressive constitutional amendments (the Sixteenth, income tax, and the Seventeenth, direct election of senators) inspired suffragists and Prohibitionists, who had long advocated for woman suffrage.[32] While intrinsically important, a number of reformers also viewed woman suffrage as an expedient to those promoting child welfare, Prohibition, labor regulation, unionism, African American civil rights, and many other reforms. Indeed, as suffragists championed Progressive reforms, many portrayed “Antis” as witless wealthy women associated with corrupt and corrupting interests. (Figure 5)
Yet many anti-suffragists were also devoted reformers, and among their anti-equality arguments were those for preserving state gender-based protective labor legislation. NAOWS’s Minnie Bronson, a Theodore Roosevelt–administration veteran, invoked her expertise in labor law to observe that political equality threatened women’s labor laws. As “feminism” emerged in the 1910s, anti-suffragists argued that educated, affluent women might benefit from gender equality, but what of workingwomen who benefitted from labor legislation premised on the state’s interest in protecting women’s maternal health?[33] Against arguments that the vote would enhance workingwomen’s ability to win labor legislation, Bronson maintained that women’s political equality might preclude state protective labor legislation that was constitutional only because women were, presumably, the weaker sex.[34]
The conflict between a federal woman suffrage amendment and paternalistic protection also threatened Jim Crow and southern traditions, southern anti-suffragists warned with increasing alarm in the 1910s. They feared that the “Anthony Amendment,” like the Fifteenth Amendment, would bring federal scrutiny of state polls, the enfranchisement of southern female Progressives, and growth of the Black middle class.[35] The Fifteenth Amendment had languished under Jim Crow for decades, but in 1915 the new National Association for the Advancement of Colored People won its Supreme Court case against grandfather clauses that exempted some (white) voters from voting restrictions based on the status of their ancestors.[36] During World War I, National American Woman Suffrage Association president Carrie Chapman Catt argued in a special suffrage issue of W. E. B. Du Bois’s the Crisis, that Wilson’s wartime democratic ideals required universal enfranchisement regardless of sex, race, or ethnicity.[37] With local Progressives for Prohibition and child labor regulation, and a national enthusiasm for Progressivism, southern anti-suffragists continued to invoke familiar tropes of federal interference in “local” affairs, which halted the nascent suffrage movement in the region.
When Congress sent the Nineteenth Amendment to the states in 1919, the NAOWS counted the southern states critical among the thirteen states required to stymie its ratification. Confident in the conservatism of northeastern and southern states, they were dismayed when Tennessee became the thirty-sixth and final needed state to ratify the amendment in 1920.
After ratification, anti-suffrage leaders responded in different ways. While some former anti-suffragists refused to vote, many realized that their votes were necessary to counter what many Americans viewed as a powerful, Progressive women’s bloc. In North Carolina, May Hilliard Hinton, the president of the state’s Rejection (anti-ratification) League, appealed to the state’s (white) women to register and vote, as did the governor’s anti-suffrage wife.[38] Many northern anti-suffrage leaders entered partisan politics following the lead of New York anti-suffragists who had made use of their voting power since 1917 to oppose woman suffrage and Progressivism.[39] After ratification, northeastern anti-suffrage leaders organized within the Republican Party, contributing to its rightward shift in the 1920s. Elizabeth Lowell Putnam, MAOFESW leader and sister of Harvard president A. Lawrence Lowell, worked against Progressive Republicans as vice president of the Republican Club of Massachusetts and was the first woman elected president of the Massachusetts Electoral College. An advocate of maternal and children’s social reforms who once supported the fledgling US Children’s Bureau, Putnam became opposed to its Progressive leadership and the Harding-era expansion of federal social welfare programs and the popular federal child labor amendment.[40] Putnam, like Harriet Frothingham of the Woman Patriots’ and their male allies in the Sentinels of the Republic and the Liberty League, opposed a national social welfare state as socialistic. They challenged the Nineteenth Amendment’s constitutionality and also Congress’s use of its taxing power for the Sheppard-Towner Act, which dedicated federal monies to maternal and infant health, but lost both cases before the US Supreme Court.[41] In 1924, these Massachusetts-based groups joined with conservative Catholics and others to organize Massachusetts voters against state ratification of the popular Child Labor Amendment to the US Constitution, arguing against what they called the “nationalization” of mothers and children. While reformers viewed such programs as promoting all citizens’ capacities, conservatives viewed them as a threat to family, tradition, religion, and local self-government and called instead for the protection of men’s traditional rights, expounding a democratized and modernized vision of family-based liberty.[42]
For fifty years, anti-suffragists were a force in US political life. In battles against suffragists and their allies during Reconstruction and afterward, opposing those who saw in federal citizenship a means of realizing government by, for, and of the people, anti-suffragists developed a competing, conservative vision. Initially defending the traditional prerogatives of property and patriarchy, by the mid-1920s they shed the exclusivity and elitism of that vision to make anti-Progressivism appealing to a conservative working-class and middle-class electorate, including women, whose votes they had once opposed.
Rebecca A. Rix is an independent scholar of US gender, political and legal history, whose research focuses on the changing nature of the franchise in the history of American republicanism. She earned her PhD in history from Yale University in 2008 and held an assistant professorship in history at Princeton University, 2009–17. Her current book project analyzes anti-suffragism to illuminate the transformation of republicanism from a family-based to an individual-based model between Reconstruction and the New Deal.
Notes:
[1] In this essay, I focus on the response of anti-suffragists to women demanding political rights in state or federal legislatures, where laws on voting rights are crafted, and thus where women’s claims demanded an answer from powerful men. Recent scholarship analyzes the “myth of Seneca Falls” and how it has obscured important aspects of the long struggle for women’s equal political and civil rights. As Judith Wellman and others have argued, “the ideas expressed at Seneca Falls [New York] did not burst full-grown upon the scene” in 1848, but were part of a “long debate about republican ideals and about the essential meaning of the Declaration of Independence.” Opponents of woman suffrage could ignore the 1848 Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments more easily than a legislative petition, which prompted a response from legislators. In 1846, “six ladies of Jefferson county” petitioned for woman suffrage, arguing that New York had “departed from the true democratic principles upon which all just governments must be based” by imposing taxation without representation on women and leaving them unable to defend “their individual and personal liberty.” Jacob Katz Cogan and Lori D. Ginzberg situate the 1846 petition in the context of antebellum state constitutional conventions and debates over the realization of individual rights in republican government. See Judith Wellman, “Women’s Rights, Republicanism, and Revolutionary Rhetoric in Antebellum New York State,” New York History 69, no. 3 (July 1988): 354–355; Jacob Katz Cogan and Lori D. Ginsberg, “1846 Petition for Woman’s Suffrage, New York State Constitutional Convention.” Signs 22, no. 2 (Winter 1997): 428, 438–439; also Lori D. Ginzberg, Untidy Origins: A Story of Woman’s Rights in Antebellum New York (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2005). On the Seneca Falls “myth” as the origins story of the woman suffrage movement, a narrative that elides other important historical actors and events, see Lisa Tetreault, The Myth of Seneca Falls: Memory and the Women’s Suffrage Movement, 1848–1898 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2017). While Seneca Falls and the Declaration were undoubtedly important both historically and also as an inspiring origins story, understanding them as examples of a multifaceted, ongoing debate among different groups of Americans over the founding ideals and republicanism illuminates how a postrevolutionary, status-based republic began to become a democracy with individual rights.
[2] This essay primarily addresses the women who organized against woman suffrage. Calling themselves “remonstrants” or anti-suffragists, which suffragists shortened to “Antis,” they persuaded legislators and the electorate to vote against woman suffrage repeatedly. Anti-suffrage men opposed woman suffrage as clergy, public intellectuals, legislators, and sometimes in organizations; however, many were the silent partners or agents of women’s organizations. For a useful introduction, see Manuela Thurner, “‘Better Citizens without the Ballot’: American AntiSuffrage Women and Their Rationale during the Progressive Era,” Journal of Women's History 5, no. 1 (Spring 1993): 33–60.
Many who opposed woman suffrage also opposed white workingmen’s suffrage and African American manhood suffrage, preferring a form of republican virtual representation based on property, race, and ethnicity to democracy, and relied on laws governing voter qualifications and election procedures in order to shape the electorate.

[11] The women who penned the anti-suffrage petition to Congress published it in the editorial pages of Godey’s Lady’s Book and Magazine, a popular monthly periodical well known for its promotion of what historians have called “the cult of domesticity,” to garner thousands of signatures for its presentation to Congress. The petitioners were culturally and politically influential women. Phelps did not sign the petition, but she publicized it and probably placed it for publication in Godey’s. Married anti-suffrage women often followed the tradition of being identified by Mrs. [husband’s full name], a social convention that reflected coverture, family lineage, and social position.

As Keyssar notes, by the mid-1870s, a significant number of public intellectuals and politicians lamented the adoption of universal manhood suffrage in the wake of the Civil War, amid reports of Reconstruction’s failures and the rise of immigration, industrialization, the political machines, and reform movements. Finding it impracticable to restrict manhood suffrage, northern opponents of democracy resorted to controlling the frequency, procedures, and scope of political questions in local and state elections and enacting voter registration laws to control the electorate. A northern and western variant of southern disfranchisement, these methods of reducing democratic participation and direct representation came under increasing scrutiny in the 1890s–1910s, fueling not only Populism but also woman suffrage as part of a larger reform coalition.

[28] As Manuela Thurner argues, the race, class, and ideological differences between suffragists and anti-suffragists should not be overstated; while anti-suffrage leaders were predominantly wealthy, white, and from northeastern patrician backgrounds, the suffrage movement “counted a fair number of socially prominent women among its activists, and . . . had its own share of elitist, nativist, and racist rhetoric.” Moreover, like suffragists, many anti-suffragists were devoted to social reform and philanthropy.

The problem of balancing women’s equality with men versus protecting women workers against “sweating” was settled in favor of equality—and “liberty of contract”—in Adkins v. Children’s Hospital (1923). Joan Zimmerman, “The Jurisprudence of Equality: The Women’s Minimum Wage, the First Equal Rights Amendment, and Adkins v.

[35] The defense of southern women and the “Lost Cause” southern legacy against federal enfranchisement was, Marjorie Spruill Wheeler argues, also mobilized to defend against southern Progressives and the harm that enfranchised women might do in regulating New South industries, including cotton, textiles, and liquor interests.

As McRae explains, southern anti-suffragism was not only about women’s roles, “but men’s civic responsibility, racial hierarchies, class privilege, and historical memory . . . the rise of industrialism, worsening labor relations, the influx of urban laborers (many of them women), a rising black middle class, and the challenges these changing conditions posed to patriarchy, familial authority, and the social order” (806).

[36] The 1915 US Supreme Court decision in Guinn v. the United States struck down the “grandfather clause” as a violation of the Fifteenth Amendment. Patricia Sullivan, Lift Every Voice: The NAACP and the Making of the Civil Rights Movement (New York: The New Press, 2009), 15–24, 47–48.
[37] It is important not to overstate the commitment of suffragists to universal equality or to idealize their vision; nonetheless, by the mid-1910s anti-suffragists were correct in observing suffragists’ participation in a broad reform movement—in print culture, in union and political endorsements, and in reformers’ commitments to multiple reforms such as social welfare, universal civil rights, worker rights, international peace work, economic equality, and new forms of direct democracy. Indeed, Carrie Chapman Catt’s vision for “applied democracy” highlighted this vision and the role of suffrage within it. W. E. B. Du Bois devoted a special issue of the Crisis to universal suffrage as a right of citizenship in its 1917 “Suffrage Number.” Carrie Chapman Catt in “Votes for All: A Symposium” (with Anna Howard Shaw and Mary Garrett Hay), Crisis, November 1917, 19–21; Jean Fagan Yellin, “DuBois’ Crisis and Woman’s Suffrage,” Massachusetts Review 14, no. 2 (Spring 1973): 365–375; for Catt’s description of applied democracy and postwar citizenship, see Rix, “Gender and Reconstitution,” 315–328.

The Catholic’s, working class’s, and farmers’ fear of reforms that seemed to treat children more as future citizens than as members of families and social communities was not unreasonable in light of Prohibition, which interfered with church and ethnic traditions, threats of losing children’s work on farms and as family wage-earners, and a recent Supreme Court’s decision to strike down an Oregon law compelling children to attend public schools. Former anti-suffragists helped this coalition with political and rhetorical contributions, helping to create and circulate the early ideology of modern conservatism as they battled against feminism, Prohibition, the Children’s Bureau and the Sheppard-Towner Act, a federal education bureau, a federal bureau of social welfare, a federal anti-lynching law, and, of course, the Child Labor Amendment.

Most political leading indicators point to a red wave in November, with Republicans poised to regain the House majority for the first time in four years. President Joe Biden’s sagging approval ratings, due in part to stubbornly high gas prices and the worst inflation in 40 years, make House Democrats’ sinking political fortunes seem worse by the day.
House Republicans also have new chances to go on the offense in November due to redrawn district lines. The 2022 election cycle is the first since the 2020 census, with 44 of 50 states redrawing political boundaries (six small-population states have a single House member.)
SIX 2022 RACES WHERE THE SUPREME COURT’S ABORTION RULING COULD TIP THE OUTCOME
The once-in-a-decade redistricting process will likely help House Republicans net a couple of seats in the 435-member chamber since state GOP lawmakers controlled the bulk of the map redrawing processes. That by itself will help the GOP effort to overturn the slim House majority Democrats have held in the 117th Congress.
In composing redistricting maps, though, state Republicans largely were careful to protect incumbent GOP lawmakers at the federal level. So, the broader effect of redistricting will be to limit the amount of truly competitive seats. Seats that could go one way or another are below 10% of the chamber.
To be sure, the House campaign landscape includes a series of unknowns. National political fallout remains to be seen from the Supreme Court’s June 24 decision overturning the half-century-old ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortions nationwide, giving states the power to determine limits on when a woman can terminate a pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the influence of former President Donald Trump remains an open question in the months ahead. Trump is eyeing a bid for the 2024 Republican nomination, having lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. Top Republicans are keeping a wary eye on Trump, worried the former president might announce a 2024 bid before Election Day this year, distracting voters from Biden’s embattled leadership and galvanizing Democratic turnout.
Moreover, recent wave election years when the House changed party control — Republicans in 1994 and 2010 and Democrats in 2006 and 2018 — show that many of the top races don’t appear competitive until a few weeks before Election Day. Surprises can and will happen. And conversely, races that seem tight at this stage of the campaign can end up being blowouts one way or another.
But a bit over four months from Election Day 2022, it’s clear Republicans have the momentum to claim the majority and make current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) the next House speaker. Here are 30 House races most likely to decide which party holds the speaker’s gavel in January 2023.
Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District
Rep. Tom O’Halleran arguably has the toughest reelection slog of any of the incumbent Democratic lawmakers. O’Halleran will face the winner of a crowded Aug. 2 Republican primary field in this new, sprawling northeast Arizona district, which includes many deeply conservative towns and cities. First elected to the House in 2018, O’Halleran is a relatively centrist Democrat who has focused on issues such as training and education on tribal lands, investing in education, supporting community colleges, and workforce development.
In what looks increasingly like a Republican wave year, the GOP nomination is a prize very much worth having. Republican primary candidates include state Rep. Walt Blackman, businessman, retired Navy SEAL Eli Crane, and Williams Mayor John Moore.
But O’Halleran has at least one thing going for him as he seeks reelection. His personal profile reflects that of many in Arizona, where so many people moved between 2010 and 2020 that the state gained a new House seat. The Illinois native, 76, was a member of the Chicago Police Department from 1966 to ’76, starting as an officer and rising through the ranks to sergeant, and later homicide investigator. Like many Arizona snowbirds, O’Halleran, after a business career, moved south with his wife to warmer environs.
After the couple settled in the Tucson area, O’Halleran went into politics. He was elected a member of Arizona’s House of Representatives in 2000 and its state Senate from 2006 — as a Republican. But O’Halleran left the GOP in 2014, saying he disagreed with how the party handled education, water, and child welfare issues. That reflects broader political trends in Arizona, long a Republican redoubt that is now decidedly purple. President Joe Biden in 2020 and President Bill Clinton in 1996 were the only Democratic nominees to win the state from 1952 on. And both of Arizona’s senators now are Democrats, for the first time since the early 1950s.
California’s 22nd Congressional District
Rep. David Valadao is one of the most endangered Republican House members, representing a newly drawn Central Valley seat where party registration strongly favors Democrats. Not surprisingly, Valadao has tried to distance himself from Trump, joining nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach the former president over the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. So far in 2022, this has not proven a winning formula. While four pro-impeachment Republicans are retiring from the House after this term, one so far has lost renomination, Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina.
Unlike most of his pro-impeachment House GOP colleagues facing pro-Trump primary opponents, Valadao’s reelection test will in November come from a Democratic rival, Assemblyman Rudy Salas. But Valadao has a fighting chance of holding on, particularly in a Republican-leaning election year. Despite a strong Democratic political base in the 22nd Congressional District, Valadao has proven popular. He won a similar-shaped House seat in 2012 and held it through the 2018 Republican wave. Valadao rebounded from his 2018 loss to Democratic Rep. TJ Cox by turning the tables in 2020 and defeating Cox in a rematch.
California’s 27th Congressional District
Democrat Christy Smith is betting third time’s the charm in her efforts to win a House seat based in northern Los Angeles County. In a March 2020 special election and in November of that year, then-Assemblywoman Smith came up short against Republican Rep. Mike Garcia, who had not previously held public office.
Garcia, a son of Mexican immigrants, is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and decorated Iraq War veteran. He later worked in the defense industry, all of which made for a good fit in the district to which he was elected, where a considerable number of retired military and law enforcement officers reside.
But that version of the district expires in January 2023, since California’s independent redistricting commission redrew the seat significantly. Taking in Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley, the 27th Congressional District no longer includes the traditionally conservative bastion of Simi Valley, which was grafted on to a neighboring House seat.
California’s 45th Congressional District
Republican Rep. Michelle Steel ‘s first reelection effort will be a test of how much Orange County, California, has changed politically. The county directly south of Los Angeles was famously a Republican stronghold for decades. But in 2016, Hillary Clinton was the first Democratic presidential nominee to win a majority in Orange County since 1936, and four years later, Biden ran up the score further there against Trump. In 2018, House Democratic candidates swept Orange County, suggesting a political realignment was in order.
Republicans clawed back two of the seats in 2020, including the coastal district now held by Steel, then a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. That year, she beat a first-term House Democrat, and now, she’s seeking reelection for a newly configured seat, thanks to California’s independent redistricting commission. Steel faces Jay Chen, a community college trustee, businessman, and Navy Reserve officer. The new, racially and ethnically diverse district starts in Fountain Valley, near the Pacific Coast, curves north to pick up Cerritos in Los Angeles County, and rounds out in Placentia, on Orange County’s norther edge.
Colorado’s 8th Congressional District
Colorado picked up a new House seat due to strong population growth in the decade before the 2020 census. The state’s independent redistricting commission added a new seat in communities northeast of Denver, a swath of booming suburbs on the northern Front Range. The 8th Congressional District will make for the most evenly divided seat, giving Republicans and Democrats a shot a nabbing it.
Yadira Caraveo is the Democratic nominee. Caraveo is a practicing pediatrician and daughter of Mexican immigrants. Her campaign has focused on healthcare policy and voting rights. The Republican nominee is state Rep. Barbara Kirkmeyer, who was previously a Weld County commissioner.
Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District
Efforts to defeat Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop have been a perennial disappointment for Republicans. Bishop first won his west Georgia House seat in 1992 and has beaten back consistent efforts by Republicans to defeat him in a state that has become deep red in its rural areas. Bishop has maintained a carefully calibrated voting record that can at times appeal to rural voters and the district’s significant black population.
The newly drawn district is a mix of rural areas and the city of Columbus along the Alabama and Florida state lines. The Republican nominee is Chris West, an attorney and officer in Georgia’s Air National Guard. The 2nd Congressional District is Georgia’s only competitive House seat in November.
Illinois’s 17th Congressional District
Rep. Cheri Bustos headed House Democrats’ campaign arm in 2020 when the party unexpectedly lost 12 seats and saw its majority sliced considerably. Bustos had an unexpectedly close call herself, beating her Republican opponent, attorney and Army Reserve officer Esther Joy King, with only 52%-48%. Bustos is retiring from the House and the end of this term, and her district is even more competitive, even though lines were drawn by state Democrats.
The central Illinois district includes most of Peoria and Bloomington-Normal. King is back on the ballot, as the Republican nominee. The Democratic nominee is former television meteorologist Eric Sorensen.
Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District
Iowa has turned sharply right since Trump’s election in 2016. Trump won the state against Clinton that year and Biden four years later, and Republicans are on the ascent politically. That puts Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne at a real disadvantage as she seeks reelection in the 3rd District.
The Republican nominee is state Sen. Zach Nunn, an Air Force veteran who served in the Middle East. Axne and Nunn will face off in November in a Des Moines-based seat that would have voted for Trump over Biden 49.2% to 48.8%. The seat is a top Republican target in the fall.
Kansas’s 3rd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids was always somewhat of an endangered political species in Republican-dominated Kansas. But her personal story, combined with strong campaign skills and a top-notch constituent service, helped her win reelection in 2020. Davids is the first openly LGBT Native American elected to the House, the first openly lesbian elected to the chamber, and one of two Native American women who have been members.
The Cornell Law School graduate first won her seat in 2018 by beating an incumbent Republican. This year, she faces a rematch with her 2020 opponent, former state GOP chairwoman Amanda Adkins. Two years ago, Davids beat Adkins 54%-44%, with Biden winning by an identical margin over Trump in the suburban Kansas City seat. But state Republicans enacted a gerrymandered map of Kansas’s four House districts. In Davids’s district, Biden would have won by a narrower 51%-47% margin.
Maine’s 2nd Congressional District
Former Rep. Bruce Poliquin is set for a rematch against Democratic Rep. Jared Golden. Golden, a retired Marine, beat Poliquin in 2018 and has since held the rural seat north of Portland, the largest House district by square mileage east of the Mississippi River. But the district backed Trump in 2020 over Biden and, in a strong Republican primary, could flip back to the GOP.
One wild card in this race is Maine’s use of ranked-choice voting in general elections. In 2018, Poliquin was ahead in the initial tally of votes. But Golden won the House seat since under Maine’s rules, voters rank candidates in their order of preference and then transfer their votes if no office-seeker gets more than 50%. Poliquin sued in federal court to block the result, but a district court judge rejected the defeated congressman’s claim.
Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District
The fight to hold this western Michigan seat is playing out in two parts: the Republican primary and the general election. Freshman Rep. Peter Meijer is one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in 2021. He faces an Aug. 2 Republican primary challenge by Trump administration HUD official John Gibbs.
If Meijer can make it to the general election, he’ll face Hillary Scholten, his 2020 Democratic opponent. Meijer won that race 53%-47%. It was the closest race in the district covering much of the same territory since 1982. The one-time deep-red area, including the longtime congressional district of late Republican President Gerald Ford, continues to become more politically diverse. The 3rd Congressional District is among a handful of House seats Democrats are hoping to flip in November.
Michigan’s 7th Congressional District
Rep. Elissa Slotkin has been among the most visible and vocal of the Democratic “wave” class of 2018, which gave the party its first House majority in eight years. The former CIA analyst and Department of Defense official beat a sitting Republican House member that year. Once in office, Slotkin generally voted with the House Democratic leadership but has kept her distance from the more left-wing clutch of lawmakers who were elected to Congress in the same year as her.
Slotkin has until now represented the Michigan state capital of Lansing and surrounding areas. But Michigan lost a seat in redistricting due to comparatively slow population growth, and Slotkin’s district lines shifted significantly. She’s now running for a more rural and suburban seat, in a perennial toss-up state. Slotkin’s likely Republican opponent in November is state Sen. Tom Barrett.
Michigan’s 8th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee, first elected to the House in 2012 after a long career in local government, is seeking reelection in a newly drawn Flint- and Saginaw-based seat. The new 8th District would have voted in 2020 for Biden over Trump 50%-48%. That’s a small but meaningful drop from Biden’s 51%-47% margin in the 5th Congressional District.
The Republican primary front-runner is former Trump administration official Paul Junge, who lost to Slotkin in 2020. One thing that may help Kildee is name recognition. His uncle, Democratic Rep. Dale Kildee, was in office from 1977-2013, amassing a House floor consecutive voting streak admired by members of both parties.
Nevada’s 1st Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Dina Titus is seeking reelection in a House seat she’s admitted may not be favorable to her political fortunes. “I totally got f***ed by the legislature on my district,” the Nevada Democrat said during December 2021 remarks at a town hall event. “I’m sorry to say it like that, but I don’t know any other way to say it.”
The suburban Las Vegas district is among three Nevada Republicans are trying to snag from Democrats. In November, Titus will face financial planner Mark Robertson, a first-time candidate who won the Republican nomination in a crowded field. Titus has represented a similar district since 2013. She was previously in the House 2009-11 in a nearby district, losing reelection in 2010 during the Republican wave but returning to Washington two years later after a new seat opened up during the last round of redistricting.
Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District
After redistricting, the seat includes the western half of the Las Vegas metropolitan area as well as the southern tip of the state. Rep. Susie Lee, a Democrat, has held the seat since 2019, and the last Republican elected there retired in 2017.
In the fall, Lee will face April Becker, a lawyer and small-business owner. Becker was the top fundraiser in a multicandidate GOP primary field and received high-profile endorsements from the Nevada Republican Party, House Minority Leader McCarthy, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
Nevada’s 4th Congressional District
Republicans believe the odds are in their favor in Nevada this year in House races and have particularly high hopes for flipping this seat, held by Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford. The former state Senate majority leader first won the House seat in 2012, becoming Nevada’s first black member of Congress. He lost his seat in the 2014 Republican wave. Democrat Ruben Kihuen won it back in 2016 but bowed out of another term following allegations of sexual misconduct. Horsford ran for the seat in 2018 and won. He was reelected in 2020.
Since then, Horsford has admitted to carrying on a long-standing affair with a former intern for Sen. Harry Reid, the late Democratic Senate majority leader from Nevada. The woman, who goes by the pseudonym “Love Jones,” began sharing her story on the Mistress for Congress podcast. She has also shared a screenshot of a message between her and Horsford dating back to 2018. Even Horsford’s wife doesn’t want him to run again.
The Republican nominee in the 4th Congressional District is Sam Peters, an Air Force veteran and insurance firm owner. Peters has pitched himself as a pro-Trump conservative and ardent supporter of the former president. Peters lost a House Republican primary bid in 2020 but will likely be running in a more favorable political environment this fall.
New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District
This seat takes in the suburbs and exurbs of New York City west to the Pennsylvania state line. In November, it will see a rematch of the 2020 House contest between Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski and Tom Kean Jr., the former state Senate Republican leader. Malinowski won that contest 49.4% to 46.7%.
This is Kean’s fourth bid for Congress over a 22-year period. The political environment highly favoring Republicans would seem to give Kean his best chance yet of winning federal office. Name recognition also will likely help. The Republican nominee is the son of former Gov. Tom Kean, in office from 1982 to ’90, and later the 9/11 Commission chairman. Moreover, Malinowski faces a House Ethics Committee investigation, spurred by an April 2021 news report that he traded approximately $1 million of stock in medical and tech companies involved in the virus response during the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District
State Democrats took a play from Republicans’ redistricting playbook and upended a political map status quo that had held for decades. Traditionally, two of the Land of Enchantment’s three House seats strongly favor Democrats. The third has been in the state’s southern tier, along the U.S. border with Mexico. This is conservative country where the oil and gas industries dominate, making the district more like neighboring west Texas than liberal Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the north.
But the new, Democratic-enacted map scrambled the state’s district lines, stretching this seat much further north and making it highly competitive. Freshman GOP Rep. Yvette Herrell is seeking reelection against Democratic Las Cruces City Councilor Gabe Vasquez. Herrell’s current House district backed Trump over Biden 55%-43%. But the seat she’s now seeking favored Biden over Trump 52%-46%, making her one of the more at-risk members of the House Republican Conference, even in a strong GOP year.
New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District
Rep. Chris Pappas is among the luckiest Democrats of the 2022 cycle. Pappas, first elected to the House in 2018, emerged relatively unscathed from the redistricting process that had been entirely in the hands of state Republicans.
New Hampshire’s pair of House districts have had mostly the same shapes since the 1880s, with lines moved a few miles this or that way across the Merrimack River once a decade. Republicans, holding narrow majorities in both chambers of the legislature, wanted to upend that status quo, turning the 1st Congressional District into a GOP-leaning seat. That would have had a political ripple effect of turning the 2nd Congressional District, in New Hampshire’s western half, into a safely Democratic seat by effectively poaching the bulk of GOP voters from it.
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu had other ideas. He sought to make both seats competitive and ultimately could not reach agreement with state lawmakers over a House map. New Hampshire’s Supreme Court ended up appointing a special master to draw the lines, and the political map that became law included only tiny changes to both House districts.
Not that Pappas has an easy path to reelection. The 1st Congressional District is one of the most politically volatile House seats in the country, often shifting according to the national political winds. In the 10 general elections from 2002 to 2020, Democrats won the seat six times and Republicans four.
Still, Pappas has some advantages. The new district would have favored Biden over Trump 52%-46%. Republicans also have a late primary, on Sept. 13, giving Pappas the playing field to himself for two-and-a-half months more.
GOP primary candidates include ex-television reporter Gail Huff Brown, wife of ex-Sen. Scott Brown, elected as a Republican in Massachusetts who, after losing his seat, ran unsuccessfully for the Senate from New Hampshire. Also in the GOP House primary scrum are ex-Trump White House aides Karoline Leavitt and Matt Mowers, who have endorsements from, respectively. House Minority Leader McCarthy and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Stefanik.
New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster beat a Republican incumbent in 2012 and hasn’t had a tough race since. But that’s likely to change in a political climate in which Democrats are on the defensive, even in a district where Biden would have beaten Trump 54% to 45%. The 2nd Congressional District, straddling the Vermont state line, has drawn seven Republican primary candidates, with Keene Mayor George Hansel considered the favorite.
New York’s 18th Congressional District
No House seat has stirred more Sturm und Drang than this newly drawn district north and west of New York City. It’s a relatively late-campaign cycle creation of New York state’s upended redistricting process.
New York lost a House seat due to comparatively slow population growth from 2010 to ’20. State Democrats, fully in control of the redistricting process, drew a deeply partisan map likely to produce a House delegation with 22 members of their own party and four Republicans. But Republicans sued in state court and won, throwing the process to a special master charged with drawing congressional lines. A court in May finalized a congressional map that obliterated Democratic gains in the state and positioned several incumbents on a collision course with each other.
That included none other than the lawmaker charged with holding House Democrats’ already tenuous House majority, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. His current district overlaps much of the 18th. But he opted to run in the neighboring, newly created 17th District, which includes parts of Rockland and surrounding counties.
It’s a safely Democratic seat but would have forced a member-on-member primary with freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones. After sniping between the pair in the media, Jones decided to run in the New York City-based 10th Congressional District, clearing the way for Maloney to claim the new 17th Congressional District.
The political maneuvering left open the 18th Congressional District, taking in a swath of communities between New York City and the state capital of Albany. The likely Democratic nominee is Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan. Assuming Ryan wins the Aug. 23 Democratic primary, he’ll face state Assemblyman Colin Schmitt.
New York’s 19th Congressional District
A court-ordered redrawing of New York’s House maps is likely a big political gift to Republicans, nowhere more than this seat, stretching from the Hudson Valley to Ithaca. It’s traditionally a GOP territory that over the past 16 years has become more politically competitive. Much of it had been represented in the House since January 2019 by a Democrat, former Rep. Antonio Delgado, who is now lieutenant governor of New York.
The Republican nominee for the new seat will be Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. For the right to face Molinaro in November, Democrats will choose businessman and farmer Jamie Cheney, attorney and former congressional aide Josh Riley, or artist and LGBT rights activist Osun Zotique.
It’s possible Molinaro will enter the fall campaign as an incumbent congressman. That’s because there’s an Aug. 23 special election to fill the remainder of Delgado’s House term in the district where the lines are about to disappear. Molinaro is the Republican nominee in that contest against the November standard-bearer in the neighboring 18th Congressional District, Pat Ryan. Both candidates will immediately pivot to the fall campaign in their neighboring districts.
North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District
State Democrats won a series of lawsuits in state courts to block a Republican gerrymander in North Carolina, which, thanks to robust population growth, picked up a new, 14th House seat after the 2020 census. Most seats are safe for Republican or Democratic candidates, but the 13th Congressional District, just south of Durham, is near evenly split. Former Yale University football star Bo Hines, a graduate of Wake Forest Law School who Trump backed in the competitive Republican primary, will face Democratic state Sen. Wiley Nickel in November.
Ohio’s 1st Congressional District
State Republicans were mostly successful in shoring up GOP incumbents during the redistricting process they controlled. But with Ohio losing a seat due to relatively slow population growth in the decade before 2020, not all sitting lawmakers could be protected. Rep. Steve Chabot may end up as the odd Republican out, even in a likely strong GOP year.
Chabot initially won his Cincinnati-based House seat in the 1994 Republican wave, which ushered in the first House GOP majority in 40 years. Despite Democratic challengers over the years of various qualities, Chabot, with his strongly conservative voting record, has mostly held on. Chabot did lose his seat in 2008, as President Barack Obama led Democratic wins up and down the ballot. But two years later, Chabot rebounded against the Democrat who beat him, reclaimed the seat as Republicans also regained the House majority, and has been safe ever since.
This year, Chabot faces Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman. And in a less favorable district than before. While the district still includes strongly Republican Warren County, it also takes in the entire city of Cincinnati, a blue bastion. And the long Chabot-friendly Western Hills area of Hamilton County has been grafted on to a neighboring district held by another House Republican.
In 2020, Biden would have won the new district by about 8.5 percentage points. Not surprisingly, the DCCC, put Ohio’s 1st Congressional District on its “Red to Blue” list of seats it believes it can flip in 2022.
Ohio’s 9th Congressional District
Of 2022 Republican House candidates who aren’t in office, J.R. Majewski can reasonably claim to be the biggest MAGA supporter. The Air Force veteran made news in 2020 when he used paint to transform his yard into a giant “Trump 2020 banner,” which the president praised on Twitter (six months before being banned from the platform after the Jan. 6 riots.) And Majewski attended the Jan. 6 Trump rally that preceded the president’s supporters’ attack on the Capitol.
Now, Majewski is running for Ohio’s newly redrawn 9th Congressional District. It’s a Toledo-area seat where, in 2020, Trump would have beat Biden 51% to 48%. Majewski defeated two Republican state legislators to win the nomination against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
The district is a massive change from the safely Democratic seats Kaptur has held since 1983, making her the longest-tenured female House member. For instance, the soon-disappearing district Kaptur currently represents would have picked Biden over Trump 59% to 40%.
Ohio’s 13th Congressional District
This new seat, in the southern suburbs of Akron and Cleveland, is another Buckeye State toss-up. The district would have backed Biden over Trump 51% to 48%, but both parties feel good about their chances.
The Republican nominee is attorney Madison Gesiotto Gilbert. She’s had a measure of national exposure in recent years as Miss Ohio USA in 2014, which led her to compete in the Miss USA contest. She is married to former NFL offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert. Democrats have put forward Emilia Sykes, a state representative since 2015. Sykes was state House minority leader for nearly three years, starting in February 2019.
Texas’s 34th Congressional District
Rep. Mayra Flores became a GOP rising star when she won a special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District. In doing so, Flores continued and likely sped up the trend of Republicans making serious inroads in traditionally Democratic South Texas, with its large Latino population. Flores is finishing the term won in 2020 by former Rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned to take a job at a Washington, D.C., law and lobbying firm. The historically blue 34th Congressional District stretches from the U.S.-Mexico border at Brownsville, Texas, north for hundreds of miles.
But in November, Flores will be seeking a full term in a different version of the 34th Congressional District, which will come into being thanks to the Republican-controlled redistricting process. The new 34th Congressional District would have backed Biden over Trump 57.2% to 41.7%. And this time, Flores will be running against an incumbent Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.
Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District
The race for this southeastern Virginia seat, which has one of the largest contingents of active-duty military personnel, pits two female Navy veterans against each other. Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria, first elected in 2018 when she beat an incumbent Republican, is seeking reelection against state Sen. Jen Kiggans.
Luria is a member of the House Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters in a bid to overturn President-elect Biden’s 2020 win. Luria, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, was a Navy officer for 20 years, operating on combat ships. Kiggans is a geriatric nurse practitioner and has represented Norfolk and Virginia Beach in Virginia’s 7th Senate District since November 2019. Prior to that, Kiggans was a naval aviator for 10 years, beginning in 1995.
The coastal Virginia district has the largest concentration of military personnel outside of the Pentagon, with more than 86,000 active-duty military personnel. More than 75 federal facilities and defense installations are in the district. Biden would have beaten Trump in the district 50% to 48%, narrower than in Luria’s current seat, which the president would have prevailed over his White House predecessor 51% to 47%.
Virginia’s 7th Congressional District
Since winning for the first time in 2018, Rep. Abigail Spanberger has been a high-profile Democrat. The former CIA officer has helped Democrats tout their national security credentials. Spanberger at times has also chastised her party about appearing to go too far left. Immediately after winning reelection in 2020 by a narrow margin, Spanberger admonished colleagues over “defund the police” legislative efforts in a phone call with fellow House Democrats. She argued further that party members should “not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again.”
Spanberger got to Congress by beating an incumbent Republican in a district stretching from southern Virginia up through Richmond to the Washington, D.C., exurbs. The newly redrawn 7th Congressional District is more compact and is closer to the nation’s capital.
Spanberger faces Republican nominee Yesli Vega, a Prince William County supervisor. Biden would have won the new seat 52% to 46%, compared to just 50% to 49% in the district currently represented by Spanberger.
Washington state’s 8th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier has kept a low profile nationally since winning her suburban Seattle House seat in 2018. The physician replaced a retiring GOP House member.
CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Schrier’s newly drawn seat, like her current constituency, would have supported Biden over Trump 52% to 45%. But Republicans feel like they have a good shot at beating Schrier in a strong Republican year. In 2020, she only defeated Republican opponent Jesse Jensen 52% to 48%.
Jensen is running again this year, in the all-party primary on Aug. 2. So is another prominent Republican in the area, King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn. He is the son of the late Rep. Jennifer Dunn, who represented previous versions of the district from 1993 to 2005. Another candidate is in the race, too, 2020 attorney general candidate Matt Larkin, who lost to a sitting Democrat for the state’s top law enforcement job.

This “dreadful example” is now so firmly established that it has become a maxim of popular culture, a paradigm of bad social policy, and a ritual invocation of opponents of a variety of sumptuary laws. The record of the 18th Amendment often has been read by libertarians as a morality tale. Detached and abstracted from their historically specific contexts and presented as a single crusade around which cranks and fanatics have clustered for 150 years, temperance and prohibition have been portrayed as touchstones of bigotry. The lineage of reaction is traced straight from sin-obsessed Puritans, to evangelical extremists and Know-Nothings, to nativists and Klansmen, and most recently to McCarthyites and antiabortionists.

Peoples settled in what is now Texas thousands of years before European explorers arrived in North America. Some American Indian oral histories recount how their ancestors traveled to the area by water or land. A large amount of stone artifacts made at least 16,000 years ago have been found in Central Texas. For many years, scientists believed that the first Americans came from Asia 13,000 years ago. The discovery of these artifacts suggests that humans came to the Americas much earlier.

Peoples who lived in the area at the end of the Ice Age are referred to as the “Clovis” people by archaeologists. These people shared the land with mammoths, mastodons, and other Ice Age animals. They traveled long distances to hunt these animals with spears. They also used projectile points and other tools made of Alibates flint. Their stone tools have been found more than 300 miles from the stone's source.

The “Folsom” people lived a hunter-gather lifestyle very similar to the Clovis people. With the mammoth and many other big game species from the Ice Age extinct, the Folsom people followed large herds of bison that were larger than the bison of today. They hunted with a weapon called the atlatl and dart. This weapon system consisted of two parts: a "throwing stick" and a dart which looks similar to an arrow but was much longer.
Prehistoric hunters used atlatls to hurl these darts at their prey. Courtesy Texas Beyond History, a public education service of the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Austin
The “Archaic” people that called the present-day Texas Panhandle home lived in an environment that was rich in various plants and animals. They were slowly transitioning from being nomadic hunter-gatherers to farmers. They gathered various types of plant materials: seeds, roots, berries, and anything else that was edible. They would grind the seed into meal using tools called a “mano and matate” made out of sandstone or dolomite.

More than 5000 years ago in present-day Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, people began to grow corn, beans, and squash. The switch from a nomadic hunter-gatherer life style to horticulture contributed to more reliable food sources and settled lifestyles. Populations grew and cultures flourished.

"Rock art" including pictographs (painted images) and petroglyphs (carved, or incised images) was made by people at least 4,500 years ago throughout the Lower Pecos region of present-day Texas. The symbols in the “White Shaman” mural depict a creation story that can still be interpreted today by Huichol Indians in Mexico.

Beginning at least 2,000 years ago in a Hueco Mountains’ canyon near El Paso, ancient Puebloans held ceremonies where they placed offerings in a cave. The Pueblo people believed that caves were portals to a watery underworld. Among the artifacts found in Ceremonial Cave were a finely crafted bracelet and pendants made of shells from coastal areas hundreds of miles away. These artifacts are evidence of the vast trade routes that existed between diverse communities.

The bow and arrow replaced the atlatl around 700 C.E. The new technology spread across much of North America around this time. Its precise origin is unknown, but it may have been brought into the region by new migrants. The bow was lighter and required fewer resources to make. The arrow was much more lethal than a spear because of its speed, silence, and accuracy.

It is said that Texas owes its name to the Caddo. "Tejas" is a Spanish spelling of the Caddo word that means "those who are friends." Archaeological evidence in the form of fine ceramic pottery indicates that Caddo communities existed in the area as early as 800 C.E. The agriculture-based Caddoes lived in villages and large fortified towns surrounding large plazas with earthen mounds. Atop of the mounds were temples, council houses, and the houses of the tribe’s elites.
Large settlements with mound centers like this existed up and down the Mississippi River and were interconnected through trade. The largest of these fortified communities was Cahokia, located near present-day St Louis, MO. One of Texas's best examples of a Caddo mound is located in present-day Cherokee County.

The “Antelope Creek” people lived in the present-day Texas panhandle between 1150 and 1450. They lived in pueblo like villages where they practiced horticulture and bison hunting. Over a period of 300 years, they dug hundreds of quarries for better flint to make stone tools. Pottery fragments found at Antelope Creek sites provide evidence of extensive trade. The Antelope Creek people left the area abruptly around 1450 AD, perhaps because of drought conditions, disease, or the arrival of hostile Apaches to the area.

Historians believe that the Apache moved down from their native territory in Canada and into North America sometime between 1000 and 1400. They belong to the southern branch of the Athabascan group, whose languages constitute a large family, with speakers in Alaska, western Canada, and the American Southwest.
By the 1600s two groups settled in Texas — the Lipan Apache and the Mescalero. The Mescalero eventually moved on to present-day New Mexico. The arrival of the Apache would begin to alter the trade and territorial claims among the diverse tribes who had settled the area before them.

Spanish explorer Alonso Álvarez de Pineda is credited with being the first European to explore and map the Gulf of Mexico. He set out with four ships and 270 men to find a passage to the Pacific Ocean. There are few records detailing his exploration, although one Spanish document does indicate that he sailed around the coast of Florida, into the Gulf of Mexico, and up a river dotted with palm trees and the villages of native peoples. Earlier interpretations of his voyage identified this river as the Rio Grande, but later data shows that it was probably the Soto la Marina, located in Mexico.
Spanish conquests of the Americas introduced the first enslaved Africans to the region. Among Hernán Cortés’s forces in his siege of Tenochtitlan in 1521 were six Black men, including African born Juan Garrido. Garrido was enslaved in the Caribbean as early as 1503. He participated in the founding of New Spain as a free man and is recognized as the first person to grow wheat in New Spain. While in Mexico City, he established a family and continued to serve with Spanish forces.

In 1527, with five ships, 600 men, and a supply of horses, Pánfilo de Narváez set out for Florida to claim gold and glory for the Spanish empire. His trip seemed doomed from the beginning. Many of his men died, deserted, or were killed by the American Indians whose people and villages the expedition attacked and pillaged. In an effort to escape, Narváez and the remaining members of the expedition set sail in flimsy rafts that were eventually washed up on the Texas Gulf Coast near Galveston. Narvárez drowned on the voyage, but one of the few survivors, conquistador Cabeza de Vaca, wrote detailed memoirs that became the earliest European descriptions of Texas and its people.
Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, one of four survivors of the failed Narváez expedition, washed up on the beach of a Texas Gulf Coast island he named "Malhado," which means "misfortune." The name was apt, because for the next several years, Cabeza de Vaca lived one harrowing moment to another as a captive slave of various Texas American Indians. He kept a detailed diary which has become an invaluable primary source describing the life and peoples of early Texas. In 1536, Spanish soldiers returned Cabeza de Vaca to Mexico City. He eventually made his way back to Spain where he published his memoirs, The Narrative of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, in 1542.
The Karankawa first encountered Europeans when Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca washed up on a Galveston beach in 1528. This encounter, which Cabeza de Vaca wrote about in his diary, is the first recorded meeting of Europeans and Texas American Indians. The Karankawa were several bands of coastal people with a shared language and culture who inhabited the Gulf Coast of Texas from Galveston Bay southwestward to Corpus Christi Bay.

Estevanico was an enslaved African born Mustafa Zemmouri around 1501. He accompanied Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1528 on a multi-year expedition through present-day Texas. On this expedition he gained great knowledge of the languages spoken by American Indians in the area. In 1539, he was ordered by the Spanish Viceroy to be part of a subsequent expedition. On this expedition he was ultimately killed by Zuni Indians at the Hawiku Pueblo in present-day New Mexico.

Bartolomé de las Casas was the first priest to be ordained in the Americas. Conscience-stricken by the abuse of American Indians at the hands of Spanish conquistadors, he crusaded on the native peoples' behalf for over five decades. In 1536, de las Casas participated in a debate in Oaxaca, Mexico, where he argued for the American Indians' right to be treated as individuals with dignity and against the Spanish efforts to convert native peoples to both the Catholic faith and the Spanish culture. His blistering work in 1542, A Brief Report on the Destruction of the Indians, convinced King Charles V to outlaw the conversion practices, but riots among land holders in New Spain (Mexico) convinced authorities not to make any changes in their treatment of American Indians.
Finding gold was one objective of Spanish colonization in North America. Following the report of an explorer who claimed to have seen a gold city in the desert, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado organized an expedition that traveled through the Texas Panhandle. Various historical accounts describe the soldiers' astonishment at the Texas landscape, including Palo Duro Canyon, and the huge, hump-backed cows (buffalo) that roamed the grasslands. Coronado never found any gold in the Panhandle, and the expedition returned to Mexico in 1542.
Hernando de Soto led an exploration of the Gulf Coast area from 1539 until his death in present-day Arkansas in 1542. This expedition marked the first European crossing of the Mississippi River. After de Soto's death, Luis de Moscoso led the explorers into East Texas, home of the powerful Caddo Indians, in an attempt to find an overland route back to New Spain (Mexico). Opinions differ as to the exact route the Moscoso expedition took through Texas, but recent scholarship suggests that they traveled south from East Texas toward present-day Nacogdoches and then into the Hill Country before turning back toward the Mississippi River in Arkansas.
Oil springs and tar pits were known to the Texas Indians. They used the oozings to treat rheumatism and skin diseases. Oil was also seen by the Spanish explorers as early as July 1543, when members of the De Soto expedition saw oil floating in the water near Sabine Pass and used it to caulk their boats. Later, settlers used surface oil for axel grease and for lighting and fuel.

In November, 1552, fifty-four vessels sailed from Spain under the command of Captain-General Bartolomé Carreño. The ships, including six armed vessels, carried cargo and were headed to various parts of the world including New Spain (Mexico) and the Indies. On April 29, 1554, three ships were wrecked in a storm on Padre Island, near present-day Port Mansfield. In the 1960s and 1970s, excavation efforts retrieved thousands of artifacts such as cannons, silver coins, gold bullion, astrolabes, and tools from the wreckage of the San Esteban and the Espiritu Santo. The third sunken ship, the Santa Maria de Yclar, was destroyed during ship channel construction in the 1950s.
Though unsuccessful in establishing a colony among the Pueblo people, Spanish conquistador Antonio de Espejo left a valuable account of his encounters with the Jumano people of Texas's Big Bend area in 1582 to 1583. The Jumano were trading partners of the Spanish for almost two centuries before famine and war sent their population into a steep decline.
After a difficult march through present-day Mexico and Texas, conquistador Juan de Oñate and hundreds of settlers finally reached the Rio Grande in April. During this stop, Oñate officially claimed all the land drained by the Rio Grande as Spanish territory. With this act, the foundation was laid for two centuries of Spanish control of Texas and the American southwest.
Spanish conquistadors first crossed Texas in search of gold in New Mexico. By 1610, the Spanish had established a capital at Santa Fe. Their primary goals were to convert the American Indians to Christianity and to teach them to live according to Spanish culture. The Spanish crown commissioned Franciscan friars to establish missions. From the pueblos of New Mexico, a few priests began to venture into West Texas.
Almost 50 years after their first encounter, the Jumano were revisited by the Spanish in 1629. This would mark the beginning of their relations with the Spanish. The Jumano lands stretched from northern Mexico to eastern New Mexico to West Texas. Some Jumano lived nomadic lifestyles, while others lived in more permanent houses built of reeds or sticks or of masonry, like the pueblos of New Mexico. The Jumano were renowned for their trading and language skills. In time, these expert traders helped establish trade routes as well as diplomatic relationships among American Indians, the Spanish, and the French.

María de Jesús de Agreda was a nun who lived in Spain and had visions of sharing Christianity with people living in distant lands. Her visions were regarded as religious miracles. She was known as the "Woman in Blue" because of her blue Franciscan clothing. 17th century Spanish explorers describe the Jumano as asking for religious instruction to continue the teachings they had received during "visits" from the Woman in Blue. There is no evidence that Sister María left her convent in Spain to visit the Jumano in west Texas, which adds to the mystery of how the Jumano acquired their knowledge of Christianity before the Spanish arrived in Texas.
Fray Juan de Salas and Fray Diego León were the first Spanish missionaries in Texas. In 1629, they traveled to evangelize the Jumanos. In 1632, Juan de Salas and Juan de Ortega established a mission near present-day San Angelo. They were unable to supply or defend the outpost, and after six months, they were forced to abandon the mission.This arrow point is believed to be of Jumano origin.
Spanish shipwreck survivors under the leadership of Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca were the first Europeans to visit "La Junta de Rios," the junction of the Rio Grande and Rio Conchos, near present-day Presidio. Franciscans traveling through La Junta in 1581 performed the first Catholic mass in Texas. In 1670, Franciscans established a mission, but they were expelled after just two years.
Led by the religious leader Po’pay from the Pueblo of Ohkay Owingeh, Pueblo people revolted against the Spanish colonists and drove them out of present-day New Mexico. After the revolt, Pueblo people began trading the horses they had taken control of. The acquisition of horses, and the ability to travel longer distances more easily, would transform the territorial politics between tribes throughout America.

In 1680, the Pueblo people rose up, killed 400 Spanish colonizers, and drove the remaining 2,000 Spanish out of New Mexico. The village of El Paso became the base of Spanish operations for the next 12 years. During this time, the Franciscans established the first successful missions in the El Paso area: Corpus Christi de Isleta, Nuestra Señora de la Limpia Concepción de Socorro, and San Antonio de Senecú.
The Mayeye, a Tonkawa Tribe, first encountered La Salle and his French colonists in 1687. The Tonkawa belonged to the Tonkawan linguistic family that was once composed of a number of small sub-tribes that lived in present-day Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The word "tonkawa" is a Waco term meaning "they all stay together." In the years to come the Tonkawa would have changing relationships with the Spanish and the French.

Circa 1700 In 1706 Spanish officials in New Mexico documented the presence of numerous Comanches on the northeastern frontier of that province. As the Comanches moved south, they came into conflict with tribes already living on the South Plains, particularly the Apaches, who had dominated the region before the arrival of the Comanches. The Apaches were forced south by the Comanche and the two became mortal enemies.

On May 1, 1718, the Spanish established a mission-presidio complex approximately midway between the Rio Grande Valley and the missions of East Texas. This was the founding of the city of San Antonio, the most significant Texas settlement of the Spanish era. The mission of San Antonio de Valero, later known as the Alamo, was moved to its present location in 1724.
The Franciscans turned new attention to East Texas beginning in 1716. They established a mission along the Neches River and built three additional missions in Nacogdoches County. In 1719, French troops attacked a nearby Louisiana mission in an event known to history as the Chicken War because it was little more than a raid on a henhouse. Nonetheless, the Spanish withdrew from East Texas for two years.
The Spanish brought cattle to New Spain soon after they began colonization in the 1500s. The first cattle arrived in Texas in the 1690s. By the 1730s, missionaries were operating cattle ranches around San Antonio and Goliad. Within a few decades, individual ranchers like Martin de León began to build large operations. De León had some 5,000 cattle by 1816.
The first reference to the Comanche in present-day Texas comes in 1743, when a small scouting band appeared in San Antonio looking for their enemies, the Lipan Apache. The Comanches were to become the most dominant people in the area. The name "Comanche" comes from an Ute word that means "enemy." They refer to themselves as the "Nʉmʉnʉʉ" or the "people." The Comanche were originally a Great Plains hunter-gatherer group, but after acquiring horses, they expanded their territory. They became horse experts and migrated into Texas in order to hunt bison and capture the wild horses that roamed the land. They eventually claimed vast areas of north, central, and west Texas as part of "Comancheria."

Ever since the Spanish arrived in the San Antonio area, the Lipan Apache have been at war with them. When the enemy Comanche arrived to the area, the Apache agreed to a peace treaty with the Spanish. The two buried a hatchet in the ground in a ceremony in San Antonio. This led the Spanish to move forward with plans to build missions in Apache territory.

Originally from the area of present-day Kansas, a band of Wichitas moved from Oklahoma and settled along the Red River near present-day Nocona, Texas. They would live there until about 1810, when they gradually returned to present-day Oklahoma. The Wichita called themselves Kitikiti'sh, meaning "raccoon eyes," because the designs of tattoos around the men's eyes resembled the eyes of the raccoon. They lived in villages of dome-shaped grass houses. They farmed extensive fields of corn, tobacco, and melons along the streams where they made their homes and seasonally left their villages for annual hunts.

In 1757, the Spanish established Santa Cruz de San Sabá as a mission to the Apache. The Spanish also hoped to form an alliance with the Apache against the Comanche and allied northern tribes. In March of 1758, over 2,000 Comanche and allied norther tribes staged a massive attack, burning down the mission and killing all but one of the missionaries.
The Spanish negotiated a treaty with the Comanche, who agreed not to make war on missionized Apaches. Continued conflicts with Apaches made it impossible for Comanches to keep their promise. This ultimately led Spanish officials to advocate for breaking their alliance with the Apache in favor of a Spanish-Comanche alliance aimed at subduing the Apaches.

Since they first arrived to the Americas in the early 1500s, European diseases decimated diverse indigenous communities. In 1775 a smallpox epidemic killed hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Native peoples in North America. The virus was carried by people along the trade routes from Mexico City and moved north to Comancheria and farther north to the Shoshone. An estimated 90% of the American Indian population died from epidemics. The deadly diseases greatly shifted the balance of power between American Indians and Europeans.

This painting by Francisco Clapera depicts a Spanish father and African mother playing with their son in colonial Mexico. This image exemplifies the Casta system established in Spanish territory by the late 16th century. The Casta system classified any genetic connection with Black Africans as a “stain” on the purity of Spanish blood. This created the classifications of Mulatos (children of Spaniards and Africans) and Mestizos (children of Spaniards and American Indians). Under Spanish law, marriage between the races was legal as long as the individuals were Catholic. It was common in the Spanish colonies for people from different racial groups to intermarry and have families.

El Mocho, a Lipan Apache who as a child was captured and adopted by the Tonkawa, became a chief of the Tonkawa after a small pox epidemic killed most of the tribe’s elders. Hoping to free his people from Spanish control, he formed a loose confederacy of groups that included the Tonkawas, the Lipan Apaches, and some Comanches and Caddos.

Trade between Texas and Louisiana had been prohibited early in the 18th century. That ban was lifted in 1779. Ranching became more profitable as Spanish ranchers were able to drive their cattle along the Old San Antonio Road into the French territory of Louisiana. New Orleans soon became a major new market for ranchers.
The Comanche accepted a peace deal with the Spanish, allowing Spaniards to travel through their lands. In exchange, Spain offered to help the Comanche in their war with the Apache. Peace between the Spanish and Comanche lasted 30 years. The Comanches were to become the dominate force in the area, both in trade and warfare.

By 1795, ranchers were no longer required to pay the Mustang Fund taxes and were given one tax-free year to round up and brand wild livestock. This change in policy resulted in the increased transportation of cattle to markets in Louisiana and northern Mexico where they were sold for their tallow, hides, and meat.
Cherokees were first reported in Texas in 1807, when a small band established a village on the Red River. American expansion had forced them to the west. They were an agricultural people whose ancestral lands covered much of the southern Appalachian highlands, an area that included parts of Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.
In the summer of that year, a delegation of Cherokees, Pascagoulas, Chickasaws, and Shawnees sought permission from Spanish officials in Nacogdoches to settle members of their tribes in that province. The request was approved by Spanish authorities, who intended to use the displaced tribes as a buffer against American expansion.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade involved the forced migration of millions of enslaved African peoples to the Americas throughout the 16th to 19th centuries. Although it was banned by Britain and the U.S. in 1808, it did not decrease the role of slavery throughout the South. The widespread trade of enslaved peoples within the South continued, aided by the self-sustaining population of children born into slavery.

In 1820, Moses Austin traveled to San Antonio and negotiated permission to settle 300 Anglo American families in Texas, but he died before his plans could be realized. Moses' son, Stephen F. Austin, traveled to Texas to renegotiate his father's grant and to scout land near Brazoria. In December 1821, the younger Austin began bringing the settlers to their new home.

In search of new opportunities in the unsettled territory of Tejas, Moses Austin hoped to bring 300 families to the Mexican province in 1820. With the help of Baron de Bastrop, Austin received approval from the Spanish governor to bring settlers into Tejas. Moses Austin died in 1821, however, and his son, Stephen F. Austin, inherited the land grant for 300 families. Austin settled the land near the Brazos and Colorado in 1824.
The Mexican territory of Tejas was opened to settlers on the conditions that they become Mexican citizens, learn Spanish and adopt the Catholic faith. Moses Austin, a founder of America's lead industry, obtained government permission to bring colonists to the territory. He died before the "Texas Venture" began and his son, Stephen, led 300 families on the journey to establish new colonies along the Brazos, Colorado and San Bernard Rivers.
As the people of Mexico began to feel exploited by Spanish colonialism, a series of revolts began in 1801. On September 27, 1821, the Spanish signed a treaty recognizing Mexico's independence. Since Moses Austin had been granted permission by Spain to bring American families to Texas, his son Stephen had to renegotiate the land grant and settlements with the new Mexican government.
In 1822 Cherokee Chief Bowl sent diplomatic chief Richard Fields to Mexico to negotiate with the Mexican government for a grant to land occupied by Cherokees in East Texas. After two years of waiting to receive a grant, Richard Fields tried to unite diverse tribes in Texas into an alliance and began to encourage other displaced tribes to settle in Texas.

Mexico established rules for settling colonies in 1824. During this time, they also joined Coahuila and Texas, forming a unified Mexican state "Coahuila y Tejas." With the passage of the Coahuila-Texas colonization law, Mexico encouraged foreign settlers to buy land in the territory with a $30 down payment, without the requirement of paying taxes for ten years after that.
In 1825, Haden Edwards received a land grant in east Texas for 800 settlers. A dispute for leadership soon broke out in Edwards' colony. He and his allies formed an alliance with the Cherokees and declared the independent republic of Fredonia. Mexican troops restored order, but the incident led Mexico to severely restrict further immigration into Texas from the United States and Europe, a bitter pill for the majority of colonists who had remained peaceable.
Settlers weren't ready to embrace their new Mexican identity upon moving into the country. Largely, they didn't see themselves as Mexican nationals and, in fact, referred to themselves as "Texians." Additionally, many of Austin's settlers came from the American south who brought enslaved African Americans with them, despite Mexico's laws prohibiting slavery. Because of the lack of allegiance to the nation, Mexican officials feared they would lose control of the state. They began encouraging more migration from Mexicans into the area.
Issued by President Vincente R. Guerrero on September 15, 1829, this decree abolished slavery throughout the Republic of Mexico. The news of the decree alarmed Anglo settlers in Texas, who petitioned Guerrero to exempt Texas from the law. The decree was never put into operation, but it made many Anglo settlers worry that their interests were not protected, planting the seeds of revolution.

On April 6, 1830, the Mexican government passed several new laws that were very unpopular with the Anglo American settlers. These laws increased the presence of the Mexican military, implemented new taxes, forbade the settlers from bringing more slaves into Texas, and banned new immigration from the United States. The grievances that would lead to the Texas Revolution had begun to accumulate.

The Mexican army established a garrison at Anahuac to collect tariffs, end smuggling, and enforce the ban on immigration from the United States. Tensions rose to a boil when the fort's commander took in several runaway slaves. The unrest culminated at nearby Velasco when a group of settlers tried to take a cannon from a Mexican fort. At least ten Texans and five Mexican soldiers died in the fighting.
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna led a successful revolt against President Bustamante. Texans were initially okay with this development because of Santa Anna's support for the Constitution of 1824, which was very similar to the U.S. Constitution. However, Santa Anna nullified the 1824 Constitution in favor of a more centralized government and was no longer supportive of Texas self-rule.
At the Convention of 1833, 56 Texas delegates drafted a resolution requesting that Mexico roll back many of the changes in Mexican law that took place in 1830. Texans wanted Mexico to allow immigration from the U.S., provide more protection from native peoples, exempt Texans from anti-slavery laws, improve the mail service, and separate Texas from Coahuila. Stephen F. Austin, along with Dr. James B. Miller, presented the proposals to Santa Anna. Austin was imprisoned in Mexico City on suspicion of inciting insurrection. Eventually, the Mexican government repealed the Law of 1830, but would not grant statehood to Texas. Amidst the conflict, thousands upon thousands of Americans were immigrating to Texas.
"War is declared." So wrote Stephen F. Austin after the Battle of Gonzales, when Mexican authorities tried to seize the town's cannon and were met with the now-famous battle cry, "Come and take it!" After Gonzales, the unrest in Texas spiraled out of control. Santa Anna's determination to quell the rebellion would end with the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836 and Texas' independence.

Tension grew between Texas and Mexico. Texans, with a growing influx of American settlers, pushed for separate statehood, resulting in many minor skirmishes with Mexico. The first notable battle of the Texas Revolution occurred when Texans at Gonzales refused to return a small cannon lent to them by Mexican authorities. On October 2, Colonel John H. Moore and his company famously rolled out the cannon under a flag that read, “Come and Take It.” The short fight that resulted sparked the beginning of the Revolution. Mexicans retreated, but the battle had just begun.
A large force of mostly Comanches attacked a private fort built by Silas and James Parker near the upper Navasota River. In the attack Silas and two women were killed. His daughter Cynthia Ann (9), son John (6), and three others were taken by the Comanche. In time Cynthia Ann Parker was fully adopted by the Comanche, eventually becoming a wife of Chief Peta Nocona and the mother of Chief Quanah Parker.

Written in 1836, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas protected slavery in the new nation. The General Provisions of the Constitution forbade any slave owner from freeing enslaved people without the consent of Congress and forbade Congress from making any law that restricted the slave trade or emancipated the enslaved. This solidified the importance of slavery in Texas from its founding.

The Republic of Texas was born on March 2, 1836, when 58 delegates at Washington-on-the-Brazos signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. The first Texas Congress met at Columbia in the fall of 1836 to set the border with Mexico at the Rio Grande, a decision based on an aggressive interpretation of the Louisiana Purchase. The river remained under the control of Mexico, however, as the Mexican government did not recognize Texas' independence.

On March 1, 59 delegates held the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos. There they drafted the Texas Declaration of Independence and adopted it on March 2. During the Convention, delegates also drafted the Texas Constitution, outlining their plan for the new Republic. This took place only a month after Santa Anna entered Texas with his army of 6,000 men. Mexico’s army vastly outnumbered the Texas rebels.
Merely declaring independence was a long way from winning the revolution. On March 6, 1836, Santa Anna led an attack on the Alamo. Under the command of William B. Travis and James Bowie, Texas rebels fought a fierce battle against the Mexican army. Casualties were high on both sides, but Santa Anna’s army ultimately triumphed. The defenders of the Alamo were killed in the attack, including famed frontiersman and former U.S. Congressman David Crockett. Those who did survive were captured and executed by Santa Anna’s troops. News of the defeat spread to Gonzales, where Sam Houston had formed an army. Feeling unprepared for the advancing army, Houston ordered Gonzales be evacuated and burned. The month-long flight, where evacuees headed east with news of Santa Anna’s advance, is known as “The Runaway Scrape.” In Goliad, Colonel James Fannin had been ordered to abandon his position to join Texas forces with General Houston; however, he remained at the fort at Goliad. They fought the Mexican Army at the Battle of Coleto, but faced the same fate as the soldiers at the Alamo. They were defeated, and the Santa Anna gave the order to have Fannin's captured army executed.
Independence seemed out of reach after the Alamo and Goliad. General Houston drew criticism for not having yet attacked Santa Anna's advancing army;. Ordered to stop his retreat by ad interim President David G. Burnet, Houston returned west, receiving word that Santa Anna's army was encamped on the west side of the Buffalo Bayou and the San Jacinto River, inside the present-day city limits of Houston. At 3:30 p.m. on April 21, outnumbered and facing impossible odds, Houston ordered the attack on Mexican army. With shouts of "Remember the Alamo!" and "Remember Goliad!", the ragtag militia descended upon the Mexican army. It is widely believed Santa Anna and his soldiers were indulging in an afternoon siesta and therefore were not ready to face the attack, which lasted approximately 18 minutes. Nine Texans were killed, and 630 Mexicans lost their lives. Santa Anna was captured after the battle. And so began the Republic of Texas.
Greenberry Logan was a free person of color who arrived in Texas in 1831. He fought and was injured at the Siege of Bexar (December 1835). Despite his military service, the Texas Constitution sought to remove all free persons of color unless they obtained permission from Congress to continue living in Texas. Logan and his wife Caroline submitted their petition to remain in March 1837, asking that they “might be allowed the privilege of spending the remainder of [their] days in quiet and peace.” Congress honored their request.

The second president of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, took over a bankrupt and lawless country. Driven by a vision of future greatness, Lamar ruthlessly drove the Cherokee from Texas, waged war with the Comanche, and undertook a disastrous expedition to open a trade route to Santa Fe. He also founded a new capital in Austin and laid the foundation that would one day create schools, colleges, and world-famous universities.

Under the second president of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, the capital was relocated to Austin. Many in Congress believed that Houston was too far from the original Texas settlements, so the commission surveyed land north of San Antonio between the Trinity and Colorado Rivers. Lamar set up a commission to begin researching potential locations for the new capital. They ultimately chose the village of Waterloo and changed the name to Austin to honor the legacy of Stephen F. Austin.
Land was cheap— $.50 an acre compared to $1.25 in the U.S.— but settlement was difficult in the rugged and dangerous Republic of Texas. As a result, land sales attracted more speculators than actual settlers. To encourage settlement, the Texas Congress passed a homestead law. President Sam Houston opposed the bill because of rampant fraud and illegal claims on land titles, and kept the General Land Office closed throughout his term.

President Lamar ordered the Rangers to attack Comanche villages in his campaign to drive American Indians out of Texas. War chiefs agreed to peace negotiations with the Rangers at Council House in San Antonio. At the talks, the Comanches entered with an injured hostage and demanded more money for the remaining hostages. Soon bullets and arrows flew. Six Texans and many Comanche war chiefs, women, and children died. The stage was set for the Battle of Plum Creek.
Zylpha “Zelia” Husk emigrated to Texas by 1838 from Alabama and worked as a laundress in Houston. In 1840, Texas passed an Act Concerning Free Persons of Color that ordered all free Black people living in Texas to leave within two years unless granted an exemption by Congress. Husk petitioned the Republic for permanent residency in 1841. Fifty different white residents from Harris County testified that “we have known Zelp[ha] Husk for at least two or three years as a free woman of color, … she has conducted herself well and earned her living by honest industry.”

When Texas sought recognition from Great Britain as a sovereign nation, they signed a treaty to suppress the transatlantic slave trade. They mutually agreed that the Royal Navy and Texas Navy could detain and search each other’s ships for enslaved Africans or equipment typically found on a slave-trading vessel. This included shackles, hatches with open gratings, larger quantities of water and food than what the crew needed, and spare planking for laying down a slave deck. If ships were found with any of these things, their crews could be found guilty of illegally participating in the African slave trade.

In 1836, the Republic of Texas voted in favor of annexation by the United States, but the U.S. wasn't interested because of concerns over the Republic's pro-slavery stance and an impending war with Mexico. By 1843, with the threat of British involvement in the Texas issue, U.S. President John Tyler proposed annexation. Texas drew up a state constitution in October 1845 and was admitted as the 28th U.S. state by the end of the year.
Texas' annexation to the United States was blocked over concern about slavery and debt. James K. Polk was elected President of the United States in 1844 on a promise to annex Texas (slave state) and the Oregon Territory (free state). The final obstacle to annexation was removed when Texas was allowed to keep its public lands to pay off its debt. Texas became the 28th U.S. state on December 29, 1845.

Head chiefs for the Comanche including Buffalo Hump, Santa Anna, and others signed a treaty with John O. Meusebach, who acted on behalf of German settlers. The treaty allowed settlers to travel into Comancheria and for the Comanche to go to the white settlements. More than three million acres of land opened up to settlement as a result.

The annexation of Texas bolstered westward expansion of the United States. Settlers moved to Texas in droves. President Polk defined the border between Texas and Mexico at the Rio Grande, but Mexico did not agree. Diplomatic solutions failed. Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor to position troops along the north bank of the Rio Grande to protect the Texas boundary. The Mexican government saw this as an invasion and thus an act of war, resulting in the Battle of Palo Alto in Brownsville on May 8, 1846—the first major battle of the U.S.-Mexican War. War was officially declared by U.S. Congress on May 13.
On February 2, 1848, the U.S.-Mexican War was brought to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The treaty established boundaries between the United States and Mexico, with Mexico officially recognizing Texas as a part of the United States. Additionally, the treaty included the acquisition of Mexico's northern territory—which included California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as parts of Wyoming and Colorado—for $15 million. The United States added more than 25% of its present day size, and Mexico lost over half its land as a result of the treaty.
"Four newly raised ranging companies, have all been organized, and taken their several stations on our frontier. We know they are true men; and they know exactly what they are about. With many of them, Indian and Mexican fighting has been their trade for years. That they may be permanently retained in the service on our frontier is extremely desirable."

On December 10, 1850, representatives from the U.S. government and the southern Comanche, Lipan Apache, Caddo, Quapaw, and various Wichita bands met for treaty negotiations at the Spring Creek Council Grounds. The tribal representatives agreed to stay west of the Colorado River and north of the Llano River, to abide by U.S. laws, and to turn over fugitive enslaved people and individuals being held as prisoners. The agent for the U.S. agreed to regulate traders in American Indian territory, establish at least one trade house, and send blacksmiths and teachers to live with the tribes.

As the United States grew, so did the need for a more reliable transportation system. Travel was difficult in antebellum Texas, worsened by the expansive and unforgiving terrain in the west. Businesses also needed a way to ship their goods through the expanding area. This prompted the construction of the first railroad in Texas, which opened in 1853. Known as the "Harrisburg Railroad," the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Colorado Railway ran about 20 miles from Harrisburg to Stafford's Point.
On October 29, 1853, Alabama Chief Antone, the tribal subchiefs, and prominent citizens of Polk County presented a petition to the Texas legislature requesting land for a reservation. In part to thank the tribes for their support of the Texas Revolution in 1836, the petition was approved. The State of Texas purchased 1,110.7 acres of land for the Alabama Indian reservation. About 500 tribe members settled on this land during the winter of
1854–55. In 1855 the Texas legislature appropriated funds to purchase 640 acres for the Coushattas.

Upper and Lower Brazos Reservation was created in northern Texas. About 2,000 Caddo, Keechi, Waco, Delaware, Tonkawa, and Penateka Comanche, lived on the reservation. Five years later, attacks by white settlers and encroachments on the reservation resulted in the diverse tribes being forcibly removed to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma.

As the number of settlers to Texas increased, so did the number of attacks as the Americans Indians were driven off their tribal lands. Texas Governor Hardin Runnels appropriated $70,000 to fund a force of 100 Rangers led by the legendary Senior Captain John "RIP" Ford. The Rangers spent the next several years fighting pitched battles with American Indian tribes as well as Mexican soldiers.
The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 prompted the secession of Southern, slave-holding states. The majority of Texans feared the election of a Republican would threaten slavery, which they believed was a vital part of the economy of the young state. Not all Texans bought into the idea of secession, most notably Sam Houston, the Unionist governor of the state. Although Houston himself was a slave-owner and opposed abolition, he actively worked to keep the state from seceding. However, the State Legislature voted in favor of an Ordinance of Secession on February 23, 1861. Governor Houston was evicted from office when he refused to take an oath to the Confederacy. Houston was replaced by Lieutenant Governor Edward Clark. This would mark the beginning of a long, bloody battle between the North and South. The Union would prove victorious four years later.
By a vote of 166 to 8, the Secession Convention of Texas voted to withdraw from the Union. Independence was declared on March 2, and on March 5, Texas joined the Confederate States of America. Governor Sam Houston refused to take an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy. When the Convention removed him from office on March 16, Houston's political career was over. The statesman retired to Huntsville where he died two years later.
All able-bodied men were required to report for service to the Confederate Army. This left many Texas colonies and forts with no defense from continual Comanche and Kiowa raids. The Texas Legislature passed an act authorizing the formation of the Frontier Regiment. These Rangers patrolled 18 forts located along a 500-mile line from the Red River to the Rio Grande. By 1863, all Frontier Regiment Rangers were drafted into the Confederate Army.
The Freedman's Bureau was a federal agency created to assist African Americans in the South with their transition to freedom following the Civil War. It was established by Congress in March 1865 as a branch of the United States Army and operated in Texas from late September 1865 until July 1870. The agency assisted newly freed African Americans with legal matters, education, and employment. The Bureau was also tasked with curbing the violence inflicted upon African Americans, especially by the KKK, a newly founded hate group.

The economic devastation of the South after the Civil War meant Texas ranchers had to look elsewhere for profitable markets. In the North and East, cattle that were worth just $4 a head in Texas could be sold for $40. The challenge was getting them there. Cow folk and their cattle traveled the famed Chisholm Trail that crossed the Red River and headed into Kansas in order to reach the rail heads that could take the cattle to market.
The Army Reorganization Act authorized Congress to form the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry units. The soldiers signed up for five years and received three meals a day, a uniform, an education and $13.00 a month pay. These African American troops become known as "Buffalo Soldiers" because of their bravery in battles against Native Americans. The term eventually became a reference for all African American soldiers.
Cathay Williams was a cook for the Union Army. When the Civil War ended, Cathay needed to support herself. She signed up with the 25th Infantry Buffalo Soldiers as William Cathay. When she was hospitalized, the doctor discovered her secret. On October 14, 1868, "William Cathay" was declared unfit for duty and honorably discharged. In 1891, Cathay applied for a military pension, but was denied because women weren't eligible to be soldiers.
Fort Lancaster 9th Cavalry Company K soldiers were moving their horses to pasture. 400 Kickapoo Indians advanced toward the fort. The Buffalo Soldiers scurried to fire at the invaders while herding their valuable horses back toward the fort's corral. Bullets and arrows flew throughout the night. By the time the battle ended the next morning, Company K had lost 38 cavalry horses and two soldiers to the Kickapoo.
After the Civil War, the United States entered the era of Reconstruction, during which former Confederate States had to meet certain conditions for readmission into the Union. This included recognizing the U.S. constitutional amendments that ended slavery and rewriting their state constitutions. Nine African Americans were delegates to the 1868 Constitutional Convention. One of these delegates, George T. Ruby was elected to the Texas Senate a year later, becoming the first African American to serve in the legislature. Texas was readmitted to the United States on March 30, 1870.
Hyrum Wilson and several others between 1869 and 1872 owned and operated a pottery company on land granted to them by their former enslaver, John Wilson. Years of experience in John Wilson’s pottery shop provided the newly freed men the knowledge and skills needed to establish and operate their own pottery company. The enterprise’s success provided a livelihood for the potters that differed from sharecropping and tenant farming, both of which tied African Americans to landowners in a manner much like slavery.

When the Twelfth Provisional Legislature began in February 1870, it included Texas’s first two African American legislators. Elected in 1869 to serve in the Texas Senate were George T. Ruby, a former Freedmen’s Bureau agent originally from New York, and Matthew Gaines, a Baptist preacher. Together, these men pushed for resolutions to protect African American voters and supported bills for public education and prison reform.

The original four infantry units of Buffalo Soldiers were reorganized into two regiments. The original 38th and 41st regiments became the 24th regiment, and the 39th and 40th were combined to become the 25th regiment. From that point on, the Buffalo Soldiers troops were comprised of the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments and the 24th and 25th Infantry regiments.
A new technique for tanning bison hides became commercially available. In response, commercial hunters began systematically targeting bison for the first time. Once numbering in the tens of millions, the bison population plummeted. By 1878, the American Bison were all but extinct. This was a terrible blow to the American Indians whose livelihood depended on the bison and to whom the bison is a sacred animal.

During Reconstruction, southern states were required to nullify acts of secession, abolish slavery, and ratify the 13th Amendment in order to be readmitted to the Union. Texas balked on the slavery issue, which prompted Congress to require that the Texas Legislature also pass the 14th and 15th Amendments before being considered for readmission. When Texas finally met all conditions, President Ulysses S. Grant readmitted Texas to the United States.
Sergeant Emmanuel Stance of the 9th Cavalry left Fort McKavett to rescue two children captured in an Apache raid. Stance and his men fought off the Apaches multiple times. Both children and over a dozen stolen horses were recovered. For his valor, Stance was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and became the first African American soldier to win the country's highest civilian medal in the post-Civil War period.
Kiowas and Comanche attacked a freight wagon train on the Salt Creek Prairie of Young County and killed the wagon master and seven teamsters. In response U.S. Army Gen. Sherman ordered operations to arrest any Comanche and Kiowa found away from their reservation. Chiefs Satank, Satanta, and Big Tree were arrested and put on trial. They were the first Native American leaders to be tried for raids in a U.S. Court.

In 1871, Ransom and Sarah Williams purchased 45 acres in southern Travis County, despite the discriminatory labor practices that kept most African Americans from earning enough money to purchase land. The Williams family supported themselves by raising horses and farming. Objects left behind at the farmstead show that the family was successful enough to have money to spend on toys, costume jewelry, manufactured dish sets imported from England, and mass-produced patent medicines and extracts.

While on an expedition to the Llano Estacado, US Cavalry companies and Tonkawa scouts attacked a Comanche village on the North Fork of the Red River. About 13 women and children and their horse herd of some 800 animals were captured. Three soldiers were killed and seven wounded. The Comanche suffered 50 killed and seven wounded. The prisoners were sent to Fort Sill in Indian Territory.

Black troops in the U.S. Army were stationed throughout Texas, the Southwest, and the Great Plains. They were given the name "Buffalo Soldiers" by Native Americans. Four regiments served in Texas: the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 24th and 25th Infantry. The Buffalo Soldiers participated in many frontier campaigns and were responsible for a variety of military tasks, including building roads and escorting mail parties through the frontier.
Beginning in 1868, a series of patents was issued to several inventors for strong, mass-produced fencing made from interlocking strands of wire, outfitted with sharp barbs that discouraged even the toughest cattle from muscling through it. In 1876, two salesman demonstrated barbed wire in the Alamo Plaza in San Antonio. Within a few years, the simple, revolutionary invention had ended the open range.
By the winter of 1873‒1874, the Southern Plains Indians were in crisis. The reduction of the buffalo herds combined with increasing numbers of settlers and military patrols had put them in an unsustainable position. Led by Isa-tai and Quanah Parker, 250 warriors on June 27th attacked a small outpost of buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle. This would start the Red River (or Buffalo) War.

The U.S. Army began a campaign to remove all Comanche, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne, and Arapaho from the southwest plains and relocate them to reservations in Indian Territory. Led by Comanche Chief Quanah Parker, the Indian tribes fought one last battle for their native lands. The U.S. Army, including all regiments of the Buffalo Soldiers, engaged the Indians in over 20 battles from 1874 to 1875 in the Texas panhandle around the Red River.
The cattle drives faced the constant threat of attack by American Indians. In a series of battles known as the Red River War, the U.S. Army defeated a large force of Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Comanche at Palo Duro Canyon, by capturing and killing their horses. Without their ability to make war, the Indians were forced to relocate to reservations in Oklahoma, opening up the Staked Plains to cattle ranching.
The Red River War officially ended in June 1875 when Quanah Parker and his band of Quahadi Comanche entered Fort Sill and surrendered. They were the last large band in Texas. The United States had now defeated the unified Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, and Kiowa and forcibly confined them to reservations.

Created in 1876 as a result of legislation in Texas that mandated higher education opportunities for African Americans, Prairie View A&M became the first state supported institution of higher learning for African Americans in Texas. The school’s original curriculum was the training of teachers, but in 1887 it expanded to include agriculture, nursing, arts and sciences, and mechanical arts, and by 1932, the college initiated graduate programs in agricultural economics, rural education, agricultural education, and rural sociology.

Since Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836, the Texas Constitution has undergone five revisions. The Constitution of 1876 was the sixth revision of the document and established the foundation for the law still in effect in Texas today. The 1875 constitution, in part a reaction to Reconstruction, shortened terms and lowered salaries of elected officials, decentralized control of public education, limited powers of both the legislature and governor, and provided biennial legislative sessions. The new constitution also created the University of Texas and confirmed the creation of Texas A&M, setting aside one million acres of land for the Permanent University Fund.
Sixty 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, led by Captain Nicholas Nolan, headed out from Fort Concho across drought-stricken north Texas in pursuit of raiding Comanches. Over the next five days, the troops became lost in the waterless Llano Estacado. Soldiers were delusional from dehydration and many drank the blood of their dead horses in order to survive. Four soldiers died. This incident, called "The Staked Plains Horror," made headlines across the nation.
The African American community of Quakertown opened its first school in 1878. The community itself had formed within the Denton city limits by the mid-1870s. It is most likely named after the Quakers who aided freedmen in the early years of Reconstruction. When the school opened, many African American families from a neighboring community, Freeman Town (the first black settlement in Denton), relocated to Quakertown.

Two factors ended the legendary cattle drives. By 1879, the railroads had fully extended their reach into Texas, with 2,440 miles of track. The next year saw the first patent for refrigerated railcars, meaning meat no longer needed to be transported "on the hoof." The Chisolm Trail was obsolete and the Texas cattle industry entered a new era.
A band of Warm Springs and Mescalero Apaches under Chief Victorio terrorized southern New Mexico and West Texas. During July and August, detachments of the 10th Cavalry and 25th Infantry battled with the Apaches and denied them access to water in the trans-Pecos region of West Texas. Victorio withdrew to the mountains of Mexico, where he was killed by Mexican soldiers.

In 1881, a small war party of Lipan Apache attacked and looted the house of an American settler in Texas, killing two people. Thirty Black-Seminole Scouts led by Lt. John L. Bullis pursued the band of Lipan Apache raiders into Mexico. It was the last military action against American Indians conducted by the United States in Texas.

The fight for women's equality began long before they won the right to vote in 1919. In the 1880's, Jenny Bland Beauchamp led the formation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Although the group's primary focus was battling the ills of alcohol abuse, they pushed the Texas Legislature for many social reforms, including women's suffrage. WCTU members were the foundation of the women's suffrage organizations that began to form in the next decade.
In an non-violent walkout aimed at five ranches, Texas cowboys protested the new practice of being paid in cash instead of cattle. The strike ended with a slight pay increase but no return to a livestock-based salary system. The cowboy life was a hard one, with most men moving on after just a couple of years.
The Colored Teachers State Association of Texas was created to unite African American educators across Texas. The Association promoted quality education for students and good working conditions for teachers. They supported teachers through professional development opportunities and by advocating for issues like equal salaries.

Two devastating blizzards in the winter of 1886 stunned cattle ranchers. Before barbed wire, cattle's free roaming ways had usually enabled them to survive such storms, but now they were stranded behind their fences and died before ranchers could reach them with feed. Combined with falling cattle prices and overgrazing, the winter of 1886 dealt such a blow to the ranchers that it became known as "The Great Die-Up."
In 1859, a huge oil discovery in Pennsylvania made kerosene the dominant lighting fuel in America. The first deliberate oil strike in Texas was at Oil Springs near Nacogdoches in 1866. This well produced only about ten barrels a day. A locally successful well was drilled in Brown County in 1880 that produced about 100 barrels a day. At that time, there was no practical means of shipping the oil out of state.

Named after its co-founder Daniel Dabney, the Dabney Hill Missionary Baptist Church held its first service in October 1887. The church became and has remained the center of the Dabney Hill Freedman’s settlement in Burleson County. Churches like this one gave African Americans a place to worship, learn, and socialize away from the violence and discrimination they faced in the Jim Crow South. Two of its congregants – Rev. Albert A. Lucas and Rev. S. M. Wright – went on to become prominent voices in the Civil Rights Movement in Texas.

In the late 1870s, Texas officials decided that the original capitol building, built in 1853, was too small and understated for the post-Reconstruction grandeur of Texas. Plans for a new capitol were in the works when the old building burned down in 1881. The new capitol was designed by Elijah E. Meyers, who had previously designed the 1871 Michigan capitol. Ground broke in 1882 and construction was complete in 1888. The opening ceremony took place in May 1888, but the building didn't reach completion until late November of that year with the placement of the Goddess of Liberty atop the dome.
"Always in the vanguard of civilization and in contact with the most warlike and savage Indians of the Plains. The officers and men have cheerfully endured many hardships and privations, and in the midst of great dangers steadfastly maintained a most gallant and zealous devotion to duty...it cannot fail, sooner or later, to meet with due recognition and reward..."
-- General Benjamin Grierson, relinquishing command of the 10th Cavalry
Anthony F. Lucas was a salt mining engineer from Louisiana who thought that the upper Gulf Coast had great potential for oil discovery. But an 1892 attempt to drill for oil in Beaumont failed due to quicksand. When he could raise the necessary investment, Lucas continued to explore and drill in the area for the next nine years.
In 1894, crews drilling for water in Corsicana struck oil instead. The result was chaos. So many wells were drilled that operators poured excess oil on the ground, and the price fell to less than 50 cents a barrel. To stem the contamination and waste, Corsicana contracted to build pipelines, storage tanks, and a refinery. This operation was called the Magnolia Petroleum Company, one day to be known as Mobil.
On October 3, the Texas Legislature declared "prizefighting" (boxing) illegal in the state. All Rangers were called in to stop the much-anticipated Fitzsimmons-Maher fight. When Ranger Captain Bill McDonald arrived alone in Langtry, the city's mayor asked where the rest of the Rangers were. McDonald allegedly replied, "Hell, ain't I enough? There's only one prizefight!" The One Riot, One Ranger slogan was born.
Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Robert Lloyd Smith moved to Texas in the late 1870s where he worked towards the advancement of education for African Americans. He also founded the Farmers' Home Improvement Society in Colorado County to encourage economic independence for African American farmers. He was elected to the Texas legislature in 1894 and 1896. When the 1897 session closed, it marked the end of African American participation in the Texas legislature for 70 years as the expansion of Jim Crow laws kept African Americans from being elected until 1966. Undaunted, he went on to serve in Theodore Roosevelt’s administration until 1909. He built a successful manufacturing business and became a leader in the National Negro Business League.

In the war with Spain, Major General Shafter led 17,000 troops, including 3,000 Buffalo Soldiers, into Cuba. The 24th Infantry and the 9th and 10th Cavalry charged up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Roosevelt later said,"No one can tell whether it was the Rough Riders or the men of the 9th who came forward with the greater courage to offer their lives in the service of their country."

At its height, the Corsicana field produced over 800,000 barrels a year, in an era where remote Texas still could not compete with Pennsylvania oil. Corsicana and the Magnolia Company worked to develop Texas markets for fuel, asphalt, and illumination. In 1899, the state enacted the first laws regulating the industry, requiring operators to cap off wells to protect groundwater and to stop letting natural gas escape into the air.
"For the black man there is no glory in war... No; there is no honor, and but slight reward; let him fight like he can, in such furious onslaughts that nothing but the walls of hell can withstand him; and prove, to those vile creatures who would rob him of his glory and prowess, the soldier that he is, the most courageous...and the finest soldier the world has known."
-- American Citizen Kansas City newspaper
Because of the success at Corsicana, further exploration was conducted throughout Navarro Country. This led to the discovery of the Powell oilfield in 1900. By 1906 Powell produced 673,221 barrels of oil, which grew to more than 33 million barrels in 1924. The little town of Powell doubled in size to 500 people, a foreshadowing of the wild oil boomtowns to come.
On January 10, 1901, at 10:30 a.m., a gusher called Spindletop blew in—and changed Texas forever. Wildcatter Anthony F. Lucas had been right about what lay under the salt dome near Beaumont. Spindletop nearly ripped its derrick to pieces and shot a tower of pure crude 100 feet in the air. It took more than a week to bring the giant gusher under control. The black gold headlines spread around the world.

Former Standard Oil executive Joseph F. Cullinan had founded Magnolia Company to put the Corsicana oil fields on a businesslike footing. He did the same at Spindletop with the Texas Company (later Texaco), which purchased oil and transported by barge and rail car to a new refinery in Port Arthur. In 1905, the company completed a pipeline directly from the oil field to the refinery.
Poll taxes were a fee people had to pay in order to vote, legally restricting the political participation of lower income voters. These fees were used along with violence and intimidation to limit African Americans’ right to vote in the segregated South. This occurred within a broader context of Jim Crow laws that severely restricted African American mobility and advancement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Texas required voters to pay the poll tax until 1966 when the U.S. Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional.

The Slocum Massacre occurred on July 29, 1910, in Slocum, Texas, when white residents of Anderson County believed rumors of an African American uprising and responded with violence. Mobs formed throughout the county to raid African American neighborhoods and attempt to kill any person that crossed their path. Six deaths were officially confirmed, but it is estimated as many as 100 African Americans lost their lives in this massacre. None of the attackers were ever prosecuted and no government investigation was conducted. In the aftermath, many African Americans left Anderson County and never returned.

Wilbur and Orville Wright, who in 1903 had designed and flown the first successful aircraft at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, also built the Army's first airplane. Pioneering pilot Lieutenant Benjamin Foulois brought the new plane to San Antonio and publicly demonstrated it in flight on March 2 at Fort Sam Houston. Although he crashed on the last of the four flights, Foulois's flight marked the beginning of the U.S. Air Force.
In 1911, drillers looking for water discovered the Electra field in Wichita County near the Red River. In 1912, oil was discovered in the ranching town of Burkburnett. Larger strikes in 1918 and 1925 caused a huge boom, drawing more than 20,000 people to the area before the boom died in the late 1920s. These and other vast new finds in Texas, Oklahoma, and California doubled the nation’s oil reserves.
Freedman’s Town in Houston, today commonly called the Fourth Ward, is one of the first and largest of the post-Civil War Black urban communities in Texas. While free Black people had lived in Houston for decades, newly liberated African Americans moved into the area in large numbers, helping to create Houston’s first Black neighborhood. The area quickly grew into a vibrant business, religious, and cultural center. In 1912, the neighborhood received its first public library, spearheaded by the efforts of African Americans who had been denied access to the books in Houston’s other public libraries.

At least 65 African Americans from East Texas served in the “Harlem Hellfighters,” founded in 1913. The famous 369th Infantry Regiment was the most celebrated African American regiment in WWI. The soldiers spent more time in battle than other American troops, yet they confronted racism while training for war and once they returned home. Many African American soldiers in this regiment received the Croix de Guerre from the French government.

Oil required the opening of new frontiers in law, chemistry, and engineering. Refineries that rivaled the largest in the world were built. Port facilities along the coast were dredged to accommodate tanker ships. In 1909, dredging began on the Houston Ship Channel. It was completed in 1914, providing the link to the sea for the interior of Texas. It remains one of the most heavily utilized waterways in the U.S.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) organized and financed landmark civil-rights lawsuits. Texas’s first chapter was established in El Paso in 1914 and was joined by four other chapters in 1918. The NAACP chipped away at legal restrictions on Black rights and continues to work towards the advancement of justice for African Americans today.

After the arrest of Jesse Washington, an African American teenager, for the killing of Lucy Fryer, a mob gathered around the Waco courthouse and captured Washington. After two hours of monstrously lynching Washington, the mob dragged his body to Robinson, Texas, Fryer’s hometown with a large African American population. The aftermath of Washington's murder incited a push to end lynching around the country. The NAACP led the charge in passing anti-lynching laws which led to the decline of lynching after the 1920s and into the early 1960s.

Following the relocation of the Third Battalion of the all-Black 24th United States Infantry to Houston's Camp Logan in 1917, racial tensions in the city escalated. There was a violent confrontation between Houston Police and two African American soldiers on August 23, 1917, and Cpl. Charles Baltimore was hit over the head and taken to police headquarters. Rumors reached Camp Logan that he had been shot and killed, which fueled the African American soldiers at the camp to march on Houston. In a single night, 11 civilians, 4 policemen, and 4 soldiers were killed. In total, 156 members of the battalion were tried for mutiny. Nineteen were executed, and 63 received life sentences in federal prison. No white civilians were brought to trial. It remains the largest murder trial in the history of the United States.

The 92nd and 93rd Infantry regiments were established with approximately 25,000 African American soldiers from across the United States. These Buffalo Soldiers served with French infantry units in the Battle of the Argonne and the second Battle of the Marne. Battle losses were high, but so were the Buffalo Soldiers' achievements. The French government bestowed the Croix de Guerre on 68 Buffalo Soldiers for their heroic service in battle.
On November 1, 1917, approximately 10,000 Texas and Louisiana oilfield workers walked off the job to protest long hours and low pay. The strike dragged on for months. Oil producers refused to accept federal authority to mediate the dispute. When the strike ended in June 1918, 25% of the workers had lost their jobs, though many companies did voluntarily raise wages and extend benefits for those who were kept on.

"Wets" and "Drys"— those opposed to and for prohibition, respectively— battled over the issue in the Texas legislature for decades. Prohibition gained momentum nationally, in part due to the efforts of Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. Texas approved the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1919. But by the mid-1920s, Prohibition had become unpopular as anti-prohibitionists took control of the Texas legislature. Prohibition was ended in 1933.
Some estimates place the number of Hispanic citizen deaths by Texas Rangers during the 1915-1918 wars with Mexico as high as 3,000. Representative Josė T. Canales of Brownsville insisted on a legislative investigation. As a result of the findings, the Texas Legislature reduced the number of Ranger companies as well as the number of men in each company. More stringent Ranger selection criteria and a citizen complaint process were also put in place.
By June 1918, there were 98 suffrage organizations in Texas alone! After years of struggle, a bill permitting women to vote passed in both the Texas House and Senate. Governor William P. Hobby signed it into law on March 26, 1918. On June 28, 1919, Texas became the first state to approve the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, winning women the right to vote in national elections.
Prohibition passed in 1918. The Texas oil boom exploded two years later. Rangers spent a lot of time smashing stills, intercepting bootleg liquor from Mexico, and handcuffing criminals to telephone poles when the jails were too full. It was during this time that Ranger Captain Manuel "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas cemented his legend as a one-man law enforcement agency along the Texas border. In the 1950s, he became an advisor for the TV show, Tales of the Texas Rangers.
Bessie Coleman became the world’s first licensed African American pilot on June 15, 1921. Born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892, Coleman’s lifelong dream was to learn to fly. After discovering that no American school would accept African Americans, she traveled abroad to attend aviation school in Le Crotoy, France. After ten months of training, she was issued her pilot’s license by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

The Snyder Act of 1924 admitted Native Americans born in the U.S. to full U.S. citizenship, extending to them the right to vote as protected by the Fifteenth Amendment. Though the Fifteenth Amendment, passed in 1870, granted all U.S. citizens the right to vote regardless of race, it wasn't until the Snyder Act that Native Americans could enjoy the rights of American Citizenship.

Miriam "Ma" Ferguson was the first woman governor of Texas, serving two terms (1924-1926, and 1932-1934). She ran on a platform condemning the Ku Klux Klan, proposing spending cuts, and opposing Prohibition. Her husband, James E. "Pa" Ferguson, had served as governor from 1915 until he was impeached and removed from office in 1917, preventing him from seeking high office again in his own right.
Hazel Bernice Harvey Peace was an educator, community activist, humanitarian, and philanthropist born in 1903 in Waco, Texas. Peace’s teaching career began at I.M. Terrell High School in 1924 and spanned nearly 50 years. In addition to working at universities across Texas, Peace was also the editor for the Texas Standard, an official publication of the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas. She was active in many civic groups in the Fort Worth area and dedicated her life to fighting for social justice. In 2010, Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary School in southwest Fort Worth was named in her honor.

In 1930, Mary Elizabeth Branch was appointed the president of Tillotson College in Austin, having risen as an educator at Virginia State College and Dean of Women at Vashon High School in St. Louis, then the largest school for Black women in the nation. Branch transformed Tillotson from a struggling junior college for women into a successful four-year college. During her administration, enrollment steadily grew, and in 1936, the college was admitted to membership in the American Association of Colleges. Her work rescued the school from near ruin and paved the way for a future merger with Samuel Huston College, forming Huston-Tillotson University in 1952.

Governor James V. Allred took office in January and fired every Special Ranger appointed by Ma Ferguson. Allred overhauled the Ranger force by placing them under the newly-created Department of Public Safety (DPS). Rangers retained law enforcement responsibilities but were now also required to keep careful records of criminal investigations. A scientific crime lab was built that rivaled the FBI's lab. A new era of Ranger history had begun.
George Francis Porter was an African American civil rights activist in Dallas. In 1938, Porter attempted to exercise his right to serve on a jury. When asked to leave a Dallas courtroom, he refused to be dismissed. He was physically forced out of the room and thrown headfirst down the stairs. This incident drew national NAACP attention, leading to an investigation by Thurgood Marshall. Marshall visited Governor Allred who pledged to have Texas Rangers protect potential Black jurors in Dallas County. Even still, it took the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Hernandez v. Texas to stop courts from only summoning white citizens for jury duty.

Lulu Belle Madison White was a teacher and civil rights activist born in 1907 in Elmo, Texas. Her work was devoted to the advancement of African American education and voting rights. In 1939, she became the president of the Houston chapter of the NAACP. Under her leadership, the Houston chapter became the largest in the South.

The Allied Powers of Britain, France, Australia, and New Zealand declared war on Germany following its invasion of Poland on September 1st. Tensions in Europe had been building for years, and there was a growing feeling among some European nations that German aggression needed to be confronted with force.

Jackie Cochran, famed American aviator, wrote to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to suggest the formation of an all-female auxiliary pilot corps to fly non-combat missions for the military. Cochran hoped the First Lady would support her proposal explaining that women pilots could fly "...ambulance planes, courier planes, commercial and transport planes, thereby releasing male pilots for combat duty."
Later in 1942 Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the use of women pilots in her “My Day” column, saying “They were a weapon waiting to be used.”

Just before 8 a.m. local time, hundreds of Japanese planes bombed the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in addition to other US bases in the Pacific. The strike was a well-planned and surprise retaliation against the US efforts to halt Japan's war with China. At Pearl Harbor alone eight battleships, 20 other ships, and almost 200 airplanes were destroyed. Over 2,400 American sailors and soldiers died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Born in Waco, Texas, Doris “Dorie” Miller became the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross for his actions in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because African Americans weren’t allowed in combat units, they weren’t trained for anything beyond service roles. Nevertheless, Miller manned anti-aircraft guns during the attack and tended to the wounded. After the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross is the second highest decoration for valor awarded by the Navy.

In September 1942, Nancy Love was appointed commander of the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS). She recruited highly skilled and experienced female pilots who were sent on noncombat missions ferrying planes between factories and Army Air Force (AAF) installations. Between September and December 1942, 28 women were sworn into the WAFS.

As more women entered flight training, it became clear that the facilities at the Houston Municipal Airport were no longer adequate. A second training facility was approved at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas. Half of the women pilots of Class 43-4 reported to Avenger Field to begin training on February 14th. The first class of WFTDs graduated here in April of 1943.

Fifinella, the mascot of the Women's Flying Training Detachment and later the WASP program, was designed by Walt Disney animators. It was inspired by Roald Dahl's fairy tale "The Gremlins." The mascot became known as "Fifi," and her mission was to watch over the women and keep them safe.

A direct result of the War, Beaumont's population boomed as people moved there to take jobs in the shipyards and war plants. The rapid increase of population forced integration due to the sheer lack of facilities in the town. In June 1943, overcrowding, Ku Klux Klan activity, and Juneteenth plans combined with an explosive incident—an African-American man was accused of assaulting an 18 year-old white woman. The suspect was shot and killed by police for allegedly resisting arrest. A second sexual assault was reported on June 15. The accuser was unable to identify her attacker, but still a riot erupted that evening. The mayor of Beaumont called in the Texas National Guard and the city remained under martial law for five days. Beaumont was one of many cities in the U.S.—including Detroit, New York, Mobile, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Saint Louis, and Indianapolis—where intense race riots occurred during World War II.
On June 28, 1943, the WAFS under Nancy Love and the WFTD under Jackie Cochran were combined and officially renamed as the Women Airforce Service Pilots, a name chosen by General Hap Arnold. Jacqueline Cochran was officially appointed Air Force Director of Women Pilots and joined the Commander General's offices at the Pentagon.

One pilot rejected by the WASP program was Mildred L. Hemmons. Born in Alabama in 1921, Hemmons became the first Black woman in that state to earn her pilot's license. Hemmons applied to join the WASPs but she received a letter saying the U.S. Government had no plans to include Black female pilots in the WASP program.

Jackie Robinson served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 9th Cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas. Robinson was court-martialed when he refused to move to the back of a segregated bus during training exercises. He was acquitted of the charges and left the Army with an honorable discharge in 1944. Three years later, Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers and became the first African American to play major league baseball.
Lonnie E. Smith, a Black dentist from Houston and a voter in Harris County, Texas, sued county election official S. S. Allwright for the right to vote in the Democratic primary election, which required all voters to be white. In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Texas law. The white primary restricted voting in primary elections to white Texans and was the most prevalent means of reducing African American political participation. Although many challenged the legality of this system, including Lawrence A. Nixon in 1924 and Richard R. Grovey in 1935, it remained in place until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1944.

WASP Class 44-1 became the first class to graduate wearing the official Santiago blue uniform that was designed by Bergdorf Goodman of New York and made by the Neiman Marcus company in Dallas. Jackie Cochran pinned the coveted silver Women Airforce Service Pilots wings above the left pocket of the graduates' jackets.

The Press and many male pilots spoke out against H.R. 2419, and after less than an hour of debate, the bill was defeated by a vote of 188 to 169. It was also recommended that the entire Women Airforce Service Pilots program be deactivated. Those WASP already in training were allowed to complete their service. All Women Airforce Service Pilots who were in service at the time of this decision had to pay their own way home.

Between 1942 and 1944, 38 women pilots lost their lives, 11 in accidents and 27 during missions. Hazel Yin Lee, a Chinese-American pilot, was the last WASP to lose her life in the service of her country while piloting on an active duty mission.

The Women Airforce Service Pilots were shut down for good in December 1944 after having flown more than 60 million miles in service to their country. After the program was disbanded, WASP records were classified and stored in government archives for 33 years.

Jacqueline Cochran was the first civilian woman to receive the Distinguished Service Medal. Her citation in part read: "For exceptionally meritorious service to the Government in a duty of great responsibility from June 1943 to December 1944 ... Under her leadership the WASP performed, with the utmost loyalty and efficiency, multiple flying services in direct and effective support of the Army Air forces."

Juanita Craft was a leader in the civil rights movement in Dallas. In 1944 she became the first African American woman in Dallas County to vote in the Democratic Party primary. After her appointment as Youth Council advisor of the Dallas NAACP in 1946, she worked to enroll the first African American student at North Texas State College, was responsible for the 1955 Dallas Youth Council protest at the Texas State Fair, and fiercely protested the segregation of African Americans at lunch counters, restaurants, theaters, and public transportation.

When African -American student Heman Marion Sweatt applied for admission to the University of Texas School of Law, he was rejected on the grounds that integrated education was prohibited. Sweatt, with the help of civil rights activists, sued the state. Eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Sweatt and ordered the end of segregated professional schools. This case was influential in the later monumental ruling of Brown v. Board of Education which desegregated public schools.

U.S. Census Bureau History: Ratification of the 19th Amendment
On August 18, 1920, American women celebrated Tennessee's ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. After many long and grueling years of lobbying, protests, marches, and civil disobedience, their right to vote in federal and state elections was finally guaranteed.
Following America's war to win its independence from Great Britain (1775–1783), all states—except New Jersey—adopted state constitutions that denied women the right to vote. By 1807, even New Jersey's women saw that right stripped from them. Throughout the 19th century, suffrage leaders like Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony urged state and federal governments to grant women voting rights. They organized local suffrage groups, planned marches (like the March 3, 1913, Suffrage Procession held in Washington, DC), protested in front of government buildings, and lobbied state leaders and federal officials.
In 1878, Stanton convinced California Senator Aaron A. Sargent to introduce a women's suffrage amendment to the U.S. Constitution that used language similar to that of the 15th Amendment which granted African American men the right to vote in 1870. Despite impassioned speeches before the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections, the proposal languished for 9 years before the full Senate eventually rejected it in 1887. Despite the Senate's dismissal of the amendment, many western states proceeded to grant women full or partial voting rights. For example, women had the right to vote in the Wyoming Territory and continued to vote there after it became a state in 1890. Colorado granted women partial voting rights in 1893, and Idaho legislated women's right to vote in 1896. By the start of World War I, Washington (1910); California (1911); Oregon, Arizona, and Kansas (1912); the Alaska Territory (1913); and Montana and Nevada (1914) passed legislation granting women the right to vote.
Following the end of the war, suffragists argued that their effort to aid the nation's war effort by replacing men in the labor force, nursing, driving ambulances, performing administrative work for the military, and many other vital activities earned them the right to fully participate in the nation's democracy. Although Senator Sargent died in 1878 (the same year the Senate rejected his proposed amendment), suffrage supporters in Congress reintroduced his 1878 amendment—since nicknamed the "Anthony Amendment" in honor of Susan B. Anthony—in 1914 and again in 1917. As momentum built, a growing crowd of women gathered in front of the White House to urge President Woodrow Wilson to support their right to vote.
Facing a challenging midterm election in 1918 and mounting pressure from the nation's wives, mothers, and sisters, President Wilson threw his support behind the suffrage movement hoping that doing so would earn Democrats additional support from voters in the states where women could vote. When the proposed amendment again failed to pass the Senate on September 20, 1918, the National Women's Party focused its attention on those senators who voted against the amendment. Congress repeatedly failed to pass the amendment. In response, Wilson called a special session of Congress on May 19, 1919. The amendment passed the U.S. House of Representatives on May 21, 1919. After dissenting senators abandoned their filibuster, Congress approved the woman's suffrage amendment on June 4, 1919.
Within days, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan ratified the amendment. Montana, Arkansas, and Nebraska followed by the end of July 1919. Several states voted against ratification, including Alabama and Georgia, while Louisiana and Maryland attempted to urge the remaining states to defeat its passage. Ratification required passage by 36 states, and by July 1920, 35 states had done so. The fate of the 19th Amendment rested with Tennessee. Supporters and opponents converged on Nashville, TN, to lobby the General Assembly. Assembly members found lobbyists greeting them at their homes, restaurants, and following church services desperately hoping to influence their decision.
Huge crowds gathered outside the state capital building when the Tennessee General Assembly convened on August 9, 1920. Following August 12 hearings, the assembly voted 24–5 in favor of ratification on August 13. Next, the Tennessee House of Representatives debated ratification. Dozens of legislators fled Nashville for Decatur, AL, believing it would prevent a vote in the Tennessee House of Representatives and defeat the amendments ratification. Their attempt to thwart a vote failed and 50 of 99 members of the Tennessee House of Representatives voted in favor of ratification on August 18, 1920.
Following ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, several states reconsidered their rejection of women's suffrage, including Delaware in 1923, Maryland in 1941, Virginia in 1952, Alabama in 1953, Florida and South Carolina in 1969, Georgia and Louisiana in 1970, and North Carolina in 1971. Mississippi was the last state to symbolically ratify the 19th amendment on March 22, 1984.
You can learn more about the 19th Amendment and the suffrage movement using census data and records. For example:
Twenty states or territories granted women the right to vote between 1869 (when women could vote in the Territory of Wyoming) and ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. In 1917, Jeannette Rankin became the first woman in Congress after Montana elected her to a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Rankin was the sole dissenting vote against declaring war on Japan (Public Law 77-328, 55 STAT 795) on December 8, 1941. Rebecca Latimer Felton was the first female U.S. Senator. She served for 1 day in November 1922. The governor of Georgia appointed her to the position hoping the stunt would earn him the women's vote. Hattie Caraway was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate in 1932. She served the state of Arkansas until 1945.
Thousands of women dedicated their lives to suffrage and equal rights for women. You can learn more about them from the public census records available from the National Archives and Records Administration. Some of these women include: Lucy Stone, a 19th century abolitionist and suffragette who was the first female recipient of a degree from a Massachusetts college; Lucretia Mott, organizer of the Seneca Fall Women's Rights Convention; Crystal Eastman, cofounder of the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920 and cowriter of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, whose Declaration of Sentiments presented at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention helped organize the American women's rights and suffrage movements; Lucy Burns, cofounded the National Woman's Party with Alice Paul in 1916; Ida B. Wells, an activist and journalist who wrote about disenfranchisement and segregation in the American South; Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Suffrage Association and founder of the Women's Peace Party and International Woman Suffrage Association; Martha Griffiths, U.S. Representative from Michigan, who successfully brought the Equal Rights Amendment to a vote in the House of Representatives in 1970 and 1971; and writer and activist Betty Friedan, who cofounded and served as first president of the National Organization for Women.
In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Frances Perkins to be the first woman to serve as a Cabinet Secretary. Perkins served as U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 until 1945. She was instrumental in implementing Roosevelt's New Deal, including the Civilian Conservation Corps, Public Works Administration, and National Industrial Recovery Act. Today, Americans are indebted to Perkins for her work to establish unemployment benefits, pensions, welfare, strict child labor and workplace safety standards, a minimum wage, and overtime pay.
The 1920 Presidential Election pitting Republican Warren G. Harding against Democrat James M. Cox was the first in which women were eligible to vote following ratification of the 19th Amendment. Compared to the 1916 Presidential Election (between Democrat Woodrow Wilson and Republican Charles W. Hughes), over 7.6 million more votes were cast for the major party candidates (Republican Warren G. Harding and Democrat James M. Cox) in the 1920 Presidential Election versus 1916, suggesting that the women's vote boosted election turnout numbers by nearly 43 percent.
According to historical reported voting rates data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, more women than men voted in the 1980 and 1984 to 2018 elections. Voting rates ranged from a high of 62.3 percent of women (versus 60.2 percent of men) in 1992, to a low of 39.6 percent of women voting in 2014 (versus 37.2 percent of men).
Of the 157.6 million American citizens registered to vote in the United States in 2016, more than 137.5 million voted in the 2016 Presidential Election. Women comprise 88.8 million of the nation's total registered voters and 73.7 million voted in 2016. During the 2018 Midterm Election, there were 153 million registered voters in the United States. In 2018, 65.3 million of the nation's 81.3 million registered female voters visited the polls.
In 1872, Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to mount a campaign for president representing the Equal Rights Party with Frederick Douglass as her vice-presidential running mate. The Equal Rights Party won few votes, but Suffragette Susan B. Anthony gained notoriety during this election after being arrested and fined for attempting to vote in Rochester, NY. More recently, Geraldine Ferraro (Democrat, 1984) and Sarah Palin (Republican, 2008) ran unsuccessful bids as vice-presidential nominees. In 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary R. Clinton became the first woman to earn a presidential nomination from one of the nation's major political parties, but lost the election to Republican Donald J. Trump.
Did You Know?
On October 15, 1872, St. Louis, MO, Registrar of Voters Reese Happersett stopped Missouri suffrage leader Virginia Minor from registering to vote.
Minor sued Happersett and later appealed a Missouri Supreme Court ruling against her suit before the U.S. Supreme Court.
On March 29, 1875, , the Court ruled that voting was not a privilege of citizenship. As a result, women's suffrage was not guaranteed until ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on August 18, 1920.
Census Activists
The U.S. Census Bureau was one of the earliest federal agencies to employ women. Hired as enumerators during the 1880 Census, women comprised more than 50 percent of the census workforce by 1909—11 years before passage of the 19th Amendment. By 1920, women supervised key census and survey operations.

Seneca Falls, New York is the location for the first Women's Rights Convention. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes "The Declaration of Sentiments" creating the agenda of women's activism for decades to come.
1849
The first state constitution in California extends property rights to women.
1850
Worcester, Massachusetts, is the site of the first National Women's Rights Convention. Frederick Douglass, Paulina Wright Davis, Abby Kelley Foster, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth are in attendance. A strong alliance is formed with the Abolitionist Movement.

At a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth, a former slave, delivers her now memorable speech, "Ain't I a woman?"
1852
The issue of women's property rights is presented to the Vermont Senate by Clara Howard Nichols. This is a major issue for the Suffragists.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is published and quickly becomes a bestseller.
1853
Women delegates, Antoinette Brown and Susan B. Anthony, are not allowed to speak at The World's Temperance Convention held in New York City.

During the Civil War, efforts for the suffrage movement come to a halt. Women put their energies toward the war effort.
1866
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the American Equal Rights Association, an organization dedicated to the goal of suffrage for all regardless of gender or race.
1868
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Parker Pillsbury publish the first edition of The Revolution. This periodical carries the motto “Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less!”
Caroline Seymour Severance establishes the New England Woman’s Club. The “Mother of Clubs” sparked the club movement which became popular by the late nineteenth century.
In Vineland, New Jersey, 172 women cast ballots in a separate box during the presidential election.
Senator S.C. Pomeroy of Kansas introduces the federal woman’s suffrage amendment in Congress.
Many early suffrage supporters, including Susan B. Anthony, remained single because in the mid-1800s, married women could not own property in their own rights and could not make legal contracts on their own behalf.
The Fourteenth Amendment is ratified. "Citizens" and "voters" are defined exclusively as male.
1869
The American Equal Rights Association is wrecked by disagreements over the Fourteenth Amendment and the question of whether to support the proposed Fifteenth Amendment which would enfranchise Black American males while avoiding the question of woman suffrage entirely.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony found the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), a more radical institution, to achieve the vote through a Constitutional amendment as well as push for other woman’s rights issues. NWSA was based in New York

1874
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) is founded by Annie Wittenmyer. With Frances Willard at its head (1876), the WCTU became an important proponent in the fight for woman suffrage. As a result, one of the strongest opponents to women's enfranchisement was the liquor lobby, which feared women might use their vote to prohibit the sale of liquor.
1876
Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn Gage disrupt the official Centennial program at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, presenting a “Declaration of Rights for Women” to the Vice President.
1878

1894
600,000 signatures are presented to the New York State Constitutional Convention in a failed effort to bring a woman suffrage amendment to the voters.

1896
Mary Church Terrell, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Frances E.W. Harper among others found the the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs.

US Women's Suffrage Timeline 1648 to 2016
This is an extended timeline of the fight for women's suffrage in the United States. It includes information on failed and successful attempts at changes in law, including at the state and federal levels, how women's suffrage has been interlaced with quests for other civil rights, and some key court cases. It spans the years from 1648, when Margaret Brent demands but is denied a vote in Maryland's colonial assembly through 2016, when Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument was designated.
1648
January 21: As an unmarried woman with property, and serving as the lawyer for Lord Baltimore, Margaret Brent demands but is denied a vote in Maryland’s colonial assembly.
1756
October 30: Lydia Taft, recent widow of Josiah Taft, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, is allowed to vote as Josiah’s proxy at a town meeting. The vote was regarding the town’s involvement in the French and Indian Wars. Lydia is the first white woman to vote in what was to become the United States. (Women in many Native American tribes were leaders and influenced decisions long before Europeans arrived.)
1776
July 2: The New Jersey constitution of 1776 is adopted. It allows all residents who own a specific amount of property to vote, without reference to gender or race. Thus, unmarried or widowed women (Black and white) and Black men could vote if they met the other requirements. Married women could not vote because legally they could not own property (all of their property reverted to their husbands upon marriage).
1787
May to September: The United States Constitutional Convention is held at what is now Independence Hall in Philadelphia. At the convention, it is decided that states have the right to determine qualifications required to vote.
1790
March 26: The Naturalization Act of 1790 passes. It allows white men born outside of the United States to become citizens. Because the ability to decide voting requirements is held by the states, becoming a citizen does not automatically confer voting rights.
The Acts of the Fifteenth General Assembly of New Jersey refer to voters as both “he” and “she.”
1807
The New Jersey legislature limits the vote to “free, white, male citizens” as a means of favoring the party in power.
1838
Kentucky passes a statewide woman suffrage law that grants the vote to female heads of household in elections deciding on taxes and schools.
1840
June 12-23: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and other women are excluded from the 1840 World Antislavery Congress in London. Permitted to attend as spectators, they are not allowed to take part. In response, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott resolve to “form a society to advocate the rights of women.”
1846
June 1 through October 9: A New York State Constitutional Convention is held. Six property-owning women from the state petition the Convention, demanding “equal, and civil and political rights” enjoyed by white men in the state. Their demands are denied.
1848
July 19-20: A Women’s Rights Convention is held in Seneca Falls, New York. Three hundred attend the convention organized in part by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Frederick Douglass is one of those present. One hundred of the attendees sign the Declaration of Sentiments, which includes a call for women’s access to the vote.
1849
A Michigan Senate committee proposes that the state adopt universal suffrage. The proposal dies in committee because woman suffrage is viewed as “unusual” and “needless.”
1850
October 23-24: The First National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Worcester, Massachusetts. Almost 1,000 men and women from eleven states (including California) attend.
1851
May 29: Sojourner Truth gives her “Ain’t I a Woman” speech at a Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio.
October 15-16: The Second National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Worcester, Massachusetts.
1852
September 8-10: The Third National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Syracuse, New York.
1853
October 6-8: The Fourth National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Cleveland, Ohio.
1854
October 18-20: The Fifth National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Philadelphia.
The Territorial Legislature of Washington considers a law granting women the right to vote. It is defeated by a single vote. Shortly after, the Territorial Legislature passes a law stating that “no female shall have the right of ballot or vote.”
1855
October 17-18: The Sixth National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Cincinnati, Ohio. The crowd is standing-room only.
1856
November 25-26: The Seventh National Women’s Rights Convention is held in New York City.
1857
March: The US Supreme Court rules in Dred Scott v. Sandford that the US Constitution is not meant to include Black people as citizens. The Dred Scott decision is later overturned by the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution (abolishing slavery) and the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution (conferring citizenship on all persons born or naturalized in the United States).
Iowa’s new state constitution includes “white” in the description of who can vote.
1858
May 13-14: The Eighth National Woman’s Rights Convention is held in New York City.
1859
May 12: The Ninth National Woman’s Rights Convention is held in New York City.
1860
May 10-11: The Tenth National Woman’s Rights Convention is held in New York City. Up to 800 people attended.
1861
January 29: Kansas Territory becomes the state of Kansas. The state’s constitution includes the rights of women to participate in school district elections.
April 12: The US Civil War starts. Suffrage activity across the country is minimal, as people focus on the war effort.
1862
Women in Oregon who are widows and have children and taxable property are granted the vote in school elections. Women of color are excluded due to restrictions on property ownership.
1865
May 9: The US Civil War ends
1866
May 10: The Eleventh National Women’s Rights Convention is held in New York City. Black and white attendees form the American Equal Rights Association to argue for universal suffrage: access to the ballot “irrespective of race, color, or sex.”
The election laws in Washington Territory states that “all white citizens” can vote, opening the ballot again to women. This interpretation is untested until 1869.
1867
June 1867 to February 1868: At the New York State Constitutional Convention, delegates vote 125 to 19 to give the vote to Black men, but not to women. The state’s voters reject this new constitution altogether in the 1869 elections, and neither group receives the vote.
October: Women in Vineland, New Jersey form the Vineland Equal Rights Association and petition the state for “Impartial Suffrage, Irrespective of Sex or Color.”
The Impartial Suffrage Association in Kansas is organized to fight for two amendments to the state constitution: one to remove “white” and one to remove “male” from the state’s voting requirements. Both efforts fail.
Michigan’s Legislature allows women who pay taxes the right to vote for school trustees.
March: Congressman George Washington Julian, representing Indiana, introduces what at the time would have been the Sixteenth Amendment to the US Constitution recognizing women’s suffrage. It is defeated.
July 9: The Fourteenth Amendment is adopted. It defines who is a citizen of the United States: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Women, therefore, are citizens (unless part of a group excluded from this amendment). After this, questions of what rights and responsibilities come with citizenship are debated.
November: The New England Woman Suffrage Association is founded, with Julia Ward Howe (composer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic) as president. Lucy Stone serves on the executive committee, and later becomes president of the organization.
December: Congressman George W. Julian of Indiana introduces language for a constitutional amendment for universal suffrage: “The right of suffrage in the United States shall be based on citizenship, and shall be regulated by Congress, and all citizens of the United States, whether native or naturalized, shall enjoy this right equally, without any distinction or discrimination whatever founded on race, color, or sex.” It does not pass.
Iowa citizens vote to remove “white” from the state constitution’s description of who could vote. This gives Black and Native American men the vote by law (though not necessarily in practice).
January 19: The Twelfth (and final) National Women’s Rights Convention is held in Washington, D.C.
May 12: The American Equal Rights Association undergoes a painful split at their annual meeting. Attendees include Frederick Douglass, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony. At the meeting, Frederick Douglass argues that Black men’s right to vote should take precedence over women’s right to vote, “With us, the matter is a question of life and death.” Anthony replies that, despite that, Douglass “would not exchange his sex.” Lucy Stone states that “woman suffrage is more imperative than his own.”
May 15: The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) is established by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and others.
November: The American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) is founded, led by Lucy Stone. The group is made up largely of members of the New England Woman Suffrage Association.
December 10: Women in Wyoming Territory are granted unrestricted suffrage.
Mary Olney Brown attempts to vote in Olympia, Washington Territory and is turned away because she is not considered a citizen.
The Nevada state legislature passes an amendment removing the words “male” and “white” from the state voting requirements. To become law, the amendment has to pass in two sessions of the legislature; the second legislature meets in 1871.
At a state women’s suffrage convention in St. Louis, Missouri, Virginia Minor argues that “the Constitution of the United States gives me every right and privilege to which every other citizen is entitled.” Later the same year, she and her husband circulate pamphlets arguing that the Fourteenth Amendment grants women the vote by right of citizenship. In the following years, hundreds of women across the country go to the polls using this logic. Most are denied; some are arrested.
February 12: The Utah Territory grants all women over the age of 21 years suffrage in any election.
March 30: The Fifteenth Amendment becomes law. It prohibits exclusion from voting “on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” In response, many former Confederate states pass Jim Crow laws that disenfranchise Black and poor white men from voting through poll taxes, literacy tests, and other restrictions.
April 2: Victoria Woodhull announces her candidacy for President of the United States in a letter to the editor of the New York Herald.
June 6: Mary Olney Brown again tries to vote in Olympia, Washington Territory, and is denied. Her sister, Charlotte Olney French and seven other women successfully vote in Grand Mound, Washington. Eight women in the Black River precinct of the state also successfully vote.
A woman suffrage amendment to the Vermont state constitution is soundly defeated at the constitutional convention.
Michigan’s legislature approves woman suffrage; the law is vetoed by the governor.
January 11: Victoria Woodhull testifies to the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives (the first woman to address a House committee). She argues that the Fourteenth Amendment grants women the right to vote. The committee disagrees.
October: Carrie Burnham tries to vote in Philadelphia. She argues that the Fourteenth Amendment and Pennsylvania law guaranteeing the vote to “freemen” allow her to vote. Election officials refuse to let her. Her case goes to the state Supreme Court. They issue their decision in 1873.
The Nevada legislature votes against the woman suffrage legislation it had approved in 1869. Woman suffrage fails in Nevada until 1914.
New Mexico denies woman suffrage.
Mary Ann Shadd Cary and a group of over sixty women try to register to vote in Washington, DC. They are unsuccessful.
May 10: Victoria Woodhull is nominated for President of the United States by the Equal Rights Party. Her platform supports woman suffrage and equal rights. Frederick Douglass is nominated as her Vice Presidential running mate. Not present at the meeting, he never acknowledges the nomination.
October 15: In St. Louis, Missouri, Virginia Minor is not allowed to register to vote. She and her husband sue. The case is eventually decided by the US Supreme Court, who issue their decision in 1875.
November 5: The Woodhull/Douglass Presidential ticket receives a very small percentage of the popular vote nationwide, and no electoral votes.
November 5: Four women in Portland, Oregon (including one African American woman) turn out to vote in the presidential election. The election judge accepts their ballots, but does not put them into the ballot box. Their votes are not counted.
November 5: Susan B. Anthony is one of several women in Rochester, New York to vote in the presidential election. Anthony is arrested and charged with voting illegally. Her case is heard by a federal court, who issue their decision in 1873. The other women who voted are arrested but not charged. The election inspectors who allowed the women to vote are arrested and found guilty. President Ulysses S. Grant pardons them after they are jailed for refusing to pay their fines.
The Dakota Territorial Legislature defeats woman suffrage by a single vote.
Iowa’s General Assembly rejects a woman suffrage resolution.
1873
April 4: The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rules against Carrie Burnham.
June: In United States v. Susan B. Anthony, the court concludes that citizenship does not automatically confer the right to vote. Susan B.

United States midterm elections
United States midterm elections, general elections that occur every four years in the middle of the U.S. presidential term. The election process mandated by Article I of the United States Constitution, by which all members of the United States House of Representatives and roughly a third of the members of the U.S. Senate are on the ballot, occurs every two years. (Currently, the House of Representatives has 435 members, and the Senate has 100.) Midterm elections get their name because they occur halfway through a president’s four-year term. In addition to elections for members of Congress, 36 states hold their gubernatorial elections during the midterm cycle. Many local races and citizen-generated initiatives also can appear on midterm ballots.
In general, fewer Americans vote in midterm elections than in presidential elections. Whereas about 60 percent of eligible voters typically cast ballots in presidential election years, that percentage falls to about 40 percent for midterms. (Voter turnout in the 2018 midterm elections was 50 percent, the highest since 1914. Turnout for the 2022 midterms was estimated at 47 percent.)
Power shifts
Historically, midterm elections have played pivotal roles in power shifts between political parties, with the party of the incumbent president often being handed a sound defeat. Pres. Barack Obama called the 2010 midterm elections in which the Democratic Party lost 64 seats in the House and six in the Senate “a shellacking.” That was, in fact, worse than the norm. An examination of the 22 midterm elections from 1934 through 2018 revealed that the party controlling the White House has lost, on average, 28 seats in the House of Representatives and four seats in the Senate. In the 2022 midterms, the Democratic Party faired better than average, losing six seats in the House and gaining one in the Senate, when Sen. Raphael Warnock, won re-election aftre defeating Hershel Walker in a runoff election in Georgia. On only two occasions since 1934 has the party of the president gained seats in both the House and the Senate.
Notable midterm elections
In the 1946 midterm elections, with Democratic Pres. Harry S. Truman completing the fourth term of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrats lost 56 seats in the House and 12 Senate seats. That gave the Republican Party control of both houses of Congress, and they promptly stymied many of Truman’s legislative initiatives. In the 1948 presidential election, Truman campaigned against the “do-nothing Congress” and won.

The 1994 midterm elections earned the moniker “the Republican Revolution” as the Republican Party gained 54 House and eight Senate seats to take control of both houses for the first time since 1953. The elections, which led to Rep. Newt Gingrich being chosen as speaker of the House, were seen as a backlash against the first two years of Bill Clinton’s presidency, which included failed efforts to change the health care system and a scandal-plagued search for an attorney general.
The trend of the party in control of the White House losing in the midterms was upended in 2002, in the aftermath of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Pres. George W. Bush, whose election in 2000 had been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, campaigned aggressively to help his Republican Party pick up seats in both the House and the Senate.
Redistricting’s role in midterm elections
The number of seats in the House of Representatives is set by law at not more than 435, but every 10 years, when the U.S. Census Bureau conducts its count of the population, the number of seats assigned, or apportioned, to states can change. For example, the 2020 census showed that the populations of Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, and Texas grew. Texas gained two representatives while the other states gained one. California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia each lost one seat because their populations shrank. The 2022 midterm elections are the first national elections to be held since the changes resulting from the census were implemented.
These changes in population often require the redrawing of congressional districts. In many states, legislatures draw the district maps, and that gives enormous power to the party in control to create maps that benefit their political party. Sometimes the result is very oddly shaped districts manufactured by a process known as gerrymandering. The term comes from Elbridge Gerry, who, as governor of Massachusetts, signed a bill that created a district in the shape of a salamander that favoured his party. Often, the result of gerrymandering violates the spirit of the role of the census in legislative redistricting, which is to ensure fair representation. In the modern political system, both the Democratic and Republican parties have engaged in gerrymandering.

The Legendary English-Only Vote of 1795
Dennis Baron
In April, 1987, an election judge from Missouri wrote to Ann Landers citing the following excerpt from the local Election Manual to support the argument that everyone's vote counts: âIn 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German.â The statement is not strictly true, as many of Landers' more alert readers quickly pointed out. The vote in question did not take place. However, language became a political and an emotional issue as early as the 1750s, when British settlers in Pennsylvania began to fear and resent the fact that a third of their fellow Pennsylvanians were German speakers.
Since that time, American nativists have sought to eradicate minority languages and discourage bilingualism wherever it could be found: in Maine and Louisiana, California and New Mexico, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, as well as in Pennsylvania. Complaints about Germans as well as other non-English-speakers became all too common in the last quarter of the 19th century, and again during and after World War I, when the fear of immigrants and their languages prompted protective English-only legislation. Many Americans considered nonanglophones to be less than human: in 1904 a railroad president told a congressional hearing on the mistreatment of immigrant workers, âThese workers don't sufferâthey don't even speak Englishâ (Shanahan, 1989.) Today as well there is opposition to nonanglophones and bilingualsâthis time not Germans but Hispanic and Asian Americans. The result is the proposed English Language Amendment (ELA), a Constitutional amendment making English the official language of the United States.
Despite the latest rehearsal in Ann Landers' advice column of the myth that German had once come close to replacing English in the United States, Americans have never had a legally-established official language. The so-called German vote did not take place in 1776, and it had nothing to do with privileging German over English. The legend that it did, which has gone around since at least the 1850s, was spread initially by propagandists celebrating German contributions to American culture. It has since been taken over by those who claim that the English language in the United States is an endangered species. The story of the German Vote is occasionally trotted out by ELA supporters to demonstrate the power of ethnic groups to subvert national unity and to warn Americans that although the German threat to English has been defused, the Spanish one has not.
The events whose misinterpretation gave rise to the legend of the German vote occurred in 1795, though the date is frequently changed to the more patriotically crucial year of 1776. As is characteristic of such stories, what actually occurred is not entirely clear. What is clear is that Congress never considered replacing English with any other language or giving any other tongue equal status with English. In the 18th century there were rumors that a few Brit-bashing superpatriots campaigned to have the new nation drop English in favor of Hebrew, French, or Greek, considered in the late 18th century to be the languages of God, rationality, and democracy, respectively. But the desire to found a New Eden rather than a New Babel assured that the United States would be united both legally and socially under a single language, and that language would be English. Noah Webster championed a dialect-free Federal English based on his spelling book (and his own New England dialect). John Adams rightly predicted that English would become the next world language. And Roger Sherman of Connecticut is reported to have urged Americans to retain English and make the British speak Greek. (See Baron, 1982.) Despite the solid position of English both initially and throughout American history, the legend of the German vote persists.
The German Vote
On January 13, 1795, Congress considered a proposal, not to give German any official status, but merely to print the federal laws in German as well as English. During the debate, a motion to adjourn failed by one vote. The final vote rejecting the translation of federal laws, which took place one month later, is not recorded.
The translation proposal itself originated as a petition to Congress on March 20, 1794, from a group of Germans living in Augusta, Virginia. A House committee responding to that petition recommended publishing sets of the federal statutes in English and distributing them to the states, together with the publication of three thousand sets of laws in German, âfor the accommodation of such German citizens of the United States, as do not understand the English languageâ (American State Papers ser. 10, v. 1:114). According to the succinct report in the Aurora Gazette, âA great variety of plans were proposed, but none that seemed to meet the general sense of the Houseâ (22 January, 1795, p. 3).
A vote to adjourn and sit again on the recommendation failed, 42 to 41, but there is no reason to believe from this close vote that more than token support existed for publishing the laws in German. The vote to adjourn seems to have been interpreted by the House as a vote of no confidence both in the committee's recommendation to translate the laws and in its recommendation on the distribution of the sets of laws once they were published in English. While there is no record of debate on the translation provision that day, if sentiment on the issue in Congress was anything like sentiment in Pennsylvania, translation was probably opposed by a substantial majority of the representatives.
On the other hand, the committee's plan for distributing the sets of laws did provoke some strong disagreement in the House. After objections to the latter were aired, a new committee was formed and asked to report again, and the House agreed to adjourn. It is from the close interim vote, not on an actual bill but on adjournment, that the socalled âGerman voteâ legend has been built.
One month later, on February 16, 1795, the House once again considered the question of promulgating the laws, and among the issues, once again, was translating the federal statutes into German. This time some of the actual debate has been preserved. Rep. Thomas Hartley of Pennsylvania argued that âit was perhaps desirable that the Germans should learn English; but if it is our object to give present information, we should do it in the language understood. The Germans who are advanced in years cannot learn our language in a day. It would be generous in the Government to inform those persons. Many honest men, in the late disturbances [the Whiskey Rebellion], were led away by misrepresentation; ignorance of the laws laid them open to deception.â
Rep. William V. Murray of Maryland, who opposed translating the laws into German, countered âthat it had never been the custom in England to translate the laws into Welsh or Gaelic, and yet the great bulk of the Welsh, and some hundred thousands of people in Scotland, did not understand a word of Englishâ (Annals of Congress 4:1228-29). The House finally approved publication of current statutes, as well as future ones, in English only. The bill was agreed to by the Senate and signed by President Washington the following month.
The January vote on adjournment is sometimes known as âthe Muhlenberg Vote,â after the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Pennsylvania's Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, a Federalist who spoke German with difficulty, so it is claimed, and who was at any rate a member of a prominent family of assimilated Germans who favored English as the language of education and religion (Dorpalen 1942, 178). Although the roll call vote does not survive, tradition has it that Muhlenberg stepped down to cast the deciding negative, thereby dooming German in America to minority-language status. Tradition notwithstanding, too much weight should not be given to the fact that the Speaker was not in the chair on this occasion. It was common for the Speaker to step down, and Muhlenburg did so on many other occasions during the Third Congress. Even a positive vote on the adjournment issue could not have led to approval of German translations of the laws, a concession which the Congress has repeatedly refused to make ever since.
Nonetheless, Muhlenberg was blamed for selling out German language interests by Franz Lher, whose 1847 History and Achievements of the Germans in America presents a garbled though frequently cited account of what is supposed to have happened. Lher places the crucial language vote not in the U.S. Congress, but in the Pennsylvania legislature, over which Muhlenberg had earlier presided. There is no evidence as to Muhlenberg's actual views on German publishing; no evidence that he cast a tie-breaking vote on the matter; and no contemporary indication that the German community was displeased with his stewardship over the Third Congress. However, Muhlenberg later did manage to irritate his German constituents by casting the deciding vote in favor of the Jay Treaty during the Fourth Congress, a move which drove his brother-in-law to stab him and which cost him the next election in 1796. This significant tie-breaker soon became confused with the earlier adjournment cliff-hanger, conveniently fleshing out the myth of the German vote (Feer 1952, 401).
Official English Then and Now
Opponents of moves to make English the official language of the United States frequently suspect that English-only advocates are motivated by more than political idealism. This suspicion is certainly justified by the historical record. For the past two centuries, proponents of official-English have sounded two separate themes, one rational and patriotic, the other emotional and racist. The Enlightenment belief that language and nation are inextricably intertwined, coupled with the chauvinist notion that English is a language particularly suited to democratically constituted societies, are convincing to many Americans who find discrimination on non-linguistic grounds thoroughly reprehensible (see Baron, 1990). More prominent though, throughout American history, have been the nativist attacks on minority languages and their speakers: Native Americans, Asians, the French, Germans, Jews and Hispanics, to name only the most frequently-targeted groups.
The English-only nativists who attacked the Germans used arguments similar to those heard nowadays against newer immigrants. Benjamin Franklin considered the Pennsylvania Germans to be a âswarthyâ racial group distinct from the English majority in the colony. In 1751 he complained, âWhy should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion?â (The papers of Benjamin Franklin. Ed. Leonard W. Labaree. New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 1959. vol 4:234).
The Germans were accused by other eighteenth-century Anglos of laziness, illiteracy, clannishness, a reluctance to assimilate, excessive fertility, and Catholicism. They were even blamed for the severe Pennsylvania winters (Feer 1952, 403; Mittelberger 1898, 104). Most irritating to Pennsylvania's English-firsters in the latter 1700s was German language loyalty, although it was clear that, despite community efforts to preserve their language, Germans were adopting English and abandoning German at a rate that should have impressed the rest of the English-speaking population.
Anti-German sentiment spread along with German immigration, and the nation as a whole resisted both the German bilingual schools that were established in parts of the Midwest in the 19th century and the common practice of publishing legal notices in German-American newspapers. On a number of occasions the U.S. Congress again rejected motions to print laws or other documents in German as well as English. The motions were often treated jocularly and were shouted down amidst racist cries of, âWhat! In the Cherokee? [and in] the Old Congo language!â (Congressional Globe 1844, 7).
Antagonism toward Germans and their language resurfaced in the Midwest in the late 1880s and early 1890s, and again across the country during and after World War I. Between 1917 and 1922 most of the states dropped German from their school curricula. Nebraska's open meeting law of 1919 forbade the use of foreign languages in public, and in 1918 Governor Harding of Iowa proclaimed that âEnglish should and must be the only medium of instruction in public, private, denominational and other similar schools. Conversation in public places, on trains, and over the telephone should be in the English language. Let those who cannot speak or understand the English language conduct their religious worship in their homeâ (New York Times, 18 June 1918, p. 12). Such attitudes had a chilling effect on language use. As many as eighteen thousand people were charged in the Midwest during and immediately following World War I with violating the English-only statutes (Crawford 1989, 23.)
The anti-German school laws were declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1923. In Meyer v. Nebraska, the court ruled that âthe protection of the Constitution extends to all,âto those who speak other languages as well as to those born with English on the tongueâ (262 U.S. 390). Similar anti-Japanese laws were invalidated by the court in Farrington v. Tokushige in 1927 (273 U.S. 284). And the high court reaffirmed the states' responsibility to educate non-English speakers effectively in Lau v. Nichols (1974) (414 U.S. Reports 563), though the court did not specify how this was to be accomplished.
Nonetheless, Americans remain troubled by foreign languages and their speakers. Despite the fact that the 1980 U.S. Census showed that more than 97 percent of the people in the nation speak English (Waggoner 1988, 69), nativist fears for the safety of English seem stronger than ever. The English Language Amendment (ELA) has been before the Congress since 1981. California passed an official-English law in 1986, a year in which a total of thirty-seven states considered official language measures. In 1989 Arizona, Colorado and Florida passed English-only laws, and votes on the issue are likely in Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania in the near future. Today's attempts to suppress the use of Asian languages and Spanish in the United States are manifest in state official-language referenda; in local ordinances mandating the use of the roman alphabet on signboards or forbidding the purchase of non-English books by public libraries; and in regulations which require employees to use English on the job and during breaks, or which force school children to use English in schoolbuses as well as classrooms.
Official-English is an emotional issue for many people, involving questions of patriotism as well as racism, language loyalty as well as assimilation. Supporters and opponents of the ELA almost came to blows during a discussion of the subject on the âDonahueâ show in Miami a few years ago. Adding to the complexity of the issue is the problem that language legislation, at least in the United States, is difficult if not impossible to enforce. In 1906, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt ordered the federal government to adopt simplified spelling in its official publications. This move generated so much resistance that Roosevelt softly withdrew his order (see Baron, 1982). The New Mexico constitution, establishing English as the new state's official language, was ratified by means of bilingual ballots. A 1923 Illinois law making American, rather than English, the official language of that state was quietly amended in 1969 because Illinois residents continued to speak and teach English in defiance or ignorance of the statute. The English Language Amendment, if it is passed, may also prove to be more of a symbol than an enforceable statute, though many people fear that it could become a dangerous tool for linguistic and cultural repression. In any case, though, the ELA seems one final, and to some observers, paranoid, attempt to make up for the perceived humiliation of 1795, when English reportedly came within a hair's-breadth of losing out as the official language of the United States in a vote which never really took place.

It's often overlooked that self-government in America was practiced by Native Americans long before the formation of the United States government. And yet, Native Americans faced centuries of struggle before acquiring full U.S. citizenship and legal protection of their voting rights.
Many government officials felt that Native Americans should be assimilated into America's mainstream culture before they became enfranchised. The Dawes Act of 1887 was passed to help spur assimilation. It provided for the dissolution of Native American tribes as legal entities and the distribution of tribal lands among individual members (capped at 160 acres per head of family, 80 acres per adult single person) with remaining lands declared "surplus" and offered to non-Indian homesteaders. Among other things, it established Indian schools where Native American children were instructed in not only reading and writing, but also the social and domestic customs of white America.
The Dawes Act had a disastrous effect on many tribes, destroying traditional culture and society as well as causing the loss of as much as two-thirds of tribal land. The failure of the Dawes Act led to change in U.S. policy toward Native Americans. The drive to assimilate gave way to a more hands-off policy of allowing Native Americans the choice of either enfranchisement or self-government.
The Snyder Act of 1924 admitted Native Americans born in the U.S. to full U.S. citizenship. Though the Fifteenth Amendment, passed in 1870, granted all U.S. citizens the right to vote regardless of race, it wasn't until the Snyder Act that Native Americans could enjoy the rights granted by this amendment.
Even with the passing of this citizenship bill, Native Americans were still prevented from participating in elections because the Constitution left it up to the states to decide who has the right to vote. After the passage of the 1924 citizenship bill, it still took over forty years for all fifty states to allow Native Americans to vote. For example, Maine was one of the last states to comply with the Indian Citizenship Act, even though it had granted tax paying Native Americans the right to vote in its original 1819 state constitution. As reported by Henry Mitchell, a resident of that state, Native Americans were prevented from voting in Maine in the late 1930s.
...[T]he Indians aren't allowed to have a voice in state affairs because they aren't voters. .... Just why the Indians shouldn't vote is something I can't understand. One of the Indians went over to Old Town once to see some official in the city hall about voting. I don't know just what position that official had over there, but he said to the Indian, 'We don't want you people over here. You have your own elections over on the island, and if you want to vote, go over there.
In 1948, the Arizona Supreme Court struck down a provision of its state constitution that kept Indians from voting. Other states eventually followed suit. Even with the lawful right to vote in every state, Native Americans suffered from the same mechanisms and strategies, such as poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation, that kept African Americans from exercising that right. In 1965, with passage of the Voting Rights Act and subsequent legislation in 1970, 1975, and 1982, many other voting protections were reaffirmed and strengthened.

The 1880 United States House of Representatives elections were held for the most part on November 2, 1880, with five states holding theirs early between June and October. They coincided with the 1880 presidential election which was won by James A. Garfield, who was a member of the House at the time. Elections were held for 293 seats of the United States House of Representatives, representing 38 states, to serve in the 47th United States Congress. This was the first time that every state held their regular House elections on or before Election Day. Special elections were also held throughout the year.
Issues such as Civil War loyalties, tariffs, graft and corruption dominated the year's elections, though none became substantive as a national issue. The economy was growing stronger after emerging from a long Depression. It was in this political environment that Garfield's Republican Party gained 19 seats and regained control of the House from the Democratic Party. The Greenback Party, an emerging party of workers and farmers, also lost seats in these elections, after gaining more than a dozen two years earlier.[3][4]

In 1845, Congress passed a law providing for a uniform nationwide date for choosing Presidential electors.[5] This law did not affect election dates for Congress, which remained within the jurisdiction of State governments, but over time, the States moved their Congressional elections to this date as well.
In 1880, no states held their elections after Election Day for the first time (California was the last state to hold late elections, in 1878). But 5 states, with 35 seats among them, held their elections before the rest of the states:
June 1 Texas
June 7 Oregon
September 7 Vermont
September 13 Maine
October 12 Ohio

Haddon & Co., Binders, Nos. 139 to 143 Centre Street, >3 THIS WORK IS DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, TO FRANCIS A. WALKER, Ph.D., LL.D PRESIDENT O F THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. LATE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CENSUS TO WHOM THE COUNTRY IS CHIEFLY INDEBTED FOR A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF ITS PRESENT CONDITION AND RESOURCES t* PREFACE. T he study of statistics, with the means ordinarily at command, is a dry and difficult one. It should not, there fore, be a matter of surprise that comparatively little information regarding the condition and resources of a country, is to be found among its people. Such information is, for the most part, hidden away in long and forbidding columns of ligures, and dispersed through many volumes more or less inaccessible. 1;o To group the various classes of facts, and determine their bearings one upon another, is, with raw statistics, a formidable task. Let these facts be expressed not alone in figures, but graphically, by means of maps and diagrams, appealing to a quick sense of form and color and “ clothing the dry bones of statistics in flesh and blood,” and their study becomes a delight rather than a task. ' The density of settlement, the illiteracy of the people, the wealth or poverty of different sections, and many other features of great importance, hitherto but vaguely comprehended, are made to appear at a glance, and are so vividly impressed as not to be easily forgotten. By such aids not only the statistician and political economist, but the masses of the people, who make public sentiment and shape public policy, may acquire that knowledge of the country and its resources which is essential to intelligent and successful government. It is the aim of this work to bring together and to present by graphic methods, all the leading statistical facts regarding the physical, social, industrial, commercial and political conditions of the United States. It portrays the physical features of the country, which more or less determine its development; the political history of the nation, the succession of parties and the ideas for which they existed; and the progress of settlement, from the eastern seaboard, across the Appalachians, throughout the valley of the Mississippi, and beyond the barriers of the Cordilleras. It treats of the population, its varieties of race and nativity, its educational and religious condition, its occupations, and its mortality. Passing to the industries, it exhibits the great leading branches, agriculture, manufactures, mining, trade and transportation. Under the head of Finance and Commerce, it pictures the wealth of the country, its public debt and taxation, its foreign commerce and carrying trade, its expenditures and its sources of revenue—thus presenting to the comprehension of all, the balance sheet of the General Government. The work closes fittingly with a series of diagrams which summarize and bring together for comparison, the leading facts previously developed. In the belief that the simpler methods of illustration are, as a rule, the most effective, care has been taken to avoid over-elaboration. By the use of different shades of color, the maps are made to present a bird’s-eye view of the various classes of facts, as related either to area or to population. comparisons are shown by extent in one dimension only. The diagrams are all of the simple linear character, in which Of the many kinds of diagrams hitherto used in the illustration of statistical facts, this form is at once the simplest and the most effective. The maps of the United States employed, are of three sizes: A folio map, in which the county is the unit of comparison; a state map, covering half a page, the data for which were first plotted by counties on the larger map and transferred, with such modifications as the reduction required ; and a miniature map, for representing the PREFACE. averages of states only. On the folio maps each county is numbered, and its name may readily be determined by the aid of the Index to Counties. The names of territories are italicized throughout the plates, to distinguish them from the names of states. While this Atlas is the joint production of Mr. Fletcher W. Hewes and Mr. Henry Gannett, to the former is due the inception of the enterprise, its general plan, the preparation of the material, and the execution of nearly all the plates. To his arduous labors and painstaking accuracy, the Atlas itself bears abundant testimony. Later Mr. Gannett was associated with the work, and to him have fallen the important tasks of writing the text, of revising and editing the plates, and of adding those relating to physical geography—duties for which he was amply qualified, by long experience as a statistician and by close familiarity with the work of the Census Bureau and of the Geological Survey. The material here presented has been drawn from many sources. First in importance should be mentioned the reports of the Tenth Census and of earlier ones, which have furnished the data for much the greater part of the work. The reports of the Bureau of Statistics and of Education, and the finance reports of the Treasury Department, have been laid under heavy contribution; and much valuable matter has been taken, by permission of the authors, from Spofford’s American Almanac, Poor s Manual o f Railroads., and Meechs Systems and Tables o f Life Insurance. Special acknowledg ment is due also to state geologists and mining engineers, for assistance in the preparation of the maps showing the distribution of mineral deposits; to Secretaries of State and other state officials, for data concerning election returns and the population of cities; to W. H. De Puy, D.D., for the compilation of statistics of church membership, and tc Alexander Johnston, A.M., Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Economy, College of New Jersey, for a careful revision of the political charts.

1863
January 1: President Abraham Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that the majority of the nation's slave population "henceforth shall be free."
July: In New York City, opposition to the nation's first military draft triggers a riot, the largest in American history, as poor white Northerners protest being forced to fight to end slavery. Over four days, the insurrection develops into wholesale violence, with an uncounted number of victims.
December 8: President Lincoln announces the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. It offers pardon and restoration of property -- except slaves -- to Confederates who swear allegiance to the Union and agree to accept emancipation. Known as the 10 Percent Plan, it requires only 10% of a former Confederate state's voters to pledge the oath before the state can begin the process of readmission into the Union.
1864
Early 1864: President Lincoln begins Reconstruction in the Union-occupied former Confederate state of Louisiana. Lincoln's lenient 10 percent policy upsets Radical Republicans, who expect the South to do more to gain readmission, and believe Lincoln's approach does not provide enough protection to ex-slaves.
July: In response to Lincoln's plan, Congress passes its own, the Wade-Davis Bill. It ups the allegiance requirement from 10% to a majority of a state's voters, limits many former Confederates from political participation in state reconstruction, demands blacks receive not only their freedom but equality before the law, and imposes a series of other requirements on the states. Lincoln does not sign the Wade-Davis Bill; his pocket veto means the bill does not pass into law.
November 8: Lincoln is reelected.
1865
By 1865, some 180,000 blacks have served in the Union Army, over one-fifth of the adult male black population under 45.
January 16: Marching the Union Army through the South with an ever-growing number of freed slaves in its wake, General William Tecumseh Sherman issues Special Field Order 15, setting aside part of coastal South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida by settlement exclusively by black people. The settlers are to receive "possessory title" to forty-acre plots.
January 31: The Thirteenth Amendment, abolishing slavery throughout the Union, wins Congressional approval and is sent to the states for ratification. By the end of February, 18 states will ratify the amendment; after significant delay in the South, ratification will be completed by December.
February 18: General Sherman's troops enter Charleston, South Carolina.
March: The temporary Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands is established within the War Department. The Freedman's Bureau works to smooth the transition from slavery, providing former slaves with immediate shelter and medical services, help in negotiating labor contracts with landowners, and more. The bureau is initially authorized for just one year, but will remain in operation until 1868.
April: In Lincoln's last speech, he mentions black suffrage for soldiers and some others. The Civil War ends when Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrenders to Union general Ulysses S. Grant. Six days later, President Lincoln is assassinated, and his vice president, Southern Democrat Andrew Johnson, becomes president.
May: President Johnson announces his plan of Presidential Reconstruction. It calls for general amnesty and restoration of property -- except for slaves -- to all Southerners who will swear loyalty to the Union. No friend to the South's large landowners, Johnson declares that they and the Confederate leadership will be required to petition him individually for pardons. This Reconstruction strategy also requires states to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, ending slavery. The president's plan is implemented during the summer.
August/September: President Johnson shows growing leniency toward the white South: he orders the restoration of land to its former owners, including the land provided to freed slaves by General Sherman's January field order. Freedmen are especially reluctant to leave the land they have started farming in South Carolina and Georgia. The president starts aligning himself with the Southern elite, declaring, "white men alone must manage the South."
Fall: Southern states elect former Confederates to public office at the state and national levels, drag their feet in ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment, and refuse to extend the vote to black men. Southern legislatures begin drafting "Black Codes" to re-establish white supremacy. The laws impose restrictions on black citizens, especially in attempts to conrol labor: freedmen are prohibited from work except as field hands, blacks refusing to sign labor contracts can be punished, unemployed black men can be seized and auctioned to planters as laborers, black children can be taken from their families and made to work. The new laws amount to slavery without the chain.
November-December: At the request of President Johnson, victorious Union general Ulysses S. Grant tours the South, and is greeted with surprising friendliness. His report recommends a lenient Reconstruction policy.
December: President Johnson declares the reconstruction process complete. Outraged, Radical Republicans in Congress refuse to recognize new governments in Southern states. More than sixty former Confederates arrive to take their seats in Congress, including four generals, four colonels and six Confederate cabinet officers -- even Alexander H. Stephens, the former vice president of the Confederacy. The Clerk of the House refuses to include the Southern representatives in his roll call, and they are denied their elected seats.
The Union Army is quickly demobilized. From a troop strength of one million on May 1, only 152,000 Union soldiers remain in the South by the end of 1865.
Southern towns and cities start to experience a large influx of freedmen. Over the next five years, the black populations of the South's ten largest cities will double.
1866
February: President Johnson vetoes a supplemental Freedmen's Bureau Bill, which Republican moderates have designed to extend protection to Southern blacks.
April: Another piece of moderate Republican legislation, the Civil Rights Bill, grants citizenship and the same rights enjoyed by white citizens to all male persons in the United States "without distinction of race or color, or previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude." It passes both houses of Congress by overwhelming majorities, and when President Johnson vetoes it, Congress overrides the veto, making the bill the first major piece of legislation enacted over a presidential veto. The rift between Congress and the president is complete.
May 1: Racial violence rages in Memphis, Tennessee for three days as whites assault blacks on the streets. In the aftermath, 48 people, nearly all black, are dead, and hundreds of black homes, churches, and schools have been pillaged or burned.
June 13: Congress sends the Fourteenth Amendment to the states. It writes the Republican vision of how post-Civil War American society should be structured into the U.S. Constitution, out of the reach of partisan politics. The amendment defines citizenship to include all people born or naturalized in the U.S. and increases the federal government's power over the states to protect all Americans' rights. It stops short of guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. The controversial amendment will take over two years to be ratified.
July: Congress re-passes its supplemental Freedmen's Bureau Bill. President Johnson vetoes it again, and Congress again overrides the veto, making the bill a law.
July 24: Tennessee is the first former Confederate state readmitted to the Union.
July 30: Riots break out in New Orleans, Louisiana: a white mob attacks blacks and Radical Republicans attending a black suffrage convention, killing 40 people.
August 28: "The swing around the circle." With Congress demanding that Southern states ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in order to gain re-admittance to the legislature, President Johnson begins a disastrous speaking tour of the North to bolster support for his policies in the mid-term elections. He asks popular Union general Ulysses S. Grant to come along. When crowds heckle the president, Johnson's angry and undignified responses cause Grant -- and many Northerners -- to lose sympathy with the president and his lenient Reconstruction policies.
Fall: Following the president's ruinous campaign, the mid-term elections become a battleground over the Fourteenth Amendment and civil rights. Johnson's opponents are victorious, and the Republicans occupy enough seats to guarantee they will be able to override any presidential vetoes in the coming legislative session.
Union troops are further demobilized; only 38,000 remain in the South by the fall.
1867
March 1: The North Carolina legislature holds a whiskey party when it adjourns before the state's first election with black candidates. "We have lost all hope of escaping the vengeance of the Northern people," one state senator writes, "and are preparing for the worst."
March 2: The new session of Congress begins to pass additional reconstruction laws, overriding President Johnson's vetoes and beginning a more hard-line attitude toward the South. Known as Radical Reconstruction, the new policies divide the South into military districts and require the states to adopt new constitutions, introduce black suffrage, and ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.
July 31: President Andrew Johnson tells Ulysses S. Grant that he intends to fire Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who has been a consistent opponent of the president and is close to the Radical Republicans who dominate Congress. Stanton has refused to resign and Congress has supported him through the Tenure of Office Act, which requires the consent of Congress to removals. At the same time, Congress has weakened the president's control of the army through the Command of the Army Act, which requires that all military orders of the President have the approval of the general of the army (Grant). Johnson believes the Tenure of Office Act is unconstitutional, and hopes to defeat the effort to force Stanton upon him by employing the popular Grant.
August 11: Johnson orders Grant to take over the War Department temporarily.
1868
January 14: Grant resigns his position as interim Secretary of War after Congress insists upon Stanton's reinstatement. President Johnson believes that Grant has betrayed him; Grant now openly breaks with Johnson.
Winter: Black and white lawmakers begin to work side by side in the Southern states' constitutional conventions, the first political meetings in American history to include substantial numbers of black men.
May 16: Having infuriated the Republicans, Andrew Johnson becomes the first president to be impeached by a house of Congress, but he avoids conviction and retains his office by a single vote. He will not get the Democratic nomination in the upcoming presidential election.
May 21: The Republican National Convention at Chicago nominates Grant for president and Schuyler Colfax of Indiana for vice president; Grant adopts the conciliatory slogan, "Let us have peace."
June 22: Arkansas is readmitted to the Union.
June 25: Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are readmitted to the Union.
July 14: Alabama is readmitted to the Union.
July 9: The Democrats nominate Horatio Seymour, former Governor of New York, for president, and Francis P. Blair, Jr., formerly one of Grant's commanders, for vice president.
July 28: The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, defining citizenship to include all people born or naturalized in the U.S., is finally ratified.
September: Black elected officials are ousted from the Georgia state legislature; "The Negro is unfit to rule the State," the Atlanta Constitution declares. The black legislators appeal to President Grant to intervene to get them readmitted, which takes a year.
November 3: Grant is elected president, winning an electoral college majority of 214-80 over his Democratic opponent. But the popular majority is only 306,000 in a total vote of 5,715,000. Newly enfranchised black men in the South cast 700,000 votes for the Republican ticket.
1869
The Freedmen's Bureau tallies nearly 3,000 schools, serving over 150,000 students, in the South.
February 26: Congress passes the Fifteenth Amendment, which attempts to address Southern poll violence by stating that the right to vote can not be denied on the basis of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." It is sent to the states for ratification.
April: In its 5-3 Texas v. White decision, the U.S. Supreme Court declares Radical Reconstruction constitutional, stating that secession from the Union is illegal.
September 24: Black Friday on the New York gold exchange. Financiers Jay Gould and Jim Fisk attempt to corner the available gold supply, and try unsuccessfully to involve President Grant in the illegal plan.
Fall: Violence against blacks continues throughout the South; in October, Georgia legislator Abram Colby is kidnapped and whipped.
1870
January 10: Grant proposes a treaty of annexation with Santo Domingo in an attempt to find land for freed slaves to settle. Under Grant's plan, freed slaves will be able to relocate to the Caribbean island (the Dominican Republic today). The treaty is opposed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, headed by Charles Sumner, and will never be confirmed.
January 26: Virginia is readmitted to the Union.
February 3: The 15th Amendment is ratified.
February 23: Mississippi is readmitted to the Union.
March 30: Texas is readmitted to the Union.
July 15: Georgia is the last former Confederate state to be readmitted to the Union.
1871
October: Congress hears testimony from victims of Klan violence. Grant cracks down on anti-black violence in South Carolina.
1872
May 1: Meeting of the Liberal Republican Convention at Cincinnati. Leaders of the group include many prominent Republicans unhappy about vindictive Reconstruction policies and corruption in government, which they call Grantism. New York newspaperman Horace Greeley receives their nomination. Greeley's earlier radicalism, high tariff views, and well-known eccentricity repel many who oppose Grant. The Democrats, on July 9, also nominate Greeley.
May 22: Grant signs an amnesty bill he had advocated. Although the final legislation is less generous than Grant had wanted, now only a few hundred former Confederates are excluded from political privileges.
June 5: The Republican Convention meets at Philadelphia. It will renominate Grant on the first ballot.
September 5: The New York Sun charges that Vice President Colfax, Vice-Presidential nominee Henry Wilson, James Garfield, and other prominent politicians are involved in the operations of the Credit Mobilier, a corporation established by the promoters of the Union Pacific railroad to siphon off the profits of transcontinental railroad construction. Ultimately, two congressmen will be censured for their part in the swindle and many other politicians will be damaged in reputation.
November 5: Grant is reelected with an electoral college majority of 286-66, and a popular majority of 763,000.
1873
Winter: Articles begin to appear in the New York Tribune, accusing black lawmakers in South Carolina of corruption.
April 13: The Colfax Massacre. The White League, a paramilitary group intent on securing white rule in Louisiana, clashes with Louisiana's almost all-black state militia. The resulting death toll is staggering: only three members of the White League die, but some one hundred black men are killed. Of those, nearly half are murdered in cold blood after they surrender.
September 18: The panic of 1873 begins with the failure of a Wall Street banking firm, spreads to the stock exchange, and eventually leads to widespread unemployment.
1874
Fall: The political tide has finally turned in the Democrats' favor; they win control of Congress as stories of black political corruption, continued Southern violence, and a terrible economic depression occupy public attention.
1875
March 1: As one of its last acts, the Republican-led Congress passes the Civil Rights Bill of 1875, prohibiting segregation in public facilities. The law will stand only until 1883, when the U.S. Supreme Court will strike it down.
1877
March 4: Following a bitterly disputed presidential contest between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden, in which both candidates claim victory, Hayes is declared president. In a back-room political deal, the Republicans agree to abandon Reconstruction policies in exchange for the presidency.
Reconstruction policies officially end. The South codifies and enforces segregation. Violations of black civil rights will not command national attention again until after World War II.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
-19TH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
The fight for women’s suffrage began quietly in the 1840s and expanded after the Civil War, with the formation of several national organizations.
In the early 20th century, a new generation of activists focused on lobbying Congress and President Woodrow Wilson for a national suffrage amendment. Attention-grabbing protests, parades, and civil disobedience thrust the suffrage debate into the mainstream.
In 1919, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed a suffrage amendment. After ratification by 36 of the nation’s 48 states, the 19th Amendment became law on August 26, 1920, when the Tennessee legislature ratified the measure by just one vote.
Why did some women oppose suffrage?
Not all women supported women's suffrage. According to the ca. 1910 pamphlet below from the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage there were a number of anti-suffrage arguments. Their reasons included: women did not want to vote, women would vote the same as their husbands, and in some states where women outnumbered men the government would be under "petticoat rule".

Most political leading indicators point to a red wave in November, with Republicans poised to regain the House majority for the first time in four years. President Joe Biden’s sagging approval ratings, due in part to stubbornly high gas prices and the worst inflation in 40 years, make House Democrats’ sinking political fortunes seem worse by the day.
House Republicans also have new chances to go on the offense in November due to redrawn district lines. The 2022 election cycle is the first since the 2020 census, with 44 of 50 states redrawing political boundaries (six small-population states have a single House member.)
SIX 2022 RACES WHERE THE SUPREME COURT’S ABORTION RULING COULD TIP THE OUTCOME
The once-in-a-decade redistricting process will likely help House Republicans net a couple of seats in the 435-member chamber since state GOP lawmakers controlled the bulk of the map redrawing processes. That by itself will help the GOP effort to overturn the slim House majority Democrats have held in the 117th Congress.
In composing redistricting maps, though, state Republicans largely were careful to protect incumbent GOP lawmakers at the federal level. So, the broader effect of redistricting will be to limit the amount of truly competitive seats. Seats that could go one way or another are below 10% of the chamber.
To be sure, the House campaign landscape includes a series of unknowns. National political fallout remains to be seen from the Supreme Court’s June 24 decision overturning the half-century-old ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortions nationwide, giving states the power to determine limits on when a woman can terminate a pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the influence of former President Donald Trump remains an open question in the months ahead. Trump is eyeing a bid for the 2024 Republican nomination, having lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. Top Republicans are keeping a wary eye on Trump, worried the former president might announce a 2024 bid before Election Day this year, distracting voters from Biden’s embattled leadership and galvanizing Democratic turnout.
Moreover, recent wave election years when the House changed party control — Republicans in 1994 and 2010 and Democrats in 2006 and 2018 — show that many of the top races don’t appear competitive until a few weeks before Election Day. Surprises can and will happen. And conversely, races that seem tight at this stage of the campaign can end up being blowouts one way or another.
But a bit over four months from Election Day 2022, it’s clear Republicans have the momentum to claim the majority and make current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) the next House speaker. Here are 30 House races most likely to decide which party holds the speaker’s gavel in January 2023.
Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District
Rep. Tom O’Halleran arguably has the toughest reelection slog of any of the incumbent Democratic lawmakers. O’Halleran will face the winner of a crowded Aug. 2 Republican primary field in this new, sprawling northeast Arizona district, which includes many deeply conservative towns and cities. First elected to the House in 2018, O’Halleran is a relatively centrist Democrat who has focused on issues such as training and education on tribal lands, investing in education, supporting community colleges, and workforce development.
In what looks increasingly like a Republican wave year, the GOP nomination is a prize very much worth having. Republican primary candidates include state Rep. Walt Blackman, businessman, retired Navy SEAL Eli Crane, and Williams Mayor John Moore.
But O’Halleran has at least one thing going for him as he seeks reelection. His personal profile reflects that of many in Arizona, where so many people moved between 2010 and 2020 that the state gained a new House seat. The Illinois native, 76, was a member of the Chicago Police Department from 1966 to ’76, starting as an officer and rising through the ranks to sergeant, and later homicide investigator. Like many Arizona snowbirds, O’Halleran, after a business career, moved south with his wife to warmer environs.
After the couple settled in the Tucson area, O’Halleran went into politics. He was elected a member of Arizona’s House of Representatives in 2000 and its state Senate from 2006 — as a Republican. But O’Halleran left the GOP in 2014, saying he disagreed with how the party handled education, water, and child welfare issues. That reflects broader political trends in Arizona, long a Republican redoubt that is now decidedly purple. President Joe Biden in 2020 and President Bill Clinton in 1996 were the only Democratic nominees to win the state from 1952 on. And both of Arizona’s senators now are Democrats, for the first time since the early 1950s.
California’s 22nd Congressional District
Rep. David Valadao is one of the most endangered Republican House members, representing a newly drawn Central Valley seat where party registration strongly favors Democrats. Not surprisingly, Valadao has tried to distance himself from Trump, joining nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach the former president over the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. So far in 2022, this has not proven a winning formula. While four pro-impeachment Republicans are retiring from the House after this term, one so far has lost renomination, Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina.
Unlike most of his pro-impeachment House GOP colleagues facing pro-Trump primary opponents, Valadao’s reelection test will in November come from a Democratic rival, Assemblyman Rudy Salas. But Valadao has a fighting chance of holding on, particularly in a Republican-leaning election year. Despite a strong Democratic political base in the 22nd Congressional District, Valadao has proven popular. He won a similar-shaped House seat in 2012 and held it through the 2018 Republican wave. Valadao rebounded from his 2018 loss to Democratic Rep. TJ Cox by turning the tables in 2020 and defeating Cox in a rematch.
California’s 27th Congressional District
Democrat Christy Smith is betting third time’s the charm in her efforts to win a House seat based in northern Los Angeles County. In a March 2020 special election and in November of that year, then-Assemblywoman Smith came up short against Republican Rep. Mike Garcia, who had not previously held public office.
Garcia, a son of Mexican immigrants, is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and decorated Iraq War veteran. He later worked in the defense industry, all of which made for a good fit in the district to which he was elected, where a considerable number of retired military and law enforcement officers reside.
But that version of the district expires in January 2023, since California’s independent redistricting commission redrew the seat significantly. Taking in Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley, the 27th Congressional District no longer includes the traditionally conservative bastion of Simi Valley, which was grafted on to a neighboring House seat.
California’s 45th Congressional District
Republican Rep. Michelle Steel ‘s first reelection effort will be a test of how much Orange County, California, has changed politically. The county directly south of Los Angeles was famously a Republican stronghold for decades. But in 2016, Hillary Clinton was the first Democratic presidential nominee to win a majority in Orange County since 1936, and four years later, Biden ran up the score further there against Trump. In 2018, House Democratic candidates swept Orange County, suggesting a political realignment was in order.
Republicans clawed back two of the seats in 2020, including the coastal district now held by Steel, then a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. That year, she beat a first-term House Democrat, and now, she’s seeking reelection for a newly configured seat, thanks to California’s independent redistricting commission. Steel faces Jay Chen, a community college trustee, businessman, and Navy Reserve officer. The new, racially and ethnically diverse district starts in Fountain Valley, near the Pacific Coast, curves north to pick up Cerritos in Los Angeles County, and rounds out in Placentia, on Orange County’s norther edge.
Colorado’s 8th Congressional District
Colorado picked up a new House seat due to strong population growth in the decade before the 2020 census. The state’s independent redistricting commission added a new seat in communities northeast of Denver, a swath of booming suburbs on the northern Front Range. The 8th Congressional District will make for the most evenly divided seat, giving Republicans and Democrats a shot a nabbing it.
Yadira Caraveo is the Democratic nominee. Caraveo is a practicing pediatrician and daughter of Mexican immigrants. Her campaign has focused on healthcare policy and voting rights. The Republican nominee is state Rep. Barbara Kirkmeyer, who was previously a Weld County commissioner.
Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District
Efforts to defeat Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop have been a perennial disappointment for Republicans. Bishop first won his west Georgia House seat in 1992 and has beaten back consistent efforts by Republicans to defeat him in a state that has become deep red in its rural areas. Bishop has maintained a carefully calibrated voting record that can at times appeal to rural voters and the district’s significant black population.
The newly drawn district is a mix of rural areas and the city of Columbus along the Alabama and Florida state lines. The Republican nominee is Chris West, an attorney and officer in Georgia’s Air National Guard. The 2nd Congressional District is Georgia’s only competitive House seat in November.
Illinois’s 17th Congressional District
Rep. Cheri Bustos headed House Democrats’ campaign arm in 2020 when the party unexpectedly lost 12 seats and saw its majority sliced considerably. Bustos had an unexpectedly close call herself, beating her Republican opponent, attorney and Army Reserve officer Esther Joy King, with only 52%-48%. Bustos is retiring from the House and the end of this term, and her district is even more competitive, even though lines were drawn by state Democrats.
The central Illinois district includes most of Peoria and Bloomington-Normal. King is back on the ballot, as the Republican nominee. The Democratic nominee is former television meteorologist Eric Sorensen.
Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District
Iowa has turned sharply right since Trump’s election in 2016. Trump won the state against Clinton that year and Biden four years later, and Republicans are on the ascent politically. That puts Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne at a real disadvantage as she seeks reelection in the 3rd District.
The Republican nominee is state Sen. Zach Nunn, an Air Force veteran who served in the Middle East. Axne and Nunn will face off in November in a Des Moines-based seat that would have voted for Trump over Biden 49.2% to 48.8%. The seat is a top Republican target in the fall.
Kansas’s 3rd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids was always somewhat of an endangered political species in Republican-dominated Kansas. But her personal story, combined with strong campaign skills and a top-notch constituent service, helped her win reelection in 2020. Davids is the first openly LGBT Native American elected to the House, the first openly lesbian elected to the chamber, and one of two Native American women who have been members.
The Cornell Law School graduate first won her seat in 2018 by beating an incumbent Republican. This year, she faces a rematch with her 2020 opponent, former state GOP chairwoman Amanda Adkins. Two years ago, Davids beat Adkins 54%-44%, with Biden winning by an identical margin over Trump in the suburban Kansas City seat. But state Republicans enacted a gerrymandered map of Kansas’s four House districts. In Davids’s district, Biden would have won by a narrower 51%-47% margin.
Maine’s 2nd Congressional District
Former Rep. Bruce Poliquin is set for a rematch against Democratic Rep. Jared Golden. Golden, a retired Marine, beat Poliquin in 2018 and has since held the rural seat north of Portland, the largest House district by square mileage east of the Mississippi River. But the district backed Trump in 2020 over Biden and, in a strong Republican primary, could flip back to the GOP.
One wild card in this race is Maine’s use of ranked-choice voting in general elections. In 2018, Poliquin was ahead in the initial tally of votes. But Golden won the House seat since under Maine’s rules, voters rank candidates in their order of preference and then transfer their votes if no office-seeker gets more than 50%. Poliquin sued in federal court to block the result, but a district court judge rejected the defeated congressman’s claim.
Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District
The fight to hold this western Michigan seat is playing out in two parts: the Republican primary and the general election. Freshman Rep. Peter Meijer is one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in 2021. He faces an Aug. 2 Republican primary challenge by Trump administration HUD official John Gibbs.
If Meijer can make it to the general election, he’ll face Hillary Scholten, his 2020 Democratic opponent. Meijer won that race 53%-47%. It was the closest race in the district covering much of the same territory since 1982. The one-time deep-red area, including the longtime congressional district of late Republican President Gerald Ford, continues to become more politically diverse. The 3rd Congressional District is among a handful of House seats Democrats are hoping to flip in November.
Michigan’s 7th Congressional District
Rep. Elissa Slotkin has been among the most visible and vocal of the Democratic “wave” class of 2018, which gave the party its first House majority in eight years. The former CIA analyst and Department of Defense official beat a sitting Republican House member that year. Once in office, Slotkin generally voted with the House Democratic leadership but has kept her distance from the more left-wing clutch of lawmakers who were elected to Congress in the same year as her.
Slotkin has until now represented the Michigan state capital of Lansing and surrounding areas. But Michigan lost a seat in redistricting due to comparatively slow population growth, and Slotkin’s district lines shifted significantly. She’s now running for a more rural and suburban seat, in a perennial toss-up state. Slotkin’s likely Republican opponent in November is state Sen. Tom Barrett.
Michigan’s 8th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee, first elected to the House in 2012 after a long career in local government, is seeking reelection in a newly drawn Flint- and Saginaw-based seat. The new 8th District would have voted in 2020 for Biden over Trump 50%-48%. That’s a small but meaningful drop from Biden’s 51%-47% margin in the 5th Congressional District.
The Republican primary front-runner is former Trump administration official Paul Junge, who lost to Slotkin in 2020. One thing that may help Kildee is name recognition. His uncle, Democratic Rep. Dale Kildee, was in office from 1977-2013, amassing a House floor consecutive voting streak admired by members of both parties.
Nevada’s 1st Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Dina Titus is seeking reelection in a House seat she’s admitted may not be favorable to her political fortunes. “I totally got f***ed by the legislature on my district,” the Nevada Democrat said during December 2021 remarks at a town hall event. “I’m sorry to say it like that, but I don’t know any other way to say it.”
The suburban Las Vegas district is among three Nevada Republicans are trying to snag from Democrats. In November, Titus will face financial planner Mark Robertson, a first-time candidate who won the Republican nomination in a crowded field. Titus has represented a similar district since 2013. She was previously in the House 2009-11 in a nearby district, losing reelection in 2010 during the Republican wave but returning to Washington two years later after a new seat opened up during the last round of redistricting.
Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District
After redistricting, the seat includes the western half of the Las Vegas metropolitan area as well as the southern tip of the state. Rep. Susie Lee, a Democrat, has held the seat since 2019, and the last Republican elected there retired in 2017.
In the fall, Lee will face April Becker, a lawyer and small-business owner. Becker was the top fundraiser in a multicandidate GOP primary field and received high-profile endorsements from the Nevada Republican Party, House Minority Leader McCarthy, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
Nevada’s 4th Congressional District
Republicans believe the odds are in their favor in Nevada this year in House races and have particularly high hopes for flipping this seat, held by Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford. The former state Senate majority leader first won the House seat in 2012, becoming Nevada’s first black member of Congress. He lost his seat in the 2014 Republican wave. Democrat Ruben Kihuen won it back in 2016 but bowed out of another term following allegations of sexual misconduct. Horsford ran for the seat in 2018 and won. He was reelected in 2020.
Since then, Horsford has admitted to carrying on a long-standing affair with a former intern for Sen. Harry Reid, the late Democratic Senate majority leader from Nevada. The woman, who goes by the pseudonym “Love Jones,” began sharing her story on the Mistress for Congress podcast. She has also shared a screenshot of a message between her and Horsford dating back to 2018. Even Horsford’s wife doesn’t want him to run again.
The Republican nominee in the 4th Congressional District is Sam Peters, an Air Force veteran and insurance firm owner. Peters has pitched himself as a pro-Trump conservative and ardent supporter of the former president. Peters lost a House Republican primary bid in 2020 but will likely be running in a more favorable political environment this fall.
New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District
This seat takes in the suburbs and exurbs of New York City west to the Pennsylvania state line. In November, it will see a rematch of the 2020 House contest between Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski and Tom Kean Jr., the former state Senate Republican leader. Malinowski won that contest 49.4% to 46.7%.
This is Kean’s fourth bid for Congress over a 22-year period. The political environment highly favoring Republicans would seem to give Kean his best chance yet of winning federal office. Name recognition also will likely help. The Republican nominee is the son of former Gov. Tom Kean, in office from 1982 to ’90, and later the 9/11 Commission chairman. Moreover, Malinowski faces a House Ethics Committee investigation, spurred by an April 2021 news report that he traded approximately $1 million of stock in medical and tech companies involved in the virus response during the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District
State Democrats took a play from Republicans’ redistricting playbook and upended a political map status quo that had held for decades. Traditionally, two of the Land of Enchantment’s three House seats strongly favor Democrats. The third has been in the state’s southern tier, along the U.S. border with Mexico. This is conservative country where the oil and gas industries dominate, making the district more like neighboring west Texas than liberal Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the north.
But the new, Democratic-enacted map scrambled the state’s district lines, stretching this seat much further north and making it highly competitive. Freshman GOP Rep. Yvette Herrell is seeking reelection against Democratic Las Cruces City Councilor Gabe Vasquez. Herrell’s current House district backed Trump over Biden 55%-43%. But the seat she’s now seeking favored Biden over Trump 52%-46%, making her one of the more at-risk members of the House Republican Conference, even in a strong GOP year.
New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District
Rep. Chris Pappas is among the luckiest Democrats of the 2022 cycle. Pappas, first elected to the House in 2018, emerged relatively unscathed from the redistricting process that had been entirely in the hands of state Republicans.
New Hampshire’s pair of House districts have had mostly the same shapes since the 1880s, with lines moved a few miles this or that way across the Merrimack River once a decade. Republicans, holding narrow majorities in both chambers of the legislature, wanted to upend that status quo, turning the 1st Congressional District into a GOP-leaning seat. That would have had a political ripple effect of turning the 2nd Congressional District, in New Hampshire’s western half, into a safely Democratic seat by effectively poaching the bulk of GOP voters from it.
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu had other ideas. He sought to make both seats competitive and ultimately could not reach agreement with state lawmakers over a House map. New Hampshire’s Supreme Court ended up appointing a special master to draw the lines, and the political map that became law included only tiny changes to both House districts.
Not that Pappas has an easy path to reelection. The 1st Congressional District is one of the most politically volatile House seats in the country, often shifting according to the national political winds. In the 10 general elections from 2002 to 2020, Democrats won the seat six times and Republicans four.
Still, Pappas has some advantages. The new district would have favored Biden over Trump 52%-46%. Republicans also have a late primary, on Sept. 13, giving Pappas the playing field to himself for two-and-a-half months more.
GOP primary candidates include ex-television reporter Gail Huff Brown, wife of ex-Sen. Scott Brown, elected as a Republican in Massachusetts who, after losing his seat, ran unsuccessfully for the Senate from New Hampshire. Also in the GOP House primary scrum are ex-Trump White House aides Karoline Leavitt and Matt Mowers, who have endorsements from, respectively. House Minority Leader McCarthy and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Stefanik.
New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster beat a Republican incumbent in 2012 and hasn’t had a tough race since. But that’s likely to change in a political climate in which Democrats are on the defensive, even in a district where Biden would have beaten Trump 54% to 45%. The 2nd Congressional District, straddling the Vermont state line, has drawn seven Republican primary candidates, with Keene Mayor George Hansel considered the favorite.
New York’s 18th Congressional District
No House seat has stirred more Sturm und Drang than this newly drawn district north and west of New York City. It’s a relatively late-campaign cycle creation of New York state’s upended redistricting process.
New York lost a House seat due to comparatively slow population growth from 2010 to ’20. State Democrats, fully in control of the redistricting process, drew a deeply partisan map likely to produce a House delegation with 22 members of their own party and four Republicans. But Republicans sued in state court and won, throwing the process to a special master charged with drawing congressional lines. A court in May finalized a congressional map that obliterated Democratic gains in the state and positioned several incumbents on a collision course with each other.
That included none other than the lawmaker charged with holding House Democrats’ already tenuous House majority, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. His current district overlaps much of the 18th. But he opted to run in the neighboring, newly created 17th District, which includes parts of Rockland and surrounding counties.
It’s a safely Democratic seat but would have forced a member-on-member primary with freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones. After sniping between the pair in the media, Jones decided to run in the New York City-based 10th Congressional District, clearing the way for Maloney to claim the new 17th Congressional District.
The political maneuvering left open the 18th Congressional District, taking in a swath of communities between New York City and the state capital of Albany. The likely Democratic nominee is Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan. Assuming Ryan wins the Aug. 23 Democratic primary, he’ll face state Assemblyman Colin Schmitt.
New York’s 19th Congressional District
A court-ordered redrawing of New York’s House maps is likely a big political gift to Republicans, nowhere more than this seat, stretching from the Hudson Valley to Ithaca. It’s traditionally a GOP territory that over the past 16 years has become more politically competitive. Much of it had been represented in the House since January 2019 by a Democrat, former Rep. Antonio Delgado, who is now lieutenant governor of New York.
The Republican nominee for the new seat will be Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. For the right to face Molinaro in November, Democrats will choose businessman and farmer Jamie Cheney, attorney and former congressional aide Josh Riley, or artist and LGBT rights activist Osun Zotique.
It’s possible Molinaro will enter the fall campaign as an incumbent congressman. That’s because there’s an Aug. 23 special election to fill the remainder of Delgado’s House term in the district where the lines are about to disappear. Molinaro is the Republican nominee in that contest against the November standard-bearer in the neighboring 18th Congressional District, Pat Ryan. Both candidates will immediately pivot to the fall campaign in their neighboring districts.
North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District
State Democrats won a series of lawsuits in state courts to block a Republican gerrymander in North Carolina, which, thanks to robust population growth, picked up a new, 14th House seat after the 2020 census. Most seats are safe for Republican or Democratic candidates, but the 13th Congressional District, just south of Durham, is near evenly split. Former Yale University football star Bo Hines, a graduate of Wake Forest Law School who Trump backed in the competitive Republican primary, will face Democratic state Sen. Wiley Nickel in November.
Ohio’s 1st Congressional District
State Republicans were mostly successful in shoring up GOP incumbents during the redistricting process they controlled. But with Ohio losing a seat due to relatively slow population growth in the decade before 2020, not all sitting lawmakers could be protected. Rep. Steve Chabot may end up as the odd Republican out, even in a likely strong GOP year.
Chabot initially won his Cincinnati-based House seat in the 1994 Republican wave, which ushered in the first House GOP majority in 40 years. Despite Democratic challengers over the years of various qualities, Chabot, with his strongly conservative voting record, has mostly held on. Chabot did lose his seat in 2008, as President Barack Obama led Democratic wins up and down the ballot. But two years later, Chabot rebounded against the Democrat who beat him, reclaimed the seat as Republicans also regained the House majority, and has been safe ever since.
This year, Chabot faces Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman. And in a less favorable district than before. While the district still includes strongly Republican Warren County, it also takes in the entire city of Cincinnati, a blue bastion. And the long Chabot-friendly Western Hills area of Hamilton County has been grafted on to a neighboring district held by another House Republican.
In 2020, Biden would have won the new district by about 8.5 percentage points. Not surprisingly, the DCCC, put Ohio’s 1st Congressional District on its “Red to Blue” list of seats it believes it can flip in 2022.
Ohio’s 9th Congressional District
Of 2022 Republican House candidates who aren’t in office, J.R. Majewski can reasonably claim to be the biggest MAGA supporter. The Air Force veteran made news in 2020 when he used paint to transform his yard into a giant “Trump 2020 banner,” which the president praised on Twitter (six months before being banned from the platform after the Jan. 6 riots.) And Majewski attended the Jan. 6 Trump rally that preceded the president’s supporters’ attack on the Capitol.
Now, Majewski is running for Ohio’s newly redrawn 9th Congressional District. It’s a Toledo-area seat where, in 2020, Trump would have beat Biden 51% to 48%. Majewski defeated two Republican state legislators to win the nomination against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
The district is a massive change from the safely Democratic seats Kaptur has held since 1983, making her the longest-tenured female House member. For instance, the soon-disappearing district Kaptur currently represents would have picked Biden over Trump 59% to 40%.
Ohio’s 13th Congressional District
This new seat, in the southern suburbs of Akron and Cleveland, is another Buckeye State toss-up. The district would have backed Biden over Trump 51% to 48%, but both parties feel good about their chances.
The Republican nominee is attorney Madison Gesiotto Gilbert. She’s had a measure of national exposure in recent years as Miss Ohio USA in 2014, which led her to compete in the Miss USA contest. She is married to former NFL offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert. Democrats have put forward Emilia Sykes, a state representative since 2015. Sykes was state House minority leader for nearly three years, starting in February 2019.
Texas’s 34th Congressional District
Rep. Mayra Flores became a GOP rising star when she won a special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District. In doing so, Flores continued and likely sped up the trend of Republicans making serious inroads in traditionally Democratic South Texas, with its large Latino population. Flores is finishing the term won in 2020 by former Rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned to take a job at a Washington, D.C., law and lobbying firm. The historically blue 34th Congressional District stretches from the U.S.-Mexico border at Brownsville, Texas, north for hundreds of miles.
But in November, Flores will be seeking a full term in a different version of the 34th Congressional District, which will come into being thanks to the Republican-controlled redistricting process. The new 34th Congressional District would have backed Biden over Trump 57.2% to 41.7%. And this time, Flores will be running against an incumbent Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.
Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District
The race for this southeastern Virginia seat, which has one of the largest contingents of active-duty military personnel, pits two female Navy veterans against each other. Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria, first elected in 2018 when she beat an incumbent Republican, is seeking reelection against state Sen. Jen Kiggans.
Luria is a member of the House Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters in a bid to overturn President-elect Biden’s 2020 win. Luria, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, was a Navy officer for 20 years, operating on combat ships. Kiggans is a geriatric nurse practitioner and has represented Norfolk and Virginia Beach in Virginia’s 7th Senate District since November 2019. Prior to that, Kiggans was a naval aviator for 10 years, beginning in 1995.
The coastal Virginia district has the largest concentration of military personnel outside of the Pentagon, with more than 86,000 active-duty military personnel. More than 75 federal facilities and defense installations are in the district. Biden would have beaten Trump in the district 50% to 48%, narrower than in Luria’s current seat, which the president would have prevailed over his White House predecessor 51% to 47%.
Virginia’s 7th Congressional District
Since winning for the first time in 2018, Rep. Abigail Spanberger has been a high-profile Democrat. The former CIA officer has helped Democrats tout their national security credentials. Spanberger at times has also chastised her party about appearing to go too far left. Immediately after winning reelection in 2020 by a narrow margin, Spanberger admonished colleagues over “defund the police” legislative efforts in a phone call with fellow House Democrats. She argued further that party members should “not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again.”
Spanberger got to Congress by beating an incumbent Republican in a district stretching from southern Virginia up through Richmond to the Washington, D.C., exurbs. The newly redrawn 7th Congressional District is more compact and is closer to the nation’s capital.
Spanberger faces Republican nominee Yesli Vega, a Prince William County supervisor. Biden would have won the new seat 52% to 46%, compared to just 50% to 49% in the district currently represented by Spanberger.
Washington state’s 8th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier has kept a low profile nationally since winning her suburban Seattle House seat in 2018. The physician replaced a retiring GOP House member.

Schrier’s newly drawn seat, like her current constituency, would have supported Biden over Trump 52% to 45%. But Republicans feel like they have a good shot at beating Schrier in a strong Republican year. In 2020, she only defeated Republican opponent Jesse Jensen 52% to 48%.
Jensen is running again this year, in the all-party primary on Aug. 2. So is another prominent Republican in the area, King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn. He is the son of the late Rep. Jennifer Dunn, who represented previous versions of the district from 1993 to 2005. Another candidate is in the race, too, 2020 attorney general candidate Matt Larkin, who lost to a sitting Democrat for the state’s top law enforcement job.

HISTORY

https://www.history.com/news/voting-rights-timeline
|
Since America’s founding days, when voting was limited to white male property owners, to the transformative Voting Rights Act of 1965, to sweeping voting process reform introduced in the early 2000s, the right to vote in U.S. elections has seen massive change.
The original Constitution left voting rights to the states for a range of reasons, including a compromise over slavery and the fact that the concept of setting up a representative democracy was new, says David Schultz, a political science professor at Hamline University and the University of Minnesota School of Law.
“In 1787, the United States was in a unique position,” he says. “When you looked across the rest of the world you saw monarchies and principalities. You didn’t have this concept of voting rights. You didn’t vote kings in or out of office.”
In the 1820s, property qualifications for voting began to be eliminated, and amendments, including the 15th and 19th, granted the right to vote to Black men and to women, respectively, although they didn’t guarantee that right to all Americans. During the nearly century-long Jim Crow era, for example, intimidation, violence, literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauses and other tools were used to prevent voting for minority populations in the South.
But the Voting Rights Act, Schultz says, pushed back those restrictions.
“The VRA did what Reconstruction did: It put federal muscle behind voting rights,” Schultz says. “... At the end of the day, if you as a state weren’t going to protect voting rights, you knew that the Department of Justice was going to take action and the Supreme Court was there to support them.”
After the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder Supreme Court decision found section 4 of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional, states that had previously had to clear election changes through the federal government were free to make changes on their own. That led to new waves of state laws enacting voter ID requirements, closed polling stations, restrictions on vote by mail and limited voting hours.
“We have two tendencies in American history regarding voting rights,” Schultz says. “One has been the gradual expansion toward universal franchise over time, but at the same time there has been a counterpush to disenfranchise.”
Below is a timeline of milestones in American voting rights history.
Constitution Leaves States in Charge of Voting
August 2, 1776: Declaration of Independence Frames Voters' Rights
In the Declaration of Independence, signed on this day, Thomas Jefferson writes, "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed."
June 21, 1788: Voting Left to States
The U.S. Constitution is adopted on this date, but in lieu of a federal requirement, it grants states the power to establish standards for voting rights. As a result, mostly white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males, who own property and are older than 21, are the only group allowed to vote. Article II establishes the Electoral College.
July 9, 1868: Citizenship Granted to All US-Born and Naturalized
Following the 13th Amendment, which prohibits slavery, the 14th Amendment is ratified, granting citizenship to all people "born or naturalized in the United States" and "equal protection under the laws," including formerly enslaved people.
Black Men, Women Get Right to Vote
February 3, 1870: Black Men Granted the Right to Vote
The 15th Amendment is ratified, granting Black men the right to vote and Congress the power to enforce the right. However, laws, including poll taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses, are enacted in mostly Southern states, suppressing Black voting rights until 1965.
August 18, 1920: Women Get the Right to Vote
After decades of protest and struggles for change, the 19th Amendment is adopted, granting American women the right to vote: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” However, its passage does not stop mostly Southern states from restricting minority women from voting through the passage of discriminatory laws.
Native Americans, Asian Americans Gain Rights
June 2, 1924: Native Americans Granted the Right to Vote
Congress enacts the Indian Citizenship Act, granting the right to vote to Native Americans born in the United States. Despite its passage, some states continue to bar Native Americans from voting.
1943 Chinese Exclusion Act Ends
In the wake of World War II when the United States and China had operated as allies, the Chinese Exclusion Act, which had barred Chinese from becoming citizens since 1882, is finally repealed. Chinese immigrants and their American-born families become the first Asian Americans eligible to naturalize and gain citizenship—and vote.
March 29, 1961: Washington, D.C. Residents Can Vote in Presidential Elections
The 23rd Amendment is ratified, allowing American citizens living in the District of Columbia to vote for president and vice president. Prior to its passage, D.C. residents could only vote for those offices with valid registration in one of the nation's states.
January 23, 1964: Poll Taxes Banned
The 24th Amendment is ratified, prohibiting the use of poll taxes in federal elections. "There can be no one too poor to vote," President Lyndon Johnson says during a ceremony announcing the amendment.
Voting Rights Act of 1965
August 6, 1965: Voting Rights Act
President Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act into law, banning literacy tests and enforcing the 15th Amendment on a federal level. It also provides for federal examiners who can register voters in certain jurisdictions. Facing a flurry of legal challenges, the U.S. Supreme Court upholds its constitutionality in a number of rulings from 1965-1969. In 1970, Section 5 is extended for five years.
July 1, 1971: 18 and Up Can Vote
The 26th Amendment is signed by President Richard Nixon, granting the right to vote to U.S. citizens who are 18 or older. Prohibiting discrimination based on age, it lowers the age from 21, largely in reaction to the number of 18-20-year-olds fighting in Vietnam.
August 6, 1975: Rights for Non-English-Speaking Voters
In addition to establishing a permanent ban on literacy tests and other discriminatory voting requirements, amendments to the Voting Rights Act are signed into law by President Gerald Ford requiring districts with significant numbers of non-English-speaking voters to be provided with instructions or assistance in registering and voting.
June 29, 1982: Voting Rights Act Extended
President Ronald Reagan signs a 25-year extension of the Voting Rights Act. Revisions also reverse recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court, making voting easier for people with disabilities and the elderly.
Accessibility Becomes Requirement
September 28, 1984: Voting Is Made Accessible
The Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1984 is signed into law by Reagan, requiring polling places in federal elections to be accessible for people with disabilities and the elder. It also states that if no accessible location is available, an alternative way to vote on Election Day must be offered.
May 20, 1993: Voter Registration Through DMVs
Also known as the "motor voter" law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 is signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It requires state motor vehicle agencies to offer voter registration opportunities, states to offer mail-in voter registration applications, states to maintain current and accurate voter registration lists and opportunities to register to vote at certain state and local offices. In its first year, 30 million-plus voters update or complete their registration.
October 29, 2002: Help America Vote Act
Enacting sweeping voting process reform, President George W. Bush signs Help America Vote Act, mandating that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission improve and certify voting equipment, maintain the National Voter Registration form and administer a national elections clearinghouse with shared practices, among other items. It provides states with funds to meet the new standards and provisions.
Supreme Court Walks Back Voting Rights Act
June 25, 2013: Voting Rights Act Walked Back
In Shelby County v. Holder, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, rules that Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional, holding that the constraints placed on certain states and federal review of states' voting procedures, known as preclearance, are outdated. Seen as a blow to civil rights activists, since the ruling, which affected nine states and several counties and townships, a federal commission found at least 23 states had enacted "newly restrictive statewide voter laws." These include polling place closures, voter ID laws, limiting early voting and more.

He was one of two lawyers that Louisiana State Bar Association was allowed to name to the commission that handles complaintsand metes out discipline to judges in all courts of the state. Cleveland was the first person not a judge that was elected chairman of the commission. Respected and admired by his peers, Cleveland lived a full and interesting life as a one time Assistant Attorney General for Louisiana, a northern Louisiana Consumer Protection and Commercial Fraud Prosecutor, and served and chaired a Louisiana Committee that provided free lawyers for persons charged with felonies.
Apart from his career, political and civic duties, Cleve was an avid reader, especially enjoying tales of the Old West. On his small farm, he bred and trained Arabian and quarter horses. Later in his life, Cleveland resided in Texarkana with his special cousin Julia Peck Mobley and her children, Helen Mobley Daniel, and Matthew and Philip Mobley. He was a member of First United Methodist Church of Texarkana, Arkansas and the Genesis Sunday School Class.
He was a member of the Petroleum Club of Shreveport, Shreveport Country Club, Texarkana Country Club, and the Everglades Club of Palm Beach, Florida. He belonged to the Harvard Club of Louisiana, the Symphony Society, the Civic Opera Association and various museum organizations.
Cleveland was preceded in death by his parents, his wife of over 50 years, Dr. Edith Rigsby of Calcasieu Parish and his brother, Ralph Burton of Raleigh, N.C.
He is survived by his brother, King Burton and his wife Lucy of Houston, a niece, Kizziah Burton, two greatnieces and several Burton and Rigsby cousins.

CONDRY, James
BLANTT, Joseph
HAMILTON,William
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT WASHINGTON MINE No. 5 ~ Three Men Killed and Thirteen Others Injured by Collision on Incline
Early This Morning - Two of Latter May Die ~ MEN WERE GOING UP PLANE TO WORK
Special to the Times ~ Westernport, Md., Jan. 25 - A dreadful accident occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning at Washington Mine No. 5 of the Piedmont and George's Creek Coal Co., near Franklin, Md., of which Mr. M. P. Fahey is superintendent, in which three men were killed instantly and thirteen others were badly, and one or two perhaps fatally injured.
The Killed
Jos. Blantt, Italian laborer
William Hamilton, blacksmith, of Franklin
James Condry, dumpman, of Franklin
The Injured
Kirk, a brakeman on the mine electric motor, injured in the arm and chest. He resides at Barton and will recover.
Edward Kight, carpenter, injured seriously about the head.
John and Louis Tucci, Italian laborers. Joseph hurt about the head, Louis in the legs and chest.
L. C. Lambert, leg broken; resides at Reb's station, near Westerport.
W. H. Smith, weightmaster, shoulder blade broken and injured in the back; resides at Reb's station.
James Gowan, laborer, face cut; resides at Barton.
George Hamilton, miner, face cut; resides at Franklin.
Ed Frazenbaker, roadsman, hurt about arm; resides at Westernport.
Thomas Murphy, fireman, eyes and back injured.
Escaped Injury
Earnest Phillips and Clarence McAllister, both of Franklin, escaped injury. Murphy was on the descending loaded cars; the others were all on the ascending empties. None of the cars were thrown from the track by collision.
How it Happened
As stated, the accident happened on the incline plane during the first trip of the day. The ascending cars are always empty and they meet the descending loads at an automatic switch half way up the incline. Here, of course, if the switch is properly set, they pass each other, keep to the track to the right and there is seldom any difficulty in passing. William Stowell, a lad sixteen or seventeen years old, is charged with setting the switch, and it is thought that in some way he neglected to perform his duty properly and hence the trips collided while going at a high speed.
The men were all riding up the incline on their way to work in or about the mines.
Condry and Blantt were killed instantly. Hamilton died at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Father Quinn, of Barton, and Scarpatti, of Morantown, were quickly on the scene.
Store Turned Into Hospital
The injured in the mine accident have all been taken to Gannon's store at Franklin, which has been turned into a temporary hospital. All the physicians of Piedmont and Westernport are in attendance.
Kight Has Since Died
Since the above story was written Mr. Edward Kight has died. Mr. L. C. Lambert and the three Italians who were seriously injured were taken to the Hoffman Hospital at Keyser. Mr. Kight died at 12:20. The others who were injured were taken to their homes, none of whom were seriously injured.
Mr. Lambert and the three Italians were reported in a critical condition at 4 o'clock.

Biography
James Norman Cupp was born in Corning, Iowa on 28 March 1921. He graduated from High School in Red Oak, Iowa in 1938. He attended the University of Iowa for two years, taking his Sophomore finals two months early so he could join the Navy V-5 flight training program. In college, Cupp was an avid swimmer and diver. He was also a member of Dolphin Fraternity, a national honorary swimming organization.
World War II
Cupp enlisted in the Navy on 15 May 1941 and entered the V-5 flight training program. He graduated at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas 9 January 1942 and was commissioned a Second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, 27 February 1942. On 3 March 1942, he married Daphne Snider, of Fairfield, Iowa. Cupp then attended aerial photography training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
Cupp was attached to VMF-213, the Hell Hawks, in September 1942 at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa and later flew the Vought F4U Corsair. He had his crew paint Daphne "C", for his wife, on the engine cowling of his Corsair. He arrived at the Solomon Islands for his first combat tour on 3 April 1943. Cupp scored his first aerial victory on 15 July 1943 and was an ace three days later. During his tour he was credited with 13 1/2 or 13 aerial victories based on reports by his wingmen. According to Guttman (2005), he was officially credited with 12 victories.
On 20 September 1943, Captain Cupp was shot down by a G4M1 Betty, north of Kolombangara, using an improvised gun unexpectedly mounted in its bomb bay and he was severely burned. Badly injured, he spent the next 18 months in hospitals, primarily Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, California. After that he served as a Naval Flight instructor. The war ended before he could return to the Pacific theater.

|
James Norman Cupp (28 March 1921 – 2 June 2004) was a United States Marine Corps aviator during World War II. Cupp was a double flying ace with at least 12 aerial victories in the Solomon Islands during three months of World War II. He was a recipient of the Navy Cross, the navy's second highest military decoration for valor and was a four-time recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross. Also a Korean War veteran, he retired as a colonel to Manassas, Virginia, in 1968.[1][2]
Early life
[edit]
James Norman Cupp was born in Corning, Iowa, on 28 March 1921. He graduated from high school in Red Oak, Iowa, in 1938.[1] He attended the University of Iowa for two years, taking his Sophomore finals two months early so he could join the Navy V-5 flight training program.[3] In college, Cupp was an avid swimmer and diver.[2] He was also a member of Dolphin Fraternity, a national honorary swimming organization.[4][5]
Naval career
[edit]
World War II
[edit]
Cupp enlisted in the Navy on 15 May 1941 and entered the V-5 flight training program. He graduated at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas 9 January 1942[2] and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, 27 February 1942.[3] On 3 March 1942, he married Daphne Snider, of Fairfield, Iowa. Cupp then attended aerial photography training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.[2]
Cupp was attached to VMF-213, the Hell Hawks, in September 1942 at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa and later flew the Vought F4U Corsair. He had his crew paint Daphne "C", for his wife, on the engine cowling of his Corsair. He arrived at the Solomon Islands for his first combat tour on 3 April 1943.[1][2] Cupp scored his first aerial victory on 15 July 1943 and was an ace three days later. During his tour he was credited with 13 1/2[1] or 13[3] aerial victories based on reports by his wingmen. According to Guttman (2005), he was officially credited with 12 victories.[2][6]
On Sept. 20, 1943, while on dawn patrol with two other squadron pilots, 1st Lt. F.V. Avery and 2nd Lt. J.M. Walley, Captain Cupp was shot down north of Kolombangara by a G4M1 Betty with an improvised gun unexpectedly mounted in its bomb bay; he was severely burned.[2] He spent the next 18 months recovering from second-degree burns of his face, right hand and forearm and third-degree burns of both legs in hospitals, primarily Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, California, according to "VMF 213 Flight Surgeon's Records & Hell Hawk Poems" by John M. Livingood. After that, he served as a Naval flight instructor. The war ended before he could return to the Pacific theater.[3]
Later career
[edit]
Cupp served in the Korean War[1] and received his fourth Distinguished Flying Cross for service during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir where he was an air officer on the ground, responsible for directing close air support operations.[2]
After World War II, he served as commanding officer for VMO-6 in Qingdao, China, HQ Squadron, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing in Tianjin, China, Marine Detachment (MARDET) Naval Air Station New Orleans, MARDET Naval Air Station Glenview, VMFT-10 at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro and Marine Air Control Squadron 1 in Taiwan.[1]
Colonel Cupp retired to Manassas, Virginia, in 1968,[1] selling real estate until 1973.[2] He died on 2 June 2004 and was buried at Stonewall Memory Gardens, Manassas, Virginia.[2][7]
Awards and honors
[edit]
His decorations include the Navy Cross, four Distinguished Flying Cross awards,[2] Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device, Purple Heart, Air Medal, Navy Commendation Medal with "V" Device, four Presidential Unit Citations and other campaign awards.[1]

Navy Cross citation
[edit]
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Captain James Norman Cupp, United States Marine Corps Reserve, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of his profession as Division Leader and a Pilot in Marine Fighting Squadron Two Hundred Thirteen (VMF-213), Marine Air Group Eleven (MAG-11), First Marine Aircraft Wing, in aerial combat against enemy Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands Area, on 18 September 1943. While leading his three-fighter division on a patrol over our base on Vella Lavella, Captain Cupp boldly intercepted an overwhelming force of fifteen hostile dive bombers and their fighter escorts threatening our installations. Promptly engaging the enemy, he personally blasted four bombers from the sky and assisted in the shooting down of another. By his superb skill, daring initiative and devotion to duty, Captain Cupp contributed to the success of his squadron and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.[8]
— Commander South Pacific, 19 March 1947

OUILDA FRANCES ARHUR GREEN
Ouilda Arthur Petty Green, 97, of Ardmore, Oklahoma, passed away on December 9, 2013 at Mercy Love County Hospital in Marietta. Ouilda was born on May 9, 1916 in Illinois Bend, Texas. She was the 3rd child of Russell and Myrtle Arthur of Leon, Oklahoma. Her early years were spent on the family farm. She worked and played alongside all of her brothers and sisters and had many fond memories of her siblings. Ouilda attended school at Leon where she met her future husband, Garnet Petty. She and Garnet were married in Marietta on July 1, 1931. She often mentioned how she married the most handsome boy in Leon. Their marriage was blessed with four children, Media June, Garnet Wallace (Buddy), Norma Jean, and Brenda Jane. Ouilda and Garnet lived in Leon where they grew peanuts, cotton, and corn. She also found time to raise hogs and chickens. She was known around the county as an excellent seamstress. Ouilda designed and made baby clothes that she sold during The Depression. Her baby clothes were ordered by people from all parts the country. Her life was turned upside down on September 9, 1956 when her husband, Garnet, unexpectedly died at the age of 44. She sold their home in Leon and moved with her youngest daughter to Topeka, Kansas. Ouilda then began her career as a florist at Stanleys Flowers. She worked as a florist for 42 years in Topeka, Tulsa, Marietta and Ardmore. She designed flowers for Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and several Kansas governors. Ouilda married John Norman Green on July 20, 1968 in Topeka, Kansas. John was a minister with the Methodist Church, recently assigned to a church in Robinson, Kansas. While in Robinson, John taught her how to drive. This began her love for cars. Tragically, their life together was short lived as he died just two years later on August 8, 1970. She spent the last 44 years of her life in Carter and Love Counties. She loved to work in her yard, design flowers, and make quilts. Her favorite pastimes were watching NASCAR and the Texas Rangers. In 2000, Ouilda moved to Ardmore. The last few years of her life were her happiest as she was able to live with her family. She loved being around family and loved getting to spend time with her great-great grandchildren. Ouilda was a woman of great faith and she set an example for her family. She loved reading her bible and in her earlier years taught Sunday school. At the time of her death, she attended Victory Life Church Ardmore. In addition to her husbands, Ouilda was preceded in death by her parents, as well as six brothers; Jack, Adrian, Cecil, Ray, Bennett, and Byron, and four sisters; Cleda, Cecile, Esther, and Thelma Faye.

Trailing 1-0 at the break, the Highlanders got second-half strikes from freshman Luis Grande (Caracas, Venezuela) (62nd minute) and junior Anthony Payne (Manassas, Va./Osbourn Park) (81st minute) to conclude their first of three pre-season tune ups deadlocked.
The two teams agreed prior to the contest to play two 45 minutes halves regardless of the score at the end of regulation.
Grande's goal was set up by a flick from Iyiola Awosika (London, England/Aylesbury Grammar) from just outside the box, while Payne's late equalizer came off a long Bernardo Ulmo (Sao Paulo, Brazil/South Kent) cross over the defense.
Appalachian State finished with a 10-7 edge in shots, while both teams attempted two corner kicks.
Chad Dalton's header off a Luis Calzadilla corner gave the Mountaineers a 1-0 advantage just 18 minutes into the game.
Shortly after Grande evened the score 1-1, Antonio Harley put away a Sean Dreybus shot attempt, which caromed off the fingers of Highlander goalkeeper Joey Dennis (Manassas, Va./Osbourn Park) to push Appalachian State back in front with just over 20 minutes remaining.
Dennis, who split time with Ryan Taylor in goal, finished with a game-high three saves.
Radford will continue its pre-season slate with a 4 p.m. match at in-state foe James Madison Wednesday afternoon in Harrisonburg.

Bedford – Stephen G. Gratzer, 75, of Beford, passed away on Friday, November 17, 2023, at I.U. Health Methodist Hospital.
Born October 16, 1948 in Bedford, he was the son of George and Anna Mae (Wray) Gratzer. He married Janice Brown, on March 8, 1975, and she survives. He retired as a golf course superintendent and from General Electric.
Steve’s first loves were family and the outdoors. His wife, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins were his pride and joy. Whether playing side by side or watching from the sidelines, he would be there for his brother, nephews, sons, or grandchildren. He had a passion for golf, fishing, mushroom hunting, and arrowhead hunting. Since a young age and throughout his life, the golf course was a focal point, working, playing, and cheering family and friends on. After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Agronomy, he helped build the Gary Works U.S. Steel Supervisors Club (now River Pointe Country Club) in Hobart, IN. Here he met Janice and the two were soon married. He moved back home to Bedford to be the greenskeeper at Otis Park before circling back to Hobart again on the course he helped build until 1993 when he moved back to Bedford to stay. He would decide he was done working on the course and started working at GE, until he had to retire early due to health issues. Though no longer working on the course, he was still out there every weekend and more. His grandkids had become the true focal point once they arrived. He loved big and had a sense of humor and smile that were contagious. Not one to stand around, he was always willing to jump in and help with anything. One thing people might not know, he was a great artist who could draw very well and loved woodworking. He went by many names, Steve, Weevie, dad, brother, Poppie, grampa, uncle, and friend.
Surviving with his wife Janice, are his two sons, Jamie Gratzer and wife Tessa of Bedford, Scott Gratzer and wife Lupita of Mitchell; nine grandchildren, Henry, Maggie, Sammie, Jasper, Tempe, Frankie, Stephen, Christopher, and Angie; his brother Donald R Gratzer and wife Tonya; sister-in-law Elizabeth Gratzer; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Nancy Lynn Arena
Bedford – Nancy Lynn Arena, 75, of Bedford, passed away Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
Born May 27, 1948, in Bloomington, she was the daughter of John and Phyllis (Stillions) Jeskewich. She was a 1966 graduate of Bedford High School, and on October 23, 1966, she married Michael Dale Arena, with whom she shared 56 wonderful years until his passing earlier this year. Nancy was a beautiful soul in every sense of the word, and was one of the kindest, sweetest people you could ever meet. She was a devout Christian and a member of Southland Church of Christ. Nancy also loved to fish and play pinochle with her family and friends. In fact, on August 5, 2022, in what will go down as one of the most epic games in the history of three-handed pinochle, Nancy accomplished a one-in-a-million feat by pulling every trick (called a pinochle), much to the dismay of her husband and son.
Even though Nancy had several health issues throughout the years, and most recently had been grieving the deaths of her daughter and husband, she was grateful, resilient, sweet (well, most of the time), and to those who knew her best, she was the essence of strength. She will certainly leave an indelible mark on the hearts of her friends and family, all of whom loved her very much and will miss her every day forward.
Survivors include her brother, Mike Jeskewich and wife, Carla, of Bedford; her sister, Sally Meridith and husband, Roger, of Bloomington; her son, Sam Arena and wife, Azure, of Carmel; and her granddaughter, Alyson Arena, whom she loved dearly and spoiled every time she saw her. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Phyllis Jeskewich, her husband, Michael Arena, and her daughter, Mandy Arena.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 18th in the Elmwood Chapel of the Day & Carter Mortuary with Pastor Bud Smith officiating. Burial will follow in Green Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. until the hour of service on Saturday, at the Day & Carter Mortuary.

James Lee “Jimmy” Strother, 75, of Warren County, Virginia, passed away on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at his home, surrounded by his wife, son, brother, and sister.
Jimmy was born on April 13, 1949, to the late Homer Lee “Junior” and Loney Florence Dodson Strother.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Darlene; his son, Bryan (Diana); his brother, Johnny (Brenda); his sister, Janice; his granddaughter, Lina; and his grandson, Jacob.
Jimmy was valedictorian of his high school class, graduating from John S. Mosby Academy in 1967. At the time, he was interested in pursuing a career in space engineering and attended the Florida Institute of Technology for one year.
Jimmy was what one could call a “Renaissance Man”: kind, gentle, wise, and highly intelligent. His abilities ranged from exploring the intricacies of a motor to pondering the existential issues of human existence. He loved astronomy, archeology, art, and literature. One of his great regrets was never getting to see the Egyptian pyramids.
He was awed and delighted by the beauty and wonderments of “Mother Nature”. This love of the outdoors led him to spend six years working with his friend Rice Matthews as a stone mason, building/repairing walls, chimneys, fireplaces, and patios in the surrounding counties. Each man had his own style, and they complemented one another beautifully.
Then, Jimmy accepted a position as a property manager for Knowles Partnership, enabling him to move his family onto “Ah, Wilderness!” Farm near Linden. Here, he was in his element. He boarded horses, raised a few head of cattle, and rented the pasture to other farmers. Depending upon the season, each day on the farm demanded a variety of tasks: caring for the animals, mowing, cutting and stacking wood (someone commented that even the woodpile was a work of art), plowing snow, maintaining the ditches so the road wouldn’t wash away, bushhogging, fixing fences, keeping the tractors, trucks, and cars running…to name a few. Jimmy was simply competent, the most capable man most people would ever know. He could fix, fabricate, or build anything he set his mind to, and everything was done with pride and craftsmanship.
Jimmy was well-liked and respected. When it was time to collect the rent from the apartments and townhouses he managed, he was always welcome, even if he had to gently remind folks that their rent was overdue. It was not unusual to be invited in for a “shot of bourbon.” He enjoyed the conversations and stories of others. His circle of friends was huge and diverse. Everyone had a story; he was a great listener and unafraid to be honest when asked for advice. He possessed a witty and playful sense of humor, always ready to laugh with others and, occasionally, at himself.
Animals instinctively recognized him as trustworthy, knowing they were safe and, if injured, would receive proper care. Over the years, he raised and rescued a host of two and four-legged friends: cats, dogs, a rooster, an owl, peacocks, ducks, flying squirrels, and deer. The owl was particularly special. “Hooter” would follow Jimmy around the farm as he fixed fences, greet him upon his return home, and land on his outstretched arm when Jimmy was properly prepared. He was never alone on walks but always accompanied by his menagerie.
Even as he neared the end, he was still mindful. Aware that we were trying to reposition or pamper him, he would grow weary and say, “Now, you girls, need to stop”. But his words were never uttered in anger. Jimmy was a GENTLEman to the end.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Albert Allen Jenkins, 77, of Front Royal, Virginia, passed away on Monday, August 5, 2024 at Winchester Medical Center.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 10, at 3:00 p.m. at Maddox Funeral Home with Pastor Scott Priest officiating. Interment will follow in Mt. Zion Cemetery in Luray.
Mr. Jenkins was born March 23, 1947, in Luray, Virginia, the son of the late Nolan Price Jenkins and Neva Alger Jenkins Manning.
He retired after many years as a plumber from Sterling Plumbing. However, he wanted to stay busy, so he worked as a Security Guard for Skyline Ranch Resort in Warren County.
Mr. Jenkins was a U.S. Army Veteran serving in Vietnam. He was a member of the Loyal Order of the Moose #829 in Front Royal and enjoyed spending time at the Strasburg and Woodstock Moose Lodges. He was a member of the VFW Post 1860 in Front Royal, a past member of the B.P.O.E. in Front Royal, and a member of the Giles B. Cook Post 53 of the American Legion in Front Royal.

He was married, May 22, 1853, to Miss Mary P. Brown; and to this union have been born, Alvan K. and William R., both living, and one son dead. He is a member of the Methodist Church South, and is also a member of the I. O. G. T. In 1861 he enlisted in the M. S. G., and was commissioned quartermaster, with the rank of captain. Returned to Saline, in the fall of 1861, with orders to recruit, and was returning south with a company of recruits, in Robinson’s regiment of recruits, when the whole were captured by Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, at Blackwater, December 19, 1861. Was in prison in St. Louis, and Alton, Illinois, for nine months, and was then exchanged at Vicksburg, in 1862, and rejoined the confederate army. Was in the quarter-master and commissary departments, most of the time, and was mustered out at the end of the war in 1865. At the August election, in 1860, Capt. Ruxton was the regular democratic candidate for sheriff of Saline, but was defeated by a small majority, by D. R. Durrett, the Bell and Everett candidate. In 1872 after the re-enfranchisement of the southern men in Missouri, Capt. Ruxton ran for the office of collector, as an independent democrat, but was defeated by H. H. Harris, the regularly nominated candidate of the democratic party. In 1876 he was a candidate against the regularly nominated democratic candidate, running against Col. W. S. Jackson, for the office of county clerk, and was again defeated. Before and since the war, Capt. Ruxton has traveled largely in Canada and in all the states of the Union. Since 1855, he has been engaged in the general shipping business, except during the war. In 1857 a fire cost him about $9,000, and then the war almost impoverished him, losing him about $15,000. But by his indomitable pluck and energy, he has once more worked out for himself, a fair competency. Capt. Ruxton, a gentleman of the old school, and a man of hard Scotch sense, and notwithstanding his repeated political defeats, is one of the most popular men in the county. Page 812

At eighteen years of age he moved to Grant county, Kentucky, and from there to Missouri in February, 1876, and located one mile and a half south of Miami. He was married February 23, 1854, to Miss Elizabeth McDowell, and to this union were born four children: Millard F., Lola G., William F., and Robert H., all living, and Bettie E., dead. Mrs. Lemmon died June 16, 1871, and Mr. Lemmon was again married, March 13, 1873, to Mrs. Sarah E. Davis, whose maiden name was Berry, No Children. He has an excellent farm of 145 acres, all in cultivation, with good buildings, and he devotes himself to farming and stock-feeding. Directly and indirectly, the war cost him about $1,000. Page 822
Giles R. McDaniel, P. O., Miami. Was born in Booneville, Missouri, December 20, 1842. When but two years old, his father moved to Saline county, where he was raised on a farm, and received a good English education. He entered William Jewell College; but had only been there one year when the war broke out, and he volunteered, August, 1861, in the southern army, and continued in the service until the close, in 1865. First volunteered in the Missouri state guards. When discharged at the end of his six months, he enlisted in the Confederate army, Capt. Ruxton’s company, and was captured with Robinson’s regiment of recruits at Blackwater, December 19, 1861, and imprisoned in the old McDowell College, St. Louis. In the next month, January, 1862, he escaped from the prison, passing the sentry in the disguise of a negro, and spent the night in one of the hotels. Early the next morning he started out on foot, but soon encountered the picket. As soon as he came to the sentry, he stopped, and remarked to his servant (who was with him) “George, we can’t get any ice out of the river here, and we might as well go back!” They therefore turned back toward the city, but in a short time met a lost of cows going out to the common to graze, so they fell in with them and thus passed the picket. They walked all day up the river, but were recaptured that same evening. From some cause, the officer who had captured them, called Giles a “liar.” He replied, “you are neither a gentleman for a brave man, you have two revolvers, and I propose that we make this personal, and settle it with them.” The officer took the proposition in good part, and bringing out a supply of old Bourbon, proposed that, instead of fighting, they should drink and be friends. McDaniel agreed. With the idea of escape in his mind, he then encouraged the drinking, but only pretending to drink himself. By daylight, the whole of his guard, officer and men, were too drunk to take any notice of him. So he bade them adieu; and that is the last he ever saw of them. After going a short distance, he met an Irishman that had seen him the night before. The Irishman accused him of being the man, he denied it, until the lie passed, and the Irishman started for McDaniel. Mac. had no arms, but put his hand in his pocket, as if he had, and ordered him to halt, or he would shoot him. The Irishman was bluffed, and a recapture avoided. He now moved on, but found it impossible to get rid of the Irishman, who now pretended to be his friend. The Irishman finally agreed to ferry him across the river. After they got in the skiff and out a little way from the shore, McDaniel again put his hand in his pocket, and notified the Irishman that unless he landed him safely and quietly on the Illinois shore, he would be shot through the head. The Celt rowed for dear life, made a safe landing in Illinois and received his pay and returned. The rest was easy, and except that the weather and roads were bad, he had little trouble in reaching home. But the Federal soldiers soon heard of his return, and endeavored to capture him. He dodged them, and went to Louisville, Kentucky, then around to Richmond, Virginia, crossing the Chesapeake bay in a canoe, where it was twenty miles wide. From Richmond he was passed on to Little Rock, Arkansas, and reported to Gen. Price. Mr. McDaniel was married February 12, 1867, to Miss Laura V. Garnett, and to them have been born five children, all living: Mattie D., Minnie L, Ethel F., Chapman A., and Bessie R. He is a member of the Baptist Church and A. O. U. W. Page 822-823
William Surbaugh, deceased. One of the early settlers of Saline county; was born in Greenbriar county, Virginia, November 12, 1804, and was raised and educated, and married there to Miss Hannah Hisey. They had twelve children, six of them now dead, and six living, viz: Ann E., Charles W., Henry C., Joseph T., John L, and Mitchell B. In 1839 he moved to Missouri, and settled on a farm near Miami, in Saline county. From this place there is a fine view of the surrounding country, and of the stirring little city of Miami, and here Mr. Surbaugh lived until his death, which occurred September 27, 1878. He was mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. His estimable lady still survives him, and, in fair health, is living at the old homestead with her son, John L. Surbaugh, the next to the youngest son, who is still unmarried, and carries on the home farm. Both the old folks have been connected with the Baptist Church for over thirty years. Notwithstanding that the war lost Mr. Surbaugh fully $15,000, he left a fine estate. Page 823-824
Daniel T. Guthrey, deceased. One of the early settlers of Saline county, was born in Buckingham county, Virginia, July 17, 1817, where he was raised in the country, on a farm, and received a good English education. In 1837 he came to Saline county, Missouri, and was employed by Col. John Brown, as overseer, which position he occupied for a number of years, and then commenced farming for himself. He was married August 5, 1840, to Miss Harriet M. Brown, daughter of Col. John Brown. They have nine children living, (and two, Addie, and James E., dead), viz John W., Mrs. Annie M. Jeter, Charles P., Arthur M., Ida R., Nova H., Emma B., Lucy L., and Travis S. Mrs. Guthrey died November 12, 1876, and February 23, 1880, he was laid by her side, awaiting the resurrection of the just. Arthur M. Guthrey, son of Daniel T. Guthrey, was born in Texas, while his parents were there on a trip for their health, March 10, 1853. He was raised on his father’s farm in this county, where he was principally educated, spending one year at Kirksville, Missouri. He has charge of his father’s affairs, settling up the estate, and, with his two brothers and three sisters, is managing the farm of 480 acres, keeping the family together. He is feeding sixty-seven head of fat cattle, and about eighty-seven head of stock cattle. He is a member of the Methodist Church, South, and is yet unmarried. He is a managing and enterprising young man, and is sure to succeed. Page 824
William H. Pate, Sr. P. O. Miami. Was born in Williamson county, Tennessee, September 26, 1816, his father being a cotton planter there; and when William was but nine or ten years old his father moved to Lauderdale county, Alabama, where he entered more largely into the growing of cotton. He (William) received a good English education. In 1836 he volunteered as a private in the Florida war, and was detailed to the very hazardous employment of carrying the mail. In 1837 he began the trade of blacksmith and gunsmith, which he followed until 1842. He then moved to Carroll county, Missouri, and located on a farm four miles west of De Witt, and remained there until 1865, when he moved to a farm in this county, and has since been engaged in farming and stock-feeding. On the 21st of October, 1841, he was married to Miss Belinda Watson, of Alabama; and to them have been born seven children, three—Thomas J., William Henry, and Andrew J.,--now living, and four, two daughters and two sons, dead. Mrs. Pate died in 1857; and March 20, 1861, he was married the second time, to Mrs. Mary D. Stephenson, widow of Edward Stephenson, by whom she had one son, William D. Stephenson. Her maiden name was Moberly, Mr. Pate was a constitutional man in the great excitement of 1860. He believed slavery to wrong per se, but yet did not believe it right to take the slaves from their masters without paying for them, after the law had made them property. He was too old for the army when the war broke out, and he endeavored to hold a neutral position; this, however, only made him the common target for both factions, and he was persecuted accordingly. His losses were large. He had a fine farm of 320 acres, well improved, but it was stripped down to the bare land; and he had to dispose of his land to get bread. Through energy, perseverance and management, he has, in a great measure, recuperated; has given his sons 268 acres of land, and has now a well-improved place of 120 acres. Mr. Pate keeps well up with the times, and has been a reader of the St. Louis Republican for thirty-eight years. Page 824-825
Captain William S. Bates, farmer and joiner, P. O., Miami. Son of William S. and Huldah B. Bates, (nee Parrish), was born in Goochland county, Virginia, September 16, 1817, and at the age of seven years came with his father and family to Marion county, Missouri. Soon after their arrival in Marion county, the new county of Lewis was organized, and without any further move they found themselves located in Lewis county, where Capt. William was raised on a farm. The Indians (Sacs) were still numerous there at that day, and the Indian children were his daily companions. His education was obtained in the pioneer style, and he learned to speak the Indian language. At the age of eighteen he learned the trade of house joiner, and worked at it until 1848, combined with cabinet making, and had a farm southwest of LaGrange. In 1856 he moved to this county, and located on the farm where he has lived to the present time, engaged in farming. In April, 1845, he was married to Miss Mary E. Gash, daughter of Martin and Mary Gash, of Marion county, Missouri. She died July 26, 1872, leaving five children: Mrs. Mary R. Ish, William M., Henry M., Edward J., and Elizabeth H., all living, and two dead. In July, 1846, he fell from a scaffold and broke his left ankle, and as a consequence has never since been able to do much walking—cannot walk five consecutive miles. His father was well-to-do until he was broken up by having to pay a number of security debts. From his grandfather he received $862, and at his marriage his wife received $1,500, and by economy and industry he had accumulated a competency when the war broke out, which caused him heavy losses. His energy and push have again sustained him, however, and he has now a splendid farm of 235 acres (and fifty acres of timber), admirably improved. At the beginning of the war he was worth about $25,000. His great-grandfather, James Bates, came from New England to Virginia, and there married Mrs. Duncombe, and to them were born five sons. His grandfather, also James Bates, married Mahethalum Sergeant, to whom were born four sons and three daughters. His grand-mother’s name (mother’s side) was Massey, and he is descendant from two of the best families of Virginia. During the war he opposed secession, but was in sympathy with the south. Page 825-826
John G. Guthrey, capitalist, P. O., Miami. Was born in Cumberland county, Virginia, May 2, 1810, and is of German descent. He was mostly reared on a farm in Cumberland county, being educated in the country schools of the period, one of his teachers having formerly been private secretary of Gen. Andrew Jackson. At the age of nineteen he entered a country store as clerk, in Stony Point mills, serving an apprenticeship of five years. He then came to Missouri, and was in the west about five years, and visited Saline county in 1835 and ’36 during a western trip. He then settled down to merchandising in Petersburg, Virginia, where he dealt largely in tobacco and making money largely. During the visit to New York in 1861, after the battle of Bull Run, he was seized as a southern sympathizer and thrown into Fort Lafayette, and all his personal property, to the amount of $140,000 in bonds and currency taken from him. After six months in prison he was released for want of evidence, and immediately brought suit for his property, which he recovered. He then established a tobacco factory in Brooklyn, New York, which he carried on to the end of the war, and out of which he cleared about $100,000. He then entered a banker’s and brokers’ establishment on Wall street, New York, under the firm name of Harvey & Guthrey, which he aided in conducting until 1867, when he sold out to his partner. Having already invested about $100,000 in real estate in Saline county, in 1868, he removed with his family to Miami, where he has since resided, and which he has greatly aided in building up and improving. While doing business in Brooklyn he married Miss E. S. Hawkins, daughter of Joseph Hawkins, of Yonkers, New York, by whom he has a family of seven children. He is and has long been a member of the Episcopal Church, as are nearly all his family. Mr. Guthrey is of Scotch-Irish descent, and his ancestors came to America from the north of Ireland. He is president of the Miami Saving’s Bank, and is also a farmer. Two of his brothers, James and Daniel, are also residents of Saline county, and have been for many years.

Stephen George Gratzer
October 16, 1948 – November 17, 2023
Bedford – Stephen G. Gratzer, 75, of Beford, passed away on Friday, November 17, 2023, at I.U. Health Methodist Hospital.
Born October 16, 1948 in Bedford, he was the son of George and Anna Mae (Wray) Gratzer. He married Janice Brown, on March 8, 1975, and she survives. He retired as a golf course superintendent and from General Electric.
Steve’s first loves were family and the outdoors. His wife, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins were his pride and joy. Whether playing side by side or watching from the sidelines, he would be there for his brother, nephews, sons, or grandchildren. He had a passion for golf, fishing, mushroom hunting, and arrowhead hunting. Since a young age and throughout his life, the golf course was a focal point, working, playing, and cheering family and friends on. After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Agronomy, he helped build the Gary Works U.S. Steel Supervisors Club (now River Pointe Country Club) in Hobart, IN. Here he met Janice and the two were soon married. He moved back home to Bedford to be the greenskeeper at Otis Park before circling back to Hobart again on the course he helped build until 1993 when he moved back to Bedford to stay. He would decide he was done working on the course and started working at GE, until he had to retire early due to health issues. Though no longer working on the course, he was still out there every weekend and more. His grandkids had become the true focal point once they arrived. He loved big and had a sense of humor and smile that were contagious. Not one to stand around, he was always willing to jump in and help with anything. One thing people might not know, he was a great artist who could draw very well and loved woodworking. He went by many names, Steve, Weevie, dad, brother, Poppie, grampa, uncle, and friend.
Surviving with his wife Janice, are his two sons, Jamie Gratzer and wife Tessa of Bedford, Scott Gratzer and wife Lupita of Mitchell; nine grandchildren, Henry, Maggie, Sammie, Jasper, Tempe, Frankie, Stephen, Christopher, and Angie; his brother Donald R Gratzer and wife Tonya; sister-in-law Elizabeth Gratzer; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was proceeded in death by his parents, his brother Charlie Gratzer, and two sisters, Donna Hawkins and Betty Rose Brooking.
Cremation was chosen and he wished for no services. Family and friends may express condolences at www.daycarter.com.

Nancy Lynn Arena
Bedford – Nancy Lynn Arena, 75, of Bedford, passed away Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
Born May 27, 1948, in Bloomington, she was the daughter of John and Phyllis (Stillions) Jeskewich. She was a 1966 graduate of Bedford High School, and on October 23, 1966, she married Michael Dale Arena, with whom she shared 56 wonderful years until his passing earlier this year. Nancy was a beautiful soul in every sense of the word, and was one of the kindest, sweetest people you could ever meet. She was a devout Christian and a member of Southland Church of Christ. Nancy also loved to fish and play pinochle with her family and friends. In fact, on August 5, 2022, in what will go down as one of the most epic games in the history of three-handed pinochle, Nancy accomplished a one-in-a-million feat by pulling every trick (called a pinochle), much to the dismay of her husband and son.
Even though Nancy had several health issues throughout the years, and most recently had been grieving the deaths of her daughter and husband, she was grateful, resilient, sweet (well, most of the time), and to those who knew her best, she was the essence of strength. She will certainly leave an indelible mark on the hearts of her friends and family, all of whom loved her very much and will miss her every day forward.
Survivors include her brother, Mike Jeskewich and wife, Carla, of Bedford; her sister, Sally Meridith and husband, Roger, of Bloomington; her son, Sam Arena and wife, Azure, of Carmel; and her granddaughter, Alyson Arena, whom she loved dearly and spoiled every time she saw her. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Phyllis Jeskewich, her husband, Michael Arena, and her daughter, Mandy Arena.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 18th in the Elmwood Chapel of the Day & Carter Mortuary with Pastor Bud Smith officiating. Burial will follow in Green Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. until the hour of service on Saturday, at the Day & Carter Mortuary.

Full Circle Moment in Saipan
The Freedom Museum had a full circle moment recently. For people who have visited the Freedom Museum, they will remember Richard Bean from Brentsville who joined the Army and fought and died on the Japanese held island of Saipan in 1944. His remains were not found until 2013 when the Japanese nongovernmental agency, Kuentai went to Saipan to try to recover Japanese soldiers remains and return them to Japan. Jarae, a former Saipan resident and now Manassas, VA resident, contacted us to tell us he was the one to discover Bean when he was 12 years old on a family friend’s archeological dig. He was only 14 years old when he helped discover Richard Bean. In 2018, Jarae moved with his family from his tiny island to the town of Manassas.

Other Marine Aces
Although the colorful time of the Solomons Campaign, and the equally colorful men like Boyington and Hanson, were gone, other Leatherneck aviators achieved sizeable scores, and a measure of fame, if only within their operating areas and squadrons.
VMF-214's five-month tour of combat created eight aces, including Pappy Boyington. The Black Sheep accounted for 97 Japanese aircraft downed. VMF-215's tour lasted four-and-a-half months, and Bob Hanson and his squadron mates the squadron's roster included 10 aces destroyed 137 enemy aircraft, 106 in the last six weeks.
Besides Boyington, the Black Sheep alumnus who had one of the most interesting careers was John Bolt. Then-First Lieutenant Bolt shot down six aircraft in the Pacific. Ten years later, now-Major Bolt flew F-86s as an exchange pilot with the U.S. Air Force in Korea. During a three-month period, May-July 1953, he shot down six Russian-built MiG-15s, becoming the Marine Corps' first and only jet ace, and one of a very select number of pilots who became aces in two wars.
Maj Edward Overend, shown here in a Wildcat in San Diego in 1945, flew with the Flying Tigers, shooting down five Japanese aircraft, thus becoming one of the first American aces of the Pacific war, albeit under another country's colors. Maj Overend scored 3.5 kills while leading VMF-321, for a combined total of 8.5 victories in P-40Bs and F4U-1As. Department of Defense Photo (USMC) 47912
While Lieutenant Robert Hanson was the star of VMF-215 for a few short weeks, there were two captains who were just as busy. Donald N. Aldrich eventually scored 20 kills, while Harold L. Spears accounted for 15 Japanese planes. The two aces were among the senior flight leaders of VMF-215.
Don Aldrich had been turned down by recruiters before Pearl Harbor because he was married. Like many other eager young men of his generation, he went across the Canadian border and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in February 1941. He got his wings that November. But the RCAF put the new aviator to work as an instructor. When the U.S. entered the war, Aldrich had no trouble rejoining his countrymen, and eventually got his wings of gold as a Marine aviator, following which, he headed for the Solomons. From August 1943 to February 1944, in three combat tours, Captain Aldrich gained an impressive number of kills, 20. Although he survived the war, he died in an operational accident in 1947.
Harold Spears was commissioned a Marine second lieutenant and got his Marine commission and his wings in August 1942. He joined VMF-215 as the squadron wandered around the various forward bases near Bougainville. Spears wanted to make the service his career, and shortly after finishing his combat tour, during which he shot down 15 Japanese planes, he was assigned to El Toro, and eventually to a new fighter squadron, VMF-462.
One of the most successful but least known Marine Corsair aces was First Lieutenant Wilbur J. Thomas, whom Barrett Tillman called "one of the deadliest fighter pilots the Corps ever produced." He scored 18.5 kills while flying with VMF-213. Thomas' combat career is remarkable because he scored most of his kills in a one-month period during the hotly contested landings on Rendova and Vangunu islands in mid-1944.
After staying in the rear area of the New Hebrides, Thomas was finally transferred to the combat zone. He flew his first missions in June and July 1943. His mission on 30 June was a CAP mission over amphibious landings at Wickham Anchorage on the southern tip of New Georgia.

Fifteen Zeros pounced Thomas's fighters. After he had become separated from his group, seven Zeros had attacked the lone F4U, but, undeterred by the odds, Thomas turned into the Japanese, eventually shooting down four of them. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for this mission. Three weeks later, on 17 July, Thomas and his wingman attacked a group of Japanese bombers and their Zero escort, and shot down one of the bombers.
Thomas was on the receiving end of enemy fire on 23 September. After shooting down three Zeros, and splitting a fourth with his wingman, the young ace found he had taken hits in the oil lines. His engine seized and he glided toward the water, eventually bailing out at 3,000 feet. He scrambled into his rubber raft and waited for rescue. He paddled for five hours to keep from drifting to enemy positions. After 10 hours, a Consolidated Catalina flying boat (PBY) set down beside him and brought him home.
By the time VMF-213 left for the States in December, Wilbur Thomas had scored 16.5 kills in five dogfights. He returned for another combat tour, this time on board the carrier Essex (CV 9) headed for the South China Sea and Japanese bases in Southeast Asia. He added two more kills to his previous score when he took out two Zeros near Tokyo during Essex's first strike against the Japanese Home Islands on the afternoon of 16 February 1945.
Again, as did several of the young aces who managed to survive the war, now-Captain Thomas died in a postwar flying mishap in 1947.

By mid-1944, the war had moved on, past the Solomons and Bougainville. closer to Japan and into the final battles in the Philippines and on to Iwo Jima and Okinawa. There were still occasional encounters in these now-rear areas until the end of the war, and other Marine aviators became aces, but the end of the Solomons Campaign also saw the end of the hey day of the aces.
Fighter pilots and their missions sometimes fall into a nondescript category. By themselves, they rarely decide the outcome of major battles or campaigns, although exceptions might well be Guadalcanal and the Battle of Britain.
The Cactus fighters defended their base daily against enemy raids, and the Marine Corps aces were colorful. They established a tradition of dedication, courage, and skill for their successors in future generations of military aviators. It is 50 years since John Smith, Bob Galer, Marion Carl, Joe Foss, and Greg Boyington led their squadrons into the swirling dogfights over the Solomons. But the legacy these early Marine aces left to their modern successors lives on in a new era of advanced weapons and technology.

On an escort mission to Kahili on July 17, Jim Cupp tangled with some Zeros, and finding himself alone, he fell in with a group of returning bombers for protection. He caught up with them while they were playing cat-and-mouse in the clouds with two Zeros. Cupp took advantage of the situation and flamed one of the Zeros.
While on patrol over Vella Lavella on September 17, Cupp and his section intercepted a large group of Vals and Zeros. They took out a few Zeros before attacking the Vals. The dive bombers were old and slow that at first it was difficult for the Corsairs to get in a good burst before passing over them. It was a “pathetic battle”, as the Marines disintegrated the Vals about as fast as they could line them up. They had brought down several when they were jumped by four Zeros. Cupp was hit by a 20mm shell and he considered ditching, but happily discovered that his corsair responded well when he shoved the throttle forward, and he ran for home.
The next day, he took off on dawn patrol, to catch “Washing Machine Charlie,” the regular Japanese night-time nuisance bomber. Taking off at 0500, he spotted a Jap Betty in the distance. After a long chase, he caught up, and approached the plane from his supposedly unprotected belly. To Cupp’s astonishment, the bomb bay doors opened up, to reveal a cannon, which instantly hit him three times. His Corsair caught on fire; Cupp was badly burned, and forced to bail out. He was picked up by Americans, and spent the next 18 months in the hospital recovering from 14 operations. Jim Cupp had thirteen confirmed kills and was a local resident of Manassas before his death in 2008. See his picture and a model of his airplane at the Freedom Museum.

Background
The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an innate immune pathway of invertebrates such as nematodes, trypanosomes, hydra, planaria, and insects [1]. In mosquitoes, the RNAi pathway has been shown to act as an antiviral immune pathway that is able to effectively modulate the replication pattern of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) [2-6]. It has been postulated that RNAi functions as a gatekeeper in mosquitoes, modulating arbovirus replication to allow virus transmission but preventing virus concentrations that could lead to fitness costs and pathogenic effects [6]. Consequently, RNAi is potentially a major factor determining the vector competence of mosquitoes for arboviruses.
Sindbis virus (SINV; family: Togaviridae; genus: Alphavirus) is an arbovirus with a positive sense single-stranded RNA genome. A dsRNA intermediate is formed during replication, which triggers the RNAi pathway causing homology-dependent destruction of viral RNA [3]. Since SINV is able to establish persistent infections in the mosquito, the virus must have developed strategies to cope with the antiviral RNAi pathway in the insect host. Potential RNAi evasion strategies for alphaviruses are active suppression of the RNAi pathway and - similar to flaviviruses - sequestration of the dsRNA replicative intermediate within cellular membrane structures [7]. Under natural conditions, SINV circulates between Culex sp. and birds with humans acting as dead end hosts [8]. However, in the laboratory the virus is transmissible by the well characterized mosquito vector Aedes aegypti, prompting researchers to use the SINV-Ae. aegypti combination as a model to study arbovirus-mosquito interactions at the molecular level. After ingestion of a viremic bloodmeal by a competent mosquito, SINV enters midgut epithelial cells and begins replicating [9]. From the midgut the virus disseminates to secondary tissues such as muscles surrounding the alimentary tract, fat body, hemocytes, nerve tissue, and finally salivary glands. Once SINV enters the saliva, the virus has completed its extrinsic incubation period and the mosquito is able to transmit the virus to a new host [9]. The TR339 strain of SINV is based on a consensus sequence derived from the type strain AR339 that has been isolated in Egypt [10-12]. For this study, we used a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the virus with the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) marker gene inserted downstream of a second subgenomic promoter [3]. After ingestion by females of the Ae. aegypti RexD strain, SINV-TR339 has been shown to encounter an escape barrier in the midgut (MEB); whereas reported midgut infection rates were >90%, dissemination rates only reached 40% [9,13].
Midgut infection barrier (MIB) and/or MEB have been observed for a number of other alphaviruses and for flaviviruses [14,15]. MIB prevents ingested arboviruses from entering and replicating in mesenteronal (midgut) cells, whereas MEB prevents virions from escaping from the basal lamina of midgut cells and disseminating to other tissues in the hemocoel. Often these barriers depend on the amount of virus ingested by the mosquito because the virus has to reach a certain threshold to either establish an infection in the midgut or to disseminate to other tissues [9,14-16]. Furthermore, dose-independent MIB or MEB have been reported, implying an incompatibility between arbovirus and vector at the midgut level, thus preventing arboviruses from entering or exiting the epithelial cells [13,17-20]. Until now, the molecular nature of MIB and MEB, which appears to depend on specific virus-mosquito strain combinations, is not well understood. However, recent correlation analysis of RNAi pathway genes with MIB and MEB combined with linkage mapping of Aa-dcr2, Aa-r2d2, and Aa-ago2 genes in the genome of Ae. aegypti suggests that MIB and MEB for dengue virus could be RNAi associated phenomena [21].
To investigate the nature of MIB and MEB for SINV-TR339EGFP in Ae. aegypti, we impaired the RNAi pathway in the mosquito midgut at a time point when the ingested virus is replicating in cells of the midgut epithelium. We expected that impairment of the RNAi pathway in the midgut of Ae. aegypti would allow the virus to overcome potential MIB and/or MEB and to increase its overall titer in the insect. We chose a transgenic approach to impair the RNAi pathway in the midgut of Ae. aegypti by generating mosquitoes expressing an inverted-repeat (IR) RNA derived from the RNAi pathway gene Aa-dcr2 under control of the bloodmeal inducible, midgut-specific Ae. aegypti carboxypeptidase A (AeCPA) promoter [22-25]. According to our strategy the midgut-specific IR effector would produce dsRNA in bloodfed females, triggering RNAi against Aa-dcr2 and eventually causing depletion of dicer2 protein in the midgut. This would cause impairment of the RNAi pathway in this tissue. Previously, it has been demonstrated that homology-dependent silencing of dcr2 can impair the RNAi mechanism in insect cells and in Ae. aegypti [26-28].
The objectives of this study are to generate transgenic Ae. aegypti mosquitoes with an impaired RNAi pathway in midgut tissue after ingestion of a bloodmeal, to assess vector competence of the transgenic mosquitoes for SINV-TR339EGFP with respect to possible effects on MIB and MEB, and to evaluate if midgut-specific impairment of the RNAi pathway reduces the survival rate of SINV-infected mosquitoes.
Results
Generation of transgenic Ae. aegypti expressing an IR RNA targeting Aa-dcr2 mRNA
We designed a donor plasmid based on the Mariner Mos1 transposable element (TE) containing an Aa-dcr2 IR expression cassette under control of the bloodmeal inducible, midgut-specific AeCPA promoter (Fig. ). The donor plasmid was co-injected with a helper plasmid expressing the Mos1 transposase [29] into 1780 pre-blastoderm embryos of the Ae. aegypti HWE strain. The survival rate was 10.3%. After outcrossing to the HWE recipient strain, 115 G0 families were established and their offspring (G1) were screened for eye-specific EGFP expression. We selected 10 different mosquito families that produced transgenic offspring, Carb/dcr16, 29, 44, 54, 69, 79, 113, 125, 126, and 146.
Levels of Aa-dcr2 silencing among the transgenic Ae. aegypti lines
As an initial molecular characterization we analyzed Aa-dcr2 mRNA expression in midguts of nine of the 10 transgenic lines after bloodfeeding by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). Line Carb/dcr69 was eventually lost during mosquito rearing. One week post-emergence females of the nine lines were bloodfed on mice. Relative Aa-dcr2 mRNA accumulation was reduced by >50% in mosquito midguts of lines Carb/dcr16 and Carb/dcr44 at day 1 post-bloodmeal (pbm) as compared to sugarfed control mosquitoes (Fig. ). For lines Carb/dcr54, 125, 79, and 29, relative levels of Aa-dcr2 mRNA reduction were between 10-45%. On the contrary, for lines Carb/dcr126, 146, and the non-transgenic HWE control relative Aa-dcr2 mRNA levels were increased in mosquito midguts. Based on the Aa-dcr2 mRNA expression profile of Carb/dcr16 females, we selected this line for further vector competence studies with SINV-TR339EGFP.
Characterization of the transgene integration site in Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes
The transgene integration site in the genome of Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes was defined by Genome Walking. We confirmed the stable integration of the Mos1 based transgene into the genome of HWE mosquitoes by the fact that DNA sequences flanking the left and right arms of the TE were continuous (Fig. ). The TE integration site is in a non-protein encoding region at nucleotide position 858,262 of contig 503, supercontig 1.6. Absence of any other sequences from the Genome Walking libraries strongly suggests that integration of the TE occurred as a single copy.
Phenotypic analysis of SINV-TR339EGFP
The 720 base-pair coding sequence of the EGFP gene was inserted into a recombinant cDNA clone of SINV-TR339. The marker gene was placed under control of the engineered, duplicated subgenomic promoter that was located upstream of the sequence encoding the viral structural genes. Growth curve analysis of SINV-TR339EGFP in Vero cells revealed an increase in virus titer from 1 × 106 to 4 × 107 pfu/ml between 15 and 38 h post-infection (multiplicity of infection: 0.01). Then the titer gradually decreased to 2 × 106 at 65 h post-infection. The pattern of the growth curve was similar to that observed for the TR339 strain of SINV lacking a duplicated subgenomic promoter [13]. Furthermore, strong EGFP expression was observed among the cells at 38 h post-infection. However, in SINV-TR339EGFP infected tissue such as the mosquito midgut, EGFP expression was often rather low even though virus titers proved to be relatively high (data not shown). This observed discrepancy between viral marker gene expression and actual titers prompted us in the following experiments to base SINV-TR339EGFP detection in mosquitoes on intensity of infection rather than visualization of EGFP expression.
Evaluation of transgene expression and Aa-dcr2 mRNA levels in midguts of Carb/dcr16 females
Detection of a single RNA band corresponding to a size of ~500 nt by Northern blot analysis showed that Aa-dcr2 derived IR RNA was transcribed in midguts of Carb/dcr16 females 18-30 h after receiving a non-infectious bloodmeal (Fig. ). A similar signal was not detected at a later time point or in midguts of sugarfed Carb/dcr16 females and in the HWE control. This temporal and spatial expression pattern was in agreement with those observed for other transgenes controlled by the AeCPA promoter [23,24]. Hybridization signal intensities for Aa-dcr2 mRNA among midgut RNA of bloodfed Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes were considerably weaker at 18-72 h pbm compared to those of bloodfed HWE at similar time points (Fig. ). This indicates silencing of the RNAi pathway gene in midguts of the bloodfed transgenic mosquitoes. In addition, we assessed the Aa-dcr2 mRNA expression profile for Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes during one week by qRT-PCR. Aa-dcr2 expression in midguts of bloodfed females followed a wave-like pattern with lowest expression in the transgenic line at days 1, 3 and 4 pbm and maximal expression at day 2 pbm (Fig. ). Accumulation of Aa-dcr2 mRNA was reduced in midguts of Carb/dcr16 females as compared to the HWE control with the exception of day 7 pbm, a time point when the transgene was no longer expressed. We observed that Aa-dcr2 expression profiles were generally less elevated in Carb/dcr16 and HWE mosquitoes that had received an artificial bloodmeal containing defibrinated sheep blood than in mosquitoes that had been allowed to feed on mice (data not shown). After ingestion of a bloodmeal containing SINV-TR339EGFP (titer in the bloodmeal: 2.2 × 107 pfu/ml), Aa-dcr2 mRNA levels in midguts of Carb/dcr16 and HWE followed a similar wave-like pattern. Aa-dcr2 mRNA accumulation was substantially increased in Carb/dcr16 and HWE mosquitoes during the one week observation even though the overall level of Aa-dcr2 mRNA was still lower in the transgenic females than in HWE. This suggests that replicating SINV-TR339EGFP has triggered the RNAi pathway in the mosquito midgut.
Effects of Aa-dcr2 silencing in the midgut of Carb/dcr16 females on intensity of SINV-TR339EGFP infection, infection rate, and dissemination in an initial experiment
To test whether midgut-specific silencing of Aa-dcr2 affects the vector competence for SINV-TR339EGFP, infection intensities and virus infection and dissemination rates were evaluated in Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes. In an initial experiment (virus titer in the bloodmeal: 1.8 × 107 pfu/ml), midgut infection rate and intensity of virus infection were significantly higher in Carb/dcr16 than in HWE mosquitoes at 7 days pbm (Fig. ). We observed that 21/30 Carb/dcr16 females were infected with a ~1300-fold higher mean virus titer than the HWE control. In contrast, only 2/30 HWE mosquitoes had measurable virus infection in their midguts. Accordingly, 53% of the remaining mosquito bodies of Carb/dcr16 females were infected with SINV at 7 days pbm, whereas no HWE carcasses showed any detectable infection. This indicates that midgut infection rate and intensity affect the dissemination potential of the virus to secondary tissues. However, at 14 days pbm the overall SINV infection patterns of Carb/dcr16 females were no longer significantly different from those of the HWE control. These results suggest that SINV-TR339EGFP encountered MIB and MEB in HWE mosquitoes at 7 days pbm, whereas in the RNAi-impaired Carb/dcr16 females these barriers were not evident.
Effects of Aa-dcr2 silencing in the midgut of Carb/dcr16 females on mean intensities of SINV-TR339EGFP infection, infection and dissemination rates
To confirm this observation, we repeated the experiment three more times and assessed mean intensity of SINV infection and midgut infection rates. To reveal mean midgut dissemination rates for the virus, two additional replicates of the experiment were analyzed. SINV-TR339EGFP titers in the bloodmeals ranged from 1.7-2.7 × 107 pfu/ml. The mean intensity of virus infection in midguts of Carb/dcr16 females (14,000 pfu/ml) was >8-fold higher than in the control at 7 days pbm, which was highly significant (Fig. ). Similarly, in the remaining mosquito bodies the difference between HWE and Carb/dcr16 females was statistically significant. In contrast, mean intensities of SINV-TR339EGFP infection did not differ significantly between the transgenic strain and the HWE control at 14 days pbm. At this time point however, virus titers were reduced by 83% in midguts of Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes as compared to seven days earlier. This effect was observed only in the RNAi-impaired Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes. Since SINV titers of carcasses were not increased at 14 days pbm as compared to 7 days pbm, we assume that reduction in the intensity of virus infection in midguts was not caused by virus dissemination to secondary tissues.
The mean midgut infection rate with SINV-TR339EGFP was significantly higher among Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes (69%) than among the HWE control (33%) at 7 days pbm (Fig. ). As the standard error in Fig. predicts, midgut infection rates of the HWE mosquitoes had a relatively high variability between experiments. Clearly, in the RNAi-impaired Carb/dcr16 females the midgut infection rates did not fluctuate as strongly. This suggests that HWE responded more sensitively to changes in virus dose present in bloodmeals of different challenge experiments. At 7 days pbm the mean infection rate of the carcasses was significantly lower among HWE than among Carb/dcr16 females. At 14 days pbm mean midgut and carcass infection rates no longer differed significantly between both mosquito strains. In Carb/dcr16 females mean infection rates were decreased by 20% at 14 days pbm compared to those at 7 days pbm even though in HWE they were increased by ~20% (Fig. ). This is in accordance with the data obtained from the analysis of midgut infection intensity (Fig. ), showing that in the transgenic mosquitoes SINV was diminished in midguts after 7 days pbm.
When comparing the mean dissemination rates of SINV-TR339EGFP between HWE and Carb/dcr16, we only considered mosquitoes having infections in both midgut and carcass at 7 or 14 days pbm. In both mosquito strains, virus dissemination rates followed a pattern similar to the midgut infection rates at 7 days pbm (Fig. ). Differences were not statistically significant between Carb/dcr16 and HWE mosquitoes even though dissemination rates were about twice as high in Carb/dcr16 females (60%) at 7 days pbm. The lack of statistical significance could be due to the smaller sample sizes available for this experiment. However, our data suggest that dissemination rates for SINV-TR339EGFP are dependent on the virus dose ingested by the mosquito.
Survival rates of Carb/dcr16 females after infection with SINV-TR339EGFP
We evaluated the effect of midgut-specific impairment of the RNAi pathway on the longevity of mosquitoes once they were infected with SINV-TR339EGFP. So far our data have shown that at 7 days pbm the RNAi pathway-impaired mosquitoes contained higher doses of the virus than the HWE control. We monitored the survival rate of mosquitoes for four weeks after bloodfeeding. Bloodfeeding appeared to have a beneficial effect for both Carb/dcr16 and HWE females since 50% of the insects were still alive at day 25 pbm whereas of the sugarfed control only 20% were alive at the same time point (Fig. ). When both mosquito strains were infected with SINV-TR339EGFP (titer in the bloodmeal: 2.7 × 107 pfu/ml), their longevity was not affected in comparison to non-infected, bloodfed mosquitoes. The survival curves looked similar for Carb/dcr16 and HWE females, indicating that SINV infection did not cause an obvious fitness cost in the RNAi-impaired mosquitoes.
Discussion
This study demonstrates for the first time a transgenic approach to impair the endogenous RNAi pathway in midgut tissue of Ae. aegypti. Following the principle of activating the RNAi pathway in specific tissues during digestion of a bloodmeal [24,25,30], we generated mosquitoes expressing an Aa-dcr2 targeting IR RNA in the midgut to trigger the RNAi pathway against itself. Thus, we developed a novel tool to study arbovirus-mosquito interactions at the molecular level. With current genetic tools it is not possible to generate a stable gene-knockout mutant of Ae. aegypti via homologous recombination (A.W.E. Franz, N. Jasinskiene, M.R. Smith, K.E. Olson and A.A. James, unpublished results). In addition, although intrathoracic injection of dsRNA has been shown to be sufficient to manipulate the RNAi pathway in mosquitoes [2,3,6,24,25] the strategy presented here bears several advantages. 1) Injuries caused by intrathoracic injection of dsRNAs are eliminated, preventing non-specific triggering of other immune pathways and/or reduced longevity of the insect. 2) Off-target effects caused by high doses of injected dsRNAs dispersed throughout the mosquito body are avoided. 3) Precise temporal and spatial gene targeting is ensured.
Aa-dcr2 acts at the beginning of the initiation phase of the siRNAi pathway by cleaving long dsRNA molecules into ~21 bp duplexes. With the support of Aa-r2d2 these siRNA duplexes are inserted into the RISC complex [31]. When silencing Aa-dcr2 using an IR RNA with sequence homology, we expected Aa-dcr2 mRNA levels in the cell to diminish over time, which would result in depletion of dicer2 protein. Eventually, there would be insufficient dicer2 enzyme available to maintain the RNAi pathway in a functional state. Based on the pattern of AeCPA promoter-based expression, impairing of the RNAi pathway was supposed to last for only 36 h during digestion of the bloodmeal in the midgut. Before the onset of Aa-dcr2 mRNA silencing in midgut cells of Carb/dcr16 females, most likely there were sufficient quantities of dicer2 protein synthesized, which could turn the RNAi mechanism against itself. Possibly during the entire 36 h period of RNAi silencing certain quantities of functional dicer2 prevailed in the midgut cells so that the pathway was compromised in its efficiency and capacity but never completely shut off. Similar lack of complete inhibition of RNAi was observed before when transiently silencing dcr2 in Drosophila S2 cells [27]. This could explain the pattern of the Aa-dcr2 mRNA expression profiles in Carb/dcr16 females, where the efficiency of Aa-dcr2 mRNA silencing fluctuated over time but its expression was never eliminated. Moreover, infection with SINV resulted in increased Aa-dcr2 mRNA accumulation in Carb/dcr16 females, showing that the midgut epithelial cells were still able to mobilize additional dicer2 protein, even though the pathway was impaired in the midgut tissue. Increase in Aa-dcr2 mRNA accumulation confirms earlier findings that the TR339 strain of SINV triggers the RNAi pathway in Ae. aegypti [3]. However, no mechanism for Aa-dcr2 induction has been described so far. We have no clear explanation as to why at 2 days pbm Aa-dcr2 mRNA levels were increased in both HWE and Carb/dcr16 females. We observed that levels of transgenic Aa-dcr2 silencing varied considerably between the different transgenic mosquito lines that were initially tested. This could be caused by corresponding variations in Aa-dcr2 IR RNA expression levels. Based on previous observations with transgenic mosquitoes expressing a marker gene in midgut tissue (A.W.E. Franz, K.E. Olson, A.A. James, unpublished results), the TE integration site in the genome of the mosquito can strongly affect gene-of-interest expression levels.
Even though maximal silencing of Aa-dcr2 in midguts of SINV-TR339EGFP infected Carb/dcr16 females appeared to be no more than ~50%, it had profound effects on intensity of infection, midgut infection and dissemination rates of the virus at 7 days pbm. Average virus titers in midguts increased from 1750 pfu/ml in HWE to 14,000 pfu/ml in Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes. Accordingly, midgut infection rates increased from 33% (HWE) to 69% (Carb/dcr16) and virus dissemination rates from 30% (HWE) to 60% (Carb/dcr16). These data suggest that the RNAi pathway in the mosquito midgut tightly controls SINV infection by modulating its replication. Thus, MIB and MEB for SINV-TR339EGFP in Ae. aegypti were virus dose-dependent and in this way affected by the RNAi pathway. Whereas a virus dose-dependent MEB has been reported for the TR339 strain of SINV, no MIB has been observed for this virus [9,13]. Despite the fact that the authors used another mosquito strain in their studies, they also used a non-EGFP expressing virus and higher virus concentrations in their bloodmeals, ranging from 108-109 pfu/ml. In our study the virus concentrations in bloodmeals ranged from 1.7-2.7 × 107 pfu/ml. In the presence of a functional RNAi mechanism as in HWE mosquitoes, the lower virus concentration in the bloodmeal was probably approaching the threshold for midgut infection. In the RNAi pathway impaired Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes however, this virus concentration was sufficient to cause productive midgut infections.
Between 7 and 14 days pbm a strong reduction of virus infection intensity was observed in midguts of Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes, causing a decrease in average SINV titers from 14,000 to 2400 pfu/ml. Such strong reduction of virus infection intensity was not observed in the RNAi pathway competent HWE control. After 7 days pbm the RNAi pathway in Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes was no longer compromised as it was during virus acquisition. It appears that the RNAi mechanism, when functional, down-regulated the unusually high SINV concentration in midguts of the transgenic mosquitoes to levels similar to those of the HWE control. This strongly suggests that the task of the RNAi pathway in the mosquito midgut is to keep arbovirus replication at a level that can be tolerated by the mosquito. Modulation of arbovirus infections in mosquitoes has been reported for several virus-vector combinations and research of the last few years eventually confirmed that the RNAi pathway of the mosquito is a major driving force behind this modulation [2,3,6,14,16,32]. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate that other innate immune pathways, such as JAK-STAT and/or Toll also contribute to the modulation of arbovirus infections in insects [33-37].
Since a proposed role for the RNAi pathway in mosquitoes is to protect the insect from pathogenic effects of replicating arboviruses [4-6], we investigated whether SINV-TR339EGFP causes such effects in HWE or Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes. Our survival curve data indicate that the initial increase in virus titer in Carb/dcr16 females did not cause obvious pathogenic effects. It needs to be pointed out that after 7 days pbm the RNAi pathway was no longer impaired in midguts of Carb/dcr16 mosquitoes and the intensity of infection was strongly modulated. Thus, the RNAi pathway activation in the transgenic mosquito line could have been similar to that in the control for the latter 21 days of the survival study. Our observations confirm those by Campbell and co-workers [3] that transient silencing of the RNAi pathway in Ae. aegypti did not affect longevity of the mosquitoes for seven days after infection with SINV. However, several authors have described pathological effects caused by alphaviruses in mosquito midguts and salivary glands, claiming that these effects could be virus dose-dependent [38-41]. Moreover, systemic expression of a potent RNAi pathway suppressor via a recombinant SINV severely reduced the survival rate of mosquitoes [4,5]. Thus, it might be necessary to knockout the RNAi pathway in the insect to reveal long-term effects of a compromised, antiviral immune pathway on mosquito fitness.

151st New York Infantry Regiment's Civil War Newspaper Clippings
DESERTER ARRESTED.—Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Cochrane, of Orleans county, came to this city having in custody William Watson, a deserter from the 151st regiment.—Officer Cochrane had been looking for Watson a long time, and on Sunday evening he was advised that the latter had gone west from Albion on a boat. He started in pursuit, overhauled and arrested his man at Brockport. He lodged his prisoner in jail here to be sent forward with the next squad of deserters.
Death of James Pomeroy.
JAMES B POMEROY, Son of Heman Pomeroy, of this Village, died on the 12th of Aug. 1863, in the Army Hospital, near Culpepper, in Virginia. He was 23 years and six months old, was a Sergeant in company C of the 151st
Regiment of N. Y. Volunteers, James H. McManis being Captain of the same company. Mr. Pomeroy had been unwell since the 25th of July last, but kept with his company till it reached its present location, when, seven days before his death, he went into the Government hospital which is in the open field.
Capt. McManis writes that he was a good man and brave soldier. To the bereaved family it will be a consolation to know that he performed his duty and died in a noble cause.
FROM THE 151ST,—Col. Emerson and Lieut. Williams, of the 151st, reached home on Friday night, where they were gladly welcomed by their many friends. They are sent to receive and forward drafted men, and will make their headquarters for the present at Buffalo.
Col. Emerson is in feeble health, having been quite unwell for about three weeks.—Up to that time his health was capital. We hope that a few days of the comforts of home life will restore him to his usual good health.
Lieut. Williams reports himself in good condition; and his looks do not belie his report. For most of the time since last fall, owing the illness of his superior officers, he has had command of his company, and we are glad to know that he is esteemed one of the most reliable and efficient officers in the regiment.
HABEAS CORPUS.--Yesterday morning a boy named William Wallace Watson, was taken be fore Com. Storrs upon a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Hall, of Buffalo. Watson enlisted in the 151st N. T. V., at Albion, and afterwards deserted. It is claimed by his friends that he never was regularly enlisted, hence the writ. The hearing was put over to the 26th.
— Col. Wm. Emerson, of the 151st Regiment, was in town yesterday. He has been detailed to Elmira, on service connected with the draft. He left his Regiment at Warrenton, Va.
ORDERED TO BUFFALO.—Orderly Sergeant E. E. Russell, of Capt. Coleman's company, arrived here Saturday and was warmly welcomed by his numerous friends. He with others from the 151st and other regiments are ordered to report at Buffalo for the purpose—as we learn—of taking charge of drafted men and escorting them to the commands to which they may be assigned. The Sergeant looks every inch a soldier. He reports the boys from this place in good health. The 151st now belongs to the 3d Division of the 3d Army Corps and was below Warrenton when he left about a week ago.
THE 151st.--This regiment is now encamped about 50 mile south of Washington, about two miles from the Rappahannock, near Peeltown.
THE NEW DUTCHESS COUNTY REGIMENT.
POUGHKEEPSIE, Tuesday, Aug. 26.
At a meeting of the War Committee, to-day, Hon. J. H. KETCHUM was unanimously elected Colonel of the new Dutchess County regiment.
Letter From the 151st Regiment.
CAMP NEAR BOONSBORO, Md.
July 7th, 1863.
EDITORS AMERICAN:—I have a few spare moments and will send you a short description of the fight which our cavalry had at Hagerstown last night. Gen. Kilpatrick sent the 18th Pa. ahead, and just as they entered the town they met a concentrated fire of musketry which compelled them to retire. Being unsupported by infantry and the rebel force being superior to our own, it was found necessary for our boys to get out of a bad scrape as best they could. The whole of Kilpatrick's brigade was surrounded, and affairs were getting rough, when the men were ordered to cut their way out, which they effected, but not without great loss. Gen. Buford gave the rebs a taste of his quality by burning one of their wagon trains seven miles long. The smoke was plainly discernible from our camp, as the train was only three miles distant from us. Scouts report the rebels as crossing the Potomac at Williamsport. Yesterday Gen. Buford hung a spy by the name of Richardson that he had captured the day before. The execution took place near Frederick City.—The day before one of our pickets observed a man writing on horseback near where he was stationed, and challenged him. The literary gentleman put up his writing materials in double-quick time and attempted to escape, but our cavalry soon overtook him. When examined, he was found to possess accurately drawn plans, diagrams, and positions of our forces, in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, Frederick and Monocacy. He had passes signed by very many Union commanders, and others signed by Lee and Ewell. When he visited the camp of the 151st, at Maryland Hights, he passed himself off as a map peddler. His peddling is done! all honor to Gen. Buford. Three others were to have suffered a like fate, at Frederick, yesterday. I have not heard whether they were hung or not. Buford's cavalry passed our camp yesterday, A. M. Among the many familiar faces, I observed that of Chas. Brignell of the 1st Michigan Cavalry, formerly Barre. Charley says he has seen "right smart" of war. He has been in forty-eight skirmishes and five general engagements. His sabre was blood-stained, which was proof of its having been used to some purpose. He says the battle at Gettysburg was the most desperate that he has seen. The rebs, he says, suffered a very much greater loss in killed and wounded than our forces. Morris' brigade, to which we belong, is stationed at South Mountain, on identical field where the battle was fought last September. Our regiment is thrown out as the advanced line of infantry pickets. To-day the enemy are reported only eight miles distant, at Funkstown. Whether they will attempt to break through our lines at this place, is very doubtful. Let them come if they wish. We are pre- pared to give them a hot reception.— Co. D. in good spirits and spoiling for a fight. Capt. Hallock and Lieut. Oaks are on the sick list, and Lieut. Williams commands the company with great ability. My time is up, and I must throw down pen and put on the weapons of war.
Respectfully yours C. H. M.
From the 151st Regiment.
Correspondence of the Democrat & American.
ON PICKET, ON THE BANKS OF THE RAPPAHANNOCK,
Aug. 4, 1863.
We have received a letter inquiring why we did not communicate to the DEMOCRAT and let the friends of the 151st know where we were, what doing, &c. It stated there were letters from the 108th, 140th, old 105th, &c. but none from the 151st. Although only one company came from Monroe County, yet nearly all interested friends probably have access to the D. & A., owing to its extensive circulation in the three northwestern counties. Recently there has been little opportunity for writing, but as poor at the best, and consequently anxious relatives do not hear as often as they otherwise would.
The regiment has been in the service nearly a year, and in the field since April; and has ever been ready for whatever services it has been called upon to render, and has done honor to a good name and laid the foundations of a fine and high reputation, Its bravery and courage have not been tested by participating in an actual battle, although it has been in close proximity to a few. There need be no fear, for these traits are plainly evinced in every feature. Some lucky fate has kept it from the one main reality of a soldier, although it has ever been ready and sometimes anxious--and often expected battles. Old officers affirm that this division or corps has experienced as hard service as troops ever do. We have been in the Potomac army during this last campaign, and in the hard long marches have cheerfully endured much fatigue.
Camp is back about a mile from the river, but to-day the whole regiment is out on picket along the river. It is raining, and you will please make allowances for soiled paper. This is the section of country opposite Culpepper Co. We are in the vicinity of Sulphur Springs, and a few miles distant from Warrenton.
The health of the men is generally good and its numbers yet good in consideration of the same when it came out. Of course some have fallen out sick by the way, but are usually taken to General U. S. Hospitals. We belong to the 3d corps, and all letters intended for the regiment should be addressed to Washington, D. C.
What the future operations of this army are to be, few know—it remains to be seen. It certainly is hoped that a decisive blow will be struck to Lee's army, and the far famed Army of the Potomac yet be transcendent in renown and glory. This is what it deserves, for there can be no better army. Severe cannonading and musketry are going on near here.—The reports come from a southerly direction.
Rumors have come of another New York mob being attempted. If it is so we hope that her streets will run with blood, till the mention of the affair, for years to come, will create a shudder. May the authorities do their duty if thousands are slain. It will be a blessing for the altogether too riotous New York, a city whose copperhead, anti-religion, anti-temperance traitors are disgracing our country and humanity.
Very truly, &c., HOLLEY.

THE 151ST REGIMENT.—A letter from First Serg't. Mattison, of Co. D, 151st Regiment, informs us that the regiment has changed its base of operations; and on June 11th was located at Point of Rocks, Maryland. Our correspondent also gives an account of a mutiny in a Maryland company, who refused to march over into Virginia when ordered. Col. Emerson is reported to have given three or four of the mutineers telling evidence of his physical powers. Six companies of the 151st were ordered out to assist in putting down the rebellion, "which they did in double quick time." The 151st were doing picket duty on a line of several miles. The rebels were soon expected to cross the Potomac.--Roch. Dem.
FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
HEADQUARTERS 151ST REG'T N. Y. S. CVolunteers,
CAMP BOWEN, BUCKHANNON, WESTERN, VA.
May 19, 1863.
This is a town of about five hundred inhabitants, and the county seat of Upsher county. Our regiment arrived here day before yesterday, and encamped in an orchard upon a small knoll near the town. There is a battalion of cavalry here, which, together with the 151st Regiment, constitutes the entire force in the place. Col. Emerson is acting Brigadier General and Military Governor of this place at present, and Lieut. Col. Bowen commands our regiment. I intended to write you from Clarksburg, but had no opportunity. From the latter place we marched to Weston, a distance of twenty-three miles southwest of Clarksburg, our regiment having moved from the latter place on the Monday previous. We arrived at Weston on Sunday morning, and found that the 151st had moved from this place for Buckhannon the day before, a distance of sixteen miles southeast of Weston. This was an unpleasant prospect indeed, for our blistered feet and stiffened limbs. We had been since Wednesday night trying to reach the brave New Yorkers; had slept two nights upon the damp ground, rolled up in Uncle Sam's blankets, with no other shelter but the azure sky above. But reach the camp of the gallant 151st we must, and a spirit of enterprise made us forget our afflicted feet, and we were soon upon the road, bound for Buckhannon. After a rapid march of nine miles over the worst road I ever saw, one of the horses attached to our baggage wagon gave out and again we put up for the night—another chance to repose my wearied limbs upon the sacred soil of Virginia.
While in Baltimore, I often thought the Government foolish to furnish four and oftentimes six horses to an army wagon; but when I saw the condition of the roads in Virginia, I at once saw the propriety of it. You are aware that Northerners are continually croaking because our forces do not move, and when they do go forward complain that they move too slow. To such people, a two weeks' march as the rear guard to an army train, over a road in the Old Dominion, would effect a lasting cure. They would say less as they learned more of war, I reckon.
At Janelew, a small hamlet about half way between Clarksburg and Weston, we learned that the rebels under Imboden, Jones and Jankins robed a citizen of Lewis county of cattle and horses worth over ten thousand dollars. They seemed to be after plunder, and not "spilin' for a fight."
While here, we called at a humble dwelling for the purpose of buying some provisions, and to our surprise found the inmates to be blood relations of Stonewall Jackson. They were an aunt and two cousins of the deceased General. From them I learned that Thomas Jonathan Jackson (Stonewall's real name) was born at Clarksburg, Harrison county, Va., and, being a poor boy, at an early age went to live with an uncle in Lewis county, near the village of Weston. He remained there until he was sent to West Point Military Academy, to complete his education. After he graduated at that institution, he was, until the breaking out of the rebellion, in the service of his country. I was shown letters written by him when commanding Fort Mede, Florida, and others written at various places. All are quite religious in their tone, and are set forth in an easy and graceful manner. His relatives are Unionists, and regret that he died while serving so mean a cause; but at the same time they believe that he was a great and good man, though sadly misguided in fighting for Jeff. Davis.
To-day we are encamped in Pan Orchard, a pleasant location and furnishing a grateful shade. This place was disgracefully abandoned by the Union forces under Brig. Gen. Roberts, two weeks since. We had four thousand troops here, consisting of artillery, cavalry and infantry, and held positions of great natural strength, supported by batteries. When the rebs came on, Gen. Roberts was suddenly seized by an extraordinary fit of discretion, which he manifested in a most dastardly retreat. He destroyed bridges, camps, and ordnance stores, in all worth about two hundred thousand dollars.—The rebs took to their heels as soon as they saw that our forces were moving--probably supposing that he (Roberts) was moving upon them; but soon regained their senses, and after destroying their cannon and ammunition marched upon this town, and plundered it of everything valuable that they desired. Citizens declare that our force here was sufficient to have whipped the whole rebel horde. The rebs were but half armed, and without ammunition. It is time that we have a commander who will fight, and not attempt to show their military ability in "successful retreats." The raiders secured five thousand head of cattle and two hundred horses, and now are reported to be falling back to the mountains, or to some other safe place. It makes no difference where they go. While we are under Gen. Roberts we shall not be allowed to follow them, or attempt their capture.
This is soldiering indeed. We have shelter tents, frosty nights, hard tack, "salt horse," and all the delicacies incident to camp life in the field, and yet are anxious to chase the rascally secesh. I reckon this kind of life would make a Mark Tapley intensely jolly. When something more turns up, of importance, I will write again. Yours truly, C. H. M., Company D.
FROM THE ARMY.
CAMP NEAR CULPEPPER, VA.,
Nov. 20th, 1863.
MESSRS. EDITORS:--It is from this place that we last addressed you: since that time there has been a fine skedaddle up to Manassas and a glorious, though less hasty, advance in returning. The Federal army is here again much sooner than the Gray Backs, and even loyalists expected. General Meade's style is to do things sooner than anticipated. The journey as usual, has been varied with hardships and pleasure, sunshine and rain, heat and cold, slow marching and fast marching, cross-marching and counter-marching. The last move of this Brigade was from Brandy Station. Darkness and a heavy rain overtook us, the lightning was blinding and the thunder deafening. Such a scene, as occurred cannot be imagined but known only by experience. The officers, soldiers, servants, mules, horses, niggers and wagons of all the three Regiments were promiscuously conglomerated and endeavoring to paddle through the mud and swollen streams, of which there were more than a dozen over knee deep.
The 151st has not yet been directly in an engagement but it has not been for want of good will, for it has been drawn up in line of battle times innumerable right in the face of the enemy, but somehow the wiley foe always ran. Our Regiment ought to be grateful to its Supreme Ruler; for it has been signally protected and prospered. The 2d Brigade had a night engagement on the advance to Brandy Station, and the 1st were in supporting distance. The first Division did the work at Kelly's Ford but the 3d were near by. We were under fire at McLean's Ford on the Bull Run, but the Johnnies did not get range, and the Regiment did not realize their situation. This occurred while marching down to reinforce another Battalion, which had taken advantage of some rifle pits, and were fighting only a few rods to the front of our line of battle. The system of strategy appears to have changed. It now consists of flank movements. The cavalry and artillery are usually effective. There is so much of this lighting of late that all have become accustomed to, and familiar with the excitement of severe and brisk cannonading.
The weather for this time of year is good, and the fall season so, far, has generally been favorable for activity.—Some days are very pleasant and cheering. How long we shall remain here or what are our prospects no one knows. Inspections, and investigation as to amount of rations on hand, are taking place, and these things sometimes indicate a move.
The health of the soldiers is much better than in warm weather. The army never felt better or stronger. The rebel cause, from reliable sources, is rapidly waning and will soon we trust lose caste even to the laying down of arms and again cherishing and holding fast the blessings of peace.
The army looked anxiously forward to the State election, and their hopes are fully realized. You, friends of the Union have done well, and nothing has occurred since the rebellion more encouraging to the soldiers. Press on in the work! you have the cause of justice and right, and good men will forever sanction your efforts and bestow their benediction on all true loyalists. God does, we are confident, favor the cause in which we are engaged and in due time will bring back again the balmy days of peace and security.
Yesterday a friend and myself took a walk to Culpepper, about two miles distant. The town now is all military, few citizens making their appearance.
In fact there are none left save women, old men and children. What would the citizens of Albion think of seeing their pleasant village all dilapidated and going to desolation, with only a shabby barber shop with two old gray headed negroes in it, and one or two places where only tobacco was sold. The business places generally have the windows pushed in or the shutters closed. The Court House is used for a stable. It was indeed a pleasant and flourishing place before the war, and would compare favorably with a place only a little smaller than Albion. This country and the country round about is as fine a section as we have seen in Virginia.—The dinner which we were fortunate in getting at $1 each in greenbacks or $4 Confederate, was very good and satisfactory.
Yery truly, &c., HOLLEY.
BALTIMORE, MD., July 13, 1864.
MESSRS. EDITORS:
I had a list of the killed, wounded and missing of our regiment, in the fight at Monocacy Bridge, on Saturday the 9th inst., published in the American this morning, a copy of which I send you for publication. Among those I have reported missing, some were probably killed, some wounded and in the hands of the enemy, and the rest are probably prisoners. I have waited till I think all the stragglers have come in who were not captured, before sending you the list; and it is as nearly correct as we can make it at. Those whose manes are not in this list are known to be safe. It is a sad record we made in that terrible fight--the most severe in which our regiment was ever engaged. The rebels outnumbered us three or four to one, and it was only after eight hours hard fighting, when our boys found that they were flanked on the right and left with three lines of battle pressing them in front, that they commenced to fall back. Our officers and men stood heroically against such fearful odds till ordered back. Even then, Col. Emerson displayed the qualities of a brave and daring soldier, and was conspicuous for his gallantry through the entire fight. Lt.-Col. Fay did, all that an officer could do, and showed the same coolness and courage as when on former occasions it has devolved on him to lead the regiment in the contest against a desperate foe. Adjt. Jewell was at his post all through as brave as the bravest, and the line officers unflinchingly led their men amidst the storm of iron hail, till some of them had but two to take off with them when the retreat came. Col. Emerson had four balls pass through his clothes—two of them wounding him slightly—though he remained on duty, and is now commanding the brigade.
Our Division is now encamped in Druied Hill Park, just outside the northern limits of the city, where I hope they may remain long enough to rest. As we marched with the remnant of our noble regiment through the streets of Baltimore this morning, I could not keep back the tide of feeling that would moisten my eyes as I thought of the noble dead who left this place with us a little more than a year ago, but are now filling honored graves at Locust Grove, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, and Monocacy Bridge. May God be kind to the sad, stricken hearts at home. Very respectfully,
L. T. Foot

Thursday Morning. Oct. 13, 1864.
Interesting Letter from the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.
CAMP NEAR BERRYVILLE, VA.
September, 17, 1864.
BRUNER BROTHERS:— We are in camp on or near Clifton Farms. We know very little about the place, but suppose it to be one of the great, broad possessions of Virginia aristocracy. We came here the 3d inst. This is the longest rest we have had since the pulling up of camp near Culpepper, May 3d. Here there is no firing oftener than once in two or three days. Day before yesterday there was a reconoissance by the Cavalry supported by the 2d Division of the 6th Corps. Yesterday morning they brought in an entire regiment of South Carolina prisoners.
Since you heard from us at Buckeye-stream, Md., there has been a continued active campaign. We were put on the cars at Monocacy Junction, our old battle-field, the next morning and came directly to Harper's Ferry, and thence to Bolivar Heights. The army of the Middle Department, well organized under Gen. Sheridan, a brave and accomplished soldier, advanced up the Valley as far as Strasburg; and then back again to Hoeltown, near Bolivar; out again beyond Charlestown; back again to near Harper's Ferry; and, after a season, another forward movement as far as this place. During the time there has been several little skirmishes but with small loss to the 3d Division. The morning we were ordered from Monocacy Gen. Grant was there. He was at Gen. Hunter's head-quarters near by the railroad, and as the troops passed by they cheered him grandly. The movements that have been made since then have taught us what he knew then and we did not. Now this morning the Corps Officer of the Day has passed along and reported that Gen. Grant had arrived and was now at Gen. Sheridan's headquarters.
Inspections are prevalent, and affairs begin to assume a shape that indicates active operations again.
It is singular how soon after an engagement soldiers forget their sorrow for loss of friends; forget their hardships and trials and suffering. After getting in camp and rested, all hands are jubilant. All the little amusements and sports that can be invented, are indulged in. They are very innocent, and certainly beneficial and desirable. Such sports as pitching quoits, playing duck, jumping, cock-fighting &c. We go into a battle and perhaps one sees his best friends cut down by his side. This is grievous and cannot be blotted from the memory in an instant, but it does no good to brood in a melancholy mood over the matter. The hopeful and cheerful spirit is everywhere prevalent in the army. One regiment of our Brigade goes home one week from today. The 87th Pa. are brave soldiers and have done three years good service. We are rejoiced to see so many left to go home. The Brigade is having some recruits, conscripts and substitutes sent to it. Substitutes are usually poor soldiers, however. This Valley is an excellent country, but it should be entirely cleaned out and not a citizen be allowed to stay in it at present. The armies here are using up the substance of this section most effectually.
Occasionally there is a letter published in the Northern Rebel papers reported to be from soldiers. Do not believe this. There was one the other day quoted as being from a soldier in the 151st and dated at Strasburg, the 26th ult. The author ought to be a little more careful in regard to dates. We were not at Strasburg, at all at that time. Seymour, Vallandigham, Pendleton & Co., need not flatter themselves that the army is disloyal, or even partisan. Occasionally, to be sure, a sour, selfish misanthrope may talk venomously, but as a general thing the great mass speak, and will vote for Union and the suppression of the Rebellion by force of arms. The only safe Platform before the people is that of the Union. The nominees of the Baltimore Convention are satisfactory. Everything looks bright and promising.
Wise men told us, even in the days of greatest gloom and doubt, that all would be well. Gen. Grant is rapidly bringing the campaign to a successful and satisfactory consummation. We are all anxiously looking forward for the end of this awful war. But, be assured, none in the army are anxious to have it close till it is done honorably and effectually. The 8th Artillery are really unfortunate. It is sad to see so large a regiment cut down so rapidly. You may remember that out term of service expires Oct., 22d 1865. We trust, by the kind protection of God, to come home safely and honorably.
HARRISONBURG, Va. Sept. 26th.
Since I wrote the above there has been no mail; and there has been so much greater events that all else is made insignificat; nevertheless you have it.
We received marching orders the next day, (Sunday 18th,) but after getting packed up the orders were countermanded. At night, however, about ten o'clock, orders came to march at 2 o'clock, Monday morning. After marching about seven miles in the direction of Winchester we met the enemy. A battle ensued, the first of two great engegements and Victories during last week. The details of these battles are probably already familiar to you. A Cavalry fight occurred in the morning, and then infantry skirmishing till 11:40. At this time a grand charge was made of all the line. The enemy were driven and bitterly punished, but under his withering fire our forces were obliged to fall back a little. This was owing in a great measure to an accidental halt in our lines. But it was only for a short time, and our boys again recovered all the ground the had taken and held it by persistent fighting for four or five hours. The lines were again formed to good order and another charge made which night alone ended. The enemy were driven and dispersed and hosts of prisoners captured together with several cannon.
Our forces occupied Winchester and camped that night on the south side of the town. The 151st were on the skirmish line in the forenoon and consequently did not have to go forward in the first charge, and their loss is not so severe as that of other regiments. The greatest loss was in the first onset. Cannonading was kept up during the brisk skirmishing in the forenoon and many were killed and wounded. Capt. Williams was wounded while skirmishing. He is a very brave officer. Col. Emerson, commanding Brigade, and Lieut. Col. Fay, commanding the Regt., have acquitted themselves gallantly. They have had many narrow escapes. The loss of the regiment is only about 25. That of Brigade 289. This is out of about 900 or 1,000 fighting men. Our in prisoners is nothing. I inclose a list of casualties among the Orleans Co. boys. The lost some of its finest field officers. Major Dilingham the 10th Vt., son of the Lieut. Governor of that State, and Maj. Medenburgh of the 14th N. J., are both among the killed. Both these officers were commanding regiment. Gen. Russell commanding the 1st Division of the 6th Corps was killed early in the engagement.
Tuesday morning this army marched forward up the Valley, reaching Strasburg the same day, and found the enemy in his old intrenched position. The following day our Corps moved to the right and advanced on the enemy, but darkness coming on suspended further operations. During the night fortifications were built, but not used, for early the next day skirmishing began, and an advance was made. The 3d Div. of the 6th Corps was legitimately in reserve, but actually in front. Orders were given that the 8th Corps should take the main works while the 3d Div. of the 6th were to cary a certain crest. But as soon as the charge was ordered, the whole army pushed irresistably and frantically forward carrying everything before them. Darkness ended the charge but it did not end the exultation—cheers, huzzas and yells. A constant and heavy fire was kept up all day and caused some occasional loss, but it was trifling in comparison with the great achievement. The enemy were behind strong works and a great slaughter was expected if not a repulse, but by the superior strategy of Gen. Sheridan the "Johnnies" were completely routed and lost at least 21 guns, and hosts of prisoners. Gen. Sheridan has made himself everywhere conspicuous during the recent engagements, riding up and down the lines in the hottest of the fire; infusing his troops with the greatest enthusiasm. Officers and soldiers were wild in their pursuit of the retreating foe, but the rebels run so like sheep it was impracticable for infantry to continue further. So cavalry and flying artillery followed as well as they could in the darkness.
After the troops were reorganized and had cooked coffee they moved deliberately forward to Woodstock, 12 miles, where we made breakfast. After a few hours rest we went "onward" again, to Edinburg. The next morning early, marched again, overtaking the enemy at Mt. Jackson. But they were readily shelled out, and after that during the day their rear was constantly in sight. We marched with a skirmish line in front and the "Johnnies" were obliged to skirmish what they could with us in face of our artillery, all the afternoon, continually retreating. Finally, just before dark they made a strong stand about three miles this side of New Market, when night came and we camped. Yesterday the army marched to this place and have remained here to day. The enemy appear to have divided and a portion gone the other side of the mountains. This is most disgraceful retreat any army ever made. Several of their hospitals have fallen into our hands. Tere are four in this place.
The army, at least our Division, is well supplied with tobacco here. The soldiers are nearly subsisting off the country. This is a pleasant, fertile and fruitful section. The weather is excellent. We are some distance away from our base of supplies, and had hard work getting here, but who says we have not done a successful week's work?
Yours truly, HOLLEY.
THE 151ST IN THE BATTLE AT MONOCACY.
The 151st N. Y. V., Col. Emerson, was in the recent battle with the rebel force at Monocacy and sustained considerable loss. A letter from an officer to Captain Imo gives a few particulars. The 151st is in Rickett's division. The writer says: "the fight was a rough one. Our division with the exception of 900 men who did not arrive and some one hundred day men who all ran away at the first fire—had to fight at least four times our number. The rebels had six batteries and we had one. (Alexander's of Baltimore, and they knew but little). We fought five hours and retreated about six miles from the field and reorganized, but the enemy did not press us.
"Our casualties are as follows: Lt. Hutchinson, killed; Capt. Bogardus, wounded in leg and missing; Col. Emerson, wounded in arm, slight; Lt. Col. Fay, leg, slight; Capt. Wiles, slight bruise; Capt. Geo. J. Oaks, (of Rochester) head, thigh, back, and wrist, slight; 1st Lt. McNaughton, Company H, arm.
"The casualties in company E, of Rochester, are as follows: Henry J. Bell, killed; Sgt. Geiser, wounded in leg, slight; Corp. Seheidnagel, arm; Kleppert, Ehrle, Hartwick, Wm. Kreigg, and Suter, missing. Some of the missing may be heard from.
"Company E lost the fewest and company G. the most men. Company F. had five killed.
"Our men fought the rebels well, if we did have to give way. The loss of killed in the division is 121 reported. The rebels lost 300.
"Capt. Oaks was knocked down and lay senseless for twenty minutes. He has been in hospital but will soon join his division at Washington."
DEATH OF CAPT. S. S. WILCOX.—Capt. S. S. Wilcox, of the One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiment, was killed in the battle near Mine Run, Va., last Friday. Capt. W. was but twenty-five years of age, a native of Gasport, Niagara county, and before he joined his regiment, was in the employ of Mr. WOLVERTON, of this city. He was a young gentleman of excellent character, and of unusual business capacities. But he felt it to be his duty to go to the field, and to do so made great social and pecuniary sacrifices. He has died a martyr to his love of country, and his parents and friends will mourn his early death.

He has died a martyr to his love of country, and. his parents and friends will mourn his early death.
Among the arrivals here, Saturday, was Capt. F. W. Coleman of the 151st N.
Y. V. It is now about two years since Capt. Coleman went with a company from this place, since which he has been in constant service. In the present Virginia Campaign he received a severe wound in the leg which has not yet healed so that he can walk without a crutch. Capt. C. is enjoying excellent health. He is now on duty as a member of an Examining Board to inspect all the army hospitals in the Eastern Department. Brig. Gen. F. H. Warren and Surgeon J. J. Craven, are the other members of the Board. Some time will elapse before Capt. Coleman will be able to resume active duty in the field. We learn that he has been promoted to Major—but has not yet been mustered as such. Lieut. Derrick of Capt. Sheldon's Co., 8th N. Y. Artillery, was also in town Saturday.
CASUALTIES IN TH 151ST.—We are indebted to Chaplain Foote for a complete list of the casualties in the 151st, at the battle of the Monocacy Junction on the 9th inst. Our readers, we know, will thank the Chaplain for this evidence of devotion to the interest of the Regiment and to the gallant men who offer their lives for their country.
PROMOTIONS FROM THE 151ST REGIMENT.
A letter from Captain Imo, of the 151st Regiment, informs us that Benjamin Ambruster, of his company, has been promoted to a 1st Lieutenantcy in the 2d New York (colored) Regiment, and Ed. Hiller and Frank Otto, of the same regiment, are ready to be examined for the same promotion. These gentlemen are all from this city, and enlisted in Capt. Imo's Company as privates. Capt. Imo writes that his men are al in good health and spirits. The 151st Regiment.—This regiment, from Orleans and Niagara counties, seems to have been in the fight at Monocacy with the rebel raiders, for the two following names are reported in a list of casualties:
Col. Emerson, slightly wounded,
Lieut. Col. Fay, wounded in the leg.
No other names of privates or officers are mentioned in any of the New York papers, and it may be two or three days before we can publish the full lists.
The 151ST.—Very little can yet be heard from our 151st Regiment in the 6th corps. The papers report but few names of wounded—and none of those are of Capt. Coleman's company. A letter, however, from Johnson, who had been detailed for duty in the hospitals, states that H. Turk, of this place was slightly wounded. Of course there is an intense anxiety to hear full particulars. It is possible that they have been through these terrible battles of two weeks without much loss, but their friends at home fear it has been otherwise. We must soon hear the worst.

On October 21, 1993, a Commonwealth of Virginia jury convicted Lonnie Weeks, Jr., of the capital murder of Virginia State Trooper Jose Cavazos. Following the jury's determination that Weeks's conduct satisfied the "vileness" aggravating factor, the trial court sentenced Weeks to death. After exhausting all available state remedies, Weeks petitioned the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for habeas corpus relief. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.1998). The district court dismissed his petition. Weeks subsequently filed an application for a certificate of appealability with this Court raising numerous constitutional claims of error. Weeks argues, inter alia, that the trial court's refusal to clarify its capital sentencing instruction to the jury after they indicated confusion with the instruction prevented the consideration of relevant mitigating evidence in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, that the trial court's refusal to appoint ballistics and pathology experts violated his due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, and that the Supreme Court of Virginia's refusal to suppress his confession to the murder of Trooper Cavazos violated his Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. After reviewing the record and briefs and hearing oral argument, we conclude that Weeks has failed to make "a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c) (2) (West Supp.1998). Accordingly, we deny his application for a certificate of appealability and dismiss his petition.
The undisputed facts of this case, as recited by the Supreme Court of Virginia, are as follows:
In early February 1993, [Weeks], who was age 20, a North Carolina resident, and on probation for a 1992 drug conviction, participated in the burglary of a residence in the Fayetteville, North Carolina area. During the course of that crime, [Weeks] obtained a set of keys to a 1987 Volkswagen Jetta automobile parked at the residence, and stole the vehicle. Later that month, [Weeks] drove the vehicle to Washington, D.C., intending to sell it or trade it for drugs. [Weeks] carried in the vehicle a Glock Model 17, nine millimeter, semi-automatic pistol loaded with hollow-point bullets. According to the testimony, the bullets were designed for police use, not target practice or hunting; this type of bullet is referred to as a "man stopper."
During the late evening of February 23, [Weeks] was riding as a passenger in the vehicle being driven by his uncle, 21-year-old Lewis J. Dukes, Jr., a resident of the District of Columbia. The pair was traveling en route from Washington to Richmond southbound on Interstate Route 95.
Around midnight, Trooper Cavazos was operating radar from his marked police vehicle parked in the highway medium monitoring southbound traffic. The Volkswagen driven by Dukes passed the trooper's position at a high rate of speed. The officer activated his vehicle's emergency lights and proceeded to chase the vehicle occupied by [Weeks]. After traveling a brief distance, and passing other vehicles by driving on the right shoulder of the highway, Dukes brought the car to a stop on the Dale City exit ramp, in a dark, remote area.
The trooper pulled his patrol car to a stop behind the Volkswagen, which he approached on foot on the driver's side. Upon the officer's request, Dukes alighted and was standing toward the left rear of the Volkswagen when the trooper asked [Weeks] to step out of the vehicle.
[Weeks] complied with the officer's request and alighted on the right side of the vehicle as the trooper was near the left side. As [Weeks] left the vehicle he was carrying the fully loaded pistol. He then fired at least six bullets at the officer, two of which entered his body beside the right and left shoulder straps of the protective vest the trooper was wearing. The officer was immediately rendered unconscious and fell to the pavement, dying within minutes at the scene with his police weapon in its "snapped" holster.
[Weeks], with Dukes as a passenger, then drove the Volkswagen from the scene and parked it on the lot of a nearby service station. [Weeks] returned to the scene of the crime on foot and retrieved Dukes' District of Columbia driver's license that had been dropped on the pavement. [Weeks] rejoined Dukes, and they were found by police shortly thereafter in the parking lot of a nearby motel.
. . . . .
About 2:45 a.m., after [Weeks] had been with [the Prince William County police officer who had first encountered Weeks in the motel parking lot] for about two hours, state police officers arrived to question [Weeks] and Dukes. Near 3:00 a.m., state police Special Agent J.K. Rowland met [Weeks] in the motel lobby. Rowland "explained to him that he was not under arrest" and asked [Weeks] "if he would like to talk ... about what he had seen up on Interstate 95." [Rowland], who ... testified [that Weeks] was "free to leave at that time," conducted an interview with [Weeks] in private in one of the motel rooms.
. . . . .
[A]s Rowland questioned [Weeks] in the motel room, Rowland became "more and more suspicious" of [Weeks]. Even though [Weeks] "was free to leave" at that point, Rowland advised [Weeks] of his constitutional rights according to Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 (1966), as a precaution at 7:40 a.m. [Weeks] then exercised his right to remain silent and wrote, "Do not want to discuss case any further," on the "Advice of Rights" form that he signed. Rowland honored this request, and ceased questioning.
At 7:50 a.m., Rowland was advised by another investigator that Dukes had just stated that [Weeks] shot the trooper. Rowland arrested [Weeks] at 7:52 a.m.
Subsequently, [Weeks] was taken before a magistrate and then to the Adult Detention Center in Manassas. Later that morning, classification officers in the jail routinely questioned [Weeks] about his physical and mental state; no attempt was made to elicit information about the crime. During the interview, [Weeks] indicated that he was considering suicide because he had shot the trooper. [Weeks] also voluntarily wrote a letter to a jail officer admitting the killing and expressing remorse. [Weeks] does not contest either of these admissions but attacks the constitutional validity of the following interview.
Near 6:00 p.m. on February 24, [Weeks] was brought to the lounge of the local prosecutor's office where Rowland again interviewed him; additional information had been developed by the police during the day between the termination of the first interview and the beginning of the second interview. Rowland asked [Weeks], "Do you remember the rights I read to you earlier today?" to which [Weeks] responded affirmatively. Rowland proceeded "to summarize the investigation through the course of the day's events to that point in time."
Among other things, Rowland told [Weeks] that an eyewitness to the shooting had made a positive identification of him as the assailant. A witness actually had identified [Weeks] as a person she saw at the scene after the homicide, but she had not witnessed the shooting. At the conclusion of Rowland's summary, he said to [Weeks], "This is your opportunity to provide your explanation as to what happened at the shooting scene." [Weeks] responded, "Yes, I was packing." The officer knew that "packing" meant "carrying a firearm."
[Weeks] then confessed to the trooper's murder. [Weeks] stated that when the trooper asked him to get out of the Volkswagen, he picked up the pistol and "thought about throwing it away." Instead, he saw the trooper put his hand down toward his service revolver. [Weeks] said he then "panicked" and shot the victim "several times rapidly." [Weeks] stated that he drove, with Dukes as a passenger, to the service station, placing the pistol under the front floor mat of the Volkswagen. This interview lasted about one hour during which [Weeks] readily answered questions and did not invoke his right to remain silent or any other constitutional right.
Weeks v. Commonwealth, 248 Va. 460, 450 S.E.2d 379, 382-86 (Va.1994).
After a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Prince William County, Virginia, Weeks was convicted of the capital murder of Cavazos pursuant to Va.Code Ann. § 18.2-31(6) (Michie Supp.1998). Based on its finding--made during the sentencing phase of Weeks's trial--that Weeks's conduct was outrageously or wantonly vile in that it involved depravity of mind and/or aggravated battery to the victim beyond the minimum necessary to commit the murder, see Va.Code.Ann. § 19.2-264.4(C) (Michie 1995), the jury recommended that Weeks be sentenced to death. After conducting a post-trial hearing pursuant to Va.Code. Ann. § 19.2-264.5 (Michie 1995), the Circuit Court of Prince William County followed the jury's recommendation and sentenced Weeks to death. On direct appeal, the Supreme Court of Virginia upheld Weeks's conviction and death sentence. See Weeks, 248 Va. 460, 450 S.E.2d 379. The Supreme Court of the United States denied Weeks's petition for a writ of certiorari. See Weeks v. Virginia, 516 U.S. 829, 116 S. Ct. 100, 133 L. Ed. 2d 55 (1995).
Weeks requested that the Circuit Court of Prince William County appoint counsel to assist him in preparing a state habeas petition. On October 10, 1995, the circuit court granted this request and Weeks's state habeas counsel filed a petition for habeas corpus. On December 1, 1995, state habeas counsel withdrew the petition from the circuit court after learning on that day that the appropriate court with which to file the petition was the Supreme Court of Virginia, because that court has sole jurisdiction over habeas petitions in death-sentence cases. State habeas counsel immediately mailed the petition by regular mail to the Supreme Court of Virginia on December 1, the last day for filing. The petition was filed on December 4, 1995.
On January 11, 1996, the Commonwealth filed a motion to dismiss Weeks's petition as jurisdictionally barred due to untimeliness under Va. Code § 8.01-654.1 and Rule 5:7A(a) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia. In its motion, the Commonwealth argued that the petition was not timely filed because the Supreme Court of Virginia does not accept pleadings sent in the mail on the last day for filing unless they are sent by certified or registered mail. On that same day, the Commonwealth also filed a motion to dismiss the petition on substantive grounds. On March 15, 1996, the Supreme Court of Virginia dismissed the petition as jurisdictionally barred due to untimeliness.
On April 11, 1996, Weeks filed a petition for rehearing with the Supreme Court of Virginia. Weeks subsequently filed a purportedly pro se motion seeking the dismissal of his state habeas attorney for an alleged conflict of interest and leave to file a second habeas petition after the appointment of new counsel. That motion was denied by the Supreme Court of Virginia on May 31, 1996. One week later, on June 7, 1996, the Supreme Court of Virginia denied Weeks's petition for rehearing. On June 28, 1996, the Circuit Court of Prince William County entered an order setting Weeks's execution for August 19, 1996.
On August 14, 1996, Weeks filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia requesting appointment of counsel, a stay of execution, and leave to proceed in forma pauperis. These motions were granted. Weeks was ordered to file his petition for writ of habeas corpus on or before February 7, 1997.
Weeks submitted his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the district court on February 7, 1997. The matter was referred to a magistrate judge for the preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b) (1) (B) and (C) (West 1993) and Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On July 30, 1997, the magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation, recommending that the petition be denied and dismissed. By opinion and final order of April 1, 1998, the district court granted the Commonwealth's motion for summary judgment and denied and dismissed Weeks's petition for a writ of habeas corpus in its entirety. Weeks v. Angelone, 4 F. Supp. 2d 497 (E.D. Va. 1998). On April 15, 1998, Weeks moved to alter or amend the judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). The district court denied this motion on June 19, 1998. On July 17, 1998, Weeks filed a timely notice of appeal. On October 16, 1998, Weeks filed an application for a certificate of appealability with this Court pursuant to Rule 22(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
On appeal, Weeks contends that he is entitled to habeas relief on the following grounds: (1) the trial court's failure to instruct the jury clearly that they were obliged to consider relevant mitigating evidence before making their sentencing determination created a reasonable probability that the jury interpreted the sentencing instructions in a way that prevented the consideration of constitutionally relevant evidence; (2) the trial court's refusal to appoint ballistics and pathology experts deprived him of his constitutional rights; (3) the trial court's failure to suppress evidence derived in violation of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination deprived him of due process; (4) Rule 5:25 is not an adequate procedural bar to his claims that were not raised at trial; (5) the fifty-page brief limit imposed by the Supreme Court of Virginia excuses the procedural default of claims not briefed on direct appeal; and (6) his state habeas counsel's conflict of interest constituted a violation of due process that excused the procedural default of his ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims. We address Weeks's arguments in turn.
The parties agree that the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, governs this case. For a claim that was adjudicated on the merits in state court proceedings, this Court will not issue a writ of habeas corpus under the AEDPA unless (a) the state court decision is in "square conflict" with Supreme Court precedent that is controlling as to law and fact or (b) if no such controlling decision exists, "the state court's resolution of a question of pure law rests upon an objectively unreasonable derivation of legal principles from the relevant [S]upreme [C]ourt precedents, or if its decision rests upon an objectively unreasonable application of established principles to new facts." Green v. French, 143 F.3d 865, 870 (4th Cir. 1998). "In other words, habeas relief is authorized only when the state courts have decided the question by interpreting or applying the relevant precedent in a manner that reasonable jurists would all agree is unreasonable." Id. When a petitioner has properly presented a claim to the state court but the state court has not adjudicated the claim on the merits, however, our review of questions of law and mixed questions of law and fact is de novo. See Jones v. Jones, 163 F.3d 285, 299-300 (5th Cir. 1998) (applying pre-AEDPA de novo standard of review to claims of ineffective assistance of counsel that were properly raised, but not adjudicated on merits in state court).
First, Weeks argues that the trial court prevented the jury from considering relevant mitigating evidence in violation of Boyde v. California, 494 U.S. 370, 110 S. Ct. 1190, 108 L. Ed. 2d 316 (1990). Specifically, Weeks points to the failure of the trial court, in response to a specific jury request for clarification, to instruct the jury clearly that it was not required to sentence Weeks to death upon finding at least one aggravating factor. In Boyde, the Supreme Court held that the proper inquiry into whether capital jury instructions satisfy the Eighth Amendment requirement that a sentencer give effect to mitigating evidence is "whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the jury has applied the challenged instruction in a way that prevents the consideration of constitutionally relevant evidence." Id. at 380.
During the penalty phase of Weeks's trial, the trial court gave the jury a lengthy sentencing instruction (Instruction # 2). The trial court denied Weeks's proffered instruction, C1, which instructed the jury that it had the option to give effect to the mitigating evidence and sentence Weeks to life in prison even if it found the Commonwealth had proved one or both of the aggravating factors beyond a reasonable doubt. During its penalty phase deliberations, the jury asked the court whether it was their duty to issue the death penalty if they found that Weeks was guilty of one of the aggravating factors, or whether they must decide whether or not to issue a death sentence even after finding that one of the aggravating factors had been met. Rather than issuing a clarifying instruction, the trial court instructed the jury by written response to see the second paragraph of Instruction # 2, which read as follows:
If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt either of the two alternatives, and as to that alternative you are unanimous, then you may fix the punishment of the defendant at death or if you believe from all the evidence that the death penalty is not justified, then you shall fix the punishment of the defendant at life imprisonment or imprisonment for live [sic] and a fine of a specific amount, but not more than $100,000.00.
(J.A. at 264 (emphases added).) The trial court overruled Weeks's objection and request that the jury be instructed that it could impose a life sentence upon finding one or both aggravating factors based upon its belief that the jurors "just have to be drawn to that paragraph to find their answer." (J.A. at 1344.) Following several more hours of deliberation, the jury sentenced Weeks to death.
The Supreme Court of Virginia rejected Weeks's claim, contained in assignment of error no. 44, that the trial court's actions prevented the jury from considering relevant mitigating evidence on the ground that Weeks "effectively presents no argument in support of" his claim. Weeks v. Commonwealth, 248 Va. 460, 450 S.E.2d 379, 383 (1994). The Commonwealth argues that this dismissal is procedural and that Weeks has procedurally defaulted any objection to the trial court's response to the jury's question about its sentencing options.
We disagree with the Commonwealth's characterization. First, in the sentence at the end of the same paragraph that states that Weeks "effectively presents no argument in support of," inter alia, assignment of error no. 44, the Supreme Court of Virginia concluded, "We have considered these so-called arguments and find no merit in any of [them]." Id. (emphasis added). Second, the Supreme Court of Virginia stated the following near the end of its opinion: " [D]efendant raises a number of miscellaneous issues dealing with evidence, jury instructions, and inquiries by the jury during its deliberations. We have considered all the arguments in support of these issues and conclude that none has any merit." Id. at 390 (emphasis added). Because Weeks's jury made two inquiries and Weeks's brief to the Supreme Court of Virginia made two assignments of error (nos. 43 and 44) regarding the court's response to jury instructions, the Supreme Court of Virginia's use of the term "inquiries," must have referred to both assigned errors nos. 43 and 44. The Supreme Court of Virginia therefore adjudicated assigned error no. 44 on the merits, allowing us to review this claim in a federal habeas proceeding. See Wright v. Angelone, 151 F.3d 151, 156-57 (4th Cir. 1998) (holding that a perfunctory decision constitutes an adjudication on the merits).
Where, as here, the state supreme court has adjudicated a claim on the merits but has given no indication of how it reached its decision, a federal habeas court must still apply the AEDPA standards of review. See id. A state court's perfunctory decision is reasonable if it " 'is at least minimally consistent with the facts and circumstances of the case.' " Id. at 157 (quoting Hennon v. Cooper, 109 F.3d 330, 335 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 118 S. Ct. 72, 139 L. Ed. 2d 32 (1997)). Therefore, the writ will not issue unless we determine that the Supreme Court of Virginia's disposition of this claim was either contrary to federal law as determined by the Supreme Court or an application or interpretation of Supreme Court precedent "that reasonable jurists would all agree," Green v. French, 143 F.3d 865, 870 (4th Cir. 1998), was not " 'minimally consistent with the facts and circumstances of the case,' " Wright, 151 F.3d at 157 (quoting Hennon, 109 F.3d at 335).
The Eighth Amendment requires that a capital jury be able to consider and give effect to all relevant mitigating evidence offered by the petitioner. See Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104, 112-14, 102 S. Ct. 869, 71 L. Ed. 2d 1 (1982); Lockett v. Ohio, 438 U.S. 586, 604, 98 S. Ct. 2954, 57 L. Ed. 2d 973 (1978). Evidence about the petitioner's background and character is necessary for the sentencer "to make an individualized assessment of the appropriateness of the death penalty." Penry v. Lynaugh, 492 U.S. 302, 319, 109 S. Ct. 2934, 106 L. Ed. 2d 256 (1989). In determining the validity of a challenged instruction, the instruction "may not be judged in artificial isolation, but must be viewed in the context of the overall charge." Cupp v. Naughten, 414 U.S. 141, 147, 94 S. Ct. 396, 38 L. Ed. 2d 368 (1973). In Boyde, 494 U.S. 370, 110 S. Ct. 1190, 108 L. Ed. 2d 316, the Supreme Court fleshed out these principles, holding that the proper inquiry in cases where a capital sentencing instruction allegedly prevents the consideration of mitigating evidence is "whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the jury has applied the challenged instruction in a way that prevents the consideration of constitutionally relevant evidence." Id. at 380. Applying this rule to the petitioner's case in Boyde, the Supreme Court concluded that there was not a reasonable likelihood that the challenged instruction prevented the consideration of mitigating evidence, in light of the fact that the instruction told the jury that "you shall" consider " [a]ny other circumstance which extenuates the gravity of the crime" and that the jury was presented with four days of evidence at the penalty phase relating to Boyde's background and character. Id. at 381; see id. at 381-84.
Applying the Boyde inquiry in Buchanan v. Angelone, 522 U.S. 269, 118 S. Ct. 757, 139 L. Ed. 2d 702 (1998), the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Virginia pattern capital sentencing instruction, the very instruction at issue in this case, against a challenge on Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment grounds. The Supreme Court first noted that "the sentencer may not be precluded from considering, and may not refuse to consider, any constitutionally relevant mitigating evidence. However, the State may shape and structure the jury's consideration of mitigation so long as it does not preclude the jury from giving effect to any relevant mitigating evidence." Buchanan, 118 S. Ct. at 761 (internal citations omitted). The Court further held, in pertinent part:
The instruction did not foreclose the jury's consideration of any mitigating evidence. By directing the jury to base its decision on "all the evidence," the instruction afforded jurors an opportunity to consider mitigating evidence. The instruction informed the jurors that if they found the aggravating factor proved beyond a reasonable doubt then they "may fix" the penalty at death, but directed that if they believed that all the evidence justified a lesser sentence then they "shall" impose a life sentence. The jury was thus allowed to impose a life sentence even if it found the aggravating factor proved.
Id. at 762. The Supreme Court concluded that " [e]ven were we to entertain some doubt as to the clarity of the instructions," the two days of testimony related to mitigating evidence and the extensive arguments of the defense and the prosecution on the effect such evidence should be given in the sentencing determination demonstrated that there was "not a reasonable likelihood" that the instructions had precluded the jury's consideration of Buchanan's mitigating evidence in violation of Boyde. Id. at 762-63.
Given the Supreme Court's decision in Buchanan, Weeks is reduced to arguing that the trial court's failure to clarify a constitutionally sufficient instruction violated his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights because the jury's question placed the trial court on notice that it was reasonably likely that the jury would apply the instruction in a way that prevented the consideration of mitigating evidence. We find this argument to be without merit. Following the jury's finding of guilt on the capital murder charge, Weeks presented mitigating evidence as to his religious upbringing, the abrupt manner in which the events surrounding the shooting unfolded, and his feelings of remorse. Defense counsel argued extensively that the jury should give this mitigating evidence great weight in the sentencing determination. " [W]e think it unlikely that reasonable jurors would believe the court's instructions transformed all of this favorable testimony into a virtual charade." Boyde, 494 U.S. at 383 (internal quotation marks omitted). In fact, the verdict form the jury returned specifically noted that in fixing Weeks's punishment at death, the jury "considered the evidence in mitigation of the offense." (J.A. at 258, 1345-46.) At the conclusion of the penalty phase, following the announcement of the verdict in open court, each member of the jury was polled and confirmed the verdict.
Under these circumstances, we believe that no reasonable juror would have understood the sentencing instruction to preclude the consideration of mitigating evidence even upon a finding of an aggravating factor. The Supreme Court of Virginia's summary disposition of this claim, therefore, was neither contrary to federal law as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the United States nor an application or interpretation of Boyde "that reasonable jurists would all agree," Green, 143 F.3d at 870, was not "minimally consistent with the facts and circumstances of the case," Wright, 151 F.3d at 157.
Next, Weeks argues that the trial court's denial of his request for appointed ballistics and pathology experts violated his rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. As support for his argument, Weeks cites the Supreme Court of Virginia's opinion in Husske v. Commonwealth, 252 Va. 203, 476 S.E.2d 920 (Va.1996), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1154, 117 S. Ct. 1092, 137 L. Ed. 2d 225 (1997), decided one year after Weeks's conviction became final. In Husske, the Supreme Court of Virginia held that in certain instances, indigent defendants must be provided with non-psychiatric experts as part of the "basic tools of an adequate defense." Id. at 925.
Prior to the trial, Weeks filed a motion for expert assistance in the fields of ballistics and pathology and, simultaneously, asked that his motion be treated pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3006A(e) (West Supp.1998), which requires that an indigent's request for expert assistance in federal court be treated ex parte. Weeks contended that expert assistance was needed to evaluate the evidence and present a defense on the issues of premeditation in the guilt phase and vileness in the sentencing phase. Weeks contended that because he must demonstrate to the court why such expert assistance is required, the hearing on the motion should be ex parte to prevent the prosecution from learning the theory of the defense. After hearing argument of counsel, the trial court entered an order of September 28, 1993, denying both the motion and Weeks's request for an ex parte hearing on the motion.
On direct appeal, Weeks raised numerous assignments of error. In his 11th assignment of error, Weeks argued that the trial court erred by denying his application to be heard ex parte on his motion for expert assistance in the fields of pathology and ballistics. In his 12th assignment of error, Weeks argued that the trial court erred by denying his motion for expert assistance in the field of pathology and ballistics. The Supreme Court of Virginia declined to grant relief on either claim. See Weeks v. Commonwealth, 248 Va. 460, 450 S.E.2d 379, 388 (Va.1994).
The Commonwealth argues that the Supreme Court of Virginia's disposition of Weeks's 12th assignment of error, i.e., his claim for appointment of experts, is not cognizable on federal habeas because it "reached no federal constitutional issue, for the simple reason that Weeks advanced no such claim." (Appellee's Br. at 16-17.) A federal court may grant habeas relief "only on the ground that [the petitioner] is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(a) (West 1994). Therefore, when a petitioner's claim rests solely upon an interpretation of state case law and statutes, it is not cognizable on federal habeas review. See Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67-68, 112 S. Ct. 475, 116 L. Ed. 2d 385 (1991) (" [I]t is not the province of a federal habeas court to reexamine state-court determinations on state-law questions."). Moreover, a federal habeas court cannot hear a petitioner's federal claims unless he has first exhausted state remedies, see 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(b), (c) (West 1994 & Supp.1998), which requires that the petitioner fairly present the substance of his federal claim to the state courts, see Duncan v. Henry, 513 U.S. 364, 365-66, 115 S. Ct. 887, 130 L. Ed. 2d 865(1995) (per curiam) (reversing grant of writ of habeas corpus where petitioner, on direct appeal in state court, claimed that evidentiary ruling violated state law but did not claim violation of any federal constitutional right).
Applying these principles to the facts of this case, we find the Commonwealth's argument unpersuasive. Although the Commonwealth correctly noted that the Supreme Court of Virginia did not discuss a federal constitutional issue in addressing Weeks's claim, it is the petitioner's argument to the court rather than the court's decision that is dispositive. Weeks's brief on direct appeal clearly alleged that the denial of expert assistance constituted violations of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States. Because Weeks presented the substance of a federal constitutional claim for experts to the Supreme Court of Virginia, we may review this claim in a federal habeas proceeding.
Weeks argues that the Supreme Court of Virginia never adjudicated the merits of his claim, and, therefore, this Court must review it de novo. Specifically, Weeks alleges that the Supreme Court of Virginia dismissed his application for an ex parte hearing on his motion for expert assistance in the fields of pathology and ballistics, the 11th assignment of error, without addressing his actual request for such expert assistance, the 12th assignment of error. With regard to these two assignments of error, the Supreme Court of Virginia found the following:
Associated with defendant's claim of error relating to the request for a scientific investigation is the complaint that the trial court erred by denying his request to be heard ex parte on his motion for expert assistance in the fields of pathology and ballistics, and for denial of the request for appointment of such experts. Defendant asked that his motion for funding for expert assistance "be treated under the same procedure as required by Title 18 USC 3006A(e) in Federal Court." There is no merit to this contention.
We already have decided that a defendant charged with capital murder is not entitled to an ex parte hearing on his motion for expert assistance. Ramdass v. Commonwealth, 246 Va. 413, 422, 437 S.E.2d 566, 571 (1993), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. Ramdass v. Virginia, 512 U.S. 1217, 114 S. Ct. 2701, 129 L. Ed. 2d 830 (1994). In addition, we specifically have refused to apply the federal statute to state capital murder prosecutions.
Weeks, 450 S.E.2d at 388. Weeks's claim rests on the arguable point that when the Supreme Court of Virginia stated that " [t]here is no merit to this contention," the singular term "this contention" only referred to Weeks's application for an ex parte hearing and not to his claim for experts. Weeks's interpretation is supported by the preceding sentence, in which the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that Weeks asked that his request for an ex parte hearing be treated under the same procedure as required by 18 U.S.C.A. § 3006A(e). Weeks's argument is also supported by the subsequent paragraph, in which the Supreme Court of Virginia exclusively discussed Weeks's application to be heard ex parte on his motion for expert assistance. The fact that the state court did not address a petitioner's federal constitutional claim does not render his claim unreviewable on federal habeas if he demonstrates that the state court had a fair opportunity to address the claim. Cf. Adams v. Robertson, 520 U.S. 83, 117 S. Ct. 1028, 1029, 137 L. Ed. 2d 203 (1997) (holding that a federal claim in a state court judgment on which the state court was silent will not be reviewed unless it was properly presented to the state court).
We agree with Weeks and conclude that the Supreme Court of Virginia failed to address his request for expert assistance in the fields of pathology and ballistics on the merits. Thus, we do not apply the standards of review set forth in 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(d) (West Supp.1998), which requires that a claim be "adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings." Because Weeks's request for experts requires us to apply a legal standard to a given set of facts, we review his claim de novo.
Even though Weeks's claim for expert assistance is not subject to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(d), we still must determine whether resolving Weeks's claim for experts in his favor would require this Court to announce a new rule in violation of Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288, 109 S. Ct. 1060, 103 L. Ed. 2d 334 (1989) (plurality opinion). See Green v. French, 143 F.3d 865, 874 (4th Cir. 1998) (holding that antiretroactivity principles of Teague apply where limitations of § 2254(d) (1) do not). "Under Teague, new rules will not be applied or announced in cases on collateral review unless they fall into one of two exceptions." Penry v. Lynaugh, 492 U.S. 302, 313, 109 S. Ct. 2934, 106 L. Ed. 2d 256 (1989). In general, "a case announces a new rule if the result was not dictated by precedent existing at the time the defendant's conviction became final." Teague, 489 U.S. at 301. "The principle announced in Teague serves to insure that gradual developments in the law over which reasonable jurists may disagree are not later used to upset the finality of state convictions valid when entered." Sawyer v. Smith, 497 U.S. 227, 234, 110 S. Ct. 2822, 111 L. Ed. 2d 193 (1990). Thus, a petitioner cannot receive federal habeas relief "unless reasonable jurists hearing petitioner's claim at the time his conviction became final would have felt compelled by existing precedent to rule in his favor." Graham v. Collins, 506 U.S. 461, 467, 113 S. Ct. 892, 122 L. Ed. 2d 260 (1993) (internal quotation marks omitted).
In determining whether a petitioner seeks a new rule on collateral review, a court should proceed in three steps:
First, the date on which the defendant's conviction became final is determined. Next, the habeas court considers whether "a state court considering [the defendant's] claim at the time his conviction became final would have felt compelled by the existing precedent to conclude that the rule [he] seeks was required by the Constitution." If not, then the rule is new. If the rule is determined to be new, the final step in the Teague analysis requires the court to determine whether the rule nonetheless falls within one of the two narrow exceptions to the Teague doctrine.
O'Dell v. Netherland, 521 U.S. 151, 117 S. Ct. 1969, 1973, 138 L. Ed. 2d 351 (1997) (internal citations omitted). Weeks's conviction became final on October 2, 1995, the date the Supreme Court of the United States denied certiorari. We therefore must determine whether as of October 2, 1995, a Virginia state court would have been compelled by existing precedent to conclude that a rule establishing a right to appointment of experts in pathology and ballistics for indigent criminal defendants was required by the Constitution.
Supreme Court precedent establishes the principle that the government, upon request, must provide indigent defendants with the "basic tools of an adequate defense or appeal, when those tools are available for a price to other prisoners." Britt v. North Carolina, 404 U.S. 226, 227, 92 S. Ct. 431, 30 L. Ed. 2d 400 (1971); see Douglas v. California, 372 U.S. 353, 357-58, 83 S. Ct. 814, 9 L. Ed. 2d 811 (1963); Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12, 18-19, 76 S. Ct. 585, 100 L. Ed. 891 (1956) (plurality opinion). Although the government need not purchase for the indigent defendant all the assistance that a wealthier defendant might buy, fundamental fairness requires that indigent defendants have "an adequate opportunity to present their claims fairly within the adversary system." Ross v. Moffitt, 417 U.S. 600, 612, 94 S. Ct. 2437, 41 L. Ed. 2d 341 (1974). In Ake v. Oklahoma, 470 U.S. 68, 105 S. Ct. 1087, 84 L. Ed. 2d 53 (1985), the Supreme Court held that as part of the basic tools of an adequate defense, an indigent defendant has a due process right to the appointment of a psychiatrist to assist him in his defense when he "demonstrates to the trial judge that his sanity at the time of the offense is to be a significant factor at trial." Id. at 83. Although there was broad language in Ake suggesting application to a variety of circumstances in which an indigent defendant requests expert assistance, its precise holding was limited to the facts at hand. See id. at 83. In fact, the Supreme Court soon thereafter declined to extend Ake 's holding to the appointment of a criminal investigator, fingerprint expert, and ballistics expert and declined to address the question of "what if any showing would [entitle] a defendant to [private non-psychiatric] assistance" as a matter of federal constitutional law. Caldwell v. Mississippi, 472 U.S. 320, 323 n. 1, 105 S. Ct. 2633, 86 L. Ed. 2d 231 (1985) (emphasis added).
We interpret Ake and Caldwell together to stand for the proposition that due process as of the time Weeks's conviction became final only required that an indigent defendant be appointed psychiatric experts when his sanity is at issue in the trial. Finding in favor of Weeks on his claim therefore would require us to announce a "new rule" of constitutional law in violation of Teague. Weeks cites Husske, 252 Va. 203, 476 S.E.2d 920, as support for his contention that he is not seeking the announcement of a new rule, but rather the application of an old rule. In Husske, the Supreme Court of Virginia noted the following:
Our research reveals that most courts which have considered the question whether an indigent defendant is entitled to the appointment of a non-psychiatric expert have applied the rationale in Ake, and, those courts have held that the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses require the appointment of non-psychiatric experts to indigent defendants depending upon whether the defendants made a particularized showing of the need for the assistance of such experts.
Id. at 925 (citing numerous cases from state and federal courts). The Supreme Court of Virginia continued, "We are of the opinion that Ake and Caldwell, when read together, require that the Commonwealth of Virginia, upon request, provide indigent defendants with 'the basic tools of an adequate defense,' and, that in certain instances, these basic tools may include the appointment of non-psychiatric experts." Id. (internal citation omitted). The Supreme Court of Virginia then held that an indigent defendant may establish an entitlement to appointment of a non-psychiatric expert "by demonstrating that the services of an expert would materially assist him in the preparation of his defense and that the denial of such services would result in a fundamentally unfair trial." Id.
Weeks argues that although the Husske decision came out one year after his conviction became final, it provides a good proxy of what the Supreme Court of Virginia would have concluded had it addressed the issue in Weeks's case, and, therefore, application of the Husske rule to his case would not involve the application of a "new rule." See Lambrix v. Singletary, 520 U.S. 518, 117 S. Ct. 1517, 1529, 137 L. Ed. 2d 771 (1997) (holding that case was a "particularly good proxy" for what a reasonable jurist would have thought four years previously, given that the only relevant cases decided in interim were dictated by precedent). We find Weeks's argument to be unpersuasive. The proper inquiry under Teague is whether the Supreme Court of Virginia would have been compelled by existing precedent at the time that Weeks's conviction became final to hold that Weeks was constitutionally entitled to the appointment of experts in pathology and ballistics, not whether the Supreme Court of Virginia would later be convinced after canvassing cases from other courts that such experts may be required in certain instances. Weeks points to no controlling precedent between Ake/Caldwell and Husske that would compel the Supreme Court of Virginia to rule in his favor. Neither the mere fact that prior cases lent general support to the conclusion reached in Husske, nor Weeks's contention that the Supreme Court of Virginia would have felt compelled (by existing precedent at the time that Weeks's conviction became final) to conclude that the rule he seeks was required by the Constitution, suffices to show that Husske was not a new rule. See Sawyer, 497 U.S. at 236.
In fact, we have recently indicated that the Husske rule is not required by Ake and Caldwell. In Gray v. Thompson, 58 F.3d 59 (4th Cir. 1995), this Court considered a habeas petitioner's claim that the Virginia state court's refusal to appoint a private investigator for the defense violated due process. See id. at 66. Citing Caldwell, we noted that the Supreme Court had flatly declined to resolve the question of what, if any, showing would entitle an indigent defendant to private non-psychiatric assistance as a matter of federal constitutional law. See id. We then concluded that resolving that question "would clearly be breaking new constitutional ground." Id. at 66; see also Jackson v. Ylst, 921 F.2d 882, 885-86 (9th Cir. 1990) (declining to address same question). We see no reason why the holding in Gray does not apply to a claim based on a denial of experts in pathology and ballistics. Weeks therefore is requesting this Court to apply the new rule established by Husske to his case.
Because Weeks claims the benefit of a new rule, the rule is not applicable to his case unless it falls within one of two narrow exceptions enunciated in Teague. Weeks argues that even if Husske was a new rule, his request falls under the second exception, which allows retroactive application of a "watershed rule of criminal procedure" that significantly improves the fact finding procedures and implicates the fundamental fairness of the trial. See Teague, 489 U.S. at 311. Weeks contends that in light of Ake and Caldwell it would be fundamentally unfair to conclude that psychiatrists are a basic tool of an adequate defense while non-psychiatric experts are not. In support of his argument, Weeks cites numerous cases in which this Court and others have recognized that due process may entitle an indigent defendant to receive the services of court-appointed independent non-psychiatric experts on request.
We find Weeks's argument to be unpersuasive. Because the second Teague exception is directed toward the accurate determination of guilt or innocence, it is "unlikely that many such components of basic due process have yet to emerge." Teague, 489 U.S. at 313. This Court has recognized that an indigent defendant has a right under the due process clause to the assistance of an expert if a substantial question exists over an issue requiring expert testimony for its resolution and the defendant's position cannot be fully developed without professional assistance. See Williams v. Martin, 618 F.2d 1021, 1027 (4th Cir. 1980). Williams concerned the refusal of the trial court to furnish the defendant with an independent pathologist to serve as an expert witness concerning the cause of the victim's death. See id. at 1026. Because there is no doubt as to the cause of Trooper Cavazos's death, we believe that Weeks's claim does not present the "substantial issue" necessary to invoke the Williams rule. See George v. Angelone, 901 F. Supp. 1070, 1084-85 & n. 8 (E.D. Va. 1995) (following Gray and holding that petitioner is not entitled as a matter of due process to private investigator to assist defense in countering Government's "vileness" case at sentencing phase). Moreover, because the Husske rule recognizing a federal constitutional right to non-psychiatric experts in Virginia state cases upon a particularized showing of such need adds to an existing guarantee of due process, it is not an "absolute prerequisite to fundamental fairness" of the type required by Teague 's second exception. Sawyer, 497 U.S. at 244.
In sum, we hold that although Weeks's claim for experts in pathology and ballistics was not adjudicated by the state courts, finding a federal constitutional right to such experts upon a particularized showing of need would require us to apply a "new rule" in violation of Teague. V.
Weeks also argues that the trial court violated his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by refusing to suppress the confession he made to Agent Rowland at the second interrogation. Specifically, Weeks alleges that Agent Rowland's second interrogation failed to "scrupulously honor" Weeks's right to cut off questioning in violation of Michigan v. Mosley, 423 U.S. 96, 96 S. Ct. 321, 46 L. Ed. 2d 313 (1975). Furthermore, Weeks claims that the constitutional error of introducing his statements made at the second interrogation had a "substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict." (Appellant's Br. at 24-25.)
The relevant circumstances surrounding Weeks's confession are as follows. At 7:40 a.m. on February 24, 1993, Weeks was read his Miranda rights by Agent Rowland, who had become suspicious of him during their conversation. Weeks invoked his right to remain silent and questioning immediately ceased. Upon learning several minutes later that the driver of the car in which Weeks was traveling had identified Weeks as the shooter of Trooper Cavazos, Rowland placed Weeks under arrest. Weeks was then taken before a magistrate and then to the Adult Classification Center in Manassas. Later that morning, in response to routine questions about his physical and mental state from classification officers in the jail, Weeks indicated that he was considering suicide because he had shot the trooper. At approximately 6:00 p.m., Weeks was brought to the lounge of the local prosecutor's office where Rowland again interviewed him. Rowland asked Weeks whether he remembered the rights Rowland had read to him earlier in the day and Weeks answered affirmatively. Rowland proceeded to summarize the evidence against Weeks. At the end of his summary, Rowland told Weeks, "This is your opportunity to provide your explanation as to what happened at the shooting scene." Weeks v. Commonwealth, 248 Va. 460, 450 S.E.2d 379, 385 (1994). Weeks replied that he was "packing" a firearm and then confessed to Trooper Cavazos's murder.
In Mosley, the Supreme Court addressed an issue left open by Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 (1966)--the circumstances, if any, under which resumption of questioning is permissible after a person in custody has indicated that he wishes to remain silent. See Mosley, 423 U.S. at 100-02. Rejecting an interpretation of Miranda that would "create a per se proscription of indefinite duration upon any further questioning by any police officer on any subject, once the person in custody has indicated a desire to remain silent," id. at 102-03, the Supreme Court concluded "that the admissibility of statements obtained after the person in custody has decided to remain silent depends under Miranda on whether his 'right to cut off questioning' was 'scrupulously honored,' " id. at 104. The Supreme Court set forth the following list of factors for a court to consider in making this inquiry: (1) whether the police had given the suspect Miranda warnings at the first interrogation and the suspect acknowledged that he understood the warnings; (2) whether the police immediately ceased the interrogation when the suspect indicated that he did not want to answer questions; (3) whether the police resumed questioning the suspect only after the passage of a significant period of time; (4) whether the police provided a fresh set of Miranda warnings before the second interrogation; and (5) whether the second interrogation was restricted to a crime that had not been a subject of the earlier interrogation. See id. at 104-07.
Weeks argues that his second interrogation was in violation of Mosley because his interrogators violated three of the Mosley factors: a significant amount of time had not passed between interrogations, no new Miranda warnings were given, and the second interrogation concerned the same crime that was the subject of the first interrogation. Insofar as Weeks suggests that the failure to satisfy certain factors is dispositive of whether a Mosley violation has occurred, we disagree. Mosley does not prescribe a bright-line test to determine whether a suspect's right to cut off questioning was "scrupulously honored." Instead, the touchstone is whether a "review of the circumstances" leading up to the suspect's confession reveals that his "right to cut off questioning was fully respected." Mosley, 423 U.S. at 104; see also United States v. Schwensow, 151 F.3d 650, 659 (7th Cir. 1998); United States v. Alvarado-Saldivar, 62 F.3d 697, 699 (5th Cir. 1995).
Applying the Mosley factors to Weeks's case, we cannot conclude that the Supreme Court of Virginia's decision to uphold the trial court's admission of Weeks's confession was contrary to or an unreasonable application of Mosley. The first factor in the Mosley analysis is whether the suspect was advised before the initial interrogation that he had the right to remain silent. The second factor is whether there was an immediate stoppage of questioning once the suspect asserted his right to remain silent. In this case, it is undisputed that Weeks received full Miranda warnings during his first interrogation by Agent Rowland and that questioning ceased immediately once Weeks invoked his right to cut off questioning.
The third factor in the Mosley analysis is whether the police waited a significant period of time after the suspect's initial invocation of his right to remain silent before questioning the suspect again. A significant period of time between interrogations does not require a durational minimum. Compare United States v. Cody, 114 F.3d 772, 775-76 (8th Cir. 1997) (holding that three hours was significant amount of time) with United States v. Barone, 968 F.2d 1378, 1385 (1st Cir. 1992) (holding that more than twenty-four hours was insufficient where police repeatedly pressured suspect to cooperate). Instead, a "significant period of time" is a function of to what degree the police "persist [ed] in repeated efforts to wear down [the suspect's] resistance and make him change his mind." Mosley, 423 U.S. at 105-06. In this case, over ten hours passed between the time when Weeks invoked his right to cut off questioning and the second interrogation, during which time Weeks was asked routine questions about his physical and mental state but was not subjected to repeated efforts to wear down his resistance. It was reasonable for the Supreme Court of Virginia to conclude that this period of time was sufficient. See Mosley, 423 U.S. at 104-06 (considering two hours to be a "significant period of time").
The fourth factor in the Mosley analysis is whether the suspect received a fresh set of Miranda warnings prior to the second interrogation. In this case, Agent Rowland admittedly did not reinform Weeks of his right to remain silent prior to the second interrogation. Agent Rowland did, however, ask Weeks whether he remembered the rights he had been read from the first interrogation, and Weeks responded that he did. Weeks then proceeded to confess voluntarily to the trooper's murder. The fact that incomplete Miranda warnings, or no warnings at all, are given prior to the second interrogation is not decisive. See, e.g., United States v. Andrade, 135 F.3d 104, 106-07 (1st Cir. 1998) (finding no Mosley violation where officer asked suspect whether he remembered rights that were read to him earlier and suspect answered in affirmative); Kelly v. Lynaugh, 862 F.2d 1126, 1131 (5th Cir. 1988) (finding that failure to give new Miranda warnings did not establish Mosley violation because in light of two oral warnings and one written warning given earlier, it would be difficult to conclude that suspect had forgotten his Miranda rights); Stumes v. Solem, 752 F.2d 317, 319-22 (8th Cir. 1985) (finding that failure to give new Miranda warnings did not establish Mosley violation because suspect's conduct indicated that he was aware of his Miranda rights). This principle is particularly apt here, as Weeks apparently was aware of his Miranda rights and voluntarily chose not to exercise them. See Andrade, 135 F.3d at 106-07; Stumes, 752 F.2d at 321. The fact that Weeks spoke to an officer to whom he had previously asserted his right to cut off questioning further indicates that he was comfortable in exercising this right and that his decision not to exercise this right was the product of volition rather than of coercion.
The fifth factor in the Mosley analysis is whether the second interrogation concerned a crime that was the subject of the first interrogation. In this case, both interrogations concerned the same crime--the murder of Trooper Cavazos. Where other factors indicate that a defendant's right to cut off questioning was "scrupulously honored," however, the mere fact that a second interrogation involves the same crime as the first interrogation does not necessarily render a confession derived from the second interrogation unconstitutionally invalid under Mosley. See, e.g., Schwensow, 151 F.3d at 659 (" [T]he constitutionality of a subsequent police interview depends not on its subject matter but rather on whether the police, in conducting the interview, sought to undermine the suspect's resolve to remain silent."); Hatley v. Lockhart, 990 F.2d 1070, 1074 (8th Cir. 1993) (" [A] second interrogation is not rendered unconstitutional simply because it involves the same subject matter discussed during the first interview."); United States v. Hsu, 852 F.2d 407, 410 (9th Cir. 1988) (noting that under flexible Mosley approach, "an identity of subject matter in the first and second interrogations is not sufficient, in and of itself, to render the second interrogation unconstitutional").
In sum, under the totality of the circumstances, it was reasonable for the Supreme Court of Virginia to conclude that the police "scrupulously honored" Weeks's right to cut off questioning. The record before us clearly demonstrates that the Supreme Court of Virginia's decision upholding the trial court's admission of Weeks's confession derived from the second interrogation was neither contrary to Mosley nor an application or interpretation of Mosley "that reasonable jurists would all agree [wa]s unreasonable." Green v. French, 143 F.3d 865, 870 (4th Cir. 1998).
Next, Weeks argues that the district court erred in holding that several of his claims were procedurally defaulted. Under the well-established doctrine of procedural default, a federal habeas court may not review a claim that a state court has found to be clearly and expressly defaulted under an independent and adequate state procedural rule unless the prisoner can demonstrate cause for the default and prejudice resulting therefrom or demonstrate that a failure to consider the claims will result in a fundamental miscarriage of justice. See Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 750, 111 S. Ct. 2546, 115 L. Ed. 2d 640 (1991); Harris v. Reed, 489 U.S. 255, 262, 109 S. Ct. 1038, 103 L. Ed. 2d 308 (1989). A state rule is adequate if it is "firmly established," James v. Kentucky, 466 U.S. 341, 348, 104 S. Ct. 1830, 80 L. Ed. 2d 346 (1984), and regularly and consistently applied by the state court, see Johnson v. Mississippi, 486 U.S. 578, 587, 108 S. Ct. 1981, 100 L. Ed. 2d 575 (1988), and is independent if it does not "depend [ ] on a federal constitutional ruling," Ake v. Oklahoma, 470 U.S. 68, 75, 105 S. Ct. 1087, 84 L. Ed. 2d 53 (1985).
First, Weeks asserts that the district court erred when it determined that Claims IV and XXIV were procedurally defaulted. On direct appeal, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that it would not address Weeks's assignment of errors 10 and 36 because Weeks failed to register these objections at trial as required by Rule 5:25 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia. Weeks v. Commonwealth, 450 S.E.2d 379, 388, 389 (Va.1994). Weeks subsequently raised these objections in his federal habeas petition as Claims IV and XXIV. The district court found these claims to be procedurally defaulted under Rule 5:25. Weeks v. Angelone, 4 F. Supp. 2d 497, 515 (E.D. Va. 1998).
Weeks does not dispute that these claims are procedurally defaulted under Rule 5:25, but he now argues that Rule 5:25 is not an adequate state procedural bar because it is not regularly and consistently applied by the Virginia state courts. As support for this contention, Weeks cites several Virginia state cases that allegedly demonstrate that Virginia courts have often strayed from the contemporaneous objection rule.
We find this argument to be without merit. As a general matter, an unambiguous court rule such as Rule 5:25 is necessarily "firmly established." See O'Dell v. Netherland, 95 F.3d 1214, 1241 (4th Cir. 1996) (en banc). Moreover, contrary to Weeks's assertion on appeal, the Supreme Court of Virginia has regularly and consistently applied Rule 5:25 in recent years. See, e.g., Fairfax Hosp. v. Curtis, 492 S.E.2d 642, 648 (Va.1997); Angstadt v. Atlantic Mut. Ins. Co., 492 S.E.2d 118, 121 (Va.1997); Hughes v. Cole, 251 Va. 3, 465 S.E.2d 820, 831 (Va.1996); see also Bennett v. Angelone, 92 F.3d 1336, 1345 n. 7 (4th Cir. 1996) ("Normally, the Virginia Supreme Court will not review errors not preserved by contemporaneous objection."). The mere recitation of a few cases in which the Supreme Court of Virginia has not applied Rule 5:25 is insufficient to show that Rule 5:25 is not consistently or regularly applied because " [c]onsistent or regular application of a state rule of procedural default does not require that the state court show an undeviating adherence to such rule admitting of no exception, when the state procedural rule has, as a general rule, ... been applied in the vast majority of cases." Yeatts v. Angelone, 166 F.3d 255, 263-64 (4th Cir. 1999) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted); accord Smith v. Dixon, 14 F.3d 956, 972 (4th Cir. 1994). Weeks therefore fails to establish that Rule 5:25 is not an independent and adequate state procedural bar precluding review of errors he did not raise at trial.
Next, Weeks claims that the district court erred when it determined that Claims II, III, VI, VIII, XVII, XXI, and XXIII were procedurally defaulted. On direct appeal, Weeks filed a ninety-page brief that raised forty-seven errors. He moved for leave to file an oversized brief pursuant to Rule 5:26. The Supreme Court of Virginia denied Weeks's motion and ordered him to file a fifty-page brief. Due to the space limitation, Weeks deleted the arguments supporting ten claims of federal constitutional error. The Supreme Court of Virginia refused to consider these ten claims (nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 26, 31, 38, and 39) for failure to brief or argue the errors. Weeks, 450 S.E.2d at 383 (citing Jenkins v. Commonwealth, 244 Va. 445, 423 S.E.2d 360, 364 (1992)). Weeks subsequently raised seven of these claims in his federal habeas petition as Claims II, III, VI, VIII, XVII, XXI, and XXIII. The district court found these claims to be procedurally defaulted for failure to brief them on direct appeal. Weeks, 4 F. Supp. 2d at 515-17.
Weeks now argues that the state rule preventing consideration of claims not briefed on direct appeal does not constitute an adequate and independent state bar because the fifty-page limitation physically prevented him from presenting these claims. In the alternative, Weeks argues that even if the rule is an adequate and independent state procedural bar, he has shown cause and prejudice to overcome the bar because the Supreme Court of Virginia's refusal to deviate from its fifty-page limit even when it was on notice that Weeks needed more than fifty pages to present his arguments was an "objective factor external to the defense" that impeded Weeks's ability to comply with the state procedural rule. Weeks also argues that by proffering the defaulted claims in his original oversized brief, he satisfied the exhaustion requirement for the purposes of federal proceedings and that further presentation of these claims was not required because the fifty-page limitation rendered the state appellate process ineffective to protect his rights. We address these arguments in turn.
First, Weeks argues that the state procedural bar preventing consideration of claims not briefed on direct appeal was not adequate and independent because the fifty-page brief limit physically prevented him from presenting all forty-seven assigned errors to the Supreme Court of Virginia. In support of this argument, Weeks cites Reese v. Peters, 926 F.2d 668 (7th Cir. 1991). In Reese, state law prevented the petitioner from raising several claims in post-conviction proceedings in state court. See id. at 670. On federal habeas review, the district court deemed these claims to be forfeited. See id. The Seventh Circuit stated that " [w]hen state law does not allow the prisoner to present a particular claim, the omission--submitting to limitations established by law--is not an independent and adequate state ground precluding federal review." Id. The Seventh Circuit concluded, however, that because the petitioner did not present the claims on direct appeal from his conviction, he forfeited the claims on collateral review. See id. at 671.
Reese cuts against Weeks's argument rather than supporting it. Much like the petitioner in Reese, Weeks voluntarily withdrew the arguments supporting several claims on direct appeal. The fifty-page limit merely limited the manner in which Weeks could present his arguments; it did not wholly prevent him from presenting them. Moreover, the Supreme Court of Virginia has regularly and consistently refused to consider claims not briefed or argued on direct appeal. See, e.g., Mueller v. Commonwealth, 244 Va. 386, 422 S.E.2d 380, 385 (1992); Quesinberry v. Commonwealth, 241 Va. 364, 402 S.E.2d 218, 222 (1991); Eaton v. Commonwealth, 240 Va. 236, 397 S.E.2d 385, 390 (1990). The state procedural rule that deems arguments not briefed to be waived is therefore an adequate and independent state bar.
Second, Weeks argues that even if the state procedural bar was adequate and independent, cause and prejudice existed for his default. " [T]he existence of cause for a procedural default must ordinarily turn on whether the prisoner can show that some objective factor external to the defense impeded counsel's effort to comply with the State's procedural rule." Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 488, 106 S. Ct. 2639, 91 L. Ed. 2d 397 (1986). Weeks argues that the fifty-page limit imposed by the Supreme Court of Virginia was itself an "objective factor external to the defense" that impeded his effort to comply with the state procedural rule.
We find this argument unpersuasive. While the page limitation may have led Weeks's counsel to make certain strategic choices as to which arguments to include and which to omit, the page limitation is reasonable. It would be nonsensical to hold that the fifty-page limit, which is itself a reasonable and consistently applied state procedural rule, could constitute cause for failure to adhere to another state procedural rule that deems issues not briefed on direct appeal to be waived. The fifty-page limit therefore did not constitute cause for Weeks's failure to comply with the state procedural rule requiring litigants to brief issues on appeal in order to preserve them.
Finally, Weeks argues that by presenting the defaulted claims in his original oversized brief, he satisfied the exhaustion requirement for purposes of federal proceedings. Weeks also argues that further presentation of these claims was not required because circumstances existed that rendered the state appellate process ineffective to protect his rights. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(b) (1) (B) (ii) (West Supp.1998). It appears that Weeks is conflating the related concepts of exhaustion and procedural default. Both parties, the district court, and we agree that Weeks's claims have been exhausted. The issue, however, is whether these claims are defaulted by Weeks's failure to brief them on direct appeal, and, if so, whether there is cause for and prejudice resulting from Weeks's default. As we concluded above, the state rule preventing consideration of claims not briefed on direct appeal is an adequate and independent state bar, and the fifty-page limit does not constitute cause for defaulted claims not presented on appeal. Weeks therefore fails to show that the state procedural rule barring review of claims not briefed on appeal is not an adequate and independent state bar precluding review of the claims he chose not to present to the Supreme Court of Virginia in his fifty-page brief.
Finally, Weeks claims that the district court erred when it determined that his ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims were procedurally defaulted. As of July 1, 1995, prisoners under a sentence of death were required to comply with a statute of limitations for filing a habeas petition and were limited to filing an original petition in the Supreme Court of Virginia. See Va.Code Ann. § 8.01-654.1 (Michie Supp.1998); Va. Sup.Ct. R. 5:7A(a) (Michie 1998). (J.A. at 517-20). Weeks's state habeas counsel erroneously filed Weeks's habeas petition in the Circuit Court for Prince William County. On December 1, 1995, the date on which Weeks's state habeas petition was due in the Supreme Court of Virginia, habeas counsel withdrew the petition and mailed it to the Supreme Court of Virginia by regular mail. The Supreme Court of Virginia received the petition on December 4, 1995. On March 15, 1996, the Supreme Court of Virginia granted the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss Weeks's petition as untimely, and, therefore, jurisdictionally barred. The district court found Weeks's ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims to be procedurally defaulted due to the untimely filing of his state habeas petition. Weeks, 4 F. Supp. 2d at 510-11.
In Virginia, claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel generally must be presented on collateral review rather than direct appeal. See Roach v. Commonwealth, 251 Va. 324, 468 S.E.2d 98, 105 n. 4 (1996). Weeks does not dispute that the untimely filing of his state habeas petition constitutes an independent and adequate state bar to the consideration of his ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims on federal habeas, but he now argues that cause and prejudice exist to excuse his defaults. Specifically, Weeks alleges that the defaults resulted from the clear conflict of interest under which his court-appointed state habeas attorney labored: the attorney had previously represented at trial another capital defendant, who was subsequently represented on state habeas by Weeks's former trial attorney. As support for his contention that such a conflict constitutes "cause," Weeks cites Legal Ethics Opinion (LEO) No. 1665, issued on April 1, 1996, by the Virginia State Bar, which condemned such "cross appointments" because each counsel "was expected to zealously advocate petitioner's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel ... while simultaneously defending himself against substantially similar claims."
Ineffective assistance of counsel may constitute "cause" for a procedural default under certain circumstances. Murray, 477 U.S. at 488. For an attorney error to constitute cause, however, a petitioner must first possess a constitutional right to assistance of counsel. See Coleman, 501 U.S. at 752. This Court has recently held that a petitioner has no constitutional right to assistance of counsel in state habeas proceedings, even though claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel can only be raised on state collateral review. See Mackall v. Angelone, 131 F.3d 442, 449 (4th Cir. 1997) (en banc), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 118 S. Ct. 907, 139 L. Ed. 2d 922 (1998). In an attempt to avoid the binding precedent of Mackall, Weeks argues that he possesses a liberty interest in conflict-free habeas representation that is protected under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment based on his statutory right to counsel under Va.Code Ann. § 19.2-163.7 (Michie 1995). Weeks further contends that the actions of his conflicted state habeas counsel in failing to observe the jurisdictional rules in filing his state habeas petition and in failing to withdraw after the Virginia State Bar issued LEO No. 1665, and of the state courts in appointing conflicted counsel, constituted violations of his due process rights.
Although Weeks characterizes the conduct of his state habeas counsel as "outrageous," at the district court level he relied on the same set of facts in making his Sixth Amendment claim of ineffective assistance of habeas counsel as his Fourteenth Amendment due process claim. We thus view his argument as an attempt to shoehorn a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel into a due process claim. We agree with the Ninth Circuit's reasoning in Bonin v. Calderon, 77 F.3d 1155 (9th Cir. 1996), which denied a due process claim nearly identical to Weeks's:
[The petitioner] essentially argues that the Fourteenth Amendment violation is his ineffective assistance of counsel.... [W]e now hold that ineffective assistance of counsel in habeas corpus proceedings does not present an independent violation of the Sixth Amendment enforceable against the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. To recognize such a claim would allow the Fourteenth Amendment to "swallow the rule" that there is no constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel in habeas corpus proceedings.
Id. at 1160; see also Smith v. Angelone, 111 F.3d 1126, 1133 n. 4 (4th Cir. 1997) ("We have never held that a prisoner may claim a due process violation based upon his lawyer's performance on state habeas ...."), cert. denied, 521 U.S. 1131, 118 S. Ct. 2, 138 L. Ed. 2d 1036 (1997). Under the persuasive reasoning of Bonin, a petitioner may claim a due process violation occurring in his state habeas proceeding, but he may not premise this claim solely on the alleged ineffective assistance of state habeas counsel. Because Weeks's due process claim is the same as his claim of ineffective assistance of habeas counsel and this Court does not recognize a constitutional right to counsel on state habeas, the alleged ineffective assistance of habeas counsel cannot constitute cause to excuse Weeks's defaulted ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims.
In conclusion, for the reasons discussed above, we hold that Weeks has failed to make "a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c) (2) (West Supp.1998). We therefore deny his application for a certificate of appealability and dismiss his petition.

Tonight's article is about the second F4U from my very first article here on Imodeller. This one is hot off the work bench. It's one of 3 early Corsair builds that I had going on at the same time. Two were by Tamiya and one was from Hobby Boss. (I recently posted an article about the Hobby Boss F4U-1).
Daphne C is named after the "then" Captain James N. Cupp's wife, Daphne. The plane and pilot were assigned to VMF-213 the "Hell Hawks".
This F4U is modelled after a Vought F4U-1, bureau number 3829, ( side number 15 ), which is the second "Daphne C" that was flown by USMC Ace James Cupp.
The name on the cowling side panels were taken from his first plane, which was bureau number 02350. Cupp's first plane was a "hand me down" well used F4U that was previously flown by Marine Ace Ken Walsh. That's why if you look close on the second to last photo you can see the remnants of a number #13 that was over painted. (However when Cupp flew Walsh's old plane it was renumbered to #7.) He scored his first victories on July 15th, 1943, and was an "ACE" only 3 days later.
Captain Cupp used this plane #15, to gain his 5th and 6th aerial victories on September 11th, 1943. On this date he shot down what was claimed to be an A6M Zero and a Ki-61 Tony. On the very next day, Sept 12th, he used this plane to strafe the Japanese airfield at Kahili, where he destroyed ten enemy planes on the ground and succeeded in sinking two barges offshore.
The last picture I included is a rather poor photo of F4U number 15, that presumably shows Cupp flying with the canopy open and wearing an oxygen mask. If you look close, you can see small 100 pound wing mounted bomb racks. I will probably add these to my model soon, when I add the pitot tube, which I simply overlooked.
Capt. Cupp was eventually credited with 13 1/2 (or 13) as his wing men reported, or 12.5 "official" confirmed aerial victories. He was shot down in flames while attempting to shoot down his last victim, which was a Mitsubishi G4M-1 "Betty" on September 20th, 1943.
At 0500 hours (5AM for you civilians), Captain James Cupp went airborne in another F4U bureau number 03803, to intercept a "Washing Machine Charlie" early that morning. The Japanese were sending out single nuisance bombers every hour on the hour in an attempt to keep our troops and pilots from getting any sleep. These bombers would drop one or two bombs, sometimes more, just to keep things "interesting" and keep everyone on their toes. Our troops called these flights "Washing Machine Charlie's".
As Cupp neared 10,000 feet, he could see the silhouette of the bomber. In an effort to escape the defensive fire from the tail mounted cannon, Cupp made a high speed pass (in excess of 300 knots) from underneath the bomber. As he pulled up to shoot into the belly of the plane, the bomb bay doors unexpectedly opened up. Inside the bomb bay of the Betty was a single machine gun that was manned by a very good shot... In a matter of seconds, at least 3 rounds hit the lower cockpit area of Cupp's F4U. This set a small fire ablaze inside the plane. The high speed of the Corsair fanned the flames which by now had grown considerably. The flames were by now burning Cupps legs...
Cupp attempted to bail out but was flying too fast and the slip stream pinned him in the cockpit ! To quote Cupp verbatim, he said "My plane was pushing air through the cockpit at more than 300 knots and the stream over my cockpit was like a steel wall holding me in. I could not get out ! ".
He stood up in the cockpit, unplugged his radio harness, loosened his safety belt and his shoulder straps were undone.
To again quote Cupp as it's written in my book called "The Blue Devils, US Navy and Marine Corps Aces of World War II ", by Barrett Tillman and Mark Styling. This is an AWESOME book if you're into Naval Aviation History on the F4U, F6F, and F4F.
Here goes:
"The air whipping into the cockpit had fanned the spark into a blow torch that swept up my legs as I sat back in the seat. The throttle arms next to my left leg were still on full, but I could not make that hand move to pull it back. I brought my left arm over to my right and hooked on to it. I watched as my right arm was dragged through the flames and deposited on the throttle which I slammed closed. I tried to get out again, but again was forced back. One thought mounted until it excluded all others - "How simple it would be to just ride her in." At that time the pain stopped in my legs and the mental turmoil subsided. Complete satisfaction and contentment engulfed me. It seems that the feeling was with me for hours to account for the vivid picture it left me, but I know it was actually over in a split second. I had been straining for freedom with my legs braced against the rudder bars, and then the tail was coming at me. I raised my legs to clear the elevators and then I was on my own. The plane was gone."
Captain Cupp's Squadron mates successfully shot down the "Washing Machine Charlie" that shot down James Cupp. He survived bailing out of his burning Corsair, and stayed in the afloat in the water until around 1430 hours, (2:30 PM for you civilians). He was badly burned on his arms, face, hands and legs. He stayed in the hospital for 18 months. During his hospital stay he underwent 14 surgeries for his injuries. When he was finally returned to flying status, he was assigned as a Naval Aviator Instructor.
Before he could return to the Pacific, the War was over.
Captain Cupp remained in the US Marine Corps after the War. In fact he went on to serve in the Korean War where he received his 4th Distinguished Flying Cross as a Ground Control Officer directing close air support strikes during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. (where my Dad also served, but dad was in the Army on the East side of the reservoir initially, re joining with the Marines after a few days... ) Who knows ? Cupp could possibly have saved my Dad's life during the "attack in a different direction".
He eventually rose to the rank of Colonel and retired in 1968. He was earned the Navy Cross among other awards. The Navy Cross is the USMC and Navy's second highest award following the Congressional Medal of Honor. It is awarded for valor in combat.
Colonel Cupp died in Manassas Virginia on June 2nd, 2004.
This model is a typical Tamiya build. Very trouble free. The one thing that is very inaccurate is the step cut out that is present in the starboard side inboard flap. It should not be present on these early Corsairs and didn't show up until the dash -1D model. However they could have been retro fitted to an earlier plane during a field repair or rebuild. I replaced the kit flaps with resin ones from Ultra Cast resin. They not only get rid of the hole in the step, they also allow you to model the plane with the flaps in the raised position.
I wanted to try something a little different with this plane. Vought used a yellow zinc chromate along with the "Salmon" color under the final paint. As the top color wore off the yellow would be present next. Once the yellow wore away, you would have bare metal. So I adapted my tape peeling method a little... Here's how.
I initially sprayed some Model Master "metallizer" on portions the airframe where I wanted to chip the paint. Then I sprayed Tamiya "Yellow Green" XF-4 next over the "metallizer". The Corsair was then sprayed in the final colors of Navy Blue Gray up top, and Flat Gull Gray FS 36440 on the undersides.
Once everything dried, I simply sanded away the top colors until I exposed the colors I wanted to be seen in the various locations. I did this in high traffic areas that were commonly walked on by the ground crew as they serviced the plane. These planes were in a very harsh environment. The landing strips were often made of crushed coral which is very sharp. The coral wore away paint on the leading edges and rear faces of the propellers (and various other places too). I tried to duplicate this with my model.
In the spring of 1943, Vought was authorized to mix aluminum paste in their green zinc chromate and this is referred to as "Candy Apply Green". It was for use in the cockpit areas. I tried to duplicate this as well since it's not a common color and thought it would look cool. It would have been possibly used during the construction of this bureau number. There are no records as to which planes were finished in this "Candy Apple" shade that have been found so far...
I replicated Candy Apply Green by first spraying the cockpit in a metallizer aluminum plate color. Then I mixed Tamiya clear blue and clear yellow to get a green color that was also clear. I sprayed my mixture on top of the aluminum. There is a picture showing the results near the end of the pictures.
I sprayed the inside of the cowling in light gray which is what Vought did during this time frame. I sprayed my home brew mix of Salmon color inside the rear fuselage tail wheel area of the fuselage and on the inside portion of the tail wheel doors. I sprayed Salmon ahead of the main wing spar in the area where the main landing gear attach to the wing. You can see this if you look close at the pictures of the under sides.
I used chalks, artists oils and washes to weather this Corsair. These planes got filthy really quick. I also tried out something new to me, called "Vallejo Splash Mud". If you look close at the photos of the rear sides of the fuselage, and underneath views, you will see this color. I used "Light Brown" slash mud since it's more accurately a light tan.
I hope you enjoyed the article and photos of my most recent model. The white glue hadn't dried just yet on the windscreen front canopy and it's pushed up a little, which can be seen if you look close... I'll have to fix that too.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday.
Happy New Year to all !
As usual, comments are welcomed and encouraged.
Stay tuned for the last of the 3 Corsair builds from my first Imodeler posting... It's getting closer to completion and is a Tamiya dash -1A "raised cabin" version...

Augusta County: Diary of Alansa Rounds Sterrett (1860-1913)
1860
September, October, November, and December 1860
Uncle Jed's brother, Nelson Hotchkiss, and his noble, sweet wife, Harriet (Russell) ran a boarding department for both boys' and girls' schools. Their children were Sarah, 13; Lora, 11; Elmore, 9; Olive, 7; Ned, 5; Stiles, 3. Sarah was my room-mate and for 50 years since has been my loving, loyal and dearly beloved friend. Aunt Sara's children were two - Nellie, 8; Annie, 4. Annie still had her nurse, "Toog". I rapidly became accustomed to colored servants. They swarmed everywhere, a jolly set; so fat, shiny and comfortable looking, and seeming kind and friendly, yet politely deferential, and I soon realized I had been transferred South of "Mason & Dixon's Line" to a peaceful, restful, happy land, and geographically, politically and socially new and refreshing to me. To find people "behind the times" and devoid of the restless "hurry and push" of the North seemed a beautiful dream. The people, rich and poor, were warm-hearted and hospitable. The men so chivalrous in their bearing to women. In those days "befo' de wah" there was a large and interesting circle of young folks in and about Churchville. So as different ones called on me I felt as tho' being introduced to the dramatis personae of a pleasing new romance from real life and enjoyed it accordingly.
Foremost among the ladies was Mrs. Dr. Gooch, a widow, and sister of Col. F. F. Sterrett. She had a queenly and gracious presence. Tall and large; fair, blue eyes, long abundant flaxen hair; beautiful teeth and a proud but bewitching smile; a perfect hand and small foot. No wonder she was so admired and sought after by all, especially gentlemen! I felt at once that she would prove a most desireable and congenial friend. She was very cordial and she said she should send her daughter Nannie, 11 years old, to take music and painting lessons of me.
I was soon busy with my singing, music, and painting classes. Nannie and Lora took painting and both music. They and Sarah were bright pupils; Sarah my most advanced musician. I taught drawing in my room, so the three "boon companions" were much with me and I was very proud of my interesting trio of "little women". They read aloud to me "Children of the Abbey", "Scottish Chiefs", "Thaddeus of Warsaw" etc. Old Dr. Wilson's daughter, Suie, was one of my guitar scholars. Eventually she became the first wife of Willie Hite (a son of Aunt Eveline Hite's of Bridgewater). One of the Loch Willow boarders was a lovely girl from Buffalo Gap, a Miss Lizzie Kunkle, afterwards the wife of John D. Hill, a member of the Churchville Cavalry. Another splendid girl was Ella Allen, who rode in every day behind her brother, Brown Allen, from Jennings Gap. She became the 2nd wife of Dr. R. S. Hamilton, whose first wife was Mrs. Henrietta Gooch (May Sterrett's own aunt). Among Aunt Sara's pupils were Marrie, Ellen and Hattie Cook. The latter married Louis Wise, of Florida. There were also Mary Lizzie Bear and Retta, and their cousins Rebecca and Siddie, &c.
One lovely P.M. Uncle Jed, Aunt Sara and I were invited over to Willow Glen, the old home of the Sterretts, to eat watermelons. We rode horeback to the outskirts of the village, where a pleasing picture met my eye. First, the old Sterrett flour mill, looking very picturesque and back from the road a considerable distance; then opposite it the garden and grapery. As we alighted at the stile, our attention was attracted by a Virginia trumpet creeper, which had wound about the trunk of a tall locust near by and gemmed its emerald foliage with its many scarlet trumpets, all quite four inches long, the first I had ever seen! The low rambling, old-fashioned house seemed lodged against the upward slope of a gentle declivity upon which was an orchard, and also the servant's quarters. The dormer windows of the upper (1/2) story gave it a very quaint expression, and a long front porch ran the length of the building from end to end, giving an air of comfort and hospitality which was unmistakable. There we sat to partake of the coming melon feast. But my hair having tumbled down in my ride over, Mrs. Gooch took me to the parlor bedroom, where I arranged my roving raven locks, while my hostess remarked, "You certainly have a lovely suit of hair, so long and glossy". The light came thro' a long open sliding window whose red curtain reflected a becoming tinge to my lips and cheeks and with the compliment raised my spirits still more. Mrs. Gooch introduced me to her sister, Miss Rebecca, (the housekeeper) and to her father, Capt. Henry Sterrett, (the dusty old miller) whom I noticed has a mischievous and merry twinkle in his blue eyes and whose thick, long iron-grey hair was as straight as an Indians! And I wondered where "the colonel" got his curly head! As we all sat chatting I had opportunity to take in the view. Across the road was the low-lying green meadow, through which ran the creek, traceable by the frequent water willows, and in its way filling the fore-bay which fed the big water wheel of the mill in plain sight. Its music I that day heard for the first time, but its soothing monotone was to bless and soothe me inumerable times in the future! I saw a path leading across the branch down to the spring-house, where for many years a grand old weeping willow had stood guard. Looking westward and over the hill I descried a delightful glimpse of the mountains blue! The whole scene made me think of Raselas and the "Happy Valley", especially as three of their slave boys stood alert and waiting a chance to serve these guests and their dear "old marster". So far and contented looking they were; Jim, John, and Leonard, and as black as their parents, Aunt Charity and Uncle Kit.
It was not long after this pleasant visit that Col. Sterrett began coming regularly to Loch Willow on Wednesday and Sunday nights, and usually on Friday evening Mrs. Gooch sent a boy over for my guitar, a horse for Nannie and me to ride, with a note inviting me to come prepared to remain until Monday morning. How I did enjoy those outings! The rides, farm rambles after apples, grapes and nuts; calls at the old grist-mill and getting weighed. The true, everyday life among the slave owners, where I saw and heard of no cruelty or oppression, and no one servant was overburdened, but each had their respective tasks. I fell in love with dear old Aunt Charity, the cook, and Amanda, the laundress. Then there was a dairymaid, a housemaid, a table waiter and an errand boy, &c. &c. The days had their charms, but the nights were impromptu receptions. One or more gentlemen were sure to "drop in" and one could generally count on Dr. R. S. Hamilton (associate of old Dr. Wilson), whose beaming face and banjo music and "darkey" songs could not be excelled by Polk Miller himself! So with the colonel's flute, my guitar, and Retta's and my vocal duets, the ensemble was pronounced "fine"! In fact on pretty moonlight nights our quartette distinguished itself on various occasions by serenading special friends. Retta often had one or two lady friends visiting her. Mag Baylor (Mrs. Wash. Swoope), her cousin Mag. Trimble (Mrs. George A. Hanger), Puss Fultz, Bettie Eidson, or Miller and Ginnie Cochran. A cousin of Retta's, Wm. A. Sterrett from Hebron (David Sterrett's old home, now a parsonage of Hebron church) was often a guest at Willow Glen and Wm. B. Sterrett made a visit this same year from Galveston, Texas, and sad to relate fell desperately in love with his captivating cousin Retta and as she was engaged to Dr. Hamilton, trouble ensued and many startling sensations; quite enlivening to so quiet a borough as Churchville!
A merry crowd at Willow Glen always inspired me with a wish to improvise a charade! So choosing my characters, I quickly "coached" them in a separate room, taking the most important part myself, and sometimes, by a slight change in costume, acting in two different parts. I was blest in the happy faculty of inspiring others with my boundless enthusiasm and thus my efforts were surprisingly successful. Retta was my ready, able and willing coadjutor; being a poet, a witty conversationalist and very quick-witted, I knew I could depend upon her part being perfect and telling. So after each act we left our audience to study out the syllables and at last to guess the whole word! It always proved a lot of fun and spontaneous entertainment.
Invitations from some of his particular friends were received by the colonel to bring Miss Rounds to see them. In compliance I was favored with a visit to Hill Crest, the sightly and delightful home of Bishop Glossbrenner, where I met his two daughters, Nealie and Josie, and saw a most interesting relic of the past in the shape of a diminutive piano that had once belonged to the Jefferson family.
Another time we were invited to a party at the Cochrans' country place, where the hostesses were Misses Miller and Ginnie Cochran, and the hosts were Messrs. Jim, Bob and Sam, all three members of the Churchville Cavalry. Jim was first lieutenant. That night while playing Blind Man's Bluff, Bob sat in the chair blinded and we all marched around him, each extending a hand to see if he could recognize the passer by. When my turn came he called out, "Yes, yes, this soft, crushable hand is Retta Gooch's". "Wrong! Wrong!" they all screamed. "Well, I'll be hanged!" exclaimed Bob. "I didn't know any other woman on earth had such a hand."
A third trip was three miles west to Oakwood, the estate of Gabriel Hite, to visit his daughter Ella, who became my devoted friend. Next a ride three miles east of Staunton to Bear-Wallow the charming country seat of Judge Fultz. There I was delighted to meet his wife and daughters, Puss and Gussie. Also Mr. John Alby, the tenor of the 1st Presbyterian church choir, a musician as well as a vocalist, and a successful clothier of Staunton. He was then courting Gussie, who later became his wife and was the sweet mother of Libbie Alby, a missionary to Korea with the Rev. Mr. Buhl, her husband.
Another treat that Col. Sterrett gave me was attending a concert in town, "The Cantata of Queen Esther". We put up at the Virginia Hotel and drove back next morning.
But of all my good times that never to be forgotten that autumn, the Tournament at Stribling Springs was the climax! How eager, glad and happy I was when that fair morning I saw the colonel's handsome turnout and spanking bays drive up to the Loch Willow stile. Glorious the day and drive of six miles to that romantic resort, where a large hotel and several rows of pretty cottages, two alum, a sulphur and Chalybeate spring. An enjoyable dinner over, the excited crowds gathered at the Tournament grounds. And I was at last to witness a real old Virginia Tournament! Soul stirring band music echoed and re-echoed through forest and from rocky mountain side. The knights in gay and varied costume mounted on their restless steeds looked handsome and "eager for the fray". Col. Sterrett, the Herald ("noblest knight of all") sat his fine charger like a commanding general, as he announced the names of the riders, while one by one, each dashed forward and essayed to cast his spear through the coveted ring in the arch over his head. How hearty and contagious the cheering when the Herald announced the name of the successful knight who had won the honor of dancing with the "Queen of Love and Beauty" at the coming Ball! And also when the 2nd and 3rd honors were conferred on the two knights who had won the privilege of dancing with the two maids of her royal Majesty, the Queen! That night I wore my black and green silk; The fashionable flowing sleeves worn with embroidered lace undersleeves having several strips of pink ribbon run through the meshes lengthwise. At my neck and in my hair were bows of the same becoming color. At 9 o'clock the ball opened with a burst of dance music -- amid profuse floral decorations -- pretty young girls beautifully gowned, brilliant lights, and gay knights in costume; the Queen in crown and diamonds; the Maids of Honor none the less lovely. The whole scene combined to present a picture rivalling any Vanity Fair! Early in the evening Rob Ruff (2nd lieutenant of the Churchville Cavalry) asked if I would join him in the next set. When I thanked him, saying "I never dance", he replied, "Well, Miss Rounds, I cannot doubt your word, but still I am convinced that anyone who can sing and play like you could certainly dance." I noticed, however, that the gallant and handsome lieutenant had no difficulty in securing a partner. My noble Prince Charming was a most graceful dancer, but that night he declined to take the floor, declaring he would prefer a promenade with me in the hall or on the long piazza among the Chinese lanterns and where we could hear the music and chat uninterruptedly, and I verily believe we were the happiest couple at that Tournament Ball!
Before November was over Retta and I had begun to plan for some Christmas gayeties at Loch Willow, in which all our circle agreed. So it was decided we would have three entertainments. 1st, an oyster stew; 2nd, a Christmas Tree; 3rd, some tableaux. So I was at Willow Glen with Retta more than usual, especially when getting up the costume of Minnehaha, a character for which I was unanimously chosen. I remember that amid the tryings on and dressings (behind closed doors) old Capt. Sterrett would knock at Retta's door and beg to come in and see how I looked, remarking that that was all he would see of those wonderful tableaux. So Retta gave him an occasional peep, which pleased him mightily and always after that he called me "Little Indian Girl" and would pull me down on his lap and ask me "Whatever makes your eyes so bright?"
The tree was very popular and well patronized. All had been busy making gifts and I did a monochromatic for Frank and made a pine cone watch case lined and faced in blue plush and edged with blue chenille cord. I did another in pink for Bob Ruff, but he was too jealous to come to our splendid tree, so never got his gift.
All three of our social efforts were successful, but No. 3 was the best. Our scenes were from Longfellow's Hiawatha, and Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the latter "Uncle Tom" was personated by the Sterrett's oldest slave, grey headed Uncle Kit Matthews, and Nannie Gooch made the loveliest "Eva". In the former we had a veritable wigwam, outside of which sat old "Nicomis" (Mr. N. H. Hotchkiss). Bob Ruff was Hiawatha and I the dusky Minnehaha. When I tripped down the stairs to the library door to be ready for my time, there stood Bob Ruff in blanket, paint and feathers, and when he saw me in flowing hair, black silk waist low neck and short sleeves, bordered with white fur, decorated with many strings of beads and spangles and tinsel ornaments on red petticoat and beaded moccasins, he exclaimed, "Oh, you beautiful Minnehaha! The character suits you admirably", and I was thankful when the cheering stopped and the curtain dropped for my turn! Frank liked me in all, but admired me most in Light in Darkness. Footlights lowered to enhance the effect, my hair floating over back and shoulders, costume white, gauzy and soft, attitude one of rapt devotion, hands clasped and eyes looking upward. It and Hiawatha were encored heartily.
Thus swiftly and happily sped September, October and November. And December was passing and with it the most important event of my life, when I gave my hand and heart and future life into the keeping of another! I recalled the last evening before I left home, when sitting on my father's lap and brushing his hair and whiskers, he said, "Allie, I shall miss all these loving ministrations of yours when you are gone." "Papa," I said, "Do you know I am never going to marry until I find a man as near like you as possible, tall, blue eyes, fair skin and dark hair." But now I had found his counterpart in Col. Francis Franklin Sterrett, and we were engaged provided my parents did not object, Aunt Sara and Uncle Jed having heartily approved of the match, and my whole heart and soul being involved, my father and mother gave their willing consent and on Dec. 3l, 1860, Frank's 39th birthday, he called me his future bride!
Although frequently hearing the distant but angry mutterings of approaching War, little did we imagine a cruel 4 years' war would interfere and separate us! Despite the pranks of mischievous students at the lower house, "the colonel" continued his regular visits to Loch Willow. Sometimes on a dark night he found himself halted on his homeward way by a rope stretched across the road, which caught him just under the chin and temporarily intercepted the progress of horse and rider.
1861
January 1861
In January an unusual snow of 6 or 8 inches fell, whereupon the "hurry jumpers" were knocked together and presses into immediate use ere the snow should melt. I shared with other girls in the exciting, unexpected and ungraceful precipitate plunges into convenient snowdrifts! Our escorts pleaded "not guilty" when we emphatically declared our belief that complicity had designed these "unpremeditated" accidents' So we joked and laughed over our slaying adventures as best we could.
Through the kindness of my friends I witnessed two novel scenes that winter. A cake walk and dance of the Willow Glen servants and a "darkey wedding" at the home of a friend of the Sterretts to which they and I were invited. Both were comical, mirthful and hilarious affairs to black and white alike. The refreshments proved "tip top" and tony and lavishly prepared by these slaves and by them also dispensed to those "down at the house" as well as all at the "quarters."
But alas! fun and social recreations were fast being relegated to the background and fiery political speeches took their places. For "coming events cast their shadow before". The two antagonistic factions of North and South were daily growing more and more embittered and determined. The one declaring slavery must and shall go; the other vowing never to give up their slave property by force.
Jan. 24, 1861.
Frank called for me with new sleigh to take me to hear speeches of Augusta candidates for State Convention. Col. John B. Baldwin (a sweet, kingly looking man) spoke kindly and charitably of the north and so did all except Capt. Imboden.
February 1861
Feb. 15.
Frank sent me "Dixie". Charmed with song, words and all. Sung and played for Uncle Jed, Aunt Sara and everybody -- all delighted.
Feb. 18.
President Davis inaugurated at Montgomery, Ala. The Peace Congress, with its 22 delegates from states north, south and west, met and adjourned with no apparent result than an increasing tendency towards war rather than peace. During this month (Feb.) commissioners from the Confederate States went to Washington to assist in a plan with Secretary of War (Seward) for a just and honorable peace adjustment, but were repulsed. Then followed news of great activity at the Navy Yard of New York, and later the departure of 75 ships for Fort Sumpter. The South having seceded and established its first Confederate Capitol at Montgomery, Ala., President Davis authorized, through his Secretary of War, the military protection of Charleston and ordered General Beauregard to go to Ft. Sumpter with 60,000 men and demand its immediate evacuation by Colonel Anderson and his whole force. Colonel Anderson refusing, the bombardment of Fort Sumpter began April 12 and lasted 22 hours, a grand and terrible sight which the fleet watch, but did not participate in. Providentially not a life was lost on either side. Colonel Anderson and his force left in order with music, and all their personal and material belongings. Thus commenced the most cruel and determined war (of four years) the world has ever seen.
March 1861
Abraham Lincoln, the president, was inaugurated on March 4th and issued his Emancipation Proclamation March 12th. Fort Brown, Texas, surrendered to Texas commissioners.
April 1861
April 15,
Lincoln issued proclamation calling for 75,000 troops, and convening Congress on July 4 amounting to a declaration of war. (1787 the Federal compact for the Union was made.)
April 20.
We hear of a bloody riot yesterday in Baltimore in which several lives were lost on both sides. Same day occurred blockade of all seceded states! Churchville Cavalry often drilling.
April 22.
Frank in Richmond.
April 23.
Package came to me at Loch Willow from Frank an elegant portfolio, with gold pen and pencil combination, and the sweetest of notes.
At Montgomery call issued for volunteers and Congress also adopted a Confederate Flag. Very like the U. S. flag. Instead of 13 stripes it has 3 large bars and 7 stars. Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee have withdrawn from the Union and become members of the Confederacy!
April 26.
Been busy making knapsacks for rebel troopers. Ladies here cutting out and making uniforms for the Churchville Cavalry Company. Work at Odd Fellow's Hall early and late. Mr. Arnold was formerly a tailor and helps night and day.
May 1861
May 13.
Saddest day I ever saw. Went to Odd Fellow's hall at 7:30 to sew, after bidding adieu to Capt. Grinnan, Mr. Galt and Bob Fisher. I gave Mr. Fisher a testament. At Hall Nannie Gooch handed me a dear note and apple from Frank. Afterwards gave me a beautiful boquet himself. Ladies provided a nice cold lunch for whole Company, after which Mr. Walker made most excellent and appropriate remarks and Mr. Arnold (Methodist minister) offered prayer. Then followed the sad farewells of mothers, wives, sisters, sweethearts and friends! Many a strong man quivered with emotion and tears fell from eyes unused to weep! We watched the cavalrymen as they mounted, whirled into line, waved their hats, and galloped out of night, leaving aching hearts to mourn their departure. They belonged to the army of Northern Virginia and were bound for West Virginia.
These "War notes" seem like a "bridge of sighs" as I read over journal from early in January and the social and home news seem like sweet rippling music of the stream underneath the sad "bridge". So I will copy verbatim a few pages by way of relief.
1861
January 1861
Jan. 11.
Evening. All in the pleasant library at Loch Willow listening to Uncle Jed read a speech of Secretary Seward's -- so politic, logical and artful.
Jan. 25.
A visit to Alice Hanger's home "Woodlawn" on Friday evening. Saturday it stormed, but we sat in our easy chairs around the blazing fireplace, played games, cracked nuts and jokes, ate apples and named the seeds.
Sunday, 1 P. M.
Turkey dinner and ice cream. To Bible class evening and home with Retta and Nannie to Willow Glen.
Monday morning.
Frank took me and Nannie over to Loch Willow in sleigh, -- a short ride first, my last this winter, no doubt. After school in P. M. rode over with Nannie on "Billy". Night after moon-rise Retta, Frank and I went out serenading. 1st. Mrs. Harvey Bear; 2nd, Dr. Hamilton's; 3rd, Henry Seig's to serenade Kate and Angie. My guitar strings did not break and we fairly astonished ourselves! Closed up with a serenade to Rebecca Sterrett.
Jan. 29.
Heard to-day that Mr. Harvey Bear tho't he heard angels singing in his room last night!
February 1861

Feb. 4.
Frank wrote in my Diary: "Election day for State Convention, voted for Baldwin, Stuart and Baylor. Hope I gave judicious votes. If Northern and Southern representatives were as friendly as two of their constituents, the prevailing difficulty could soon be settled!"
Feb. 26. 5:30 P. M.
Rode horseback behind Aunt Sara to Mrs. Harvey Bear's. Met Retta Gooch there and her admirer, Dr. R. S. Hamilton. Soon Frank came. I was most agreeably surprised! A succession of surprises, for almost immediately my guitar made its appearance! Next and last, two pieces of music from Wm. B. Sterrett and Frank had brought in his pocket a huge rosy apple.
March 1861
March 2.
"Burly Gundy" (Retta's slave) came over for me. Started early for the woods with Retta, Nannie and Lora, with baskets for mosses, etc. Found forest treasures innumerable, filling our baskets, and making new discoveries of mossy nooks, miniature caves and fairy-like grottoes. Then from our restful rustic seats enjoyed pretty views of Loch Willow, Churchville and the meandering creek gleaming here and there in the valley below. Spent pleasant hour chatting or reading as the mood took us, until Rebecca Sterrett came and Mrs. Bear, both joining us in a nice lunch of cakes and apples, after which we were both loth to leave our forest resort and wend our way homewards.
March 7. P.M.
after school Uncle Jed, Prof. Oswald Grinnan and "Miss Allie" went down to the mill and were weighed. Uncle Jed 159, Prof. Grinnan 169 lbs.; I, 134-1/4. Then Professor and I continued our walk away over the hill to catch pretty sunset views and to look at the debris of Jan. 7 freshet. waves looked like burnished gold in rays of setting sun.
March 9. P.M.
after lessons, Frank called to take me to Bob Cochran's. Really went not only by water, but through it!
March 24.
Frank home with me, after Sunday P. M. Bible class at Lutheran Church. Was called upon to act in new capacity of hostess and nurse. Christened my handsome china cup most agreeably.
March 26.
On my room table found notes from Retta Gooch and Frank. Beside latter two sweet oranges. After school P. M. analyzed Hepatica and Spring Beauties. Do not bloom in Ahwagha Valley until May. Before tea a ramble with dear Sarah among "the cedars" for wild flowers. Adam Lee and Mr. Taylor left their fishing to climb the rocks and get floral specimens for us. Said it was too windy to fish and so attended us in our walk. After supper Annie had a fearful spell of croup, to which she was subject. Very ill until midnight.
March 29.
My mother's birthday. P. M. at 3:30 went over to auction at store. A great jam. Frank found me a seat. Saw Bettie Eidson and Mag. Baylor for the first time. Left at 6 o'clock. After tea Frank came laden with good things as usual; apples, books, etc. Surprised me with a beautiful veil from auction!
March 31.
Frank took me to Union Church. Enjoyed ride and services very much.
April 1861
April 4. P. M.
Frank called for me with double buggy. I soon put on my wraps and new veil and we drove to Staunton, 6 miles. Left wraps at Virginia Hotel and we repaired to Rankin's gallery to have my picture taken for Frank. Before tea a pleasant call in hotel parlor from Mr. Alby. Admire his goodness, sincerity and refinement. He is a hump backed man, but his face is so pure, almost spiritual, language so choice and manners so charming. No wonder everybody loves him. Has fine business talent, a large clothing store, and is tenor singer in the choir of the Presbyterian Church, and quite an instrumentalist on flute and piano. Evening, 8 o'clock. Frank took me to attend a Band Concert at the Armory. Band looked superb in their new uniforms and with silver instruments glistening in an artificial light. "Dixie" created a furor of delight! Orchestra of stringed instruments very sweet. This brass band became later the famous "Stonewall Band" of Staunton. We put up at hotel for the night and returned to Churchville in the morning.
April 11.
Watched with sad interest the Cavalry drill on the hill. Frank gone to Richmond to procure arms for his company. From 8:30 to 3 P. M. ladies sewing on knapsacks for the cavalrymen. Everybody excited and stirring. Kate Seig practiced with Mr. Cook's revolver. Ladies all came over to watch the drill at 4 P. M. Met Retta, Becca, Gennie and Miller Cochran, &c. Evening in library to hear Uncle Jed read the news.
April 21.
News by stage that Harper's Ferry had been taken by Virginia troops and intercepted a train of cars loaded with Federal soldiers and powder to blow up armory and arsenal!

April 23.
1:30 P. M. Was giving Nannie music lesson when a package arrived for me, --lovely portfolio with Frank's picture inside, a sweet note, and gold pen and pencil! 4 P. M. Watched Cavalry drill, admirably done. Swords flashed in sunlight and bugle played at intervals. Their noble Captain looked very handsome and rode superbly. I was justly proud of "My own brave Cavalier". Evening, 8 o'clock. He came again to Loch Willow to honor my 24th birthday! Lovely moonlight night, windows open to the breeze.
April 25.
Down in Laboratory watching Uncle Jed's experiments for his chemistry class. Made a solid out of a fluid,-- a fluid of two solids. Small lump of sugar contained the carbon. Experimented with phosphorous, &c. &c.
April 26.
Analyzed botanical specimens with Lizzie Kunkel; wild columbine, Carolina Vetch, saxafrage, etc., for an hour. Beautiful denizens of the rocks and woodlands! So frail and yet so pure, innocent and heavenlike. Friday, April 26. Lovely boquet by Annie from "Uncle Frank."
April 27.
Surprised at breakfast by a "private dish" by my plate! Upon inquiry Bob Fisher (who sat next to me ) remarked: "I went out hunting last evening and got you a bird!" "What kind?" I asked. "Well, I will consult a Natural History and then tell you the common and classical names", he said. I ate the bird and when I called it "so delicious" everybody laughed and I discovered I had eaten and enjoyed a pair of Frog's Legs! And I have relished them ever since whenever I was so fortunate as to obtain such an epicurean dish! At 9 o'clock walked over to the store and on to Willow Glen with Mrs. N. H. Hotchkiss. Found Retta (Gooch) there and soon after who should walk in but Frank! Gave me a sweet "good morning" and showed me his fine new revolver. Col. Crawford came before noon; spoke admiringly of Frank; asked for guitar music and for "Dixie", the song Southern soldiers love best. Pleasant ramble with Nannie. Evening Frank brought me letter from Pa and Ma. Both very anxious about my safety and begging me to try and get home while I could. Sat out in grape arbor with Retta. Soon Dr. Hamilton, Mr. Sam Bell and Bob Ruff came all to tea. After, guitar music and Retta and I sang duets, &c. At 8 o'clock all repaired to Lutheran Church to attend the "Sing". Mr. Bell my escort to Loch Willow. Uncle Jed called me to come to library and read my home letters. Then he said I could not and should not go home. Was safe here. Unsafe to travel now. Prof. Grinnan made a captain today!
May 1861
Frank wrote in my dairy as follows: "May 2nd. Morn. Read Richmond Dispatch. 8 P.M. A sweet visit to Allie. Felt too sad to talk much. Joy and sorrow mingled. My unhappy country! O, that I could avert the blow now ready to crush thy power!"
May 3rd.
"Gloomy day. Paid Uncle Sam Sterrett a visit at Riverside. Heard he wished to see me before I left for Harper's Ferry."
May 4th.
"Jim Cochran dined with me 2 P. M. Cavalry drill. Day bright and bracing. 5 P.M. Political speech at Lutheran Church by Professor Hotchkiss. Glad to see Allie there. Met her on street. After sweet smile, dismounted, gave 'Uncle Jed' Billy to ride and away we two went, and Mrs. Jed Hotchkiss and Retta to Willow Glen to tea. All had such a nice visit. 10 P. M. with Allie to Loch Willow. Cheerful visit in library till 12."
May. 8
Bob Fisher asked me at breakfast if I would make him a pair of trousers for his uniform. Promised I would. Worked hard on them all day in Mrs. N. H.'s room, before tea nearly done. After, walk to the "Cedars" with Sarah. Bob Fisher, Mr. Lee and Mr. Taylor joined us shortly. Enjoyable ramble. Had letter today from Papa, unexpected, but sweet and cheerful. Evening. Read news in library.
And now follows many blank pages in my 1861 pocket diary. A prolonged spell of inflammation of the bowels caused me much suffering and my friends feared I would not recover. But a kind Providence watched over me; Dr. Hamilton was devoted in his administrations; kept ice on my head and my dear pupils took turns in watching every night and all in the house were kind and good to me.
I copy from notes on separate slip of paper, made before I quite succumbed to illness, caused by over-exertion in sewing on heavy materials for soldiers.
"May 18. Uncle Jed rode in from from town. Brought me letter from Frank at McDowell dated 17th May. Uncle Jed an excellent one, too. Never more welcome letter than mine! Wrote sheet in reply. Soldiers in fine health and spirits and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery."
May 20.
"North Carolina seceded!"
May 25.
"Very warm. I sewed at 0. F. Hall all day. Excellent picnic dinner down stairs, -- chicken sandwiches, pickles, pies, cakes, &c. and coffee. Henry Seig brought up to the sewing room 4 long strips. I basted, Aunt S. did machine work. Done and sent away before six. Evening, rested."
May 26.
"Retta sent buggy for me to go with her to Hebron Church. Pleas. ride. Pretty church in large oak grove, full of horses and vehicles. Sermon by Dr. McFarland; sacramental occasion. Dr. McFarland referred to 'our distracted country', very solemn service. After church Retta took in Betty Eidson and we rode over to Meg Baylor's, an invalid, but looks so noble and liked her much. Beautiful home on an eminence, fine view, saw part of Lewisburg Cavalry and their wagons. Lovely ride home after dinner. Scenery along Middle River charming and at the village of West View from its high and commanding situation."
May 29. Morn.
"Sweet flowers from Nannie Gooch and Retta Bear. Read "Richmond Examiner". Alexandria full of Federal troops. Washington almost deserted! No mails and no departures from or arrivals at city. Pres. Davis and Cabinet leaving Montgomery for Richmond. To be the new Capitol! Nannie drawing lesson and heard class in astronomy. Fixing over striped lawn."
June 1861
June 6.
"Just heard that Retta Gooch had been thrown from her carriage in town and had ankle broken. Kate Seig with her and much bruised. Poor Retta was taken to Mr. Young's. Feel so sad and am sick myself."
June 7.
"News received of grand battle at Great Bethel, near Yorktown, Va. Splendid victory gained by 11,000 N. Carolina troops under Gen. McGruder over 4,500 troops under Brig'r. Gen. Pierce. Fought 4 hrs., pursued and drove enemy back to Hampton. Southern loss, l killed, 7 wounded. Federal loss, several hundred."
June 8.
"At Staunton with Retta. Artillery from Danville arrived. Saw them disembark, unload, etc. Retta been moved so she can look out of window. Puss Fultz to dinner and spent night with us. Call also from Dr. Reynolds. Retta sang several pieces with me (and guitar) for both. Mrs. Tait and daughter called with flowers for Retta. Like Mrs. Tait much."
June 17.
"Loch Willow. Gathered and ate strawberries with Lizzie Kunkel."
June 18.
"Went over to see Becca. Sewed all day on Frank's clothes. Pleasant time. Sarah over to tea and my company home later. I looked long and earnestly at the picture of "Soldier's Dream of Home" before I left. Think must copy. That eve. 9:30 Uncle Jed came. Brought me a letter from Frank at Beverly, W. Va."
June 2l.
"Letter from Frank, almost too sick to read it. Uncle J. offered his services, but were promptly but politely declined. That letter was a great comfort that night."
I now copy from another paper.
"Notes on the 1st battle of Civil War in Virginia. This encounter occurred June l, 186l, at Phillippi, W. Va., not far from the home of Eveline Sterrett Hite, 'Cherry Hill'. A letter soon after from F. described the 1st shot as wounding Jimmie Hanger, of his company (Churchville Cavalry) so severely that he had to lose his leg! He had run away from school to enlist as a southern soldier boy and it seemed sad that his military career was cut short as soon as it begun! But he was led to study over his misfortune and try to manufacture an artificial leg for himself and succeeded so well that he ultimately established several manufactories making artificial arms and legs for maimed soldiers! Frank wrote me that the enemy surprised the "Rebs" so suddenly that his Cavalry Co. had to make precipitate flight, leaving behind horses, tents and baggage; among the "spoils" was Frank's valise, and the following day one of my letters was published in the "Wheeling Intelligencer" headed 'A model love-letter'! A very aggravating and mortifying fact to Frank and me! So he asked me to burn every letter of his and all he should write me thereafter! That was a heart breaking request, but he declared he should destroy all of mine. So I planned to try and save my precious war-treasures. Put them in a close wooden box and secreted the box under one of the floor-planks of the attic at Loch Willow. Southern women everywhere were hiding their silver and other valuables in safe places and I felt quite comforted when I thought my letters were safe forever! But alas! when Frank wrote again, he said 'Did you burn my letters?' Then I had to confess what I had done and Frank said it would not be safe to leave them there. And so fate obliged me to destroy what would now prove most interesting heirlooms to my children and grandchildren, and would have afforded an excellent war-history of experiences from the pen of an eye witness during the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia."
July 1861
July l0.
Clothes on once more and sitting up like a very weak 'lady'. Was carried down in rocker by Mr. N. H. Hotchkiss and Amanda to parlor. Found Mrs. Sam Wilson there.

Martin brought me chicken, sponge cake and berries. George a harvest boquet and message from his father. Siddie a letter from Frank to her mother.

Becca brought letter from F. in which he wrote 'enemy in sight!' Calls from Kate and Angie Seig. All very much excited over news from some returning soldiers. Say has been a severe battle and Jim Wilson and Mr. Twyman killed. Frank slightly wounded. I cannot believe such bad news!

Sept. 25.
Mrs. N. H. and I drove to Mrs. Walker's, beyond Union Church. Found Dr. Hamilton there. That was pleasant, especially when an hour later Retta arrived on the scene with Jim Cochran. Latter so entertaining. All glad together. I saw Miss Harriet Hendren's paintings (oil colors and without a teacher!) Gave her some suggestions, at her own request. Such raw, crude effects I never before witnessed! Mrs. Walker sand and played Dixie with wonderful animation for a minister's dignified wife! (Had my guitar.) Sung and played songs with Retta. Mrs. Walker fell in love with 'Gentle words and loving smiles'. Delightful ride home after such a feast of good things as the Hendren sisters were celebrated for offering to their guests. At L. W. found Mrs. N. H. had received letter from Uncle Jed, who had been very sick! On way home from Green Bank. My poor, dear Uncle Jed. Mr. N.

Took our books along and read under the willows by the brook near the dam. When we returned to house found Retta back from Union. Josie Glossbrenner called and both of us left at sundown. Before we left Ben Crawford came for grapes for poor Bob Cochran. Dr. H. with him. Heard Jas. A. Frazier is very low, not expected to live when they left. Was in battle of Greenbrier River. Only 4 on our side killed - an artillery fight.
Oct. 6.
Before church read in "Body & Mind". Retta called for me, but rest went to Union in big wagon. The woods so brilliant with red sumac, red vines, yellow patches made contrasts so vivid in sunlight.
Oct. 20.
Made so happy by Uncle J's return at dusk. I was the first to see and meet him. Flew down the stairs and rushed into his arms as soon as I saw him speaking to servants in the yard. Met me so cordially and looked so cheerful, bright and noble; more like old times than since war begun! Uncle J. in best of spirits. Sent word to Papa about me by Col. Segoine of 11th N. Y. Regt. Col. S. gave Uncle J. his sword! I'll finish letter to Ettie and send back by him. Les[added: son] that A. M. to Allie Hanger, Lee Dudley and Sue Wilson. Uncle J. gave me a pocket diary and some stationery. So glad to get both. P. M. Uncle J[added: ed]. came up to my room, admired my picture and Frank's - approved my system of teaching. Kindly inquired as to my needs. Said I should have everything he could possibly get for me. Must make out a list of items and give to him. Showed me his Sketch Book. Maps and various battle-fields, different positions of Jackson's camps. Had sketched all the country as he rode along from camp near Winchester here! A sketch of Gen. Jackson pleased me greatly. Easy, natural attitude - bending over dispatch just received.
Thurs, Oct. 3.
Uncle J.[added: ed] came up to my room to say good-bye. Was so sunny and buoyant. I sent my letter addressed to Cousin Chas. Sanford, Binghamton, N. Y.
Oct. 24.
Lovely weather. Mrs. Allen called to pay me Ella's bill of $9.00.
Oct. 31.
Allie Hanger called with buggy to take me home with her to Woodlawn. Said Miss Bettie said must take music along. Woods so lovely, charming drive. We met several army wagons loaded. Reminded me of a lonely traveler pursuing his homeward war from Kanawha! Wished I could be a little sprite and fly west to meet him. Enjoyed eve. much with Miss Bettie and Miss Mollie, &c. Their piano so sweet toned. All seemed to relish my pieces and it made it easier to play the difficult ones. Mr. Lightner entertained me with some episodes of his college life at Schenectaday, N. Y. Admired our northern writers.
November 1861
Sat.
A. M. sped with music and call from Rev. Mr. Preston and wife. They admired "Beautiful Zion", which I had just taught the girls. Mr. P. sang tenor to it and bass to "Beautiful Star". I admired him as extravagantly in the social circle as in the pulpit! P. M. Sweet ride home to Lock Willow.
Nov. 1.
Mr. Booth returned from Richmond with following articles for me, at war prices:
Pair kid gloves $3.50
1 paper of pins 1,00
Collar & cuffs 5.00
"Hoop skirts were $15.00, calico per yard $2.50. Unbleached cotton was $1.00 per yard, black silk $10.00. Cloaks $150.00."

Nov. 22.
A 'long, long, weary day', with lessons in drawing, piano and vocal classes. Was surprised when Nannie came in with the message 'Uncle Frank is home and says he's coming to see you to-night.' The hours simply dragged until 7:30 p. m. Then 'Miss Harriet' came up and in the words of one of my most popular guitar songs, gladly announced 'Somebody's waiting for somebody'. I wanted to rush down to the parlor, but tarried a little for spectators to adjourn, but they did not - so the longed for meeting was robbed of its romance. But I love to think of the dear face that met my first glance after a separation of six months! Of the tall, elegant man that rose to meet me - the tones of that sweetest, richest voice in all the world. How musical it sounded after the silence of so many interminable weeks of prolonged absence!
Nov. 23.
Eve. Sarah finished reading aloud to me Snot Bird, I busy sewing on my new debaige dress - thinking gay and happy thoughts the while!
Nov. 24.
Attended services at Lutheran church. Spied a splendid looking cavalry officer in congregation. Fell deeply in love with him. Such a figure, eyes and smile I'm sure no other man possesses! Eve. A visit from that very same man - too happy a time for words to describe!

Dec. 31.
A public Dramatic & Musical Entertainment given at Loch Willow by the "Churchville Ladies Association for the Soldiers". Through the assistance and handiwork of Mr. N.H. Hotchkiss the suite of parlor (with folding doors between) passage and library were transformed into a theatre. We had raised seats in library for an audience, a stage in parlor, with foot lights, a drop curtain with design of Confederate Flag (stars and bars) and beneath it the motto 'Our Brave Defenders.' Orchestra consisted of a Steinway piano and my music and singing classes. Admittance $1.00. Performance at 7:30 p. m., when curtain rose and a trio 'Overture to Tancrede' was given by self, Sarah Hotchkiss and Allie Hanger at one piano. (Mr. Booth stage manager, Mr. Lickliter doorkeeper.)

Jan. 20, 1863.
Been ill - in bed two weeks. Friends [added: have] been so very kind. Allie Hanger came three times, bro't me bottle blackberry wine 3 years old! from her mother. Can oysters from 'a constant friend' - who called often. Only doctor I had as Dr. Hamilton was awy. We discussed changes to be made in the spring when Mr. N. H. should sell Lock Willow, and the removal. Its bearings upon our future. A separation was inevitable. At 7 p. m. girls almost carried me down to parlor. Had biggest kind of fire in fireplace - so warm and cozy. Piano had been drawn up towards fire. First time I had played for so long! I enjoyed it once more. All children in to see and hear me and some of the servants, too, - a real family party. When I becaue weary I lay down and the girls played for me. Mr. N.H. and wife and Mr. Harvey called in to see 'Miss Allie'. Snow nearly a foot deep! I hope for a sleigh ride soon.
Jan. 21.
Wednesday. Getting stronger fast. Sewed all day on new poplin dress. Eve. Borne off at fairy-like speed over the snow by side of same constant friend who gave me my first Virginia sleigh ride in 1860. At dusk found myself snugly seated in Mrs. Sam Wilson's own room disposing of a tempting little 'snack'. Watched the stowing away to bed of two rosy lipped boys. Pet Charlie's eyes soon closed by the gentle rocking of his crib, but the little fat hands of Loydie suddenly unclasped and his childish voice sang, 'I wish I was in the land ob cotton'. Then after one verse, he asked, 'Mama, please take me up - I forgot to kiss Miss Allie goodnight.' It was sweet to embrace the childish form, have the soft round arms about my neck, to press my lips to that rosy mouth, and sweet memories of scenes in my own home rushed over me in that peaceful moment.
Jan. 22nd.
Snow melting fast. Felt depressed all eve. but all here at Lock Willow met me so cordially - children welcomed me at Mrs. N.H.'s door and fairly carried me to a rocker - took off my wraps and begged to know if I was quite well now, chatting of all that had happened while I was away. Lora surprised me with some neat pencellings of flowers. Sarah showed me her poor fingers, so sore from practising guitar 6 hrs. a day! Later Sarah and Lora bore me up to my pleasant room, a cheerful fire and freshly reddened hearth. Soon seated between the dear girls. Loral read me some stories she wished me to hear; Sarah sewed, looking up often with beaming smile into my face, as if to say, 'I love you just as dearly as if you were my oldest sister!' Presently a servant brought up a letter to me from my dear Uncle Jed, affectionate and cheerful, just like himself. Gave to L. & S. to read and a happy trio enjoyed it together.
February 1863
Feb. 2.
Mr. N.H. Hotchkiss gone across Blue Ridge to look at a farm on James River. At night all in Mrs. N.H.'s room. Mr. Diedrich came with his violin and scattered cheer with its merry strains - which brought us all down stairs in a hurry; after supper to Mrs. N.H.'s large sitting room. In background servants were keeping time with thumbs and claps, all a very agreeable experience to me, such a relaxation after school duties of the day, for which I was physically unfitted. The jolly dance music led me to forget there was ought beside in this world of weariness and woe. My ear was charmed; my heart and spirits lightened. My eye was fascinated watching Lora, a natural ballet dancer, in her unstudied but graceful evolutions - readily carrying out a few suggestions I gave her and so perfectly as to surprise us all. I never can forget how beautiful she looked in her green muslin, without hoops, her glossy, jetty hair streaming over back and shoulders in massive waves - face and neck so fair by contrast - raven tinted brows and lashes, her finely chiseled lips glowing more and more like rubies every moment! White teeth gleaming out like pearls, eyes darkly bright but firm in their expression as usual whole face so sweet and attractive, indicitive, I felt sure, of a strong character. Wish I could paint her portrait, not with a pen, but with a brush as she looked when she arched her arms above her head, hair floating back in the air as she poised herself on toe of one foot before swinging around so queen like! I admire the lovely casket, but far more the soul gem it enshrines! Olive took the floor to-night for the first time in her life - seemed perfectly inspired by the jolly music. I wished her father could see her. Mr. Diedrich played several times for her to dance alone and she just seemed to float away on the gay airs. We were all convulsed by the antics of her little black kitten, which followed her in and out of every figure, whirling when Olive whirled, but with such an utter lack of grace and agility that our screaming applause seemed to mortify Tabby, for she soon skuttled away and could no more be prevailed on to supply merriment for the crowd!
Feb. 5.
Another delightful visit at Woodlawn (Mrs. Eidson's) with Sarah, Lora, Lee Dudley, Allie Hanger, Nannie Gooch, Retta and John Henry Hite. Went in big wagon - two mules - two horses. Had waited a week for roads to get dry, so started though traveling only tolerable - but we had a jolly ride. Went Friday - returned Sunday p. m. Sorry Frank could not be with us. Saturday snowed all day and that night. Had Maggie Eidson and Dr. R. S. Hamilton in the load going home and a slow ride, but as J. Henry Hite said 'We'd been visiting and had lots of fun.'
March 1863
March 28. Sat.
A rainy but happy, cozy day at Willow Glen. Morn. Frank copied lists for me, $112. Spent some time singing with and playing for Miss Bettie Eidson, their guest from Woodlawn (Mr. Henry Eidson's) and reading 'Wait and See' by Virginia Townsend. Now and then when parlor was quiet and deserted mysteriously interrupted in midst of some interesting paragraph, but relished the pauses notwithstanding. Cleared off at sunset and so Frank and I rode horseback over the hills and fields to salt the cattle - get fresh air and fine views. After tea sung again with Miss Bettie Frank's two favorites, 'Come away, love' and 'Ever be happy'.
April 1863
April 8.
Frank wrote in my diary as follows: 'Attended M. E. Ch. Mr. Arnold preached. Allie there looking as lovely as ever. Visted her after tea. To my surprise found her out dining, but soon returned and we had a nice visit all to ourselves - after dark rained and stormed - good excuse for prolonging my visit. Allie loaned me her shawl to wear home.
April 12.
Cold and windy all day. Attended Uncle David Sterrrett's sale of his property. Large crowd - things brought fabulous prices. Span farm horses $1,000, sale of personal property $8,000. I bought one coverlid $30, 1 linen table cover $10. After sale home with Sam Bell and spent the night. I thought how happy he might be there with all his wealth if only he had a good little wife, and how uncomfortable he was comparatively!
April 13.
Remained housed all day. Wind intensely cold. Played backgammon with Sam a long time. Eve. Braved the weather to seek ladies' society in company with my bachelor friend Sam. H. Bell. At sundown found ourselves at Woodlawn. Miss Bettie away. Mollie, Lina and Alice at home. After tea played whist, Mollie my partner. Sat. morn. started home, still very cold. On way home called on poor Uncle Sam Sterrett. 80 years old, very feeble and lonely. No family to care for or comfort him. Felt very sorry for the poor old man. Home to dinner. P. M. met Siddie Bear on her way to Bishop Glossbrenner's - rode with her. Pleasant ride and call. None of all the girls I met during pat week can compare with my own beautiful Allie!
April 15.
Very cold. Read 2 sermons of Dr. Alexander's on the deceitfulness of the human heart, and closed whole with the passage, 'Who can know it?' More embraced in these 2 sermons than in all the sermons I have heard since New Years.'
Notes to Memoir
And now come many blank pages in my journal covering weeks and months. During this interval occurred the final entertainment at beautiful old Loch Willow mansion, (now 1912 forever passed away) "Coronation of May Queen", a poetic cantata, both recitative and vocal, by different flowers.
The pleasing rendition of this cantata elicited much applause from an appreciative audience, consisting of many soldiers, citizens of Churchville and vicinity, and Staunton, all pronouncing this a "red letter day", with its cantata and concert following at night. The latter, as well as former, given by my vocal and instrumental classes. The Finale was a Refreshment Sale - all conducted for the pleasure and benefit of our brave Southern Soldier boys. At the midnight hour, as we laid our tired heads and weary frames to rest, we felt amply repaid for all our time, trouble and care in arranging this "farewell to Loch Willow".
The lovely poem, "Cantata of the May Queen", was lent us for the occasion by Miss Kate Seig. I afterwards copied it in a blank book and recently had same typewritten by Alice McGee for my Relic Album.
In choosing their queen all concerned, by unanimous vote, selected Miss Allie M. Rounds to represent her majesty, the Rose, as Queen of all the flowers.
Notes to Memoir
And now comes a long interval again of weeks and months, and many blank pages in my diary. But following the Final Entertainment at Lock Willow there occurred several marked changes. First the departure of Mr. N. H. Hotchkiss' dear family to "Sunny Side" farm, on James River, in Buckingham Co., Va., near Howardsville, a sweet place in a grove, on an eminence. I was charmed with its simple, quiet beauty. However, my health began to give way and in the midsummer I returned to Churchville and old Loch Willow, the former seat of Uncle Jed's Preparatory School, and now the home of Aunt Sara and the children, Annie and Nellie. During my short visit at old Loch Willow there occurred an episode in my life that proved to me in a very sad way that "the course of true love never runs smooth." Frank was brought home from the Army of Northern Virginia ill with a very severe attack of rheumatism. He had taken so much morphine to deaden pain it has affected mind, body and nerves and left him "in the depths". He was so blue, so depressed about the war and its outcome, the world looked very dark to him and to me! He knew of my intense desire to see my mother once more in her declining years, but had never yet been willing for me to undertake the perilous task of getting thro' the lines of both armies, Confederate and Federal! But now he relented and was willing I should make the experiment! Saying if he should live and the war ever be over, and the gulf between the north and south was not too deep and wide he would go to my home and marry me! I was paralyzed by this change of sentiment; my pride was touched and my heart deeply wounded. So I bade him good-bye, as I thought forever! How I got back to Loch Willow I know not, but I umbosomed my grief to Aunt Sara and she tried her best to comfort me. That night when I was utterly prostrated and crushed, she read in the bible to me and prayed with and for me.
The next morning I sent Frank a note relinquishing all the past and leaving him free of all care and anxiety about me and returned my engagement ring and all keepsakes &c., all of which were speedily returned, without comment.
My eyes soon began troubling me and I determined to try the sulphur water at Stribling Springs and put myself under the care of Dr. Hendren. So for several weeks I was an inmate of dear Mrs. Chesley Kinne's sweet home on the hill, near the hotel. Her husband was the proprietor and a noble man. To defray board expenses I gave their two daughters music lessons. I was tortured for hours daily with leeches on my temples. But finally and providentially a letter came to me from Miss Mary Julia Baldwin, Augusta Female Seminary, asking if I would come and take Prof. Ettinger's overflow of piano pupils (17) and teach vocal music; that Mrs. Crawford taught all beginners, but Prof. E. had more pupils than he could teach; that between times she would like me to assist the other teachers by classes in Dictation, Botany, History and Latin. Said she needed someone to entertain the boarders our of school hours with charades, plays, etc., such as she knew I possessed a talent for writing and managing. That the town was so full of soldiers much of the time it was not safe for them to take daily walks as heretofore and so there was sad lack of recreation and entertainment. So in Sept. I became a teacher at the A. F. Sem. and roomed with my dear old music pupil, Maggie Eidson (afterwards Mrs. Capt. Pete Wilson) and worked hard, as did all those teachers in wartimes.
I always loved the study of human nature and the A. F. S. boarders offered an interesting field for observation and inspiration - the various girls suggesting topics and characters. I was very busy and took my turn with the other teachers in study hall at night, but managed to write two charades that winter. 1st, Mad-a-gas-car, in 5 scenes - 5th whole word, the Queen of Madagascar. The 1st scene a glimpse in the music room of an insane asylum, where Josie English (daughter of Col. English, and afterward the wife of Dr. Eyster of Balto.), one of the charming flowers of the Sem., represented Jenny Lind and sang with piano several of that Prima Donna's beautiful songs. Queen Victoria was the character I took and after the entertainment was over, as my friends came up to congratulate me on the success of the evening, our pastor, Rev. Wm. E. Baker, shook my hand cordially, saying, "Well, Miss Rounds, I feel sure your feet must have pressed the boards of a theatre, for you have the stage walk and stage step perfectly." He was much surprised when I assured him I had never seen either the outside or the inside of a play house. Because I was a "perfect brunette" the girls had conquered and compelled me to sit on the throne of their Queen and with a full array of my pages and gaily attired attendants, we must have presented, as was remarked, "a most imposing spectacle", for we had ransacked the town for costumes, ornaments and draperies!
I am glad I saved the other charade, "In-dig-na-tion" and have it typewritten for May and my other grandchildren. In the 4th scene of that "tion" (shun) I took the part of the adopted orphan cousin and sung with my guitar the popular southern war songs.
I will now make several extracts from my journal while at the A. F. Sem'y. in Staunton.

Feb. 10, 1864.
Just bought this little pocket diary, only $7.00. A dozen ginger cakes $1.50, apples at $3.00 per dozen! School is over for another week. Work is a blessing and I am kept busy night and day - 17 piano pupils - 2 vocal classes, history, Latin and dictation, and must help Prof. Ettinger get up a musical soiree. Finished 'No Name' by Wilkie Collins. Very fascinating, but am sorry if it gives a true description of the morals of English society. - Looked over an old newspaper, 1st time for 6 mos. Read eloquent and fervent proclamation of Pred. Davis to Army. All Confederates have enlisted for the War! Feeling of hope is predominant at home and in camp. Yesterday sent letter and 9 pieces of music to my Sunny Side girls. The past four weeks have been unusually warm, yet bright and bracing.
Feb. 13.
Returned calls of Mrs. John Kinne, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Va. Waddell, Mrs. Dr. Waddell and Honey Warden. Latter accompanied me to Mrs. Heiskell's and Mrs. Woods. Latter a lovely place in a grove on a hill. Mrs. Forrest in a forest across the road, Blue Ridge just visible between the grand old trees. Reminded me of Mt. Prospect, Binghamton, and happy hours spent there.
Feb. 14.
Cold, bright Sabbath. Mr. Baker's sermon earnest and impressive on Stephen's death. I taught every Sunday p. m. for boarders in church - [added: (]now the M. B. S. chapel and a grand modern church on opposite side of street[added: )].
Feb. 17.
Severely cold. So sorry for the poor thinly clad soldiers out in the mts. Written letters to Jimmie Maslin, Becca and Aunt Sara.
Feb. 19th.
Fri. p. m. After dinner in wagon with Mish and Dunlap girls, going to Mr. George Dunlap's. Pretty cold. Sun a little warm. Girls happy and singing gaily. Took Maggie Eidson and me to within 61/2 miles of Geo. A. Hanger's - walking kept us warm. Pleasant visit. To church Sunday morn. Mr. Preston preached on the Crucifixion. Enjoyed services. P. M. returned to Staunton. An old mill wheel on outskirts was a beautiful sight, with huge, long icicles pendant from the immense wheel.
Feb. 21st.
Thinking more than usual about home and its loved ones. Felt homesick, gloomy and anxious. Determined months ago to get there this summer if possible.
Notes to Memoir
A letter from Papa in which he told me of Mamma's rapid decline, fixed my determination to plan to try to get thro' the lines of both armies, and when I had once decided it was duty, I felt that Providence would help me. So at 4 p. m. I went down to Uncle Jed's office, where Mr. Oeltman and Mr. Robinson were assisting him in drawing maps as fast as he surveyed them. Uncle Jed took a long walk with me and we discussed the situation and he promised to appraise me of any safe opening to start and to help me. all in his power - that if Pa could secure me a pass at Washington he tho't he could procure me one thro' the Confederate lines. This assurance was encouraging and braced my spirits.
The next day I told Miss Baldwin I would like to have a talk with her, but she was busy till after supper. Then she found me on my bed weeping and praying. She was surprised and distressed but did not blame me for leaving them. That day after dinner, as I was waiting in the parlor to give a music lesson, I saw a well known form pass on horseback! I almost felt my heart stop beating. I was glad he had recovered sufficiently to ride into town, but I felt as if. it was a "last look" and I don't know how I ever kept up until Miss Baldwin came. And when she heard all my sad story, she said, "My dear child, I know how you feel. I had just such an experience and I realize how you suffer - just how heartbroken you are." And she took me tenderly in her arms and pillowed my head upon her breast and let me cry, weeping and sympathising with me and tenderly caressing and kissing me like a mother, and with her arms about me, knelt beside my bed and prayed for me as none but an angel could. God bless Miss Mary Julia Baldwin!
The weary days that followed seemed to lengthen into never ending weeks while I waited. Cherished plans failed, cheerful openings suddenly closed up. Fresh opportunities tantalized by quick departure. Hopes were dashed. Prayerful wishes unfulfilled, until March 10th, when I decided to risk going down the valley by stage. One of my dear music pupils, Miss Estelle Hieronimus of Winchester, Va., having asked and received their cordial consent, invited me (through her parents) to go to their home, as soon as I arrived in Winchester, and remain until the coveted Pass from Washington arrived. When I heard of this unlooked for and providential arrangement, my heart leaped for joy! The next Sabbath Mr. Baker rec'd. into the church at communion, a young soldier of 18, with a crippled arm. It was a touching scene when surrounded by his sisters, he partook for the 1st time, the bread and wine!
March 1864
Mon. March 7.
Eve. A goodbye call from dear Uncle Jed. He had just returned from a mt. survey and was about to start off on another. I watched him and his party of engineers gallop out of sight, with a haunting fear that I might never see him again! Letters from dear Sarah at Sunnyside and Jimmy Maslin, Moo[deleted: n][added: r]field, Hardy Co., Va.
Mar. 8.
Even. kept study hall for last time. Was surprised after when 20 of the girls presented me with a parting gift - a tiny gold charm in shape of a gracefully shaped pitcher, with garnet at the mouth! It had cost them $20. A servant called to say Mrs. Wise's spring wagon would come for me next day. At 11 o'clock (p.m.) took several of the girls and serenaded Miss Eliza Howard and then Miss Baldwin.
March 10th.
7:30 A. M. Went with Maggie Eidson to Dr. Jno. Hanger's, as he had offered to get my Confederate money changed into silver. At 10:30 rode out to Churchville in Mrs. Wise's wagon. Comfortable time, despite the wind and rain. Mrs. W. such good company. Found Aunt Sarah sick in bed. Hurried to get trunk ready. Broke down when the good-bye came. Annie and Nellie were quite discomsolate. Current prices in March 1864 were - Ladies' calf skin shoes, $40; Men's cavalry boots, $100; cotton cloth per yd. $4, silk $25; sugar per lb. $10, butter $4; flour $100 per barrel.
Friday, March 11.
Wm, Aunt Sara's man, drove me back to town early in Dr. Wilson's spring wagon. Disagreeable ride in rain. There at 8 o'clock to bid all good-bye at Sem'y. Spent day at Mrs. John Hanger's by previous invitation. Was sick and Mrs. H. gave me some apple brandy and a bottle to take with me. Dr. Hanger got me me a Pass from Commandant of Post. He tried all day to get my Confederate money changed into silver, but only succeeded in getting $7.50 in specie, as it took 26 of Confederate bills to buy one of silver!
March 12th
dawned clear and bright. Three stages in line. I took the middle one. No ladies beside myself. A no. of congressmen from Strasburg - also a Capt. and a colonel. A Capt.C. B. Manton, who used to mess with Uncle Jed, belonged to the old Stonewall Brigade, captured when Gen. Stonewall Jackson was killed - taken to Camp Chase - after some weeks paroled to stay at home! Lived near Berryville, Clark Co. Very agreeable and entertaining. Shared my lunch with Capt. M. and a poor soldier who was going home without money to buy a single meal! Saw Mr. Coffman at Harrisonburg. Called on me at the hotel. Sorry to bid adieu to Capt. Manton at sundown at Mt. Jackson. I could scarcely keep back the tears. Felt so alone and night coming on. Left me in care of Mr. Baker, living 8 miles from Winchester. Moonlight, smooth macadamized pike. 4 hours more - but we travelled fast. Mr. Baker was very kind and attentive, but I grew too weary to be communicative and slept most of the way to Strasburg. There we found only tolerable accommodations. It was eleven o'clock and I was so worn out as to find it difficult to undress. Next morn. was the Sabboth, March 13th.
March 13th.
Mr. Baker kindly assisted me in getting my Pass endorsed by Capt. Davis, commandant of the Post. We encountered some difficulty because my 1st Pass did not have the signatures of persons (public men) whom he knew in Augusta Co. that could identify me. I told him of my Uncle Jed Hotchkiss, one of the Corps of Engineers on Gen.Stonewall Jackson's staff - said yes, he knew Maj. Hotchkiss well and if only had his signature it would be all sufficient. I was in a distressing dilemma! But Mr. Baker vouched for me and my tears seemed to turn the scale - for after one look at my brimming eyes, the provost left me and presently sent in my Pass!
Had a miserable dinner and at 2 p. m. we started in small hack for Wincester, Mr. Baker and I. Had to offer $50 before we could secure a driver and conveyance! Cool, but pleasant ride. Mr. Baker narrating how he was captured and imprisoned by Gen. Milroy - Mr. Baker left me at sundown and I rode alone the rest of the way - 8 miles. Mr. B. had intrusted me with several business letters to deliver to his friend and my future host, Mr. J. P. Heironimus - at whose door I arrived about 8 o'clock and where by Mr. and Mrs. Heironimus I was most cordially and hospitably received, although to them an utter stranger! And generously entertained for three never to be forgotten weeks, while waiting day after day for the desired Pass from Washington, D. C. to reach me. I whiled away many an hour beginning a hexagon worsted quilt - such as I had seen and admired on Grandma McClung's bed in her room at the A. F. Sem., where the girls gathered daily for awhile after supper to be "mothered" by that sweet, delightful old lady, whose gentle, loving influence combined, with that of Miss Agnes McClung, gave a home atmosphere to the Seminary it can never have again. (The matron was Miss Agnes McClung.)
Notes to Memoir
Mother and daughter, "Grandma" and "Aunt Agnes" were so good to everyone and kindly gave me the pattern of plan of putting the bright colored patches together with black, Mrs. Hieronimus' friends called on me and donated many gay an dchoice pieces for patchwork. It was a sweet home - with fine conservatory where they raised oranges and lemons. The town was occupied first by the "Yankees" and then by the Rebels. We could tell at night by the sound whether the troops passing along the streets were on the saddles of the Yanks, as they squeaked like new and the thud and tramp of the cavalry horses proclaimed their well shod steeds - while the poor Johnny Rebs made a very different impression in their turn. Whenver the "coast was clear" we took walks about town - to the public gardens - Mt. Hebron cemetery - to the Fort, built by Gen. White and used after by Banks and Milroy - battle grounds, fortifications, etc., and the various churches. I had been sorry to travel on Sunday to reach Winchester, but it was my only alternative, as they told me a raid of Averill's was daily expected up the valley - but I found kind friends and every attention and so enjoyed my frequent visits with Mrs. H. to the greenhouse, among her oranges and lemons, roses, verbenas, geraniums, etc. And thus the time of my detention passed until April 4, when the journey over unknown country of 22 miles was begun to Martinsburg!
April 1864
April 4
After the farewells to my kind host and hostess, I started in a small oldfashioned one horse hack - steps and door on each side and open in front to the driver's seal. This was occupied by an old grizzled darkey - Uncle George - one of the old time respectful polite kind, of whom I was not at all afraid. My trunk was fastened to the rear and I had the one seat to myself. I felt so thankful for past blessings and not at all nervous or timid, for I seemed to hear the promise, "I will never leave or forsake them!" It was a dull, cloudy, chill day, but I rejoiced over every foot of the road as so much accomplished toward my desired haven. My important and precious Pass was safe in my hand bag and I was going on to Papa! A misty rain began to fall, but I was comfortable. I had enjoyed an early and fine dinner, so was neither tired or hungry and the rain could not touch me - so we plodded on, altho' our driving nag was thin, old and slow of gait. But after 5 or 10 miles he was forced to stop his jog and take a rest. All at once down came my trunk into the middle of the road! So "Uncle George" and I were soon attacking the situation and in due time the repacking was over, the trunk tied together and lifted inside the vehicle, one end rest on my seat and the other end on the front seat. The position cramped my knees and crowded Uncle George, but there was no other way and we traveled on, uncomfortable, silent and patient as possible. At length, as an early dusk grew on apace, we saw before us on a hill top a soldier on horseback. I recognized him as our first outpost! The hill was short, but steep, and when we were about half way up came the loud command "Halt!" I said to the darkey, "We can't stop, so drive right on." I was not the least bit frightened, but very indignant as he yelled again "Halt!" "We will halt," I said "when we get to the top." He rode up in front of us as if to block our way and asked, "Who are you? Where are you going? What do you want?" I answered coolly "I'll show you presently" and produced my Pass, which he examined critically - then returned to me saying, as if confering a great favor, "Pass on." Before long we encountered several infantry outposts; but they were gentlemanly and on telling them I wished to see the commanding General of their camp, they offered to take me directly there. On arriving at the woodland where were many troops and tents, several soldiers approached and I asked one of them to please inform the General that a lady wished to speak with him. He soon returned with the message. "The General is at supper, but will be here shortly." When he came I found him very pleasant and a perfect gentleman, so when I had shown him my pass and explained that my father was awaiting my arrival in Martinsburg, he said, "All right, Miss Rounds. I will order a guard for your protection the remainder of the way to town and to the Provost's office." I thanked the General heartily for his great kindness, we shook hands and presently I found myself "traveling in state", escorted by a convoy of soldiers filed on either side of my vehicle. But I smiled to think for friendly were the darkness and misty rain of the dimly lighted streets in partially concealing the ludicrous spectacle of a bony horse, an antiquated carriage, an old grey headed negro and a girl within, half hidden by her trunk and altogether paralyzed, she thought, by its cruel pressure; all affording a picture of a Southern spy under arrest and being taken before an officer of the law! When at last we halted I asked one of the guard to please run up to the office and ask for Dr. Nelson Rounds. He quickly came back with the news he had not come back from supper, but would probably be there now in a few moments. My guards were faithfully at their posts of duty when I heard my father's voice in the distance. He was hurrying back and saying, "Yes, I have been here about 3 weeks waiting for a safe chance to send my daughter her Pass so she could meet me here and we could go right home together." "O, Papa!" I cried. "I am here, right here." The next moment Pa's arms were around me, his loving, warm lips pressed to mine! O, the relief in that sudden change from care, anxiety and solicitude to the restful love of my father's protection; the music of his sweet voice that I had not heard for nearly four years! We drove at once to a saddler's shop and while my trunk was rehinged and strapped, I took a much needed refreshment at a restaurant close by and Papa settled accounts with Uncle George. Then we repaired to the depot, checked our baggage, got our tickets and sat down to wait for a belated train. The tantalizing bulletin board promised its appearance in "an hour or two", and so sped the whole night, but I got several happy naps on Pa's shoulder and was delighted that we were at last "homeward bound!"
Notes to Memoir
We got an early breakfast and were quickly on board when the train for Harper's Ferry left at 7 o'clock. We arrived there at 3 p. m., but were doomed to another delay, until 9:30, when we took the sleeper for Harrisburg, Pa. In the morning the first thing that greeted my sight was the broad, noble Susquehanna, alive with rafts. It reminded me sadly of the Potomac and the loved blue mts. of the Shenandoah Valley! I saw soldiers in blue on the train, at the stations, but they failed to elicit my admiration and sympathy as the "boys in Gray" would have done. As we proceeded farther and farther north, I noted the prosperity and public pride of the country, evidenced in farms, villages, towns, highways and by-ways. Meadows were green - pasture lands rich in herds of fat horses, cattle and sheep. I saw no wildness of barren, neglected fields, no women ploughing or planting corn, no ashes of burned homes, none plundered, wrecked or abandoned. On one side of Dixon's line, plenty, comfort, peace; on the other desolation, want, sacrifice, trouble, poverty and war.
I had admired the view at Harper's Ferry - the scenery as we approached Baltimore - and now we were nearing the beautiful cities of Harrisburg, Pa. and Elmira, N. Y. Here we were detained again, but at Waverly (where Rev. Leland Jackson Huntley, Ettie's husband, was pastor of 1st Baptist Church) we were gladly surprised by seeing Mr. H., Ettie and Nellie Huntley! Ettie kindly rode with us to Smithton's, where we bade her good-bye and were once more homeward bound to Nichol's parsonage. There joy and sadness were mingled for me amid affectionate welcome, and caresses - for my mother was so pale and thin, tho' convalescing - but my dear brothers Fred and Arthur were now young men, tall as I, and my sisters, too, Emma, Mattie and Ruth, were superb young ladies. So I felt almost as if among strangers and it remained for us to grow accustomed to each other. How the girls laughed when I unpacked my trunk! "O, Allie!" they said, "Your clothes are so out of style and funny!" When I told them the debaige I had on cost $200, they nearly took a fit! The very next day goods for a new dress was bought and I taken to a dressmaker post haste - and then as I tried on my new waist the anti-slavery madam ordered, "Hook it up yourself!" "Thank you", I answered "I prefer to do so." On all sides I seemed to be curiously stared at as a monster of a red hot rebel, and I felt I was being dubbed "a copper head" for daring to like the South and to believe they were right! So when I found the whole family packing up to leave in a few days for a new pastorate at Berkshire, Tioga Co., N. Y., I was rejoiced and very much relished the change from Nichols to Brookside Parsonage!
There the town was mostly one long street, on which were residences, churches, stores, P. O., &c. At one end our new home nestled in a lovely sugar maple grove, thro' which ran a babbling brook, where we all would meet to visit, read, sew, or write letters as the case might be. It proved an oasis in the desert of life to me. I soon found myself among kind neighbors and friends. I was made the organist - head of a large infant class - and had also a large class in piano music, as there happened then to be no other music teacher there. So I was very busy and gave my sisters lessons, too. Besides I taught on the intervening days of Tuesdays and Fridays a class of piano pupils at Newark Valley, 6 odd miles away. Pa had a comfortable buddy and a gentle horse and I enjoyed the drive in early morning and returning in cool of evenings. Sometimes I stayed all night with one of two intimate friends, Sophie Noble or Amelia Patterson, whom I knew 4 years before when we lived there and Pa was pastor (and I left in 1860 for the Southland!) Occasionally one of the girls would accompany me and visit old friends. A nephew of Sophie Noble's was one of my scholars and a niece was another.
I also took French lessons of Amelia Patterson, she having had fine advantages at a French boarding school in the vicinity, where was a colony of cultured Swiss French, who insisted their accent and pronunciation was purer than the Parisian.
Among my new friends at Berkshire was a Mrs. Lily Ducloux, whose maiden name was "L'Esperance de Dieu". We were all fond of these dear French people, one family in particular - that of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Chavannes, with whom we corresponded for several years.
Until this April of 1864 I had never seen my baby sister Clara Gertrude! But now the family chain was united. At one end, the eldest child Allie, the southern girl; at the other the youngest, baby Clara, now nearly three years olf, having been born at Newar[deleted: d][added: k] Valley August 10, 1861. I loved her dearly and she was my almost constant companion about the house or out in the maple grove. She sat in her high chair at table beside me and I loved to study the expressions of her changing countenance. She and Pa's large blue eyes and long eyelashes. She added her music to that of Ma's two canaries, "Allie" and "Frank", and with the cheer of Ma's flowering plants and vines helped to make our parsonage home bright and happy.
Early in April visited Ettie in Waverly with Emma. Afterwards to see cousins Esther Comfort Sho[deleted: w][added: e]maker and Phebe Lamb Harris at Owego. Trips to Newark Valley and lessons to my Berkshire class filled up my time. Often so tired at night had to be helped upstairs.
April 12.
All at church except me. Quite a procession, Ma and Pa, Emma, Mattie and Ruth, Fred, Arthur and Clara! Wrote letter to John in Penn. The household pets, Bessie and Jack, Cotton Tail and Tabby Cat were disgracefully noisy for Sunday. Everytime Jack attempted to help himself to the saucer of mill, Tabby would box his ears soundly and then the thumping and scampering antics were most undignified and ludicrous!
Monday, Apr. 13.
Music lesson to Ruth, French lesson to Emma. Analyzed flowers in grove with Clara near me - canadian Violet, Bishop's Cap, Mitie Wort, American Valerian. Lovely spring weather now. Grove more charming every day. Enjoy my rides thro' Ahwaga Valley much. The graceful elms putting on their luxuriant robes. Pleasant trip to N. V. yesterday. Dinner at Sophie's. The Noble family are all Southern sympathisersand dubbed by outsiders as "copperheads". Comforter of mine. "News of a victory in N. W. all right along the Rappahanock". I feel more at home politically with the Nobles than at Brookside Parsonage. To be wise and discreet there I have to keep a padlock on my lips. On way home called with Sophie on Amelia and after on Dr. and Mrs. Root, formerly of Virginia. Sympathize with the South, as do my Swiss friends and Ettie and Leland Huntley. To others I do not dare express my sentiments.
April 18.
Visit from brother John. Also from Leland and Ettie on their way to Philadelphia to attend the Baptist May anniversaries.
April 19.
Delightful drive to N. V. Lessons and French as usual. Feel miserable, no strength. Dr. Tappan advises tonics and is trying to build me up. Sophie says use fresh air, plenty of water and hydropathy instead. Received my regular batch of news from "the other side," encouraging. Ma left for a visit to Owego yesterday.
April 24.
Am feeling better to-day. Been trying Sophie's receipt of diet, sitz baths, compresses, &c. Nice drive with Pa out to the beautiful Brookfield school for boys.
25th.
I am housekeeper and cook now, as Emma is complaining of headache and fever. Sent for Dr. I shall add nursing to my other professions at once. Read speech of President Davis in U. S. Senate, Jan. 10, 1861. Grand and so prophetic! Letter from Ettie describing their delightful visit to Philadelphia. Mrs. Collins sent me a basket of firm red apples, Mrs. Williams a bottle of rhubardwine. Both fine. Dr. Tappan will have Emma up in a few days, but I am breaking down. Must write for Ma to come home to her two sick girls.
April 29.
The month nearly gone, but such a busy one to me. What a blessing is work to a sad heart! Best to have no leisure in which to nurse regrets or give way to forebodings of the future!
April 30.
A letter once more from Aunt Sara. Was sent under separate cover to Phillippi, W. Va., care of Frank's eldest sister, Mrs. E. A. Hite, who lives in the country at Cherry Hill, so called from its variety and quantities of cherries. Aunt Sara says all are well and Virginius (Frank) himself again and extremely anxious to get tidings of me!
May 1864
May 2.
Was just improving from an attack of diptheria, when a letter came to me, via Phillippi, in Frank's own handwriting, sealed and no eyes had read it but mine! What a comfort! He called me "Ever dear and precious Allie". Yes! The old pride in and love for me were there! He wrote asking if I could ever forgive his consent to my going North in the dangerous time of Civil War. Said 'twas racking pain, heavy cares and pressing fears conspired to make him do it. Begged me to ask my parents if they could pardon such unkind and unjust treatment of their noble child. And if we all could and would forgive him he promised to devote his whole remaining life to my care and happiness; and as soon as the war closed and it was practicable, he would come to claim me for his bride! This tangible proof of his long continued devotion caused the tears of joy to start, but thro' them I saw a glorious rainbow of promise, peace, hope and love. They said to me, "How bright and happy you look! Now you'll soon be well and strong!" After this I loved my south window more than ever. The sunshine seemed to stream in warmer, the air to be more balmy, the bird music sweeter than before. There I penned a prompt reply to one I had never ceased to love, granting entire forgiveness and bearing the sincere assurance of a cordial welcome to Brookside Parsonage whenever he should favor us with a visit!
Ah, me! How little we either of us dreamed that a long dreary waiting of 18 months must elapse are that happy day should arrive.
May 20.
I took early stage at 7 o'clock for Newark Valley. Lessons all the A. M. Eve. Ma called for me at Sophie's with buggy and we had a nice ride of 16 miles on fine road to Owego - where we shopped till dark. Stayed at dear Cousin Scott Harris'. Next morning Amelia arrived on stage and at 10 o'clock she and I started for Humphreysville, Penn., to visit our brothers, Joseph Patterson and John Rounds.
(May. 21.)
Amelia and I visited the big saw mill, Joseph showing us his fine Washington engine, its machinery, working, &c. After I arranged John's trunk, took needed stitches, and read John's private paper, the "Observer", edited and compiled by and for himself, for mental diversion. P. M. He and I walked to the pine woods, sat on a log and chatted, he reciting his experiences the past five months and also a synopsis of his life for 4 years past. This interchange of confidences was very sweet and grateful to us both. All spent eve. at old Mrs. Weiss'; where there was a piano, so we had music and sang together out of Golden Choir and the Jubilee - had all four parts. Seemed so like old times with John singing by my side.
May 23.
Joseph took Amelia, John and me in a carriage to Buttermilk Falls, 4 cascades. Passed Campbell's Ledge at head of Wyoming Valley. On same Mt. side Joseph pointed out Falling Spring, a sheet of 50 ft. in depth. We saw it [added: in] returning that night and falling from such a height its music was very sweet, wild and romantic. We stopped to listen and I fell into a pleasant reverie from which, when the horses started, I disliked to waken. We were traveling along side the canal and the lights of approaching baots streamed across the dark water, as on hearing the locks their horns sounded musically in the distance and carried me back where bugle notes always do.
May 25.
p. m. We visted "Queen Esther's Rock". We gathered flowers from the very spot where the heartless Queen had stood and let the blood of the poor mangled whites flow beneath her cruel feet! She was of Indian and French descent and very influential with the Indians, in the time of the great "Wyoming Massacre", when a brave lot of old men and boys were met and overpowered by a large force of British, tories and Indians and brutally slaughtered. We also visited the monument at Wyoming, erected by the descendants of these noble patriots. In a beautiful quiet spot near the village we ate our picnic supper. We bought strawberries from a garden opposite, whose owner from 1/2 acre had already sold 5 bushels at 40c per quart! As we rode through this far famed Wyoming Valley I feasted on its blue mts., wonderful scenery and delicious air. We passed thro' Kingston and by the Wyoming Seminary, where Ettie, Emma, Mattie and I had all been students. Recalled the times when I used to ride over the 2 miles from Wilkes-barre to Kingston in one of 3 omnibuses running from Wilkesbarre to Kingston when Pa was pastor of the M. M. church in Wilkesbarre, 1850 and 1851. Enjoyed crossing the covered bridge 1/4 of a mile long over the Susquehanna; this immensely long bridge of two roadways and raised foot-walk on either side, was lit up by gas and rafts were floating peacefully down the river. We drove to the Exchange Hotel and put up for the night.
("Next morning")
Next morning our carriage was in waiting to take us to Prospect Rock. Started at 8 o'clock for the Mountain Top House, where we relished a cool lemonade and then pursued our way on foot to the crest of the mt., which commanded an extensive prospect for many miles in each direction. Wilkesbarre, Kingston, Plymouth, Wyoming and Troy, all were plainly visible along the river and with our spy glass we decerned the Sem'y. at Kingston and the monument at Wyoming. It was from this lofty point "Prospect Rock" that the Indians formerly took their treacherous observation upon the valley below. On returning to the hotel we visited the Billiard Rooms and a gentleman kindly explained the game to Amelia and me. Said the balls cost $40 and the tables $600 apiece. A rest on the back piazza and one more iced lemonade, and we started to visit a coal mine! There was one not far away and Amelia and John had never seen inside one before, altho' Joseph and I had both been within such dark, black underground caverns. We decided to enter by a drift rather than a shaft or a slide. It was a new mine and not many chambers to explore. But the click of the picks in the hands of the miners, the little lamps fast on the front of each laborer's cap, making the darkness visible, as well as the columns left at intervals to support the walls overhead - the track on which the mules conveyed the loaded box cars to the entrance, made a depressing picture we were thankful to forget as we emerged once more into daylight and life above ground.
We stopped for a rest and a good dinner at Eagle Hotel. There I read in N. Y. Tribune that Petersburg, Va. was not yet taken, a Federal defeat in Mississippi - Hunter making a d[deleted: i][added: e]tructive raid thro' Shenandoah Valley. Here gold gone from $1.26 to $30. Comfortable, happy ride beside John on back seat to Greenwood. The quantities of laurel in bloom along the mountain roads looked by starlight like patches of snow. That pleasant midnight drive will long be remembered as the delightful close of my 3rd visit to the celebrated "Valley of Wyoming."
July 1864
July 2.
At night in my room read that Hunter had left the "Valley I love". Glad and sad am I! "Hope on - hope ever!" Perhaps this month will seem shorter than the 3 preceeding ones. Yesterday read that 2 whole corps of Grant's men were surprised and captured before Petersburg - went thro' fire and smoke to recapture it. A daring feat. Also read the characteristic manifesto of Confederate Congress to the world. Hope and pray it may produce a saving impression and thro' its instrumentality this cruel, inhuman war may speedily close!
July 5.
Long, sweet letter from Eveline Hite. So full of deep, kind interest - and to know at last accounts my beloved one was safe! Henry Hoover taken prisoner again. Retaken May 12, with 500 others. Capt. Imboden, another Staunton man, captured. H. Hoover incarcerated at Fort Delaware. Saturday gold was quoted here at $2.75, calico at 371/2c pet yd., wool $1.00 per lb., muslin 40c.
("July 7th")
N. Y. Tribune of July 7th editorially pronounces the public as well thro' its phase of despondency - "The days of partial rest Gen. Grant has given his army are a better assurance of progress than if he kept on hammering at the gates of Petersburg! Grant's Army had undergone such fatigue as even Napoleon (the most pitiless of generals) seldom required of his soldiers; but this lull in the storm is only portentious of future activities." A dispatch states that Hunter's whole command was at Charleston, W. Va. and had defeated Rebs in 5 engagements! Destroyed property to the amount of 5 million dollars! In mills, factories, tanyards, furnaces, foundries, &c., &c., thro' the Shenandoah Valley to Lynchburg. Gen. Seigel kept up the havoc to Martinsburg and back as far as Harper's Ferry. The Sec'y. of Treasury having resigned, Senator Pitts was nominated, but he declared that office would kill him in 6 weeks! Public debt is now one billion, 740 million, 30 thousand, 689 dollard and 50 cents!
("July 14")
This whole Newark Valley, July 14, perfumed with "newmown hay". Hear the rattling of mowing machines all day long. Pa stacked away 2 loads hay in the barn. He and Freddie quite proud that our little me[deleted: d][added: a]dow was so productive. Harvest dinner to-day. Veal cutlet[deleted: t]s, mashed potatoes, &c., and cherry pie.
July 16.
Dispatches full of "Rebel Invasion", "Raid", &c. "Rebels desperately in earnest" etc. Last Saturday I was in Owego and pained to see a car load of Confederate prisoners. Sympathizers crowded around and handed in everything nice to eat they could. Very dry and hot. Thermometer 96o in shade. Dry from Minnesota to Iowa and diptheria and pestilence prevailing. Groves withered, fruit trees crisp and yellow, dust 4 to 6 inches deep in roads. Crops affected, corn suffering for rain. Federals surprised before Petersburg, Va. and several regiments of colored troops nearly all swallowed up! Worst troops in army led assau[deleted: n][added: l]t, troops who had fared badly on various former occasions. Not a large loss for an army that had fought in the battles of the Wilderness and of Spottsylvania, so an editorial runs! I frequently read expostulations to "Put the war thro' by daylight" and "Let the devil have his due."
Great naval battle off Cherbourg between the Alabama and the Kearsarge. Capt. Semmes says he will start a new Alabama! 13,000 Confederate prisoners are being removed from Point Lookout to Elmira! - John, Ruth and Mama went berrying. I got dinner. Dear, swe

John POUNDSTONE died in 1861. His obit was contributed to the Fayette County USGenWeb Project.(11)
On the 25th of February, 1861, at his residence in German township, Fayette county, Pa., Mr. JOHN POUNDSTONE, in the 71st year of his age.
He was an honest, industrious, upright citizen, and had enjoyed good health until about one year since, during which time he was a great sufferer; but we trust that his afflictions were sanctified to his spiritual well being, as his thoughts and mind were turned to spiritual and Heavenly things, and he has left behind him the testimony that he had gone to be with his blessed Savior. He has left a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn their loss, but let them not mourn as those who have no hope, but take Christ for their all, and be prepared to meet him where partings shall be no more. J.A.

POUNDSTONEOn the morning of the 24th ult., in Nicholson tp., Mrs. Nicholas Poundstone, in the 92nd year of her age.
The deceased had been for a number of years the only surviving member of the German Reformed Congregation that worshiped many years ago, unitedly, with the Ev. Lutheran Congregation in the old log (St. James') church, (known as the "Dutch Meeting House" by the common people) predecessor to the Jacob's English Ev. Lutheran church of German township.
Mother Poundstone's christian character was unexceptionable and her devotion to the cause of Christ steadily increased to the Evening of her days. Her mind and memory were unusually strong and clear. A few days before her demise, on the last visit of her spiritual counselor, she gave him the 5th verse of the 31st Psalm as an expression of her feelings and as a text from which she desired him to preach her funeral servicethus showing her strong faith and confidence in her Redeemer. She rests from her labors and her works do follow her.

Death was due to a heart attack.
Finding the dead man's bedroom door locked when he went to call him and failing to get a reply to his call, Stair climbed over the porch roof and into the room through a window where he found him lying on the floor at the side of his bed. A physician later said he had been dead about six hours.

Since that time he has been in ailing health and suffered several heart attacks, each of which he had previously succeeded in throwing off. He is survived by a brother, John A. Poundstone, of Springdale; a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Dills, of Nicholson township, and a half-sister, Mrs. Cora Herrington, of Monongahela.

Jane Cline PRATT (1846-1926)
AGED WOMAN
FATALLY BURNED
WHILE IN BED
Newpaper image is poor quality. Transcription may not be exact.
Unable to help herself when her clothing caught fire from an open grate, Mrs. Jane Pratt, aged 83, of 134 Mill street, Thursday morning at 8 oclock, was burned to death in her bed. The remains, charred beyond recognition, were found by fire men who broke open a door at the three-room cottage.
Neighbors who saw smoke coming from the house turned in the alarm. As the firemen dashed to the scene they were informed that Mrs. Pratt probably was inside the burning building. The fire ladies lost no time in going to the rescue. They found the victims bed on fire and her lifeless remains partly covered with the bed clothing.
It is the theory of Fire Chief George H. Litman that Mrs. Pratt arose earlier in the morning to stir up fire in the grate and to light a gas fire in another room and that in doing so, her clothing caught fire. The chief says that he thinks Mrs. Pratt was unaware of her burning clothing until she got in bed. The blaze no doubt was communicated to the bed clothing and when flames enveloped her, the aged woman was unable to save herself or to utter audible cries for assistance. That she had been out of bed was borne out by the fact that she still wore her bedroom slippers.
So quickly was Mrs. Pratt overcome by the smoke and flames that she did not have time to move. The bed clothing was found up in her waist. Above his her clothing was entirely burned from her body which was blacked by the ravages of the fire.
The fire loss was confined mostly to the bed in which Mrs. Pratt slept. It was almost entirely destroyed. The body was removed to Nixons morgue.
Mrs. Pratt had lived in 134 Mill street, between Berkeley and McConnick avenue for 86 years. Her daughters and grandchildren often made frequent visits to her.
Mrs. Pratt was the mother of Mrs. George Bundy and Mrs. James Courtney of Uniontown and Mrs. Jos. Arensburg and Mrs. Louisa Boord, of Ohio.
Mrs. Jane Cline Pratt was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Foster Yarnell. She is survived by her sister, Mrs. Mary Feitz of Uledi and four daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Boord, of Hanoverton, O.; Mrs. George Bundy, of this city; Mrs. James Kortright of Corning, N. Y., and Mrs. Harry Arensburg of Newark, O.
Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon, the time to be announced later, at the home with the Rev. Burr R. McKnight officiating. Burial will be in Park Place cemetery.

Catherine PRICE ( -1948)
Suspected Wife Slayer in County Jail Brothers Will
Press Formal
Charges Today
Mother of Five-Year-Old
Dies of Gunshot
Wound Saturday
William R. Price, 26, suspected slayer of his pretty, 25-year- old wife, Catherine, remained evasive and stubborn during questioning yesterday, District Attorney Fred L. Brothers said, as he prepared to file formal murder charges against Price this afternoon. Mrs. Price, mother of a five-year-old girl, was shot in the chest by a bullet from a .32 calibre revolver early Saturday morning in her one-room home, one mile west of Morris Crossroads. Brothers established the time of the tradedy as between 1:20 and 1:30 a.m. He said a witness, Joseph Kury, 28, formerly of Masontown, now residing in Point Marion, said he had left the slain girl's room at 1:15 a.m.
Refuses to Talk
Brothers said Price, a Rosedale, W. Va., miner admitted being in the room when his estranged wife was shot. However, Brothers siad, Price refuses to tell authorities how the victim was shot. The woman's mother, Mrs. Gladys High, on whose property Mrs. Price lived, said she was awakened by Price shortly after the shooting. She said Price was screaming, Catherine's hurt, hurry, hurry! Mrs. High said when she went outside, the suspect was carrying her partly clothed daughter to his auto. Price took the victim to the Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W. Va. He told authorities there that the woman shot herself. Price, an Army veteran, is being held in county jail. The couple's daughter, Lillian, was staying with her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Winstead, when the shooting occurred.

Paraffine Test
May Determine
Woman's Killer
UNIONTOWN, Oct. 26.— On the results of a paraffin test will largely test the solution of the shooting of Mrs. Catherine Price, aged 26, of near Morris Cross Roads, whose estranged husband, William R. Price, is being held under suspicion of murder. So far Price has denied the discharge of the weapon, refusing to offer any explanation of the death of the woman who was shot through the heart. Assistant County Detective Forrest C. Parks, yesterday performed a paraffine test which will determine definitely whether the lethal weapon was fired by Price. The suspect, who will be charged with murder under the instructions of Distict Attorney Fred L. Brothers, admits he entered the residence of his wife, in the rear of the home of her mother, Mrs. John High on the Larman road, near New Geneva, a short time after the departure of Joseph Kury, who had taken Mrs. Price to a movie show. Kury asserts that he left the home of Mrs. Price about 1:15 o'clock. A few minutes later Price told Chief County Detective William J. Long and State police that he arrived. As Mrs. Price asserted, well I'm going to bed and turned out the light, there was a flash and roar of the gun,: said Price. I stood about nine feet away. Then the explanation of the suspect halts. He declines to offer any further explanations. His car was parked about a quarter of a mile distant and apparently he had seen Kury leave. When shot, Mrs. Price was wearing the jacket of pajamas, an undergarment, shoes and hose. An autopsy showed the bullet pierced the upper part of the heart and lodged in the back just under the skin. Death had been instant.

Hannah M. Wiggins PRICE ( -1861)
Newspaper image is poor quality. Transcription may not be exact.
Well may human life be compared to a dream, a shooting star, a bubble tossed upon the angry billow. For a while we sparkle in the charming firmament of human existence, and then our beams are merged into the refulgent light of eternity! Many of our dearest friends are asleep in the dust, awaiting the sound of the Archangel's trump. Not a household but mourns some loved and absent one. We turn to view the ??? of our fond relatives, and they are vacant, we call their names, and a voice from the grave answers, They are here.
Another has passed from earth to Heaven, sister Hannah M. Price, consort of Capt. Samuel C. Price, of Marshall county, Ill., died on the 6th of Dec. 1861, aged 24 years. She met death under the following distressing circumstances, which we extract from a letter written by Mr. P. to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Wiggins, Fayette county, Pa:
Her clothes caught fire from the small stove in the bedroom. She tried to put it out and after she found that was impossible, she ran to the kitchen with the intention of going out of doors, but thought that would not do, so she called for relief; and before the inmates of the next room could reach her, her garments were nearly consumed, and her flesh almost all over her entire body, burned very badly - consequently her sufferings were very great, which she bore with christian fortitude for nearly a week; when she obeyed the voice of her savior, in whom she trusted, and breathed her last. She was in full possession of her right mind to the last.
Seldom has it been our lot to record the death of one more esteemed than sister P. Naturally mild and affectionate; she was a devoted wife and mother, and endeared child and relation. During a revival of religion in the bounds of Mount Hope Congregation, in Stewart township, Fayette Co. Pa, during the winter of 1857-8; she in connection with her husband and many others, united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in whose communion she lived an exemplary member until severed by death. She has left husband and two dear little children, a father, mother, brothers and sisters, and many relatives to mourn her untimely end. And now her spirit mingles - doubtless - mingles with Saints on high - and thus beckons to her dear ones left here, to meet her there. Oh, may the Lord bless the bereaved husband and children, and all she leaves here, and may they be prepared to meet her.
If Heaven be now her happy state,
She lives redeemed from care;
Then let us try before to late,
To meet her spirit there.

Charles PRINGLE ( -1895)
KILLED ON THE RAIL
Charles Pringle Cut Down While on His Way to Work. Charles Pringle, a colored man employed at Broad Ford, who has been boarding here, was killed by the second section of the westbound express trail at Broad Ford on Sunday morning. Pringle was on his way to work as usual at an early hour, and it is supposed that he did not hear the fast train coming behind until it was almost upon him. He was struck near where the Peemickey bridge crosses the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. The unfortunate man was brought here about a half hour after he was struck, and lived till he was placed in the baggage room of the Baltimore & Ohio depot. His head was badly crushed. He never spoke after he was struck by the train. On Pringles person was found a pay envelope, which he had received the last pay day. Deputy Coroner James Echard held the inquest, the jury rendering a verdict of accidental death. Pringle was about 26 years old. He came to this place about 6 months ago from Virginia. He engaged boarding and lodging at the home of Frank Williams, a colored man who lives on the corner of Baldwin and Mountain avenues. There he became attached to the daughter of his landlord, Miss Lizzie. His love was reciprocated and the two were to have been married in a short time. The grief stricken girl did not hear of her lovers fate until late on Monday. Pringles remains were interred in Hill Grove Cemetery on Monday afternoon.

JAMES W. PRINGLE
DIES AT FAIRCHANCE;
CIVIL WAR VETERAN
James M. Pringle, 91 years old, one of the oldest residents of Fayette county and one of the few surviving Civil War veterans, who twice was captured by the Confederacy only to escape, died Sunday night at 10 oclock at his home on Morgantown street, Fairchance. Mr. Pringle was born September 1, 1844, in Fayette County but later the family moved to Iowa, where his father, Abraham Pringle took up a thousand acre tract of land. Due to the poor health of his wife, Abigail, the family later returned to Fayette County. He was a member of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry and was captured twice by the Confederates while on the Salem raid. Each time he succeeded in escaping from the rebel clutches and brought his team of mules safely back to the Union headquarters. In 1869 he married Barbara Ellen Swaney, who died 17 years ago. He is survived by two sons, Weldon J. and Arthur E. of Fairchance and six daughters, Edith and Mrs. Fannie Weltner at home; Mrs. Homer Zearley of Fairchance, Mrs. John Farr of Uniontown, Mrs. James Sheffler and Mrs. M. D. Swartzwelder, both of Wilkinsburg. There are six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon with a brief service at 2 oclock at the late home followed by a full one at 2:30 oclock at the Fairchance Free Methodist Church. Interment will be made in Maple Grove Cemetery.

Last Sunday's skirmish involved General Breckenridge's troops and General Imboden's troops against the enemy near New Market. A friend reported seeing seventy-nine dead Yankees on one side of the road and thirty-three on the other only one mile from New Market, indicating that enemy losses must have been severe. General Imboden lost a number of members of the 62nd Virginia in the engagement and captured a number of prisoners. Two hundred and thirty prisoners, including those Imboden captured previously from the 1st New York Cavalry, have arrived in Staunton, with more on their way. In the 62nd Regiment, Captain Currence was killed and Captains Chipley, Bastable, Hill, Holt, Smith, and Woodson were wounded. The Cadets of the Virginia Military Institute were in this fight and performed well. Captain R. H. Phillips of Staunton provided a list of the killed and wounded from the Institute, including Cadet Stuart of Augusta County and C. W. Turner of Staunton, both wounded. Other cadets from Staunton participated in the fight but were unharmed, including A. Stuart, C. Taylor, J. Stuart, William Crawford, C. Harrison, and S. T. Phillips.
The Staunton Artillery, under the command of Captain Garber of Staunton, maintains the high reputation it earned in First Manassas with its performance recently at Spotsylvania Court House. The Richmond Howitzers left their guns, and General Lee called for volunteers to replace them. The Staunton Artillery volunteered, operated the Howitzer Battery and two others, and worked so efficiently that General Lee noticed the performance. From the Staunton Artillery, James T. Burns was killed, and Sergeant John Bryan, Sergeant John Butler, Corporal Benjamin Pforr, Private W. C. Smith, Private Peter Good, Private John Stirewalt, Private Christian Huffman, Private Peter Proctor, Private Benjamin Ford, and Private Henry Woods were wounded, all slightly except Pforr, who is supposed to be mortally wounded.
Corporal Cicero Bare, 29, died in the hospital at Gordonsville on May 12, 1864. He was the son of John Bare of Augusta County. At the beginning of the war, he volunteered in the Company called "Lee Rifles," commanded at first by Captain Robert D. Lilley and now called Company D, 25th Virginia Infantry. On May 6, he was wounded severely in the shoulder with a ball penetrating to his back. He was "an affectionate son and Brother, much beloved by his companions in arms, and esteemed an excellent soldier." In his last letter to his father, he stated his hope to escape as he had in former campaigns but added "'If I fall it shall be with my face to the enemy. I will never fill a coward's grave.'"

Read about a typical day as a VMF 213 squadron fighter pilot, James Cupp, as he shoots down Zeros.

On an escort mission to Kahili on July 17, Jim Cupp tangled with some Zeros, and finding himself alone, he fell in with a group of returning bombers for protection. He caught up with them while they were playing cat-and-mouse in the clouds with two Zeros. Cupp took advantage of the situation and flamed one of the Zeros.
While on patrol over Vella Lavella on September 17, Cupp and his section intercepted a large group of Vals and Zeros. They took out a few Zeros before attacking the Vals. The dive bombers were old and slow that at first it was difficult for the Corsairs to get in a good burst before passing over them. It was a “pathetic battle”, as the Marines disintegrated the Vals about as fast as they could line them up. They had brought down several when they were jumped by four Zeros. Cupp was hit by a 20mm shell and he considered ditching, but happily discovered that his corsair responded well when he shoved the throttle forward, and he ran for home.
The next day, he took off on dawn patrol, to catch “Washing Machine Charlie,” the regular Japanese night-time nuisance bomber. Taking off at 0500, he spotted a Jap Betty in the distance. After a long chase, he caught up, and approached the plane from his supposedly unprotected belly. To Cupp’s astonishment, the bomb bay doors opened up, to reveal a cannon, which instantly hit him three times. His Corsair caught on fire; Cupp was badly burned, and forced to bail out. He was picked up by Americans, and spent the next 18 months in the hospital recovering from 14 operations. Jim Cupp had thirteen confirmed kills and was a local resident of Manassas before his death in 2008. See his picture and a model of his airplane at the Freedom Museum.

44th New York Infantry Regiment's Civil War Newspaper Clippings
HONOR TO COL ELLSWORTH.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
The recent assassination of the gallant and lamented Ellsworth, and the barbarous manner in which the rebels have thus far conducted their hostilities against the government, has fired anew the zeal of our young men, until all are chafing with impatience to meet the foe.
The quota of New-York troops called for by the President is already organized; and if they were not too much time would be consumed in organizing under existing laws.
Under these circumstances, it has been deemed advisable to raise a regiment from among the people of this state; each town and ward to be represented by furnishing one man to be at once armed and equipped by voluntary subscription, and tendered to the general government, to serve during the war, as avengers of the noble blood, spilled on the soil of Virginia on the 24th inst.
To carry out this purpose, an organization was effected in Albany, Saturday evening, by the adoption of the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the undersigned immediately organize an association, to be called the "Ellsworth Association of the Slate of New-York," for the purpose of raising a regiment in honor of the lamented Col. Ellsworth.
That its officers be a president, treasurer and secretary, and an executive committee of five members.
That said officers serve during one year; and until others be chosen in their places.
That subscribers to the funds of this association be members thereof.
That it be proposed to each town and ward in the state to furnish one able-bodied man for this regiment; said person to be selected from those who shall offer to enlist in the same by a committee of three, to be chosen by the subscribers to the fund in said town or ward.
That in each town and ward in this state, subscriptions be solicited, not to exceed one dollar from each person, and that the same be immediately forwarded to the treasurer of this association at Albany.
That the soldier to be selected in each town and ward be an unmarried man, not less than five feet and eight inches in height, active, able-bodied, and not to exceed thirty years of age.
That as soon as may be, each town and ward report to the secretary the name and address of the soldier chosen by said town or ward, and that it be recommended to each to select men of moral worth, and as far as possible, those who have some knowledge of military evolutions.
That on notice each person chosen to said regiment report himself for duty, and rendezvous in the city of Albany.
That with the funds to be subscribed, the men so chosen be mustered into service and divided into companies, and officered by the executive committee and officers of this association, and a regiment formed and officered by the said committee and officers.
That the funds so subscribed and paid be faithfully applied to the mustering and complete equipment of said regiment, and when the same shall be ready for service it be tendered to the government, for active duty during the war, upon the same terms as other troops, and subject to all existing military regulations of the United States army.
That the sum required to be raised is about the sum of $150,000, which will fully fit said regiment for the field and furnish it with all necessary equipage.
That it be recommended to each town and ward in the state to immediately open a correspondence with the secretary at this city, and to circulate subscriptions at once, in order that the regiment may be organized, uniformed, and equipped during the month of June.
On motion, the following officers of this association were chosen:
President—Hon. Geo. H. Thacher, Mayor of Albany.
Treasurer—Hon. Erastus Corning, M. C.
Secretary—Charles Hughes, Clerk Court of Appeals.
The following executive committee was chosen:
Hon. James M. Cook, John K. Porter, Hon. Lyman Tremain, Jacob J. Werner, Henry A. Brigham.
On motion, resolved; That these proceedings be at once published in all the papers of this state, and active measures be taken for carrying out the purposes of this association; that the names of all subscribers to the fund be transmitted to the secretary at Albany for publication and record; that no funds be disbursed by the treasurer except on vouchers certified by a majority of the executive committee and countersigned by the secretary.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—The Central Ellsworth Association issue the following: To the Town and Ward Ellsworth Associations of the State of New York:
The Executive Committee of the State Ellsworth Association, announces that the Central Government have accepted the "People's Ellsworth Regiment," but with the condition that the Regiment shall be ready for marching orders within twenty-one days from the 24th uitimo.— This condition the Committee find themselves unable to comply with in consequence of the towns of the State having failed as yet to respond to their call, and thus furnish the men and means to make-up the regiment. Under these circumstances, the Committee have resolved to call together the men already selected, and to allow the towns which have furnished men and means, to select as many more men, from any town in their several counties, as they shall choose, up to the number of five men each, without raising any additional funds, and to muster them into service under the call of the Governor for twenty five thousand men. (Provided, that each man selected shall come up to the standard of qualification, heretofore prescribed by the Committee.)
By availing themselves of this opportunity, the Government will clothe and arm the men, and thus relieve the Committee from that expanse; and the soldiers of this regiment can avail themselves of the provisions of General Older No. 15, which is as follows:
" Every volunteer non-commissioned officer, private, musician and artificer, who enters the service of the United States under this plan, shall be paid at the rate of 50 cents, and if a cavalry volunteer, 25cents additional, in lieu of forage, for every twenty miles of travel from his home to the place of muster, the distance to be measured by the shortest usually traveled route; and when honorably discharged, an allowance, at the same rate, from the place of his discharge to his home, and in addition thereto, the sum of one hundred dollars.
" Any volunteer who may be received into the service of the United States under this plan, and who may be wounded or otherwise disabled in the service, shall be entitled to the benefits which have been or may be conferred on persons disabled in the regular service, and the legal heirs of such as die or may be killed in service, in addition to all arrears of pay and allowances shall receive the sum of one hundred dollars."
With the money collected in the various towns and paid into the treasury of this Association, under our first plan of organization, the Executive Committee will purchase for the use of the regiment such additional articles of uniform, arms and wearing apparel as will add to the comfort and efficiency of the men of this regiment.
Any town desiring to be represented in this Regiment and not heretofore having taken action, can select a man, on raising the sum of twenty dollars or as many men as they choose at that rate, but all men selected must comply with our stand¬ard of qualifications, viz:
That the soldier to be selected in each town and ward be an unmarried man; not less than five feet eight inches in height, active, able bodied, and not to exceed thirty years of age, and of good moral character.
Arrangements have been made by which it is expected that the pay of the men will commence the day after their arrival in this city.
All men selected before the 8th day of August will report themselves for duly on that day, at the City Hall, in Albany.
All selected after that date will report themselves for duty at the camp of the regiment in Albany on the 20th of August.
We earnestly appeal to the patriotic citizens of every town in the State to furnish a representative for this regiment and ask our young men to come forward and give aid to the country in defense of its time-honored flag. We call upon the patriotic press of the State to give publicity to this circular.
By order of the Committee,
CHARLES HUGHES, Secretary.
THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Senator FERRY writes, apropos of the Ellsworth Regiment: CHICAGO, June 10, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
I have just received the enclosed circular, which is perhaps stale at your place. I hope our people are moving in the matter, and proper steps taken for a complete organization. I shall not be at home in time to take any part in it, but am good for my dollar, and should not only be very willing but very glad to take hold of a laboring oar to move it forward. I knew Ellsworth well, and was for many years very much attached to him. Such a regiment as is proposed, if property selected and officered, without any of the red tapism that has too frequently shown forth, would be very useful and effective. Their very name would carry a feeling of dread and apprehension to the contemptible wretches who look upon assassination and poisoning as the proper instruments of war, theft as honorable, high-minded chivalry.
Yours, truly, WM. H. FERRY.
The Ellsworth Regiment.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
Several copies of the HERALD are taken in this town, and a good many in the county; possibly therefore through it, I may be able to reach some patriotic party, and cause a move in this and other towns, in behalf of the People's Ellsworth Regiment. Every patriot should feel humiliated at the thought that any town or ward in the State will neglect to choose and send a good man to take his place in the ranks of this most noble regiment, and especially that a town so rich as this in all the elements of material prosperity should be careless of such an enterprise at such a time. So far as I am aware, not a movement has been made in Otsego county—I am sure not in this town—to aid in filling this regiment. Men of Springfield, men of Otsego, shall this be? There is yet time. The men will be accepted, and the funds are wanted. Let a stand be taken at once, and let Springfield give the watchword, "Remember Ellsworth.
F.
East Springfield, Otsego Co., July 31, 1861.
People's Ellsworth Regiment.
ALBANY BARRACKS, August 16, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
As a member of the People's Ellsworth Regiment, I wish the privilege of saying a few words through the columns of your paper to the loyal and patriotic citizens of Oneida and adjacent counties. The original design of the Committee was that this regiment should be raised, armed and equipped ready for duty by the people in the several towns and wards of the Empire State, that it might emphatically be the People's Regiment, by having one representative from each locality; but from some reason the towns were so slow to take action in the matter that the Committee were forced to change their original plan, by providing that towns which had selected a man and raised the requisite sum, viz.: $100, could send four more; and towns that have not taken action, by raising $20, can send a man. There are now about 180 men in the barracks, and I challenge any academy in the State to show as much talent and intellect as we have among these volunteers. Nearly all are from the best families of their respective towns, and of good moral character, and I can confidently say that never was there a regiment formed which had for its basis such good material. There is an erroneous sentiment that seems to prevail throughout Central New York that this regiment is got up for Albany favoritism; this is a mistake. There are many applicants for office from the said city, yet they stand no better chance than applicants from other portions of the State, nor, indeed, as good a chance as many from Erie county. One word for Erie county—she stands A No. 1 in this enterprise. There came from that county, on the 8th, thirty-five fine young men, who have elected for Captain and First Lieutenant Messrs. E. B. Chapin and Frank Sidway, both well versed in military tactics, and highly esteemed citizens of Buffalo; the other commissioned and non-commissioned officers will be chosen from Erie county and that vicinity, and the company will be filled up on the 20th with representatives who are from that part of the State. New York city sends a full company of one hundred men; we expect them every day. I am surprised that Oneida county is not more numerously represented—only two or three, and not one from the city of Utica; though I am most happy to state that the town of Vernon has the tallest representative, in the person of the well known Doctor Landon, who measures six feet six inches in his stockings, and held a Captain's commission in the Mexican war, acquitting himself with great credit. We hope neither the town nor county will think that because they have sent the tallest man that is all they can do, but there ought and indeed may be a full company officered by good, efficient and capable men from Central New York. Cannot some one move speedily in the matter; without action is taken immediately, it will be too late, for doubtless the regiment will be full before many days. Some four hundred additional men are expected here on the 20th.
Let Central New York be fully and faithfully represented in this regiment, which will without doubt be the best that enters the service. "A word to the wise is sufficient."
P.S.—Twenty-five men from Duchess county and vicinity have just arrived this, Friday, evening.

ALBANY ELLSWORTH BARRACKS,
August 21, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
I am anxious to have a few lines inserted in the HERALD, in regard to the "People's Ellsworth Regiment," of which I am proud to sat I am a member. Be it a shame to Oneida county that she only has three representatives in the Regiment, at the present writing, I will here say that Vernon has a "big thing." I allude to Dr. Landon, who is the tallest man in the regiment. He stands six feet six inches, and held a captain's commission in the Mexican War, in which he served with distinction. There should be at least one company composed of and officered by men from our county. Herkimer, Madison and Chenango, have responded nobly to the call. Members are arriving daily from different parts of the State, which is steadily filling up the regiment.
ALBANY EVENING JOURNAL.
ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—This Regiment will be paid off to-morrow. ERASTUS CORNING will advance the money to Maj. RICHARDSON, in anticipation of its reception from Washington. It will require about $20,000.
THE ...TION TO THE GALLERY ... FOURTH REGIMENT.—The remnant of the original 44th (Ellsworth) Regiment, which left here in 1861 under Col. Stryker, reached their homes in this city yesterday. The ovation made on the occasion of their arrival was indeed a grand one. Long before the hour announced for their arrival, the people of our city began to assemble to welcome back the war-worn heroes. They were detained an hour on the road, owing to courtesies extended to them by the citizens of Hudson, where they were kindly cared for. The members of the 44th that have been discharged from service, owing to wounds and otherwise, paraded under command of Capt. Alex. McRoberts, and wore the badge of the corps, a red leaf. They were preceded by Schreiber's Brass Band, also wearing the badge, which Band, it will be remembered, left this city and proceeded to the front with the Ellsworths. The 22d Veteran Reserve Corps, and 16th Massachusetts Battery, from the Troy Road Barracks, were also out in full force, and acted as an escort to the heroes. Capt. Harris Parr announced the arrival of the veterans by firing & salute from the pier at the corner of the cut. On the arrival of the 44th upon this side, they were received with military honors by the escort, when the line was formed and a parade through our public streets took place. The appearance and looks of the brave fellows speak in terms stronger than we can write them of the hardships and service they have passed through in going up State street the Ellsworths halted in front of the residence of Erastus Corning, Esq., and saluted his lady. It will be remembered that this family presented the Ellsworths, on their departure, a suit of colors. The veterans were then escorted to the Capitol, where they were properly received by Gov. Seymour, who made a very happy speech, welcoming the brave heroes back home again. Col. Connor responded. Subsequently the Ellsworths were feasted with a dinner at the Congress Hall.—Those members of the Ellsworths who belonged out of town were furnished quarters at the City Hall, where Col. Connor's headquarters are for the present. (Knickerbocker, Sept. 30, '64)
Will not some of our patriotic young men, in the towns that have not taken action, be induced to make the effort immediately. Circulate your subscription in your respective towns. If you are not able to raise more than $20, do this and send your best man. Our regiment is composed of men representing nearly all the trades and professions, and many graduated from the best collages in the country. Many left good situations and made great sacrifices willingly, esteeming it a duty to serve the country in its hour of peril. Major Stryker is in temporary command of the regiment. We are under drill from four to six hours each day. All of our officers are experienced and competent men. Many of them formerly belonged to the celebrated Chicago Zouaves, and saw service with the Fire Zouaves at Bull's Run. Our leisure hours are devoted to ball playing, sparring, reading and writing &c. We while away the evenings in singing, dancing and the like. We have a Glee Club called the "Ellsworth Glee Club," who discourse splendid music accompanied by a melodeon. We have a temperance organization which boasts of 106 members, and still increasing. The pledge is that we abstain from the use of intoxicating Liquors, while we remain in the regiment, unless prescribed by the surgeon. I would say that our food is of the best quality in every respect, and we have all are want. We have excellent accomodations [sic] for washing, so none have an excuse for being unclean. Our uniform, which is to be the regular U. S., is expected this week. The fatigue suit, I understand will be a drab color, made up in Zouave style. The examining physician gave us a compliment by saying that we were the finest body of men that he ever examined. Many visitors are on the grounds each day. I heard one gentleman remark, that he would see the regiment leave, if he had to walk from Saratoga to do it. The father of the late Col. Ellsworth was on the grounds to-day, and was very enthusiastically received by the boys. The Colonel has not been chosen as yet, but we can rest assured that he will be the right man when found. The late Col. Farnham of the Fire Zouaves was to have been the Lieut. Colonel, but for his sudden and unexpected death, which was properly observed by the regiment. How can one think here of war, of strife and civil discord. We almost forget all these when we rasume our .... It seems more like a school, and in fact it is the "school of the soldier."—Would that our soldiers would remember that they are not only our country's defenders, but her pride. She points to them as did the noble Roman matron to her jewels. They are no mercenaries, no tools of a despot, but intelligent and manly citizens, who peril life for freedom and law, because they know their worth. They are the pride, too, of the loved ones at home. Many a mother speaks with tearful joy, of her "boy" in the army, many a sister tells of a noble-hearted brother. Let these dear ones have no cause to _lu_ for them when they shall return, as less _ure, less worthy of their love and pride, than when they went forth at the call of duty. Yours for the Union, D. S. Jr.

From the Ellsworth Regiment.
Headquarters People's Ellsworth Regiment,
Albany, Oct. 8, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
Our regiment is now full to the maximum standard, and the "Boys" are anxiously awaiting marching orders. We shall remain here probably not longer than ten days at the most. We paraded for review by His Excellency Gov. Morgan, yesterday, and the people all say it was a fine affair. The Governor and staff came upon the parade ground, well mounted and dressed in the full military uniform, and were received by the firing of the proper salute. About 800 of our men were upon the ground with well filled knapsacks, which proved to be quite a load before the four hours were past, the time which we had to carry them. We marched before His Excellency, on common, quick and double quick time, went through various flanking, marching, and musket exercises; and the citizens say it was the best exhibition of the kind ever witnessed in Albany. There were probably from ten to fifteen thousand spectators present of both sexes who seemed much pleased with the performance.
We are using the Springfield musket now, but have the promise of soon exchanging them for the Minnie rifled musket. Our fatigue uniforms, which are not like any other Zouave cut, are making, and those that have seen them say they are very nice. We expect to receive some pay from Uncle Sam's servant, the paymaster, in a few days, as the pay rolls are nearly completed. We have a fully organized Christian Association which promises to be a nourishing and profitable affair; and have also a Literary Society well under way, the exercises of which will be of a miscellaneous character, consisting of debates, essays, orations, &c. If we can carry a library and we think we can, these institutions will be made of great use by way of guarding against the demoralizing influences of the camp, and keeping up a taste for literary pursuits. Health and hilarity pervade our ranks as much as ever, there being but one in the hospital. The officers still retain the most unshaken confidence of the soldiers, especially Col. Stryker commanding, who is loved and respected by the entire regiment and all who know him.
Undoubtedly all are aware that the people of the great Empire State are looking to this, their "pet regiment," expecting hard work, and fidelity to the glorious cause that has brought us together, and we trust that they will not be disappointed in their expectations. We have no sympathy with any "peace measure." All the peace, or compromise measure that our regiment will look at, is the unconditional surrender of the Confederate army, and the hanging of the secession leaders. Undoubtedly should these semi-secession editors, and perfidious civilians, visit our barracks to promulgate their pernicious peace doctrines, they would find themselves under "marching orders" with very short time to "pack up." And they would probably fare no better in any regiment in our army. For the same love of country—a country, the principles of which are the most pure ever witnessed by intelligent beings—that animated our fathers, pervades the breasts of our soldiers in this trying hour. Caesar aut nullus, cried the old Romans. So now our armies and patriotic men will shout, our country or nothing.
Yours for the Union.

HEADQUARTERS PEOPLE'S ELLSWORTH REGIMENT,
Albany, Oct. 16, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
Our marching orders are at hand—we are ordered to leave our barracks next Monday at 1 p. m., for Washington. We are to be armed with the Minnie rifled muskets. The above orders were read on parade at 4 this P. M. The boys have been cheering incessantly nearly two hours, on the strength of this good news. I write you these few lines in addition, hoping that they may be somewhat interesting to the readers of the HERALD. The various rumors that have been circulated respecting our marching orders and destination, have kept the boys on the gui vive for the last fortnight. During this time Madam Rumor has appointed the day many times, and we have as often been disappointed. If some of these reports had been official, we should ere this have been encamped in the land of Secesh. Some would have located us in Missouri or Kentucky; others, Virginia. I must admit that the state of affairs looks quite "dusty" in each of these departments. I am sure our companions in arms would gladly welcome us wherever we might go. Our regiment, according to this morning's report puts our number 1,026 men. I think this report is not large enough by twenty-four men at least. Recruits continue to arrive daily. We will take them as long as we remain, Col. Stryker having the privilege to increase the regiment to 1,100 men. I am sorry there are not more Oneida county boys in this crack regiment. I am sure some will live to see the awful mistake they made in not coming here. The general health of the regiment is good, and we are comfortably located in the large and spacious brick barracks which are so well adapted for the use made of them. We find much better protection here from the chilly nights of autumn than we did in the wooden barracks. If we now and then have a chill, which is but momentary, we do not suffer from the pangs of hunger, as our commissary department is always well stocked. Several members of Company D received last week from their fair friends, the patriotic young ladies of Norwich, several large boxes, which looked quite suspicious owing to their great size, but when opened were found to contain a host of good things, such as an epicure might have envied. I, having a ticket for the collation, was able to judge of the goodness of the various edibles. If the fair donors had been present, they would have received many thanks for their kindness.
Our parade ground is visited by hundreds daily to witness the drill and martial appearance of the boys, and none seem to regret having made the visit. Yesterday, we were reviewed by Gen. Rathbone and staff, which attracted a crowd, as usual. We went through the manual exercise and various battalion movements. But the main feature of the day was the "charge" made on double quick, the whole regiment being drawn up in line of battle. The other was the presentation of a beautiful silk flag to Company F by the ladies of Albany. Presentations have been the order of the day for some time past. Many captains have received presents from their re¬spective companies and friends.
The Regiment formed a hollow square previ¬ous to dismissal, for the purpose of introducing to the boys Mr. Ellsworth, father of the late Col. Ellsworth. When introduced by the Colonel, every soldier's head was uncovered, and not a cheer was heard. We remained in this position some moments, expecting he would make some remarks. He seemed to take a careful survey of each man, and at the last seemed to be so much affected that he was unable to speak. Perhaps his silence and the emotions which caused it told more than language could express. The occa¬sion was truly a solemn one to all.
Rev. Mr. Pease, of Saratoga county, has been appointed Chaplain for the Regiment. We have needed one for some time, but I am confident we have the right man at last. Mr. Pease is a Presbyterian. He has traveled extensively in the Old World, and thus having an opportunity to store his mind well with the incidents of his travels, and having an opportunity to study well the character and habits of men, consequently is well fitted for the position he has been urged to accept. He gave his first discourse last Sabbath. He remarked that he was of Old Revolutionary stock, his grandfather having fought at the battle of Bennington, and the fire of old '76 burned in his breast. He came here not for pay or hoping to get office; all he wanted was his bread and butter. He now recognized no denomination, but was here as a Christian, hoping to do good among us, and to stand as an electric telegraph between the 44th and Heaven.
I have omitted much which is needless to repeat, as it was noticed in a letter of my comrades in last Saturday's HERALD.
I have been informed upon reliable authority that we are to have a grand reception in Washington, and, in fact, the whole route from here will be one continued ovation. In a few days, at least, we shall be near the scene of conflict, and if we are called upon we shall endeavor to do our duty. We go to sustain a government to which all alike owe allegiance. It is not a war of hate and rapine, but one in which our principles and honor are involved. God is on our side. The sense of right is plain to all. It has the approval of conscience. It exalts the struggle into the heroic. We are fighting for truth, (which is mighty and will prevail,) for freedom, for national existence, for the hopes of humanity in all the future. We should go forth into battle with this motto, "God and our country," inscribed on our banners. When our work is over, we hope to return to our homes with our country redeemed, united and saved.
Yours for the 44th,
D. S., Jr., Co. D.
Departure of the Ellsworth Regiment—A Great Time Expected.
The announcement made on Saturday that the People's Ellsworth Regiment would leave to-day for the seat of war, caused great excitement not only among the members of that body, but among citizens generally. At the barracks yesterday there was a constant stream of visitors, of both men and women, all anxious to see their friends and acquaintances. Numerous carriages from country towns were also present. It was indeed a day of much excitement. The Regiment was yesterday furnished with the leggins, which adds very much to their appearance, as it certainly does to their convenience. The articles were made by Ald. L. M. Rodgers, and it may be stated as a somewhat speakable fact that they were delivered two days before the agreed time. The dress parade yesterday afternoon was largely attended, and was gone through with to the entire satisfaction of all present. During the day Dr. Rogers, who is chaplain of Gen. Rathbone's staff, preached to the soldiers in the open air. It is gratifying to state that the greater portion of the Regiment were present, and listened with marked attention.
Col. Stryker yesterday morning issued orders to his Captains, that they must have their commands promptly in line at 1 o'clock to-day, as at that hour he should start. The Regiment will proceed to the residence of Hon. Erastus Corning, when his lady will formally present the Color to the Regiment. The presentation speech will be made by Charles Hughes, Esq., and Col. Stryker will reply. The Regiment will then proceed to the Steamboat Landing, where it will embark on board of barges. Mr. J. Austin has very kindly tendered the use of his steam-tug, the Austin, to draw the barges.
Company A Zouave Cadets, Capt. Van Vechten, and Company B, 10th Regiment, Capt. Ainsworth, will escort the Regiment to the boat. Chief of Police Adams has directed that a sufficient force of the police be employed in keeping State street and Broadway clear, so that the Regiment will have a fine opportunity of displaying itself and allowing our citizens to witness their evolutions. Should the day prove favorable we expect to see a greater sight than Albany or Albanians ever before witnessed.
Messrs. Taylor, Brayton & Co., the contractors, have made up seven thousand huge sandwiches with which to feed the regiment until it arrives in New York. Coffee will be made on board the barges, so that the soldiers will have a good time in getting to the metropolis.
Arrangements have been made to give the Ellsworth's a proper reception and entertainment in New York.
Their new uniform, of the Zouave pattern, is not all manufactured as yet; but it was said yesterday, that Col. Stryker would let such companies as could be uniformed complete, wear the new clothing to-day. This would let our citizens see how the regiment will look when completely uniformed. We are sorry to learn that Capt. Revere is quite sick from diptheria. He was able to be about yesterday, though not to take his company to the dress parade.
The Regiment will go direct from New York to Jersey City, and there take the cars for Washington; arrived there, Col. Stryker will report to the Secretary of War. What disposition will then be made of the Regiment is only known to the Secretary.
It is a matter of regret that the Ellsworth's go off without the Springfield Rifles. It has been found impossible to furnish them with this particular pattern of weapon, but those they have will answer until others are furnished.
Mayor Thacher has issued the following order to the Police Department:
CITY OF ALBANY, MAYOR'S OFFICE, OCT. 21ST,
1861.—In order to facilitate the passage of the Ellsworth Regiment and to promote the convenience of the public, the Police Force will be required to keep State street from the Capitol to the Exchange, and Broadway from the Exchange to the point of embarkation, free from obstructions of every kind from 3P. M. till the Regiment shall arrive at the boat. Drivers of hacks, carts and vehicles of every description will take notice and conform to the above requisition.
GEO. H. THACHER, Mayor.

HALL'S HILL, Va., Nov. 5th, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
Ten days' experience in camp has given us a little taste of the pleasures of a soldier's life. We are comfortably situated at present, and the only question that perplexes the mind of not a few is, can we winter comfortably with our present conveniences and clothing? Instead of leaving this question to the officers, who care as much for us as we for ourselves, it is thought proper to discuss it in every group that assembles upon the corners. Our friends may rest assured that when the "cold stormy winds of December" sound their doleful dirges over the whited hills of the North, we shall be cosily housed in some snug place in "Dixie."
There are more cases of sickness than usual at present. This might be expected on leaving the thick-walled barracks and elevated bunks for beds of boughs on the damp ground, protected from the cold and damp only by the thin covering of a canvas tent. There are quite a number of cases of the measles, and they are daily increasing. This epidemic is likely to visit all that have not had them. The officers look well to the cleanliness and healthy condition of the camp-ground, spending much time daily in sweeping and putting things in order. This is also true of the neighboring camps. Our regiment has been assigned to Gen. Butterfield's brigade—Gen. Porter's division. Gen. Butterfield spoke to us to-day in regard to the reputation that we had gained, and the pleasure that he had in knowing that we were to be placed in his brigade. He gave us timely warning against loosing our reputation by inattention or carelessness on our part, or by supposing that we knew it all. His remarks will undoubtedly be of great benefit to us.
Forty of our boys went on a foraging expedition one day last week, and succeeded in getting ten large loads of hay and a "secesher," who had wandered from his camp in search of some liquor. He expressed great confidence in his cause, and regretted that he could fight us no longer. He is represented as being poorly dressed and dirty.
Last Saturday, one hundred and forty of our men, and enough from the other regiments to increase the number to about two or three hundred, went on picket duty. The rain poured down all day and nearly all night without cessation, causing us to think of times of which we have read. Some of us, kept in reserve, spent the night shivering under the broad branches of the fruitless apple trees, while others fared but little better in the out-buildings and wagons of the farm. Quite a singular incident occurred during the first night that we were out. Lieut.-Col. Rice was taken prisoner by a Union picket. The sentinel did not have the right countersign. Each supposing the other to be an enemy, both made ready their revolvers, but fortunately neither attempted to fire. After the Colonel had satisfied himself that his captors were friends, he went back with them about three miles to headquarters, where it was shown that it was all right.
A scouting party, detailed from the reserve, searched the country several miles beyond our pickets, without finding any rebel camps or rebel pickets. It is generally believed that there are no rebels within ten or fifteen miles of us. Various opinions are entertained relative to an advanced position of the army, but undoubtedly the better conclusion is that there will be no advance movement made till Gen. McClellan is fully prepared to give rebellion the finishing stroke. This may be within a few days, and may be many weeks first. The army is increasing by thousands almost every day, and the most thorough and formidable preparations are being made for a decisive victory. This demonstration will be made at the right time and in the right place, for the responsibility rests upon the right men. But why need there be haste in this movement? So long as our army is daily stronger, and so long as the rebels are falling back, and so long as our troops are filing into their defenseless coast cities, capturing forts and confiscating property, why need there be a great sacrifice of life by a hasty attack on their fortified places. But there may be expected great results when the grand forward movement is made. Failure is not on our banner. The Richmond Whig may say, in despair of their cause: "The possibility of success is not within the range of accident;" but not so with our cause. We may safely say, in view of our superior financial and numerical strength, and in view of the righteousness of the cause in which we are engaged, if we keep in remembrance the Overruling Power that gave our fathers success in war, the possibility of failure is not within the range of accident. Dieu defend le droit, (God defend the right.) Yours for the Union,
M.SHAW.

HEADQUARTERS 44TH REGIMENT N. Y. S. V.,
CAMP BUTTERFIELD, HALL'S HILL, VA.,
November 28th, 1861.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
As your paper is taken by most of the citizens of Trenton and vicinity, I thought I would write a few lines to you to let you and my friends know how we are situated, and if you feel inclined you can publish them. We are encamped upon Hall's Hill, one and a half miles from Munson Hill, and three miles from Fall's Church. We arrived here the 28th of October, (just one week from the day we left Albany,) about 7 1/2 o'clock, after a tedious march of about, 10 hours and 18 miles travel, and were quite surprised to find that the 83d Pennsylvania regiment had pitched our tents and had a good warm supper ready for us, which we did ample justice to, I assure you.
We are in Gen. Butterfield's Brigade and Porter's Division. Our brigade is composed of the New York 17th and 44th regiments, and the Pennsylvania 83d and Michigan 2d regiments. We drill about six hours a day, so you see we don't have much time to ourselves. We have knapsack drill from 7 to 8 A. M.; battalion drill from 10 to 12; and brigade drill from 2 to 5 P. M. We drill mostly in skirmishing, bayonet exercise and target shooting. The measles have broken out in camp and most of the men have had them. We lost six men last week, whose names I here give: Company C, George W. Schermerhorn, of Albany county, and Nathan A. Wilson, of Salem, Washington county; Company D, Elias D. Gardner, of Burlington, Otsego county; Company E, Albert C. Belcher, of Newark Valley, Tioga county; Company F, Charles W. Chappel, of Schuyler Lake, Otsego county; Company I, John F. Hime, of Hamburgh, Erie county.
Last week Wednesday, our regiment, together with 71,000 more troops, were reviewed by General McClellan and President Lincoln, in a field of about 200 acres, near Bailey's Cross Roads. It was the largest number of troops ever reviewed at one time. There was a perfect sea of heads as far as the eye could reach. From 9 o'clock A. M. until 1 P. M. every road leading to the review ground was crowded as far as you could see. At 1 o'clock the President and General made their appearance on the ground. They were greeted with cheers from the men as they passed, and our band struck up "Hail to the Chief." A salute from the batteries was also fired as they came upon the ground.
Last Sunday, Gen. McClellan came to see us parade, and when we were done he told our Colonel that our regiment was the best drilled and finest looking regiment that he had ever reviewed. That was something big for the Commander-in-Chief of our army to say, when there are so many fine regiments in the field.
Last Tuesday night, a messenger came into camp post haste, with the report that our pickets had been attacked by the rebels and driven in two miles.—
Five regiments were sent out, but it was found to be the Pennsylvania 3d regiment of cavalry that had been attacked, about nine miles beyond our lines.—They were surrounded by the rebels and had to fight their way out. They lost 15 men, and a sorrier looking lot of men you never saw than they were when they came within our lines—some on foot—some on horse back—some minus hats, coats, &c., with their faces and arms scratched by the bushes. One lieutenant came in the next morning with his head cut by a sabre; he had lain out in the woods all night. Our pickets were advanced one mile yesterday; they are now about three miles from Fall's Church towards Centerville. We expect to move on in a few days, but in what direction we don't know; we hope it is South Carolina, for it is so cold here that we are willing to have a little fighting just for the sake of getting into a warmer climate.
Yours, for the country,
Sergeant GARDNER S. PARKER,
Company D, 44th Regiment, N. Y. S. V.
… and w... beneficial. The army is in much better condition for service than when it came into Maryland. The men have lost that haggard, despairing look and appear like themselves again. True, the old enthusiasm has not, and probably never can be aroused again, but there is an earnest wish to have the war ended at once and a willingness to do anything and every-thing to accomplish this, that perhaps will answer just as well. The common remark is, "we have seen enough of fighting, but we are willing to march and fight if we can only bring the war to a close." With such a spirit "the army" will make its mark in the coming campaign. Our regiment is now the second as regards numbers in the Brigade. Two of the old companies, E and C, have been consolidated with the others and two new ones take their places. These, with the recruits for the old companies, have increased our number up to four hundred and seventy-five. We begin to make a respectable appearance again when drawn up in line. Still, it is not the old 44th, and can never seem the same to the original members. A year ago yesterday we crossed into Virginia, a thousand strong. To-day, not two hundred of that number are in the ranks. Should the future prove as disastrous to us as the past, the number who see the end of their term of enlistment, will be fearfully small. We all hope for better things but fear the worse.
Gen. Butterfield reviewed us to day for the last time. He goes, as I understand, to take command of a division. A braver and better officer cannot be found in the army. Were all like him, the rebellion would soon be crushed. Col. Stockton of the 10th Michigan commands the brigade at present. We are under "marching orders" and expect every day to move. Whether we are to go to a new picket ground, cross the river, or go towards Washington we know not. It is something to know that there is a prospect of our moving. It does not seem possible that Government will keep the six hundred thousand new men idle all the fall and winter. I should think one such experience would suffice. But in these times we must be prepared to expect anything and it may be the old policy will be carried on still longer. The weather has been cod, very cold, for a few days past. Many of us left our knapsacks with our overcoats and extra clothing at Washington and, as a consequence, we suffer from the cold very much. This is one of the ills of a soldier's life, but we hope it will soon be rectified. The health of the regiment is unusually good, much better than at any time since we went to the Peninsula.
In my next I hope to be able to report some progress towards finishing up the War. It certainly is time and it must be done soon. Truly Yours,
M. H. B.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Co. A, the Erie county company in the Ellsworth Regiment lost four killed and seventeen wounded in the last battle. Among the killed was Capt. Kraft, commanding the company. The Regiment lost 111 in all, more than one-third of the number it went in with.
MORNING EXPRESS.
THE 44TH (ELLSWORTH) REGIMENT.—Captain E. S. Johnson, of Schodack, has received a letter from his son, Lieut. Seth Johnson, of the gallant 4th Regiment, in which it is stated that the regiment had the extreme advance in the crossing of the army to attack the Rebels.
THE WOUNDED IN ALBANY REGIMENTS.—The following are reported among the wounded in the late battles. Those in the 44th are reported slightly wounded and in hospital at Washington:—
44TH REGIMENT.

James Bauen, Co. C,
Andrew J. Taylor, Co. G,
James Hendrickson, Co. F,
Lieut. Huested, by a shell.
The 44th.
In the battle of Gettysburg, the 44th N. Y. ("Ellsworth") Regiment went in with three hundred men, and of that number one hundred and eleven were killed, wounded, and missing. DAVID DUNHAM, Jr., of this town, writes that the men on each side of him were killed and a ball passed through his own coat sleeve.
LOCAL MATTERS.
FROM THE 44TH (ELLSWORTH) REGIMENT.—The following extract of a letter from a member of the 44th will be found interesting by those having friends in that regiment:
IN FRONT OF THE ENEMY AT GETTYSBURG,
PENN., July, 1863.
About half-past two we received orders to go the front, and about half-past three we took our position on a hill, and just in time to save our flank, for we had not more than got in position before a brigade of rebels charged upon us, but were handsomely repulsed. We either killed, wounded or took prisoners more than four-fifths of the 4th and 5th Texas regiments. The musketry fire was about the severest that we were ever under, and lasted till dark. In all, we had 111 killed and wounded—more than one-third of those we went in with—but night soon put an end to the firing. We lost more in this fight than we ever did in any other. Our brigade commander was wounded, so Col. Rice is in command of the brigade now. This fight is the first one in which we ever had any officers killed. Capt. Lorbey and Lieut. Dunham were shot dead, and one Captain and three Lieutenants wounded.
THE CITY AND VICINITY.
WOUNDED OF CO. A, 44TH REGIMENT.—The following wounded of Co. A, 44th Regiment, N. Y. V., are now in the hospital at Gettysburg: Joseph Harnagan, leg; Robt. Burns, thigh; Wm. M. Morris, knee; Henry C. Kenele, eye; Allen J. Herd, neck and breast; John Steele, thigh; S. Cheesman, foot; Thos. Hunt, leg; Lewis F. Ferram, face; Justan Bennett, back; Julian Rowlton, knee; Jacob Wagner, arm; Wm. Cunningham, shoulder.
APPOINTMENT.—Lieut. CHAS. E. PEASE, of this city, formerly of the Forty-fourth New York regiment, has been appointed Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of Captain, and assigned to duty on Gen. VAN ALLEN'S Staff.
Wounded.—The only member of the 44th Regiment from this vicinity whose name appears among the wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, is Henry L. Todd. Mr. Todd is well remembered here as a steady and very intelligent young carpenter, who worked a year or two for the Waits.
PERSONAL.—Lieut. Col. Connor, of the 44th Regiment, is in town. He was wounded in the arm at the battle of Fredericksburg. Lieut. Col. Conner's name seldom appears in print, but he is nevertheless one of the best officers in that, or any other regiment.
THE FORTY-FOURTH.—In a letter to E. S. Johnson, Esq., of Schodack Landing, from his son, Lt. J., of the 44th, it is stated that the Regiment had the extreme advance in the crossing of the army to attack the Rebels.
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
FROM THE FORTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.—We make the following extract from a letter written by a member of Company F, 4th (Ellsworth) Regiment:
We left our new camp on the 28th of May, and are now at Banks's Ford, a very handsome place. Our brigade extends from Banks' Ford to Richard's Ford, a distance of about eight miles. There are four Regiments in this brigade, viz: the 83d Pennsylvania, 20th Maine, 16th Michigan, and 44th New York Volunteers. When we came here there was one company of cavalry doing picket, which we relieved. Our regiment is in two parts—the right wing at the right of the Ford, and the left wing at or near the centre—and the 1st Ohio battery of six brass twelve pounders—three guns with each wing.
The rebel pickets are on the other side of the river, and ours this side. They do not fire at each other. The pickets of both sides go in swimming. The rebel pickets are not permitted to converse with us. All they say is, if we don't fire they will not. To-day one of their pickets was sitting with his back turned toward us, and one of our boys, named Lynch, swam over before he was discovered by the "reb," and ejaculated, "Hallo, old boy, what are you doing there?" The fellow looked around apparently amazed at seeing the Union soldier in the water, and replied, "come over here quick." Lynch "couldn't see it," in that light, and immediately returned to his companions.
Another of the boys swam across and got a Richmond paper, and came back to camp "safe and sound."
As I remarked before, this is the nicest place I have ever seen since leaving home. I write this letter in an old house—or, at least, made old by the soldiers. It is pretty well gone to ruin. But I don’t think we can enjoy the pleasure of stopping here long, as, while I am writing, it is intimated by the "knowing ones" that we have received orders to move. If we stay I shall endeavor to give you a better idea of the place in my next. H. B.
DEPARTURE OF THE PEOPLE'S REGIMENT.
ALBANY, Oct. 21.
The Ellsworth regiment, numbering 1,060 muskets, left this afternoon for Washington. There was a perfect ovation at the departure of this Regiment, whose members have won hosts of friends during their sojourn at this depot. They are decidedly the finest body of troops that have left the city since the war commenced. Prior to their departure, a handsome banner was presented to the regiment, by the wife of Hon. Erastus Corning, with appropriate ceremonies.
We see that our fellow townsman First Lieutenant Charles E. Pease, Forty-fourth New York, has been appointed Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of captain, and assigned to duty with Brigadier General Van Allen.
The following parody on "Rock me to sleep, mother," was written by a member of Co. D, 44th Regiment, a resident of this city, and was recently read before the Debating Society of that Regiment:
THE RECRUIT'S LAMENT.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in your flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night;
Take me away from this valley of mud,
Bore me no more with powder and blood.
Bear me away from this fountain of tears,
Far from the sound of orders and jeers;
I have grown weary of Uncle Sam's work,
Weary of living on "hard tack" and pork.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in my flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night;
Why did you torture me, Corporal, thus,
Why get me into this devilish muss;
Had you no heart in your bosom of clay,
Thus to entice me from freedom away;
Did you not know (that's where the shoe pinches)
That hanging is better than dying by inches?
Backward, turn backward, oh time, in thy flight,
Make me a citizen just for to-night;
I have grown tired of trouble and toil,
Tired of tramping on Chivalry's soil;
Tired of having no brandy or rum.
Do send me home, Doctor, do send me home.
Many the faces that wish I was there,
Many the creditors left in despair;
Many the bantlings that pray he will come,
De send me home, Doctor, do send me home.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in thy flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night;
Let me a citizen gallant and gay be,
Send me back home to my w ife and my baby;
Le me go back to the Home Guards again,
Music of cannon oppresseth my brain;
Once I was brave and sound as a brick,
Whistling of bullets have rendered me sick.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in thy flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night.
Once I was brave and still I am zealous,
Once I had lungs like a blacksmith's bellows;
But tell the plain truth, accursed be the pegs,
I put too much faith in my confounded legs;
My courage was good, but my legs had a tendency
Always to run, and they got the ascendancy;
Oh take me back where the bullets don't rustle
The hair of one's head, then feel of my muscle,
Take me where bullets and bombs don't come,
Do take me home, mother, do take me home.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in thy flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night;
Hasten my pleasure, ye Gods, if ye can,
Make me once more a family man;
I will be brave—as brave as a lion,
Let me Old Albany once get my eye on;
I will cry "onward" and write editorial
Frigid or warm, Auroral or Boreal,
I will be bold to counsel and think,
Shed for my country my heart's rarest ink;
Stand at no work, however inglorious,
Foolish, fanatical—ever laborious;
If, oh sweet Doctor, thou picture of beauty,
Thou wilt discharge me from war and its duty.
Backward, roll backward, oh time, in thy flight,
Make me a citizen just for a night;
Take back the bounty, the golden advance
That were all the chains to my earlier glance;
Send me away to the land of white collars;
You bought me too cheap for three hundred dollars;
You told me also a beautiful story
Of honor and fame, soft bread and glory;
But send me back, Uncle Sam, do,
I will leave honor and glory to you.

FROM THE FORTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.—We make the following extract from a letter written by a member of Company F, 44th (Ellsworth) Regiment:

FROM THE 44TH REGIMENT.—We are permitted to publish the following letter from Sergt. Julius H. Hatch, Jr., Co. A, 44th Regt., N. Y. Vols., written to his relatives in this city:
ON THE FIELD NEAR GETTYSBURG,
July 5th, 1863—8 P. M.
I have only time to write you a few lines, to assure you that I am safe and well. Since I last wrote you we have marched about 200 miles in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and were engaged in the battles of the 2d and 3d here. Our regiment lost many—one company more than half its number. I had my pants torn by a bullet, which grazed my leg, but did no injury; and of a group of eleven near me nine were hit. The enemy left our front this A. M., and are probably in full retreat for the Potomac. Our advance is after them. They left most of their dead and wounded on the field; and any quantity of arms and equipments. Our company alone has brought in over fifty rebel muskets. They lay scattered around the field in every direction. This has been the most destructive fight I ever saw.
OTSEGO COUNTY.
— Elias B. Gardner, of West Burlington, a member of the Ellsworth Regiment, died last Tuesday week at Camp Butterfield, Va. He died of inflammation of the lungs, and was sick two weeks. He was highly esteemed as a good soldier and a loyal man. His body was sent to his friends. This, we believe, is the first death in the regiment.
—The winter term of Unadilla Academy begins December 4th, 1861.

ANTIETAM FORD, MD.,
October 28th, 1862.
FRIEND STEBBINS:—
Since my last letter to you everything has been so still and quiet in our camp that I could find nothing that I thought would be of interest to you and so have neglected to write till now. However, as there all the indications of a movement of our corps to be made very soon, the sluggish blood begins to quicken in the veins, the old patriotic fire to brighten again and I feel in the mood to write even if I can find nothing of interest to record.
Since the battle of Antietam we have been lying by, resting, if it can be called resting, where we have to go "on picket" three times a week and fill up the intervals with drilling. Still, we have but little reason to complain. Our picket duty is easy and the drill light; compared with that we performed at Hall's Hill last fall and winter. The result has been most ...
WOUNDED OF CO. A, 44TH REGIMENT.—The following wounded of Co. A, 44th Regiment N. Y. V., are now in the hospital at Gettysburg:
Joseph Harnagan, leg; Robt. Burns, thigh; Wm. M. Morris, knee; Henry C. Kenele, eye; Allen J. Herd, neck and breast; John Steel, thigh; S. Cheesman, foot; Thos Hunt, leg; Lewis F. Ferram, face; Justan Bennett, back; Julian Rowlton, knee; Jacob Wagner, arm; Wm, Cunningham, shoulder.
THE BATTLE-FLAG OF THE 44TH.—The torn and bullet-pierced flag of the 44th (Ellsworth). Regiment, which was presented to them before they left this city, yesterday morning adorned the front of Erastus Corning & Co.'s warehouse on Broadway, where it will remain for several days, to be seen by all who may be desirous of looking upon the emblem of many a battle, pierced with bullets and stained with blood.
THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Co. A, the Erie county company in the Ellsworth Regiment lost four killed and seventeen wounded in the last battle. Among the killed was Capt. Kraft, commanding the company. The Regiment lost 111 in all, more than one-third of the number went in with.
Goshen.
We regret to learn that Webster Duryea, son of Alpheus Duryea of this town, member of the 44th N. Y. V. Volunteers, (Ellsworth Regiment,) was killed in the late battle near Gettysburg. He was wounded, and while his comrades were taking him off the field, a shell struck him and killed him instantly. This regiment, like the 124th, has seen hard service, and ranking among the bravest of the brave, its numbers are sadly reduced.—Goshen Democrat.
FROM THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—We are permitted to use for publication, a letter received by D. SHAPLEY, Esq., of New Hartford, from his son who represents that town most ably in New York's best regiment. Of late the regiment has been praised on all sides, and their course will be watched with great interest:
KALORAMA HEIGHTS, Oct. 26, 1861.
CAMP PEOPLE'S ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.
DEAR FATHER—We arrived here last night after a tedious journey, since last Monday. I expected we should remain here for some days, but to-night at _ o'clock P. M., we have orders to pack up and march over to Virginia. The order was received with cheers. I am writing this with my accoutrements on, all ready to march, not knowing the place of destination. As near as I can find out, we shall stop at Arlington Heights to act as reserve. Col. Stryker has received a second dispatch, saying we shall not march until Monday. We shall then be reviewed by Gen. McClellan, and be attached to the brigade of Gen. Howard, our regiment to have the right. I am well, but feel about worn out, having lost much rest the last week. Two Corporals in my tent are sick with the measles. I should not be surprised if it went through the regiment. I am somewhat pleased with camp life and the romance connected with it. It seems more like the 4th of July here; it is bung bang all the time. There are some 4000 or 5000 men within a few miles, who practice each day. Everything is quiet at present. Do not know how soon we shall have a fight. I shall write a more interesting letter in a few days, or as soon as we get settled. From your son,
D. SHAPLEY, JR.
On Furlough.—James E. Spry of this village and a member of the 44th Regt. N. Y. S. V., is home on a short furlough. We had the pleasure of a long talk with him on Monday. He represents the Army of the Potomac as in fine condition, and states that Hooker has the entire confidence of the army. Mr. S. is now a Clerk in the commissary Department in the army.—He says he is a Democrat still but not a Copperhead. This is his first visit home since his enlistment. Good for Jim.
PERSONAL—Dr. J. D. Steward, assistant surgeon in the 44th, having mostly recovered from his wounds received at the battle of Gettysburgh [sic] returned to the army on Monday last.
—EDWARD B. NORTHUP, the son of H. B. Northup of this village, and formerly of the 44th Regt., N. Y. S. V., has received a Lieutenants commission in the Invalid Corps.—Sandy Hill Herald.
LIEUTENANT VANDERZEE.—Lieut. John G. VANDERZEE went to the field as Color Sergeant of the 44th Regiment. A few months since he was promoted to the post of Second Lieutenant of the 25th, which immortalized itself at Hanover Court House. In that battle, he had command of Company A—its Captain and First Lieutenant being sick. He did his duty so well, that the General of the Brigade has transferred him to the command of Company F, whose Captain was taken prisoner, and whose First and Second Lieutenants were disabled. In a letter just received from him, he says: "I never felt better in my life than when it rained bullets around me at Hanover, and I am in perfect health now."
APPOINTMENT.—Lieut. CHAS. E. PEASE, of this city, formerly of the Forty-fourth New York regiment, has been appointed Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of Captain, and assigned to duty on Gen. VAN ALLEN'S Staff.
—The Tribune's Washington dispatch, dated Friday, says:
The 44th New York (Ellsworths) was a wonder to us this afternoon. Hackneyed as we are in marching regiments, nothing in the army can compare with it. It is the finest body of men ever enlisted on this continent. Its march through the Avenue made a great sensation.
THE 44TH.—In a letter to E. S. JOHNSON, Esq., of Schodack Landing, from his son, Lieut. J., of the 44th, we learn that that Regiment had the extreme advance in the crossing of the army to attack the Rebels.
WOUNDED OF THE 44TH (ELLSWORTH) REGIMENT—Among the wounded soldiers who reached Washington, on Tuesday, from Fredericksburg, none of whom were very seriously hurt, were the following members of the 44th Regiment:
Asaph Holdridge, Co. G; Sergeant W. Johnson, Co. G; James Bauen, Co. C; Andrew J. Taylor, Co. G; Henry C. Dennis, Co. E.
THE LOSSES AT HANOVER.—The following has been received in Buffalo: HANOVER, 28th May.
To W. B. PECK: Major Chapin, of the 44th, was seriously wounded in our fight yesterday. Will get particulars and telegraph.
DANIEL BUTTERFIELD, Brig. Gen.
Forty-fourth New York: Sergeant Wm. Ellis, Co. E, top of right ear shot off. The truth about the Forty-fourth is that they had about twenty killed and forty wounded, among them the Major. The Forty-fourth is in the brigade of Gen. Dan Butterfield.
Edward B. Northup, the son of H. B. Northup of this village, and formerly of the 44th Regt., N. Y. S. V. has received a Lieutenants commission in the Invalid Corps.

NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS.—The Ellsworth Regiment were paid off Saturday. The money—$20,000—was advanced to Major Richardson by Erastus Corning, in anticipation of its reception from Washington.
Madison.—The citizens of this town met Monday evening at the Baptist Church, and organized an Ellsworth town association. Thirty-six volunteer subscriptions of $1 each were immediately made, and solicitors appointed to circulate subscriptions in the different parts of the town. An Executive Committee of five was appointed, and also a committee of three to select the volunteers. Speeches were made suitable to the occasion, by the Chairman, Dea. Brigham, Rev. Mr. Sharts and Rev. Mr. Swift.
The meeting adjourned to Friday evening this week, at this place, when we expect the association will number one hundred.
JOHN W. LIPPETT, Ch'n.
ALLEN CURTIS, Sec'y.
Dated Madison, Aug. 6, 1861.
NEW HARTFORD.—At a meeting held last Friday evening, a town organization to assist in raising the Ellsworth or People's Regiment was effected, and already the soldier to represent the town has been selected, and the money for his equipment raised. The man selected is DAVID SHAPLEY, Jr., of whom a correspondent writes viz: Mr. SHAPLEY is a young man who stands high in society, strictly moral and of true integrity. He is a graduate of Whitestown Seminary, and also of Bassett's Commercial College." He will soon make many friends in the regiment, I am confident."
—The Ellsworth Regiment will receive one month's pay this week. They will leave for Washington, probably, early next week.
PEOPLE'S ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Charles C. La Grange, Guilderland, Albany county, and Albert Morgan, Dover Plains, Dutchess county, have been selected to represent said towns in this Regiment.
Hon. ERASTUS CORNING telegraphed last evening from Washington, that this regiment will be accepted by the Government.
CHAS. HUGHES, Secretary.
NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS.—Two skeleton regiments—the People's regiment and Col. Vinton's—were mustered into the United States service at the Albany barracks on Friday.
—The Peoples' Ellsworth Regiment, to the number of about 900, were reviewed by Major General Morgan and Staff, Monday afternoon. Between six and eight thousand persons witnessed the review, and the reputation of the Regiment as one of the best, if not the best Volunteer Regiment in the State, was fully established.
THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—The Albany Journal says the ranks are being rapidly filled up. Nearly 700 men are now enrolled. The committee have selected Maj. J. B. RICE, who served as Adjutant in the Garibaldi Guards, as Lieutenant Colonel. He is a gentleman of the highest character, tried bravery, and of conceded soldiery skill. He will be popular with the Regiment, as he is with all who have known him—as many of our citizens have—from boyhood up. Schreiber's Band is to be attached to the Regiment—one of the finest in the State.
—The Ellsworth Regiment is rapidly filling up. They spend six hours out of the twenty-four in drilling under experienced and competent officers, and devote their leisure time to athletic sports. The Regiment bids fair to be an honor to the State.
THE ELLSWORTHS.—This regiment is now practically full. The full quota has not yet been mustered in; but there are men enough on the rolls to bring it up to 1040.
Lieut. Munday, of Seneca county, has been appointed Quartermaster. He is a young gentleman of fine character and thorough business qualifications.
Rev. Mr. Pease, a Presbyterian clergyman of eminent fitness, of Saratoga county, has been appointed Chaplain.
The fatigue uniform of the Regiment—of Zouave cut—will be ready next week. It will be very neat. In ten days they will be ready to march.—Albany Journal, 5th.
THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—The Greene (Chenango county) American has a rumor that the Ellsworth People's Regiment is expected to be ordered to Missouri in about a week. There is no official announcement of the fact, but Chenango county has a considerable number of officers and men in the Regiment, and from some of them the information was probably obtained.
—On Monday morning, Messrs. W. E. Lewis and Paul B. Clark, of Preston, and Geo. Webb and C. Rorepough, of Smithville, left for Albany to join the Ellsworth Regiment.
THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Mr. David SHAPLEY, JR., OF NEW Hartford, called on us yesterday, on his way to join his regiment at Albany.
Extract of a Letter from the 44th Reg't.
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Va.
April 3d, 1862.
* * * * * *
Everything is quiet here. We had our inspection to-day by Lieut. Col. Webb, of Gen. Meade's Staff. The regiment was in splendid shape. The inspection was for the purpose of getting more furloughs granted, for both officers and men. I think it will be a success. It has been reported here that our corps (that is the 5th) is to go to Kentucky soon, but I think it is only a report. If we move I will let you know. Capt. Gibbs and all the officers are well.
Respectfully, S. F. J., 44th Reg't., N. Y. V.
WOUNDED OF Co. A, 44TH REGIMENT.—The following wounded of Co. A, 44th Regt., N. Y. Vols., are now in the hospital at Gettysburg:
Joseph Harnegan, leg; Robert Barnes, thigh; Wm. M. Morris, knee; Henry C. Kencle, eye; Allen J. Herd, neck and breast; John Steel, thigh; S. Cheeseman, foot; Thomas Hunt, leg; Lewis F. Ferram, face; Justan Bennett, back; Julian Rowlton, knee; Jacob Wagner, arm; Wm. Cunningham, shoulder.
ARRIVAL OF OFFICERS OF THE 44TH.—Capt. Charles W. Gibbs, Lieut. Graves and six Sergeants, of the 44th Regiment, arrived in town on Saturday. They go hence to Elmira to take charge of the conscripts at that depot. Major Knox, formerly of this city, proceeded direct from Harrisburg for the same purpose.
Personal.—Capt. Chas. W. Gibbs, Lieut. Anthony Graves, Jr. and Sergeant Bomus, of the 44th (Ellsworth) Regiment, arrived in town Saturday. They are en route for Elmira, having been detailed for special duty, the reception and charge of conscripts. Major Knox will meet them at the rendezvous with six privates from the 44th.
Our Albany friends are all well and hearty, having escaped injury during the recent severe battles in Pennsylvania. As might be expected they are all in excellent spirits, on account of the recent brilliant achivements [sic] of the glorious Army of the Potomac, with which they have been connected since its organization.
HOME MATTERS.
From the 44th Regiment—An Advance Movement Expected.
Correspondence of the Times & Courier.
Camp Near Falmouth, Va., April 14.
We have orders to be ready to move to-morrow. The men are to carry five days rations and the officers eight. All the Cavalry went yesterday and we must soon follow. We are all ready to go. The roads are in good order and the weather is splendid. I think we have any amount of hard work and fighting to do this month.
We received notice last night that Lieut. Col. Connor had been honorably discharged from the service. You know he was wounded at Fredericksburgh [sic] and has been home since that time, it being over sixty days, and I suppose he was discharged on that account. The men are in good spirits and ready to move. If we have any fighting to do, you will hear a good account from the 44th. Respectfully yours, J.
OTSEGO COUNTY.
DEATH OF A SOLDIER.—At a meeting of the members of Company F, 44th (People's Ellsworth) Regiment, called in consequence of the death of their late esteemed comrade and fellow soldier, Charles Chappell, on motion, it was unanimously resolved that a series of resolutions be drawn as expressive of their sense at this bereavement, and to forward to his afflicted family a copy thereof.
In pursuance of the above, it is
Resolved, That in the death of our late brother soldier, Charles Chappell, we have lost a faithful comrade, the cause in which we are engaged an earnest supporter, and the service a young and promising soldier. Whatever may be our loss, or that of the army in the early decease of our comrade, it is our stern duty to bow to the mandate of an all-wise God, and in meek submission acknowleddge [sic] His right to rule among men, and feel that whatever He willeth is for our temporal and temporal good and welfare."
Resolved, That to the parents and family of our deceased comrade, we offer a soldier's heartfelt consolation and sympathy in this their hour of affliction. Though our own grief is keenly felt on this sad occasion, it must be as naught in comparison to that of an affectionate family. It is our fervent hope that the trial may be borne with resignation and fortitude, and we again ask them to accept our heartfelt sympathies in their bereavement.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased.
Camp Butterfield, Hall's Hill, Va., November 26, 1861.

THE ELSWORTH REGIMENT.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT.
A sketch of the Ellsworth Regiment, the part it has performed in the war and what has become of it, will be interesting to our readers. We are indebted for the following statement to Col. RICE:—
The Forty-fourth Regiment New York State Volunteers, was originally composed of 1028 men, rank and file, selected from the different towns and villages throughout the State of New York, and it entered the service of the United States on the 8th day of August, 1861.
The average height of the rank and file of this regiment was five feet ten and a half inches, and more than four hundred of the same averaged six feet.
The average age of the rank and file was twenty-two years.
On or about the 1st of November, 1861, the regiment marched into Virginia. Forming a part of the 3d Brigade, under the command of Gen. Butterfield, it became very proficient in the manual of arms and battalion drill, through the efficiency of that thorough disciplinarian and accomplished officer.
Since the 1st of November, 1861, this regiment has marched 713 miles, performed 103 days of picket and fatigue duty, and drilled 147 days on an average of five hours per day.
The regiment has been engaged in the following battles, viz: Seige [sic] of Yorktown, Hanover Court House, Gaines Mills, Turkey Bend, Malvern Hill, Groveton, Antietam and Fredericksburg.
In the battle of Hanover Court House the regiment lost, in killed and wounded, twenty-five per cent of its force engaged. In the battle of Gaines Mills the loss was twenty per cent, and in the battle of Malvern Hill the loss was forty-five per cent. At the latter battle the regiment charged, at a critical moment in the fortunes of the day, upon an entire brigade of the enemy, put it to flight and captured its stand of colors.
The total number, rank and file, of the original members of the regiment, killed and wounded, is 314; of deaths by disease, 67; discharged for disability, 207; detached from the regiment, 45; promoted to the rank of commissioned officers in this and other regiments, 32; discharged by order of the Secretary of War, including musicians, 50.
Of the original rank and file there are:—Present for duty at this date (Feb. 1st, 1863,) 229; present sick in camp, 9; absent sick, 125.

No accurate account of the number of the wounded that have died from their wounds, or been discharged on account thereof has as yet been received by the Adjutant of the Regiment, and, therefore, all such of the rank and file have been included under the head of discharged for disability, and those of the wounded who are absent and unfit for duty are included among the absent sick.
The following officers of the regiment have been wounded in battle, namely:—Lieutenant Colonel Conner, Major Chapin, Adjutant Knox, Captains Larrabee, Nash, Van Derlip, Shaffer, Becker, Gibbs, McRoberts and Woodworth, Lieutenants Fox, Hardenburg, Kelley, Graves and Gaskill. Five officers were on detached service, three had resigned, and two had died before the first engagement.
In several battles not all of the regiment was engaged, a large number of soldiers having been left as camp guard.
HOME MATTERS.
ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
From the 44th Regiment.
We are permitted to make the following extracts from a letter received by CHARLES R. JOHNSON, from GEORGE H. SPRY, of the 44th Regiment. We wish we had space to print the entire letter, but as it is must content ourselves with the following:
STONEMAN'S SWITCH, NEAR FALMOUTH, Va.,
May 18, 1863.
Most of the two years and nine months men have already left the army. Every train that has passed towards Acqua Creek for the last two weeks has been loaded with discharged Regiments. I assure you they are all jolly over their home prospect.
George Pabodie was here last week. He will be home next month. He has been a good soldier and will come home with a clean record. Yesterday I was over to the 5th Excelsior, and saw Lieutenant Terry, and David Hetzel. Capt. R. A. Stanton is Ordnance Officer on the Staff of Gen. Graham, Commander of the 3d Division, 3d Corps. Stanton is a good soldier, and I am glad he is appreciated.
I presume you have read much of Hooker's late movements and are anxious to know how they are regarded in the army. My observation assures me that his plans and movements were admirable, and that but for certain events which no human being could foresee or avert, we should now be in Richmond. Every intelligent soldier in the Army of the Potomac admires
Gen. Hooker more than ever, for on the field he fully sustained his reputation as "Fighting Joe," and manifested that military skill and resource which should be expected of so grand an army. The battles which were fought across the Rappahannock were terribly desperate, and the enemy must have lost nearly twenty thousand in killed and wounded. I assure you Charley, the troops came off that blood-stained field feeling that they had whipped the enemy, and believing that our retrograde movement was expedient, and necessary to the future success of our arms. What army in the world, in the same length of time, ever did more or any better fighting than this army has done?
The Army of the Potomac has saved the Northern Border States from invasion, saved our Capitol, and given the "Home Guard," the pleasing assurance, that as yet the country is safe. The memorable battle-fields, almost within hearing distance of Washington, where bleach the bones of heroic soldiers should be sacred to the memory of the "Army of the Potomac," an army unequalled for its valor and discipline in the whole world. What though this war lasts ten years, should we be any the less certain of final victory? The spirits of our Revolutionary fathers, and of the illustrious dead of the campaign answer No! I want to see a certain class of people in Chenango County, who have been at their ease the last two years, double quicking with a knapsack on and going into a fight where they can taste of battle. There have been times heretofore when I felt blue, but those times are past. The prospects of the Government are encouraging, and already our national horizon brightens with the sunshine of foreshadowed victory. Tell the people of Norwich that "all is well" with our army. As I learn more of military, and more fully realize the necessities of our cause, I see how necessary it is that every man should stand firm by the Government, and crush every symptom of treason in the army, or at home. Everything looks cheering to me, and I am in earnest when I tell you that the army is in good spirits and has the utmost confidence in Gen. Hooker.
I send you a photograph of our flag, which has seen many hard fought battles. Its bullet holes and broken staff tell whether or not the 44th has done its duty. Yours ever,
GEO. H. SPRY.
From the 44th Regiment.
CAMP OF THE 44TH REG. VA.
May 18th, 1863.
Mr. Editor. —I promised you a letter after the battle, if I did not get my head pushed off on the occasion, so I fulfill, and do so more willingly after reading the comments of the New York papers on this last great conflict. Never before have I seen such misrepresentations of any movement we have made. It seems to be a malicious attempt of reporters to vent their impotent rage upon Hooker, and Butterfield because they were kept from the usually cowardly enjoyment of seeing a terrific battle at a safe distance.
" You must keep this side of the river, Gentlemen, says Gen. Hooker to the sneaks. If you go over you must shoulder muskets, I'll have nothing but fighting man over there." This was a different business to any they had been accustomed to, yet they must send some report to the N. Y. papers, if they fabricated one, hence the infamous stories now afloat. Not wishing to take for soldiers more credit than truth will allow I wish the people of Oxford to have a correct version from one who was in all, and through all, from the 1st to the 6th of May, the first Division on the ground was ours. The simple gaining of the position unopposed by the enemy, which we held to the last at Chancellorville, the other side of the Rapidan, was a movement exhibiting more Generalship than has ever been displayed by any previous Generals of this army. It perfectly astounded the rebels, we dropped down in their midst so suddenly, it left doubtful the diection [sic] we came from. The river where we crossed was so desirably fitted by nature for a strong defence, it was estimated by the best judges, that had 5000 rebels opposed our crossing with thirty pieces of artillery, it would have been impossible for us to get over.
The old "44th" were on the lead that day, a mile ahead of the corps. We came to the river bank, on the other stood 20 rebel pickets, apparently lost in amazement our sudden appearance. Gen. Griffin came to the river, took one look at the frowning hill on the other side, turning around in his saddle said, "Forty-fourth, we must gain those hills with one Division, within an hour, or this river will run with blood. Every minute is worth the lives of 500 men. Will you lead?" "We will! we will!" shouted 300 strong voices. Taking off our cartridge boxes and rations, holding them high above our head in the left hand, our gun in our right, we plunged in. It was cold, and muddy, and rising fast from the rain of the day before, and wider than the Chenango at Oxford. We reached the opposite side safely, with our powder dry, taking a good position, stayed there that night. The next morning moved forward three miles and found we were in the vicinity of the entire Rebel army. Now came the manoevering, but three corps of ours, were then on the ground, that night the 2d and 3d Corps joined us, via of U. S. Ford. Friday in the forenoon our corps began to feel of the enemy, he seemed rather shy. In the afternoon, we had one short but severe collision. The 2d Division of our corps, (Gen. Sykes) suffered the most, the enemy had a good charge at him, with us, it was the other way, we lost few, and killed very many. Saturday we were assigned our position on the left centre, having time made a breast-work behind which we expected to stand, and if the rebels came give them a warm reception, about 4 P. M., were astonished by a discharge of musketry on our right, the like of which I never heard. Those heavy discharges from long lines at Antietam, and Malvern Hills, seemed but picket firing beside this. Cannon opened immediately, and with the musketry fairly shook the earth where we stood. In a few moments news came that the 11th corps had broke, and back they came upon us in the utmost confusion.—Our boys felt this state of things keenly, knowing too well what an advantage it gave the enemy. Conch's corps immediately filled the breach, being nearest we went on Conch's right, leaving our place since there was no probability of any fighting in the old quarter, collecting what they could of the scattered 11th it was nearly dark, but the real fighting of May 2d now began. Jackson's whole force, the flower of the rebel army were moving up, flushed with momentary success.—Hooker, rode down the lines, receive the enemy upon your bayonets, fire not a shot they cannot see you. We got down, in a moment they burst fro the woods, line after line, came steadily forward toward Berry's Division first to our left.—They thought there was nothing in the way, and an easy victory before them, but instantly a long dark line extending across the fields arose, presenting a glistening, they halted as quick as though shot in their track. In vain did their commanders urge them forward, they could not drive them on to the bayonets, they wavered for a moment, then the first line broke, at this we opened with musketry throughout the whole line, at the same time some 30 brass Napoleon guns 20 lbs. opened with canister, at the discharge of these pieces, so close were the enemy, that legs, arms, and huge pieces of bodies filled the air. They would totally demolish a line of battle at two or three discharges. They fell back in the wood and formed again, and then came forward as before, only again to be demolished. How many times this was done I cannot say, but as fast as the men could be got into line till midnight. The long sheets of fire from the infantry, the terrible flashes of the cannon, the bursting of shells, all together, made fireworks awfully grand, and cast Fourth of July operations into shade. When at last Jackson learned what he had to deal with, that it was impossible to break our lines he withdrew for the night. We laid down on our arms. As day broke Sunday morning the enemy came on. Deserters during the night, told us that Jackson had promised "to break our centre if it cost his life, and the lives of his entire army," and when line after line came out of the woods early in the morning, advancing across the fields steadily to the attack, it would seem to an observer, unused to such scenes, that no human power could withstand the onset. We were ready, and however determined Jackson might be, there was determination equally firm in our unwavering line, which stood with bayonets fixed for the foe. The scene which now ensued was similar to that of the night before, only the slaughter of the enemy was greater, if that was possible, although they hurled their entire force against two divisions for six hours, they never moved an inch, not a solitary inch from where we had set our line after the retreat of the 11th corps. At length they encumbered the ground, they could not move their lines over it. We lost heavily in two Divisions, of course we must in such fighting, but by the side of the enemies dead in front, piled up till nearly as high as the fences our loss was but a cypher. As they went down almost by battalions, I could hardly refrain from swinging my hat and crying out. "So much for Dec. 13th when they set us down so before Fredericksburg." The enemy left us, and went back on Sedgwick with their whole force and drove him from the height.—What then should keep us there? It would not do to drive Lee this side of the river, between us and Washington, there was nothing but to retire, as for being driven back by Lee's army, you may set this down that the whole population of the South, men, women, children, niggers and all, could not have driven us from that position.
The 17th N. Y. started for home to-day, you remember Capt. Tyrrell enlisting men in Oxford for that regiment, their time is out, we have been to see them off, for they belonged to our brigade. In kind regards,
Yours, J. E. B.
BIVOUAC OF 44TH REG'T N. Y. VOLS.,
KELLY'S FORD, RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER,
June 6, 1863.
To the Editor of the Springville Herald:
I herewith send you a photograph of the old flag of the FORTY-FOURTH REGIMENT, which has obtained some celebrity through the newspapers. The people of Springville have a heritage in this flag, for Springville valor has sustained it amid all the trying scenes through which it has passed, and its glory has been purchased with the blood of her noblest and truest sons. The names of MYERS, WALKER and HAMMOND should be cherished in lasting rembmbrance [sic] as long as valor and country are cherished among men. These young men yielded up their lives to vindicate the honor of this flag, and maintain the integrity of the Union; and their names should not be allowed to sink into oblivion. Deeds of valor and heroism should be regarded among the choicest treasures of a free people, and every town should see to it that the sacrifices and achievements of her Sons are not forgotten, but treasured up in grateful hearts, and transmitted as a priceless legacy to future generations.
Mr. Editor, will you put this photograph in a frame and hang it up in your office, and let it commemorate the heroic deeds of JEROME MYERS, who fought at Yorktown, Hanover and Gaines Hill, and who fell with his face to the foe on the bloody field of Malvern; and let it speak also of the indomitable courage and heroic endurance of EUGENE WALKER and HENRY Hammond, who followed its fortune all through the Peninsula campaign, and at last fell, amid gloom and defeat, on the sanguinary plains of Manassas. And if there be any among you who are praying and striving for an inglorious peace let this tattered banner appeal to what honor and manhood there is left in them, and say whether the blood of our martyred heroes shall have been shed in vain.
Let it be known that every man from the town of Concord in the Ellsworth Regiment, without an exception, has followed the fortunes of this ... without a murmur of discontent, and they are entitled to no insignificant share of its glory. There are but two of them left with us now, SPAULDING and STEARNS, tried veterans, than whom none braver or truer ever carried a musket.
The health of the army, so far as I am able to learn, is excellent, and their spirits undaunted, not over anxious, but always ready for a fight.
Yours for the war,
E. L. HARRIS,
44th N. Y. V.
The Dunkirk Union.
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 5, 1863.
From the 44th Regiment.
We are permitted to make the following extracts from a late letter written by a member of Co. A, 44th Regiment, who was in the battle of Gettysburg.
MIDDLETOWN, MD.,
July, 8th, 1863.
MY FRIENDS AT HOME:
We came into this town this morning, having had a very hard march in the mud and rain. Most of the army is encamped near here. We are within eight miles of the old Antietam battle ground. It is now 3 P. M. Whether we shall move before morning, I cannot tell. We have just received news of the fall of Vicksburg. This morning we received another mail, I got for my share six letters and about as many papers. I assure you, I was glad to hear form home. I have read each letter over a half dozen times. The latest was June 30th. This is the second mail we have had since we left the Rapahannock [sic]. I wrote you immediately after the battle of Gettysburg. This campaign has been a hard one so far, but I stand it first rate. The day before the battle, we marched from 8 o'clock in the morning until 12 at night, moved again at 3 in the morning, (July 2d,) marched four miles to the battle field, maneuvered around until 4 P. M., when the rebels advanced, and from that time until dark we had hot work. Our corps was on the left of the centre, where the rebel Longstreet tried to break through and turn our lines. Our brigade lay on the side hill. It was covered with large stones. We threw up a small breastwork to protect us. I was where I could see nearly one-half of the field. At our right there were several battle fields. I could see the two armies advance. The lines would sway to and fro. The second and third corps were in these fields. The rebels drove our men across these fields twice; our men would fall back, reform, and then advance again. The second time our boys advanced, they held the field.—Firing ceased about 8 P. M. and then we went to work, caring for our wounded.—Our regiment lost very heavy; 111 out of 300. Our company lost more than any other company in the regiment, 22 out of 40, had 5 killed. Each company cared for their wounded. Knowlton, from Forestville, was badly wounded in the knee. I helped carry him off from the field. The last I heard from him, he was doing well. Both of my tent mates were wounded.—After we had carried our wounded of from the field, we then buried our dead. Three boys from our company together with myself, carr

Pvt., Co E, 14th Georgia Volunteers
Captured near Turkey Bend of the James River in Virginia(near Petersburg) on June 23, 1864. He was exchanged and paroled Prisoner at Camp Lee, (near Richmond.) Although I am unable to find any history of a battle wound, I do know that he told my mother that at the time of the exchange he had a "hurt leg". Considering the brutal conditions at Elmira, I find it most interesting that he also related that his captors almost refused to let him go because they were concerned he would not be able to make the journey from the prison. He related to my mother that he started crying and the captors relented and set him free.

Carpenter, Eleazar "Eli"
Eleazar "Eli" Carpenter was born in 1816, in Georgia, probably in Putnam County, where his father, John Carpenter, Sr., paid land taxes in 1815. The first record we have of Eli was a bill found in the loose papers of John Carpenter's probate records. This bill shows that Eli charged seven twists of tobacco on the 29th of December 1939 at John and D. M Causey's. Eli probably continued to live at home with his mother, until he married Annzena Norris on the 10th of May 1846 in Troup County, Georgia. She was the daughter of Samuel Norris and his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Stone. Eli Carpenter was listed the first of only two times in the Upson County, Georgia, Tax Digest in 1850, where it shows that he owned no land, and paid forty-four cents for poll tax. Then on the 7th of May 1850, he and George W. Carpenter witnessed a deed for their brother, Hamilton. Eli and Annzena Carpenter were enumerated in the 1850 Federal Census of Upson County, Georgia, living between his brothers, Hamilton and John Carpenter, Jr. They had three children at this time, Mary Ann, age 2, Dilly, age one, and an infant, two months old. Dilly is found in an old bible record as Juley Ellender. She died on the 1st of September 1858. The 1850 census and the bible entries of her birth and death are the only record we have of her. The infant listed was William "Cicero" Carpenter. Eli and Annzena are both shown as being unable to read or write.
Randolph County, Alabama, is just north of Chambers County, Alabama. Its western edge extends a little ways across the top of Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Eli purchased forty acres in this northwest corner of Chambers County on the 25th of February 1856. The Tallapoosa River cuts this corner of Chambers County from the rest of the county, making Eli's land more accessible to the county seat of Randolph County than the county seats of Chambers or Tallapoosa Counties. In 1860, Eli and Annzena were listed on the census of Randolph County, Alabama, although they actually lived in Chambers County. Eli's occupation was given was farmer. Listed in their household were their five living children, Mary A., Cicero, Lorenzo (Alonzo), Laura E., James, and John H. Eli's brother, John Carpenter, Jr., was living with them and is listed as a farmer. In 1861 in Upson County, Georgia, Hamilton Carpenter, acting as agent for Eleazar, paid twenty-five cents poll tax for him. Eleazar was listed as owning thirty-five acres. This is the last record we have of him till he enlisted in the Confederate Army.
At Camp Cooper, Macon, Georgia, on the 8th of April 1863, Eleazar Carpenter volunteered for service, and was he mustered into Company B, Sixty-Fourth Georgia Regiment, Infantry, of the Confederate Army. His rank was private, and he received his first and possibly only pay of $50.00. The Sixty-Fourth was sent to Camp Cobb at Quincy, Florida. They arrived there by the 20th of April 1863. Their orders were to "arrest deserters, sulkers, punish and drive out plunderers and Yankees, collect cattle for the Confederate Government, and help the farmer when possible". During April, May, June, July and August, many of the men of the Sixty-Fourth deserted. The regiment was still stationed at Camp Cobb for Christmas 1863.
On the 20th of February 1864, the Sixty-Fourth, with other troops, were in the battle at Olustee, twelve miles from Jacksonville, Florida, at the Florida Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. 2,000 Confederate troops faced 9,400 Federal Troops. The Confederate soldiers were forced to retreat. J. W. Evans, Commander of the Sixty-Fourth, was severely wounded in the right thigh. Total Confederate casualties that day were 7 officers and 86 men killed, 49 officers and 798 men wounded, and 6 men were missing. The Sixty-Fourth, now commanded by Lieut. Colonel T. W. Brevard, remained in Florida till the 18th of April 1864, when they received orders to proceed to Savannah, Georgia, via Callahan, Florida, Traders Hill, Georgia, and Tebeauville, Georgia. They traveled by train, which was probably slow, with numerous delays en route. Before they could reach Savannah, they were ordered on to Petersburg, Virginia. The First Georgia Regiment was scheduled to go to Petersburg, and the Sixty-Fourth was to replace them in Savannah. But the First Regiment, who were heavy artillerists, were deemed necessary to the defense of Savannah, so the Sixty-Fourth was sent to Petersburg in their place.
The trip from Florida to Savannah, Georgia, and then to Petersburg, Virginia was slow. The railroads were crowded with supplies and troops, all desperately needed somewhere. The Sixty-Fourth had not arrived in Charleston, South Carolina by the 27th of April 1864, but according to one message, "they would be sent on as soon as possible". An order was sent the 15th of May 1864 for the Sixty-Fourth to report to General Hill as soon as they arrived in town. In a letter to General Beauregard, dated 19 May 1864, Major-General Whiting wrote, "We have now but the Sixty-Fourth Georgia Regiment on Swift Creek and the Militia, with Colonel Tate (Sixth Regiment, North Carolina), in town." Assistant Adjutant-General James H. Pearce, issued special Orders No. 10 on The 11th of June 1864, to Headquarters in Petersburg, stating, "the invalid Corps will be stationed at the forks of Baxter and Jerusalem roads. The Sixty-Fourth Georgia Regiment will be stationed from Battery No. 16 to No. 27 inclusive, and Archers Militia from No. 27 extending to the right as far as they will reach".
Late in the afternoon, on the 15th of June 1864, 13,700 Federal Troops commanded by General William Smith, attacked Petersburg, Virginia. General Smith received two more Federal Troops on the 16 of June 1864, giving him a total of 48,000 men. General Beauregard's troops were also reinforced, giving him a total of 14,000 Confederate soldiers. The Sixty-Fourth had probably arrived with this group of men. The Confederates again managed to hold off the Federal Troops. The next day, 17th June 1864, the battle continued with the Confederates coming under heavy artillery bombardment. Eleazar Carpenter, Captain T. J. Pritchell, and many other Confederate soldiers were captured by the Federal troops. These prisoners were first taken to City Point, Virginia, arriving there on the 24th of June 1864. On the 25th of July 1864, they were transferred to Elmira, New York.
Before a Confederate could be paroled, an Oath of Allegiance to the United States was required. On the 30th of September 1864, Eleazar Carpenter made his oath, stating he had volunteered in the Confederate Army to avoid conscription, he was 48 years of age, claimed to be a Union man, and had opposed succession. He was paroled the 11th of October 1864, with other invalid (sick and wounded) prisoners. They were to be taken to Point Lookout, Maryland, for exchange. Eleazar Carpenter, sick and suffering from chronic diarrhea, never made it to Point Lookout, Maryland. On the 13th of October 1864, when the train reached Baltimore, Maryland, he was admitted to the U.S.A. General Hospital, West's building. There he was treated with the customary remedies: tonics, astringents, and stimulants. Medications that would have only made his condition worse. On the 31st of October 1864, Eleazar Carpenter died. He was buried on the 1st of November 1864, in the Confederate lot, grave B-46, in the Loudon Park Cemetery, Baltimore, Maryland.

Here is a letter from David J., originally sent to his older brother Albert in Ohio, but later forwarded to Lincoln, Logan Co., Illinois and eventually in the possession of his eldest brother, my great grandfather Jos. Wm. Coffman.
"Camp Chase Dec. 16th 1862
Dear Brother Albert,
I embrace this present opportunity of writing you a few lines to let you know that I sill live, but unfortunately I am a prisoner confined at Camp Chase near Columbus. Frank Youell and several other men are with me. We were Captured on last Thursday, the 11th, near Martinsburg Va. We came to this place from Wheeling last night. I presume you have not heard that Papa is no more. He died on the morning of the 15th of Apr. last. His disease was dropsy in the chest. Old Father Booten preached his funeral. The words of his text you will find in Paul's 1st letter to the Corinthians, fifteenth Chapter, twenty-first (line illegible) and five days old. I cannot write any more this time. I want you to come and see me as soon as you get this letter for I do not know how long I will stay here. If you cannot come you must write immediately and Direct Camp Chase Ohio, Prison No. 2, Mess no. 3
D. J. Coffman
I received a letter from home about two weeks ago. They were all well. Let me (hear) from Joseph"
From the diary of Joseph William Coffman, as published in the Illinois State Genealogical Society Quarterly: , Vol XIX, No. 3, Fall 1987.
[NOTE: The "Papa" in the letter was Benjamin T. (for Taylor, I believe) Coffman (sometimes spelled Kauffman, as the original German-Swiss name), youngest son of Martin "White House" Kauffman and grandson of Martin Kauffman, Sr., one of the original founders of the Massanutten Settlement (1729) in the Shenandoah of Virginia.]

If there are any charges, kindly advise me the amount and I will remit promptly. If you cannot furnish me a copy, I will appreciate it if you will tell me from whom I can get it.
Thanking you very kindly, I am.

John POUNDSTONE died in 1861. His obit was contributed to the Fayette County USGenWeb Project.(11)
On the 25th of February, 1861, at his residence in German township, Fayette county, Pa., Mr. JOHN POUNDSTONE, in the 71st year of his age.
He was an honest, industrious, upright citizen, and had enjoyed good health until about one year since, during which time he was a great sufferer; but we trust that his afflictions were sanctified to his spiritual well being, as his thoughts and mind were turned to spiritual and Heavenly things, and he has left behind him the testimony that he had gone to be with his blessed Savior. He has left a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn their loss, but let them not mourn as those who have no hope, but take Christ for their all, and be prepared to meet him where partings shall be no more. J.A.

POUNDSTONEOn the morning of the 24th ult., in Nicholson tp., Mrs. Nicholas Poundstone, in the 92nd year of her age.
The deceased had been for a number of years the only surviving member of the German Reformed Congregation that worshiped many years ago, unitedly, with the Ev. Lutheran Congregation in the old log (St. James') church, (known as the "Dutch Meeting House" by the common people) predecessor to the Jacob's English Ev. Lutheran church of German township.
Mother Poundstone's christian character was unexceptionable and her devotion to the cause of Christ steadily increased to the Evening of her days. Her mind and memory were unusually strong and clear. A few days before her demise, on the last visit of her spiritual counselor, she gave him the 5th verse of the 31st Psalm as an expression of her feelings and as a text from which she desired him to preach her funeral servicethus showing her strong faith and confidence in her Redeemer. She rests from her labors and her works do follow her.

Jane Cline PRATT (1846-1926)
AGED WOMAN
FATALLY BURNED
WHILE IN BED
Newpaper image is poor quality. Transcription may not be exact.
Unable to help herself when her clothing caught fire from an open grate, Mrs. Jane Pratt, aged 83, of 134 Mill street, Thursday morning at 8 oclock, was burned to death in her bed. The remains, charred beyond recognition, were found by fire men who broke open a door at the three-room cottage.
Neighbors who saw smoke coming from the house turned in the alarm. As the firemen dashed to the scene they were informed that Mrs. Pratt probably was inside the burning building. The fire ladies lost no time in going to the rescue. They found the victims bed on fire and her lifeless remains partly covered with the bed clothing.
It is the theory of Fire Chief George H. Litman that Mrs. Pratt arose earlier in the morning to stir up fire in the grate and to light a gas fire in another room and that in doing so, her clothing caught fire. The chief says that he thinks Mrs. Pratt was unaware of her burning clothing until she got in bed. The blaze no doubt was communicated to the bed clothing and when flames enveloped her, the aged woman was unable to save herself or to utter audible cries for assistance. That she had been out of bed was borne out by the fact that she still wore her bedroom slippers.
So quickly was Mrs. Pratt overcome by the smoke and flames that she did not have time to move. The bed clothing was found up in her waist. Above his her clothing was entirely burned from her body which was blacked by the ravages of the fire.
The fire loss was confined mostly to the bed in which Mrs. Pratt slept. It was almost entirely destroyed. The body was removed to Nixons morgue.
Mrs. Pratt had lived in 134 Mill street, between Berkeley and McConnick avenue for 86 years. Her daughters and grandchildren often made frequent visits to her.
Mrs. Pratt was the mother of Mrs. George Bundy and Mrs. James Courtney of Uniontown and Mrs. Jos. Arensburg and Mrs. Louisa Boord, of Ohio.
Mrs. Jane Cline Pratt was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Foster Yarnell. She is survived by her sister, Mrs. Mary Feitz of Uledi and four daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Boord, of Hanoverton, O.; Mrs. George Bundy, of this city; Mrs. James Kortright of Corning, N. Y., and Mrs. Harry Arensburg of Newark, O.
Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon, the time to be announced later, at the home with the Rev. Burr R. McKnight officiating. Burial will be in Park Place cemetery.

Catherine PRICE ( -1948)
Suspected Wife Slayer in County Jail Brothers Will
Press Formal
Charges Today
Mother of Five-Year-Old
Dies of Gunshot
Wound Saturday
William R. Price, 26, suspected slayer of his pretty, 25-year- old wife, Catherine, remained evasive and stubborn during questioning yesterday, District Attorney Fred L. Brothers said, as he prepared to file formal murder charges against Price this afternoon. Mrs. Price, mother of a five-year-old girl, was shot in the chest by a bullet from a .32 calibre revolver early Saturday morning in her one-room home, one mile west of Morris Crossroads. Brothers established the time of the tradedy as between 1:20 and 1:30 a.m. He said a witness, Joseph Kury, 28, formerly of Masontown, now residing in Point Marion, said he had left the slain girl's room at 1:15 a.m.
Refuses to Talk
Brothers said Price, a Rosedale, W. Va., miner admitted being in the room when his estranged wife was shot. However, Brothers siad, Price refuses to tell authorities how the victim was shot. The woman's mother, Mrs. Gladys High, on whose property Mrs. Price lived, said she was awakened by Price shortly after the shooting. She said Price was screaming, Catherine's hurt, hurry, hurry! Mrs. High said when she went outside, the suspect was carrying her partly clothed daughter to his auto. Price took the victim to the Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W. Va. He told authorities there that the woman shot herself. Price, an Army veteran, is being held in county jail. The couple's daughter, Lillian, was staying with her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Winstead, when the shooting occurred.

Paraffine Test
May Determine
Woman's Killer
UNIONTOWN, Oct. 26.— On the results of a paraffin test will largely test the solution of the shooting of Mrs. Catherine Price, aged 26, of near Morris Cross Roads, whose estranged husband, William R. Price, is being held under suspicion of murder. So far Price has denied the discharge of the weapon, refusing to offer any explanation of the death of the woman who was shot through the heart. Assistant County Detective Forrest C. Parks, yesterday performed a paraffine test which will determine definitely whether the lethal weapon was fired by Price. The suspect, who will be charged with murder under the instructions of Distict Attorney Fred L. Brothers, admits he entered the residence of his wife, in the rear of the home of her mother, Mrs. John High on the Larman road, near New Geneva, a short time after the departure of Joseph Kury, who had taken Mrs. Price to a movie show. Kury asserts that he left the home of Mrs. Price about 1:15 o'clock. A few minutes later Price told Chief County Detective William J. Long and State police that he arrived. As Mrs. Price asserted, well I'm going to bed and turned out the light, there was a flash and roar of the gun,: said Price. I stood about nine feet away. Then the explanation of the suspect halts. He declines to offer any further explanations. His car was parked about a quarter of a mile distant and apparently he had seen Kury leave. When shot, Mrs. Price was wearing the jacket of pajamas, an undergarment, shoes and hose. An autopsy showed the bullet pierced the upper part of the heart and lodged in the back just under the skin. Death had been instant.

Hannah M. Wiggins PRICE ( -1861)
Newspaper image is poor quality. Transcription may not be exact.
Well may human life be compared to a dream, a shooting star, a bubble tossed upon the angry billow. For a while we sparkle in the charming firmament of human existence, and then our beams are merged into the refulgent light of eternity! Many of our dearest friends are asleep in the dust, awaiting the sound of the Archangel's trump. Not a household but mourns some loved and absent one. We turn to view the ??? of our fond relatives, and they are vacant, we call their names, and a voice from the grave answers, They are here.
Another has passed from earth to Heaven, sister Hannah M. Price, consort of Capt. Samuel C. Price, of Marshall county, Ill., died on the 6th of Dec. 1861, aged 24 years. She met death under the following distressing circumstances, which we extract from a letter written by Mr. P. to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Wiggins, Fayette county, Pa:
Her clothes caught fire from the small stove in the bedroom. She tried to put it out and after she found that was impossible, she ran to the kitchen with the intention of going out of doors, but thought that would not do, so she called for relief; and before the inmates of the next room could reach her, her garments were nearly consumed, and her flesh almost all over her entire body, burned very badly - consequently her sufferings were very great, which she bore with christian fortitude for nearly a week; when she obeyed the voice of her savior, in whom she trusted, and breathed her last. She was in full possession of her right mind to the last.
Seldom has it been our lot to record the death of one more esteemed than sister P. Naturally mild and affectionate; she was a devoted wife and mother, and endeared child and relation. During a revival of religion in the bounds of Mount Hope Congregation, in Stewart township, Fayette Co. Pa, during the winter of 1857-8; she in connection with her husband and many others, united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in whose communion she lived an exemplary member until severed by death. She has left husband and two dear little children, a father, mother, brothers and sisters, and many relatives to mourn her untimely end. And now her spirit mingles - doubtless - mingles with Saints on high - and thus beckons to her dear ones left here, to meet her there. Oh, may the Lord bless the bereaved husband and children, and all she leaves here, and may they be prepared to meet her.
If Heaven be now her happy state,
She lives redeemed from care;
Then let us try before to late,
To meet her spirit there.

Charles PRINGLE ( -1895)
KILLED ON THE RAIL
Charles Pringle Cut Down While on His Way to Work. Charles Pringle, a colored man employed at Broad Ford, who has been boarding here, was killed by the second section of the westbound express trail at Broad Ford on Sunday morning. Pringle was on his way to work as usual at an early hour, and it is supposed that he did not hear the fast train coming behind until it was almost upon him. He was struck near where the Peemickey bridge crosses the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. The unfortunate man was brought here about a half hour after he was struck, and lived till he was placed in the baggage room of the Baltimore & Ohio depot. His head was badly crushed. He never spoke after he was struck by the train. On Pringles person was found a pay envelope, which he had received the last pay day. Deputy Coroner James Echard held the inquest, the jury rendering a verdict of accidental death. Pringle was about 26 years old. He came to this place about 6 months ago from Virginia. He engaged boarding and lodging at the home of Frank Williams, a colored man who lives on the corner of Baldwin and Mountain avenues. There he became attached to the daughter of his landlord, Miss Lizzie. His love was reciprocated and the two were to have been married in a short time. The grief stricken girl did not hear of her lovers fate until late on Monday. Pringles remains were interred in Hill Grove Cemetery on Monday afternoon.

Age: 82
"I was six or seven when they begin goin' to the Civil War. We had a big old pasture opposite and I know they would bring the soldiers there and drill 'em.
"Oh my God, don't talk about slavery. They kept us in so you know we couldn't go around.
"But if they kept 'em a little closer now, the world would be a better place. I'm so glad I raised my children when they was raisin' children. If I told 'em to do a thing, they did it 'cause I would always know what was best. I got here first you know.
"People now'days is just shortening their lives. The Lord is pressin' us now tryin' to press us back. But thank God I'm saved.
"Did you ever see things like they is now?
"I looks at the young folks and it seems like they is all in a hurry—looks like they is on the last round.
"These here seabirds, (a music machine called seaburg—ed.) is ruinin' the young folks.
"I feels my age now, but I thank the Lord I got a home and got a little income.
"My children can't help me—ain't got nothin' to help with but a little washin'. My daughter been bustin' the suds for a livin' 'bout thirty-two years now.[Pg 2]
"I never went to school. My dad put me to work after freedom and then when schools got so numerous, I got too big. Ain't but one thing I want to learn this side of the River, is to read the Bible. I wants to confirm Jesus' words.
"The fus' place we went after we left the home place durin' of the war, we went to Wolf Creek. And then they pressed 'em so close we went to Red River. And they pressed 'em so close again we went to Texas and that's where we was when freedom come.
"That was in July and they closed the crap (crop) and then six weeks 'fore Christmas they loaded the wagons and started back to Arkansas. We come back to the Johnson place and stayed there three years, then my father rented the Alexander place on the Tamo.
"I stayed right there till I married. I married quite young, but I had a good husband. I ain't sayin' this just 'cause he's sleepin' but ever'body will tell you he was good to me. Made a good livin' and I wore what I wanted to.
"He come from South Carolina way before the war. Come from Abbeville. They was emigratin' the folks.
"I tell you all I can, but I won't tell you nothin' but the truth."

"Was I here in slavery days? Well, I remember when the soldiers went to war. Oh, I'm old—I ain't no baby. But I been well taken care of—I been treated well.
"I was bred and born right here in Arkansas and been livin' here all the time 'cept when they said the Yankees was comin'. I know we was just closin' up a crop. They put us in wagons and carried us to Wolf Creek in Texas and then they carried us to Red River. That was because it would be longer 'fore we found out we was free and they would get more work out a us.
"Old master's name was Robert Johnson and they called him Bob.
"After freedom they brought us back to Arkansas and put the colored folks to workin' on the shares. Yes'm they said they got their share. They looked like they was well contented. They stayed three or four years. We was treated more kinder and them that was not big enough to work was let go to school. I went to school awhile and then I had a hard spell of sickness—it was this slow fever. I was sick five or six weeks and it was a long time 'fore I could get my health so I didn't try to go to school no more. Seemed like I forgot everything I knowed.
"When I was fifteen I got tired of workin' so hard so I got married, but I found out things was wusser. But my husband was good to me.[Pg 4] Yes ma'm, he was a good man and nice to me. He was a good worker. He was deputy assessor under Mr. Triplett and he was a deputy sheriff and then he was a magistrate. Oh, he was a up-to-date man. He went to school after we was married and wanted me to go but I thought too much of my childun. When he died, 'bout two years ago, he left me this house and two rent houses. Yes ma'm, he was a good man.
"They ain't nothin' to this here younger generation. Did you ever see 'em goin' so fast? They won't take time to let you tell 'em anything. They is in a hurry. The world is too fast for me, but thank the Lord my childun is all settled. I got some nieces and nephews though that is goin' too fast.
"Yes'm, I'm gettin' along all right. I ain't got nothin' to complain of."

Age: 78
"My name's Israel Jackson. No ma'am, I wasn't born in Arkansas—born in Yaller Bush County, Mississippi August de third, 1860.
"My old master? Called him General—General Bradford. I don't know where he was but he was gone somewhere. Don't know her name—just called her missis.
"Yas'm, I was big enough to work. Dey had me to lead out my young master's horse on de grass. I had a halter on it and one time I laid down and went to sleep. I had de rope tied to my leg and when it come twelve o'clock de horse drag me clear to de house. No ma'am, I didn't wake up till I got to de house. It was my young master's saddle horse.
"Yas'm, I knowed dey was a war 'cause de men come past just as thick. No'm, I wasn't afraid. I kept out of de way. Old missis wouldn't let us get in de way. I 'member dey stopped dere and told us we was free. Lots of de folks went off but my mother kept workin' in de field, and my father didn't leave.
"Old master had us go by his name. Dat's what dey called 'em—all de hands on de place.
"I thought from boyhood he was awful cruel. Didn't 'low us chillun in de white folks' house at all. Had one woman dat cooked. Dey was fifty or a hundred chillun on de place and dey had a big long trough dug out of a log and each chile had a spoon and he'd eat out of dat trough. Yas'm, I 'member dat. Eat greens and milk. As for meat, we didn't know what dat was.[Pg 6] My mother would go huntin' at night and get a 'possum to feed us and sometimes old master would ketch her and take it away from her and give her a piece of salt meat. But sometimes she'd bury a 'possum till she had a chance to cook it. And dey'd take sackin' like you make cotton sacks and dye it and make us clothes.
"When de conch would blow at four o'clock every mornin' everybody got up and got ready for de field. Dey'd take dere chillun up to dat big long house. When mother went to de field I'd go along and lead de horse till I got to where dey was workin', then I'd sit down and let the horse eat. I was young and it's been so long.
"No ma'am, I never went to school. No ma'am, can't read or write. Never had no schools as I remember.
"Dey stayed on de place after freedom. No ma'am, dey did not pay 'em. I'se old but I ain't forgot dat. Dey fed theirselves by stealin' and gettin' things in de woods.
"After dem Blue Jackets come in dere General Bradford never did come back and our folks stayed dere and when dey did leave dey went to Sunflower County. After dat we got along better.
"How many brothers and sisters? I b'lieve I had five.
"I stayed with my parents till I was grown. No ma'am, dey didn't 'low us to marry. When we was twenty we was neither man nor boy; we was considered a hobble-de-hoy. And when we got to be twenty-one we was considered a man and your parents turned you loose, a man. So I left home and went to Louisiana. I stayed dere a year, then I went back to Mississippi and worked. I come here to Arkansas twenty-six years ago. Is dis Jefferson? Well, I come here to de west end.
"Since I been here I been workin' at de foundry—Dilley's foundry.[Pg 7]
"'Bout two years ago I got sick and broke up and not able to work and Mr. Dilley give me a pension—ten dollars a month. But de wages and hour got here now and I don't know what he's gwine do. When de next pay-day comes he might give me somethin' and he might not.
"Miss, de white folks has done so bad here dat I don't know what dey's gwine a do. Mr. Ed and his father been takin' care of me for twenty years. Dey sure has been takin' care of me. Miss, I can't find no fault of Mr. Ed Dilley at all.
"I can do a little light work but when I work half a day I get nervous and can't do nothin'.
"No ma'am, I never did vote. Dey didn't 'low us to vote. Well, if dey did I didn't know it and I didn't vote.
"Well, Miss, I think de young folks is near to de dogs and de dogs ought to have 'em and bury 'em. Miss, I don't 'cept none of 'em. I wouldn't want to go on and tell you how dey has treated me. Dey ain't no use to ask 'cause I ain't gwine tell you. The people is more wicked and more wuss and ever'thing. I don't think nothin' of 'em.
"Miss, let me tell you de only folks dat showed me any friendly is Mr. Ed Dilley. I worked out dere night and day, Sunday and Monday—any time he called.
"Miss, I ain't never seen any jail house; I ain't never been to police headquarters; I ain't never been called a witness in my life. I try to live right, all I know, and if I do wrong it's somethin' I don't know. I ain't had dat much trouble in my life.
"I went up here to Judge Brewster to see about de pension and he said, 'Got a home?' I said, 'Yes.' 'Got it paid for?' 'Yes.' 'Got a deed?'[Pg 8] 'Yes.' 'Got a abstract?' 'Yes.' 'Well, bring it up here and sign it and go get de pension.'
"But I wouldn't do it. Miss, I would starve till I was as stiff as a peckerwood peckin' at a hole 'fore I'd sign anything on my deed. Miss, I wouldn't put a scratch on my deed. I wouldn't trust 'em, wouldn't trust 'em if dey was behind a Winchester."

Interviewer: Samuel S. Taylor
Person interviewed: Lula Jackson
1808 Valentine Street, Little Rock, Arkansas
Age: 79?
"I was born in Alabama, Russell County, on a place called Sand Ridge, about seven miles out from Columbus, Georgia. Bred and born in Alabama. Come out here a young gal. Wasn't married when I come out here. Married when a boy from Alabama met me though. Got his picture. Lula Williams! That was my name before I married. How many sisters do you have? That's another question they ask all the time; I suppose you want to know, too. Two. Where are they? That's another one of them questions they always askin' me. You want to know it, too? I got one in Clarksdale, Mississippi. And the other one is in Philadelphia; no, I mean in Philipp city, Tallahatchie (county). Her name is Bertha Owens and she lives in Philipp city. What state is Philipp city in? That'll be the next question. It is in Mississippi, sir. Now is thar anything else you'd like to know?
"My mother's name was Bertha Williams and my father's name was Fred Williams. I don't know nothing 'bout mama's mother. Yes, her name was Crecie. My father's mother was named Sarah. She got killed by lightning. Crecie's husband was named John Oliver. Sarah's husband was named William Daniel. Early Hurt was mama's master. He had an awful name and he was an awful man. He whipped you till he'd bloodied you and blistered you. Then he would cut open the blisters and drop sealing-wax in them and in the open wounds made by the whips.[Pg 10]
"When the Yankees come in, his wife run in and got in the bed between the mattresses. I don't see why it didn't kill her. I don't know how she stood it. Early died when the Yankees come in. He was already sick. The Yankees come in and said, 'Did you know you are on the Yankee line?'
"He said, 'No, by God, when did that happen?'
"They said, 'It happened tonight, G——D—— you.'
"And he turned right on over and done everything on hisself and died. He had a eatin' cancer on his shoulder.
Schooling, Etc.
"My mother had so many children that I didn't get to go to school much. She had nineteen children, and I had to stay home and work to help take care of them. I can't write at all.
"I went to school in Alabama, 'round on a colored man's place—Mr. Winters. That was near a little town called Fort Mitchell and Silver Rim where they put the men in jail. I was a child. Mrs. Smith, a white woman from the North, was the second teacher that I had. The first was Mr. Croler. My third teacher was a man named Mr. Nelson. All of these was white. They wasn't colored teachers. After the War, that was. I have the book I used when I went to school. Here is the little Arithmetic I used. Here is the Blue Back Speller. I have a McGuffy's Primer too. I didn't use that. I got that out of the trash basket at the white people's house where I work. One day they throwed it out. That is what they use now, ain't it?
"Here is a book my husband give me. He bought it for me because I told him I wanted a second reader. He said, 'Well, I'll go up to the store and git you one.' Plantation store, you know. He had that charged to his account.[Pg 11]
"I used to study my lesson. I turned the whole class down once. It was a class in spelling. I turned the class down on 'Publication'—p-u-b-l-i-c-a-t-i-o-n. They couldn't spell that. But I'll tell the world they could spell it the next day.
"My teacher had a great big crocus sack, and when she got tired of whipping them, she would put them in the sack. She never did put me in that sack one time. I got a whipping mos' every day. I used to fight, and when I wasn't fightin' for myself, I'd be fighting for other children that would be scared to fight for theirselves, and I'd do their fighting for them.
"That whippin' in your hand is the worst thing you ever got. Brother, it hurts. I put a teacher in jail that'd whip one of my children in the hand.
Occupational History and Family
"My mama said I was six years old when the War ended and that I was born on the first day of October. During the War, I run up and down the yard and played, and run up and down the street and played; and when I would make too much noise, they'd whip me and send me back to my mother and tell her not to whip me no more, because they had already done it. I would help look after my mother's children. There were five children younger than I was. Everywhere she went, the white people would want me to nurse their children, because they said, 'That little rawboneded one is goin' to be the smartest one you got. I want her.' And my ma would say:
"'You ain't goin' to git 'er.' She had two other girls—Martha and Sarah. They was older than me, and she would hire them out to do nursing. They worked for their master during slave time, and they worked for money after slavery.[Pg 12]
"My mama's first husband was killed in a rasslin' (wrestling) match. It used to be that one man would walk up to another and say, 'You ain't no good.' And the other one would say, 'All right, le's see.' And they would rassle.
"My mother's first husband was pretty old. His name was Myers. A young man come up to him one Sunday morning when they were gettin' commodities. They got sorghum, meat, meal, and flour; if what they got wasn't enough, then they would go out and steal a hog. Sometime they'd steal it anyhow; they got tired of eatin' the same thing all the time. Hurt would whip them for it. Wouldn't let the overseer whip them. Whip them hisself. 'Fraid the overseer wouldn't give them enough. They never could find my grandfather's meat. That was Grandfather William Down. They couldn't find his meat because he kept it hidden in a hole in the ground. It was under the floor of the cabin.
"Old Myers made this young man rassle with him. The young fellow didn't want to rassle with him; he said Myers was too old. Myers wasn't my father; he was my mother's first husband. The young man threw him. Myers wasn't satisfied with that. He wanted to rassle again. The young man didn't want to rassle again. But Myers made him. And the second time, the young man threw him so hard that he broke his collar-bone. My mother was in a family way at the time. He lived about a week after that, and died before the baby was born.
"My mother's second husband was named Fred Williams, and he was my father. All this was in slavery times. I am his oldest child. He raised all his children and all his stepchildren too. He and my mother lived together for over forty years, until she was more than seventy. He was much younger than she was—just eighteen years old when he married her.[Pg 13] And she was a woman with five children. But she was a real wife to him. Him and her would fight, too. She was jealous of him. Wouldn't be none of that with me. Honey, when you hit me once, I'm gone. Ain't no beatin' on me and then sleepin' in the same bed with you. But they fit and then they lived together right on. No matter what happened, his clean clothes were ready whenever he got ready to go out of the house—even if it was just to go to work. His meals were ready whenever he got ready to eat. They were happy together till she died.
"But when she died, he killed hisself courtin'. He was a young preacher. He died of pneumonia. He was visiting his daughter and got exposed to the weather and didn't take care of hisself.
"Right after the War, I was hired as a half-a-hand. After that I got larger and was hired as a whole hand, me and the oldest girl. I worked on one farm and then another for years. I married the first time when I was fifteen years old. That was almost right after slave time. Four couples of us were married at the same time. They lived close to me. I didn't want my husband to git in the bed with me when I married the first time. I didn't have no sense. I was a Christian girl.
"Frank Sampson was his name. It rained the day we married. I got my feet wet. My husband brought me home and then he turned 'round and went back to where the wedding was. They had a reception, and they danced and had a good time. Sampson could dance, too, but I didn't. A little before day, he come back and said to me—I was layin' in the middle of the bed—'Git over.' I called to mother and told her he wanted to git in the bed with me. She said, 'Well, let him git in. He's yo'r husband now.'
"Frank Sampson and me lived together about twenty years before he got killed, and then I married Andrew Jackson. He had children and grandchildren.[Pg 14] I don't know what was the matter with old man Jackson. He was head deacon of the church. We only stayed together a year or more.
"I have been single ever since 1923, jus' bumming 'round white folks and tryin' to work for them and makin' them give me somethin' to eat. I ain't been tryin' to fin' no man. When I can't fin' no cookin' and washin' and ironin' to do, I used to farm. I can't farm now, and 'course I can't git no work to do to amount to nothin'. They say I'm too old to work.
"The Welfare helps me. Don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for them. I git some commodities too, but I don't git any wood. Some people says they pay house rent, but they never paid none of mine. I had to go to Marianna and git my application straight before I could git any help. They charged me half a dollar to fix out the application. The Welfare wanted to know how I got the money to pay for the application if I didn't have money to live on. I had to git it, and I had to git the money to go to Marianna, too. If I hadn't, I never would have got no help.
Husband's Death
"I told you my first husband got killed. The mule run away with his plow and throwed him a summerset. His head was where his heels should have been, he said, and the mule dragged him. His chest was crushed, and mashed. His face was cut and dirtied. He lived nine days and a half after he was hurt and couldn't eat one grain of rice. I never left his bedside 'cept to cook a little broth for him. That's all he would eat—just a little broth.
"He said to his friend, 'See this little woman of mine? I hate to leave her. She's just such a good little woman. She ain't got no business in this world without a husband.'[Pg 15]
"And his friend said to him, 'Well, you might as well make up your mind you got to leave her, 'cause you goin' to do it.'
"He got hurt on Thursday and I couldn't git a doctor till Friday. Dr. Harper, the plantation doctor, had got his house burned and his hands hurt. So he couldn't come out to help us. Finally Dr. Hodges come. He come from Sunnyside, Mississippi, and he charge me fourteen dollars. He just made two trips and he didn't do nothin'.
"Bowls and pitchers were in style then. And I always kept a pitcher of clean water in the house. I looked up and there was a bunch of men comin' in the house. It was near dark then. They brought Sampson in and carried him to the bed and put him down. I said, 'What's the matter with Frank?' And they said, 'The mule drug him.' And they put him on the bed and went on out. I dipped a handkerchief in the water and wet it and put it in his mouth and took out great gobs of dust where the mule had drug him in the dirt. They didn't nobody help me with him then; I was there alone with him.
"I started to go for the doctor but he called me back and said it wasn't no use for me to go. Couldn't git the doctor then, and if I could, he'd charge too much and wouldn't be able to help him none nohow. So we wasn't able to git the doctor till the next day, and then it wasn't the plantation doctor. We had planted fifteen acres in cotton, and we had ordered five hundred pounds of meat for our winter supply and laid it up. But Frank never got to eat none of it. They sent three or four hands over to git their meals with me, and they et up all the meat and all the other supplies we had. I didn't want it. It wasn't no use to me when Frank was gone. After they paid the doctor's bill and took out for the supplies we was supposed to git, they handed me thirty-three dollars and thirty-five cents. That was all I got out of fifteen acres of cotton.[Pg 16]
Ravelings
"I sew with rav'lin's. Here is some rav'lin's I use. I pull that out of tobacco sacks, flour sacks, anything, when I don't have the money to buy a spool of thread. I sew right on just as good with the rav'lin's as if it was thread. Tobacco sacks make the best rav'lin's. I got two bags full of tobacco sacks that I ain't unraveled yet. There is a man down town who saves them for me. When a man pulls out a sack he says, 'Save that sack for me, I got an old colored lady that makes thread out of tobacco sacks.' These is what he has give me. (She showed the interviewer a sack which had fully a gallon of little tobacco sacks in it—ed.)
"They didn't use rav'lin's in slave time. They spun the thread. Then they balled it. Then they twisted it, and then they sew with it. They didn't use rav'lin's then, but they used them right after the War.
"My mama used to say, 'Come here, Lugenia.' She and me would work together. She wanted me to reel for her. Ain't you never seen these reels? They turn like a spinning-wheel, but it is made indifferent. You turn till the thing pops, then you tie it; then it's ready to go to the loom. It is in hanks after it leaves the reel and it is pretty, too.
Present Condition
"I used to live in a four-room house. They charged me seven dollars and a half a month for it. They fixed it all up and then they wanted to charge ten dollars, and it wouldn't have been long before they went up to fifteen. So I moved. This place ain't so much. I pays five dollars and a half for it. When it rains, I have to go outside to keep from gittin' too wet. But I cut down the weeds all around the place. I planted some flowers in the front yard, and some vegetables in the back. That all helps me out.[Pg 17] When I go to git commodities, I walk to the place. I can't stand the way these people act on the cars. Of course, when I have a bundle, I have to use the car to come back. I just put it on my head and walk down to the car line and git on. Lord, my mother used to carry some bundles on her head."
Interviewer's Comment
According to the marriage license issued at the time of her last marriage in 1922, Andrew Jackson was sixty years old, and sister Jackson was fifty-two. But Andrew Jackson was eighty when sister Jackson married him, she says. Who can blame him for saying sixty to the clerk? Sister Jackson admits that she was six years old during the War and states freely and accurately details of those times, but what wife whose husband puts only sixty in writing would be willing to write down more than fifty-two for herself?
Right now at more than seventy-nine, she is spry and jaunty and witty and good humored. Her house is as clean as a pin, and her yard is the same.
The McGuffy's Primer which she thinks is used now is a modernized McGuffy printed in 1908. The book bought for her by her first husband is an original McGuffy's Second Reader.

Whippings
"Early Hurt had an overseer named Sanders. He tied my sister Crecie to a stump to whip her. Crecie was stout and heavy. She was a grown young woman and big and strong. Sanders had two dogs with him in case he would have trouble with anyone. When he started layin' that lash on Crecie's back, she pulled up that stump and whipped him and the dogs both.
"Old Early Hurt came up and whipped her hisself. Said, 'Oh, you're too bad for the overseer to whip, huh?'
"Wasn't no such things as lamps in them days. Jus' used pine knots. When we quilted, we jus' got a good knot and lighted it. And when that one was nearly burnt out, we would light another one from it.
"We had a old lady named 'Aunt' Charlotte; she wasn't my aunt, we jus' called her that. She used to keep the children when the hands were working. If she liked you she would treat your children well. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't treat them so good. Her name was Charlotte Marley. She was too old to do any good in the field; and she had to take care of the babies. If she didn't like the people, she would leave the babies' napkins on all day long, wet and filthy.
"My papa's mama, Sarah, was killed by lightning. She was ironing and was in a hurry to get through and get the supper on for her master, Early Hurt. I was the oldest child, and I always was scared of lightning.[Pg 19] A dreadful storm was goin' on. I was under the bed and I heard the thunder bolt and the crash and the fall. I heard mama scream. I crawled out from under the bed and they had grandma laid out in the middle of the floor. Mama said, 'Child, all the friend you got in the world is dead.' Early Hurt was standin' over her and pouring buckets of water on her. When the doctor come, he said, 'You done killed her now. If you had jus' laid her out on the ground and let the rain fall on her, she would have come to, but you done drownded her now.' She wouldn't have died if it hadn't been for them buckets of water that Early Hurt throwed in her face.
"Honey, they ain't nothin' as sweet to drink out of as a gourd. Take the seeds out. Boil the gourd. Scrape it and sun it. There ain't no taste left. They don't use gourds now."
Interviewer's Comment
Violent death followed Lula Jackson's family like an implacable avenger. Her father's mother was struck and killed by lightning. Her mother's first husband was thrown to his death in a wrestling match. Her own husband was dragged and kicked to death by a mule. Her brother-in-law, Jerry Jackson, was killed by a horse. But Sister Jackson is bright and cheery and full of faith in God and man, and utterly without bitterness.

Age: 75?
"My name is Mary Jackson, and I was born in Miller Grove, Hunt County, Texas during the War. No sir, I do not know the year. Our master's name was Dixon, and he was a wealthy plantation owner, had lots of property in Hunt County.
"The days after the War—called the Reconstruction days, I believe—were sure exciting, and I can 'mind' a lot of things the people did, one of them a big barbecue celebration commemoratin' the return of peace. They had speeches, and music by the band—and there were a lot of soldiers carrying guns and wearing some kind of big breastplates. The white children tried to scare us by telling us the soldiers were coming to kill us little colored children. The band played 'Dixie' and other familiar tunes that the people played and sang in those days.
"Yes sir, I remember the Klu Klux Klan. They sure kept us frightened and we would always run and hide when we heard they were comin'. I don't know of any special harm they done but we were afraid of em.
"I have been a member of the A. M. E. Church for forty years, and my children belong to the same church.
"No sir, I don't know if the government ever promised our folks anything—money, or land, or anything else.
"Don't ask me anything about this 'new generation' business. They're simply too much for me; I cannot understand em at all.[Pg 21] Don't know whether they are coming or going. In our day the parents were not near so lenient as they are today. I think much of the waywardness of the youth today should be blamed on the parents for being too slack in their training."
NOTE: Mrs. Jackson and her son live in a lovely cottage, and her taste in dress and general deportment are a credit to the race.

Age: 88?
[Date Stamp: MAY 11 1938]
"I was born two miles from Baltimore, Maryland. I was a good size boy. My father carried me to see the war flag go up. There was an awful crowd, one thousand people, there. I had two masters in this country besides in Virginia. When war was declared there was ten boats of niggers loaded at Washington and shipped to New Orleans. We stayed in the 'Nigger Traders Yard' there about three months. But we was not to be sold. Master Cupps [Culps?] owned father, mother and all of us. If they gained the victory he was to take us back to Virginia. I never knowed my grandparents. The yard had a tall brick wall around it. We had a bunk room, good cotton pads to sleep on and blankets. On one side they had a wall fixed to go up on from the inside and twelve platforms. You could see them being sold on the inside and the crowd on the outside. When they auctioned them off they would come, pick out what they wanted to sell next and fill them blocks again. They sold niggers all day long. They come in another drove they had, had men out buying over the country. They come in thick wood doors with iron nails bradded through, fastened on big hinges, fastened it with chains and iron bars. The house was a big red brick house. We didn't get none too much to eat at that place. I reckon one side was three hundred yard long of the wall and the house was that long. Some of them in there cut their hands off with a knife or ax. Well, they couldn't sell them.[Pg 23] Nobody would buy them. I don't know what they ever done with them. Plenty of them would cut their hand off if they could get something to cut with to keep from being sold.
"We stayed in that place till Wyley Lions [Lyons?] come and got us in wagons. He kept us for Master Cupps. Mother was a house girl in Virginia. She was one more good cook. I started hoeing and picking cotton in Virginia for master. When I was fourteen years old I done the same in Mississippi with Wiley Lyons in Mississippi close to Canton. In Canton, Mississippi Wiley Lyons had the biggest finest brick house in that country. He had two farms. In Bolivar County was the biggest. I could hear big shooting from Canton fifteen miles away. He wasn't mean and he didn't allow the overseers to be mean.
"Hilliard Christmas [a neighbor] was mean to his folks. My father hired his own time. He raised several ten acre gardens and watermelons. He paid Mr. Cupp in Virginia. He come to see our folks how they was getting along.
"A Negro on a joining farm run off. They hunted him with the dogs and they found him at a log. Heap his legs froze, so the white doctor had to cut them off. He was on Solomon's farms. After that he got to be a cooper. He made barrels and baskets—things he could do sittin' in his chair. They picked him up and made stumps for him. Some folks was mean.
"My mother was Rachel and my father was Andrew Jackson. I had three brothers fought in the War. I was too young. They talked of taking me in a drummer boy the year it ceased. My nephew give me this uniform. It is warm and it is good. My breeches needs some repairs reason I ain't got them on. [He has worn a blue uniform for years and years—ed.][Pg 24]
"There was nine of us children. I got one girl very low now. She's in Memphis. I been in Arkansas 45 years. I come here jes' drifting looking out a good location. I never had no dealings with the Ku Klux. I been farming all my life. Yes, I did like it. I never owned a home nor no land. I never voted in my life. I had nine children of my own but only my girl living now.
"Nine or ten years ago I could work every minute. Times was good! good! Could get plenty work—wood to cut and ditching. It is not that way now. I can't do a day's work now. I'm failing fast. I feel it.
"Young folks can make a living if they work and try. Some works too hard and some don't hardly work. Work is scarcer than it ever was to my knowledge. Times changed and changed the young folks. Mother died two or three years after the War. My father died first year we come to Mississippi.
[We went by and took the old Negro to West Memphis. From there he could take a jitney to Memphis to see his daughter—ed.]
"I ain't never been 'rested. I ain't been to jail. Nearly well be as so confined with the mud. [We assured him it was nicer to ride in the car than be in jail—ed.]
"I couldn't tell how many I ever seen sold. I seen some sold in Virginia, I reckon, or Maryland—one off the boats. They kept them tied. They was so scared they might do anything, jump in the big waters. They couldn't talk but to some and he would tell white folks what he said. [They used an interpreter.] Some couldn't understand one another if they come from far apart in the foreign country. Slavery wasn't never bad on me. I never was sold off from my folks and I had warmer, better clothes[Pg 25] 'an I have now. I had plenty to eat, more'an I has now generally. I had better in slavery than I have now. That is the truth. I'm telling the truth, I did. Some didn't. One neighbor got mad and give each hand one ear of corn nine or ten o'clock. They take it to the cook house and get it made up in hominy. Some would be so hungry they would parch the corn rather 'an wait. He'd give 'em meal to make a big kettle of mush. When he was good he done better. Give 'em more for supper.
"Freedom—soldiers come by two miles long look like. We followed them. There was a crowd following. Wiley Lyons had no children; he adopted a boy and a girl. Me and the boy was growing up together. Me and the white boy (fifteen or sixteen years old, I reckon we was) followed them. They said that was Grant's army. I don't know. 'That made us free' they told us. The white boy was free, he just went to see what was happening. We sure did see! We went by Canton to Vicksburg when fighting quit. Folks rejoiced, and then went back wild. Smart ones soon got work. Some got furnished a little provisions to help keep them from starving. Mr. Wiley Lyons come got us after five months. We hung around my brother that had been in the War. I don't know if he was a soldier or a waiter. We worked around Master Lyons' house at Canton till he died. I started farming again with him.
"I get $8 a month pension and high as things is that is a powerful blessing but it ain't enough to feed me good. It cost more to go after the commodities up at Marion than they come to [amount to in value]."

"Mother said I was born the same year peace was declared. I was born before the Civil War close, I reckon. I was born in Tunica, Mississippi. Mother belong to Mistress Cornelia and Master John Hood. He come from Alabama in wagons and brought mother and whole lot of 'em, she said, to Tunica, Mississippi. My mother and father never sold. They told me that. She said she was with the master and he give her to father. He ask her did she want him and ask him if he want her. They lived on joint places. They slept together on Wednesday and Saturday nights. He stayed at Hood's place on Sunday. They was owned by different masters. They didn't never say 'bout stepping over no broom. He was a Prince. When he died she married a man named Russell. I never heard her say what his name was. My father was Mathew Prince. They was both field hands. I never knowed my father. I called my stepfather popper. I always did say mother.
"Mother said her master didn't tell them it was freedom. Other folks got told in August. They passed it 'round secretly. Some Yankees come asked if they was getting paid for picking cotton in September. They told their master. They told the Yankees 'yes' 'cause they was afraid they would be run off and no place to go. They said Master Hood paid them well for their work at cotton selling time. He never promised them nothing. She said he never told one of them to leave or to stay. He let 'em be. I reckon they got fed. I wore cotton sack dresses. It wasn't bagging. It was heavy stiff cloth.[Pg 27]
"Mother and her second husband come to Forrest City. They hoped they could do better. I come too. I worked in the field all my whole life 'cepting six years I worked in a laundry. I washed and ironed. I am a fine ironer. If I was younger I could get all the mens' shirts I could do now. I do a few but I got neuralgia in my arms and shoulders.
"I don't believe in talking 'bout my race. They always been lazy folks and smart folks, and they still is. The present times is good for me. I'm so thankful. I get ten dollars and some help, not much. I don't go after it. I let some that don't get much as I get have it. I told 'em to do that way."

"I was sold four times in slavery times. I was sold through the nigger traders and you know they didn't keep you long.
"I was born in Tennessee, raised in Mississippi, and been here in Arkansas up and down the Arkansas River ever since I was fifteen.
"A fellow bought me in Tennessee and sold me to a fellow named Abe Collins in Mississippi. He sold me to Dr. Maloney and then Winn and Trimble in Hempstead County bought me. They run a tanyard.
"I went to school one day in my life. My third master's children learned me my ABC's in slavery times. I'm not educated but I can read. Read the Bible and something like that.
"The Ku Klux run me one night. They come to the door and I went out the window. They went to my master's tanyard in broad open day and took leather. Oh, I been all through the roughness. But the Lord has blessed me ever since I been in this world. I can see good and hear good and get about.
"I come here to Arkansas with some refugees, and I been up and down the river ever since.
"In slavery times I had plenty to eat, such as 'twas. Had biscuits on Sunday made out of shorts.[Pg 29]
"I lived with one man, Dr. Maloney, who was pretty cruel. I run away from him once, but he caught me fore night. Put me in a little house on bread and water for three or four days and then he sold me. Said he wouldn't have a nigger that would run away. Otherwise I been treated pretty well.
"I come to Pine Bluff in '82. Last place I farmed was at what they call the Nichol place.
"I used to vote Republican—wouldn't let us vote nothin' else. In this country they won't let niggers vote in the primary 'cause they can vote in the presidential election. I held one office—justice of the peace.
"If the younger generation don't change, the Lord goin' to put curses on em. That's just what's goin' to come of em. More you do for em the worse they is. Don't think about the future—just today."

"Papa had twelve children and when he died he lef' two and now I am all the big family left.
"Mama was born in Huntsville, Alabama. I was born there too. She was Liza, b'long to Tom and Unis Martin. Papa b'long to Mistress Sarah and Jack Jamar. They had to work hard. They had to do good work. They had to not slight their work. Papa's main job was to carry water to the hands. He said it kept him on the go. They had more than one water boy. They had to go to the wash hole before they went to bed and wash clean. The men had a place and the women had their place. They didn't have to get in if it was cold but they had to wash off.
"They hauled a wagon load of axes or hoes and lef' 'em in the field so they could get 'em. Then they would haul plows, hoes or axes to the shop to be fixed up. They had two or three sets. They worked from early till late. They had a cook house. They cooked at their own houses when the work wasn't pushing. When they got behind they would work in the moonlight. If they got through they all went and help some neighbor two or three nights and have a big supper sometimes. They done that on Saturday nights, go home and sleep all day Sunday.
"If they didn't have time to wash and clean the houses and the beds some older women would do that and tend to the babies. They had a hard time during the War. It was hard after the War. Papa brought me[Pg 31] to this country to farm. He farmed till he started sawmilling for Chappman Dewy at Marked Tree. Then he swept out and was in the office to help about. He never owned nothing. He come and I farmed. He helped a little. He was so old. He talked more about the War and slavery. I always have farmed. Farmed all my life.
"I don't farm now. I got asthma and cripple with rheumatism. What my wife and children can't do ain't done now. [Three children.] I don't get no help but I applied for it.
"Present times is all right where a man can work. The present generation rather do on heap less and do less work. They ain't got manners and raisin' like I had. They don't know how to be polite. We tries to learn 'em [their children] how to do."

Person interviewed: Nellie James,
Russellville, Arkansas
Age: 72
"Nellie James is my name. Yes, Mr. D. B. James was my husband, and he remembered you very kindly. They call me 'Aunt Nellie.' I was born in Starkville, Ouachita County, Mississippi the twenty-ninth of March, in 1866, just a year after the War closed. My parents were both owned by a plantation farmer in Ouachita County, Mississippi, but we came to Arkansas a good many years ago.
"My husband was principal of the colored school here at Russellville for thirty-five years, and people, both white and black, thought a great deal of him. We raised a family of six children, five boys and a girl, and they now live in different states, some of them in California. One of my sons is a doctor in Chicago and is doing well. They were all well educated. Mr. James saw to that of course.
"So far as I remember from what my parents said, the master was reasonably kind to all his slaves, and my husband said the same thing about his own master although he was quite young at the time they were freed. (Yes sir, you see he was born in slavery.)
"I was too young to remember much about the Ku Klux Klan, but I remember we used to be afraid of them and we children would run and hide when we heard they were coming.
"No sir, I have never voted, because we always had to pay a dollar for the privilege—and I never seemed to have the dollar (laughingly)[Pg 33] to spare at election time. Mr. James voted the Republican ticket regularly though.
"All our family were Missionary Baptists. I united with the Baptist church when I [HW: was] thirteen years old.
"I think the young people of both races are growing wilder and wilder. The parents today are too slack in raising them—too lenient. I don't know where they are headed, what they mean, what they want to do, or what to expect of them. And I'm too busy and have too hard a time trying to make ends meet to keep up with their carryings-on."
NOTE: Mrs. Nellie James, widow of Prof. D. B. James, one of the most successful Negro teachers who ever served in Russellville, is a quiet, refined woman, a good housekeeper, and has reared a large and successful family. She speaks with good, clear diction, and has none of the brogue that is characteristic of the colored race of the South.

Occupation: Cook
"I was born in Lexington, Mississippi, in the year 1872. My mother's name was Florida Hawkins. Florida James was her slavery name. David Jones was her old master. That was in Mississippi—the good old country! People hate it because they don't like the name but it was a mighty good country when I was there. The white people there were better to the colored people when I was there than they are here. But there is a whole lots of places that is worse than Arkansas.
"I have been here forty-eight years and I haven't had any trouble with nobody, and I have owned three homes in my time. My nephew and my brother happened to meet up with each other in France. They thought about me and wrote and told me about it. And I writ to my sister in Chicago following up their information and got in touch with my people. Didn't find them out till the great war started. Had to go to Europe to find my relatives. My sister's people and mine too were born in Illinois, but my mother and two sisters and another brother were born in Mississippi. Their kin born in Illinois were half-brothers and so on.
Refugeeing—Ghosts
"I heard my mother say that her master and them had to refugee them to keep them from the Yankees. She told a ghost tale on that. I guess it must have been true.[Pg 35]
"She said they all hitched up and put them in the wagon and went to driving down the road. Night fell and they came to a big two-story house. They went to bed. The house was empty, and they couldn't raise nobody; so they just camped there for the night. After they went to bed, big balls of fire came rolling down the stairs. They all got scared and run out of the house and camped outside for the night. There wasn't no more sleeping in that house.
"Some people believe in ghosts and some don't. What do you believe? This is what I have seen myself. Mules and horses were running 'round screaming and hollering every night. One day, I was walking along when I saw a mule big as an elephant with ears at least three feet long and eyes as big as auto lamps. He was standing right in the middle of the road looking at me and making no motion to move. I was scared to death, but I stooped down to pick up a stone. It wasn't but a second. But when I raised up, he had vanished. He didn't make a sound. He just disappeared in a second. That was in the broad open daylight. That was what had been causing all the confusion with the mules and horses.
"When I first married I used to room with an old lady named Johnson. Time we went to bed and put the light out, something would open the doors. Finally I got scared and used to tell my wife to get up and close the doors. Finally she got skittish about it. There used to be the biggest storms around there and yet you couldn't see nothin'. There wasn't no rain nor nothin'. Just sounds and noises like storms. My wife comes to visit me sometimes now.
"My mother says there wasn't any such thing as marriage in slave times. Old master jus' said, 'There's your husband, Florida.'"

This Information given by: Ellis Jefferson (Uncle Jeff) (C)
Place of Residence: Hazen, Arkansas
Occupation: Superanuated Minister of the M. E. Church
Age: 77
[TR: Personal information moved from bottom of form.]
He has his second eyesight and his hair is short and white. He is a black skinned, bright-eyed old man. "Uncle Jeff" said he remembered when the Civil War had ended they passed by where he lived with teams, wagons filled, and especially the artillery wagon. They were carrying them back to Washington. His mother was freed from Mrs. Nancy Marshall of Roanoke, Va. She moved and brought his mother, he and his sister, Ann, to Holly Springs, Miss. The county was named for his mistress: Marshall County, Mississippi.
In 1868 they moved to [HW: within] 4 miles of DeWitt and 10 miles of Arkansas Post. Later they moved to Kansas and near Wichita then back to Marshall, Texas. His sister has four sons down there. He thinks she is still living. His Mistress went back to Roanoke, Va., and his mother died at Marshall. Tom Marshall was his Master's name, but he seems to have died in the Civil War. This old Uncle Jeff lived in Alabama and has preached there and in northern Mississippi and near Helena, Arkansas. He helped cook at Helena in a hotel. He preaches some but the WPA supports him now. Uncle Jeff can't remember his dreams he said "The Bible says, young men dream dreams and old men see visions."
[Pg 37]
He had a real vision once, he was going late one afternoon to get his mules up and he heard a voice "I have a voice I want you to complete. Carry my word." He was a member of the church but he made a profession and a year later was ordained into the ministry. He believes in dreams. Says they are warnings.
Uncle Jeff says he has written some poetry but it has all been lost.
When anyone dies the sexton goes to the church and tolls the bell as many times as the dead person is old. They take the body to the church for the night and they gather there and watch. He believes the soul rises from the ground on the Resurrection Day. He believes some people can put a "spell" on other people. He said that was witchery.

[TR: Personal information moved from bottom of form.]
"I was born in 1856. My age was kept with the cattle. As a rule, you know, slaves were chattels. There was a fire and the Bible in which the ages were kept was lost. The man who owned me couldn't remember what month I was born in. Out of thirteen children, my mother could only remember the age of one. I had twelve brothers and sisters—Bob Lacy, William Henry, Cain Cecil, Jessie, Charles, Harvey, Johnnie, Anna, Rose, Hannah, Lucy, and Thomas. I am the only one living now. My parents were both slaves. My father has been dead about fifty-nine years and my mother about sixty or sixty-one years. She died before I married and I have been married fifty years. I have them in my Bible.
I remember when Lincoln was elected president and they said there was going to be war. I remember when they had [HW: a] slave market in New Orleans. I was living betweeen [TR: between] Pine Bluff and New Orleans (living in Arkansas) and saw the slaves chained together as they were brought through my place and located somewhere on some of the big farms or plantations.
I never saw any of the fighting but I did see some of the Confederate armies when they were retreating near the end of the war. I was just about ten years old at the time and was in Marshall, Texas.
The man that owned me said to the old people that they[Pg 39] were free, that they didn't belong to him any more, that Abraham Lincoln had set them free. Of course, I didn't know what freedom was. They brought the news to them one evening, and them niggers danced nearly all night.
I remember also seeing a runaway slave. We saw the slaves first, and the dogs came behind chasing them. They passed through our field about half an hour ahead of the hounds, but the dogs would be trailing them. The hunters didn't bother to stop and question us because they knew the hounds were on the trail. I have known slaves to run away and stay three years at a time. Master would whip them and they would run away. They wouldn't have no place to go or stay so they would come back after a while. Then they would be punished again. They wouldn't punish them much, however, because they might run off again.
MARRIAGE
If I went on a plantation and saw a girl I wanted to marry, I would ask my master to buy her for me. It wouldn't matter if she were somebody else's wife; she would become mine. The master would pay for her and bring her home and say, "John, there's your wife. That is all the marriage there would be. Yellow women used to be a novelty then. You wouldn't see one-tenth as many then as now. In some cases, however, a man would retain his wife [Pg 40]even after she had been sold away from him and would have permission to visit her from time to time.
INHERITANCE OF SLAVES
If a man died, he often stated in his will which slaves should go to each child he had. Some men had more than a hundred slaves and they divided them up just as you would cattle. Some times there were certain slaves that certain children liked, and they were granted those slaves.
WHAT THE FREEDMEN RECEIVED
Nothing was given to my parents at freedom. None of the niggers got anything. They didn't give them anything. The slaves were hired and allowed to work the farms on shares. That is where the system of share cropping came from. I was hired for fifty dollars a year, but was paid only five. The boss said he owed me fourteen dollars but five was all I got. I went down town and bought some candy. It was the first time I had had that much money.
I couldn't do anything about the pay. They didn't give me any land. They hired me to work around the house and I ate what the boss ate. But the general run of slaves got pickled pork, molasses, cornmeal and sometimes flour (about once a week for Sunday). The food came out of the share of the share cropper.[Pg 41]
You can tell what they did by what they do now. It (share cropping) hasn't changed a particle since. About Christmas was the time they usually settled up. Nobody was forced to remain as a servant. I know one thing,—Negroes did not go to jail and penitentiary like they do now.
KU KLUX KLAN
The Ku Klux Klan to the best of my knowledge went into action about the time shortly after the war when the amendments to the Constitution gave the Negroes the right to vote. I have seen them at night dressed up in their uniform. They would visit every Negro's house in the comunity [TR: community]. Some they would take out and whip, some they would scare to death. They would ask for a drink of water and they had some way of drinking a whole bucketful to impress the Negroes that they were supernatural. Negroes were very superstitious then. Colonel Patterson who was a Republican and a colonel or general of the militia, white and colored, under the governorship of Powell Clayton, stopped the operation of the Klan in this state. After his work, they ceased terrorizing the people.
POLITICAL OFFICIALS
Many an ex-slave was elected sheriff, county clerk, probate clerk, Pinchback[A] was elected governor in Louisiana. The first Negro congressman was from Mississippi and a Methodist preacher[Pg 42] Hiram Revells[B]. We had a Nigger superintendent of schools of the state of Arkansas, J. C. Corbin[C]—I don't remember just when, but it was in the early seventies. He was also president of the state school in Pine Bluff—organized it.
SUFFRAGE
The ex-slave voted like fire directly after the war. That was about all that did vote then. If the Niggers hadn't voted they never would have been able to elect Negroes to office.
I was elected Alderman once in Little Rock under the administration of Mayer Kemer. We had Nigger coroner, Chief of Police, Police Judge, Policemen. Ike Gillam's father was coroner. Sam Garrett was Chief of Police; Judge M. W. Gibbs was Police Judge. He was also a receiver of public lands. So was J. E. Bush, who founded the Mosaics [HW: (Modern Mosaic Templars of America)]. James W. Thompson, Bryant Luster, Marion H. Henderson, Acy L. Richardson, Childress' father-in-law, were all aldermen. James P. Noyer Jones was County Clerk of Chicot County, S. H. Holland, a teacher of mine, a little black nigger about five feet high, as black as ink, but well educated was sheriff of Desha County. Augusta had a Negro who was sheriff. A Negro used to hold good offices in this state.
I charge the change to Grant. The Baxter-Brooks matter caused it. Baxter was a Southern Republican from the Northeastern part of the state, Batesville, a Southern man who took sides with the North in the war. Brooks was a Methodist preacher from the North somewheres. When Grant recognized the Baxter faction whom the old ex-slaveholders supported because he was a Southerner and sided with Baxter against Brooks, it put the present Democratic party in power, and they passed the Grandfather law barring Negroes from voting.
Negroes were intimidated by the Ku Klux. They were counted out. Ballot boxes were burned and ballots were destroyed. Finally, Negroes got discouraged and quit trying to vote."

"I had two sisters Ann and Mariah. Old Miss Nancy Marshall had kin folks at Marshall, Texas. She took Ann with her and I have never seen her since.
"In 1878 we immigrated to Kansas. We soon got back to Helena. Mariah died there and in 1881 mother died.
"Old Miss Nancy's boys named Blunt, John, Bill, Harp. I don't know where they scattered out to finally.
"All my folks ever expected was freedom. We was nicely taken care of till the family split up. My father was suppressed.[Pg 44] He belong to Master Ernman. He run off and went on with the Yankees when they come down from Virginia. We think he got killed. We never heard from him after 1863.
"In 1882 my white folks went to Padukah, Kentucky. They was on the run from Yellow Fever. They had kin up there. I stayed in Memphis and nursed. They put up flags. Negroes didn't have it. They put coffins on the porches before the people died. Carried wagons loads of dead bodies wrapped in sheets. White folks would meet and pray the disease be lifted. When they started vomiting black, there was no more hopes. Had to hold them on bed when they was dying. When they have Yellow Fever white folks turn yellow. I never heard of a case of Yellow Fever in Memphis mong my race. Dr. Stone of New Orleans had better luck with the disease than any other doctor. I was busy from June till October in Memphis. They buried the dead in long trenches. Nearly all the business houses was closed. The boats couldn't stop in towns where Yellow Fever had broke out.
"I never seen the Ku Klux.
"I never seen no one sold. My father still held a wild animal instinct up in Virginia; they couldn't keep him out of the woods. He would spend two or three days back in there. Then the Patty Rollers would run him out and back home. He was a quill blower and a banjo picker. They had two corn piles and for prizes they give them whiskey. They had dances and regular figure callers. This has been told to me at night time around the hearth understand. I can recollect when round dancing come in. It was in 1880. Here's a song they sung back in Virginia: 'Moster and mistress both gone away. Gone down to Charleston/ to spend the summer day. I'm off to Charleston/early in the mornin'/ to spend nother day.'[Pg 45]
"I used to help old Miss Nancy make candles for her little brass lamp. We boiled down maple sap and made sugar. We made turpentine.
"I don't know about the Nat Turner Rebellion in Virginia. We had rebellions at Helena in 1875. The white folks put the Negroes out of office. They put J. T. White in the river at Helena but I think he got out. Several was killed. J. T. White was a colored sheriff in Phillips County. In Lee County it was the same way. The Republican party would lect them and the Democratic party roust them out of office.
"In 1872 I went to school 2-1/2 miles to Arkansas Post to a white teacher. I went four months. Her name was Mrs. Rolling. My white folks started me and I could spell to 'Baker' in the Blue Book Speller before I started to school. That is the only book I ever had at school. I learned to read in the Bible next.
"In 1872 locust was numerous. We had four diseases to break out: whooping cough, measles, smallpox; and cholera broke out again. They vaccinated for smallpox, first I ever heard of it. They took matter out of one persons arm and put it in two dozen peoples arms. It killed out the smallpox.
"In 1873 I saw a big forest fire. It seemed like prairie and forest fires broke out often.
"When I growed up and run with boys my color I got wicked. We gambled and drunk whiskey, then I seen how I was departing from good raising. I changed. I stopped sociating with bad company. The Lord hailed me in wide open day time and told me my better life was pleasing in his sight. I heard him. I didn't see nuthin'. I was called upon to teach a Sunday School class. Three months I was Sunday School leader.[Pg 46] Three months more I was a licensed preacher. Ordained under Bishop Lee, Johnson, Copeland—all colored bishops at Topeka, Kansas. Then I attended conference at Bereah, Kentucky. Bishop Dizney presided. I preached in Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. I am now what they call a superannuated minister.
"One criticism on my color. They will never progress till they become more harmonious in spirit with the desires of the white people in the home land of the white man. I mean when a white person come want some work or a favor and he not go help him without too much pay."

"I was born a few years before the break out of the old war (Civil War). I had a boy fit in this last war (World War). He gets a pension and he sends me part of it every month. He don't send me no amount whatever he can spare me. He never do send me less than ten dollars. I pick cotton some last year. I pick twenty or thirty pounds and it got to raining and so cold my granddaughter said it would make me sick.
"I was born durin' slavery. I was born 'bout twenty-five miles from Nolan, Tennessee. They call me Ab Jenkins for my old master. He was A. B. Jenkins. I don't know if his name was Absolom or not. Mother was name Liddy Strum. They was both sold on the block. They both come to Tennessee from Virginia in a drove and was sold to men lived less than ten miles apart. Then they got consent and got married. I don't know how they struck up together.
"They had three families of us. We lived up close to A. B. Jenkins' house. He had been married. He was old man when I knowed him. His daughter lived with him. She was married. Her husband was brought home from the war dead. I don't know if he got sick and died or shot. The only little children on the place was me and Jake Jenkins. We was no kin but jus' like twins. Master would call us up and stick his finger in biscuits and pour molasses in the hole. That was sure good eating. The 'lasses wouldn't spill till we done et it up. He'd fix us up another one. He give us biscuits oftener than the grown folks got them. We had plenty wheat bread till the old war come on.[Pg 48] My mother beat biscuits with a paddle. She cooked over at Strum's. I lived over at Jenkins. Grandma Kizzy done my cooking. Master's girl cooked us biscuits. Master Jenkins loose his hat, his stick, his specks, and call us to find 'em. He could see. He called us to keep us outer badness. We had a big business of throwing at things. He threatened to whoop us. We slacked up on it. I never heard them say but I believe from what I seen it was agreed to divide the children. Pa would take me over to see mama every Sunday morning. We leave soon as I could get my clean long shirt and a little to eat. We walked four miles. He'd tote me. She had a girl with her. I never stayed over there much and the girl never come to my place 'cepting when mama come. They let her stand on the surrey and Eloweise stand inside when they went to preaching. She'd ride Master Jenkins' mare home and turn her loose to come home. Me and papa always walked.
"When freedom come on, the country was tore to pieces. Folks don't know what hard times is now. Some folks said do one thing for the best, somebody said do another way. Folks roved around for five or six years trying to do as well as they had done in slavery. It was years 'fore they got back to it. I was grown 'fore they ever got to doing well again. My folks got off to Nashville. We lived there by the hardest—eight in family. We moved to Mississippi bottoms not far from Meridian. We started picking up. We all got fat as hogs. We farmed and done well. We got to own forty acres of ground and lost two of the girls with malaria fever. Then we sold out and come to Helena. We boys, four of us, farmed, hauled wood, sawmilled, worked on the boats about till our parents died. They died close to Marion on a farm we rented. I had two boys. One got drowned. The other helps me out a heap. He got some little children now and got one grown and married.[Pg 49]
"The Ku Klux was hot in Tennessee. They whooped a heap of people. The main thing was to make the colored folks go to work and not steal, but it was carpet-baggers stealing and go pack it on colored folks. They'd tell colored folks not to do this and that and it would get them in trouble. The Ku Klux would whoop the colored folks. Some colored folks thought 'cause they was free they ought not work. They got to rambling and scattered out.
"I voted a long time. The voting has caused trouble all along. I voted different ways—sometimes Republican and sometimes Independent. I don't believe women ought to vote somehow. I don't vote. I voted for Cleveland years ago and I voted for Wilson. I ain't voted since the last war. I don't believe in war.
"Times have changed so much it is lack living in another world now. Folks living in too much hurry. They getting too fast. They are restless. I see a heaps of overbearing folks now. Folks after I got grown looked so fresh and happy. Young folks look tired, mad, worried now. They fixes up their face but it still show it. Folks quicker than they used to be. They acts before they have time to think now. Times is good for me but I see old folks need things. I see young folks wasteful—both black and white. White folks setting the pace for us colored folks. It's mighty fast and mighty hard."

"I was born at Bow-and-arrow, Arkansas. Sid McDaniel owned my father. Mother was Mary Miller and she married Pete Williams from Tennessee. Grandma lived with us till she died. She used to have us sit around handy to thread her needles. She was a great hand to piece quilts. Her and Aunt Polly both. Aunt Polly was a friend that was sold with her every time. They was like sisters and the most pleasure to each other in old age.
"My great-great-grandma said to grandma, 'Hurry back wid that pitcher of water, honey, so you will have time to run by and see your mama and the children and tell them good-bye. Old master says you going to be sold early in the morning.' The water was for supper. That was the last time she ever seen or heard of any of her own kin folks. Grandma said a gang of them was sold next morning. Aunt Polly was no kin but they was sold together. Whitfield bought one and Strum bought the other.
"They come on a boat from Virginia to Aberdeen, Mississippi. They wouldn't sell her mother because she brought fine children. I think she said they had a regular stock man. She and Aunt Polly was sold several times and together till freedom. When they got off the boat they had to walk a right smart ways and grandma's feet cracked open and bled. 'Black Mammy' wrapped her feet up in rags and greased them with hot tallow or mutton suet and told her not to cry no more, be a good girl and mind master and mistress.[Pg 51]
"Grandma said she had a hard time all her life. She was my mother's mother and she lived to be way over a hundred years old. Aunt Polly lived with her daughter when she got old. Grandma died first. Then Aunt Polly grieved so. She was old, old when she died. They still lived close together, mostly together. Aunt Polly was real black; mama was lighter. I called grandma 'mama' a right smart too. They called each other 'sis'. Grandma said, 'I love sis so good.' Aunt Polly lessened her days grieving for sis. They was both field hands. They would tell us girls about how they lived when they was girls. We'd cry.
"We lived in the country and we listened to what they said to us. If it had been times then like now I wouldn't know to tell you. Folks is in such a hurry somehow. Gone or going somewhere all the time.
"All my folks is most all full-blood African. I don't believe in races mixing up. It is a sin. Grandma was the brightest one of any of us. She was ginger-cake color.
"No, I don't vote. I don't believe in that neither.
"Times is too fast. Fast folks makes fast times. They all fast. Coming to destruction."

Age: 96
"I was born twelve miles from the capital, Jackson, Mississippi, on Strickland's place. My mother was born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Master Jim Battle was old man. He owned three big plantations, full of niggers. They took me to Edgecombe County where my mother was born. Battles was rich set of white folks. They lived at Tarbry, North Carolina and some at Rocky Mount. Joe Battle was my old master. There was Hue Battle too. Master Joe Battle and Master Marmaduke was bosses of the whole country. They told Mars Joe not to whoop that crazy nigger man. He undertook it. He hit him seven licks with the hoe and killed him. Killed him in Mississippi.
"Master Marmaduke fell at the hotel at Greensboro, North Carolina. He was a hard drinker and they didn't tell them about it at the hotel. He got up in the night, fell down the steps and killed hisself. Tom Williams didn't drink. He went to war and got shot. He professed religion when he was twelve years old and kept the faith. Had his Testament in his pocket and blood run on it. That was when he was shot in the Civil War.
"They took that crazy nigger man to several places, found there was no law to kill a crazy man. They took him to North Carolina where was all white folks at that place in Edgecombe County. They hung the poor crazy nigger. They was 'fraid of uprisings the reason they took him to place all white folks lived.[Pg 53]
"My papa and Brutten (Brittain) Williams same age. Old Mistress Frankie (Tom Williams', Sr. wife) say, 'Let 'em be, he ain't goiner whoop Fenna, he's kin to him. He ain't goiner lay his hand on Fenna.' They whoop niggers black as me. Fenna waited on Master Brutten Williams. Fenna was half white. He was John Williams' boy. John was Brutten's brother. John Williams went to Mississippi and overseed for Mr. Bass. Mars Brutten got crazy. He'd shoot at anything and call it a hawk.
"Mother was a field woman. When she got in ill health, they put her to sew. Miss Evaline Perry in Mississippi learned her how to sew. She sewed up bolts of cloth into clothes for the niggers.
"Brutten Williams bought her from Joe Battle and he willed her to Joe Williams. She cooked and wove some in her young life. Rich white folks didn't sell niggers unless they got mad about them. Like mother, they changed her about. We never was cried off and put up in front of the public.
"Mars Joe Battle wasn't good. He ruled 'em all. He was Mars Marmaduke Battle's uncle. They went 'round to big towns and had a good time. Miss Polly Henry married Mars Brutten. He moved back (from Mississippi) to North Carolina. They had a big orchard. They give it all away soon as it ripen. He had a barrel of apple and peach brandy. He give some of it out in cups. They said there was some double rectifying in that barrel of brandy. He died.
"Master Tom was killed in war. When he had a ferlough he give all the men on his place five dollars and every woman a sow pig to raise from. Tole us all good-bye, said he'd never get back alive. He give me one and my mother one too. We prized them hogs 'bove everything we ever had. He got killed. Master Tom was so good to his niggers. He never whooped them. His wife ruled him, made him do like she wanted everything but mean to his niggers.[Pg 54] Her folks slashed their niggers and she tried to make him do that too. He wouldn't. They said she wore the breeches 'cause she ruled him.
"She was Mistress Helland Harris Williams. She took our big hogs away from every one of us. We raised 'em up fine big hogs. She took them away from us. Took all the hogs Master Tom give us back. She had plenty land he left her and cows, some hogs. She married Allen Hopkins. They had a boy. He sent him to Texas, then he left her. She was so mean. Followed the boy to Texas. They all said she couldn't rule Allen Hopkins like she did Tom Williams. She didn't.
"When freedom come on, mother and me both left her 'cause I seen she wouldn't do. My papa left too and he had raised a little half white boy. 'Cause he was same age of Brutten Williams, Tom took Brutten's little nigger child and give him to papa to raise. His name Wilks. His own black mama beat him. When freedom come on, we went to Cal Pierce's place. They kept Wilks. He used to run off and come to us. They give him to somebody else 'way off. Tom had a brother in Georgia. It was Tom's wife wouldn't let Wilks go on living with us.
"Old mistress just did rave about her boys mixing up with them niggers but she was better than any other white women to Wilks and Fenna and George.
"'Big Will' could do much as any two other niggers. When they bought him a axe, it was a great big axe. They bought him a great big hoe. They got a new overseer. Overseer said he use a hoe and axe like everybody else. 'Big Will' killed the overseer with his big axe. Jim Battle was gone off. His son Marmaduke Battle put him in jail. When Jim Battle come back he said Marmaduke ought to sent for him, not put him in jail. Jim Battle sold 'Big Will'. We never heard or seen him no more. His family stayed on the plantation and worked. 'Big Will' could split as many more rails as anybody else on the place.[Pg 55]
"I seen people sell babies out of the cradle. Poor white people buy babies and raise them.
"The Battles had gins and stores in North Carolina and Williams had farms, nothing but farms.
"When I was a girl I nursed the nigger women's babies and seen after the children. I nursed Tom Williams' boy, Johnny Williams. He run to me, said, 'Them killed my papa.' I took him up in my arms. Then was when the Yankee soldiers come on the place. Sid Williams went to war. I cooked when the regular cook was weaving. Mother carded and spun then. I had a ounce of cotton to card every night from September till March. When I'd be dancing around, Miss Helland Harris Williams say, 'You better be studying your pewter days.' Meant for me to stop dancing.
"Mistress Polly married a Perry, then Right Hendrick. Perrys was rich folks. When Marmaduke Battle died all the niggers cried and cried and bellowed because they thought they would be sold and get a mean master.
"They had a mean master right then—Right Hendrick. Mean a man as ever God ever wattled a gut in I reckon. That was in Mississippi. They took us back and forth when it suited them. We went in hacks, surreys and stage-coaches, wagons, horseback, and all sorts er ways. We went on big river boats sometimes. They sold off a lot of niggers to settle up the estate. What I want to know is how they settle up estates now.
"They parched persimmon seed and wheat during the war to make coffee. I ploughed during the Civil War. Strange people come through, took our snuff and tobacco. Master Tom said for us not have no light at night so the robbers couldn't find us so easy. He was a good man. The Yankees said they had to subdue our country. They took everything they could find. Times was hard. That was in North Carolina.[Pg 56]
"When Brutten Williams bought me and mama—mama was Liza Williams—Master Brutten bought her sister three or four years after that and they took us to (Zeblin or) Sutton in Franklin County. Now they call it Wakefield Post Office. Brutten willed us to Tom. Sid, Henry, John was Tom Williams' boys, and his girls were Pink and Tish.
"Master John and Marmaduke Battle was rich as they could be. They was Joe Battle's uncles. Jesse Ford was Marmaduke's half-brother in Texas. He come to Mississippi to get his part of the niggers and the rest was put on a block and sold. Master Marmaduke broke his neck when he fell downstairs. I never heard such crying before nor since as I heard that day. Said they lost their best master. They knowed how bad they got whooped on Ozoo River.
"Master Marmaduke walked and bossed his overseers. He went to the big towns. He never did marry. My last master was Tom Williams. He was so nice to us all. He confessed religion. He worked us hard, then hard times come when he went to war. He knowed our tracks—foot tracks and finger tracks both.
"Somebody busted a choice watermelon, plugged it out with his fingers and eat it. Master Tom said, 'Fenna, them your finger marks.' Then he scolded him good fashioned. Old Mistress Frankie say, 'Don't get scared, he ain't go to whoop him, they kin. Fenna kin to him, he not goiner hurt him.'
"At the crossroads there was a hat shop. White man brought a lot of white free niggers to work in the hat shop. Way they come free niggers. Some poor woman had no living. Nigger men steal flour or a hog, take it and give it to her. She be hungry. Pretty soon a mulatto baby turned up. Then folks want to run her out the country. Sometimes they did.[Pg 57]
"Old man Stinson (Stenson?) left and went to Ohio. They wrote back to George to come after them to Ohio. Bill Harris had a baltimore trotter. The letter lay about in the post office. They broke it open, read it, give it to his owner. He got mad and sold George. He was Sam Harrises carriage driver. Dick and him was half-brothers. Dick learned him about reading and writing. When the war was over George come through on the train. Sam Harris run up there, cracked his heels together, hugged him, and give him ten dollars. He sold him when he was so mad. I don't know if he went to Ohio to Stinson's or not.
"We stayed in the old country twenty-five or thirty years after freedom.
"When we left Miss Helland Harris Williams', Tim Terrel come by there with his leg shot off and was there till he could get on to his folks.
"When I come here I was expecting to go to California. There was cars going different places. We got on Mr. Boyd's car. He paid our way out here. Mr. Jones brought his car to Memphis and stopped. Mr. Boyd brought us right here. That was in 1892. We got on the train at Raleigh, North Carolina.
"Papa bought forty acres land from the Boyd estate. Our children scattered and we sold some of it. We got twenty acres. Some of it in woods. I had to sell my cow to bury my granddaughter what lived with me—taking care of me. Papa tole my son to take care of me and since he died my son gone stone blind. I ain't got no chickens hardly. I go hungry nigh all the time. I gets eight dollars for me and my blind son both. If I could get a cow. We tries to have a garden. They ain't making nothing on my land this year. I'm having the hardest time I ever seen in my life.[Pg 58] I got a toothpick in my ear and it's rising. The doctor put some medicine in my ears—both of them.
"When I was in slavery I wore peg shoes. I'd be working and not time to take off my shoes and fix the tacks—beat 'em down. They made holes in bottoms of my feet; now they got to be corns and I can't walk and stand."
Interviewer's Comment
This is another one of those terrible cases. This old woman is on starvation. She had a cow and can't get another one. The son is blind but feels about and did milk. The bedbugs are nearly eating her up. They scald but can't get rid of them. They have a fairly good house to live in. But the old woman is on starvation and away back eight miles from Biscoe. I hate to see good old Negroes want for something to eat. She acts like a small child. Pitiful, so feeble. The second time I went out there I took her daughter who walks out there every week. We fixed her up an iron bedstead so she can sleep better. I took her a small cake. That was her dinner. She had eaten one egg that morning. She was a clean, kind old woman. Very much like a child. Has a rising in her head and said she was afraid her head would kill her. She gave me a gallon of nice figs her daughter picked, so I paid her twenty-five cents for them. She had plenty figs and no sugar.

"You want to know what they did in slavery times! They were doin' jus' what they do now. The white folks was beatin' the niggers, burning 'em and boilin' 'em, workin' 'em and doin' any other thing they wanted to do with them. 'Course you wasn't here then to know about nigger dogs and bull whips, were you? The same thing is goin' on right now. They got the same bull whips and the same old nigger dogs. If you don't believe it, go right out here to the county farm and you find 'em still whippin' the niggers and tearing them up and sometimes lettin' the dogs bite them to save the bull whips.
"I was here in slavery time but I was small and I don't know much about it 'cept what they told me. But you don't need to go no further to hear all you want to know. They sont you to the right place. They all know me and they call me Mother Johnson. So many folks been here long as me, but don't want to admit it. They black their hair and whiten their faces, and powder and paint. 'Course it's good to look good all right. But when you start that stuff, you got to keep it up. Tain't no use to start and stop. After a while you got that same color hair and them same splotches again. Folks say, 'What's the matter, you gittin so dark?' Then you say, 'Uh, my liver is bad.' You got to keep that thing up, baby.
"I thank God for my age. I thank God He's brought me safe all the way. That is the matter with this world now. It ain't got enough religion.[Pg 60]
"I was born in Mississippi way below Jackson in Crystal Springs. That is on the I. C. Road near New Orleans. The train that goes there goes to New Orleans. I was bred and born and married there in Crystal Springs. I don't know just when I was born but I know it was in the month of December.
"I remember when the slaves were freed. I remember the War 'cause I used to hear them talking about the Yankees and I didn't know whether they were mules or horses or what not. I didn't know if they was varmints or folks or what not. I can't remember whether I seen any soldiers or not. I heard them talking about soldiers, but I didn't see none right 'round where we was.
"Now what good's that all goin' to do me? It ain't goin' to do me no good to have my name in Washington. Didn't do me no good if he stuck my name up on a stick in Washington. Some of them wouldn't know me. Those that did would jus' say, 'That's old Alice Johnson.'
"Us old folks, they don't count us. They jus' kick us out of the way. They give me 'modities and a mite to spend. Time you go and get lard, sugar, meat, and flour, and pay rent and buy wood, you don't have 'nough to go 'round. Now that might do you some good if you didn't have to pay rent and buy wood and oil and water. I'll tell you something so you can earn a living. Your mama give you a education so you can earn a living and you earnin' it jus' like she meant you to. But most of us don't earn it that way, and most of these educated folks not earnin' a livin' with their education. They're in jail somewheres. They're walkin' up and down Ninth Street and runnin' in and out of these here low dives. You go down there to the penitentiary and count those prisoners and I'll bet you don't find nary one that don't know how to read and write. They're all educated. Most of these educated niggers don't have no feeling for common niggers.[Pg 61] 'They just walk on them like they wasn't living. And don't come to 'em tellin' them that you wanting to use them!
"The people et the same thing in slavery time that they eat now. Et better then 'n they do now. Chickens, cows, mules died then, they throw 'em to the buzzards. Die now, they sell 'em to you to eat. Didn't eat that in slavery time. Things they would give to the dogs then, they sell to the people to eat now. People et pure stuff in slavery. Don't eat pure stuff now. Got pure food law, but that's all that is pure.
"My mother's name was Diana Benson and my father's name was Joe Brown. That's what folks say, I don't know. I have seen them but I wasn't brought up with no mother and father. Come up with the white folks and colored folks fust one and then the other. I think my mother and father died before freedom. I don't know what the name of their master was. All my folks died early.
"The fus' white folks I knowed anything about was Rays. They said that they were my old slave-time masters. They were nice to me. Treated me like they would their own children. Et and slept with them. They treated me jus' like they own. Heap of people say they didn't have no owners, but they got owners yet now out there on that government farm.
"The fus' work I done in my life was nussing. I was a child then and I stayed with the white folks' children. Was raised up in the house with 'em. I was well taken care of too. I was jus' like their children. That was at Crystal Springs.
"I left them before I got grown and went off with other folks. I never had no reason. Jus' went on off. I didn't go for better because I was doing better. They jus' told me to come and I went.[Pg 62]
"I been living now in Arkansas ever since 1911. My husband and I stayed on to work and make a living. I take care of myself. I'm not looking for nothin' now but a better home over yonder—better home than this. Thank the Lawd, I gits along all right. The government gives me a check to buy me a little meat and bread with. Maybe the government will give me back that what they took off after a while. I don't know. It takes a heap of money to feed thousands and millions of people. When the check comes, I am glad to git it no matter how little it is. Twarn't for it, I would be in a sufferin' condition.
"I belong to the Arch Street Baptist Church. I been for about twenty years. I was married sixteen years to my first husband and twenty-eight to my second. The last one has been dead five years and the other one thirty-six years. I ain't got none walkin' 'round. All my husbands is dead. There ain't nothin' in this quitin' and goin' and breakin' up and bustin' up. I don't tell no woman to quit and don't tell no man to quit. Go over there and git 'nother woman and she will be wuss than the one you got. When you fall out, reason and git together. Do right. I stayed with both of my husbands till they died. I ain't bothered 'bout another one. Times is so hard no man can take care of a woman now. Come time to pay rent, 'What you waiting for me to pay rent for? You been payin' it, ain't you?' Come time to buy clothes, 'What you waitin' for me to buy clothes for? Where you gittin' 'um from before you mai'd me?' Come time to pay the grocery bill, 'How come you got to wait for me to pay the grocery bill? Who been payin' it?' No Lawd, I don't want no man unless he works. What could I do with him? I don't want no man with a home and bank account. You can't git along with 'im. You can't git along with him and you can't git along with her."

"I was born in Georgia about twelve miles from Cartersville, in Cass County, and about the same distance from Cassville. I was a boy about eight or nine years old when I come from there. But I have a very good memory. Then I have seed the distance and everything in the Geography. My folks were dead long ago now. My oldest brother is dead too. He was just large enough to go to the mills. In them times, they had mills. They would fix him on the horse and he would go ahead.
"My father's name was Clem Johnson, and my mother's name was Mandy. Her madam's name I don't know. I was small. I remember my grandma. She's dead long long ago. Long time ago! I think her name was Rachel. Yes, I'm positive it was Rachel. That is what I believe. I was a little bitty fellow then. I think she was my mother's mother. I know one of my mother's sisters. Her name was Lucinda. I don't know how many she had nor nothin'.
"Johnsons was the name of the masters my mother and father had. They go by the name of Johnson yet. Before that I don't know who they had for masters. The pastor's name was Lindsay Johnson and the old missis was Mary Johnson. People long time ago used to send boys big enough to ride to the mill. My brother used to go. It ran by water-power. They had a big mill pond. They dammed that up. When they'd get ready to run the mill, they'd open that dam and it would turn the wheel. My oldest brother went to the mill and played with old master's son and me.[Pg 64]
"They used to throw balls over the house and see which could catch them first. There would be three or four on a side of the house and they would throw the ball over the house to see which side would be quickest and aptest.
"My mother and father both belonged to the same man, Lindsay Johnson. I was a small boy. I can't tell you how he was to his folks. Seems like though he was pretty good to us. Seemed like he was a pretty good master. He didn't overwork his niggers. He didn't beat and 'buse them. He gave them plenty to eat and drink. You see the better a Negro looked and the finer he was the more money he would bring if they wanted to sell them. I have heard my mother and father talk about it plenty of times.
"My father worked in the field during slavery. My mother didn't do much of no kind of work much. She was a woman that had lots of children to take care of. She had four children during slavery and twelve altogether. Her children were all small when freedom was declared. My oldest brother, I don't remember much about slavery except playing 'round with him and with the other little boys, the white boys and the nigger boys. They were very nice to me.
"I was a great big boy when I heard them talking about the pateroles catching them or whipping them. At that time when they would go off they would have to have a pass. When they went off if they didn't have a pass they would whip and report them to their owners. And they would be likely to get another brushing from the owners. The pateroles never bothered the children any. The children couldn't go anywhere without the consent of the mother and father. And there wasn't any danger of them running off. If they caught a little child between plantations, they would probably just run them home. It was all right for a child to go in the different quarters and play with one another during daytime just so they got back before night.[Pg 65] I was a small boy but I have very good recollections about these things. I couldn't tell you whether the pateroles ever bothered my father or not. Never heard him say. But he was a careful man and he always knew the best time and way to go and come. Them old fellows had a way to git by as well as we do now.
"They fed the slaves about what they wanted to. They would give them meat and flour and meal. I used to hear my father say the old boss fed him well. Then again they would have hog killln' time 'long about Christmas. The heads, lights, chittlings and fats would be given to the slaves. 'Course I didn't know much about that only what I heard from the old folks talking about it. They lived in the way of eating, I suppose, better than they do now. Had no expense whatever.
"As to amusements, I'll tell you I don't know. They'd have little dances about like they do now. And they give quiltings and they'd have a ring play. My mother never knew anything about dances and fiddling and such things; she was a Christian. They had churches you know. My white folks didn't object to the niggers goin' to meetin'. 'Course they had to have a pass to go anywhere. If they didn't they'd git a brushin' from the pateroles if they got caught and the masters were likely to give them another light brushin' when they got home.
"I think that was a pretty good system. They gave a pass to those that were allowed to be out and the ones that were supposed to be out were protected. Of course, now you are your own free agent and you can go and come as you please. Now the police take the place of the pateroles. If they find you out at the wrong time and place they are likely to ask you about it.[Pg 66]
"A slave was supposed to pick a certain amount of cotton I have heard. They had tasks. But we didn't pick cotton. Way back in Georgia that ain't no cotton country. Wheat, corn, potatoes, and things like that. But in Louisiana and Mississippi, there was plenty of cotton. Arkansas wasn't much of a cotton state itself. It was called a 'Hoojer' state when I was a boy. That is a reference to the poor white man. He was a 'Hoojer'. He wasn't rich enough to own no slaves and they called him a 'Hoojer'.
"The owners would hire them to take care of the niggers and as overseers and pateroles. They was hired and paid a little salary jus' like the police is now. If we didn't have killing and murderin', there wouldn't be no need for the police. The scoundrel who robs and kills folks ought to be highly prosecuted.
"I reckon I was along eight or nine years old when freedom came. My oldest brother was twelve, and I was next to him. I must have been eight or nine—or maybe ten.
"My occupation since freedom has been farming and doing a little job work—anything I could git. Work by the day for mechanic and one thing and another. I know nothin' about no trade 'ceptin' what I have picked up. Never took no contracts 'ceptin' for building a fence or somethin' small like that. Mechanic's work I suppose calls for license."
