The '13th Mass' reported 98 men captured. The loss was so great in General John C. Robinson's 2nd Division it caused Colonel Charles Wainwright, Chief of First Corps artillery to muse; “All the regiments look very small & some of them have disappeared altogether; three of the 2d Division were captured entire.”1 Facing a difficult retreat, General Robert E. Lee tried to parole the prisoners on the battle-field to alleviate the difficulty of guarding and feeding so many men in addition to his own troops. It is estimated that about 1,500 Yankees accepted the parole, though their own officers told them that the parole was 'illegal' and would not be honored by the authorities in Washington. A shaky agreement for the exchange of prisoners had been accepted on July 22, 1862 by a cartel of representatives from both sides, chosen to negotiate the terms. On May 25, 1863, General-in-Chief Henry Halleck ordered the exchanges stopped because of a disagreement with Jeff Davis about the treatment of captured Negro troops. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton re-enforced this understanding to the Federal Army, with General Orders No. 207, July 3rd 1863, “declaring that all such paroles were in violation of general orders, and therefore null and void; declaring further that any soldier accepting such parole would be returned to duty and punished for disobedience of orders.” 2 Pictured, Secretary of War Edwin W. Stanton. The Federal soldiers captured at Gettysburg were offered a battle-field parole by the Confederates. The Union officers present advised the captives not to take the parole; that it was not legitimate and it would not be recognized by the government. Still, according to Private Bourne Spooner, about one half the prisoners corralled with him, took it, —which proved to be lucky for them! It is guessed that of the estimated total of 5,000 Federal captives, about 1,500 dis-obeyed the recommendation of their officers and accepted the parole. These soldiers started off July 4th under a Confederate guard, and marched to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, then onto West Chester, where a temporary parole camp, Camp Elder, awaited them. After a time spent in camp, many of the Massachusetts boys made their way home from here, some by hook or crook, and others by waiting several weeks and following orders. By accepting the parole these men gained an unexpected respite from the war via an improvised furlough. The officers and others that obeyed orders and refused the battle-field parole endured a wretched two week forced march to Staunton, Virginia, with little or nothing to eat. The leg of the journey from Williamsport to Staunton, was succinctly described by Captain William Wilkins, 1st West Virginia Cavalry who joined the column of prisoners July 5 at Hagerstown. “Our march from Williamsport to Staunton comprised the whole length of the Shenandoah valley, which is the best watered region I have ever traveled in; yet we suffered horribly for water. I saw the men, 8 or 10 at once, after having been nearly famished for water, break from the ranks to procure a drink from a spring or a pump by the edge of the road, and, in every case, they were immediately driven back at the point of the bayonet, without having time to get a drop. It was pitiable, to see them go along, cups in hand, ready to dip and drink from every little mud-puddle or stagnant pool that came within reach; and this, too, in one of the best watered countries in the world... “And how did you stand it?' That question was asked me more than one-hundred times on the road. I answered that nothing kept me up but the resolution that I had formed — never to give up till I fell dead in my tracks — This I told our men, together with the strong and unconquerable desire I had to get back and fight them (the rebs) again which kept me up, but it was by the hardest that I got through several times I reeled and staggered like a drunken man; my head became dizzy, my sight failed me; I almost sunk to the earth — Once I caught hold of my comrade, and steadied myself for a few minutes, and then traveled on again, staggering at every step till a halt was ordered. Toward the last of the tramp, I suffered very much with my feet, for not being used to walking any in the last two years they soon became so blistered that I could not wear my boots and had to take it barefooted. Being on a McAdamized pike, I soon became badly crippled. My feet took to swelling and every step I took pained me to the very heart — but I must hurry along.”3 At Staunton the prisoners, estimated to be about 3,500 - 4,000 in number, camped in a hot treeless field overlooking the railroad depot south of town, exposed to the elements, where they waited for rickety rail cars to carry them 136 miles to Richmond. The trains could only carry about 700 men at a time, and exhausted soldiers often had to push and fight their way into line in order to get a chance at boarding the cars. Believing they would be exchanged and released from captivity the sooner they got to Richmond, many were willing to to do so. It took more than nineteen days, between July 19 and August 6, to clear the prisoners out of Staunton via the railroad. In Richmond their fates varied. Many officers were confined at Libby Prison, a large dark tobacco warehouse along a canal beside the James River. Others were transferred to prisons in the deep south to alleviate the over-crowded prisons in Richmond. Enlisted men were sent to Belle Isle, a 6-7 acre Island in the James River, with 2-3 acres set aside as a prison camp. There is plenty of primary source material from the '13th Mass' on this page. The stories are divided into two sections, those who accepted the parole and those who did not. Privates Bourne Spooner, William A. Newhall, and Sergeant Warren Freeman, took the parole. Their letters and memoirs begin this page. A short bit about Camp Elder, the parole camp in West Chester, Pennsylvania that was their destination, is included in this part of the narrative. Sergeants George Henry Hill, John Boudwin and Lieutenant Morton Tower did not take the parole and were marched south. They also recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and memoirs which are presented on this page. In between these stories from the regiment is a rare description of the railroad trip from Staunton to Richmond, as reported by William E. Warren of the 17th Connecticut Infantry. Eleven other ‘13th Mass’ comrades are specifically mentioned in these narratives, which helps to add a bit of detail to their military records. Information about these soldiers is listed in Part III; Soldiers' Biographies, at the bottom of this page. Private Bourne Spooner mentions, Alfred M. Burton. Sergeant Warren H. Freeman mentions Edgar C. Reed. Sergeant George Henry Hill mentions, Lieutenant Samuel E. Cary, Lieutenant David Whiston, Corporal John B. Curtis, and Private Henry W. Metcalf. Sergeant John Boudwin mentions Corporals Albert E. Morse and Edward A. Boyd, and Privates John C. Clark, Fred D. Locke, and Charles Christopher MacGraw. The experiences of these men is as varied as their number. The stories of officers Cary & Whiston lead the biographies from this group, as they lingered the longest in Southern prisons. Notes 1.

Return to Table of Contents Memoirs of Private Bourne Spooner, Company D Private Spooner leaves a most entertaining account of his post-battle experiences. While traveling through New York on board a steamer, he references the bloody New York Draft Riots that were then in progress. More about this will be forthcoming on a future page of this website. This manuscript was shared with me by Mr. Will Glenn, a descendant of Private Spooner. “In The Ranks” Transcribed by Maxine Glenn. Next day [July 4th] we were up at betimes and en route for Carlisle in the Cumberland Valley. Our escort was a squad of four or five rebel cavalrymen under the lead of sergeant who carried a flag of truce, i.e., a white handkerchief tied to a stick. We streamed along the road without any attempt at the formation of a column, and our rebel escort had great difficulty in keeping many of the men from pushing forward in advance of the main body. They time and again threatened to shoot, especially at halts, when some of the more irrepressible spirits persisted in streaming on in advance of them. Indeed, it was a novel and strange march to all of us - proceeding in a free and easy manner with no other restriction than in not pushing ahead of the guards. “Give us a gun to carry,” said some of them, “and ’twill seem more natural.” As we proceeded through this rich and fertile region, the loyal people, especially womankind, furnished us with food from their doors as we passed. Huge slices of bread and “apple butter” (Shaker applesauce) were the principal articles of food. After our hard soldier fare and fasting this food was perfectly delicious and was eaten with great voracity. Another thing to be remembered was that this day was our great national anniversary, the Fourth of July. Towards noon, I believe, it began to rain, and thereafter it increased in force and in the middle of the afternoon came down in drenching sheets. But the rain was nothing to us. We were a jolly crowd, traveling pretty much upon our own hook, and the condition of the elements in nowise affected us. As we neared Carlisle we passed through some very picturesque defiles in the mountains. During the latter part of our journey we met considerable bodies of the Pennsylvania militia, moving to the front. Their new uniforms, if nothing else, would distinguish them from the regular volunteers; but their great discomfort in consequence of the rain made them the subject of many jocose remarks. In passing one of the mountain gorges, the effect of its picuturesqueness was much heightened by a sharp thunderstorm which prevailed at the time. We reached Carlisle before dark and spent some time in roaming about the city. Several of the houses bore the marks of shells, which had been thrown into the city by a rebel force under Fitz Hugh Lee before it surrendered. We were quartered that night in empty wash-houses, etc., and the next day, I believe, furnished with transportation up to Harrisburg and thence on eastward to Westchester where we were formed into a parole camp. Our train was composed of baggage cars, and a portion of us, I among the rest, rode on top. We reached Westchester towards night and were first enclosed in an open space within the limits of the village surrounded by a board fence. The next day we were removed to a field where there was a stream of water and some shade trees running through it for our camp. A small force of militia were set guard over the camp and whom the boys were disposed to treat with contempt. Just how many days I spent at this place I don’t know, but I don’t think it could have been over two. I believe I enjoyed the luxury of a bath in the stream, and I also remember visiting a cherry tree nearby and filling myself with its now ripe and luscious fruit - a thing we had hardly tasted of for two years. About noon four of us belonging the 13th concluded we would cut camp and steer for home as many of the men had already done. We acted at once upon the suggestion. A little before one o’clock we managed to elude the guards, and after proceeding a mile or so from camp on the north side we sat down by the roadside to consult our future course. Many of those who left the camp hired themselves out as harvest hands, as the fields of that region were now yellow with the ripened grain. We concluded it was best for us to avoid Philadelphia (about twenty-five miles to the east) and other large cities because we were technically deserters, and provost marshals and guards were always on the watch at these places for absentees from the army. We therefore concluded to strike diagonally across the country in the direction New York. Our united funds did not exceed a few dollars, and of course only our legs could be relied upon for getting to our distant homes. Before we started, however, an organ grinder happened to come along, and we had him play us a few tunes for diversion. Then we proceeded on our tramp, and before we turned in for the night we had traversed over twenty miles. At last, long after dark, we clambered into the haymow of an old barn by the side of the road where we found a comfortable night’s rest. About daylight the owner of the barn came round to do his chores, when one of the boys slid down from the mow to make his acquaintance. This so startled the man that he immediately “streaked” for the house. After enjoying a little laugh over this event we began our second day’s journey. Without gun, knapsack, haversack or any of our usual impediments we made excellent progress with the greatest of ease. We were not by any means deserters, in spirit or in fact. We retained our blue uniforms, when we easily might have substituted a citizen’s dress, and passed openly along the road by daylight. In passing through a place where some quarrymen were engaged, I believe in getting out iron ore, one of the number treated us to a glass of ….. (The last page of the narrative has been damaged. The following are the portions that are still legible.) We were fortunate in finding a …[steamer?]…… bound for Stamford, Connecticut, whose skipper was as ….. and whole souled a tar as ever breathed, whose name I think was Johnson. We did not get underway, I think, until afternoon. At this time the great anti-draft riots were in progress in New York. The captain cautioned us to keep below the rail, as gangs of roughs were constantly cruising about in boats, eager to wreak their vengeance upon any “boys in blue” whom they might by chance discover. We lay that night in the stream beyond the Battery. The city from the water front looked dark and sombre, few lights were to be seen, the rioters at this time having the lower wards of the city pretty much at their mercy, though their brief reign of blood was nearly at an end. An ominous silence seemed to hang over all. However, we were not molested and the next day had a most pleasant sail along the East River, through Hell Gate, and down the Sound. The captain was genial and full of anecdotes and instead of taking the fare we had bargained to pay gave us a dollar himself. It was bright and balmy Sunday when we entered Stamford Harbor….. After getting ashore we …. I wandered ….. ground depot, and when the night train ….. came along I got aboard. I did not purchase a …… ticket before getting into the cars, as I had not money enough to take me home and trusted to luck in getting over the road; and, as good luck would have it, I happened to sit right down in the seat with my fellow prisoner, Burton, who had left the parole camp only the day before and had come right through direct via Philadelphia and New York, braving the provost marshals, who, however, did not molest him. He loaned me a half dollar, which, with the money I possessed, came within twelve cents I think of the requisite fare, and the conductor, after hesitating a moment, passed me through to Boston. I walked out to Dorchester and caused a genuine surprise to the folks there. I duly reported myself at the state House, and was able to secure a very pleasant furlough, all in consequence of my capture at Gettysburg. Return to Top of Page Letters of Warren Freeman & William Newhall; Parole Camp, West Chester, PA Letter of Corporal Warren Freeman, July 7th, 1863 For the first time since before the battle of Gettysburg, Sergeant Warren Freeman was able to write a letter home, from the Parole Camp in West Chester. These letters are from the book, “Letters From Two Brothers Serving In The War For The Union,” Cambridge, 1871. Letter of Private William A. Newhall, July 8, 1863 Private Newhall, of Company F, also wrote home to family from the parole camp to let them know he was alive and well after the battle of Gettysburg. At the end of his letter he mentions George Atkinson's death. Charles Roundy who was also in Company F, identified 'Greasy Cook' Atkinson as the hero of the story, 'General Hartsuff and the Baked Beans' which he included in his memoirs. You can read the story as told by historian Charles E. Davis, Jr. on the website here. William A. Newhall survived the war. He mustered out of the '13th Mass' on August 1, 1864 with the rank of corporal, Company F. He settled in Hudson, Mass. This is the only letter transcription I have from him. This transcription of Newhall's letter [done by someone else] at the end of page 5 said “Captain Pierce is wounded in the knee.” I changed this to “Captain Palmer.” I do not have a copy of the hand-written letter so this is an informed guess on my part. Private Newhall was in Company F, from Marlboro, and would have known Captain Palmer, who organized Company I, in the same town. Captain Palmer was badly wounded in the knee at Gettysburg. Captain Elliot C. Pierce of Company H, was attached to the First Corps Ambulance train. As far as I know he was not wounded at Gettysburg and he is not listed in Lt.-Col. Batchelder's report of officers present at the battle. According to that list, I think Sam E. Cary was the ranking officer of Co. F at the battle. - B.F., webmaster, 2/23/2017. The Site of Parole Camp Today Private Spooner and his friends were technically deserters, when they left the parole camp and headed home. But they fared far better than many of the soldiers, like Warren Freeman, who obeyed orders and stayed in the Parole Camp. These soldiers lingered for weeks waiting for the government to act, - to figure out how to deal with this 'illegal parole,' and in the course of time, some of the men took sick and died. Extended time spent in any confined place was never healthy during the Civil War. In 2013, a state historic marker was dedicated to commemorate the site of the Parole Camp in Westtown, Pa. near where the camp was located. The new historical marker commemorating the camp states that more than 2,000 soldiers were held here. Warren Freeman wrote, “We have moved camp since I wrote you last; we are now about a mile and a half from the town, on the West Chester and Philadelphia Railway; the cars run about as often as they do at West Cambridge, and I can lay in my tent and see them pass by – the prospect is quite pleasant.” The new marker is located near the corner of Oakburne Road and Trellis Lane in Westtown. Google maps shows the railroad runs right by the location. This photo was taken by Ginger Rae Dunbar for the West Chester Daily Local News. Click the image to view larger. Letter of Warren Freeman, July 12, 1863 Image of the general area where Camp Elder was located. Letter of Warren Freeman, July 17, 1863 Some of the boys took the parole offered and some didn't. The parole was offered to the prisoners on more than one occasion, as the large bodies of men were consolidated on the battle-field. It is interesting that Warren states in this letter that of the squad of about 600 men corralled with him on July 2nd, all of them accepted the parole. When the parole was again offered the next day after the prisoners had been consolidated, George Hill says, “We were now offered a parole but our Officers declined to accept it and so did 35 of us, the rest did take it, with what result I have not yet learned.” Parole Camp, West Chester, Pa., July 17, 1863 Dear Father, - I acknowledge the receipt of two letters from home, also one from Uncle Washington, and one from Eugene. For these favors you will please accept a soldier’s thanks. In reply to your queries about my treatment by the rebels, I would say that they did not take my watch nor money, - nothing, except, of course, my rifle and equipments; neither did they laugh and jeer at us, as I have seen our men do to them under similar circumstances. After our capture we were marched back on the pike road about two miles, and halted at the side of the road near one of the wagon trains, the Eleventh South Carolina Regiment, which was the guard, doing duty over us. We stayed there that night; the next day they took our names. There were between five and six hundred in our squad, when we were paroled after this manner: we were drawn up in line by states, and asked if we were willing to take the parole that we would not take up arms against the confederate government until we were fairly and legally exchanged; the answering to our names as they were called, is considered the same as an oath; all of our squad took the parole. On Friday, July 3d, we were marched down toward the front of the rebel army. Here we found another squad of prisoners, about three times as large as ours. Part of these men took the parole and part would not. We halted quite near the rebel line of battle. The artillery fight was then in full blast; we could see the shells burst very plain; some of the shells from our side burst almost over our heads. Have you seen the rebel description of the battle? I will quote a few lines which describe the fight at about the time I speak of: “At twelve o’clock the signal gun was fired and the cannonading commenced. The fire of our guns was concentrated upon the federal line on the heights, stormed on the day before by Wright’s Brigade. Our fire drew a most terrific one from the federal batteries, posted along the heights from a point near Cemetery Hill to the point in their line opposite to the position of Wilcox. I have never yet heard such tremendous artillery firing. The enemy must have had 100 guns, which, in addition to our 115, made the air hideous with most discordant noise. The very earth shook beneath our feet, and the hills and rocks seemed to reel like a drunken man. For an hour and a half this most terrific fire was continued, during which time the shrieking of shells, the crash of falling timber, the fragments of rocks flying through the air, shattered from the cliffs by solid shot, the heavy mutterings from the valley between the opposing armies, the splash of bursting shrapnel, and the fierce neighing of wounded artillery horses, made a picture terribly grand and sublime, but which my pen utterly fails to describe.” The above is from the “Richmond Enquirer’s” war correspondent, and I can testify to its truthfulness. Toward sunset those of us that were paroled were marched off the field toward Carlisle; there were about 1,400 of us. I did not know the rebels were beaten till I reached Harrisburg and read the account of their defeat in the papers. July 26. – An order has just been issued, saying that our parole was good for nothing, and that as soon as we were armed and equipped we must join our respective regiments again without being exchanged. Now I don’t understand about this. I think there will be serious trouble if we should be taken again by the rebels, for they may take a notion to hang us for so gross a violation of our parole. But I will not borrow any trouble till I understand better about it. I have recently received photographs of mother, Eugene, Susie, George Henry, and Albert Gould. Now, although a soldier, still I will confess to a little weakness, and admit that I have looked with undimmed eyes upon all the horrors of many battle-fields, with my brave comrades torn and bleeding on every side, without experiencing those tender emotions which the little cards never fail to produce. Farewell. Warren. Letter of Warren Freeman, July 26, 1863 Towards the end of July, the prisoners in parole camp were still awaiting orders. Warren tells his father about the confusion of affairs. Parole Camp, West Chester, Pa., July 26, 1863 Dear Father, - I got my box of nice things in good order, and only three days from West Cambridge. The shirts and draweres came in good time, for I am quite destitute of those things. The condensed milk I will keep till I go back to the regiment, as I can buy milk here for five cents a canteen full, or three cents a quart. We draw soft bread now, and are living well. We have not got our new uniforms yet, but expect them every day; I will then go into the town and get a picture taken. I have not heard anything more about our parole not being valid or our being sent to the regiment; it may all blow over yet, so I shall not worry about it. The guard that do duty over us are raw Pennsylvania militia, and seem disposed to grant us, not only a full run of the camp, but the largest degree of liberty. Consequently, some of the men have gone home, others work for the farmers in the neighborhood at haying, etc. Some of our regiment talk of stepping out some day and going to Boston and reporting to General Schouler* and our Colonel Leonard for duty. They must look upon such an act as a very grave matter, but I think they would not arrest us for desertion. But perhaps they will say: “Well boys, you have done wrong in coming away from camp without a furlough from the proper officer. We must report you to the government, but will give them the facts, and I recommend that your offense be looked upon in a favorable light,” etc. Colonel Leonard was not severely wounded, and I suppose he will return to his command in a few weeks. We could report to him occasionally, and return with him, etc. Well, I don't know what will come of it, but if you do not hear from me soon you may think there is something in the wind. From your affectionate son, Warren. Adjutant-General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, William Schouler It seems Warren and others may have traveled to Boston as he contemplates doing here, for his next letter home is dated 7 weeks later, September 13th, when he had finally re-joined the regiment at Rappahannock Station. That letter describes his trip to the front via New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, accompanied by Colonel Leonard. Return to Table of Contents SOME ESCAPED ! Tales from the 97th & 94th NY On the march over South Mountain, many Union prisoners managed to escape from their Confederate guards. One such officer was Colonel Charles Wheelock (pictured) of the 97th New York, Baxter's Brigade. He was age 50. Colonel Charles Wainwright, Chief of First Corps Artillery, noted the escape with a humorous comment in his journal. “July 9th. - ...A great many of the prisoners that were captured from us are escaping; I hear of several officers arriving every day. Even old Colonel Wheelock got off though he is as big & old as Jack Falstaff; the old fellow showed a good pluck in running.” Another officer who made note of the event is Chaplain John V. Ferguson, 97th NY Vols, whose letter is quoted in part below. The letter of another escaped soldier from the 94th N.Y. regiment, Lieutenant R. N. Joy, was printed in an unknown home town Newspaper. This letter was found among the collection of digital newspaper clippings posted at the New York Military Museum. (https://dmna.ny.gov) Return to Top of Page Letter of George Henry Hill, August 4, 1863 George Henry Hill was one of the prisoners who obeyed Union officers' advice, and refused the battle-field parole offered by the Confederates. In the letter to his father dated August 4th, he does an exceptional job describing the exhausting forced march from the fields around Gettysburg to Staunton, Virginia. He names several officers and comrades in this letter who shared some of his experiences. They are Lieutenant Morton Tower, Lieutenant Samuel E. Cary, Lieutenant David Whiston, and Private Henry W. Metcalf. I believe, after checking the regimental roster and other sources, that the 'John' he mentions in his letters is Corporal John B. Curtis, Company B. Curtis's service record states : “Was taken prisoner at the battle of Gettysburg, carried to Richmond and Belle Island, and held a prisoner four weeks. Paroled and remained in camp at Annapolis, Md., till duly exchanged; rejoined his Regiment at the front in February following.” Lieutenant Tower's memoirs are on this page in a section of their own. Lieutenant Cary's and Lieutenant Whiston's experiences are outlined with the others, including Curtis, at the bottom of this web page. Alfred Waud sketched the portion of Belle Island where prisoners were kept. There are several descriptions of Belle Island on this page. Private Roland E. Bowen, who was imprisoned there between August 8 - December 27, 1863, described in great detail what life was like at the camp in letters home. “Belle Island is situated in the James River just above the City of Richmond, its extreme lower end being opposite the famous Tredegar Iron Works. It is said to be about a mile in length and about a half mile in breadth, some parts of it are quite elevated. The main channel runs on the north or Richmond side and is quite rapid. This Island furnishes a fine water power station, water being brought down from its upper end in an aqueduct and running an extensive nail manufactory. The Island is connected with the mainland on the South or Manchester side by a R.R. Bridge wich runs to the nail works, considerable other business is carried on also. “At the lower end of the Island there is a level spot of ground, say 6 or 7 acres in area, and of a very sandy nature, and about 8 or 10 feet above the river. On this piece of ground there is about 3 acres of land enclosed by a ditch and a bank, the ditch being about 2 feet deep and 4 feet wide, the bank being 4 feet high, the ditch was formerly on the outside but has recently been changed to the inside. There are two entrances or gates, the main gate being on the N.E. Side wich leads out to Headquarters, Cook House, Hospital. The gate on the S.E. side leading down to the river.” Letter of George Henry Hill, August 4, 1863 Sergeant Hill was lucky in getting away from Belle Island so quickly. His comrade Sergeant John Boudwin, who was still lingering at Staunton, waiting for transport to Richmond, was imprisoned 5 times longer than Hill and his friends. More detail regarding his luck leaving prison so early is found in an article printed in the National Tribune, October 23, 1902, by Captain R. K. Beecham of the 2nd Wisconsin. A few relevant excerpts are presented here. “On or about Aug. 5 an order came to the prison authorities to exchange or parole several hundred prisoners. First, all the sick were selected, without regard to priority, which amounted to about half the quota. “...After the sick had been selected the remainder of the quota was filled in the order of priority. The oldest prisoners were called until all were taken, and there remained only the Winchester and Gettysburg prisoners. The quota lacked then 100 or more of being full. The Winchester prisoners were the next in priority, but the rolls had been mislaid, and the rolls of the Gettysburg prisoners were substituted. “This even caused an excitement that is easier imagined than described. It was like a death-knell to the hopes of the Winchester men, but it gave a new and unlooked-for hope to every man from Gettysburg. After getting my tent-mate through the gate I had gone back to my desolate den with no expectation of being exchanged on that day, but the moment I heard the call for the Gettysburg prisoners I joined the excited crowd and watched the result, with my heart beating like a trip-hammer. We had been enrolled by regiments, but we knew nothing of the priority on the rolls of our organizations. Usually there were only a few in each regiment, and we watched anxiously for the name of the next on the rolls. “...Rapidly the names are read off by the clerk, to which fortunate one responds as he runs through the gate. The quota is almost filled; there are only a few more names to be drawn. The 2d Wis. is called. How that name thrills the very marrow of my bones, for my name is among the number on that short list. Then follows a moment of suspense that no living being who has not been placed in a like situation can imagine, a few seconds of time of almost endless duration. My heart stands still in an agony of hope and dread. Will the quota hold out? Will my name ever be reached? Live a thousand years, I cannot experience another such moment. At last the spell is broken, my name is called, then my heart gives a great rebound, and I stepped out from under the Shadow of Death.” Return To Table of Contents The March to Staunton; Sgt. John Boudwin's Experiences George Henry Hill gives a good account of the Union prisoners’ march to Staunton, VA, nearly 200 miles from Gettysburg. The diary of Sergeant John Boudwin provides another account. which adds some detail left out of Hill’s letter. Thirteenth Mass comrades mentioned in the diary are, Ed Boyd, John C. Clark, Fred D. Locke, Charles ‘Chris’ Magraw, and Charles B. Morse. The March to Staunton Hunger and fatigue are the defining words for the forced march of Union prisoners to Staunton, Virginia, nearly 200 miles distant from Gettysburg. Heavy afternoon rain provided the proper emotional backdrop for the dreary trudge 5 miles further from town which kicked things off on July 4th. A little bit of flour and beef was issued and cooked up at midnight for the next day’s 11 mile hike over South Mountain to Monterey Springs. The road was clogged with wagons and the tedious halting march didn’t cease until 11 p.m. The boys caught a glimpse of the Confederate commander passing by, ‘on our way over the mountain General Lee passed us. Also General Picket & Brother, fine looking men both of them.’ Hunger drove Sgt. Boudwin to slip outside the Confederate Guards in the dark to beg something to eat from members of the Washington Artillery camped nearby. They genially obliged him with some bread. The prisoners received another scanty ration of flour and beef at 7 a.m. July 6, but they had to march 8 miles down the mountain before they could cook it. The journey to Williamsport resumed at 7 p.m. At midnight the party stopped for a one hour rest. Sgt. Boudwin again ‘slipped by the Guard and got in to a garden and got some potatoes.- Dug them up with my hands.’ They were on the move again at 1 a.m., and stumbled along for another 7 hours through the rainy night, before they arrived ‘very sleepy’ at Hagerstown. This was the old stomping ground of the ‘13th Mass’ in the heady days of ’61. Not surprisingly, members of the regiment ‘saw several of our old friends who used to visit our camp at Williamsport.’ John Boudwin continues, ‘Marched within ½ mile of Williamsport and turned in to a cow pasture. On the Road passed several of our dead laying stripped of their clothing. There was a large cavalry fight here the evening before.’ George Hill said they arrived at Williamsport at 11 a.m. on Tuesday July 7. Crossing the Potomac At Williamsport, the prisoners waited 3 days to cross the Potomac River. A ration of flour and beef was issued on Wednesday. On Thursday, ‘the Rebels and our boys are exchangeing for Bread, Knifes, Pocket Books, Combs, Paper &c. for a small pancake we had to pay 1 & 2 dollars for the same. Last evening the Ladies of Williamsport, Md. sent us some bread by one of the Rebel officers and he brought it to camp and sold it to us for 4 dollars a loaf. At 2 p.m. …marched to the Town and the boats – that carry us across – broke loose and we have to march back to our old place again. While down in the town saw several of our old friends and had a talk with them, also several of the young ladies in the town came and brought us bread and cake which Johnnie Rebel did not like and they sent them away, but the girls stood their ground and would not go - gave them letters to Wife and Mother. Got back to our old camp and at dark some cattle strayed in side of our lines & hunger drove us to kill them and it was done with out much ceremony. I got quite a piece and gave it to my boys & turned in for the night feeling very much in need of some rest. Bought some bread and paid $1 a loaf.’ The rest he needed was cut short at 3 a.m. by an order to ‘fall in’ and march to the river. It was time to cross. Sgt. Boudwin did not describe the crossing only to say he cooked breakfast by the river bank and didn’t get on the road to Martinsburg until noon. One soldier estimated about 3,000 prisoners were ferried across the river in an old ferry boat, about 200 men at a time. From the south side of the Potomac the party started at noon for Martinsburg, about 13 miles distant. The day was hot, ‘several [of the men] gave out from the effects of the heat.’ They arrived at Martinsburg and discovered many citizens were still loyal to the Union. (It was the home town of 13th Mass drummers Sam and Isaac Webster). John Boudwin wrote, ‘going through the town several of the men and women threw bread into the ranks & the guard stopped them and would not let them speak to us and called them every thing but respectable people. At night the guards laid in line of battle & had 3 pieces of artillery pointed at our camp in case of an outbreak as the men were hungry and were told that we would get rations when we got to Martinsburg but there was none to be found…we have been 48 hours without food.’ In the morning the hungry prisoners were pushed forward at the point of bayonets for another 8 miles before they got any food. Rations of bread and beef were issued, ‘the bread was cooked by the women of Martinsburg. We were a happy set when we got the bread as we had been 68 hours without anything to eat. ...marched again at 5 and over one of the worst roads that man ever walked on – arrived within 7 ½ miles of Winchester at 12 midnight. Completely used up – Woke up several times in the night.’ This is the night George Henry Hill had the vivid dream about food, described in the letter to his father, above. Several woment lined the streets of Winchester to watch the prisoners pass through. Sgt. Boudwin recognized several of them from their previous stay at Winchester in 1862. The column was halted for the day and night on the far side of town and two days rations of beef and flour were issued to the prisoners. John sold his watch for $40 to a Confederate Calvary man. It was here Richmond newspapers informed the captives that Vicksburg was taken on the 4th of July. While halted here, another two hundred captives from Milroy’s command, mostly sick and wounded, joined the column. The day’s short march and supply of food caused Sgt. Boudwin to sleep well that night, --regardless of the rain. At least they still had their tents. That would change soon. Staunton was still 100 miles distant, and the prisoners, estimated to be 3,500 in number, were pushed on toward their destination like cattle, through rain and mud and water, averaging 18 miles a day. Monday, July 13 came in wet with a heavy downpour, and in consequence, at Newtown it took 4 hours for everyone to wade waste deep through a flooded creek. The column pressed on. Sgt. Boudwin wrote, ‘marched within 2 miles of Strasburg and camped for the night feeling tired – hungry and used up. My clothes all wet and nothing dry to sleep on I had an uncomfortable nights rest. Rained hard during the night.’ Tuesday July 14, came in clear, but the tired prisoners in wet clothes were driven 23 ½ footsore miles ! Some relief was had the next day, when more rations of beef, bacon, and flour were issued at 10 a.m. but only after the usual 3 hour morning march. Distance covered this day was just about 13 miles and for the first time, plenty of good water was found in the abundant springs surrounding the village of New Market, where the column camped for the night. At Harrisonburg on Thursday, -- ‘going through the town some of the men went to get some water out of one of the buckets – which was on the sidewalk and the woman turned the bucket over and told him he should not have a drop as it was for the Confederate soldiers and not you Nasty Yankees.’ Distance marched; 18 miles. At night Sgt. Boudwin got a touch of the chills. Small wonder. Friday, the last full days march was uneventful other than the long 18 ½ miles covered. Rations of bread and bacon issued. Officers were brought into Strasburg, 4 ½ miles further on. Waiting for a train; July 19 – August 4. Early the next morning the prisoners were marched through the city of Staunton and turned into a large treeless field on a hill overlooking the depot at the south end of town. They were searched and everything of use or desired by the Confederate officers was taken away. Tents and rubber blankets would be sorely missed. In defiance to the Rebels, Corporal Albert E. Morse [pictured, above] and some of the boys cut up their blankets. Sgt. Boudwin wrote, ‘Those who were seen doing so were bucked and gagged. Corporal Morse of Company B of our Regiment was one of the victims.’ The hands and feet of the victims were tied with arms passed over their drawn up knees, and a rod inserted between the arms and the back of the knee. Some seven hundred of the prisoners were soon after loaded onto rickety railroad cars and started for Richmond. These proved to be lucky men, the idea being that since they were all going to be paroled, the sooner they arrived at Richmond the sooner they might be exchanged, --and sent back to Union lines. Those left behind in Staunton slept cold at night without their tents. Sunday morning, another group of prisoners left on the cars for Richmond. There was nothing to do in the field at Staunton but broil in the sun and mark time. Some local enterprising women from the town entered the camp on Monday with bread and pies to sell to the captured Yankees - at exorbitant prices, in general, double the going rate. They returned the next day to peddle their wares but the guard told them not to overcharge the prisoners. Prices dropped in half accordingly. After 3 days anxiously sitting around, all were ready to start for Richmond. This was the Tuesday that George Hill, John B. Curtis and 4 others stood in the sun for 3 hours and ‘by crowding and punching’ succeeded in getting onto the cars bound for Richmond. They went on their way rejoicing. Sgt. Boudwin ‘tried hard to go but did not get the chance.’ This proved very unlucky for him and his companions. They would uneasily wait in camp another two weeks for their turn. Time dragged on. Afternoon rain showers were frequent, sometimes heavy. This caused consecutive sleepless nights in wet clothes on damp ground. Other days came in hot. The captives wilted in the sun. Rations were scanty and hunger was constant. On July 31st, perhaps to break the monotony, the soldiers were marched down the hill and searched. Any money found was confiscated. John Boudwin and his friend Ed Boyd were robbed of $27.00 and $17.50 respectively. Two weeks of exposure naturally made many men sick, without doctors or medicine to ease their symptoms. The post surgeon finally visited camp and doled out badly needed medicine on August 3rd. The next morning at 10 a.m. Sgt. Boudwin with his friends, ‘left Staunton for Richmond on freight cars 70 of them in a car and packed in any way.’ The rickety train ride is described in detail below, but Sgt. Boudwin did note passing through the Blue Ridge tunnel at Rockfish Gap, and passing through several small towns en-route. He admired the splendid scenery notwithstanding the circumstances. But the ride was still agonizingly slow. By contrast, George Henry Hill and his friends through much luck, were at this date comfortably safe behind Union lines at Annapolis. To be continued. Return to Table of Contents The Train Trip from Staunton to Richmond It was announced that 700 men would be transported to Richmond & the 1st that got in line would go first so of course there was a scattering, jamming, & a great deal of swearing as the line was forming. 8 of our company succeeded in getting in the line & thus was marched down to the depot & embarked on part platform & part box cars. Rickety old things they were too as the box car I was in had no roof on, only the frame & I remember while setting upon the frame that it swayed, back & forth sideways, so that it frightened me & I was expecting every moment to be dumped out by the side of the road & left there. Pictured is the engine, 'Westward Ho' purchased by the Virginia Central Railroad in 1857. The inside of the car was so full there was not standing room. The rideing was very slow as the cars being so poor, they would not admit of fast travel, besides the road bed being in very poor condition. There was also a halt every little while. The scenery however was truly a remarkable feature, especially after passing beyond the Blue Ridge. The road skirted the summit of a high ridge, giving a splendid view of the valley beneath & distant mountains. It was very tedious rideing nevertheless. Night brought no relief as it was so crowded as to render sleep of any account out of the question & so the day wore away into the night while we went jogging on to Richmond. We left Staunton at just 11 A.M., the distance to Richmond being 136 miles. The first station we arrived at was Fishersville, 129 [miles] to Richmond. The second station was Wanesborough, 124 miles to Richmond. About halfway between Fishersville & Wanesborough we stopped about ½ hour, going up grade. They burn chestnut & oak wood. Passed through 4 tunnels between 2 stations. First tunnel we were 7 minutes passing through it. I timed it by my watch. We were running lively too. After we got through I had to look almost strait up in the air to see the top of the mountain. Pictured is the north face of the Blue Ridge Tunnel, completed in 1858. It ran through Rockfish Gap 4,237 feet long, the longest in the U.S. at the time of its completion. It was engineered by Claudius Crozet. [Wikipedia] The third station was Meashum River, 115 miles to Richmond. Passed a sign board marked “Blairs Park 24 ½ miles.” There were 2 trains on the side track at this station, one a passenger train just arrived, loaded mostly with soldiers. The name of the R.R. is Virginia Central. The name of the passenger train engine was Hero, the name of the other engine was C.S.C. Name [of the] fourth station Ivy. Fifth station Charlottsville, quite a place. Sixth station Shadwell. Here was a brick building & several wooden buildings with the insides all torn out. At this station we run on the side track & waited about one hour for another train. Between this station & the next, we stopped to get wood. At 5 P.M. we were just 90 miles from Richmond. Seventh station not known. 8th station, Lindsays, did not stop here. 9th station, Gordonsville, another road branched off here & went to Culpepper. Several barracks & tents were here put up around & near the depot & filled with wounded. Reached here about dark & stayed about 1 hour for the officers to get their supper, so it was reported. We then went on stopping at the different stations along the road till we arrived at Richmond. I bought 2 blackberry pies for $1.00 & sold one to R.G. Seymore for $1.00. They were very thin, hardly more than the top & bottom crust & hardly berrys enough to color the crust. Pretty poor things but I was very hungry & I bought the first thing I could get hold of. The 'Westward Ho' is pictured at Winifrede Junction, WV; 1875. The photograph resides at the West Virginia Regional History Center. I accessed it at the website West Virginia and North Carolina Rails; by Dan Robie; [http://wvncrails.weebly.com/winifrede-big-eagle-railroad.html]. Return to Top of Page Life at Belle Isle Prison Belle Isle Prison, August 5 – September 21 The prisoner train arrived at Richmond in the dark, wee-hours of the morning August 5th. The prisoners had to wait for daylight to disembark. Citizens of Richmond turned out at the depot ‘to see the Yankees’ who were marched at 9 a.m. to a tobacco warehouse and searched. Canteens, haversacks, and any valuables found on their person were taken away. Next they marched to Belle Isle. They signed parole papers and entered the prison area at dark. A good description of Belle Isle is provided by Captain R. K. Beecham, 2d Wisconsin Infantry.1 “The island seemed well shaded with trees and fair to look upon, but the soil was a bed of sand and the island was low and level. The prison pen was adjacent to the river, and comprised three or four acres of ground surrounded by a wide, deep ditch and an embankment, within which enclosure there was neither tree, nor shrub, nor plant, nor flower, nor blade of grass; nothing but a bed of sand. In or near one corner, where the water came close to the surface, were three or four excavations about six feet deep, with sloping sides. These were our wells of living water, and the green scum that covered the water made them very inviting. There were also a number of old tents, all badly dilapidated, pitched in a promiscuous cluster in the center of the enclosure, occupied by several hundred Union prisoners of war captured in part from Milroy’s command at Winchester in June, and others at some earlier date. No extra tents were furnished for the additional prisoners, and we found shelter as best we could or went without. During our whole imprisonment I never once enjoyed the luxury of a change of clothing or the opportunity to wash a garment. “The cooking establishment for the prison was situated just outside of the pen, on the bank of the James River, and 20 or 25 rods above it, at the other corner of the pen, and out over the river a few feet, were situated the prison sinks. The water supply for cooking purposes was drawn from the river, and of the relative situation of our kitchen and the sinks I have no further statement to make, except that the statement of their relative positions is true.” When George Hill and friends had arrived at Belle Isle, 11 days earlier, a comrade had reserved a tent space for them. This was not so for Sgt. Boudwin. He wrote, “Tents could not be had for love or money.” Those without tents suffered terribly in the hot weather that persisted through early August. The first night in camp a tragic killing was foreshadowed, when a guard fired at a prisoner standing not ten yards away. Miraculously, He missed. A letter of Private John F. White,2 a soldier of the 9th N.Y. Vols. [Baxter’s Brigade] describes life at Belle Isle at this time. Private White was among the first group of 700 prisoners to depart Staunton on July 19th. He arrived at Belle Isle 2 weeks before Sgt. Boudwin. The murdered prisoner referred to in the letter above, is Private John Donnelly, 91st PA.3 His murder on August 14 shocked Sgt. Boudwin, who wrote: “At 2 P.M. one of the guard fired on one of the prisoners who was standing near the bank and killed him & wounded two others slightly. The guard had no cause what ever to fire on him. The man was married and left a large family to mourn over his untimely death -- It was as cold Blooded a Murder as ever witnessed -- Evening his body was carried away and buried. It was a sad sight, and I never want to witness another. Evening a heavy thunder shower.” The above shows that survival at Belle Isle Prison was not just about filling up vacant hours of relentless boredom waiting to be exchanged. It was a life and death struggle against dirt, vermin, starvation, neglect, and exposure. Of the lice Private Roland E. Bowen, (15th Mass) said: “I don't deny being lousy when I went on to the Island, but I was not alive with them. I had been there but a short time before every crevice and seam in my few remaining rags were full of lice and nits. I used to pick lice from one to two hours a day, and then it was with the most utmost difficulty that I keep them in subjection. On the ground they could be seen crawling in all directions.” After 2 weeks sleeping on the ground Sgt. Boudwin came down with chills and was sick for a week. In general, cries of help for the sick were ignored. Private Roland E. Bowen4 continued: “The sick are much better taken care of than formerly; the[re] was a time when it was almost impossible to get a sick man out to the hospital. You might hear men at all hours of the day crying out Steward; Steward; I want to get a sick man out to the hospital, don't expect he can live but a short time. Answer. can't help it, have no room for him. Nine times out of ten this would be the answer. Yes, I believe nineteen out of twenty, and the poor wretch would be left to die without ever seeing a physician or having the first identical thing done to relieve him of his sufferings, until at last death relieves him of all his miseries. In the midst of his illness Sergeant Boudwin wrote, “if we are kept here much longer we will die off like time.” After toughing it out on his own for a week John Boudwin was able to see a doctor and get some medicine. Throughout his captivity, he kept a careful record of the daily rations. Prisoners were issued rations twice daily. A sergeant was often placed in charge of a squad of 100 prisoners. Sgt. Boudwin was one of these squad sergeants. He was responsible for getting the squad's rations in the morning, and afternoon, from the Confederate Quartermaster at the prison gate. The sergeant, with some men, distributed the rations to his squad, which was further divided into 5 messes, each in charge of an appointed corporal, who divided it accordingly among the men in his mess. Breakfast invariably was bread and meat. Supper was bread and soup. Sgt. Boudwin failed to provide a culinary review of these offerings, but Roland Bowen did record his impressions. “About 4 oc P.M. we get supper, the routine is about the same except that we get 6 buckets of soup instead of meat, more appropriately called slush or swill. Sometimes it is rice, at other beans, and once in awhile mush. The beans are a very inferior kind, I think I never saw any like them before, they are very small and dark coloured. It is said they grow wild in many parts of the South and are commonly called peas. I should never call them peas however. The quality of the rice would be very good if they would pick it over, but the quantity, Lord. The mush would be very good if it was not for the absence of meal. I have seen many a pail of soup, say ten or twelve quarts, with less than a pint of beans or rice in them. Sometimes for supper we would get a few miserable half decayed sweet potatoes. A few times we got potatoes and soup both at the same time. Occasionally in the place of bread we got 3 hard tack and a little pork in the place of soup, which came from our lines. Very little of the provisions sent by our Goverment ever reached us, and when they did they were spareingly dealt out to us in place of Confederate rations.” Tuesday, August 25, the day after Sgt. Boudwin saw the camp doctor, everybody's rations were cut. Beef rations were cut down to 12 pounds per 100 men, “and it makes quite a small piece to a man. Also our bread ration is smaller but all we can do is to grin and bear it.” The day had a bright side though, for Sgt. Boudwin finally got himself into a tent, “...after being here 20 days and it is a little more comfortable than laying out in the hot sun.” The added shelter the tent provided was a fortunate thing for the days were very hot and the nights turned cold during the last week of August. One night John wrote, “Those that did not have tents – had to keep walking most of the night to keep warm.” Prisoner Bowen re-enforces Boudwin's diary entries. He wrote: “Very seldom during my stay on the Island that all could get into tents. At times many hundreds had to sleep on the street and in the ditch with out a blanket or an overcoat. I say blanket or overcoat. They were half naked and would lay down 8 or 10 together like pigs just as close as they could get, in this way they would shiver out a part of the night, the remainder of wich they would walk the street. The silent hours of night are always broken by the dismal tread of a hundred shivering forms as they pass to and fro. I suppose every one is aware that in this clime, especially in the low lands of the James, that in the fall of the year we have very chilly nights with hot days.” There were other threats inside the prison apart from exposure and hunger. At the end of August and early September Sgt. Boudwin begins to frequently mention the speculators, thieves and bread raiders that preyed on fellow inmates. Reduced rations incited men called ‘ralliers’ by Bowen, and ‘bread raiders’ by Boudwin, who would prowl camp to steal bread and rations. On August 28, Sgt Boudwin wrote, “Evening bread raids in camp several tents torn down. …the bread raids continued till 2 this morning the Guard came in camp and put a stop to it as the boys got very noisy. Some of the men got very roughly handled as knives were freely used.” Private Bowen called these men ralliers and described them in his letters: “…time and time again I have known the raiders to make a furious attack on a few loaves of bread, then there would go up a hideous yell and clubs would fly and bread too. In an instant there would come forth a throng of raiders and anti-raiders, men with clubs and knives and men without either. Some one would be sought out as a rallyer and get a crack on the cranium. Another would seize a loaf of bread, no sooner than he would get it 3 or 4 would rally on him and thus the scramble for bread and the fight would become general. “…A number of the raiders lost their lives in these melees. Its no crime on Belle Island to kill a man. In the Bay State if a man has plenty of money and puts it out freely, he is a good fellow. On Belle Island if a man kills a rallier he is a good fellow…” Thieves were another problem. The day following the bread raids Sgt. Boudwin wrote: “I was to day engaged in a fight as we found a thief who stole some things from us and Lock and myself gave him a good thrashing which he won’t forget for some time. We found several stolen articles on him all of which he said he found…” [Fred D. Locke, Company D, 13th Mass]. August dragged into September, and the party of 13th Mass men with Sgt. Boudwin marked their 4th , 5th and 6th weeks in camp. The Confederate Newspaper sugar-coated conditions at the camp. How can the miserable dreariness of life here be described? Captain Beecham of the 2d Wisconsin said: “Talk not to me of your long June days in the North - they are as but moments. The longest days ever experienced by man were those prison days of July and August in the sunny Southland, within a stone’s throw of the court of Jefferson Davis.” There were no exchanges after some 650 men left camp on August 20th and 28th; only rumors of exchanges. Meanwhile more prisoners were coming in to the camp. At irregular intervals, men captured from various engagements on land and sea swelled the ranks of the 3 acre plot that was Belle Isle Prison. Condemnation of the government authorities, a popular past-time with soldiers, became more frequent. Sgt. Boudwin wrote , “I wish to God our Government would use some means to get us out of here for there is not any excuse for our being kept here so long...” And men continued to die. In the early dawn hours of September 13th, another soldier, half out of his mind from the strain of prison conditions, was shot down by a guard. “At 4 a.m. one of the prisoners was shot dead by one of the guard while on his way down to the sink. I have not heard the cause. I have learned his name and it is Mahoney of the 12th Mass Vols. He was a little out of his mind & was sick and was going to the sink and before he got there was fired on twice by the guard. It is a very sad affair and I am afraid a great many more will meet the same death for a large number of the men are getting desperate on account of being fed so poorly, but I will hope for the best and keep my courage up. I had a talk with the Lieutenant to day and he told me he would send me out if possible in the next squad.”5 The Lieutenant of the Guard kept his word. Confederate officers came in to camp to begin the process of exchanging a batch of prisoners on September 17. Sgt. Boudwin made his way to see him to have another talk. As an incentive, he gave the lieutenant Private Fred Locke’s gold ring, and Corporal Ed Boyd’s Meerschaum pipe, and a book, and in return the lieutenant promised to parole them the next day. The anxiously awaited dawn came in stormy with a cold drizzling rain that turned to showers. After 9 a.m. it cleared off and the Confederate officers returned. The paroling process resumed. John Boudwin wrote, “after considerable hard work I got myself and comrades E.A. Boyd, John Clark, Fred Locke, and Chris Magraw paroled before sunset. Nothing else occurred during the day I learned that another man died in the Hospital this morning.” The rain returned at night. The temperature dropped, the wind increased and the shower grew into a storm. Those without tents suffered severely. It was literally, 'a dark and stormy night.' The cold wind and rain persisted into the morning and throughout the next day. Two men in camp were found dead from exposure. And, John got 7 more men paroled. On the night of the 20th the temperature dropped further still. It was another chilling, sleepless night, the coldest yet, for the paroled prisoners desperate to get away. Thoughts of their long awaited freedom nearly at hand fortified their patience to endure, yet still they suffered. The 21st of September, continued cold into the morning, and for most of the day. And there were no evident signs of release. It was the 47th day at Belle Island for Sgt. Boudwin and his comrades. But the slow, drawn-out struggle for survival was about to end. On this day he wrote: “…This morning was very cold and I have not slept one hour the whole morning for I could not. I am feeling pretty old and since I have been a prisoner I have lost 30 lbs. of flesh and there seems to be nothing left but bones of my whole body. I hope to the Lord that we will leave this cursed hold before the week is out. “At 10 A.M. we all marched out and were counted; at 4 P.M. the very joyful news of going away. My name and my comrades was called and I have not felt so happy for a long time to march out and off of Belle Isle. Marched to a large Tobacco warehouse in Richmond and quartered for the night here. We drew rations of Bread, ham & soup & there was some pretty tall raiding for the same. I got 9 loafs of bread & 6 lbs. of boiled bacon & a bucket of soup for 12 of us, and if we did not stow that away no one ever did, for we were pretty hungry. Did not sleep any being over-joyed at getting away from Belle Isle.” Patience was still required as the exchanged prisoners traveled by train from Richmond to Petersburg, changed cars, and started to City Point to meet the Flag of Truce boat. The boys had to camp out yet another night but slept little while excitedly waiting to board the boat to freedom. “The boat came in sight at 7 and some tall cheering was done by the boys. It brought some paroled Rebel prisoners. At 9 A.M. all were landed and we took there [their] places on the boat and got rations of bread & bacon, all we wanted to eat.” Pictured is the Federal “flag-of-truce boat” New York, which carried exchanged prisoners to Aiken's Landing, and later to City Point, in 1862, for the change to be completed. The Federal prisoners were usually taken from the point of exchange first to Fortress Monroe, and then to the parole camp at Annapolis. - From, “The Photographic History of the Civil War”, vol. 7. John took sick while the boat steamed up river through the night to arrive at Annapolis, 8 A.M. September 24. The released soldiers marched up to the barracks and found, “several of our regiment here looking very well. Received a clean suit of clothes & I went down to the river and had a wash & threw away my old ones and I felt like a new man when I got clean clothes. I got plenty of good food to eat & I feel happy. I quartered for the night in a good warm building & had a blanket to cover me and the first one for 3 months.” Sgt. Boudwin was sick for over a week following his return to safety. But with proper care and shelter he recovered. He had been at Belle Isle 47 days. Those incarcerated even for a short time complained of the suffering endured when in the hands of the Confederacy. Conditions at Belle Isle deteriorated even more, from these low Summer standards, for those imprisoned through the winter. Captain R.K. Beecham said: “Yet we saw only a fraction of the horrors of prison life - or prison death, as it afterward became, when all exchange of prisoners had ceased, and the doors of hope were closed. At that time the oldest prisoner on Belle Isle had not been there to exceed 60 days, for exchanges were being made at irregular intervals. We all expected to be exchanged, and hope is a wonderful invigorator.” John Boudwin and his comrades got off just in time. One wonders how any prisoner, north or south, survived prolonged imprisonment during the war under such conditions as those at Belle Isle. NOTES 1. Captain R. K.

By MAJOR MORTON TOWER. Chancellorsville had been fought; it had been called a drawn battle. We retreated, and after a few weeks Lee and his army were again on the march, this time destined to reach Pennsylvania. Our march to Gettysburg, although a long one, was not particularly hard, as we had become inured to marching and the hardships attendant upon a soldier's life, by long service. There were small fights such as almost always preceded large battles ; almost everyday we could hear cannonading, and knew that the enemy was in our vicinity. On the evening of June 30, after the day's march, we went quietly into camp. Early on the morning of July 1, the long roll was sounded and we were hurried along, and at the double quick were marched some five or six miles, and formed into line under a severe musketry fire - formed not as usual, in one continuous column, but went into line by regiments with intervals between each. Very soon we found we had hot work to perform, and well the old First Corps did it. It is said we withstood Early's division of thirty thousand with our corps of only ten thousand nearly all day. Repeatedly they charged our lines and as often were repulsed; our regiment during the fight captured more men than it contained, and got them safely to the rear. A brigade of the Eleventh Corps came up in the afternoon and took position on our right; it was a fearful all-day's fight. General Reynolds, our Corps Commander, was killed early in the morning, and every division or brigade general was either killed or wounded, General Paul, commanding our brigade, being shot through both eyes, entirely destroying his sight. About four o'clock the enemy made a final charge, outflanking our right, and driving us into the town of Gettysburg, which they completely surrounded, taking between two thousand and three thousand prisoners, of which I was one. When our corps was driven back to the town there was no rout, though we steadily gave way as we were forced. As far as I know, not a single piece of artillery was lost; but, what was of very much more importance, I do know that by stubborn and heroic fighting the First Corps saved the heights of Gettysburg, as well as the army, for the fights that were to take place during the next two days. As we were driven back we could see our army marching and taking possession of the hills beyond the town, and we all felt that our task was done, and well done. The Confederates gathered us up, marched us over the battlefield to their rear, and I had every reason to think that after more than two years vainly endeavoring to get into Richmond, I was at last destined to reach there. We were marched about three miles to the rear of their army and halted. The incessant reverberations of the artillery and the rapid discharge of musketry told us how bloody was the struggle and how well disputed the ground. On the 4th we heard rumors of the repulse of the enemy, and unmistakable indications told us our captors were in full retreat. On that day our only celebration was the glorious news that Vicksburg was captured by Grant, and the knowledge that our troops had won at Gettysburg. We started during the morning and marched steadily until midnight, in a drenching rain, to a place called Monterey. The next day we started early, and could plainly hear the firing in our rear, which gave us groundless hopes of our recapture. All through our march in Pennsylvania and Maryland the people along the route gave us provisions, which our guards allowed us to receive; in fact, during our long march while in charge of the men who had seen service, we received no unkindness. Our rations, after we entered Virginia, were scanty, and our march was a hard one, as it rained very hard most of the time, and when it did not rain the heat was almost unbearable. On the third day's march they camped us on the very same ground our regiment first occupied in 1861, near Williamsport. The people there heard of the capture of our regiment, and as we passed through the town loaded us with provisions. We crossed the Potomac by the ferry, which was a tedious process, and again found ourselves once more in Virginia, with but little prospect of recapture. Stanton, our destination, was about two hundred miles away; this distance was made by forced marches. We had few blankets, and those mostly of rubber, a canteen and a haversack, which were all we carried; the latter was most of the time empty, at irregular intervals during the march, rations of flour and raw beef were issued, which we cooked by making a paste of the flour and baking on the hot coals, the meat being cooked the same way. All things have an end; so did our march to Stanton, Va. We were strongly guarded, only one man that I know of, Colonel Spofford, of a Pennsylvania regiment, managing to escape. Once I tried it. While marching along a railroad one rainy night I slid down an embankment, and thought I had succeeded, when a voice said to me, “If you feel rested you better join the other fellows.” Another time I might have escaped had I only recognized the chance. One night as we were going into camp we passed a well where men were getting water. I passed out of the line, filled my canteen, and stood watching the men, when one of them asked me to what regiment I belonged; on my replying Thirteenth Massachusetts he kindly escorted me to the prisoners' camp. Our uniform was worn by many of the Confederates, so one could have stayed among them without being noticed. When we arrived at Stanton a large crowd was at the depot to meet us; our reception was very loud, if not very warm. Here we were to say good-by to our guards, and to be handed over to the tender mercies of the “stay-at-homes.” Captain Patterson, of the Sixty-first Virginia, had been in command, and he bade us good-by, saying, “I and my boys have treated you as well as we could. When you get to Richmond everything will be taken from you; the rubber blankets, haversacks and canteens you have will be of great use to my men.” Instantly almost every man handed them what he had, the guard then left us, but soon came back and loaded us with pies, cakes and cold meat, and when the cars started for Richmond gave us three cheers, which we returned. This was good-by for a long while to any considerate treatment. On the evening of the same day our sorry column, weary, foot-sore, and dust-covered from eighteen days' hard marching, was marched through the streets of Richmond to Libby Prison. The gloomy and forbidding exterior of the prison, with the pale, emaciated faces staring vacantly at us through the bars, were repulsive enough, but at least it was a haven of rest from the weary foot-march. We were ushered into a lower room, where we were thoroughly searched and all money and articles of any value taken from us. We were then led into the upper south room. Not a chair, bench, table, or bunk was there; from the rafters hung a lot of old dirty blankets, to which we helped ourselves, and when put to use were found to be filled with vermin. Weary and sore we laid our-selves on the bare floor and slept as only overworked men can sleep. Libby Prison stood close by the Lynchburg canal, and in full view of the James river. It was a capacious warehouse, built of brick and roofed with tin; the building had a front of about one hundred and forty feet, with a depth of one hundred and five. There were nine rooms, each one hundred and two feet long by forty-five wide, the height of the ceiling from the floor was about seven feet, except the upper story, which was better ventilated, owing to the pitch of the roof; while at each end of these rooms were five windows. We were now fairly embarked upon Libby life, little thinking what a long weary time it would be before we were once more free. The room I was in was occupied by officers from the Army of the Potomac; there were over two hundred of us. Our only water supply was a faucet in one corner, with a sort of trough for the water to run into, which we utilized as a bath-tub when we could get a chance, though that was not often, among so many. Our rations were of the scantiest kind, with the exception of a short time when they allowed us to receive boxes from home. Mornings, the first thing was roll-call, which meant standing in line in files of fours until counted. After this came what was called breakfast, which consisted of a piece of unbolted corn-bread three inches square, and a very small piece of meat, mostly rancid bacon; this was all the bread and meat for the day. About five o'clock in the afternoon half a dozen negroes, each with a couple of buckets, would appear; these buckets were filled with a sort of broth that the meat had been boiled in, with a little rice added, and of this they gave us about a pint. Such were the rations we received every day. Every morning came a darkey with a frying-pan filled with steaming tar; this was to fumigate the rooms. Once a week came scrubbing-day, which was most dreaded of all days; the same darkies would appear with buckets and brooms and thoroughly drench the floor with water; this, as we had to sleep on the bare floors, would make it decidedly uncomfortable for a day or two. Life in Libby, at best, was very monotonous, but as we became used to it, we passed the time playing cards, chess, and other games. Schools of all kinds were in vogue. We had mock trials, civil and military, in which, generally, the culprit would be an officer who understood very little English, and the jury would be selected from the same kind; frequently during the trials, the anxiety of the prisoners and the jury to understand what was going on would be very interesting to the outsiders, though it did not appear so to them. We had lectures, and published a weekly paper called the “Libby Chronicle.” The editor, I thought then, and still think, could have been successfully sued for libel, as the items were generally quite personal. At night, after lights were out, came what was called the “Catechism,” when such questions as these were asked and answered ; “Who hid behind the big gun?” “Who surrendered for humanity's sake?” “Who washed his clothes in the soup buckets?” “Who burnt the hash ?” “Who took a bath ?” etc. And these were replied to with the names of the several offenders, much to the amusement of those acquainted with the circumstances referred to. These highly refined entertainments usually closed with a bombardment of all the utensils one could find at hand, which resulted in a general search for personal property the next morning. At one time we gave theatrical and musical entertainments, and they were remarkably good, as among so many, more than average talent was to be found. Sundays, as we had several chaplains amongst us, we had Divine service. We also had temperance lectures by the famous Neal Dow. They did not make much impression on the audience, for of all the 1,500 or 2,000 men who attended, I knew of no one who used intoxicating liquors; perhaps from the fact that none were to be had. About a month, during the fall of '63, we were allowed to receive boxes from home, and clothing which was sent for the prisoners at Belle Isle by the Sanitary Commission, and here I want to say what any true, loyal man who saw the workings of that commission will echo with his whole soul, “God bless the Sanitary Commission!” Words cannot tell the good work they did. While we received boxes from home we fared very well. We gave and received dinners, and for a time, if prisoners can be, were jolly. Christmas came about this time, and we had a grand ball in one of the lower rooms, when we were allowed to burn candles until mid-night; we sang and danced until then. Soon after lying down someone started “Home, Sweet Home,” and I do not think there was a man that didn't join in singing the grand old tune, and grand and sad it must have sounded when one takes into consideration our surroundings. Winter was cold and cheerless without fires and with scanty clothing. Life was dreary indeed; we had long given up hopes of exchange, but all willingly submitted to the decision made by our government, that no arrangement for a just and equitable exchange of prisoners could be made. From the time one becomes a prisoner, the whole tenor of his thoughts will be the means and method of escape. Very few chances were offered, owing to the almost impregnable position of the prison. Few escapes were made, and most of these by seizing sudden opportunities. Occasionally visitors, mostly citizens of Richmond, were allowed, by the consent of the authorities, to enter the prison, and when leaving would pass out without being challenged by the sentinels. One day several visited the prison. Captain Porter, Major Bates, and Lieutenant King, having obtained citizens' clothing from home, donned the same and followed this group of visitors past the guard. Captain Porter succeeded in reaching our lines, but the other two were recaptured. At another time workmen were replacing wooden bars in the upper story with iron ones, and Lieutenant Cupp disguised himself as one of the number by soiling his hands and face, putting his old shirt over his clothes, and taking a piece of iron bar in his hands. When the workmen left at dinner-time, he quietly followed them out of the prison. As he passed across the street he was stopped by a citizen, to whom he apparently explained the alterations being made at the prison. He then coolly walked up the street and probably as coolly walked into our lines. At another time Major Halstead and Lieutenant Wilson were in the hospital, presumably sick. The major, who had been a tailor prior to his military life, offered to make a uniform for one of the surgeons, but the surgeon, however, did not wear it, for one afternoon the major, in a surgeon's uniform, and Lieutenant Wilson, who by some means had obtained a Confederate private's uniform, not only walked out of the door, but all the way down the peninsula to the Federal lines. 1.

Open Lot (not visible in cropped image) Libby prison had been considered by confederate authorities as one of the most difficult of all the prisons from which to effect an escape, the building being completely isolated. On the north and south sides were vacant lots, on the east and west, streets. Libby itself is a brick building divided into three tenements of which the middle portion of the ground floor was the only one accessible to the prisoners, the north and south rooms being occupied, one as the Confederate officers' quarters, the other for a hospital for the Union sick; the basement under this hospital was used as a place for rubbish, also as a place of temporary receptacle for the dead previous to burial. The prison was guarded night and day by twenty sentinels, five on each side of the building. During December of 1863 and January of 1864, combined attempts at escape were commenced. The first of these was to tunnel to the sewer which passed under the street between the prison and the canal. The first attempt was made by Major Hamilton and another officer, who tried to pass through a drain to the sewer; this was found to be impracticable. They had meantime obtained access to the middle tenement by raising a board from the floor. Next, tunneling was tried, but was stopped by the tunnel coming in contact with a large rock. Another tunnel was abandoned on account of striking a flow of water. Traces of the tunnels were obliterated and all endeavors in this direction ceased. Had they been able to reach the sewer, which was built of brick and led to the outskirts of the city, undoubtedly the prison could have been emptied of prisoners in a few hours. Discouraging as these failures were to the men engaged, they were not disheartened. The next attempt made was commenced in a brick fireplace on the south side of the middle room, the object being to reach the basement under the hospital. This was done by digging out the bricks from the fireplace, the only implements used being a common case-knife. These bricks had to be replaced after the night's work was finished, every trace of which must be obliterated. After obtaining entrance to the basement under the hospital, a ladder was formed of old pieces of rope, blankets and sticks, which were hidden away during the day. The first work in the cellar was to remove the bricks from the foundation, thus making an opening of about two feet by eighteen inches in size. Then it became necessary to cut through one of the piles that formed the foundation of the building. This was a tedious labor, as the work had to be done with ordinary pocket-knives. Then commenced the process of tunnelling through the dirt, which was accomplished by filling common spittoon-boxes, with which the prison was furnished, and placing the contents under the rubbish in the cellar, throwing it into sinks where it was washed away by the water, and in every other conceivable place where it would not attract attention. After the tunnel had been dug a few feet, one would lie on his back, draw the spittoon to his chest by means of a string, loosen the dirt behind his head with an old chisel, fill the box with his hands and pull the string, when the spittoon full of dirt would be drawn out by 'a comrade and replaced with an empty one. All the excavating of the tunnel was accomplished in this manner. As we had no means of propping the tunnel, the sensation of being buried alive was fearful, and men could work only for brief periods. In a building which occupied part of the yard our boxes from home were stored, since the authorities had stopped delivering them to us. Could we but reach that yard, we supposed the sentries would think we were their own men stealing them. This they probably did, as not one of us was challenged during the night of our escape. The entrance from the street to the yard was a brick arch-way closed by ordinary wooden picket gates, through these we passed into the street in plain sight of at least seven sentinels. On the night of February 9, as soon as it was sufficiently dark the exodus from the prison commenced from the lower middle room, through the hole in the fireplace to the cellar below the hospital. The room was crowded with prisoners, which somewhat interfered with the exit of those escaping. About 11 o'clock an alarm was raised that the guard was coming. This caused the room to be cleared. With a rush every man sought his resting-place, and immediately all was quiet. Soon after Colonel Davis, of the Fourth Maine, came to me, saying, “Now is our chance.” We, with Major Hamilton, Colonel Rose, and others of the projectors, went down to the room and, finding no one there, passed at once through the tunnel just as the clocks in Richmond were striking twelve. It seemed strange that no alarm was given, as the noise made by the men rushing and crowding up the stairs was very much out of the ordinary. Colonel Davis had been seriously wounded in his left arm, which was now nearly helpless, and I had to help him crawl through the tunnel by pulling him along as best I could. We passed under the archway, waiting for what we thought a favorable moment to evade the sentinels' observation. Colonel Davis turned into and went down the street first. After a few anxious moments I followed and came up with Davis leaning against a building. We then passed along to the suburbs of the city, when we came to a railroad, near which a sentry was standing near a small fire. We succeeded in eluding his vigilance and walked as rapidly as possible away from Richmond, crossing over unoccupied fortifications. Near daybreak we reached a small thicket of woods, where we stopped to rest. We had scarcely lain down when we heard "reveille" sounding all around us. We knew we had to move, and we did so suddenly. We came out in full view of their camps, and tried to find some hiding-place. We were not successful in this, for we were on a small hill, within not more than a thousand yards from where cavalry was located. We lay down on the ground expecting, of course, to be recaptured before the day was done. Time passed on, and still we were safe. After the longest and most anxious day I ever spent, night came again and once more we breathed freely. We again started on, evading in the best way we could their camps and sentries. Early in the morning we reached the banks of the Chickahominy river, where there was a grove of large trees with no underbrush, in plain sight of a sentry, had he been looking our way. He was leaning over a small fire around which several men were sleeping. It was as dangerous for us to retreat as it was to advance, so we did the latter. We struck the river where parts of an old pontoon boat and other drift had lodged, over which we passed in safety. For an hour or more we travelled on, hiding in the brush the remainder of the day. As soon as night fell we again took up our line of march. During our wanderings we avoided all highways and open fields. Most of the way lay through swamps filled with tangled underbrush, and with water sometimes waist deep. The weather was very cold, the Potomac river being partly frozen over during the time we were out. We shaped our course by the north star. At one time during the night, as we were walking along a path, we heard the tinkling of a cow-bell. Davis thought it would be a good scheme to have some fresh milk, we therefore hid in the brush beside the path, waiting for the cow to come along, the cow, how-ever, proved to be no cow at all, but a Confederate soldier leading his horse, which had a cow-bell suspended from its neck. We hunted no more lacteal fluid that night, as we had come to the conclusion that it was not healthy, although at different times we heard more bells, which we always carefully avoided. Early that morning we found, as we thought, a secure place for the day, near an old log. We had not hidden there long before we heard the baying of a hound, and as the sound drew nearer and nearer we knew the enemy were on our track. It was no use to run, and we prepared ourselves the best we could. The colonel selected a stout club and I opened a common pocket-knife which I had, and then waited. Soon a hound came up, jumped on a log, and commenced to bay, not offering to touch us unless we moved. The colonel struck the dog over the head with his cudgel and I with my knife, and soon he was a good enough dog for us. We travelled for an hour or two hunting for another place to hide, where we stayed until dark, when we once more commenced our tramp. We journeyed all night through the swamp until daylight, when we suddenly came into the Williamsburg turnpike, which we had all along been trying to avoid. We struck the road in plain sight of a Confederate picket, who called upon us to halt, which we did not see fit to do, but turned and ran for the swamp; three shots were fired at us as we disappeared. We managed to hide under some old logs, in water nearly up to our necks. For nearly an hour we could hear them hunting for us and calling to each other. After waiting until all was quiet we took up our march. We travelled for a couple of hours and hid for the day in a thicket. As soon as it began to grow dark we heard some one passing near us, and as they came in sight we discovered them to be two escaped Union officers. We joined forces and travelled together during the night. Early in the morning we came in sight of a house, which we concluded to visit. We found only three or four women there, and to them we said that we were Confederate cavalry, and that the Yankees had captured our horses and chased us through the swamp. We asked where our troops were. Pointing to a hill, they informed us “there were right smart of 'em” over there. They gave us some corn bread and biscuit, when we immediately left, making a wide detour of the place indicated as being occupied by the Confederates, and soon again went into hiding. At nightfall we once more started, and had travelled for about three or four hours when we saw a large fire ahead of us. We proceeded toward this, coming soon into a large field in which were three haystacks. We could plainly see the fire, which was near a road. We dared not approach nearer, and as the haystacks offered a tempting bed we burrowed into the centre of one, lay down and enjoyed our first real rest since leaving Richmond. Next morning, feeling much refreshed, we concluded to travel for a few hours and find a safe hiding-place, as we thought the haystacks, from their position, too conspicuous. We passed around the place where we had seen the fire on the previous night, when we came to a wood where we had a plain view of the Williamsburg turnpike. We had been lying down for an hour or two when we saw coming from the direction of Willamsburg a troop of cavalry. As they approached near enough for us to distinguish their uniforms and equipments, we felt sure they were Union. We waved our hats to them, when they broke into a gallop and came cheering to where we stood. We found them to be a company of the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry, commanded by Captain Ackerly, coming out from the camp at Williamsburg to relieve a company that had been sent out to help escaping prisoners, they having heard of the escape from officers already arrived. The fires we had seen in the night had been built by these troops, thinking they might be seen by the fugitives. We stayed at this place all day. Captain Ackerly furnished us with horses, and with the company we rode to Williamsburg, a distance of about eight miles, where we found several officers who had succeeded in escaping. We were received with open arms by every one, were furnished with a tent, plenty of blankets and eatables, which we had been almost without since leaving Richmond seven days before, and from which place we took with us two small boxes of sardines, a piece of bologna sausage about four inches long that we had saved from boxes received from home, and two small pieces of Confederate cornbread. These were all the rations used by us during our wanderings, excepting the bread we received from the only house we visited. We slept well that night and were up when the sunrise gun was fired and reveille sounded. We saw the flag raised, and never did a flag look as handsome to us as "Old Glory” did that morning. One who has not passed through the hardships experienced by us the last eight months could hardly imagine the joy we felt in knowing that we were once more really free. One hundred and nine officers escaped through the tunnel, fifty-three of whom succeeded in reaching our lines. From Williamsburg we were sent to Yorktown in ambulances, from which place some thirty of us were sent by steamer to Fortress Monroe, where we were received by Gen. B. F. Butler, who placed everything in Hygeia Hotel at our disposal. Next morning General Butler detailed an escort for us, with which we proceeded, passing through Baltimore, and upon arriving at Washington marched to the White House where we were received by President Lincoln. The news of our escape had preceded us, and all along the route from Fortress Monroe to Washington we were constantly receiving ovations from the crowds of people that thronged our way. The officers on board the boat that conveyed us from Yorktown to Fortress Monroe did not apparently know who we were. As we left the former place we occupied the cabin, and of course were jubilant and very noisy. Soon the captain of the boat came into the cabin and said, “This noise must be stopped.” He then left, but soon reappeared and asked, “Are you the men that escaped from Libby?” We replied, “Yes.” He then said, “Make all the damned noise you please.” Aboard the same boat was the celebrated Miss Dix, of sanitary and soldiers' hospital fame. She was greatly interested in us and our adventures, and invited us all to visit her in her home at Washington. At the Capitol there was the usual amount of “red tape.” We had received orders to be paid off, and had been allowed thirty days' leave of absence. For two days I vainly tried to get my pay, visiting the Treasury Department each morning. On the third morning I again presented myself there, and was met by the usual answer “that I would have to wait.” I remarked “that it was mighty hard that a man who had just spent eight months in Libby Prison, and with a thirty days' leave of absence in his pocket, could not get the wherewithal to go home.” As I said this a kindly looking gentleman, who stood beside me, asked my name, rank, and regiment, saying, “Wait a moment.” He left, but soon returned, handing me a check

REYNOLDS Franklin M. Reynolds was born November 21, 1853, and departed this life April 3, 1910, aged 56 years, 4 months and 12 days. He was married March 21, 1880 to Miss Ida Riggs. Five children were born to this union: Ethel O., Philip I., Thurman J., Lynden E., and Frances E. He united with the Zoar Baptist Church in the year 1879, Rev. J. R. Shingleton being the pastor who baptised him into the membership, and he remained a faithful member until the organization of the church at Clay Point, July 7, 1883, when he became a member of that organization, now extinct). He was clerk of this church during its existence, also Sunday School Superintendent, until his health failed him. When the first Baptist Church of this city was organized some eleven years ago he identified himself with it, and retained his membership here till his Master said, "It is enough", and on the morning of April 3 he was transplanted into the Church Triumphant on the shores of eternal bliss. He has been identified with many of the interests of this county; his counsels were always safe, conservative, and yet progressive He was a friend of the cause of religion; a man of deep conviction, yet had charity with all respecting other men's opinions. He was not one of those that was carried about with every wind of doctrine; he tried things until he proved them and then held to that which was good. Funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church of St. Marys April 5, by the pastor, Rev. M. F. Kiger, assisted by Rev. J. R. Shingleton, after which his body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows Cemetery to await the resurrection summons. M. F.

(Gerald Bills) The Oracle, St. Marys, WV, 17 Nov 1905 ISAAC O. REYNOLDS Isaac O. Reynolds passed away at two o'clock on Sunday morning, November 12, at the home of his brother, Frank M. Reynolds, Grape Island, after having been confined to the house about two weeks with illness. He had been in poor health for some time, but had made no complaint, and his condition was not regarded as serious until he was compelled to return unexpectedly from a vacation trip that he had made to the East. On his return he attempted to resume his position in the Pleasants County Bank, but a brief trial convinced him that it was unwise, and he yielded to the advice of physician and friends and sought rest at the home of his brother. But in spite of the fact that he knew he was suffering from a mortal disease, cancer of the liver, he continued to exercise supervision as far as he could over the affairs of the bank. The deceased was the youngest son of Isaac and Cassie (Bills) Reynolds and was born February 4, 1865. He received his first instruction in the St. Marys school, and afterwards attended the Marietta ... that time residing in Harmar. After leaving the academy, he learned the art of printing, and practiced the occupation at Sutton, in Braxton county. Returning to St. Marys; he taught school several terms, and in 1885 was appointed Deputy Sheriff under his brother, D. W. Reynolds. He filled this office in a highly creditable manner, and was continued in the position under Sheriff R. A. Gorrell and again under his brother, making a consecutive service of twelve years. On October 23, 1895 he was married to Lucy Clifford, daughter of Mrs. Emma J. (Clifford) Patterson. Their happy wedded life was terminated by the sad death of his wife and child on the 9th day of October 1896. In the year 1897 he assisted in incorporating the Pleasants County Bank, the first institution of the kind established in this city, and was appointed its cashier a position which he filled with universal approbation up to the time of his death. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, and was also a member of the secret society, A.F. & A.M., and its kindred organization, the Knights of Pythias. His was a quiet life. He keenly delighted in the society of his friends, and was possessed of a remarkably even and cheery nature, never making an enemy that we have heard of. Ever since our first knowledge of him, he and his mother, with the exception of a few intervals, occupied the old family residence at the corner of Lafayette and Second streets and in which it is said the first court of Pleasants county was held. The funeral, which occurred on Tuesday, November 14, was the largest ever held in the county. The Masonic fraternity took charge of the remains and brought them from Grape Island to this city at 3:30 in the afternoon. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Protestant Church and opened for a last look at the departed, and the funeral procession wended its way to the cemetery, where interment took place under the management of the Masonic Brotherhood, the remains being lowered into the grave at sunset. The pall bearers were James M. Oldfield, Walter F. Varner, F.J. Hinderliter, Julius A. Schauwecker, Charles Steere and Dr. John B. Watson. The floral offerings were magnificent, testifying strongly the esteem and affection in which the deceased was held. (Gerald Bills) The St. Marys Oracle - 15 May 1884 JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS IN MEMORIAM Death is a sad visitor. It comes unbidden, but often not without a warning, and it leaves the home desolate indeed. Sickness, which is sometimes a precursor of dissolution, only adds to the endearment. Each member of the family in health would willingly suffer in his stead; and when Death finally with his icy hand removes the one thus doubly endeared, each bereaved one seems to think that he or she could have been better spared. God giveth as he sees fit, and taketh away as he likes. Consolation can only come from Heaven. We will no further attempt it. JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS, the subject of these remarks, was born in Pleasants county, West Virginia, August 3, 1861. At the age of sixteen he commenced to learn the printing trade, and at seventeen he started to travel, working in several offices in the Southern States. In the year 1881 he entered into partnership with William Devine, and started the "Rio Grande Vally." in Brownsville, Texas. The partnership lasted about a year, when Joseph became the sole proprietor of the paper. He remained in Brownsville during the yellow fever siege of 1882, and passed through the trying ordeal. In June 1883, he returned home in impaired health, and remained here with his mother and friends until his death, which occured May 10, 1884. His disease, which was pronounced consumption, was brought on by over-exertion in his work and lack of proper out-door exercise. He was ambitious, and attempted to excel by his own strength, but his constitution gave way under the severe strain, and he returned home a mere physical wreck of his former self. The best medical skill country could afford [sic] was consulted, and all that willing hands and loving hearts could do was exerted for his recovery, but the fell destroyer had seized with a hold that baffled human skill. Death came to him peaceful, and he passed away as calm as the May morning. The friends desire to express their gratitude to the physicians for their efforts in his behalf. They also remember kindly Mrs. Conrad, who, though a stranger, gave all assistance in her power to alleviate the suffering and to console those who mourn a loss that cannot be restored. They also feel themselves under obligations to Green Ruttencutter for his services in officiating at the obsequies. The large concourse of people that attended the funeral expresses the estimation in which the deceased was held by those with whom he grew up. (Gerald Bills) St. Marys Oracle - 4 June 1970 LYNDEN E.

Mr. Reynolds resided at Belmont and the accident occurred on a road a short distance from his home. Reynolds had left his home shortly before the accident, telling his wife that the birds were in the corn destroying it. Hearing a gun fire, members of the family went down the road and found the body. The discharge of the gun struck the victim near the chin and if the gun had been one inch farther away it would have missed him entirely. His face was badly mangled. The accident occurring as it did officers deemed an inquest unnecessary. The deceased was the son of Rodney Reynolds and was a life long resident of Pleasants County.

(Gerald Bills) Pleasants County Leader - April 18, 1902 Mrs. Frank Rife Mrs. Frank Rife died at her home on College Hill last Friday about 12 o'clock of consumption, in her 35th year. The deceased was a native of Circleville, O., and her remains were taken to that place Saturday for burial. She leaves a husband and three small children to mourn their loss. Suitable obituary will appear in these columns next week. Pleasants County Leader April 25, 1902 Rife-Lizzie May Rife, wife of Frank Rife, departed this life April 4th, 1902. The deceased was born on Waverly, Pike county, Ohio, but moved with her parents to Circleville, in the same state, when but a child. There she spent her entire life until she came to St. Marys about 15 months ago. She was married to Mr. Rife nearly 13 years ago. Of this happy union 5 children were born, of whom 3 survive. Her maiden life was happy and as she expressed it, "without a cloud." Sister Rife had a sunny disposition and those quiet virtues which so adorn domestic life. Throughout her entire sickness she never murmured nor complained, but waited with quiet resignation the summons which she realized would call her into the higher life of the Spirit. It was the privilege of the writer to talk with her many times in her last illness, and she always spoke with absolute confidence of the future. indeed, as she neared the tender land of the invisible world, her confidence grew into knowledge until she said, "there is no doubt, no dark cloud." Sister Rife was a member of the Methodist Protestant church, having joined on profession of faith. A short memorial service was held at the house Saturday morning of April 5, for the benefit of the many friends to whom she had become endeared before and during her affliction. The body was then taken to Circleville for interment. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of all in this, the darkest hour of human life. - M. D. Helmick (Gerald Bills) J.

(Michael Anderson) CYNTHIA ANN RIGGS St. Marys Oracle - July 23, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs, 38, of Minneapolis, Minn. was killed July 2, 2003 by a falling tree during a storm while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Ely, Minn. Her fiance David Sagula suffered injuries to his face and shoulder. She was born July 7, 1964, daughter of Bill and Connie Riggs of Valley Forge, Pa. Her background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's degree) and the University of Wyoming (PhD). She had been the clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses.] Survivors, in addition to her parents is and fiance, include a sister, Riggs-Le Picart of New York City; and grandfather Blaine Riggs of St. Marys. Memorial services were July 8 at the Minnesota Zon Meditation Center in Minneapolis. She and her fiance had planned to marry in December. OBITUARY: Minneapolis Psychologist's Free Spirit Recalled Nolan Zavoral, Star Tribune Published July 8, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs had the kind of contagious optimism that drew people to her, even if it meant following her to Patagonia. "That was one of the trips we went on -- to Patagonia, in Chile," said her friend Jennie Leskala. "She convinced me we could trek, without training, in the Andes Mountains. "It rained, it snowed, but we kept marching. Her famous line was, 'How hard can it be?' I'll miss that the most about her." Riggs, a Minneapolis psychologist who would have celebrated her 39th birthday Monday, died last week while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with her fiancé, David Sagula, 42, also a Minneapolis psychologist. Inside a tent, they were caught in violent straight-line winds on the night of July 2. A 100-year-old red pine, 16 inches in diameter, was uprooted and fell on the tent, grazing Sagula and knocking him unconscious and crushing Riggs, said Chip Elkins, a law-enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service who assisted the Lake County Sheriff's Office with rescue and recovery. Sagula, bruised on the face and shoulder, said he "woke from a daze with a bad headache" and saw that the tree had pinned Riggs. "I tried to move it -- I tried many, many times," he said Monday night from his home. "I tried to move her sleeping bag from under it, but nothing. I was panicky. It was surreal." Sagula said he could not find Riggs' pulse. The couple, engaged two months ago, planned to marry in December. "Part of me knew she was gone. Part of me could not believe it," he said. Riggs' cell phone didn't work, so Sagula set off from Basswood Lake -- on the Canadian border, about 20 miles northeast of Ely, Minn. -- for help. Eventually, he found campers who called for help. Elkins, who flew in on a float plane, said, "This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but it does happen." A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. today at the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, 3343 E. Calhoun Pkwy., in Minneapolis. Riggs is survived by her sister, Susan, of New York City, and her parents, Bill and Connie, from suburban Philadelphia. Riggs -- whose academic background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's) and the University of Wyoming (Ph.D.) -- had been clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses. She had begun working as a volunteer in that area when she was in high school. "It was her life-long passion, to help those that society has cast aside," Sagula said. "She was intelligent and beautiful, and she could have worked with the rich if she wanted to take that route. "But that wasn't her. She wanted to work with those who'd been left behind."

Swanson Sr., commanding ofﬁcer of A Company, 502nd PIR, 101st Airborne Division, during the European campaign of 1944 and 1945. He died 10 days after the photo was taken. I thought you might like to know who he was: – Joe Chesnut, via e-mail an American hero. Tired of games Well done, Commander Cadmus! I was thrilled to read the open letter to Sens. Bill Frist and Tom Daschle (December). We are tired of the political games and lies from Washington. Flag burning has never been and never will be about free speech. It is a hate crime, plain and simple. – Tim Grams, Fairﬁeld, Pa. Keep hope alive Your letter to Sens. Frist and Daschle is perfect. I had lost heart that the ﬂag-desecration amendment would ever get passed. Raise hell and raise the ﬂag. ber), the ﬁnest I’ve seen on the need for a federal constitutional amendment deﬁning marriage as the union of one man and one woman. It also clearly outlines American Legion Resolution No. 401, which deﬁnes the reasons for passage of such an amendment. Surely, thinking Americans do not want to see our nation on the “slippery slope” experienced by Scandinavia and Holland, with their accompanying social problems. Thanks for bringing this national issue to the forefront. – Lew Fiero, Red Wing, Minn. Civil, religious line I share the national commander’s frustration with lack of action on the ﬂag amendment despite Senate leadership’s bipartisan assurances. But politicians lie; it’s the nature of the beast. Essentially, in a hotly contested election year, stalwarts of either party will promise or trade anything to anyone to get their posse reelected. As the saying goes, “There ain’t a nickel’s worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.” We expect our political enemies to “misspeak,” but when dealing with politicians, we need to also beware of our “friends.” The civil ceremony is a legal contractual arrangement, and such contracts can be made between two persons planning to live as a couple, between two or more partners in a business, between a boss and his employee or between two businesses. The religious ceremony is before God and follows millennia of tradition. Why do folks like Stanley Kurtz continue to confuse the two? If a church doesn’t want to recognize a union, for whatever reason – a single-sex couple, a divorced partner, refusal of one of the persons to accept the faith, whatever – that is its right. By the same token, if two parties want to sign a contractual agreement it is none of the church’s business. – Don Kaag, Moscow, Idaho – Merton L. Bland, Arlington, Va. – Dennis Paterka, Chicago Nature of the beast Protect marriage No such thing Thank you for the much-needed article on marriage by Stanley Kurtz (“Man & Husband,” Decem- Congress cannot legislate on an issue that doesn’t exist. Nowhere in civil, legal or religious deﬁni- 4 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 tions of marriage is reference found involving two members of the same sex, not in the United States. Marriage between members of the same sex is a nonentity. In no way can these adoring couples procreate, which is the reason for marriage in the ﬁ rst place. – William Burns, Aurora, Colo. Crucial support With so many boys being raised without a father in the home, a group like the Scouts is even more necessary (“On My Honor, I Must Fight,” December). Boys beneﬁt from good male role models, and the Boy Scouts nicely ﬁ ll that need. They learn not only important practical skills, but also how to work together and the discipline necessary to reach long-term goals. I personally think many critics of the Scouts are jealous of the organization’s success. Please continue your support. This proud mother of an Eagle Scout and proud wife of a Legionnaire thanks you! – Beverly Shea, Waltham, Mass. Back to basics Boy Scouts of America can survive without United Way, as it did for years before United Way was invented. Scouts don’t have to wear a full uniform to show their Scouting spirit, and they don’t have to go to national jamborees to prove they are worthy of making Eagle Scout. Get back to the basics: a handbook, a program and loads of camping. This is what most boys want to begin with. The extra frills are unimportant. The volunteer is the backbone of Scouting, and we all know they get no money for that. So what’s the problem? – Jerry Barthelemy, Algood, Tenn. Sad state of affairs It is so sad that organizations such as the ACLU and even United Way condemn what the Boy Scouts have been doing for decades: developing boys into lawabiding citizens and future leaders of our country. The Boy Scout movement has always encouraged • Every year in the United States close to 700,000 people have a stroke.

All rights reserved. 20451518(1)(648C)-ZOC-CON who are prescribing a new medicine for you that you are taking ZOCOR® (simvastatin). ZOCOR can interact with the following: PLEASE READ THIS SUMMARY CAREFULLY, THEN ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT ZOCOR. NO ADVERTISEMENT CAN PROVIDE ALL THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO PRESCRIBE A DRUG. THIS ADVERTISEMENT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF CAREFUL DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR DOCTOR. ONLY YOUR DOCTOR HAS THE TRAINING TO WEIGH THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF A PRESCRIPTION DRUG FOR YOU. USES OF ZOCOR ZOCOR is a prescription drug that is indicated as an addition to diet for many patients with high cholesterol. For patients at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) because of existing heart disease, diabetes, vascular disease, or history of stroke, ZOCOR is indicated along with diet to reduce the risk of death by reducing coronary death; reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke; and reduce the need for revascularization procedures. WHEN ZOCOR SHOULD NOT BE USED Some people should not take ZOCOR. Discuss this with your doctor. ZOCOR should not be used by patients who are allergic to any of its ingredients. In addition to the active ingredient simvastatin, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: cellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, iron oxides, talc, titanium dioxide, and starch. Butylated hydroxyanisole is added as a preservative. Patients with liver problems: ZOCOR should not be used by patients with active liver disease or repeated blood test results indicating possible liver problems. (See WARNINGS.) Women who are or may become pregnant: Pregnant women should not take ZOCOR because it may harm the fetus. Women of childbearing age should not take ZOCOR unless it is highly unlikely that they will become pregnant. If a woman does become pregnant while on ZOCOR, she should stop taking the drug and talk to her doctor at once. Women who are breast-feeding should not take ZOCOR. WARNINGS Muscle: Tell your doctor right away if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness at any time during treatment with ZOCOR so your doctor can decide if ZOCOR should be stopped. Some patients may have muscle pain or weakness while taking ZOCOR. Rarely, this can include muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage. The risk of muscle breakdown is greater in patients taking certain other drugs along with ZOCOR: • Cyclosporine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, HIV protease inhibitors, the antidepressant nefazodone, or large quantities of grapefruit juice (>1 quart daily), particularly with higher doses of ZOCOR. • Gemfibrozil particularly with higher doses of ZOCOR. • Other lipid lowering drugs (other fibrates or >–1 g/day of niacin) that can cause myopathy when given alone. • Danazol particularly with higher doses of ZOCOR. • Amiodarone or verapamil with higher doses of ZOCOR. The risk of muscle breakdown is greater at higher doses of simvastatin. Because the risk of muscle side effects is greater when ZOCOR is used with the products listed above, the combined use of these products should be avoided unless your doctor determines the benefits are likely to outweigh the increased risks. The dose of ZOCOR should not exceed 10 mg daily in patients receiving gemfibrozil. The combined use of ZOCOR and gemfibrozil should be avoided, unless your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the increased risks of muscle problems. Caution should be used when using ZOCOR with other fibrates or niacin because these can cause muscle problems when taken alone. No more than 10 mg/day of ZOCOR should be taken with cyclosporine or danazol. The combined use of verapamil or amiodarone with doses above ZOCOR 20 mg should be avoided unless your doctor determines the benefits outweigh the increased risk of muscle breakdown. Your doctor should also carefully monitor for any muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, particularly during the initial months of therapy and if the dose of either drug is increased. Your doctor also may monitor the level of certain muscle enzymes in your body, but there is no assurance that such monitoring will prevent the occurrence of severe muscle disease. The risk of muscle breakdown is greater in patients with kidney problems or diabetes. If you have conditions that can increase your risk of muscle breakdown, which in turn can cause kidney damage, your doctor should temporarily withhold or stop ZOCOR. Also, since there are no known adverse consequences of briefly stopping therapy with ZOCOR, treatment should be stopped a few days before elective major surgery and when any major acute medical or surgical condition occurs. Discuss this with your doctor, who can explain these conditions to you. Liver: About 1% of patients who took ZOCOR in clinical trials developed elevated levels of some liver enzymes. Patients who had these increases usually had no symptoms. Elevated liver enzymes usually returned to normal levels when therapy with ZOCOR was stopped. In the ZOCOR Survival Study, the number of patients with more than 1 liver enzyme level elevation to greater than 3 times the normal upper limit was no different between the ZOCOR and placebo groups. Only 8 patients on ZOCOR and 5 on placebo discontinued therapy due to elevated liver enzyme levels. Patients were started on 20 mg of ZOCOR, and one third had their dose raised to 40 mg. Your doctor should perform routine blood tests to check these enzymes before you start treatment with ZOCOR and thereafter when clinically indicated. Patients titrated to the 80-mg dose should receive an additional test at 3 months and periodically thereafter (eg, semiannually) for the first year of treatment. If your enzyme levels increase, your doctor should order more frequent tests. If your liver enzyme levels remain unusually high, your doctor should discontinue your medication. Tell your doctor about any liver disease you may have had in the past and about how much alcohol you consume. ZOCOR should be used with caution in patients who consume large amounts of alcohol. PRECAUTIONS Drug Interactions: Because of possible serious drug interactions, it is important to tell your doctor what other drugs you are taking, including those obtained without a prescription. You should also tell other doctors • Itraconazole • Ketoconazole • Erythromycin • Clarithromycin • Telithromycin • HIV protease inhibitors • Nefazodone • Cyclosporine • Large quantities of grapefruit juice (>1 quart daily) The risk of myopathy is also increased by gemfibrozil and to a lesser extent other fibrates and niacin (nicotinic acid) (≥1 g/day). The risk of muscle breakdown is increased with other drugs: • Danazol • Amiodarone • Verapamil Some patients taking lipid-lowering agents similar to ZOCOR and coumarin anticoagulants (a type of blood thinner) have experienced bleeding and/or increased blood clotting time. Patients taking these medicines should have their blood tested before starting therapy with ZOCOR and should continue to be monitored. Central Nervous System Toxicity; Cancer, Mutations, Impairment of Fertility: Like most prescription drugs, ZOCOR was required to be tested on animals before it was marketed for human use. Often these tests were designed to achieve higher drug concentrations than humans achieve at recommended dosing. In some tests, the animals had damage to the nerves in the central nervous system. In studies of mice with high doses of ZOCOR, the likelihood of certain types of cancerous tumors increased. No evidence of mutations of or damage to genetic material has been seen. In 1 study with ZOCOR, there was decreased fertility in male rats. Pregnancy: Pregnant women should not take ZOCOR because it may harm the fetus. Safety in pregnancy has not been established. In studies with lipid-lowering agents similar to ZOCOR, there have been rare reports of birth defects of the skeleton and digestive system. Therefore, women of childbearing age should not take ZOCOR unless it is highly unlikely they will become pregnant. If a woman does become pregnant while taking ZOCOR, she should stop taking the drug and talk to her doctor at once. The active ingredient of ZOCOR did not cause birth defects in rats at 3 times the human dose or in rabbits at 3 times the human dose. Nursing Mothers: Drugs taken by nursing mothers may be present in their breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a woman taking ZOCOR should not breast-feed. (See WHEN ZOCOR SHOULD NOT BE USED.) Pediatric Use: ZOCOR is not recommended for children or patients under 10 years of age. Geriatric Use: Higher blood levels of active drug were seen in elderly patients (70–78 years of age) compared with younger patients (18–30 years of age) in 1 study. In other studies, the cholesterol-lowering effects of ZOCOR were at least as great in elderly patients as in younger patients, and there were no overall differences in safety between elderly and younger patients over the 20–80 mg/day dosage range. Of the 7 cases of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis among 10,269 patients on ZOCOR in another study, 4 were aged 65 or more (at baseline), 1 of whom was over 75. SIDE EFFECTS Most patients tolerate treatment with ZOCOR well; however, like all prescription drugs, ZOCOR can cause side effects, and some of them can be serious. Side effects that do occur are usually mild and short-lived. Only your doctor can weigh the risks versus the benefits of any prescription drug. In clinical studies with ZOCOR, less than 1.5% of patients dropped out of the studies because of side effects. In 2 large, 5-year studies, patients taking ZOCOR experienced similar side effects to those patients taking placebo (sugar pills). Some of the side effects that have been reported with ZOCOR or related drugs are listed below. This list is not complete. Be sure to ask your doctor about side effects before taking ZOCOR and to discuss any side effects that occur. Digestive System: Constipation, diarrhea, upset stomach, gas, heartburn, stomach pain/cramps, anorexia, loss of appetite, nausea, inflammation of the pancreas, hepatitis, jaundice, fatty changes in the liver, and, rarely, severe liver damage and failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Muscle, Skeletal: Muscle cramps, aches, pain, and weakness; joint pain; muscle breakdown. Nervous System: Dizziness, headache, insomnia, tingling, memory loss, damage to nerves causing weakness and/or loss of sensation and/or abnormal sensations, anxiety, depression, tremor, loss of balance, psychic disturbances. Skin: Rash, itching, hair loss, dryness, nodules, discoloration. Eye/Senses: Blurred vision, altered taste sensation, progression of cataracts, eye muscle weakness. Hypersensitivity (Allergic) Reactions: On rare occasions, a wide variety of symptoms have been reported to occur either alone or together in groups (referred to as a syndrome) that appeared to be based on allergic-type reactions, which may rarely be fatal. These have included 1 or more of the following: a severe generalized reaction that may include shortness of breath, wheezing, digestive symptoms, and low blood pressure and even shock; an allergic reaction with swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat with difficulty swallowing or breathing; symptoms mimicking lupus (a disorder in which a person’s immune system may attack parts of his or her own body); severe muscle and blood vessel inflammation, sometimes including rash; bruises; various disorders of blood cells (that could result in anemia, infection, or blood clotting problems) or abnormal blood tests; inflamed or painful joints; hives; fatigue and weakness; sensitivity to sunlight; fever, chills; flushing; difficulty breathing; and severe skin disorders that vary from rash to a serious burn-like shedding of skin all over the body, including mucous membranes such as the lining of the mouth. Other: Loss of sexual desire, breast enlargement, impotence. Laboratory Tests: Liver function test abnormalities including elevated alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin; thyroid function abnormalities.

Along comes the ACLU, saying we are not a legitimate open-minded organization and that we discriminate against gays. I don’t call it discrimination; I call it protection. What sane parent would want his young son to be led by a homosexual? It doesn’t make sense. – George Mouradian, Commerce Township, Mich. College a ‘relic’ I read the discussion on the abolishment of the Electoral College with disappointment (Big Issues, December). The individuals on both sides made superﬁcial, textbook arguments for keeping or abolishing the Electoral College system while completely ignoring some of the more contentious and outmoded reasons for its creation in the ﬁ rst place. The real purpose of the Electoral College was to protect smaller southern states from the political domination of northern non-slave states, and to ensure southern ratiﬁcation of the proposed constitution. The institution of slavery and other geopolitical issues that led to the adoption of the Electoral College are no longer relevant today. The Electoral College is a relic of bygone days and should be discarded in favor of direct election of the president. – Lawrence Calabro, Tucson, Ariz. Red vs. blue Abolishment of the Electoral College would reduce the importance of individual states in our federal system of government. We must remember that 50 states comprise this great nation. Even with the Electoral College system in place, it took a lot of “red” states to outweigh “blue” states in the 2004 election. Red states, by and large, have a different lifestyle and value system than blue states. Even though our states are less populated, our lifestyles shouldn’t be overridden by a national popular vote. If popular vote could elect a president, candidates would only court the high-population centers of our nation. A president so chosen would be illegitimate. – Ed Taylor, Brevard, N.C. Taxpayer voters I couldn’t agree more that the current system of electing our president and vice president needs an update. I do not agree, however, with any form of direct election. I do believe in what is bound to be a most controversial idea: allow those who pay for government to vote in national elections. Those who are current taxpayers and those with a reasonably long history of being taxpayers should be the ones deciding who will spend tax money and on what it will be spent. Code of ethics I salute Gen. Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong and The American Legion Magazine for believing successful leadership ﬂows from good ethics and moral clarity (“The High Road,” December). I participated in enhancing the Institute of Management Accountants code of ethics, which includes four basic ethical standards: integrity, objectivity, conﬁdentiality and competence. Although a few have violated them, the vast majority of accountants abide by the code of ethics. I challenge all organizations to adopt a code of ethics to encourage members to take the “high road.” – Grover L. Porter, Hendersonville, Tenn. Real conspiracies It’s amazing how the last election has made abolishment of the Electoral College such a hot issue. I can visualize all those Democrats looking at that map with the huge red area and their seemingly paltry blue states on the west and northeast coasts, plus the rust belt. Let’s see: take New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Oregon, Washington, and throw in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin ... that might swing the popular vote. Maybe a couple of others. You won’t ever see another bridge built with federal money in Wyoming or Alabama. How many states do we think the candidates will visit? Will congressmen from less-populated states even be invited to key meetings or appointed to important committees? Bad idea. This is a republic. I’m shocked that you saw ﬁt to publish Dennis McCafferty’s article “Modern Mythology” (November). While it is obvious the majority of these alleged conspiracies are true nonsense, a person should be able to quickly determine they are pure nonsense, nothing more than a gag. Britney Spears is the devil? Please. Does McCafferty think all conspiracies are absurd and unfounded? On the basis of factual documentation alone, the Salem witch trials were a conspiracy, as was the assassination of President Kennedy. Religious conspirators killed Jesus Christ. Islamic terrorists do indeed have as their ultimate goal the takeover of Middle Eastern oil ﬁelds, thus holding the world hostage. And has not every war in the history of the world been rooted in some kind of conspiracy? Not all conspiracies are cloaked in stupidity or intended to play on one’s gullibility. Some are indeed real, and a writer who attempts to negate that fact risks his credibility among thinking Americans. – Scott Anderson, Green Valley, Ariz. – Charles W.

All letters are subject to editing. The American Legion Magazine, P.O. Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206 • magazine@legion.org February 2005 7 The American Legion Magazine commander’s message Veterans can help military recruiters W hat is more difﬁcult than going to war? Sending your son or daughter to war. That’s why it is essential that we remain proud of our military service and emphasize the positive aspects of serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Each of these services, along with their Reserve and Guard components, offer cultural and life-changing experiences that can’t be duplicated anywhere else. Yet everyday that experience is denigrated by war critics and anti-military elitists. The latest example of this is a ludicrous decision by two federal judges allowing college campuses to ban military recruiters even while receiving funds from U.S. taxpayers. Free speech apparently does not apply to Army recruiters visiting Harvard. Despite the obstacles, all services except for the stretchedway-too-thin National Guard met their recruiting goals during the past ﬁscal year. We can do more to assist the services in their recruiting efforts. “We’re in an economy that’s growing, and it’s a higher quality of young men and women we’re recruiting,” says Maj. Gen. Michael Rochelle, head of the Army Recruiting Command. I met Maj. Gen. Rochelle during a Reconnect visit to Fort Knox with other Legionnaires in October. “These young men and women have options, and they’re very good at weighing those options. This is where you can help us. You can encourage those young men and women that this is the right option for them, or that it is not the right option. That’s where we need your help.” Rochelle says Legionnaires are qualiﬁed to serve as Army recruiters. “You have an opportunity to tell your story of service to our country,” he says. “You can pass that story on. In FY 2005, we’re going to need your help. Our richest partnerships are with veterans organizations. But we can make it better. We need your support now.” Gunnery Sgt. Brett Beard, a recruiter in Los Angeles, has been signing up Marines for ﬁve years. He believes the war in Iraq forces young people to consider the possible consequences of military service. “The people who were joining for education beneﬁts or ﬁnancial security are dropping off. The young guy looking for a little help is much less likely to enlist now. Instead, they are being replaced by those joining for patriotism. They are joining for the challenge and because they are concerned about the threats to America. We are still getting the people to join, but for different reasons.” As a father, I can’t imagine the agony family members of the deployed endure every time they hear a report of another Marine killed in Iraq or soldier slain in Afghanistan, wondering if they will soon hear the dreaded knock on the door. We have an all-volunteer force. I will not pressure my 26year-old daughter and 24-year-old son to join the military, and I don’t think others should pressure their own children either. But if they decide to pursue this noble path, they won’t have a stronger supporter. 8 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 National Commander Thomas P.

HARRIS O n a cool October night in 1917 rumors ran through Long Island’s Camp Mills that racists from Alabama’s 167th Infantry of the 42nd “Rainbow” Division planned an armed attack on blacks of the 15th New York Regiment. The rumors enraged the commander of the 15th’s K Company. Tall, solid as a rock and a former all-American football star at Harvard, Hamilton Fish Jr. was not about to let anyone run roughshod over the state’s ﬁrst all-black National Guard regiment. The 15th had seen enough resentment in the year since it was organized to make the men question whether going to war to make the world safe and free was worth it when true freedom for them at home did not exist. Only days before, they had been booted out of Camp Wadsworth in Spartanburg, S.C., for fear of a race riot. Sent to Camp Mills, the New Yorkers awaited orders to sail for France and the Western front where, ironically, they would be out of harm’s way. 12 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 Harlem’s Hell Fighters Fish, scion of a powerful New York family and a future founder of The American Legion, had persuaded the 165th Infantry – the old Fighting 69th – to supply bullets for his soldiers’ riﬂes. Now, with a loaded .45 hidden behind his back, Fish went in search of the troublemakers. He meant to defend his regiment in the gloom of night even if he had to shoot white soldiers to do it. Thinking back to that moment and all the racial incidents that the 15th faced in the early days of its existence, Fish wondered what might have happened if its men had ever lost their cool. “Oh, it would have been horrendous,” he wrote. Horrendous, indeed. For the black regiment, every step of the way had been blocked. The coming showdown at Camp Mills was just another barrier, but far from the last. Yet in the end, the 15th – later the 369th U.S. Infantry – persevered. At war’s end it had been in combat longer than any other regiment: 191 days. It never lost a foot of ground, nor were any of its men ever taken prisoner. And the French government awarded the Croix de Guerre to the entire regiment it respectfully called “Hell Fighters.” The story of these “Hell Fighters” begins in the quarter century ABOVE LEFT: Soldiers of the U.S. 369th Infantry Regiment train in the trenches on May 4, 1918.

The 15th, now redesignated the 369th Infantry, was attached to the 16th Division of the French Fourth Army. By mid-April, the Hell Fighters were in the Champagne sector northeast of Chalons, protecting a swath of the west bank of the Aisne River. It marked the ﬁ rst time black Americans entered the front line in the Great War. On the night of May 13, Henry Johnson, the Albany redcap, hunkered down in a listening post in no-man’s-land. He shared the mudhole with Pvt. Needham Roberts of Trenton, N.J. Out of the darkness, pitching grenades and ﬁ ring riﬂes, a German platoon attacked the two soldiers. Both Americans fell. Johnson suffered three gunshot wounds, but he got to his feet and singlehandedly met the rush. Using a bolo knife, he repelled the assault, certainly killing a half-dozen men. His fury forced the Germans to retreat. For his heroic stand, Johnson received the Croix de Guerre. Newspapers throughout the United States carried his story. Because one of America’s ﬁ rst war heroes was a soldier of color, the black community renewed its efforts to convince the president to repudiate lynching. Finally Wilson publicly stated that anyone taking part in a mob action is “no true son of democracy, but its betrayer.” The 369th Infantry was just getting warmed up. Transferred to the 161st French Division, the New Yorkers relieved a Moroccan battalion. In mid-July, they helped repulse a major attack, and for the 16 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 next two months took part in the drive by the Allies that forced the German army to retreat to the Hindenburg Line. Then, starting on Sept. 26, British, Belgian, French and U.S. armies began their all-out strike against the Germans. On that day, the Hell Fighters pushed forward under heavy artillery and machine-gun ﬁre. They stormed the heights of Bellevue Ridge, took the village of Ripont, crossed the Dormois River – turning it red with their own blood – and then battled to the outskirts of Sechault, a strongly fortiﬁed town that French Gen. Petain swore could not be taken. The attack proved costly, yet the New Yorkers – in ﬁerce streetﬁghting – drove out the Germans and captured Sechault. For its gallantry the entire regiment not only received the Croix de Guerre but also the honoriﬁc, “Hell Fighters.” The citation, in part, reads: “Though engaging in an offensive for the ﬁ rst time, (the 369th Regiment) fought with great bravery, stormed powerful enemy positions energetically defended, captured many machine guns, large numbers of prisoners and six cannon and took, after heavy ﬁghting, the Town of Sechault.” For his individual heroism, white Lt. George Robb earned the Medal of Honor. The taking of Sechault ended the 369th’s major combat operations. The regiment was then attached to the French II Corps and, following the armistice, led the Allies to the Rhine River. On Feb. 17, 1919, the 369th returned home to a tumultuous parade up Fifth Avenue and through the streets of Harlem. On the crowded sidewalks, taunts gave way to cheers as New Yorkers embraced their newest heroes. In the years and decades that followed, the Hell Fighters fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. The Empire State had its black National Guard Regiment, and these men of color were orphans no more. x Stephen L.

ZUMA Press Legion stands up for Scouts after ACLU-DoD settlement BY REES LLOYD A merican Legion National Commander Thomas Cadmus recently called on government ofﬁcials to “stand up to the ACLU,” fueling a ﬁrestorm of protest against fanatical in terrorem litigation by the American Civil Liberties Union against the Boy Scouts, the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial and every public expression of America’s religious history and heritage. The call from the Legion’s top ofﬁcial came in a blistering public denunciation of the Defense Department announcement that it would order military units worldwide not to sponsor Boy Scout troops, a partial surrender to an ACLU lawsuit ﬁ led in Illinois in 1999. Cadmus asked publicly, “What are the courts doing? ... Where is the outrage?” The public generally does not know the ACLU is proﬁting in such 18 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 cases by millions of dollars in taxpayer-paid “attorney fee awards” authorized under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S. Code Sec. 1988.

Box 25, Vergennes, VT 05491 www.drchipper.com tion to deny attorney fees to the ACLU under 42 U.S. Code 1988, which is the sole authority for awarding attorney fees. Delegates at the National Convention 2004 unanimously adopted Resolution 326, “Preservation of the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial,” which calls on Congress to amend the law and end judges’ authority to award attorney fees in cases brought “to remove or destroy religious symbols.” The Department of California sponsored Resolution 326 after a federal court in Riverside, Calif., for the ﬁ rst time allowed the ACLU to pursue a precedentsetting lawsuit to remove a solitary cross at what is now the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial. That case, Buono v. Norton, illustrates the ACLU’s fanaticism and disrespect for veterans, and it exposes the threat of further legal attacks on veterans’ memorials by the ACLU or others. In 1934, a private citizen strapped two pipes together to form a cross and mounted it on a rock outcrop in a remote, privately owned area of the Mojave Desert. The purpose was to honor the service of World War I veterans. President Clinton, as one of his last acts, issued an executive order incorporating the area in the Mojave National Preserve. The ACLU seized on that fact to ﬁle a federal suit to remove the cross in 2000. A district court ruled for the ACLU and awarded it more than $40,000 in attorney fees. Veterans protested, and Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., who represents the area, achieved legislation ofﬁcially establishing the site as the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial. The legislation authorized an exchange of the 1-acre site for ﬁve acres from a private owner, placing the memorial on private land. However, that did not satisfy the 20 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 fanatical ACLU. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held the case was “not moot” because the land exchange, although legislatively authorized, was not complete. Further, the court found the lead plaintiff – the ﬁ rst and sole remaining plaintiff – had legal standing to complain of civilrights injury. The lead plaintiff, Fank Buono, is a retired Forest Service employee who later moved to Oregon, but claims civil-rights violation and injury because he sees the cross when driving back on visits. ACLU’s attorney fee award for representing him was increased to $63,000. Upon such de minimis dross as this is constitutional law being made by judges, and the ACLU is proﬁting ﬁnancially, at taxpayer expense. They’re still at it. The ACLU ﬁ led a motion in District Court in December to declare the land exchange unconstitutional, claiming it doesn’t comply with the spirit of the injunction. Other examples of ACLU abuse are multiple, nationwide and glaring: n The ACLU reaped some $940,000 in settlement from the City of San Diego when it surrendered in ACLU’s litigation to kick the Boy Scouts out of Balboa Park. The Boy Scouts are appealing. The American Legion has ﬁ led a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the Scouts. n The ACLU received some $500,000 to drive the Ten Commandments out of the courthouse of Alabama Judge Roy Moore, notwithstanding the fact that the same Ten Commandments are on the massive doors and the wall of the U.S. Supreme Court itself. n Portland Public Schools were ordered to pay the ACLU $108,000 in a case brought for an atheist who objected to the Boy Scouts being allowed to recruit during non-class time. At the time of this writing, Portland is considering a complete ban. n The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, over the vigorous objection of Supervisor Michael Antonovich, joined by Supervisor Don Knabe, surrendered on a 3-2 vote to the ACLU’s demands that it change the county seal because of a tiny cross in one small panel representing the mission period of its history. The ACLU, exposing its hypocrisy as well as fanaticism, did not demand removal of the central religious ﬁgure dominating the seal – “Pomona,” the ItaloRoman goddess of poma, i.e. fruits. A citizens’ initiative petition is ongoing to place the issue on the ballot and overturn the surrender to the ACLU. n The city council of Redlands, Calif., reluctantly surrendered to the ACLU’s demand that it change its city seal to remove a cross, for fear of court-ordered attorney fees to the ACLU. Simply put, it is clear the ACLU has gone too far, exploiting the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S. Code 1988, to enrich itself and carry out in terrorem litigation to compel surrender to its demands from elected and appointed ofﬁcials who fear judge-awarded attorney fees. Claims by ACLU defenders that the organization once did public good in defending free speech, are vitiated by its fanaticism in selfenriching terroristic litigation and self-appointed social engineering in the present. American Legion National Resolution 326 calls for Congress to reform 42 U.S. Code Sec. 1988 to take the proﬁt out of such terroristic litigation.

The legal principles used by the ACLU to sue against the single cross at the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial are applicable to the 9,000 crosses and Stars of David at Normandy, along with those in every national cemetery. If Congress does not act, nothing in the law will prevent Islamist terrorists in the United States, or their sympathizers, from using the ACLU precedent to sue veterans’ memorials or the Boy Scouts, or anyone else over expressions of America’s religious history and heritage. And nothing stops the ACLU from collecting millions of taxpayer dollars as attorney-fee awards. Commander Cadmus has sounded the tocsin. “We are determined to stand up to the ACLU and, as ﬁrst step, to demand that Congress end the appalling practice of awarding attorney fees in the millions of dollars to the ACLU at taxpayer expense so they can use the courts to destroy American values.” x Rees Lloyd, a longtime civil-rights attorney, is past commander of American Legion San Gorgonio Pass Post 428 in Banning, Calif., and the author of Resolution 326. He was an ACLU of Southern California staff attorney for two years after graduating from law school in 1979. Article design: Doug Rollison ‘Where is the outrage?’ DoD’s settlement with ACLU launches Legion-led national debate, media barrage. The American Legion, according to one headline, was “aghast,” and the Department of Defense was “humbled,” by the American Civil Liberties Union last November. DoD agreed to partially settle a ﬁve-year-old lawsuit brought by the ACLU to prohibit sponsorship of Boy Scout programs at U.S. military installations. The settlement, reportedly handled by subordinates of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, came two weeks after attention to values was widely attributed to President Bush’s re-election. The agreement ignited a ﬁery national debate pitting the values of God and country against the constitutional interpretations of the ACLU, whose civil-rights activism was cast by some as a form of “legal terrorism.” In 1999, the ACLU of Illinois sued the DoD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Chicago Board of Education for sponsoring Boy Scout programs because participation includes an oath that has the words, “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country …” The Chicago Board of Education soon ceased sponsorship of Scouting activities. DoD was less hasty. The U.S. military sponsors more than 400 Scout units worldwide and supports the national Boy Scouts Jamboree in Virginia to the tune of about $2 million from the Army every four years. The settlement did not address the Jamboree. But the ACLU regards the DoD decision as only “partial.” Swiftly following the announcement, talk-show TV and newspaper editorial pages brimmed with public debate over the DoD’s concession. Bloggers soon joined the fray. Five days after the decision, the U.S. House of Representatives passed, 391-3, a non-binding resolution commending the Boy Scouts and condemning legal efforts to restrict government ties to them. The following is a small sample of public expressions in the days after the decision: “The idea that sponsorship of Scouting by American military units is ‘unconstitutional’ goes beyond the absurd, even well past the point of stupidity. How is it the government can fund chapels on military bases, and chaplains in the military, but not accommodate Scouting? How is it the Congress can sanction Scouting by issuing them a federal charter, but the courts can declare them ‘outlaws’? “Is there no one in Washington, D.C., at the highest levels of government that will stand up for Scouts, for Scouting and support this movement that has long been an institution of highest reputation in America? Where’s the president? Where’s his cabinet? Where’s the Congress?What are the courts doing? Where is the outrage?” – Letter from American Legion National Commander Thomas P. Cadmus to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, dated Nov. 16, 2004. As of late December, the secretary had not replied.

They want to attack the Boy Scouts of America and the Pentagon for supporting the Boy Scouts, and they want to support kids running around naked in the woods.” – Bob Bork, national spokesman for Boy Scouts of America, referring to an ACLU lawsuit ﬁled last year in support of a proposed children’s nudist camp in Virginia “What’s really happening here is, as we see it, we have young men and women … all over the world, 120 countries, in Afghanistan and Iraq, ﬁghting the global war on terrorism with courage and valor. And then we ﬁnd out the Pentagon caves in to legal terrorism right here in our own United States.” – American Legion National Adjutant Robert W. Spanogle, interviewed Nov. 17 on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” “The new big threat to our civil liberties is a group of 10-year-olds with walking sticks.” – Columnist Collin Levey, The New York Post “The voters of this nation, if it’s a choice between expanding NAMBLA (the North American Man/Boy Love Association, which the ACLU defended in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the parents of a 10-yearold killed by a member of the association) and preserving the Scouting movement, the voters of America want to defend the Scouting movement … Without a shot being ﬁred, Department of Defense lawyers apparently abandoned the Boy Scouts, threw up their hands and surrendered to the ACLU’s latest radical attack on the cherished heritage and values of this nation.” – U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., a former Eagle Scout 24 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 “Is the Department of Defense now going to treat the Boy Scouts as some kind of a pariah organization, not worthy of any kind of support? Being a part of a group, wearing a uniform, accomplishing tasks ... all of these things are conducive to the kind of culture that is endemic in the military. And for a young man to go from Cub Scout to Boy Scout to Eagle Scout to the armed forces, that’s a kind of lifetime progression ...” – Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Preparedness “Many of the men and women in the military who live on these bases have children who may want to be a member of the Boy Scouts. These devoted parents who serve this nation do not make much money as it is, and sadly they are sometimes asked to give their life in defense of freedom … If a base commander decides that the base should sponsor a local chapter of the Boy Scouts for the children of these parents, why should they not be allowed to do so?” – Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., in a letter to President Bush, asking for further investigation into DoD’s settlement with the ACLU “There is fresh evidence that the ACLU intends to end all federal support for the Boy Scouts of America. In their view, where there is government there cannot be faith.” – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., after introducing his “Save Our Scouts” bill on Nov. 27 to continue federal support for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts “It is a national security issue. The Department of Defense has conceded to a false and atheistic notion about military conduct. A military that must avoid God upon hearing the wimpy threats of the ACLU is hardly suited to deal with those who would destroy us in the name of Allah.” – Former Eagle Scout and Web columnist Hans Zieger Manufacturer’s Recall Alert Attention Vioxx Victims ® I f you have taken the pain reliever Vioxx and have suffered a heart attack or stroke, or if someone you love has died after taking Vioxx, you may be eligible to file a claim against the manufacturer and potentially collect significant financial compensation.

No Greater Glory The sinking of the troop carrier USAT Dorchester by a German submarine in the icy waters off Greenland was one of the worst sea disasters of World War II. It was also the occasion of an astounding feat of heroism and faith by four chaplains – a priest, a rabbi and two ministers. Chaplains George Fox, Alexander Goode, Clark Poling and John Washington left their mark on a single night of war, forever changing the lives of those they saved. The following is an excerpt of their story as told by Dan Kurzman in his book “No Greater Glory.” BY DAN KURZMAN A t about 4 p.m. on Jan. 29, 1943, the Dorchester creaked northward out of the dock at St. John’s, Newfoundland, together with ﬁve other craft in a new, bare-bones convoy called SG 19. The convoy comprised two freighters, the Biscaya and the Lutz … and three U.S. Coast Guard escorts – the Tampa, a 240-foot heavy cutter, and the Escanaba and Comanche, 165-foot cutters that had served as Great Lakes icebreakers in the early 1930s. The cutters were part of the Greenland Patrol, established in June 1941 to protect ships and bases in the North Atlantic. The Tampa was the convoy’s senior ship and carried not only its own commander but also the convoy commander, Capt. Joseph Greenspun, who would issue all orders pertaining to speed, course and formation. Since radios were silent to avoid enemy interception, signal lamps would transmit all inter-ship communications. The Biscaya sailed on the starboard side of the Dorchester, the Lutz on the port side; the Comanche and Escanaba patrolled farther out, about 2,000 yards from the Dorchester, slightly astern of it on the port and starboard sides, respectively. The Tampa, with speed matching 26 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 the Dorchester’s, churned the waters about 5,000 yards in front of the former luxury liner, plowing a winding, evasive course intended to thwart a U-boat attack. This formation would later be criticized by the commander of the task force the cutters belonged to. U-boats, in so-called “wolf packs,” infested the Strait of Belle Isle, aptly referred to as “Torpedo Junction,” between Labrador and Newfoundland Island. They had already sunk scores of Allied ships in these swirling waters. Hardly had the Dorchester reached the open sea when galeforce northwest winds propelled it through towering waves that John Pearse, chief boatswain’s coated much of the ship with ice mate on the Tampa, and many of and stirred fears, which were his shipmates were puzzled.

Their courage must never be forgotten. Although the storm ﬁ nally calmed, most of the men were still sick and could not focus on the threat of a torpedo attack. February 2. At about 3:30 p.m., the Tampa, which, as the escort commander, had been in the vanguard seeking signs of danger, blinked a terse message to the Dorchester: “We are being followed. Submarines estimated in our vicinity. Inform all ships to close up tightly and stay closed for the night.” Dorchester’s Capt. Hans Danielsen told his ofﬁcers that if the Dorchester was not torpedoed by midnight, U-boats would ﬁ nd it difﬁcult to operate because of icebergs in the area, and by the next morning the ship would be in Greenland. The problem now was to let the men know that there might be danger ahead without alarming them, and he would do so at dinner. At about 6:30 p.m., the voice of Capt. Danielsen blared over the loudspeaker: “Now hear this: Every soldier is ordered to sleep with his clothes and life jacket on. Repeating, this is an order! We have a submarine following us.” A grim silence reigned as the men stopped eating, their appetites suddenly gone. But then Chaplain Fox stood up and said it was time for a party. The amateur night that the chaplains had planned for a day earlier was called off because of the storm, but the sea was calmer now, and quite a few men who had been too nauseated to eat now showed up for dinner. Anyway, this would be the last evening meal on the ship, which was less than 100 miles from Greenland. Many men remained in the mess hall until about 11:30 p.m. Father Washington sat at the old piano from the Dorchester’s pleasure-cruise days playing popular tunes, as he once had for his parishioners, while the other chaplains, with their melodious voices, helped him lead the audience in a songfest. For the ﬁ rst time, in a sense, the four chaplains were doing what they had wanted to do when they volunteered to serve in the war. To their great disappointment, they had not been sent to the battlefronts of Europe or Asia. But this peripheral war zone had become the front line for the men on the Dorchester. February 2005 27 The American Legion Magazine The Immortal Chaplains The Rev. Clark Poling Rabbi Alexander Goode The Rev. Clark Poling, a Dutch Reformed minister, was the son of a famous radio evangelist, Dr. Daniel Poling. Growing up, the younger Poling thought of becoming a lawyer. But during one vacation at his family’s country home in New Hampshire, he climbed to the top of a mountain, where he hoped to somehow communicate with God. When he came down, he told his father that a Moses-like revelation had triggered a spiritual awakening in him and that he would now become a minister. Rabbi Alexander Goode was both a brilliant scholar and a champion athlete. He won prizes in debate and oratory, and wrote thought-provoking treatises on U.S. and Middle East history. Often expressing pride that an illustrious ancestor had fought under Napoleon, he had a strong sense of duty. He also had an almost obsessive desire to spiritually revitalize the world. When Poling became pastor of a Dutch Reformed church in Schenectady, N.Y., he turned the small, dormant parish into an active, overﬂowing congregation that rejoiced in his inspirational sermons. Some children thought he was Jesus himself. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, Poling hoped to join a ﬁghting unit and take the risks of the common soldier. He joined the chaplains’ corps when his father told him the casualty rate among chaplains was greater than that for others. Poling left for war begging his father to pray that he would never be a coward. The chaplains followed up with visits to the staterooms to raise spirits of the men, and Father Washington held services in the mess hall, attended by men of different faiths. February 3. At 12:55 a.m., there was a great crash, followed a second later by a mufﬂed explosion. A torpedo from German U-boat 223 smashed the Dorchester amidship slightly aft on the starboard side near the engine room, ripping a hole from below the waterline to the top deck. The explosion opened the way for a virtual tidal wave that ﬂooded the engine room, drowning the oilers and engineers who hadn’t already been scalded to death by vapor escaping from the broken steam pipes and burst boiler. At the same time, the ﬂood 28 The American Legion Magazine February 2005 Serving as a rabbi in a synagogue in York, Pa., Goode invited Christian leaders to speak there.

For this edition, a rare book is under consideration. As The Americanologist, one of my great joys in life is to find something “old” from American life that is “new” to me, and few objects hold my interest as strongly as a hardcover book from the distant past. I have collected a working library of books on history, culture, politics, nature, fiction, biography, and science, primarily but not limited to the American experience. I find them in some of the most interesting places, scavenging across the country on my travels, tucked away in flea markets, thrift and antique stores, as well as the occasional independent used bookstores specializing in dusty old books. Combined with the fact that I tend to seek out the American battlefield landscape, the souls of the men lost often drift through the mist and settle on the pages of the treasures I find. In my own trips, from Gettysburg and the Shenandoah in the east to Chattanooga and Atlanta in the west, small corners of Americana yield great treasures of pages printed generations before my birth. Coming across a first edition of a classic is one of those moments when I feel the joy I first felt when my parents presented me with a full pictorial youth encyclopedia set on American history when I was about 10 years old. Sometimes my find is an early reprint of a book that sold well in its first contemporary offerings, when the people whose lives were changed by the U.S. Civil War were interpreting and collecting their own history. To know something of the battle, of the people and places where a loved one fell was a human need, and these works provided a way to reach out and touch their fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers lost, often never recovered home. As rewarding as my find is when I gain a copy near a battlefield, this was truly a war that touched every life in the nation, and those stories echoed beyond the grim space of the campaigns, assaults, and defensive positions. There are classic first editions and reprints scattered across the nation, and I have found them in some of the most unlikely places. One of my prized finds came from a barn on the Old Mission peninsula in the Traverse City area of Michigan, where we came across an antique shop whose owner had passed away and the estate was now in the process of liquidation. A very clean first edition Volume II of The Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, printed in 1885, was tucked into the corner of a shed. In discussion with the deceased owner’s daughter, who served as the estate executrix, a fair price was paid on a book that had not been marked for sale by her father. When she offered to sell the book for $20, not sure of its value in the mountain of items her father had acquired, I had to decline the price, offering instead $50 to her as a more equitable deal. My wife patiently waited while we scoured the area for the first volume of the set, which, if it was in the same shape as the second, would have fairly priced the set at over $200. (Sotheby’s has a set of the originals rebound listed for $4,500 currently, a bit out of my price range!). Unfortunately, there was no match to be made. The book rests now on my fireplace mantle, mixed in with several other unique finds, including a first edition of T.E. Lawrence’s Revolt in the Desert, from which David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia cinematic masterpiece was born. There is a first edition of Father Duffy’s Story, the priest’s view of New York’s Fighting 69th, the national guard regiment activated into the Rainbow Division in World War I. This Irish regiment earned its own Civil War glory, which included its mass absolution by Father Jerome Corby before it marched out into the Wheatfield as part of the Union’s “Irish Brigade” at Gettysburg on July 2nd to meet the enemy. The key to being a good hoarder of a particular item is to never quit looking. Recently, on an impromptu date night with my wife, we drove up to Dundee, Michigan to get a bite to eat at one of our favorite comfort food restaurants, River’s Edge. While we put our names in for a table, we went next door to CK Antiques and Restorations, looking for a particular piece of antique furniture which had eluded us for some time. We were in luck, they had a table which met our extended search. With our decision made, we had some time to browse. The first section I always head for when we are not engaged on a specific hunt is the one with books- and in just a few minutes, I spied two volumes of a set, in a special display, wrapped in plastic, unlike the majority of the holdings. Finding a book given special treatment by a shop is always an intriguing prospect, and reading the spine of the first, I could not believe my eyes. I was holding a first edition of The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866, Volume VI, printed in 1888. This volume covered the early officially reported histories of Ohio volunteer infantry regiments numbered 70 through 86. These units were organized in the call from President Lincoln in the summer and fall of 1861 for the states to form men into regiments committed to 3 years of warfare after the realization that an army of volunteers committed for 90 days would have no impact on the secession of the south and the restoration of the nation. This also meant that the Radical Republican goals of the immediate and full abolition of slavery in North America would remain a seemingly impossible outcome. Here, north of Ohio, nowhere near a Civil War battlefield, was the book which held the official roster report that includes great-great grandfather Lamont’s regiment, the 82nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. It had a torn lower spine cover but was it not missing any printed area, and from the outside the pages looked worn but intact, but wrapped as it was, I needed to inspect the inside. My wife knew by the sound of my voice and the look on my face that I had truly found something wonderful, and the fact I was babbling excitedly and bounding toward her removed any doubt. Priced at $60, there was no way I was not taking this home with me. The store’s owner, Cassie, offered to unwrap the book so I could inspect it fully before purchase, and she also patiently endured the sudden appearance of a 10-year-old history nerd in front of her, recounting the importance of the find. One of the unique human traits we share is the need to assign meaning to our lives. Among the many ways this occurs are the attachments we place on not only relationships with people, but to ideas, places, experiences, and objects that can transport us across time. As a public historian, I consider the preservation of archival material and artifacts a crucial duty in not only preserving the memory and history of the nation, but also a sacred bridge that helps us to make and interpret meanings by connecting us to deep reservoirs of knowledge and community. For me, the physical book in my hand, which contains information which is easily accessible on the internet now, brought me one step closer to uncovering my family’s story in the lives of Lamont, his brother William, and cousin, Solomon. To add this to my small stack of curated books was a grand moment! As a trio, Lamont, William, and Solomon statistically represent a fair approximation of the mortal experience of the northern volunteer infantryman in the war. William died in May of 1863 of typhus in Virginia and is buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. He was a second-year man who never saw a major battle, joining his younger brother, Lamont, one of the original 1861 men, in the fall of 1862 after the unit fought at Second Manassas. William had come to the unit after the two brother’s cousin, Solomon, went home disabled in October of 1862 out of the Shenandoah Valley, after the unit’s first battle at McDowell. Virginia. These facts are recorded in this volume, but additional research yielded Solomon’s fate, death at home in the last week of June of 1863, the result of his disability. Only Lamont survived the 3-year commitment to the cause, serving in a regiment that experienced a unique combination of defeats and victories across its 3 and a half years of battle. The statistics of the 82nd OVI officially recorded in the book now held in my hand are not a new revelation, the contents of the records are preserved digitally and accessible to all with internet access at the Official Roster of the Soldiers of State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861 - 1866 through The Hathi Trust, a blessing of modern technology for the ghosts of the Union. Modern military veterans provide proof of their eligibility for benefits with their DD-214, the U.S. Department of Defense’s abbreviated testimony to an individual’s service which includes periods of federal service during wartime or campaigns. In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, there was no standardized means for an individual to prove his service, and this impacted the veterans themselves, their widows and orphans, and the communities which had committed their men to the war. A mix of state and federal benefit programs had been created, but they were incomplete in their impact and access to eligible citizens. It was not until the advocacy of the Union veterans through the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) from the end of the war and into the 1880s that a true federal pension system was established. These documents from the state of Ohio, ultimately consisting of twelve volumes, were essentially the state’s required testimonials to a soldier’s honorable performance of their commitment (volunteer or otherwise) in the great war that shaped the modern nation. But the book has another strange link to my grandfather. On the inside cover of the book, there are three names listed as the signatories for the official records authorized by the Ohio General Assembly, to preserve and testify to the histories of the men and their units in the great war of rebellion. On this volume, the first is the governor of the state in 1888, Joseph B. Foraker, a veteran of the 89th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, whose unit fought as part of Palmer’s XIV Corps, also part of George Henry Thomas’ Army of The Cumberland. Foraker was also at Resaca, the Dallas battle line (Dallas, New Hope Church, Pickett’s Mill), Kennesaw, and Peachtree Creek, a shared experience with grandfather Lamont. A second name on the title page is H.A. Axline, the Adjutant General of the State of Ohio in 1888. Henry Augustus Axline is considered the “Father of the Ohio National Guard.” Axline also served in the Civil War, enlisting at the age of 15 in the 159th Ohio Volunteers, a 100-day unit formed in 1864, but outside of the 1864 battle at Monocacy Junction, gained limited battle experience during his short enlistment. Finally, the book is signed by James S. Robinson, Ohio’s Secretary of State in 1888. General Robinson was Lamont’s regimental commander in the 82nd Ohio at Gettysburg, leading the regiment out into the field north of the town, advancing forward of its hasty picket fence defensive position on July 1st in a doomed attempt to protect the exposed right flank of the Union’s I Corps. Targeted from its left by artillery above it on Oak Hill and pressed from the front by the confederate forces of Ewell’s 2nd Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, the 82nd moved forward 150 yards beyond its support on the left and right, drawing fire and shifting the attack away from the right flank of I Corps temporarily. The maneuver proved costly to the regiment, with 18 of its 20 officers wounded or killed on the first day, including Colonel Robinson, wounded as he led the troops forward on his horse. James Robinson recovered and returned to serve with the 82nd Ohio, promoted to Brigadier General and brigade commander in the western theater in Alpheus Williams’ division of Hooker’s XX Corps. Robinson had enlisted in 1861 as a captain originally with the 4th Ohio, Company G, and was transferred to the 82nd OVI as a Major in early 1862. Now as brigade commander, he led the 82nd OVI as part of his brigade throughout the Atlanta Campaign, Sherman’s March to the Sea, and then finally in its march through the Carolinas to destroy Joe Johnston’s army as Sherman moved toward Richmond to join Ulysses Grant in finishing off Lee and ending the war. Robinson had risen politically after the war as a U.S. House representative from Ohio and was elected as Secretary of State. As I opened the book it was apparent that it was well-used, and the spine cracked and loosened, which required holding the front cover firmly, to avoid further damage. Flipping through the pages to find the 82nd OVI’s sections, which begins on page 507 and ends on page 567, I was disheartened to find that the exact pages (521 through 532) that held both Company C and D’s roster had been removed from the book, sliced out carefully. “Murphy’s Law,” a shorthand explanation for the often-frustrating nature of the universe, had snatched the most important pages from my grasp. There is no way to know why these specific pages were removed, but a likely answer comes from the economic realities facing Civil War veterans, and the fact that reproductive technology was not available to them as they struggled to prove their service. These pages served as the soldier’s DD-214, and without them, the process of applying and receiving benefits was more than difficult. Of the 6,000 original copies of this printing, many were collected by local community groups, the GAR itself, and held by state and federal repositories to use as reference for the claims made by veterans and survivors. The issue of back-payment and ongoing remission of pensions to the soldiers and their dependents with proof of marriage for death and disability payments required affidavits, appearances before local judges, the collection of marriage records, birth and death certificates. In the case of disability pensions (under federal invalid programs specifically for veterans) a regular medical examination by a local board-certified physician was required on a regular basis, to testify that a particular veteran was physically unable to work. For grandfather Lamont, a resident of Defiance, Ohio at the time of his death in 1929, his last invalid pension examination copy, available from the National Archives and Records Administration which still holds these records, occurred in February of 1929, at his recorded age of 90. The sworn affidavit signed by D.J. Slosser, MD, of the Defiance County Medical Society, on June 5, 1929, notes that, along with a list of maladies and a recent stroke, “if the intent of the law is ‘complete Disability’ and applies to any man, it surely applies to Mr. Cupp.” Even though Lamont had been on the Civil War Invalid Pension roll since the late 1890’s based upon medical conditions that had begun during the Atlanta campaign and required his hospitalization in Atlanta, after the 82nd Ohio was one of the first union regiments to enter the city, his continued payments required recertification. In this case, it involved the efforts of his local congressman, C.J. Thompson. Representative Thompson had intervened after the claim had been received first by the federal government in September of 1927 and languished in the bowels of the bureaucracy, an experience not unlike veterans that would follow him throughout the rest of the 20th century and now into the 21st. I did collect this treasure, and Cassie made a fair adjustment to the price based upon the missing pages, a kindness I appreciate. The book now sits on the mantle, next to U.S. Grant’s memoir volume II, awaiting its companion should I ever be fortunate enough to find a matching first piece, when once again the 9-year old who felt as if struck by lightning in the field north of Gettysburg in 1972 can reappear in a slightly grayer and older version in some dusty bookstore, flea market, or antique store.

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.

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.

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.

She was one of two children born from the union of James and Mable (Duncan) Cupp. Ka	en			https://merklefh.com/tribute/details/8000/Kathleen-Joseph/obituary.html	Kathleen Cupp was born in Monroe, Michigan on January 1, 1954. She was one of two children born from the union of James and Mable (Duncan) Cupp. Kathie attended Monroe High School, graduating in 1972. She would move to Tennessee for a short period of time. Spending many years as a single parent, Kathie worked hard to provide for her two sons. Later, Kathie met the love of her life, Bill Joseph. The couple wed on June 24, 1994 in Monroe and with his daughter, created a blended family. Kathie took a medical retirement from Lake Erie Transit in 1997, after working there for 18 years as a bus driver. Upon retirement, she found much joy in being a homemaker and working in her vegetable garden. Whatever vegetables Kathie was not canning, she was sharing with friends and family. Not being one who needed extravagant things, she was content with the simpler things in life, especially her Reeses and Coke that she often sent Bill to the store to get. Some of Kathie’s fondest memories were created on their annual family trips to Tennessee. She loved the state so much that she called it, “God’s Country.” These trips only enhanced her beautiful smile. As a wife, Kathie was very loving and had a strong will about her. So much, that she could win every argument. As a mother, she was also a friend, who you went to for advice. Kathie was understanding and forgiving. As a grandmother, she was everything to her grandchildren and gave the absolute best hugs. She was a mom to many and will be greatly missed. Kathleen Joseph, age 67, of Monroe, Michigan passed away on Thursday, January 7th, 2021, at her home, surrounded by her loving family. In addition to her passing, she is preceded by her parents; and her grandson; Zane. To cherish her memory, she leaves her husband: Bill Joseph; two sons: Jeremy Standifer and Jamie Standifer; stepdaughter; Katie (Jon) Landoto; her grandchildren: Giselle, Caleb, Bryce, Mallory, Marissa, Jalen, and Allison; her sister; Nancy (Jim) Weier and her loving dog Maxie, who followed her everywhere she went. Arrangements have been entrusted to Merkle Funeral Service, North Monroe; 2442 North Monroe Street, Monroe, Michigan 48162 (734) 384-5185. A private memorial will be held at a later date.

REYNOLDS Franklin M. Reynolds was born November 21, 1853, and departed this life April 3, 1910, aged 56 years, 4 months and 12 days. He was married March 21, 1880 to Miss Ida Riggs. Five children were born to this union: Ethel O., Philip I., Thurman J., Lynden E., and Frances E. He united with the Zoar Baptist Church in the year 1879, Rev. J. R. Shingleton being the pastor who baptised him into the membership, and he remained a faithful member until the organization of the church at Clay Point, July 7, 1883, when he became a member of that organization, now extinct). He was clerk of this church during its existence, also Sunday School Superintendent, until his health failed him. When the first Baptist Church of this city was organized some eleven years ago he identified himself with it, and retained his membership here till his Master said, "It is enough", and on the morning of April 3 he was transplanted into the Church Triumphant on the shores of eternal bliss. He has been identified with many of the interests of this county; his counsels were always safe, conservative, and yet progressive He was a friend of the cause of religion; a man of deep conviction, yet had charity with all respecting other men's opinions. He was not one of those that was carried about with every wind of doctrine; he tried things until he proved them and then held to that which was good. Funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church of St. Marys April 5, by the pastor, Rev. M. F. Kiger, assisted by Rev. J. R.

(Gerald Bills) The Oracle, St. Marys, WV, 17 Nov 1905 ISAAC O. REYNOLDS Isaac O. Reynolds passed away at two o'clock on Sunday morning, November 12, at the home of his brother, Frank M. Reynolds, Grape Island, after having been confined to the house about two weeks with illness. He had been in poor health for some time, but had made no complaint, and his condition was not regarded as serious until he was compelled to return unexpectedly from a vacation trip that he had made to the East. On his return he attempted to resume his position in the Pleasants County Bank, but a brief trial convinced him that it was unwise, and he yielded to the advice of physician and friends and sought rest at the home of his brother. But in spite of the fact that he knew he was suffering from a mortal disease, cancer of the liver, he continued to exercise supervision as far as he could over the affairs of the bank. The deceased was the youngest son of Isaac and Cassie (Bills) Reynolds and was born February 4, 1865. He received his first instruction in the St. Marys school, and afterwards attended the Marietta ... that time residing in Harmar. After leaving the academy, he learned the art of printing, and practiced the occupation at Sutton, in Braxton county. Returning to St. Marys; he taught school several terms, and in 1885 was appointed Deputy Sheriff under his brother, D. W. Reynolds. He filled this office in a highly creditable manner, and was continued in the position under Sheriff R. A. Gorrell and again under his brother, making a consecutive service of twelve years. On October 23, 1895 he was married to Lucy Clifford, daughter of Mrs. Emma J. (Clifford) Patterson. Their happy wedded life was terminated by the sad death of his wife and child on the 9th day of October 1896. In the year 1897 he assisted in incorporating the Pleasants County Bank, the first institution of the kind established in this city, and was appointed its cashier a position which he filled with universal approbation up to the time of his death. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, and was also a member of the secret society, A.F. & A.M., and its kindred organization, the Knights of Pythias. His was a quiet life. He keenly delighted in the society of his friends, and was possessed of a remarkably even and cheery nature, never making an enemy that we have heard of. Ever since our first knowledge of him, he and his mother, with the exception of a few intervals, occupied the old family residence at the corner of Lafayette and Second streets and in which it is said the first court of Pleasants county was held. The funeral, which occurred on Tuesday, November 14, was the largest ever held in the county. The Masonic fraternity took charge of the remains and brought them from Grape Island to this city at 3:30 in the afternoon. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Protestant Church and opened for a last look at the departed, and the funeral procession wended its way to the cemetery, where interment took place under the management of the Masonic Brotherhood, the remains being lowered into the grave at sunset. The pall bearers were James M. Oldfield, Walter F. Varner, F.J. Hinderliter, Julius A. Schauwecker, Charles Steere and Dr. John B. Watson. The floral offerings were magnificent, testifying strongly the esteem and affection in which the deceased was held. (Gerald Bills) The St. Marys Oracle - 15 May 1884 JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS IN MEMORIAM Death is a sad visitor. It comes unbidden, but often not without a warning, and it leaves the home desolate indeed. Sickness, which is sometimes a precursor of dissolution, only adds to the endearment. Each member of the family in health would willingly suffer in his stead; and when Death finally with his icy hand removes the one thus doubly endeared, each bereaved one seems to think that he or she could have been better spared. God giveth as he sees fit, and taketh away as he likes. Consolation can only come from Heaven. We will no further attempt it. JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS, the subject of these remarks, was born in Pleasants county, West Virginia, August 3, 1861. At the age of sixteen he commenced to learn the printing trade, and at seventeen he started to travel, working in several offices in the Southern States. In the year 1881 he entered into partnership with William Devine, and started the "Rio Grande Vally." in Brownsville, Texas. The partnership lasted about a year, when Joseph became the sole proprietor of the paper. He remained in Brownsville during the yellow fever siege of 1882, and passed through the trying ordeal. In June 1883, he returned home in impaired health, and remained here with his mother and friends until his death, which occured May 10, 1884. His disease, which was pronounced consumption, was brought on by over-exertion in his work and lack of proper out-door exercise. He was ambitious, and attempted to excel by his own strength, but his constitution gave way under the severe strain, and he returned home a mere physical wreck of his former self. The best medical skill country could afford [sic] was consulted, and all that willing hands and loving hearts could do was exerted for his recovery, but the fell destroyer had seized with a hold that baffled human skill. Death came to him peaceful, and he passed away as calm as the May morning. The friends desire to express their gratitude to the physicians for their efforts in his behalf. They also remember kindly Mrs. Conrad, who, though a stranger, gave all assistance in her power to alleviate the suffering and to console those who mourn a loss that cannot be restored. They also feel themselves under obligations to Green Ruttencutter for his services in officiating at the obsequies. The large concourse of people that attended the funeral expresses the estimation in which the deceased was held by those with whom he grew up. (Gerald Bills) St. Marys Oracle - 4 June 1970 LYNDEN E.

The deceased was a native of Circleville, O., and her remains were taken to that place Saturday for burial. She leaves a husband and three small children to mourn their loss.

The deceased was born on Waverly, Pike county, Ohio, but moved with her parents to Circleville, in the same state, when but a child. There she spent her entire life until she came to St. Marys about 15 months ago. She was married to Mr. Rife nearly 13 years ago. Of this happy union 5 children were born, of whom 3 survive. Her maiden life was happy and as she expressed it, "without a cloud." Sister Rife had a sunny disposition and those quiet virtues which so adorn domestic life. Throughout her entire sickness she never murmured nor complained, but waited with quiet resignation the summons which she realized would call her into the higher life of the Spirit. It was the privilege of the writer to talk with her many times in her last illness, and she always spoke with absolute confidence of the future. indeed, as she neared the tender land of the invisible world, her confidence grew into knowledge until she said, "there is no doubt, no dark cloud." Sister Rife was a member of the Methodist Protestant church, having joined on profession of faith. A short memorial service was held at the house Saturday morning of April 5, for the benefit of the many friends to whom she had become endeared before and during her affliction. The body was then taken to Circleville for interment. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of all in this, the darkest hour of human life. - M. D. Helmick (Gerald Bills) J.

(Michael Anderson) CYNTHIA ANN RIGGS St. Marys Oracle - July 23, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs, 38, of Minneapolis, Minn. was killed July 2, 2003 by a falling tree during a storm while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Ely, Minn. Her fiance David Sagula suffered injuries to his face and shoulder. She was born July 7, 1964, daughter of Bill and Connie Riggs of Valley Forge, Pa. Her background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's degree) and the University of Wyoming (PhD). She had been the clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses.] Survivors, in addition to her parents is and fiance, include a sister, Riggs-Le Picart of New York City; and grandfather Blaine Riggs of St. Marys. Memorial services were July 8 at the Minnesota Zon Meditation Center in Minneapolis. She and her fiance had planned to marry in December. OBITUARY: Minneapolis Psychologist's Free Spirit Recalled Nolan Zavoral, Star Tribune Published July 8, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs had the kind of contagious optimism that drew people to her, even if it meant following her to Patagonia. "That was one of the trips we went on -- to Patagonia, in Chile," said her friend Jennie Leskala. "She convinced me we could trek, without training, in the Andes Mountains. "It rained, it snowed, but we kept marching. Her famous line was, 'How hard can it be?' I'll miss that the most about her." Riggs, a Minneapolis psychologist who would have celebrated her 39th birthday Monday, died last week while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with her fiancé, David Sagula, 42, also a Minneapolis psychologist. Inside a tent, they were caught in violent straight-line winds on the night of July 2. A 100-year-old red pine, 16 inches in diameter, was uprooted and fell on the tent, grazing Sagula and knocking him unconscious and crushing Riggs, said Chip Elkins, a law-enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service who assisted the Lake County Sheriff's Office with rescue and recovery. Sagula, bruised on the face and shoulder, said he "woke from a daze with a bad headache" and saw that the tree had pinned Riggs. "I tried to move it -- I tried many, many times," he said Monday night from his home. "I tried to move her sleeping bag from under it, but nothing. I was panicky. It was surreal." Sagula said he could not find Riggs' pulse. The couple, engaged two months ago, planned to marry in December. "Part of me knew she was gone. Part of me could not believe it," he said. Riggs' cell phone didn't work, so Sagula set off from Basswood Lake -- on the Canadian border, about 20 miles northeast of Ely, Minn. -- for help. Eventually, he found campers who called for help. Elkins, who flew in on a float plane, said, "This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but it does happen." A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. today at the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, 3343 E. Calhoun Pkwy., in Minneapolis. Riggs is survived by her sister, Susan, of New York City, and her parents, Bill and Connie, from suburban Philadelphia. Riggs -- whose academic background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's) and the University of Wyoming (Ph.D.) -- had been clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses. She had begun working as a volunteer in that area when she was in high school. "It was her life-long passion, to help those that society has cast aside," Sagula said. "She was intelligent and beautiful, and she could have worked with the rich if she wanted to take that route. "But that wasn't her. She wanted to work with those who'd been left behind."

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.

E-mail: ude.cma.liam@jnotrah Copyright © Society for Leukocyte Biology FcγR signaling activates the NLRP3 inflammasome via Syk to facilitate development of protective immunity to Ft LVS. Keywords: macrophage, IL-1β, vaccine Abstract IgG (mAb)-opsonized, inactivated Francisella tularensis LVS (iFt-mAb) enhances TLR2-dependent IL-6 production by macrophages via Fcγ receptors (FcγR). In mice, vaccination with iFt-mAb provides IgA-dependent protection against lethal challenge with Ft LVS. Because inflammasome maturation of IL-1β is thought important for antibody-mediated immunity, we considered the possibility that iFt-mAb elicits an FcγR-dependent myeloid cell inflammasome response. Herein, we find that iFt-mAb enhances macrophage and dendritic cell IL-1β responses in a TLR2- and FcγR-dependent fashion. Although iFt-mAb complexes bind FcγR and are internalized, sensing of cytosolic DNA by absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is not required for the IL-1β response. In contrast, ASC, caspase-1, and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) are indispensable. Further, FcγR-mediated spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) signaling is required for this NLRP3-dependent IL-1β response, but the alternative IL-1β convertase caspase-8 is insufficient. Finally, iFt-mAb-vaccinated wild-type mice exhibit a significant delay in time to death, but IL-1R1– or Nlrp3-deficient mice vaccinated in this way are not protected and lack appreciable Francisella-specific antibodies. This study demonstrates that FcγR-mediated Syk activation leads to NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β production in macrophages and suggests that an Nlrp3- and IL-1R–dependent process contributes to the IgA response important for protection against Ft LVS. These findings extend our understanding of cellular responses to inactivated pathogen-opsonized vaccine, establish FcγR-elicited Syk kinase-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and provide additional insight toward understanding crosstalk between TLR and FcγR signals. Keywords: macrophage, IL-1β, vaccine Introduction In response to pathogens, myeloid cells initiate innate inflammatory processes mediated in part by the production and secretion of cytokines. Cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, are important for neutrophil and macrophage recruitment, for activation of these phagocytes to clear invading organisms, and for facilitating development of adaptive immunity. Specifically, whereas IL-1β promotes innate defense against various pathogens [1 –3], it also enhances pathogen-specific, protective Ab responses [4] and is required for adjuvants, such as alum [5], to marshal vaccine-elicited, Ag-specific Abs [6]. Elaboration of IL-1β requires two essential events: expression of pro-IL-1β and its subsequent enzymatic cleavage by caspase-1 to generate active IL-1β. Abundant expression of pro-IL1β, mediated via the NF-κB pathway, is initiated by various surface receptors, most commonly TLRs [7]. Caspase-1 maturation of IL-1β requires assembly of a multiprotein inflammasome complex, which promotes autocatalytic cleavage of procaspase-1 to active caspase-1 [8]. Assembly of the widely studied NLRP3 inflammasome is triggered by varied agonists ranging from pathogen-associated molecules (toxins) to environmental (asbestos) or cell damage–associated agonists (cholesterol, uric acid) [9]. The mechanisms leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation are poorly understood. Other caspase-1–activating inflammasomes include those containing AIM2, activated upon binding cytosolic dsDNA; NLRP1, which responds to anthrax lethal toxin; and NLRC4, a sensor for flagellin [10]. Caspase-1–independent IL-1β processing has also been observed. For example, caspase-8–mediated IL-1β maturation follows dectin-1 recognition of Candida and subsequent Syk kinase signaling, initiating assembly of a caspase-8–activating complex containing MALT1, Bcl-10, and CARD9 [11]. Caspase-8 may also be involved in mechanisms contributing to NLRP3 inflammasome activity, including processing of procaspase-1 [12]. Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis is the causative agent of lethal human tularemia in North America. The current live-vaccine strain (Ft LVS) is an attenuated strain derived from Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica, the more common disease-causing subspecies in Europe and Asia. The inflammatory cytokine responses of in vitro macrophages to both live and killed Ft are weak, and even after i.n. challenge, proinflammatory responses in the lung are markedly delayed [13, 14]. TLR2 [14 –16] and AIM2 [17 –19], sensing bacterial lipoproteins and dsDNA, respectively, are involved in recognizing live Ft and appear important for Ft-elicited inflammatory cytokine production and IL-1β processing. Accordingly, despite seemingly modest inflammatory cytokine responses, TLR2- and Aim2-deficient mice are more susceptible to Ft LVS and Fn U112 infection, respectively, than WT mice [14, 17]. Antioxidant enzymes present in live Ft are thought to limit necessary activation of the TLR2 signaling cascade, leading to blunted TNF-α and IL-6 production [20], whereas reduced host-mediated bacterial lysis appears to limit the inflammasome response [21]. Although capable of engaging TLR2, killed Ft and phagolysome-escape mutants fail to access cytosolic pattern recognition receptors, such as AIM2 and NLRP3, leading to diminished inflammasome activation [22, 23]. Protection against Ft LVS requires both humoral and cellular immune responses [24]. Vaccination with live Ft LVS affords incomplete protection in humans [25], which may be explained by limited proinflammatory responses insufficient to support necessary Th cell responses [26]. However, in mice, killed Ft LVS opsonized with an anti–iFt-mAb resulted in an IgA-dependent protection against respiratory tularemia that required the common γ chain of FcγR [27]. The mechanism by which this iFt-mAb strategy confers protection is unknown but is likely important for developing FcγR-targeted vaccine strategies. FcγRs are expressed by hematopoietic cells and bind the constant portion of IgG Abs, mediating either activating or inhibitory signals important for phagocytosis, Ag presentation, and promoting or restricting lymphocyte functions (for a review, see [28]). Human and mouse activating FcγRs include FcγRI (CD64) and FcγRIII (CD16). Humans also have activating FcγRIIa/c (CD32), whereas FcγRIV is exclusive to mice. All these contain either an ITAM motif (FcγRIIa/c) or associate with the ITAM-containing common γ chain (FcγRI, FcγRIII, and FcγRIV) essential for FcγR activation of the Src/Syk kinase pathway. Upon ligation of FcγR, the ITAM motifs are phosphorylated by members of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, leading to the recruitment of Syk, which is then activated by phosphorylation [29]. In contrast, human or mouse FcγRIIb (CD32) inhibits the Src/Syk pathway through an integral, phosphatase-activating ITIM motif. Targeting Ag to FcγR improves humoral and cellular immune responses in the absence of adjuvant and, as such, is a valuable vaccine strategy, especially for mucosal immunity [30 –32]. In the case of iFt-mAb vaccination, IgA-mediated protection against Ft LVS requires the FcR common γ chain, suggesting involvement of FcγRI, FcγRIII, and/or FcγRIV [27]. However, how FcγR mediates the enhanced vaccine response of iFt-mAb is not fully understood. At the cellular level, iFt-mAb enhances IL-6 secretion and the Ag-presentation capacity of macrophages and DCs in an FcγR-dependent fashion [33, 34]. In addition, immunization with iFt-mAb–pulsed DC was also protective against lethal Ft LVS challenge and enhanced Ab production [35]. iFt-mAb appears to influence other parameters important for protection, including activation of lung DCs, increased DC production of IL-12, and expansion of IFN-γ-producing effector memory CD4+ T cells [36], which appears to require inflammatory macrophages and a greater proinflammatory cytokine response [37]. How FcγR signaling promotes these cellular effects is unclear. Engagement of FcγR by immune complexes has different outcomes depending on the signal context. Immune complex costimulation of TLR and FcγR can activate or inhibit signaling pathways leading to cytokine responses, depending on the tonicity of the signals [38]. For example, immune complexes elicit a synergistic TLR- and FcγR-mediated DC activation promoting a proinflammatory Th17 response [39]. Similar activating crosstalk has been demonstrated using other human myeloid cells [40, 41]. In contrast, the proinflammatory cytokine response of mouse bone-marrow macrophages to various inflammasome agonists was inhibited by the presence of immune complexes [42]. Given that inflammasome-dependent IL-1β appears necessary for successful vaccination [43, 44] and that FcγR engagement enhances macrophage production of other proinflammatory cytokines [33, 37], we examined the capacity of the iFt-mAb vaccine platform to elicit an IL-1β response. We find that, in cooperation with TLR2, FcγR engagement directs the activation of an unanticipated, kinase signal-dependent, NLRP3 inflammasome response mechanism. We also observe that the NLRP3/IL-1 axis is important for protective Ab responses following iFt-mAb vaccination, implicating FcγR-mediated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome as both a relevant adjuvant pathway and a potential target for treating immune-complex disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell culture The human monocytic cell lines THP-1 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and THP-1 deficient in NLRP3 (THP-1defNLRP3; InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) were cultured, as recommended by the suppliers, in RPMI-1640 (HyClone; GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) with 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, Flowery Branch, GA, USA) and 0.1% Pen/Strep (CellGro; Corning Life Sciences, Tewksbury, MA, USA). Hygromycin (200 µg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added to THP-1defNLRP3 culture every other passage to maintain selective pressure. THP-1defNLRP3 cells were passaged once without selective antibiotic before seeding. Unless otherwise indicated, THP-1 cells were seeded at 2.5 × 105 cells/ml in 24-well tissue culture dishes and stimulated with 100 nM PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) overnight (16–18 h) to elicit adherence and a more macrophage-like phenotype. BMDM were isolated from femurs of 8-wk-old mice as described previously [45]. Briefly, femurs were flushed with DMEM and red blood cells lysed with ACK buffer (Lonza Inc., Allendale, NJ, USA). Cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% L929-cell supernatants for 1 wk before use. For all experiments, BMDM cells were seeded and allowed to settle and attach overnight (about 18 h) before stimulation and were stimulated without LPS. BMDCs from femurs processed as for BMDMs were differentiated with mouse recombinant Flt3 ligand (50 ng/ml; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 9 d. Mouse strains WT C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Taconic Biosciences (Hudson, NY, USA). IL1R1 KO (B6.129S7-Il1r1tm1Imx/J) and Aim2 KO (B6.129P2-Aim2Gt(CSG445)Byg/J) mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Caspase-1/11 KO [46], Asc KO [47], and Nlrp3 KO mice on the C57Bl/6 background [48] were kindly provided by Dr. Timothy Sellati (Caspase-1/11 and ASC KO) and Dr. Jenny Ting (Nlrp3 KO). For some experiments, WT mice were directly supplied from Taconic Biosciences, otherwise all mice were bred in house. All mice were housed in the Animal Resources Facility at Albany Medical College under specific-pathogen–free conditions for at least 2 wk to facilitate equilibrium of intestinal microbiota. All experimental procedures were approved by the Albany Medical College Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and the Institutional Biosafety Committee. Reagents and Abs Mouse IgG2a monoclonal anti–F. tularensis LPS (mAb) was purchased from Fitzgerald Industries International (Acton, MA, USA). Mouse anti-human CD32 (clone AT10) and anti-human CD64 (clone 10.1) Abs were from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA) and were used at 10 and 5 µg/ml, respectively. Rat anti-human TLR2 polyclonal Ab (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used at 100 ng/ml. PP1 (10 µM), PP2 (10 µM), and piceatannol (5 µM) (all from EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) were dissolved in DMSO. Caspase-8 inhibitor (z-IETD-fmk, 50 µM in DMSO) was obtained from Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (Farmingdale, NY, USA). Polybead carboxylate microspheres (1 µm, PolySciences, Inc., Warrington, PA, USA) were coated with 200-µg mAb using the PolyLink Protein Coupling kit (PolySciences, Inc.), according to the included protocol. Uncoated beads were washed twice in 0.4 ml PolyLink Wash/Storage buffer (from the kit) and resuspended in 0.4 ml PolyLink Wash/Storage buffer. Coated or uncoated beads were diluted in media before cell stimulation. Growth of Ft LVS, inactivation of Ft, and immune complex formation Live Ft LVS was obtained from the Albany Medical College Microbiology Core Facility. Bacteria were grown in modified Mueller-Hinton broth (Difco MH broth; BD Biosciences, East Rutherford, NJ, USA) with ferric pyrophosphate and IsoVitalex (BD Biosciences), and aliquots of midlog-phase growth cultures were stored in liquid nitrogen [49]. The viability of frozen aliquots of bacteria and the inocula dosage after serial dilution in PBS were confirmed by colony counting. Formalin-inactivated Ft LVS (iFt) and immune complexes were prepared as described in Rawool et al. [27]. In brief, 1 × 1010 CFU/ml live bacteria were fixed for 2 h with 2% paraformaldehyde in sterile PBS, followed by 3 washes with PBS, and were resuspended in a final volume of 1 ml, generating a final approximate iFt stock concentration of 1 × 107 iFt/µl. For vaccination with 2 × 107 iFt, 20 µl of a 1:10 dilution of the stock was used. Anti-Ft mAb (5 µg/ml except as indicated) was added to iFt in 100 µl sterile PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C with rocking. Cell cultures were stimulated with iFt immune complexes diluted with RPMI 1640. Stimulation of cell cultures BMDM-, BMDC-, or PMA-treated THP-1 were stimulated for 24 h with iFt or iFt-mAb in RPMI 1640 media at 100 MOI (based on the stock concentration of 1 × 107 iFt/μL). Cells were incubated with blocking Abs (30 min at 4°C) or chemical inhibitors (30 min at 37°C) before stimulation. ATP (5 mM, Sigma-Aldrich) was used as an NLRP3 inflammasome activator and added to cells for the final 30 min of stimulation. Cell supernatants were harvested 24 h poststimulation and clarified by centrifugation. Human IL-1β or TNF-α (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or mouse IL-1β or TNF-α (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) in cell-free supernatants was assayed by ELISA. Human IL-18 was assayed using ProcartaPlex Simplex bead sets (eBioscience) and a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Immunofluorescence staining PMA-treated THP-1 was cultured on sterile glass coverslips overnight in RPMI media. The following day, cells were stimulated at 37°C with iFt-mAb for 0, 15, and 60 min. At each time point, cover slips were removed from medium and fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. Fixed coverslips were stained with anti-IgG2a–Alexa Fluor 488 (1:250 dilution) for 1 h, washed using fixative containing media, permeabilized with 0.02% saponin, and subsequently stained with anti-IgG2a–Alexa Fluor 594 (1:250 dilution). Because the mAb used in the iFt-mAb complex is an IgG2a isotype, this immunofluorescence staining procedure labels extracellular iFt-mAb complexes green and the intracellular complexes red. Coverslips were mounted onto slides using FluoroGel II containing DAPI (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA). Images were taken using an Olympus 1X81 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and Fluoview FV1000 laser (Olympus). Images were analyzed using Olympus Fluoview FV10-ASW software. Caspase-8 activity assay BMDM were seeded at 5 × 104/ml in a 96-well plate and either treated with vehicle or caspase-8 inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK in DMSO for 30 min before stimulation with iFt or iFt-mAb for 24 h. All treatments were performed in triplicate, and assays were conducted on 3 separate occasions. Caspase-8 activity was determined using a luminescence detection kit from Promega (Madison, WI, USA) per the manufacturer’s supplied protocol. Background luminescence was subtracted from sample values. Average activity was normalized to WT BMDM stimulated with iFt. Immunization and challenge studies WT B6 mice, Nlrp3 KO mice, and IL1R1 KO mice (2 sets of mice, 10 each genotype per set, age 6–8 wk with equal numbers of males and females) were subjected to the immunization and challenge strategy, as described previously [27]. In brief, iFt-mAb (equivalent to 2 × 107 bacteria with 1 μg of anti-LVS mAb) was delivered by drop-wise i.n. administration in a total volume of 20 µl, 10 µl per nare on day 0 and again 21 d later. At 35 d (14 d postboost), mice were challenged i.n. with 20,000 CFU of Ft LVS in a 40-µl bolus to a single nare. Following challenge, mice were observed for survival twice daily. For challenge studies, 2 sets of WT or IL1R1 KO mice (6 of each genotype per set, age 7 wk) were challenged i.n. with an LD50 of Ft LVS (500 CFU) in a single 40-µl bolus and monitored for survival twice daily. Serum anti-Ft LVS Ab determination Serum from the mice prechallenge was analyzed for Ft LVS-specific IgA or IgG. A 96-well plate was coated with Ft LVS (1 × 107 CFU/ml) in 100 μl carbonate buffer [4.3 g/L sodium bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich) and 5.3 g/L sodium carbonate (Sigma-Aldrich), at pH 9.4]. Following overnight incubation at 4°C, plates were washed (PBS/0.05% Tween 20) and blocked with PBS/10% BSA. Two-fold dilutions of serum, starting with 1:25, were applied in duplicate to the ELISA plate and incubated at 22°C for 2 h. Captured serum Abs were detected with an anti-IgA or anti-IgG Ab conjugated to HRP and incubated 1 h at 22°C. Following washes, TMB substrate (Sigma-Aldrich) was applied, incubated for 20 min at 22°C, and stopped by the addition of 25 μl of HCl; absorbance at 450 nm was read on a Epoch plate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA). Absorbance at 450 nm was used as a relative measure of Ab levels. IgA and IgG A450 values were normalized to unvaccinated serum Ab values. Statistical analysis All experiments represent at least 3 independent experiments, unless otherwise mentioned. A P value of ≤0.05, calculated using a 2-tailed, unpaired Student’s t test, was considered statistically significant. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test (Mantel-Cox). Supplemental Fig. 1 demonstrates that FcγR crosslinking by mAb-coated beads is insufficient to elicit IL-1β production in the absence of iFt. Supplemental Fig. 2 shows that Syk can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in a reconstituted system in the absence of an activator. RESULTS Immune complexes trigger enhanced IL-1β production in macrophages and DCs A novel Ab complex vaccine approach, using inactivated Ft LVS and anti-Ft LPS Ab (iFt-mAb), results in full protection against lethal respiratory challenge with Ft LVS and partial protection against the highly virulent Ft SchuS4 in mice [27]. The importance of the inflammasome and the IL-1 response for promoting adaptive immunity and subsequent Ab production [5, 43, 44, 50, 51] led us to consider whether iFt-mAb complexes elicit an inflammasome-dependent IL-1β response. Killed Ft does not escape the phagosome and fails to elicit much IL-1β from macrophages, suggesting limited induction of inflammasome activation/IL-1β processing activity by iFt alone [13, 23, 52]. Because engaging FcγR through addition of an opsonizing Ab to iFt stimulates protective immunity and greater TNF-α and IL-6 production, we reasoned that iFt-mAb might also stimulate a more-robust IL-1β response. Therefore, we examined the ability of iFt and iFt-mAb to elicit production of IL-1β from macrophages and DCs. We measured TNF-α production as an indicator of NF-κB activity and the subsequent induction of pro-IL-1β message [53]. Although IL-1β secretion by BMDM stimulated with iFt alone was not significantly greater than that of untreated cells, stimulation with iFt-mAb induced a significant, 3-fold increase in IL-1β secretion over media alone ( ). Stimulation with the iFt-mAb complex similarly enhanced TNF-α production at 24 h ( ). IL-1β and TNF-α production by BMDC was also enhanced by iFt-mAb, suggesting an analogous response to iFt-mAb complexes among myeloid cells ( ). Inflammasome usage and the magnitude of the IL-1β response differed between mouse and human macrophages [49, 54]. Therefore, we further examined the IL-1β response to iFt-mAb using the human THP-1 monocytic/macrophage cell line. THP-1 not pretreated with PMA produced little IL-1β with iFt, iFt-mAb, or even live Ft LVS (data not shown and [49]); therefore, subsequent experiments used PMA-treated THP-1. Although PMA-treated THP-1 cells infected with live Ft LVS produced abundant IL-1β [49], quantities from iFt-stimulated THP-1 cells were limited ( ). However, iFt-mAb complexes significantly enhanced IL-1β elaboration 2–3-fold, with a similar impact on TNF-α production. IL-1β production following stimulation with mAb alone or with mAb-coated beads was similar to untreated controls ( and Supplemental Fig. 1); thus, both iFt and mAb are required for the enhanced response. For all cells tested, the Ab-enhanced IL-1β response to iFt was dose dependent ( ), and at 10 μg/ml Abs, the IL-1β response approached that previously reported for cells infected with live Ft LVS [49, 55]. Treatment with iFt-mAb for 24 h did not significantly diminish cell viability as measured by lactate dehydrogenase release (data not shown), indicating that the IL-1β detected in culture supernatants does not reflect pro-IL-1β released from dead cells. Thus, opsonization of iFt with mAb enhances IL-1β elaboration by both mouse and human myeloid cells iFt-mAb–induced IL-1β production is dependent on NLRP3-inflammasome components IL-1β maturation typically results from processing by activated caspase-1 [8], although some other proteases also enzymatically process IL-1β [56]. IL-1β production following iFt-mAb stimulation was dramatically diminished in caspase-1/11–deficient BMDM ( , left panel). Curiously, caspase-1–deficient BMDMs also produced less TNF-α than WT cells did after iFt-mAb stimulation ( , right panel), perhaps because of the NF-κB–activating properties of caspase-1 [57]. Nevertheless, caspase-1 or caspase-11 or both are important for the IL-1β response to iFt-mAb. As expected, the IL-1β response to iFt-mAb was diminished in ASC-deficient BMDMs, and TNF-α production was maintained ( ). As expected, in iFt-mAb–stimulated, PMA-treated THP-1, caspase-1 activity was increased over iFt alone, as measured by p10 release, whereas mAbs alone did not appreciably activate caspase-1 (data not shown). Together, these results suggest involvement of an ASC-dependent inflammasome (e.g., NLRPs and/or AIM2) and demonstrate that diminished TNF-α production by iFt-mAb–stimulated Casp1/11 KO cells is not due to the lack of an ASC-dependent inflammasome. In mice, recognition of cytoplasmic dsDNA by Aim2 leads to inflammasome-generated IL-1β and is essential for mouse survival following infection with Fn U112 [17, 18]. In contrast, Fn U112 and Ft LVS elicit both NLRP3- and AIM2-dependent inflammasome responses in human-derived macrophages [49]. However, all of these studies rely upon live bacteria, which must escape the phagosome to elicit IL-1β [23]. Greater than 80% of formalin-fixed Ft colocalize with CD63 (LAMP-1) in the late endosome and persist in this compartment for at least 16 h following removal of extracellular Ft [22]. Thus, it is unlikely that nonviable iFt or its products, such as the bacterial DNA, have significant access to the cytosol or Aim2. Indeed, IL-1β elaboration by Aim2-deficient (Aim2 KO mice) BMDM after iFt-mAb stimulation was comparable to that of WT BMDM ( , left panel). However, Aim2 is required for IL-1β production following Fn U112 infection ( , left panel), but Aim2 deficiency does not generally impair the inflammatory response of these cells because TNF-α was not reduced ( , right panel). Thus, in mouse cells, iFt-mAb likely triggers an IL-1β processing pathway distinct from the Aim2 inflammasome. In contrast to the dsDNA-restricted response of AIM2, the NLRP3 inflammasome is responsive to multiple microbial and environmental stimuli, including various endogenous agonists [9]. Nlrp3-deficient (Nlrp3 KO) BMDM treated with iFt-mAb failed to produce additional IL-1β above that seen with iFt alone ( , left panel) but remained responsive to live Fn U112 (data not shown and [49]), demonstrating that NLRP3 is required for iFt-mAb–mediated, enhanced IL-1β response. TNF-α elaboration was again unaffected ( , right panel), demonstrating an otherwise intact innate response. Consistently, NLRP3-deficient THP-1 responded with reduced IL-1β, but equivalent TNF-α ( ), suggesting that mouse and human macrophage IL-1β responses to iFt-mAb are similarly dependent on NLRP3. Collectively, these data indicate a requirement for an Nlrp3, but not Aim2, inflammasome for iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β production by macrophages. IL-1β production by iFt-mAb is FcγR dependent Maturation of IL-1β by activated macrophages requires proIL1B transcription to generate an available pool of pro-IL-1β for proteolytic processing. PMA treatment of THP-1 modestly increases pro-IL1B expression over non-PMA–treated control cells, but further stimulation is needed for robust expression of pro-IL-1β and subsequent maturation [49]. Stimulation of PMA-treated THP-1 cells with mAbs alone had no impact on pro-IL-1β mRNA levels; however, iFt elicited an approximately 8-fold increase (similar to that observed with live Ft LVS infection [49]), which is not enhanced further by iFt-mAbs (data not shown). Thus, the increased IL-1β protein secretion observed with iFt-mAb is most likely a consequence of proteolytic processing of the available pro-IL-1β and not a simple increase in available pro-IL-1β. Further, the NLRP3 inflammasome pathways appear fully activated by iFt-mAbs because the addition of the NLRP3 agonist ATP after stimulation of PMA–THP-1 for 24 h with iFt or iFt-mAbs elicited equivalent IL-1β ( , top panel). However, when cells were stimulated with mAbs followed by ATP, no significant increase over ATP alone was observed, indicating that mAb does not substitute for TLR-dependent signaling. Active caspase-1 also cleaves pro-IL-18, which, unlike IL-1β, is constitutively expressed; thus, IL-18 processing more directly indicates inflammasome activation. Macrophage IL-18 increases following iFt-mAb stimulation relative to iFt alone, confirming inflammasome activation by the immune complex ( , bottom panel). Addition of ATP following iFt stimulation did not increase IL-18 production over that of iFt alone, ATP alone, or mAb + ATP, suggesting that the full response requires both iFt and mAb. Addition of ATP did not significantly increase IL-18 after iFt-mAb stimulation, consistent with prior activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. These results suggest that mAb acts at the level of inflammasome activation and is unlikely to drive the initial signals leading to pro-IL-1β expression. It is noteworthy that iFt-mAb enhances in vitro maturation of murine BMDC by facilitating increased binding and uptake of iFt via the FcγR [34]. Given that the NLRP3 inflammasome is required ( ), we considered whether binding and internalization of the iFt-mAb complex by FcγR was necessary to elicit the inflammasome response. Prior addition of a commercially available mixture of human serum–isolated FcγR-blocking Abs to THP-1 cells decreased binding resulting in a lack of internalization of iFt-mAb ( ), confirming that iFt-mAb binds via an FcγR that facilitates phagocytic uptake in these cells. However, phagocytosed Ab complexes are degraded in the lysosome, and, beyond providing MHC II presented peptides to the endosomal compartment [34], are unlikely to facilitate iFt access to the cytosol, suggesting that FcγR-mediated signals might be involved. PMA-treated THP-1 cells express the kinase-activating receptors FcγRI (CD64) and FcγRII (CD32) but lack FcγRIII (CD16) [58]. To further confirm that FcγR contributes to inflammasome activation and to establish the involvement of CD64 and/or CD32 in iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β production, specific blocking Abs [59, 60] were used. IL-1β production by iFt-mAb–stimulated THP-1 cells was significantly reduced in the presence of anti-CD64 alone and in combination with anti-CD32 ( , top panel), indicating involvement of FcγRI. In agreement with reports that FcγR signals enhance TNF-α and IL-6 secretion [33, 39], anti-CD64 treatment also diminished TNF-α production ( , bottom panel). Anti-CD32 (FcγRII) alone failed to reduce iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β or TNF-α production, suggesting that FcγRII engagement is not required. However, anti-CD32 cannot distinguish between activating FcγRIIa/FcγRIIc and inhibitory FcγRIIb; thus, we cannot exclude the involvement of negative signals. Blockade of FcγRI/CD64, although not completely ablating production of IL-1β, did reduce IL-1β production to the approximate level seen with iFt alone (data not shown), consistent with an FcγRI-mediated signal promoting inflammasome activation. TLR- and FcγR-dependent kinase signals are also required for iFt-mAb–mediated IL-1β production Production of active IL-1β requires expression of pro-IL-1β and inflammasome component proteins in an NF-κB–dependent step, typically provided by TLR signaling [7]. Consistent with recognition of live Ft by TLR2 [14 –16], pretreatment of THP-1 cells with TLR2 blocking Abs significantly reduced iFt-mAb–stimulated IL-1β production to levels approximating those seen with iFt alone ( , top panel). TLR2 blockade also reduced TNF-α production elicited by iFt, iFt-mAb, or the TLR2 agonist PAM3CSK ( , bottom panel). Antibody blockade had a minimal impact on iFt-elicited IL-1β production; however, the anti-TLR2 Ab also failed to completely block activation with PAM3CSK, suggesting that the incomplete blockade of TLR2 by the Ab is more likely than activation of other receptors by iFt. Stimulation with the mAb alone resulted in no increase in either IL-1β or TNF-α secretion ( ), consistent with the TLR2 dependence of these responses. Thus, TLR2 signaling is necessary for iFt-mAb–enhanced IL-1β production. FcγR engagement also elicits a tyrosine kinase-dependent signal cascade [28, 61], which might drive or enhance inflammasome activation. Indeed, Syk, a kinase activated by FcγR engagement, has been implicated in the activation of Nlrp3-dependent IL-1β maturation, although this role is controversial [2, 62 –65]. However, even exposure to mAb-coated beads expected to cross-link FcγR and activate Syk was insufficient to elicit an IL-1β response without the addition of iFt (Supplemental Fig. 1). Thus, to examine whether signals downstream of FcγR elicit IL-1β maturation in conjunction with TLR2, THP-1 cells were incubated with kinase inhibitors targeting Syk (piceatannol) and Src (PP1 and PP2) before iFt-mAb stimulation. All the inhibitors significantly decreased mAb-enhanced IL-1β and TNF-α, returning them to iFt-alone stimulated levels ( ). Thus, the increase in IL-1β and TNF-α resulting from immune complex stimulation requires both Syk and Src kinase activity. Collectively, the production of IL-1β, subsequent to iFt-mAb stimulation requires TLR2 signaling, is FcγR dependent and requires activation of the FcγR-associated Src and Syk kinases. Caspase-8 activity is necessary but insufficient for FcγR-mediated IL-1β Our data strongly support a role for Syk in iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β production. Of note, internalization-independent fungal recognition by dectin-1 activates Syk leading to a caspase-8–dependent IL-1β-processing complex comprising Malt1, Bcl10, Card9, and caspase-8 [11]. This Syk-dependent fungal response is independent of caspase-1. We, therefore, considered the intriguing possibility that iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β might also result from Syk-dependent caspase-8 activation. As caspase-8 deficiency results in embryonic lethality, we used the caspase-8 inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK to address this question. Treatment of WT BMDM with Z-IETD-FMK markedly reduced IL-1β after 24 h of iFt-mAb stimulation ( ), suggesting the involvement of caspase-8. Because caspase-8 can influence caspase-1 activity [12] and possibly affect IL-1β production, we examined the effect of caspase-8 inhibition using BMDM deficient in caspase-1. IL-1β production was not increased in Casp-1 KO BMDMs following iFt-mAb stimulation ( ), and caspase-8 inhibitor had no further effect on IL-1β production by Casp-1 KO cells. TNF-α production was not significantly impaired by the caspase-8 inhibitor, indicating that deficient IL-1β production is unlikely to result from nonspecific effects of the inhibitor ( ). These results suggested that caspase-8 might be responsible for IL-1β processing in response to iFt-mAb, but it is dependent on caspase-1. To establish whether caspase-8 activity is dependent on caspase-1, we measured caspase-8 activity after iFt or iFt-mAb stimulation. It is interesting that caspase-8 was active in both iFt- and iFt-mAb–stimulated WT BMDM, and addition of caspase-8 inhibitor nearly abrogated this activity ( ). Because caspase-8 is active in the absence of FcγR engagement, this suggests that Syk activation is not required for caspase-8 activity in iFt-stimulated BMDMs and, thus, that caspase-8 does not correlate with the iFt-mAb enhancement of IL-1β production. Further, in Casp-1 KO cells, caspase-8 activity was comparable to that of WT BMDM ( ). Therefore, because caspase-8 activity is maintained under conditions in which iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β maturation is lost, caspase-8 activation is not sufficient for IL-1β processing. Instead, IL-1β processing appears to be dependent on both caspase-1 and caspase-8, whereas caspase-8 activation is independent of caspase-1. This suggests a more-complex relationship between these caspases than described previously. However, if caspase-8 cleavage of pro-IL-1β was the principal mechanism, as in the dectin-1 system, sustained caspase-8 activity in iFt-mAb–stimulated Casp-1 KO BMDM should have resulted in full production of IL-1β. The insufficiency of caspase-8 and the dependence on caspase-1, together with the need for NLRP3, supports the conclusion that IL-1β cleavage in this system relies on the canonical NLPR3 inflammasome. IL-1 and NLRP3 have a role in iFt-mAb vaccination response Inflammasome and IL-1 responses are thought important for adaptive Ab responses [26]. Further, mice vaccinated with iFt-mAbs exhibit resistance to Ft LVS challenge, a protection that requires FcRγ and the generation of protective IgA Abs [27, 66]. Because we observed, an FcγR signal-driven, NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent macrophage IL-1β response to iFt-mAb, we considered that IL-1β and NLRP3 might be important for the protective Ab response elicited by the iFt-mAb vaccine. Following the published iFt-mAb vaccine strategy [27], we challenged either unvaccinated or iFt-mAb vaccinated WT, IL-1R1–, or Nlrp3-deficient mice i.n. with 20,000 CFU of Ft LVS. All mice exhibited similar weight loss throughout the experiments, indicating successful infection (data not shown). Unvaccinated IL-1R1 KO mice died approximately 1 d earlier than unvaccinated WT mice ( ), suggesting that mice lacking IL-1R1 may be more susceptible to Ft LVS infection. Indeed, without vaccination, no IL-1R1 KO mice survived past d 9 after sublethal challenge with Ft LVS ( ), demonstrating that IL-1R1, and by extension IL-1, contributes to resistance in naïve mice. Moreover, vaccinated IL-1R1 KO mice exhibited 100% mortality by d 7, whereas vaccinated WT mice showed a significant increase in mean time to death upon challenge ( ). Unvaccinated and vaccinated IL-1R KO mice were equally susceptible to Ft LVS ( ). Unvaccinated Nlrp3 KO and WT mice all died by 8 d postchallenge, suggesting similar susceptibility to the challenge dose ( ). However, as with IL-1R1 KO mice, the mean time to death of vaccinated Nlrp3 KO mice was significantly shorter than it was for vaccinated WT mice ( ) and was comparable to unvaccinated Nlrp3 KO mice ( ). These results suggest that both IL-1R and Nlrp3 are necessary for responsiveness to the iFt-mAb vaccine. It has been shown previously that iFt-mAb vaccination results in FcγR-dependent serum Ft LVS-specific IgA and IgG responses and that the IgA response is protective [27]. Mice lacking IL-1R1 mount a comparable Ft LVS-specific IgG response but fail to mount the important IgA response ( ). However, similar to mice lacking FcγR [27], iFt-mAb–vaccinated Nlrp3 KO mice fail to mount Ft LVS-specific IgA and IgG Ab responses ( ). Thus, both IL-1R1 and Nlrp3 are required for the IgA response known to be required for protection against Ft LVS after vaccination with iFt-mAb, suggesting that the FcγR signal-dependent activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome observed in macrophages may reflect a similar in vivo mechanism important for FcγR-targeted vaccination. DISCUSSION Inflammasome-dependent elaboration of IL-1β during infection or vaccination is thought to be important, in part, for the development of protective Ab responses. Protection against pneumonic tularemia afforded by an opsonized-iFt vaccine in mice requires FcγR and concomitant production of pathogen-specific IgA [27], suggesting that engagement of FcγR might activate a necessary IL-1β response. Indeed, iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β from macrophages and DCs was substantially increased over iFt alone implicating a role for FcγR, leading to subsequent enzymatic processing of IL-1β. In macrophages, iFt-mAb–elicited IL-1β relies on TLR2 and FcγR, and Src and Syk kinase activities downstream of FcγR engagement. Intriguingly, the alternative caspase-8 pathway of IL-1β cleavage, previously linked to Syk activity, appears to be necessary but insufficient, whereas caspase-1/11 and ASC are required. Surprisingly, the IL-1β response to iFt-mAb appears independent of the well-established Aim2 axis that is important for the response to live Ft LVS and Fn U112, requiring NLRP3 instead. Together, our data support the conclusion that FcγR kinase signals represent a pathway to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Finally, this FcγR–Nlrp3–inflammasome–IL-1 axis appears critical for the enhanced survival response afforded by iFt-mAb vaccination. The enhanced IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 cytokine response of macrophages and DCs to iFt-mAb requires signals derived from engagement of both TLR2 and activating FcγR ([27, 33] and this report). Murine IgG2a binds strongly to the activating human FcγRI receptor (CD64) [67], consistent with the ability of anti-CD64 to inhibit enhanced IL-1β production. Other IgG subclasses have different affinities for the various FcγRs and, thus, may be less effective in activation of the requisite kinases [68]. Both cooperative and inhibitory crosstalk between TLR and FcγR signals has been proposed [33, 38, 39]. Here, TLR2 stimulation with iFt or FcγR engagement by the mAb alone was not sufficient to provoke the full IL-1β response, the latter likely because of limited pro-IL-1β expression. FcγRI and TLR2 cooperation via NF-κB and MAPK signaling likely account for increased TNF-α production by iFt-mAb–stimulated macrophages, DCs ( ), and IL-6 [33]. However, whether these pathways contribute to inflammasome activation in conjunction with Syk is unclear. For some proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, no posttranslational processing is required for activity, but for IL-1β, activity is dependent on enzymatic cleavage of its proform by caspase-1. FcγR and TLR2 stimulation by iFt-mAb activates caspase-1 via the NLRP3 inflammasome. Although precisely how convergent FcγR/TLR2 signals drive NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains unknown, Syk activity is clearly involved. Interestingly, although in our study iFt-mAb activated the NLRP3 inflammasome, Janczy et al. [42] reported that IgG-complexed erythrocytes inhibited NLRP3, AIM2, and NLRC4 inflammasomes. In their study, instead of stimulating with an opsonized Ag, BMDMs were treated with LPS to induce pro-IL-1β expression, immune complexes were added, and were then exposed to inflammasome agonists. Although it remains unclear how signal order might influence inflammasome activation, activation or inhibition of Syk kinase, depending on whether activating or inhibitory FcγRs are engaged, might account for this difference. Although the role of TLR signals in driving pro-IL-1β expression is well appreciated [69], how FcγR signals and Syk contribute to NLRP3 inflammasome activation is less clear. NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to select pathogens, including mycobacteria, fungi, and protozoa, has been reported to involve Syk [2, 62, 64, 65]. However, whether Syk is absolutely required to activate NLRP3 and under which circumstances is still unresolved. For instance, in 1 study, nigericin-induced caspase-1 activation and IL-1β production were reduced in the absence of Syk [70]. However, in 2 other reports, Syk was not required for nigericin to act as an NLRP3-activating signal [2, 71] but was suggested, instead, to be necessary for up-regulation of the pro-IL-1β message [71]. Moreover, although Syk binds to NLRP3 and ASC in THP-1 cells stimulated with hemozoin (another NLRP3 agonist) [65], consistent with a potential direct activation of this inflammasome, Syk can also indirectly lead to IL-1β cleavage through dectin-1 activation of caspase-8, an NLRP3- and caspase-1–independent process [11]. In our system, it is unclear whether NLRP3 inflammasome activation via Syk is direct or indirect. Syk may directly activate the inflammasome by phosphorylating 1 or more of the components. Notably, Syk phosphorylation of ASC is required for subsequent caspase-1 activation; however, because ASC associates with NLRP3 in the absence of ASC phosphorylation, phosphorylation of ASC does not appear to be a critical inflammasome-activating signal [70]. Indeed, an initial experiment to examine the impact of Syk activity using NLRP3 inflammasome reconstitution showed constitutively active, Syk-enhanced IL-1β production (Supplemental Fig. 2). Although the precise mechanism remains unclear, Syk can lead to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NLRP3 could also be a direct target of Syk phosphorylation. NLRC4 requires phosphorylation for activation, however, not by Syk [72]. Alternatively, Syk may provide an indirect signal through induction of reactive oxygen species or calcium flux (both of which have been implicated in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome) [73, 74]. The Syk–NLRP3 connection appears quite complex and needs more in-depth studies designed to better parse the targets and requirement for Syk. Syk may also lead to caspase-1/inflammasome-independent IL-1β processing through dectin-1–mediated activation of caspase-8 [11]. In this study, however, although caspase-8 appears necessary, its activity was not sufficient for IL-1β processing after iFt-mAb stimulation. One explanation is that caspase-8 is essential for capsase-1 activation, but not involved directly with IL-1β processing [12]. This seeming caspase-8/caspase-1 codependent elaboration of IL-1β deserves further consideration as a potentially distinct type of NLRP3 inflammasome response. We also did not observe caspase-8–mediated inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome as reported by Kang et al. [75] because IL-1β was not increased after caspase-8 inhibition. Although IL-1R and Nlrp3 are clearly important for the Ab response to iFt-mAb vaccination and the delayed time to death observed with WT mice, we did not observe the previously demonstrated complete protection against lethal challenge with Ft LVS. The initial iFt-mAb study [27] used a challenge dose of 2 × 104 CFU Ft LVS, and this dose served as the basis for our study. However, our challenge inoculation methods were based on the work of Miller et al. [76], and we have found that the LD100 of the Ft LVS challenge inoculum used may be closer to 1000 CFU, rather than 1 × 104 CFU and, thus, represents a challenge dose of 20 LD100. Even at this dose, iFt-mAb–vaccinated WT mice display a prolonged survival time that correlates with the production of Ft LVS-specific Abs. Vaccinated mice challenged with a lower dose (4 × 103 CFU; 4 LD100) yielded comparable results (data not shown). In addition, Miller et al. [76] demonstrated that greater inoculum volumes are needed to ensure Ft infection of the lung. Thus, our inoculum volumes are greater than those typically used before the Miller et al. [76] study. This dissimilarity with the earlier study may mean that this modification to the inoculation method or greater infectious dose affects the ability to survive challenge postvaccination, despite similar Ab response. Nevertheless, in contrast to WT mice, neither IL-1R1 KO mice nor Nlrp3 KO mice displayed any degree of prolonged survival at either challenge dose following vaccination. Although FcγR-, TLR-, and NLRP3-mediated cytokine production can be beneficial in combating infections or stimulating protective immunity after vaccination, these same signaling pathways may also lead to undesirable consequences in autoinflammatory diseases, such as RA or SLE, in which immune complexes are known to be present. Indeed, FcγR crosstalk with TLRs may be a central mechanism for driving proinflammatory cytokine production [77]. Further, Syk inhibition has been suggested as a therapeutic for RA and SLE, but this approach appears problematic [78]. A better understanding of how Syk mediates NLRP3 inflammasome activation would provide additional insight that may prove useful in developing therapies targeting inflammation associated with immune complex–related autoimmune diseases.

Vance Cupp Jr. is survived by his daughter, Jannie and husband Johnny Ray Distretti of Walcott; son, Vance Cupp III and wife Nancy Carlson Cupp of Paragould; grandchildren Ashley Elyse and her husband Ryan Boozer, Casey Elizabeth and her husband Nathan Davis, Madeline Grace Cupp, Quentin David Cupp; great-grandchildren, Jaren Ray Wooley and Elsa Marie Boozer; sisters-in-law, Ola Mae and Presley Orsburn of San Antonio, Texas and Wanda Ruth and Max Long of Pocahontas; in-laws, Ikey Jane Distretti and husband Gordon of New Smyrna Beach, Florida; and many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews from all over. He is also survived by several special friends: Gary and Connie Grimes of Light, and Sue and Don Huffman of Walcott, and so many others who have been so important in his life. We are also thankful for the sweet ladies who helped to care for him in these last months and the health professionals who attended to him (Ashley, Christy, Jordan, Kristen, Misty and Angie). Vance Cupp Jr. was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia Maxine Stone; his parents, Vance Cupp Sr. and Laura Mae Newberry Cupp; sisters, Claribel White and Evangeline Cothren and her husband, J.C. Cothren; brothers, Mayo, who died an infant, Claridy (Pete) Cupp and his wife Esther Williams and James Michael Cupp and his wife Mary Lou Pratt; his in-laws, Joe and Lucy Stone; brother-in-law, Cereal and Veona Stone; sisters-in-law, Marie and James Ivy, Rhema and Silas Eskridge, Lucy and Percy Ellis and Caroline and Bill Ellis; many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins; his children's in-laws, Ray and Florence Distretti and Bud and Josephine Carlson; and special family, Ethel and Bob Noles. There were also many loved and treasured friends in the community that we are thankful Dad had a close relationship with. Vance Carl Cupp, Jr., was born December 11, 1926, to Vance and Laura Newberry Cupp, in Light, Arkansas. He was the third of six children of four boys and two girls. He grew up taking care of himself and working at all kinds of jobs, even as a young boy. He had a paper route, picked up glass soda bottles on the roadside, and bought and sold animal pelts from local hunters. He went to school at Light, where he graduated in a class of eight and was the only boy! While he was in school, he also drove a bus route at the age of sixteen, and whether or not he had a driver's license at that time is still a mystery. After high school, he left for the University of Arkansas to major in mechanical engineering, and over the years, he sometimes mentioned 'flying' home in his new convertible for weekends, but then he would deny it if you questioned him. During his third year of college, his parents had a major car wreck, so he had to return to Light to run the family business. The gin had also experienced a catastrophic fire, so things had to start from the ground up so to speak. This then is where he would work for the rest of his life. His job was interrupted by a world war, and in the only display of emotion we ever heard him talk about from his own dad, Vance Sr., wrote letters to get him into the merchant marines rather than combat. His dad took him to New York City on a train to Sheepshead Bay, and from there, he signed up to haul trains across the Atlantic Ocean to Russia. He talked a lot about how rough the seas were and how the locomotives would get loose on the deck. He was in the engine room keeping the motors running, and this is where he was when another ship ran into them. Water was coming into the engine room quickly, and he said he flew up the ladder before anyone else to get to the top deck. They were shipwrecked in Mermansk, Russia for several months waiting to get their ship repaired. Apparently, he obtained a cigarette habit there that Maxine had to break years later when their daughter was born. Vance and Maxine met on a blind date at a church revival in Light and were married on December 11, 1948 at the courthouse in Pocahontas. They began a working relationship in the family business that lasted until she couldn't work any longer. She loved getting in that infamous bobtruck after a day of work and hauling cottonseed with him to Newport. They also loved going to football bowl games with the family and even to Norfork Lake. In 1954, while still in the army at Ft. Leonardwood, Missouri, they had their first child, and eight years later, the second. There were family trips to the lake, St. Louis, and Branson, but mostly there was work. When Maxine couldn't work anymore, it took a toll on both of them; however, God provided blessing in the form of Ethel and Bob Noles and Connie and Gary Grimes, and these precious friends enabled life to go on in a "new" normal. During his life, he saw his children marry and his four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren born. He quizzed about school, jumped on trampolines, petted dogs and cats and gave out candy and half dollars. He attended the same church his entire life serving as a deacon for over sixty years and teaching a young couples Sunday school class. He would also grab a songbook and lead singing if someone else didn't fill in. He was faithful to attend all kinds of events the church sponsored from Sunday lunches to Trunk or Treat and Easter Egg drops. He rarely missed church or work in his more than ninety years. There will be a parking lot service, Saturday, November 28, 2020 beginning at 10:00 am at Light Baptist Church with Tommy Stacy officiating. There will be a drive by porch visitation as people leave. Burial will be private. To leave a lasting memorial, please consider Light Baptist Church (c/o David Pratt 16769 Hwy 412 West, Walnut Ridge, AR, 72476).

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.

He died peacefully with his beloved wife Jean and children by his side. Jim was born on September 20, 1930 in Dallas, TX to Roland Mason and May Corine Shiflett. As a young man he loved riding his bike to the swimming hole, digging caves in the vast back yard, correcting the minister of his church when he repeated a sermon, debating his classmates, and looking up to his older brothers. He started his mission in the Presbyterian Ministry in his early twenties after graduating from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. He was the Pastor of several churches throughout the Chicago area and suburbs, always bringing his love, passion and energy to his parishioners. He retired at age 65, but continued to do interim ministry work. During this time, he went back to school and received his Doctorate of Divinity at the age of 77. He also had the privilege of marrying & baptizing several of his children, grandchildren and many other family members and friends. He was the co-founder of the Body Politic Theatre in Chicago, working there as the Director of the theater complex. He went on to create The Dream Theatre which ran for several years, culminating in a tour of New York city, Baltimore, and several other US locations. Jim saw the world not as it was, but as it could be, and was active in the early, nonviolent Civil Rights movement during the 1960's. He was one of 43 northern clergymen who joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Albany, Georgia to protest discriminatory Jim Crow laws. In 1979, he met the love of his life, Jean. They were married in 1980 and were together over 40 years. He dedicated much of his retirement attending his grandchildren's many activities and events. He and Jean moved to South Carolina in 2011, where he became very active at St Giles Presbyterian Church, performing oral tellings at services from memorized bible texts with multiple narrators from the congregation who he coached. He also valued his men's luncheon group every Monday. Jim was a mesmerizing story teller. At family gatherings he would often be found with an audience of intent listeners, embroiled in stories from the bible, politics and family history. As patriarch of the family, he was a wonderful Father and loving Grandfather, always searching for an opportunity to listen, teach and guide. A gentle, strong, and loving man, Jim had a powerful impact on thousands of lives, and will be greatly missed by all whom he touched.

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] Naval Aviator insignia Navy Cross Distinguished Flying Cross w/ three 5⁄16" Gold Stars Bronze Star Medal w/ Combat "V" Purple Heart Air Medal Combat Action Ribbon w/ one 5⁄16" Gold Star Navy Commendation Medal w/ Combat "V" Navy and Marine Corps Presidential Unit Citation w/ three 3⁄16" Bronze Stars American Defense Service Medal China Service Medal American Campaign Medal Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal w/ two 3⁄16" Bronze Stars World War II Victory Medal National Defense Service Medal w/ one 3⁄16" Bronze Star Korean Service Medal w/ four 3⁄16" Bronze Stars Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation United Nations Korea Medal Korean War Service Medal 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 Bibliography [edit] Cupp, James N.

She looked forward to it daily with great anticipation. She participated in the church from the time she was a very young woman, when the late Rev. James Smith was pastor.

She became a Christian when she was 15 and lived a virtuous life until her death, with Christ at the center. She loved her family dearly (she was an angel on earth and we know there's a great celebration going on in Heaven.) She will be greatly missed. Growing flowers was her hobby. During the growing season, her yard and porch looked like Heaven. Her husband was a Godly man but she was the glue that held the family together.

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... 49 additional images.

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.

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.

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.

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. The Daily Courier, Connellsville, PA, Tuesday Evening, October 26, 1948, page 1, column 5 MRS.

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. J. P. B.

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.

Kingsport Times-News Submitted by Don Lane Nellie (Poole) Gilly (Nellies grandmother, Naomi Freeman Poole, was b. Scott Co.) BIG STONE GAP, Va. - Nellie Gilly, 97, of Powell Valley, passed away Saturday (June 5, 2004) at Norton Community Hospital after a brief illness. She was the wife of the late John Gilly. She was the daughter of the late Worley and Venus Poole. She was their first child and had been No. 1 with her family and friends ever since. Nellie was a lifelong member of the Powell Valley Presbyterian Church. She attended regularly (all of her life). It was her favorite place to go. She looked forward to it daily with great anticipation. She participated in the church from the time she was a very young woman, when the late Rev. James Smith was pastor. Even when she had a large family, it didn't prevent her from hosting the ladies auxiliary meeting in her home and taking part in the program. She was an elder in the church in recent years. She became a Christian when she was 15 and lived a virtuous life until her death, with Christ at the center. She loved her family dearly (she was an angel on earth and we know there's a great celebration going on in Heaven.) She will be greatly missed. Growing flowers was her hobby. During the growing season, her yard and porch looked like Heaven. Her husband was a Godly man but she was the glue that held the family together. She had a tremendous job with the family being large, and recently when asked how she accomplished it she said, "When I had a job to do, I just did what needed to be done." Nellie was the most unselfish person and never, never put herself before anyone. She was preceded in death by two sons, Emory and Vernon Gilly; and a daughter, Anna Gibson. Her surviving children are Johnny Gilly, Wade Gilly, Nila Rines, and Edna Gilly, all of Big Stone Gap, and Audrey Meroney, Bermuda Run, N.C. She had 14 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren. She had three brothers and three sisters.

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... 49 additional images.

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.

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.

(WVIR) - An indictment was unsealed charging the Sheriff of Culpeper County, Virginia, and three other Virginia men with a conspiracy to exchange bribes for law enforcement badges and credentials, federal programs bribery, and honest services fraud. According to the indictment, from at least April 2019, Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Howard Jenkins accepted cash bribes and bribes in the form of campaign contributions totaling at least $72,500 from Rick Tariq Rahim of Great Falls, Fredric Gumbinner of Fairfax, James Metcalf of Manassas, and at least five others, including two FBI undercover agents. In return, Jenkins appointed each of the bribe payors as auxiliary deputy sheriffs, a sworn law-enforcement position, and issued them Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office badges and identification cards. Jenkins told or caused others to tell the bribe payors that those law-enforcement credentials authorized them to carry concealed firearms in all fifty states without obtaining a permit. In addition, Jenkins assisted Rahim in gaining approval for a petition to restore his firearms rights filed in Culpeper County Circuit Court that falsely stated that Rahim resided in Culpeper County. “Scott Jenkins not only violated federal law but also violated the faith and trust placed in him by the citizens of Culpeper County by accepting cash bribes in exchange for auxiliary deputy badges and other benefits,” United States Attorney Christopher R. Kavanaugh said today. “Our elected officials are expected to uphold the rule of law, not abuse their power for their own personal, financial gain.” Jenkins is charged with one count of conspiracy, four counts of honest-services mail and wire fraud, and eight counts of federal programs bribery. If convicted, each defendant faces up to 5 years in prison on the conspiracy count, up to 20 years in prison on each of the honest-services mail and wire fraud counts, and up to 10 years in prison on each of the federal programs bribery counts. The defendants are scheduled to make their initial court appearances on June 29 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The FBI’s Richmond Field Office, Charlottesville Resident Agency is investigating the case. Do you have a story idea? Send us your news tip here.

Non limited edition. Boxes may have the odd light scuff, crease or score line but nothing that detracts. Length 5.5 inches Wingspan 6.75 inches In March of 1943, VMF-213 arrived in the Solomons, equipped with Wildcats, but re-equipped with Corsairs before entering combat. With 13 kills, Captain Cupp was one of the highest scoring aces of this outfit. Cupp claimed his first two kills (a “Betty” and a “Zero”) in this aircraft on 15th July 1943 during his second tour. The aircraft wears a white 7 in place of the previous number just forward of the national insignia. The old style black 13 is still faintly visible under the canopy and on the cowl. The aircraft bears four kill marks representing Cupp’s next victories claimed on the 17th in F-4U1B No.02580. He was shot down on the 18th September and after bailing out he was picked up by the Americans and spent 18 months in hospital undergoing 14 operations. Designed to meet a US Navy requirement for a single-seat carrier based fighter, the F4U was first flown on May 29th, 1940. This versatile aircraft saw service with both the Navy and Marine Corps in WW II and in the Korean War. During its lifetime, the Corsair underwent numerous improvements such as a lengthened fuselage, a high visibility bubble-top canopy and folding inverted gull wings that provided clearance for a large propeller. Its performance advantage, 400 mph capability, the ability to withstand punishment and six .50 Browning machine guns made the F4U a devastating weapon against aircraft, ground targets and ships.

REVEREND DOCTOR WILLIAM MCLAURINE HALL Gateway-Forest Lawn Funeral Home Lake City, FL The life and ministry of the Reverend Doctor William McLaurine Hall will be celebrated at a Memorial Eucharist at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, October 11, 2008 at St. James Episcopal Church, 2423 SW Bascom Norris Drive, Lake City, FL 32025, with the Rt. Rev. John Howard, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Florida, officiating, and the Rev. Dale Warner assisting. Visitation will be from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Friday, October 10, 2008 and following the service at St. James Episcopal Church in Lake City. Father Hall was born in Tampa, FL on August 26, 1928 and grew up in Plant City, FL. Upon graduation from Plant City High School, he entered Stetson University where he earned a BA in 1949. Responding to a call to ordained ministry, he moved to New Haven, CT to study at Yale Divinity School. He graduated from Yale University with the Bachelor of Divinity in 1953 and a Master of Sacred Theology in 1955. In 1980, he earned the Doctor of Divinity degree from the University of the South (Sewanee). During his time at Yale University, Father Hall met his future wife, Margaret Ann MacLennan. They were married in Toronto, Canada on November 26, 1955, and lived in New York City where Father Hall was serving as minister and working with troubled youth at the Judson Memorial Church, Washington Square, New York City. Father Hall returned to Florida where he assisted the rector at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Gainesville, FL. Father Hall was ordained as an Episcopal priest on September 18, 1958, by the Rt. Rev. E. Hamilton West, Diocese of Florida. In 1958 Father Hall served as the Bishop's Vicar in St. Michael's Mission Parish, Gainesville, FL and continued to serve as St. Michael's first priest until 1964. From 1964 to 1966, he served as Assistant Rector of St. Marks Episcopal Church, Jacksonville, FL, before being called to St. James Episcopal Church, Lake City, FL in June 1966. Father Hall served Rector of St. James for 27 years until his retirement in 1994. Throughout his ministry, the many positions he filled on committees in the Diocese of Florida have touched the lives of many people, particularly his work as Chairman of the Bishop's Advisory Committee on Admission to the Ordained Ministry for 18 years, and Chairman of Continuing Education for the Clergy. Father Hall was also involved in many civic and philanthropic organizations and was extremely active in prison ministries. Upon retirement, he enjoyed traveling to visit his grandchildren in Louisiana, attending various Elder Hostels listening to operas and classical music, and of course, reading his many books. He remained very active in retirement serving as Diocesan Historian, supplying for vacationing clergy, and filling in during vacancies at St. Mary's, Madison, FL; St. James, Perry, FL and Grace Episcopal Church in Monroe, LA. In his final years, Father Hall moved to the Advent Christian Village retirement community in Dowling Park, FL. He became quite active there and was responsible for starting the "History of Florida" course. In an age when so many things are considered temporary or expendable, his example has proven to all of us that steadfastness is found in a life of faithful service. His selfless giving to others endeared him to all who knew him and he leaves many family and friends to mourn his loss. Father Hall was preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Margaret Ann MacLennan Hall, who died February 9, 1993. He is survived by his daughter, Margaret Hall Zentner and her husband, Dr. Scott D. Zentner, Monroe, LA; son, Bill Hall and his wife Beverly of Palatka, FL; sister, Josephine Hall Spears of Palm Beach Gardens, FL; sisters-in-law, Effie MacLennan McCombe and Jane Grimes MacLennan, Ontario, Canada; two beloved grandchildren, McLaurine "Mac" Hall Zentner and Margaret Ann Zentner of Monroe, LA; and numerous nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. The family wishes to express its heartfelt thanks to the compassionate medical staff and caregivers and friends at Dacier Manor and Good Samaritan, Dowling Park; Haven Hospice of the Suwannee Valley in Lake City; the people of St. James, Lake City and St. Mary's, Madison, FL.

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.

REYNOLDS Franklin M. Reynolds was born November 21, 1853, and departed this life April 3, 1910, aged 56 years, 4 months and 12 days. He was married March 21, 1880 to Miss Ida Riggs. Five children were born to this union: Ethel O., Philip I., Thurman J., Lynden E., and Frances E. He united with the Zoar Baptist Church in the year 1879, Rev. J. R. Shingleton being the pastor who baptised him into the membership, and he remained a faithful member until the organization of the church at Clay Point, July 7, 1883, when he became a member of that organization, now extinct). He was clerk of this church during its existence, also Sunday School Superintendent, until his health failed him. When the first Baptist Church of this city was organized some eleven years ago he identified himself with it, and retained his membership here till his Master said, "It is enough", and on the morning of April 3 he was transplanted into the Church Triumphant on the shores of eternal bliss. He has been identified with many of the interests of this county; his counsels were always safe, conservative, and yet progressive He was a friend of the cause of religion; a man of deep conviction, yet had charity with all respecting other men's opinions. He was not one of those that was carried about with every wind of doctrine; he tried things until he proved them and then held to that which was good. Funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church of St. Marys April 5, by the pastor, Rev. M. F. Kiger, assisted by Rev. J. R. Shingleton, after which his body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows Cemetery to await the resurrection summons. M. F.

(Gerald Bills) The Oracle, St. Marys, WV, 17 Nov 1905 ISAAC O. REYNOLDS Isaac O. Reynolds passed away at two o'clock on Sunday morning, November 12, at the home of his brother, Frank M. Reynolds, Grape Island, after having been confined to the house about two weeks with illness. He had been in poor health for some time, but had made no complaint, and his condition was not regarded as serious until he was compelled to return unexpectedly from a vacation trip that he had made to the East. On his return he attempted to resume his position in the Pleasants County Bank, but a brief trial convinced him that it was unwise, and he yielded to the advice of physician and friends and sought rest at the home of his brother. But in spite of the fact that he knew he was suffering from a mortal disease, cancer of the liver, he continued to exercise supervision as far as he could over the affairs of the bank. The deceased was the youngest son of Isaac and Cassie (Bills) Reynolds and was born February 4, 1865. He received his first instruction in the St. Marys school, and afterwards attended the Marietta ... that time residing in Harmar. After leaving the academy, he learned the art of printing, and practiced the occupation at Sutton, in Braxton county. Returning to St. Marys; he taught school several terms, and in 1885 was appointed Deputy Sheriff under his brother, D. W. Reynolds. He filled this office in a highly creditable manner, and was continued in the position under Sheriff R. A. Gorrell and again under his brother, making a consecutive service of twelve years. On October 23, 1895 he was married to Lucy Clifford, daughter of Mrs. Emma J. (Clifford) Patterson. Their happy wedded life was terminated by the sad death of his wife and child on the 9th day of October 1896. In the year 1897 he assisted in incorporating the Pleasants County Bank, the first institution of the kind established in this city, and was appointed its cashier a position which he filled with universal approbation up to the time of his death. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, and was also a member of the secret society, A.F. & A.M., and its kindred organization, the Knights of Pythias. His was a quiet life. He keenly delighted in the society of his friends, and was possessed of a remarkably even and cheery nature, never making an enemy that we have heard of. Ever since our first knowledge of him, he and his mother, with the exception of a few intervals, occupied the old family residence at the corner of Lafayette and Second streets and in which it is said the first court of Pleasants county was held. The funeral, which occurred on Tuesday, November 14, was the largest ever held in the county. The Masonic fraternity took charge of the remains and brought them from Grape Island to this city at 3:30 in the afternoon. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Protestant Church and opened for a last look at the departed, and the funeral procession wended its way to the cemetery, where interment took place under the management of the Masonic Brotherhood, the remains being lowered into the grave at sunset. The pall bearers were James M. Oldfield, Walter F. Varner, F.J. Hinderliter, Julius A. Schauwecker, Charles Steere and Dr. John B. Watson. The floral offerings were magnificent, testifying strongly the esteem and affection in which the deceased was held. (Gerald Bills) The St. Marys Oracle - 15 May 1884 JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS IN MEMORIAM Death is a sad visitor. It comes unbidden, but often not without a warning, and it leaves the home desolate indeed. Sickness, which is sometimes a precursor of dissolution, only adds to the endearment. Each member of the family in health would willingly suffer in his stead; and when Death finally with his icy hand removes the one thus doubly endeared, each bereaved one seems to think that he or she could have been better spared. God giveth as he sees fit, and taketh away as he likes. Consolation can only come from Heaven. We will no further attempt it. JOSEPH HAMILTON REYNOLDS, the subject of these remarks, was born in Pleasants county, West Virginia, August 3, 1861. At the age of sixteen he commenced to learn the printing trade, and at seventeen he started to travel, working in several offices in the Southern States. In the year 1881 he entered into partnership with William Devine, and started the "Rio Grande Vally." in Brownsville, Texas. The partnership lasted about a year, when Joseph became the sole proprietor of the paper. He remained in Brownsville during the yellow fever siege of 1882, and passed through the trying ordeal. In June 1883, he returned home in impaired health, and remained here with his mother and friends until his death, which occured May 10, 1884. His disease, which was pronounced consumption, was brought on by over-exertion in his work and lack of proper out-door exercise. He was ambitious, and attempted to excel by his own strength, but his constitution gave way under the severe strain, and he returned home a mere physical wreck of his former self. The best medical skill country could afford [sic] was consulted, and all that willing hands and loving hearts could do was exerted for his recovery, but the fell destroyer had seized with a hold that baffled human skill. Death came to him peaceful, and he passed away as calm as the May morning. The friends desire to express their gratitude to the physicians for their efforts in his behalf. They also remember kindly Mrs. Conrad, who, though a stranger, gave all assistance in her power to alleviate the suffering and to console those who mourn a loss that cannot be restored. They also feel themselves under obligations to Green Ruttencutter for his services in officiating at the obsequies. The large concourse of people that attended the funeral expresses the estimation in which the deceased was held by those with whom he grew up. (Gerald Bills) St. Marys Oracle - 4 June 1970 LYNDEN E.

There she spent her entire life until she came to St. Marys about 15 months ago. She was married to Mr. Rife nearly 13 years ago. Of this happy union 5 children were born, of whom 3 survive. Her maiden life was happy and as she expressed it, "without a cloud." Sister Rife had a sunny disposition and those quiet virtues which so adorn domestic life. Throughout her entire sickness she never murmured nor complained, but waited with quiet resignation the summons which she realized would call her into the higher life of the Spirit. It was the privilege of the writer to talk with her many times in her last illness, and she always spoke with absolute confidence of the future. indeed, as she neared the tender land of the invisible world, her confidence grew into knowledge until she said, "there is no doubt, no dark cloud." Sister Rife was a member of the Methodist Protestant church, having joined on profession of faith. A short memorial service was held at the house Saturday morning of April 5, for the benefit of the many friends to whom she had become endeared before and during her affliction. The body was then taken to Circleville for interment. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of all in this, the darkest hour of human life. - M. D. Helmick (Gerald Bills) J.

(Michael Anderson) CYNTHIA ANN RIGGS St. Marys Oracle - July 23, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs, 38, of Minneapolis, Minn. was killed July 2, 2003 by a falling tree during a storm while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Ely, Minn. Her fiance David Sagula suffered injuries to his face and shoulder. She was born July 7, 1964, daughter of Bill and Connie Riggs of Valley Forge, Pa. Her background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's degree) and the University of Wyoming (PhD). She had been the clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses.] Survivors, in addition to her parents is and fiance, include a sister, Riggs-Le Picart of New York City; and grandfather Blaine Riggs of St. Marys. Memorial services were July 8 at the Minnesota Zon Meditation Center in Minneapolis. She and her fiance had planned to marry in December. OBITUARY: Minneapolis Psychologist's Free Spirit Recalled Nolan Zavoral, Star Tribune Published July 8, 2003 Cynthia Ann Riggs had the kind of contagious optimism that drew people to her, even if it meant following her to Patagonia. "That was one of the trips we went on -- to Patagonia, in Chile," said her friend Jennie Leskala. "She convinced me we could trek, without training, in the Andes Mountains. "It rained, it snowed, but we kept marching. Her famous line was, 'How hard can it be?' I'll miss that the most about her." Riggs, a Minneapolis psychologist who would have celebrated her 39th birthday Monday, died last week while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with her fiancé, David Sagula, 42, also a Minneapolis psychologist. Inside a tent, they were caught in violent straight-line winds on the night of July 2. A 100-year-old red pine, 16 inches in diameter, was uprooted and fell on the tent, grazing Sagula and knocking him unconscious and crushing Riggs, said Chip Elkins, a law-enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service who assisted the Lake County Sheriff's Office with rescue and recovery. Sagula, bruised on the face and shoulder, said he "woke from a daze with a bad headache" and saw that the tree had pinned Riggs. "I tried to move it -- I tried many, many times," he said Monday night from his home. "I tried to move her sleeping bag from under it, but nothing. I was panicky. It was surreal." Sagula said he could not find Riggs' pulse. The couple, engaged two months ago, planned to marry in December. "Part of me knew she was gone. Part of me could not believe it," he said. Riggs' cell phone didn't work, so Sagula set off from Basswood Lake -- on the Canadian border, about 20 miles northeast of Ely, Minn. -- for help. Eventually, he found campers who called for help. Elkins, who flew in on a float plane, said, "This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but it does happen." A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. today at the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, 3343 E. Calhoun Pkwy., in Minneapolis. Riggs is survived by her sister, Susan, of New York City, and her parents, Bill and Connie, from suburban Philadelphia. Riggs -- whose academic background spanned the University of Georgia (undergraduate), Villanova (master's) and the University of Wyoming (Ph.D.) -- had been clinical director of Sentinel House, which serves people with severe and persistent mental illnesses. She had begun working as a volunteer in that area when she was in high school. "It was her life-long passion, to help those that society has cast aside," Sagula said. "She was intelligent and beautiful, and she could have worked with the rich if she wanted to take that route. "But that wasn't her. She wanted to work with those who'd been left behind."

JAMES ALLEN SHIFLETT The Mackey Funerals and Cremations at Century Drive, Greenville, SC Reverend James Allen Shiflett, Doctor of Divinity, passed away on Monday, Dec 16th , 2019 after reaching the age of 89 years old. He died peacefully with his beloved wife Jean and children by his side. Jim was born on September 20, 1930 in Dallas, TX to Roland Mason and May Corine Shiflett. As a young man he loved riding his bike to the swimming hole, digging caves in the vast back yard, correcting the minister of his church when he repeated a sermon, debating his classmates, and looking up to his older brothers. He started his mission in the Presbyterian Ministry in his early twenties after graduating from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. He was the Pastor of several churches throughout the Chicago area and suburbs, always bringing his love, passion and energy to his parishioners. He retired at age 65, but continued to do interim ministry work. During this time, he went back to school and received his Doctorate of Divinity at the age of 77. He also had the privilege of marrying & baptizing several of his children, grandchildren and many other family members and friends. He was the co-founder of the Body Politic Theatre in Chicago, working there as the Director of the theater complex. He went on to create The Dream Theatre which ran for several years, culminating in a tour of New York city, Baltimore, and several other US locations. Jim saw the world not as it was, but as it could be, and was active in the early, nonviolent Civil Rights movement during the 1960's. He was one of 43 northern clergymen who joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Albany, Georgia to protest discriminatory Jim Crow laws. In 1979, he met the love of his life, Jean. They were married in 1980 and were together over 40 years. He dedicated much of his retirement attending his grandchildren's many activities and events. He and Jean moved to South Carolina in 2011, where he became very active at St Giles Presbyterian Church, performing oral tellings at services from memorized bible texts with multiple narrators from the congregation who he coached. He also valued his men's luncheon group every Monday. Jim was a mesmerizing story teller. At family gatherings he would often be found with an audience of intent listeners, embroiled in stories from the bible, politics and family history. As patriarch of the family, he was a wonderful Father and loving Grandfather, always searching for an opportunity to listen, teach and guide. A gentle, strong, and loving man, Jim had a powerful impact on thousands of lives, and will be greatly missed by all whom he touched. In addition to his loving wife Jean, he is survived by his children and their spouses, Drew & Moses, Melissa & Yuri, Shawn & Sarah, Terri & Marty, Steve & Gail, Dan & Laurel and 14 grandchildren, Rachel, Maggie, Cole, Taylor, Evan, Conner, Grady, Jake, Ryan, Natalie, Andrew, Ethan, Ryann, Jordan along with their significant others, Jenna, Julia, Jack, Breezy & Emily.

Who are they? In this article, we’ll talk about them and their world-renowned novels. Victor Hugo Undeniably, Victor Hugo is among the most famous French authors ever. Over a span of over six decades, he wrote extensive works, encompassing critical essays, historical sagas, satirical pieces, and poetry. Victor Hugo’s famous works include Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Alexandre Dumas Any list of famous French novelists wouldn’t be complete without Alexandre Dumas. Dumas left a permanent mark on the literary world during the 19th century, and his works continue to captivate readers today. He wrote many influential novels, including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. Fun Fact: Alexandre Dumas wrote under a pseudonym name. His real name is Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie. Thanks to his privileged background, Dumas had access to aristocratic circles. He even served King Louis Philippe, the last king of France. Guy de Maupassant Guy de Maupassant is known for his short stories that explore human folly, moral corruption, and the effects of war and social class on society. Guy de Maupassant’s famous works include Boule de Suif, The Necklace, and Bel-Ami. His works have inspired the production of various movies. Marcel Proust Proust, a renowned author of the 20th century, began writing at a young age. He wrote for Le Mensuel and started an autobiographical novel, Jean Santeuil, which he didn’t finish due to his demise. He intended to produce In Search of Lost Time, his most famous work, as a ten-volume series but ended on the seventh. Since Marcel was born during the Franco-Prussian War, most of his works focus on the rise of the working class and the aristocracy’s decline. Émile Zola Émile Zola is a renowned novelist whose name often appears on the list of famous French novelists. He is renowned for his naturalism and extreme realism, which suggests that the environment shapes the human character. Besides writing novels, Zola was a journalist and playwright who penned many short stories early in his career. His outstanding work comprises a 20-volume series known as Les Rougon-Macquart. Nana, the 9th novel, is the most famous in this series. In 1901 and 1902, Zola was a Nobel Prize in Literature nominee. Albert Camus In 1957, Albert Camus became the second-youngest person to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature at 44. This award solidified his position as one of the famous French authors of his era. He is most famous for his novella, The Stranger, which many critics and bibliophiles still celebrate to date. Albert also wrote other well-known works like The Plague and The Fall. Molière Most people consider Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, who used the pen name Molière, as one of the most famous French authors. He was a versatile artist who wrote plays and poems and even acted. Due to his focus on comedy and tragi-comedy, people label Molière as the “Father of Modern French Comedy.” He is well-known for plays such as The School for Wives, Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, and The Miser. Actors perform these books at Comédie-Française, a prestigious theatre in Paris. Jules Verne If you want to read much about science fiction, Jules Verne’s books are worth reading. His famous works include Around the World in 80 Days and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. He also wrote autobiographies, songs, and poetry. Various films have adapted several of his novels. Verne ranks second for the world’s most translated author, behind Agatha Christie and ahead of William Shakespeare. Marguerite Duras Marguerite Duras, a French screenwriter, novelist, playwright, and film director, is an exceptional French author of the 20th century. Despite being born in Vietnam, people regard her as French, and she gained worldwide recognition for her film Hiroshima mon amour script. This script earned her an Oscar nomination in 1961. In 1986, Duras won the Prix Goncourt for her autobiographical novel, The Lover. In 1992, movie directors adapted the book into a highly regarded film. Charles Perrault Although you might have yet to become familiar with him, Charles Perrault’s fame extends beyond France. You have probably heard of his famous stories, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. These stories appear in his Tales of Mother Goose or Stories of the Past with Morals. Countless adaptations and reinterpretations of Perrault’s tales, written in simple language and intended for entertainment, have occurred over the centuries. In addition to his fairy tales, Perrault was also a respected poet and civil servant in the court of King Louis XIV. George Sand Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, a highly acclaimed female writer in France, wrote under the pen name George Sand. She went to great lengths, even wearing men’s clothing in public, to overcome gender barriers and get her work published. She championed women’s rights and the working class, starting her newspaper to spread her message. Sand was also known for her controversial personal life, including her relationship with renowned composer Frédéric Chopin. Indiana was her first successful novel. She also wrote Rose et Blanche, La Petite Fadette, and Ce Que Disent Les Fleurs. Today, the Musée de la Vie Romantique commemorates her works and life, and there is a statue in Luxembourg Gardens. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is the author of The Little Prince. Although this novella appears to be a children’s book, it holds a deeper meaning. He was a decorated writer, winning many of France’s highest literary awards and the U.S. National Book Award. Before his writing career, Antoine was an aviator and served in the Free France air force during World War II. Unfortunately, he vanished on a reconnaissance mission in 1944, and people presumed him dead. His family published many of his works later. In addition to The Little Prince, his other notable works include Airman’s Odyssey and Wind, Sand, and Stars. Gustave Flaubert It took Flaubert five years to finish his debut novel, November, which marked the start of his literary career. He is famous for his literary realism and meticulous attention to detail. People also consider him one of the most influential figures in the development of the modern novel. Flaubert’s most famous work, Madame Bovary, caused controversy upon publication due to its frank depiction of adultery and sexuality. However, the novel is now regarded as a masterpiece of literary realism and has influenced countless writers since its release. Flaubert’s other notable works include Sentimental Education and Three Tales. Readers acclaimed Gustave as one of the prominent French novelists, especially for his realistic style in French literature. Charles Baudelaire Charles Baudelaire ranks as one of the most famous French authors. His most notable work is a collection of poems titled The Flowers of Evil. After Baudelaire’s death, a third edition of the book, which included 14 previously unpublished poems, was published. People believe Charles invented the term “modernity” through this work, influencing the modernist movement. Additionally, people recognize him as one of the first to translate Edgar Allan Poe’s works into French. Honoré de Balzac Honoré de Balzac, one of the most renowned French writers, has published over 90 novels, plays, and short stories throughout his career. Balzac’s writing style is famous for its realism and attention to detail, often exploring the social, political, and economic factors that shape human behavior. Balzac’s achievements and impact on French literature earned him the “Father of Realism” title. His most famous work, La Comédie Humaine, is a collection of interlinked novels and stories depicting French society during the Restoration and the July Monarchy. Paul Verlaine Paul Verlaine is a highly-regarded French poet of the late 19th century. During his time, people associated him with various literary movements, including the Parnassians and Symbolists. His poetry is famous for its dense metaphorical complexity and visionary images, representing the pinnacle of the Symbolist aesthetic. Verlaine believed that the sounds of the words in his poetry were as important, if not more important, than their actual meaning. His work influenced later generations of Symbolists and French poets, including Rimbaud and Valery. Verlaine published his most well-known work, Fêtes Galantes, in 1869. Simone de Beauvoir Simone de Beauvoir, a prominent female activist and writer, is widely recognized for her contributions to feminist existentialism and theory in France. Her activism was crucial in securing women’s voting rights in 1946. Simone’s literary works primarily focus on feminism, as evident in her outstanding work titled The Second Sex. This book exposes the oppression of women. Her book The Mandarins earned her the prestigious literary award Prix Goncourt, cementing her status as one of the best French female writers. Jean-Paul Sartre The 20th century saw Jean-Paul Sartre emerge as a prominent figure, celebrated for his role as a French philosopher, playwright, writer, and political activist. He was a significant figure in the development of existentialism and phenomenology and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964. Sartre gained fame for his writings about the working class and marginalized communities. His famous works include Being and Nothingness, Existentialism and Humanism, Age of Reason, and Nausea. Sartre also had a romantic relationship with Simone de Beauvoir, another prominent French writer, and they lived together during the Vichy France period.

Often linked by both proponents and critics with the excessive refinements found in the literature of the late Roman period, its general characteristics are an interest in perversity, ennui, art for art’s sake, transgressive modes of sexuality, artificiality, and decay. As the century continued, in France the label was increasingly applied to a type of poetry exemplified by the writing of Paul Verlaine and Stéphane Mallarmé, and the fiction of J. K. Huysmans. By the end of the century, decadence had spread into many other European countries as an aesthetic term. Decadence became a vital force in England during the 1890s and thrived as one of the dominant focuses of a wider cultural debate regarding degeneration and in particular the fin de siècle, a decade and an idea with which it became increasingly associated. The periodical The Yellow Book was seen as one of the chief organs of decadent writing, and Oscar Wilde, Arthur Symons, and Ernest Dowson are usually cited as the leading writers in the English decadent tradition—although much work in recent years has focused on expanding this canon, particularly with regard to its gender bias. Along with aestheticism and symbolism (literary categories with which it often overlaps), decadence has become a vital focus within literary study of the Victorians, and it now appears secure as one of the major strands of teaching and research in the literature of the period. General Overviews There is a dilemma here, for despite the plethora of general guides to decadent literature, there is no single overview of decadence as a global phenomenon—most of this type of work tends to be limited by national, or at best continental, boundaries. Schoolfield 2003 is undoubtedly the best place for those interested in gaining the widest view, although Praz 1970 also has a wide focus and forwards the classic view of decadence as a subset of romanticism extremely effectively. Students of Victorian literature looking for a European context, however, will in all likelihood be most interested in France; and while many guides to English decadence tend to contain material on this, Pierrot 1981 is the strongest on the literature, while Birkett 1986 provides a wider contextual view for the French movement, which usefully supplements the broader-brush versions often given in Anglocentric works. For the best of both English and French worlds, Denisoff 2007 conveys a large amount of information in neat and concise fashion and is probably the best place for the student to start. Many critical assumptions about English decadence begin with Jackson 1913, which still reads well and gives a good sense of the vibrancy of the period, while Sturgis 1995 is probably the best book-length introduction of English decadence currently available, despite contributing little that is new in terms of ideas. Probably for this reason it is often overlooked, but it remains very entertaining and is strong on Beardsley and the visual arts. For a full sense of the many diverse areas of decadent study, and to remain fully up to date, The OScholars contains much wide-ranging information, but perhaps most importantly, it is very frequently updated; it thus remains perhaps most useful for familiarizing oneself with current critical trends and developments. Birkett, Jennifer. The Sins of the Fathers: Decadence in France, 1870–1914. London and New York: Quartet, 1986. Accessible historicist study of the development of decadence in France, arguing that it is in essence a style evolved by elites under threat, and a response to the perceived sterility and weakness of the country after defeat in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870–1871. Denisoff, Dennis. “Decadence and Aestheticism.” In The Cambridge Companion to the Fin de Siècle. Edited by Gail Marshall, 31–52. Cambridge Companions to Literature. Cambridge, UK: University Press, 2007. Strong article that combines an elegant tour through the key moments of historical significance for the development of decadence with a convincing argument suggesting that the even the ephemeral and parodic elements of aestheticism and decadence were primarily sociopolitical in aim and effect. Jackson, Holbrook. The Eighteen Nineties: A Review of Art and Ideas at the Close of the Nineteenth Century. London: Grant Richards, 1913. The keystone of much writing on the period, and still useful as an overview of the entire fin de siècle, although it has a particular emphasis on decadent discourses. Remains readable and is widely held by academic libraries, although a number of its assumptions have since been challenged, particularly and obviously with regard to canon. The OScholars. Hub with links to many exciting online journals of relevance to decadence, with the OScholars site itself containing a useful forum in which all aspects of fin de siècle culture are discussed. Updated regularly, and a very useful guide to recent publications helps the student to keep right up-to-date with critical developments on decadence and fin de siècle culture. Pierrot, Jean. The Decadent Imagination, 1880–1900. Translated by Derek Coltman. Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1981. Strong sense of the French decadence in general terms, but also with an excellent and convincing section on Wilde that sees him as a theorist after-the-fact of the original French movement. Praz, Mario. The Romantic Agony. Translated by Angus Davidson. 2d ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1970. Originally published in Italian in 1951, Praz’s classic study aims to study romanticism “under the erotic sensibility” and is thus a key text for the idea of decadence as a “falling off” from the Romantic movement. Organized thematically, and with consideration of an extraordinary range of English, French, and Italian texts, many now obscure. Schoolfield, George C., ed. A Baedecker of Decadence: Charting a Literary Fashion, 1884–1927. New Haven, CT, and London: Yale University Press, 2003. Wide-ranging discussion of the subject on a global scale, including some decadent writers from lesser-known European contexts, including Ireland, Norway, and Finland, as well as sources from the United States and Australia. Helpful for the nonlinguist, although not particularly engaged with other relevant criticism. Sturgis, Matthew. Passionate Attitudes: English Decadence of the 1890s. London: Picador, 1995. Lively survey of the development of English decadence, which remains the best book-length starting point for the topic. Not much on developments in critical debates and with surprisingly little scholarly apparatus, but a very readable introduction for the beginner.

By contrast, art should be judged purely on its own terms: according to whether or not it is beautiful, capable of inducing ecstasy or revery in the viewer through its formal qualities (its use of line, color, pattern, and so on). The concept became a rallying cry across nineteenth-century Britain and France, partly as a reaction against the stifling moralism of much academic art and wider society, with the writer Oscar Wilde perhaps its most famous champion. Although the phrase has been little used since the early twentieth century, its legacy lived on in many twentieth-century ideas concerning the autonomy of art, notably in various strains of formalism. Key Ideas & Accomplishments The idea of Art for Art's sake has its origins in nineteenth-century France, where it became associated with Parisian artists, writers, and critics, including ThÃ©ophile Gautier and Charles Baudelaire. These figures and others put forward the idea that art should stand apart from all thematic, moral, and social concerns - a significant break from the post-Renaissance artistic tradition represented by contemporary academic painting, which favored historical and mythical scenes, and held that art should have a clear ethical message often connected to religion or state power. Although Art for Art's Sake withdrew from all political and ideological concerns, it was nonetheless radical in rejecting the moralizing standards of its day. Artists such as Aubrey Beardsley delighted in shocking polite taste through images which had sexual or grotesque overtones. In this regard, Art for Art's Sake was often implicitly radical, and its program of seeking scandal informed the more politically charged activities of subsequent movements such as Dada and Futurism. Although the term Art for Art's Sake fell out of favor by the end of the nineteenth century, the idea it stood for - that art had a value which stood apart from subject-matter, purely connected to formal qualities such as line, color, and tone - remained highly significant. Some such notion is at the basis of all abstractionabstraction, for example. Art for Art Sake can thus be seen to have predicted the work of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, for example, as well as the work of the Abstract Expressionists. The Important Artists and Works of Art for Art's Sake Beginnings The Literary World and ThÃ©ophile Gautier The Swiss writer Benjamin Constant is thought to have been the first person to use the phrase "art for art's sake," in an 1804 diary entry. But the term is most often credited to the French philosopher Victor Cousin, who publicized it in his lectures of 1817-18. The idea of Art for Art's Sake - that art should not be judged on its relationship to social, political, or moral values, but purely for its formal and aesthetic qualities, first became popular amongst writers, encouraged by the French novelist ThÃ©ophile Gautier. In the preface to his novel Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835), Gautier wrote that "nothing is really beautiful unless it is useless; everything useful is ugly." Gautier had first studied painting before turning to literature and, subsequently, he became a leading art critic, so that he influenced both the literary and visual-art worlds. The poet Charles Baudelaire, a famous art critic in his own right, dedicated his groundbreaking poetry collection Les Fleurs du Mal (1857) to Gautier, whom he called "a perfect magician of French letters." In 1862 Gautier was elected chairman of the SociÃ©tÃ© Nationale des Beaux-Arts (National Society of Fine Arts) by a board that included Ãdouard Manet, EugÃ¨ne Delacroix, and Gustave DorÃ© among others. Gautier's view that aesthetic beauty was central to the value of art, and that thematically suggestive or didactic work often lacked this quality, became widely influential in securing the reputation of the Aesthetic movement. James Abbott McNeill Whistler The American painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler is generally credited with pioneering the concept of Art for Art's Sake within the visual arts. In his idiosyncratic art manifesto "The Red Rag" (1878) he wrote that "[a]rt should be independent of all clap-trap - should stand alone [...] and appeal to the artistic sense of eye or ear, without confounding this with emotions entirely foreign to it, as devotion, pity, love, patriotism and the like." Whistler's assertion that visual art should not promote any particular subject-matter led him to compare it to the purely abstract domain of music. With reference to his "nocturnes," such as Nocturne in Blue and Gold: Old Battersea Bridge (c. 1872-75), he described painting as "pure music," noting that "Beethoven and the rest wrote music [...] they constructed celestial harmonies [...] pure music." In emphasizing the value of art for its own sake, Whistler helped to establish both the Aesthetic movement and Tonalism, the former movement having great currency in Britain, the latter in North America. In 1893, the critic George Moore, in his book Modern Painting, wrote that, "[m]ore than any other painter, Mr. Whistler's influence has made itself felt on English art. More than any other man, Mr Whistler has helped to purge art of the vice of subject and belief that the mission of the artist is to copy nature." Aesthetic Movement By 1860 the Aesthetic movement had emerged, coalescing around the influential idea of Art for Art's Sake, with its base in the United Kingdom. Informed by Whistler's pioneering work and Gautier's criticism, the movement became associated particularly with images of female beauty set against the decadence of the classical world, as exemplified by the work of artists such as Albert Joseph Moore and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Aestheticism also overlapped with the worldview of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris. These artists were wrapped up with what has been dubbed the "Cult of Beauty," a concept closely connected to the ideals of Art for Art's Sake, and suggesed that the formal power of the art work mattered above all else. However, many Pre-Raphaelites, such as Morris, were also invested in utopian politics, informed by an idealistic notion of the social structures of the medieval era. This suggests that the ideas of Art for Art's sake informed a slightly wider range of artistic philosophies than is sometimes imagined. The canonical art critic Walter Pater became a leading proponent of Aestheticism. In his influential book The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry (1873) he stated that "art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality of your moments as they pass, and simply for these moments' sake." In so doing, he extended the concept of Art for Art's Sake to define the kind of experience that a viewer should derive from a particular artwork, rather than merely applying it to the artist's intentions. The illustrator and pen-and-ink artist Aubrey Beardsley, who died in 1898 at the age of just 25, played several important roles in the development of Aestheticism - beyond his connection with the more famous Oscar Wilde. Beardsley's sketches, critical commentaries, and editorship of The Yellow Book, a literary magazine published in London from 1894 to 1897, all left their mark on the emergence of formalistic and Decadent strains during the British fin-de-siÃ¨cle (the end of the nineteenth century). In fact, the literary content of The Yellow Book often represented fairly traditional veins within art criticism, while in terms of visual layout, as the art historian Linda Dowling writes, "[the] asymmetrically placed titles, lavish margins, abundance of white space, and relatively square page declare The Yellow Book's specific and substantial debt to Whistler." Nonetheless, the journal's garish color - which associated it with illicit French novels - and Beardsley's often uncanny and grotesque illustrations, made the journal widely influential and ensured its scandalous reputation. Decadent Movement The Decadent movement, which began in the 1880s, developed alongside the Aesthetic movement and shared roots in the mid-nineteenth, with Beardsley a significant figure in both schools. The Decadent movement, however, was particularly associated with France, notably with the work of the French-based Belgian artist FÃ©licien Rops. Rops was a peer of Charles Baudelaire, who had proudly declared himself a "decadent" in his Les Fleurs du Mal ("The Flowers of Evil") (1857), after which time the term became synonymous with a rejection of nineteenth-century banality, puritanism, and sentimentality. In 1886, the publication of the magazine Le DÃ©cadent in France gave the Decadent movement its name. ThÃ©ophile Gautier, for his part, saw the principles of decadence as reflecting a point of advanced aesthetic and cultural evolution - not to say fatigue and decay - within Western societies. "Art [has] arrived at that point of extreme maturity that determines civilizations which have grown old; ingenious, complicated, clever, full of delicate hints and refinements [...] listening to translate subtle confidences, confessions of depraved passions, and the odd hallucinations of a fixed idea turning to madness." In the Decadent movement, Art for Art's Sake meant not so much an emphasis on pure formal beauty as an ostentatious rejection or mockery of the ideologies and social positions for which art might have been expected to stand. The Decadents, arguably led by Aubrey Beardsley in Britain - who was also central to the Aesthetic movement - emphasized the erotic, the scandalous, and the disturbing. The Yellow Book pioneered the trend of decadence in art, with Beardsley's drawings rumored in the press to be filled with hidden (or not so hidden) erotic and lewd references, emphasizing his defiance of Victorian moralism. As the art historian Sabine Doran writes, "from the moment of its conception, The Yellow Book presents itself as having a close relationship with the culture of scandal; it is, in fact, one of the progenitors of this culture." Tonalism The art of Tonalism, mainly based in North America, held no truck with the scandal-seeking decadence of Beardsley and his peers. However, with their glowing, mist-filled, atmospheric landscapes, the Tonalists pioneered a style that was, in its own way, equally committed to the notion of Art for Art's Sake. Whistler was a lodestar for these artists. As the art historian David Adams Cleveland notes, Tonalism's "emphasis on balanced design, subtle patterning, and a kind of otherworldly equipoise came directly out of the Aesthetic movement and the work and artistic philosophy of Art for Art's Sake promoted by its greatest exponent, James McNeil Whistler." In works such as Nocturne: The River at Battersea (1878), Whistler emphasized mood and atmosphere while exploring a simplified, almost abstract landscape in terms of its color tonalities. Art critic Grace Glueck describes Tonalism as "not really a movement, but a mix of tendencies that began to drift together around 1870." "[I]t remained a style without a name," she adds, "until the mid-1890s." Tonalism became a touchstone within US art, associated in particular with the North-American painters George Inness and Albert Pinkham Ryder, as well as the photographer Edward Steichen. Whistler vs. Ruskin Many of the principles of Art for Art's Sake were publicly exclaimed by James Abbott McNeill Whistler during a famous libel case, which pitted his views against those of the Victorian art critic John Ruskin. The roots of the dispute were in the founding of the Grosvenor gallery in London in 1877. The gallery promoted the Aesthetic movement, and, as Fiona MacCarthy notes, became a "fashionable talking shop. The gallery's proximity to the Royal Academy polarized opinion about the techniques and purposes of art." It was this polarization of opinion which led Ruskin, a proponent of more traditional technical and moral values within art, to dismiss Whistler's Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket (1875), shown in the first Grosvenor exhibition, as the equivalent of "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." Never shy of publicity, Whistler sued Ruskin for libel, and the case came to court in 1878. During the legal proceedings, Ruskin used a portrait of Vincenzo Catena's Portrait of the Doge, Andrea Gritti (1523-31), then thought to be painted by Titian, as an example of "real art" meant to counter Whistler's painting. By arguing his right to freedom from pre-imposed artistic standards, Whistler won the case. However, he was awarded only a single farthing in damages, and his legal expenses and the public controversy which the episode had caused severely impacted on his career, to the extent that he was forced to declare bankruptcy, subsequently moving to Paris. Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetic Movement Teapot Following Whistler's trial, the British public, as well as a number of powerful cultural figures, turned against the Aesthetic movement, and what they perceived as the indulgence and immorality of Art for Art's Sake. In 1881, the English dramatist W.S. Gilbert premiered Patience, a musical satirizing the leading Aesthetes, while cartoons lampooning Aestheticism appeared frequently in Punch, the leading British magazine of satire and humor. Oscar Wilde, by this time already an established writer and a cultural celebrity, was often the target for attacks with homophobic overtones. As the art historian Sally-Anne Huxtable writes, he was "the most famous Aesthete of them all [...] at that time dressing in velvet breeches, lecturing on the topic of Art and supposedly quipping that he was 'finding it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue and white china'." In 1882, playing off the success of W.S. Gilbert's Patience, which had included a character based on Wilde called Bunthorne, the designer James Hadley, employed at the famous Royal Worcester Porcelain Factory, created his so-called Aesthetic Movement Teapot. This piece mocks the ideals of aestheticism, particularly what was seen as its blurring of traditional gender roles. On the base of the pot appears the phrase "Fearful Consequences Through The Laws of Natural Selection & Evolution of Living up to One's Teapot," an allusion to Wilde's comment and to the idea - inferred by the public - that the Aesthetes thought they could make themselves beautiful by surrounding themselves with beautiful objects. (The line also mocks Darwin's recently published and not yet accepted theory of natural selection.) As Huxtable notes, the message of the work embodied "the self-styled 'sensible' and 'manly' world of the Victorian mainstream press", which "saw Aesthetes as effete poseurs." However, she also adds that the work became "the most iconic design object associated with British Aestheticism." This said, the artistic debate that Hadley alluded to, masked an uglier hostility towards the homosexual tendencies seen to be wrapped up in ideas of Art for Art's Sake. Presenting a young man on one side and a young woman on the other, the teapot suggests the erosion of the traditional masculine and feminine qualities, encapsulating what Huxtable calls "the hysterical fears circulating in the 1880s about the effects that effeminacy and the blurring of gender roles might have on the future British population." These fears placed figures like Wilde in the spotlight, and in 1895, after two trials and much public scandal, he was sentenced to prison and two years' hard labor after being convicted of "gross indecency" for homosexual acts. Concepts and Trends Philosophy The idea of aesthetic experience that informed Art for Art's Sake arguably has its roots in the work of eighteenth-century philosopher Immanuel Kant, who held that the true appreciation of art was a process disconnected from all worldly concerns. Subsequent eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists and thinkers, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, and Thomas Carlyle, built upon Kant's ideas. Schiller's Briefe Ã¼ber die Ã¤sthetische Erziehung des Menschen (1795) ("On the Aesthetic Education of Man"), inspired by Kant, developed the idea that appreciating art took the viewer away from social, political, or otherwise 'non-artistic' concerns: "beauty cajoles from [man] a delight in things for their own sake." As a result, when Benjamin Constant first used the phrase "art for art's sake" in 1804, he was coining a memorable phrase that captured an already important philosophical trend. Art Criticism A number of nineteenth-century art critics, particularly ThÃ©ophile Gautier and Walter Pater, did much to establish the ideas of Art for Art's Sake. Pater famously described the possession of an artistic sensibility as meaning "[t]o burn always with [a] hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life." As art historian Rachel Gurstein writes, "[s]uch an elevated, if extravagant, ideal of art demanded a new kind of criticism that would match, and even surpass, the intensity of the impressions that a painting evoked in the sensitive viewer, and the aesthetic critic responded with ardent prose poems of his own." She adds that "proper Victorians thought such a view of art and criticism immoral and irreligious. They were appalled by what they perceived as its decadence." Effect on Art History With their passionate criticism, Gautier and Pater influenced the evaluation not just of contemporary art but also of the Renaissance and classical work that influenced it. Rejecting the story-telling style and moral subject-matter of classical history painting, exemplified by Raphael and favored by the traditional academies, these two critics rediscovered the work of artists such as Botticelli. Additionally, as Rochelle Gurstein writes of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (c. 1503-19), "[a]lthough many writers associated with the art-for-art's sake movement in France and England paid enthusiastic tribute to the painting, Theophile Gautier and Walter Pater are now best known for launching it on its modern path to what is now inelegantly called 'iconicity.'" Gautier described the "strange, almost magic charm which the portrait of Mona Lisa has for even the least enthusiastic natures." In his book The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry (1873), Pater called Mona Lisa "the symbol of the modern idea," in a lyrical passage that continues to inform our idea of what the painting represents. As Rachel Gurstein notes, "[i]n an incantatory paragraph, Pater portrayed the Mona Lisa in language that eclipsed Gautier's rhapsody and would relegate Giorgio Vasari to history. Indeed, this single passage so completely formed the imagination and the vision of art lovers who read it that no one - from Oscar Wilde to Bernard Berenson to Kenneth Clark - could speak of the Mona Lisa without uttering in the same breath that he, like everyone else of his generation, had committed Pater's luminous words to memory." Opponents of Art for Art's Sake From the beginning, the idea that art should be judged solely on a set of isolated aesthetic or formal criteria was opposed by a range of creatives and thinkers. Academic painters rejected the work associated with Art for Art's Sake as frivolous, lacking the moral purpose offered by the classical subjects which the Academy favored. Ruskin's criticism of Whistler's work encapsulates some aspects of this position. Just as it was criticized by traditionalists, Art for Art's Sake also gradually fell afoul of emerging avant-garde trends in the arts. Gustave Courbet, the pioneer of Realism, generally seen as the first modern art movement, consciously distanced his aesthetic approach from Art for Art's Sake in 1854, while also rejecting the standards of the academy, presenting them as two sides of the same coin: "I was the sole judge of my painting [...] I had practiced painting not in order to make Art for Art's Sake, but rather to win my intellectual freedom." Courbet's position anticipated that of many forward-thinking artists who felt, as the novelist George Sand wrote in 1872, that "Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for." Modernism and Avant-Garde trends in art increasingly became associated not with a mere decadent rejection of academic and Victorian morals, but with the proposition of alternative social, political, and ethical ideals. Later Developments According to the Victoria and Albert Museum, "[t]he Aesthetic project finally ended following the scandal of the trial, conviction and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde for homosexuality in 1895. The fall of Wilde effectively discredited the Aesthetic Movement with the general public, though many of its ideas and styles remained popular into the 20th century." With the decline of the Aesthetic movement, the phrase "art for art's sake" fell out of fashion, though it continued to exert a presence, often notably, in other countries. In St. Petersburg in 1899 Sergei Diaghilev, along with LÃ©on Bakst and Alexandre Benois, founded the magazine Mir iskusstva ("World of Art"). The magazine was allied with a group of young artists in St. Petersburg which had formed the World of Art movement the preceding year. Promoting Art for Art's Sake and artistic individualism, the group had perhaps its greatest impact through the formation of the groundbreaking Ballets Russes, which Diaghilev founded in 1907, and which operated until 1927. The idea of Art for Art's Sake had a profound if somewhat paradoxical influence on avant-garde art. As art historian Doug Singsen notes, "the avant-garde was not simply a negation of l'art pour l'art but rather both a negation and continuation of it." Many leading twentieth-century artists dismissed it. Pablo Picasso stated "[t]his idea of art for art's sake is a hoax," while Wassily Kandinsky wrote that "[t]his neglect of inner meanings, which is the life of colours, this vain squandering of artistic power is called 'art for art's sake.'" Nonetheless, the concept was often met with ambiguity. Kandinsky empathized with the concept to a limited extent, describing it as "an unconscious protest against materialism, against the demand that everything should have a use and practical value." The leading art critic Clement Greenberg, who promoted Abstract Expressionism in the post-World War II era, build his concepts of medium specificity and formalism upon the groundwork of Art for Art's Sake. As art historian Anna Lovatt writes, "Greenberg expanded the concept of art's autonomy as he developed his concept of medium specificity." Contemporary art historian Paul BÃ¼rger described the concept of Art for Art's Sake as fundamental to the evolution of the avant-garde and modernism in his influential 1974 text Theory of the Avant-Garde: "the autonomy of art is a category of bourgeois society. It permits the description of art's detachment from the context of practical life as a historical development." Social historian Rochelle Gurstein notes that "Pater's style was a harbinger of modernity." His influence continued into the twentieth century, particularly among noted critics and writers. Contemporary critic Denis Donoghue describes Pater's influence as "a shade or trace in virtually every writer of significance from [Gerard Manley] Hopkins and [Oscar] Wilde to [John] Ashbery." During the era of postmodernism in literary studies, many critics also took an interest in Pater's worldview as a precursor to modern ideas of "deconstruction." In 1991, scholar Jonathan Loesberg argued in Aestheticism and Deconstruction: Pater, Derrida, and de Man that aestheticism and modern deconstruction produced similar forms of philosophical knowledge and political effect through a process of self-questioning or "self-resistance," and through the internal critique and destabilization of hegemonic truths. In 2011 the Victoria & Albert Museum held The Cult of Beauty exhibition on the aesthetic movement. As curator Stephen Calloway noted, "the idea of looking at an art movement where, consciously, beauty and quality are central ideas, seems to me extraordinarily timely," suggesting that Art for Art's Sake is an idea with ongoing currency in the information and opinion-saturated contemporary world.

He was a leading exponent of art for art's sake—the belief that formal, aesthetic beauty is the sole purpose of a work of art.	en	/sites/default/files/favicon.ico		https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/literature-and-arts/french-literature-biographies/theophile-gautier	Théophile Gautier BORN: 1811, Tarbes, France DIED: 1872, Paris, France NATIONALITY: French GENRE: Fiction, poetry, drama MAJOR WORKS: Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835) Enamels and Cameos and Other Poems (1852) History of Romanticism (1874) Overview Gautier's extraordinary worship of beauty—physical, tangible, intellectual, and even moral—colors his work across a multitude of genres. Gautier's importance as a writer comes from his strong belief that an artist should concern himself or herself only with portraying, to the best of his or her ability, the beauties of the art form itself. That belief became known in English as “art for art's sake” and influenced an entire movement of writers in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Works in Biographical and Historical Context Boarding School, Artistic Studies, and Meeting Victor Hugo Gautier was born in Tarbes, in southwestern France, on August 30, 1811. When he was three years old, the family relocated to Paris, where his father, Pierre, took a post as a government official. At the age of eleven, the boy enrolled in the Collège Louis-le-Grand; then, after an unhappy experience as a boarding student there, he moved as a day student to the Collège Charlemagne. There, he met Gérard Labrunie, later known by his pen name, Gérard de Nerval, who became his lifelong friend. During this period, Gautier began to study painting and to write poetry. In 1829, Gérard introduced Gautier to the already-famous Victor Hugo. Dazzled by Hugo's presence and position as leader of the new Romantic school, Gautier enthusiastically supported Hugo's theatrical endeavors with his flamboyant behavior at the premiere of Hugo's play Hernani (1830), a performance that marked victory in the campaign to gain critical respect for Romantic drama. Shocking the Bourgeoisie Gautier was now part of the Parisian literary and artistic bohemia. With Nerval, Pétrus Borel, and other would-be artists and writers, Gautier formed the Petit Cénacle, delighting in a boisterously defiant campaign to “shock the bourgeoisie.” This group gradually merged into the so-called Groupe du Doyenné. New members joined in their free-living ways, their eager quest for critical recognition—on their own terms—and their continuing efforts to unsettle the middle class. Gautier was not above exploiting his bohemian associations. In The Young-France, Stories in Jesting Manner (1933), he evoked their escapades and their assaults on middle-class values, all the while poking fun at their more absurd eccentricities. Career as a Critic In 1836, having already displayed a solid knowledge of art and artistic technique in occasional critical articles, Gautier found a post as an art critic for Emile de Girardin's new daily newspaper, the Presse. In 1837, with Nerval, he also began to share the duties of theater reviewer for the Presse. Gautier soon took over full responsibility for the theater column; every week for nineteen years, except for periods of absence now and then from Paris, he turned in to Girardin a review of current theatrical offerings. Every spring, he produced a series of articles in which he critiqued the paintings and sculptures being exhibited in the annual Salon. Gautier held the two positions on the Presse until 1855, when he left his sometimes bumpy association with Girardin to take over the art and drama columns of the Moniteur Universel, the official newspaper of the French government. Here he remained until 1869, when he joined the new government-sanctioned daily, the Journal Officiel. His tenure there was short. With the German victory in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the French empire fell and the Journal Officiel ceased publication. Two independent dailies, however, the Gazette de Paris and the Commonweal, were happy to employ Gautier; he was able to pursue his journalistic work until a few months before his death in 1872. Strained Familial Relations, Civil Strife, and Nostalgia During Gautier's last years, journalism became ever more tiresome. His refusal to approve his daughter Judith's marriage in 1866 resulted in severely strained relations in his family. The Prussian siege of Paris in 1870 and the subsequent civil strife in 1871 brought physical trials, domestic displacements, fears for the safety of family members, and uncertainties in his professional life. His health was deteriorating. He sought escape not in exoticism, but in a nostalgic return to his festive days as a young partisan of the Romantic cause. He was writing his recollections of this happy time when he died on October 23, 1872. The unfinished History of Romanticism (1874) remains one of Gautier's most precious legacies. Works in Literary Context Gautier holds an important place in French letters as a transitional figure between Romanticism and realism. Beginning his career as an impassioned partisan of Victor Hugo, he ended his career as a close friend of Gustave Flaubert. Gautier's proximity to other artists within the Groupe du Doyenné and other literary circles significantly influenced the trajectory of his work. “Art for Art's Sake” Gautier's rejection of an ideological mission in art and his call for a nonutilitarian outlook in the artist made him recognized as a leader in the “art for art's sake” movement. His preface to Mademoiselle de Maupin stands as the principal manifesto of l'art pour l'art, with its uncompromising claim that art in whatever form has no other aim and no other morality than the creation of beauty. Exoticism in Attention to Detail Indeed, one of the most evident features in Gautier's writings is exoticism defined by an incredible attention to detail. It may be contemporary, as in his evocations of the countries that he visited, or may involve an imaginative reconstruction of earlier times, like the world of ancient Greece or the age of Louis XIII. Whatever the time or place, Gautier situates his reader in a palpable world. He uses his background as an artist to describe cities, with their buildings, their monuments, and their street scenes, in minute detail. He celebrates ceremonies, processions, and crowd scenes, not forgetting to pay close attention to the smallest seam on his characters' clothing. In his language, he is careful to correctly employ the technical vocabulary particular to the specific time, milieu, or activity he is trying to effectively represent. Influence of Art for Art's Sake Gautier's collection Enamels and Cameos and Other Poems went through an exceptional six editions in twenty years. Because of its visual inclination—its dedication to art for art's sake—the collection inspired Charles Baudelaire to write his famous Flowers of Evil, released in 1909. Baudelaire dedicated his collection of poems to Gautier: “To the impeccable poet, to the perfect magician in letters, to my dear and revered master and friend Théophile Gautier, with the deepest humility I dedicate these sickly flowers.” When, at Gautier's death, the editor Alphonse Lemerre invited contributions to a memorial volume honoring the author of Enamels and Cameos and Other Poems, no fewer than eighty contemporaries sent poems, among them the acknowledged greats of the day—Hugo, Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle, Stéphane Mallarmé, and the English poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. Further, his doctrine of ‘l'art pour l'art’—art for art's sake—is probably better known than Gautier himself. Works in Critical Context Because of his exceptional flair for language, Gautier became one of the best-known authors of his day; his work, on the whole, was well-received and appreciated by his contemporaries for its artistic merit. French poet and critic Charles Baudelaire praised Gautier for his imagination, style, and passion for beauty, calling him finally “a perfect man of letters.”. Gautier put his heart into his creative works. Though sometimes criticized for ignoring plot and character, he was acknowledged as a stylist for whom the evocation of natural beauty was paramount. “I am one for whom the visible world exists,” he said, and for many modern critics this statement defines the limits of his artistic vision: His narrative coherence often suffers in order that he may give an exact description of a setting. LITERARY AND HISTORICAL CONTEMPORARIES Gautier's famous contemporaries include: Mark Twain (1835–1910): American author, best known for his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Victor Hugo (1802–1885): French novelist and dramatist known for works like The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1832) and Les Misérables (1862). Emily Brontë (1818–1848): English novelist whose Wuthering Heights (1847) remains a popular choice for film adaptation. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859): French historian who documented and commented upon the rise in equality among the classes and focused specifically on democracy in America. John Stuart Mill (1806–1873): British philosopher who championed the rights of women, in addition to writing extensively in defense of his philosophical system, utilitarianism, which emphasizes the importance of providing the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. Gregor Mendel (1822–1884): Austrian chemist whose study of pea plants ultimately led to our understanding of genetics. Modern Criticism: Gautier's Dehumanization of Art Critic Raymond Giraud finds that Gautier's dedication to art for art's sake, distances the writer from some of the mundane and even painful realities of life. In his article “Gautier's Dehumanization of Art” (1963), published in L'Esprit Createur he writes, “The [art for art's sake] doctrine of impassiveness has its positive side, its strong conviction of the intrinsic value of art; but it also could be a doctrine of retreat from the painfulness of life.” Similarly, critic Hilda Nelson argues that Gautier's handling of past and present in his fantastical novels serve to neutralize time, decay, and death, thus preserving in art the “dreams that men create for their salvation and happiness.” In her article “Theophile Gautier: The Invisible and Impalpable World: A Demi-Conviction” (1972), published in The French Review, Nelson writes, “Gautier, too, became aware that desires and fears, the limitations of time and space, death and disintegration, could be resolved in the creative act, art, and that art alone was capable of reproducing, in permanent form, the dreams men create for their salvation and happiness.” Responses to Literature Gautier's work is often criticized for losing track of plot and action and, instead, favoring beautiful descriptions. Read Mademoiselle de Maupin. To what extent does this criticism apply to this novel? Explain your response in a short essay. In a discussion with a group of peers, compare Gautier's expression of art for art's sake with David Lynch's in his film Eraserhead. How do the different media used to fulfill the doctrine of art for art's sake affect the artists' interpretation of the doctrine? In other words, what can Lynch do with film that Gautier cannot do with either his poetry or fiction, and vice versa? Proponents of the art for art's sake movement felt that there was something disingenuous about expecting a piece of art to convey social, moral, or religious messages. Yet, many of our oldest and most revered stories contain just such morals—consider Aesop's “The Tortoise and the Hare.” Using the Internet and the library, research the art for art's sake movement and some of the criticisms leveled against it. Then, in a short essay, briefly describe the opposing positions and offer your opinion about the disagreement. Contrast the success of Gautier's poetic works with that of his theater criticism. Describe your emotional reactions to both. COMMON HUMAN EXPERIENCE The art for art's sake movement in literature was a reaction against the then-popular belief that art, both visual and literary, must contain some kind of moral or religious message to be meaningful. The adherents of the doctrine believe that art should be produced simply for the sake of art itself and emphasize the beauty of the art form over its social usefulness. Gautier's extensive critical and creative output helped popularize this view, but he was neither the first nor the greatest producer of art created for art's sake. Here are a few examples of work produced by likeminded artists: “The Poetic Principle” (1850, posthumous), an essay by Edgar Allan Poe. In this work, Poe argues that what people respond to most in poetry is not its message but the beauty of the poem itself, and that the best poem is written only for the poem's sake—a kind of precursor for the broader assertion that art should be produced for art's sake only. Flowers of Evil (1857), a poetry collection by Charles Baudelaire. In this collection of poetry, as with many Baudelaire pieces, he conveys not the beauty of the world around him but rather vividly describes some of the vilest aspects of his subjects. As such, the text represents a different understanding of art for art's sake, one which strays into an overlapping literary movement called Decadence. Whistler's Mother (1871), a painting by James Whistler. Whereas Gautier was often criticized for the excessive nature of his descriptions, this painting by Whistler, a strong proponent of art for art's sake, shows that beauty can consist of a simple portrait of one's mother. “The Soul of Man Under Socialism” (1891), an essay by Oscar Wilde. In this work, Wilde argues that when an artist attempts to conform to what is expected from his or her art form—in this context, the moral or religious—rather than following his or her own muse, he or she thereby loses the title “artist.” Eraserhead (1977), a film directed by David Lynch. This cult film utilizes the peculiar ability of film to seamlessly move between the dream world and the “real” world of its main character and, like Gautier's work, focuses on the images it presents over its narrative. The film represents a distinctively modern interpretation of the art movement that Gautier and Poe started over a century before its creation. BIBLIOGRAPHY Books Dillingham, Louise Bulkley.

His prolific work, marked by realism and psychological finesse, continues to influence generations of writers. In this text, we will delve into the life, work, and literary legacy of Maupassant. The life of Maupassant Guy de Maupassant was born on August 5, 1850 in Tourville-sur-Arques, a small village in Normandy, into a family of the lower nobility. He thus evolved in an environment marked by the traditions and values of his social environment and a particularly rich regional culture. This immersion in a provincial society, far from the splendor of Paris, profoundly influenced his vision of French civilization. After studying at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, Maupassant, however, had the opportunity to immerse himself in the intellectual excitement of the French capital: it was there that he made the decisive meeting with Gustave Flaubert, a renowned writer who would become his mentor. Under the tutelage of Flaubert, Maupassant refined his view of French society, learning to observe the smallest details of everyday life to better transcribe them in his works. During his first steps in working life, Maupassant was confronted with bureaucracy and the routine of administrative work. This experience allowed him to understand the workings of French society, its social classes, its hierarchies and its aspirations. These careful observations, combined with his own experiences, nourished his imagination and provided him with raw material for his future stories. The Work of Maupassant Guy de Maupassant, through his vast and varied work, remains a pillar of French realistic literature. Mainly known for his short stories, he excels in the art of depicting daily life in 19th century France with striking precision. His stories, imbued with his lucid view of society, explore a multitude of themes and situations, thus offering a living portrait of the French civilization of his time. “Boule de Suif”, one of his most famous short stories, perfectly illustrates his talent for denouncing a certain social hypocrisy: by featuring varied characters, from different social classes, Maupassant exposes the tensions and contradictions of the French company of the time. In his novel “Bel-Ami”, Maupassant explores the workings of ambition and corruption in Paris at the end of the 19th century. Through the character of Georges Duroy, an unscrupulous careerist, he offers a scathing critique of bourgeois society and its moral values. “Le Horla”, for its part, marks a turning point in Maupassant’s work by exploring the themes of madness and the perception of reality. This fantastic short story, where the narrator is haunted by inexplicable hallucinations, demonstrates his talent for playing with the boundaries between reality and imagination. key themes Through his abundant work, Guy de Maupassant explores a multitude of themes that resonate with 19th century French society and thus offers the reader the opportunity to discover a part of French history. The human condition occupies a central place in Maupassant’s work: the writer thus realistically depicts the aspirations, weaknesses and torments of his characters, whether they come from the Parisian bourgeoisie or the provincial working class. It thus offers a gallery of living portraits, where unfulfilled dreams, devouring passions and cruel disillusionments mingle. Vanity is another recurring theme in Maupassant’s work. Through his stories, he ironically denounces the obsession with appearance and the disastrous consequences of the incessant quest for social recognition. “La Parure”, Maupassant’s emblematic short story, offers a poignant illustration of this theme, where a woman sacrifices everything for appearance and suffers the terrible consequences. Other inexhaustible themes, greed and corruption are also frequently explored with finesse by Maupassant. In “Bel-Ami”, he highlights the shenanigans and moral compromises that an ambitious careerist is willing to engage in to climb the ranks of Parisian society. This harsh criticism of bourgeois values reveals Maupassant’s uncompromising view of human nature and its failings, the work remaining today a reference for lovers of French literature. Literary style Maupassant’s literary style is characterized by its elegant simplicity and almost “surgical” precision, making him one of the undisputed masters of 19th century French literature. At a time when certain authors favored grandiloquence and linguistic ornaments, Maupassant opted for spare prose, direct, but no less powerful. His writing, free from embellishments, goes straight to the point, captivating the reader from the first lines with its clarity and effectiveness. Each word, each sentence is carefully chosen to serve the story and the characters, without ever weighing down the text. This economy of means gives his works a remarkable intensity, allowing total immersion in the universe he depicts. Maupassant also excels in the art of dialogue, offering authentic and impactful exchanges between his characters. These dialogues, imbued with the spoken language of the time, help to bring his stories to life and create a characteristic realistic and immersive atmosphere. Through his attention to detail and his ability to accurately render the nuances of language, Maupassant places his style in line with the great tradition of French literature. Ultimately, Maupassant’s refined and effective style testifies to his mastery of the art of writing and his desire to place the story and the characters at the heart of his work. His fluid, unadorned prose continues to captivate readers around the world, making him one of the emblematic figures of French literature and a model for future writers. An heritage intertwined with French culture Maupassant’s literary legacy still resonates today in French civilization and well beyond. His work, anchored in the reality of 19th century France, offers a precious testimony to the morals, values and concerns of his time. Through his ability to plumb the depths of the human soul and explore the workings of society, Maupassant left an indelible mark on French literature. His sharp look at the human condition and his lucid critique of bourgeois society also opened the way to a new form of realism in literature, influencing many writers to come. The themes addressed by Maupassant, such as vanity, ambition, solitude and madness, still resonate powerfully in contemporary French civilization, offering a timeless reflection on the dilemmas and paradoxes of human existence. By exploring the twists and turns of the human soul and accurately depicting the failings of society, Maupassant has contributed to enriching our understanding of human nature and the complexity of social relations. His literary legacy, although born in the 19th century, continues to inspire and captivate readers around the world, making him one of the most influential writers of French civilization and a true monument of universal literature.

Perhaps the extraordinary range and versatility of his artistic talents–poet, novelist, and travel writer, art, music and ballet critic–has caused scholars to regard his music criticism as superficial. Yet he was highly respected as a music critic for over 25 years and wrote hundreds of reviews, the majority of which have been little examined since the day they appeared. . The concept of the transposition d'art has often been used in discussions of romantic criticism of the arts, in which the criticism is a metaphorisation of the musical or artistic work. Gautier was passionately interested in the creative possibilities of a fusion of the arts (see in particular works such as his "Variations sur le Carnaval de Venise") and in his criticism he delights in viewing one art through the prism of another, whether it be describing architecture as music or music as a poetic narrative. Sainte-Beuve saw Gautier's novel Capitaine Fracasse as a series of transposed paintings and Maxime du Camp, using a fairly unusual understanding of the word “art”, even argued that the intensity of Gautier's lived experience in his travel writing could be called a transposition d'art. In his travel writings Gautier discusses chiefly folk song, street and cafe music. This article explores his use of language in his descriptions of this music, focusing in particular on Spain, and assess the extent to which it differs from his music criticism, and some of his short stories, (for instance Militona) from the same period. I shall also address the rhetorical question posed by Gautier himself in one of his reviews in La Presse, "L'Orient de l'Opéra, L'Espagne de convention, sont-ils supérieurs à l'Orient et l'Espagne réels?" (La Presse, 25 May, 1852).

Adèle appears to have the perfect life: She is a successful journalist in Paris who lives in a beautiful apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son. But underneath the surface, she is bored—and consumed by an insatiable need for sex. Driven less by pleasure than compulsion, Adèle organizes her day around her extramarital affairs, arriving late to work and lying to her husband about where she's been, until she becomes ensnared in a trap of her own making. Suspenseful, erotic, and electrically charged, Adèle is a captivating exploration of addiction, sexuality, and one woman's quest to feel alive. For French edition do an author search. [Dans le jardin de l'ogre : roman] Allah N'est Pas Oblige by Ahmadou Kourouma Call Number: PQ3989.2.K58 A55 2000 ISBN: 2020427877 Ahmadou Kourouma was born in 1927 in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) when it was still under French colonial control. He went to Indochina on French military campaigns and later studied in Lyon. He returned to Côte d'Ivoire in 1960 after it won its independence from France and was imprisoned and later exiled for over a decade before he returned to his homeland to live. He writes fiction and has spent his life criticizing the treatment of post-colonial governments in Africa. His book "Allah n'est pas obligé" is about an orphan who becomes a child soldier when traveling to Liberia to see his aunt. [Allah is Not Obliged] Beyond the Flames by Louise Dupre; Antonio D'Alfonso (Translator) Call Number: PQ3919.2.D849 P5813 2014 ISBN: 9781550718553 A woman, following a visit to Auschwitz, meditates on the possibility -- or impossibility -- of continuing to live, following the killing of millions in death camps. The subject is not new. But Louise Dupré makes this horror present again, while at the same time emphasising the need to go beyond it. Being a parent, as is the anonymous "you" in the book, is to both witness this horror and to raise children who are unaware of this terror, whose innocence seems to make perfect victims of them. It is to hold a child "above the flames", desperately seeking to protect them and, through them, to save ourselves. Louise Dupré is an award-winning Québécoise writer. She was director of Voix et Images: Litterature québécoise and taught at the University of Québec, Montréal. She was admitted to the Académie des lettres du Québec in 1999 and in 2002 into the Royal Society of Canada. She has won numerous awards including the Grand Prix de poésie, Prix Ringuet, and the Governor General's Award for French-language poetry for this book. [Plus haut que les flammes] Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan; Diane Johnson (Introduction by) Call Number: PQ2633.U74 B613 2001 ISBN: 0066211697 This is a good novel for intermediate students. Slightly more accessible than Anna Gavalda. Set against the translucent beauty of France in summer, Bonjour Tristesse is a bittersweet tale narrated by Cécile, a seventeen-year-old girl on the brink of womanhood, whose meddling in her father's love life leads to tragic consequences. Freed from boarding school, Cécile lives in unchecked enjoyment with her youngish, widowed father—an affectionate rogue, dissolute and promiscuous. Having accepted the constantly changing women in his life, Cécile pursues a sexual conquest of her own with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. Then, a new woman appears in her father's life. Feeling threatened but empowered, Cécile sets in motion a devastating plan that claims a surprising victim. Deceptively simple in structure, Bonjour Tristesse is a complex and beautifully composed portrait of casual amorality and a young woman's desperate attempt to understand and control the world around her.

Civilizations by Laurent Binet; Sam Taylor (Translator) Call Number: PQ2702.I57 C5813 2021 ISBN: 9780374600815 An ambitious and highly entertaining novel of revisionist history from the author of the international bestseller HHhH, Laurent Binet's Civilizations is nothing less than a strangely believable counterfactual history of the modern world, fizzing with ideas about colonization, empire-building, and the eternal human quest for domination. It is an electrifying novel by one of Europe's most exciting writers. Freydis is a woman warrior and leader of a band of Viking explorers setting out to the south. They meet local tribes, exchange skills, are taken prisoner, and get as far as Panama. But nobody ultimately knows what became of them. Fast forward five hundred years to 1492 and we're reading the journals of Christopher Columbus, mid-Atlantic on his own famous voyage of exploration to the Americas, dreaming of gold and conquest. But he and his men are taken captive by Incas. Even as their suffering increases, his faith in his superiority, and in his mission, is unshaken. Thirty years later, Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, arrives in Europe in the ships stolen from Columbus. He finds a continent divided by religious and dynastic quarrels, the Spanish Inquisition, Luther's Reformation, capitalism, the miracle of the printing press, endless warmongering between the ruling monarchies, and constant threat from the Turks. But most of all he finds downtrodden populations ready for revolution. Fortunately, he has a recent bestseller as a guidebook to acquiring power--Machiavelli's The Prince. The stage is set for a Europe ruled by Incas and Aztecs, and for a great war that will change history forever. The Confidant by Héléne Grémillon; Alison Anderson (Translator) Call Number: PQ2707.R47 C6613 2012 ISBN: 9780143121565 Camille sifts through letters of condolence after her mother's death when a strange, handwritten missive stops her short. At first she believes she received it by mistake. But then, a new letter arrives each week from a mysterious stranger, Louis, who seems intent on recounting the story of his first love, Annie. They were separated in the years before World War II when Annie befriended a wealthy, barren couple and fell victim to a merciless plot just as German troops arrive in Paris. But also awaiting Camille's discovery is the other side of the story, which will call into question Annie's innocence and reveal the devastating consequences of jealousy and revenge. As Camille reads on, she begins to realize that her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story. Originally published in French as Le Confident, 2010, Plon. Feu by Maria Pourchet Call Number: PQ2716.O84 F48 2021 ISBN: 9782213720784 Laure, a university teacher, is married, mother of two daughters and owner of a lodge. At 40, it seems to her to be the sum, not of her desires, but of effort and compromise. Clément, single, 50, is bored in finance, at the top of a glass tower, tired of the view it offers as much as of YouPorn.

[Fire] Frère d'âme : roman by David Diop; Anna Moschovakis (Translator) Call Number: PQ3989.2.D563 F74 2018 ISBN: 9780374266974 Selected by students across France to win the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, David Diop's English-language historical fiction debut, At Night All Blood is Black, is a "powerful, hypnotic, and dark novel" (Livres Hebdo) of terror and transformation in the trenches of the First World War. Alfa Ndiaye is a Senegalese man who, never before having left his village, finds himself fighting as a so-called "Chocolat" soldier with the French army during World War I. When his friend Mademba Diop, in the same regiment, is seriously injured in battle, Diop begs Alfa to kill him and spare him the pain of a long and agonizing death in No Man's Land. Unable to commit this mercy killing, madness creeps into Alfa's mind as he comes to see this refusal as a cruel moment of cowardice. Anxious to avenge the death of his friend and find forgiveness for himself, he begins a macabre ritual: every night he sneaks across enemy lines to find and murder a blue-eyed German soldier, and every night he returns to base, unharmed, with the German's severed hand. At first his comrades look at Alfa's deeds with admiration, but soon rumors begin to circulate that this super soldier isn't a hero, but a sorcerer, a soul-eater. Plans are hatched to get Alfa away from the front, and to separate him from his growing collection of hands, but how does one reason with a demon, and how far will Alfa go to make amends to his dead friend? Peppered with bullets and black magic, this remarkable novel fills in a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. Blending oral storytelling traditions with the gritty, day-to-day, journalistic horror of life in the trenches, David Diop's At Night All Blood is Black is a dazzling tale of a man's descent into madness. This book is exceptionally violent. Frères migrants by Patrick Chamoiseau Call Number: PQ3949.2.C45 F74 2017 ISBN: 9782021365290 Patrick Chamoiseau was born in Martinique in 1953 and is known for his work in the Créolité movement. He has won many awards including the Prix Goncourt in 1992 for his novel Texaco. Although he studied in Paris he returned to Martinique. "Poetry is at the service of nothing, nothing is at its service. It does not give orders and it does not receive any. It does not resist, it exists, that is how it is...To all that is contrary to the relational beauties of the living. When an unacceptable one arose somewhere, Édouard Glissant called me to tell me, 'We can't let this go!' He would press 'we can't.' It was always strange to me. We didn't have any power. We weren't connected to any power. We had only the fervor of our indignation. Yet it was on this fragility, to say the least trembling, that he based his right and his duty to intervene. beautiful human beings. I am not a poet, but, faced with the situation faced by migrants on all shores of the world, I imagined ́ that Édouard Glissant had called me, as some very vigilant friends called me. This declaration cannot act on the barbarity of borders and on the crimes committed there. It only serves to outline in us the way of another imaginary world. It's not a big deal. It is just a glimmer intended for the hygiene of the spirit. Perhaps one of those fireflies for the least of which Pier Paolo Pasolini would have given his life."

Strayer (Translator) Call Number: PQ2665.R67 Z46 2020 ISBN: 9781609809515 Another masterpiece of remembering from Annie Ernaux, the Man Booker International Prize-shortlisted author of The Years. In A Girl's Story, Annie Ernaux revisits the season fifty years earlier when she found herself overpowered by another's will and desire. In the summer of 1958, eighteen-year-old Ernaux submits her will to a man's, and then he moves on, leaving her without a "master," bereft. Now, fifty years later, she realizes she can obliterate the intervening years and return to consider this young woman that she wanted to forget completely. And to discover that here, submerged in shame, humiliation, and betrayal, but also in self-discovery and self-reliance, lies the origin of her writing life. Ernaux grew up in Normandy and is the recipient of countless prizes including Prix Renaudot for "La Place", Prix Marguerite-Duras for "Les Années", and the Prix de la langue française for the entirety of her oeuvre.

[Mémoire de fille] Honeymoon by Patrick Modiano Call Number: PQ2673.O3 V613 1995 ISBN: 0879239476 Patrick Modiano is a master storyteller and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. His works often examine and re-examine the period of WWII, German occupation and French Resistance. In 2010 the German translation of his first work, La Place de l'Étoile, (a wartime novel about a Jewish collaborator) won the German Preis der SWR-Bestenliste from the Südwestrundfunk radio station and was termed a major post-Holocaust work. His novels have been translated into over 30 languages and he has a loyal following. Jean B., the narrator of Modiano's Honeymoon, is submerged in a world where day and night, past and present, have no demarcations. Having spent his adult life making documentary films about lost explorers, Jean suddenly decides to abandon his wife and career, and takes what seems to be a journey to nowhere. He pretends to fly to Rio to make another film, but instead returns to his own Parisian suburb to spend his solitary days recounting or imagining the lives of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he had met twenty years before, and in whom he had recognized a spiritual anomie that seemed to reflect and justify his own. Little by little, their story takes on more reality than Jean's daily existence, as his excavation of the past slowly becomes an all-encompassing obsession. The New Yorker wrote, "Turning to invention to get at deeper realities of experience is fiction's righteous mission, and Honeymoon performs it beautifully. We all hold the keys to mysteries of our own making, Modiano tells us. If only we knew where we hid them." This is a singular literary experience, a masterpiece of world literature.

[Voyage de noces] In the Country of Others by Leila Slimani Call Number: PQ2719.L56 P3913 2021 ISBN: 9780143135975 The award-winning, #1 internationally bestselling new novel by the author of The Perfect Nanny, about a woman in an interracial marriage whose fierce desire for autonomy parallels her adopted country's fight for independence. The world of men is just like the world of botany. In the end, one species dominates another. One day, the orange will win out over the lemon, or vice versa, and the tree will once again produce fruit that people can eat. In her first new novel since The Perfect Nanny launched her onto the world stage and won her acclaim for her "devastatingly perceptive character studies" (The New York Times Book Review), Leila Slimani draws on her own family's inspiring story for the first volume in a planned trilogy about race, resilience, and women's empowerment. Mathilde, a spirited young Frenchwoman, falls in love with Amine, a handsome Moroccan soldier in the French army during World War II. After the war, the couple settles in Morocco. While Amine tries to cultivate his family farm's rocky terrain, Mathilde feels her vitality sapped by the isolation, the harsh climate, the lack of money, and the mistrust she inspires as a foreigner. Left increasingly alone to raise her two children in a world whose rules she does not understand, and with her daughter taunted at school by rich French girls for her secondhand clothes and unruly hair, Mathilde goes from being reduced to a farmer's wife to defying the country's chauvinism and repressive social codes by offering medical services to the rural population. As tensions mount between the Moroccans and the French colonists, Amine finds himself caught in the crossfire: in solidarity with his Moroccan workers yet also a landowner, despised by the French yet married to a Frenchwoman, and proud of his wife's resolve but ashamed by her refusal to be subjugated. All of them live in the country of others--especially the women, forced to live in the land of men--and with this novel, Leila Slimani issues the first salvo in their emancipation.

[Amour] My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle by Marcel Pagnol; Rita Barisse (Translator); Alice Waters (Foreword by) Call Number: PQ2631.A26 Z46613 1986 ISBN: 0865472572 Bathed in the warm clarity of the summer sun in Provence, Marcel Pagnol's childhood memories celebrate a time of rare beauty and delight.

[Gloire de mon père] Our Riches by Kaouther Adimi Call Number: PQ3989.3.A395 N6713 2020 ISBN: 9780811228152 Kaouther Adimi is a writer who was born in Algeria and grew up in both France and Algeria. Nos richesses (Our Riches) celebrates quixotic devotion and the love of books in the person of Edmond Charlot, who at the age of twenty founded Les Vraies Richesses (Our True Wealth), the famous (in real life) Algerian bookstore/publishing house/lending library. He more than fulfilled its motto "by the young, for the young," discovering the twenty-four-year-old Albert Camus in 1937. His entire archive was twice destroyed by French colonial forces, but despite financial difficulties (he was hopelessly generous) and the vicissitudes of wars and revolutions, Charlot (often compared to the legendary bookseller Sylvia Beach) carried forward Les Vraies Richesses as a cultural hub of Algiers. Our Riches interweaves Charlot's story with that of another twenty-year-old, Ryad (dispatched in 2017 to empty the old shop and repaint it). Ryad is no booklover, but old Abdallah, the bookshop's self-appointed, nearly illiterate guardian, opens the young man's mind. Cutting brilliantly from Charlot to Ryad, from the 1930s to current times, from WWII to the bloody 1961 Free Algeria demonstrations in Paris, Adimi delicately packs a monumental history of intense political drama into her swift and poignant novel. Most of all, it's a hymn to the book and to the love of books. Chris Andrews (Translator) Paris Stories by Mavis Gallant; Michael Ondaatje (Introduction by) Call Number: PR9199.3.G26 A6 2002 ISBN: 1590170229 Mavis Gallant is a Canadian who spent much of her life in Paris. She did not write in French, but she does lend a unique perspective and has an extensive body of work. She is a contemporary legend, a frequent contributor to The New Yorker for close to fifty years who has, in the words of The New York Times, "radically reshaped the short story for decade after decade." Michael Ondaatje's new selection of Gallant's work gathers some of the most memorable of her stories set in Europe and Paris, where Gallant has long lived. Mysterious, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, these are tales of expatriates and exiles, wise children and straying saints. Together they compose a secret history, at once intimate and panoramic, of modern times. Quand nos souvenirs viendront danser by Virginie Grimaldi Call Number: PQ2707.R55 Q36 2019 ISBN: 9782213709833 Virginie Grimaldi is one of the most widely-read authors in France. All of her novels have become bestsellers. She had a blog until 2018 called Femme Sweet Femme which helped her to begin writing books. Some characterize her writing as "chick lit" but she denies writing happy endings at the cost of a good story. This is one of her most popular novels. Not all of her novels are translated into English, but two popular novels are available in translation: How to Find Love in the Little Things and Chasing the Stars.

This daily grind is interrupted by the arrival of an aspiring young director, Chadlia. Chadlia enlists Jmiaa's help on a film project, initially just to make sure the plot and dialogue are authentic. But when she's unable to find an actress who's right for the starring role, she turns again to Jmiaa, giving the latter an incredible opportunity for a better life.

His most well-known work is La neige en deuil which was adapted into an English-language film in 1956, The Mountain. He was the longest-serving member of the Académie française. In this definitive portrait of one of the greatest novelists of all time, Leo Tolstoy embodies the most extraordinary contradictions. He was a wealthy aristocrat who preached the virtues of poverty and the peasant life, a misogynist who wrote Anna Karenina, and a supreme writer who declared: "Literature is rubbish." Yet his titanic personality and the astonishing range of his talents and interests made him, as an author and as a strange self-proclaimed prophet, one of the undisputed literary giants of the nineteenth century. From his famously bad marriage to his enormously successful career, Troyat presents a brilliant portrait that reads like an epic novel written by Tolstoy himself. Nancy Amphoux (Translator).

It is also an outrageous verbal stunt: a 300-page novel that never once employs the letter E. The year is 1968, and as France is torn apart by social and political anarchy, the noted eccentric and insomniac Anton Vowl goes missing. Ransacking his Paris flat, his best friends scour his diary for clues to his whereabouts. At first glance these pages reveal nothing but Vowl's penchant for word games, especially for "lipograms," compositions in which the use of a particular letter is suppressed. But as the friends work out Vowl's verbal puzzles, and as they investigate various leads discovered among the entries, they too disappear, one by one by one, and under the most mysterious circumstances. A book that only Georges Perec could have conceived, Time magazine called A Void, "...an absurdist nirvana of humor, pathos, and loss."

Although his reputation as a significant literary figure was already well established during his lifetime, today his novels are considered among the most important works of modern Western literature. Critics have often emphasized Flaubert's painstaking attention to detail and description in his prose, a stylistic trait that became a hallmark of his mature fiction writing and served to influence numerous writers who came after him. Owing to his scrupulous and often deliberate writing style, Flaubert sometimes took years and even decades to complete his novels. However, the personal journals that he kept regularly throughout his career and the copious letters he sent to cohorts and friends during his lifetime have provided an abundance of material detailing Flaubert's thoughts and craftsmanship. Though he is an iconic figure of the realist movement, Flaubert is equally well known for his imaginative Orientalist works of fiction. Edward Said identified Flaubert as an archetypical Orientalist of the nineteenth century, noting the themes of desire, sensuality, and exoticism that suffuse the author's writing on the East and Eastern civilization. Flaubert's Orientalism stemmed from an interest in antiquity and classical history, as well as an intellectual curiosity with regard to Christianity and religion in general. While various critics have insisted that Flaubert's realism and Orientalism are oppositional in nature and content--the first focusing on modern themes and the latter on antiquity--scholars assessing the place of the Orient in Flaubert's thought have often discouraged such a conception, claiming, as Ildikó Lorinszky has, that Flaubert's later Orientalist works were a synthesis of projects the author had worked on intermittently throughout his long literary career. Gustave Flaubert was born on 12 December 1821 in Rouen, a city situated in the northern province of Normandy. His father, Achille-Cléophas Flaubert, worked as a medical practitioner and surgeon, affording the family a comfortable bourgeois lifestyle in the provinces. Flaubert received his education at the Collège Royal and later the Lycée Impérial in Rouen. While attending to his studies, Flaubert worked under Adolphe Chéruel, a young professor who inspired in Flaubert an interest in history that would remain constant throughout the author's life. Many of Flaubert's earliest stories, written while he was still a student, revealed a fascination with historical themes, presenting medieval and Renaissance subjects derived from Chéruel's lessons. That interest perisisted; Flaubert's Orientalist works were greatly inspired by his love of antiquity, with his later novels embracing subjects set in ancient Rome and the early Christian world of the Near East. His fascination with the ancient East was already evident at the age of twelve when he made repeated visits to Rouen's harbor to view The Luxor, a boat carrying an obelisk transported from Egypt and destined for the Place de la Concorde in Paris, where it remains today. Flaubert revealed an interest in Orientalist themes from the start of his writing career. The stories he wrote while an adolescent were heavily influenced by the romantic Orientalism of literary figures such as Victor Hugo; Lord Byron, George Gordon; Alfred de Musset; and Francois-René de Chateaubriand. Much as in the works of these premier Orientalists of the day, Flaubert's conception of the Orient relied heavily upon themes of exoticism and desire, demonstrating a taste for fantasy and romantic reverie in his writing. In an early story titled "Rage et impussiance," written three days after his birthday in 1836, Flaubert narrated the fate of M. Ohmlin, a German doctor who takes opium and falls into a comatose state that leaves his servants and colleagues to believe that he is dead. Buried alive and facing his inevitable demise, Ohmlin dreams of voluptuous females and brilliant landscapes, evoking a sense of ecstatic fulfillment only attainable once the monotony and daily concerns of life have been relinquished. "He dreamed of the Orient!" Flaubert claimed; "the Orient with its burning sun, blue skies, gilded minarets and stone pagodas; the Orient with all its poetry and love of incense." As "Rage et impussiance" makes evident, Flaubert associated the Orient with the individual's escape from the concerns and formalities of daily life, and this sense of escapism was more pronounced in a second story, "La Spirale," written shortly after "Rage et impussiance." In "La Spirale" the painter Frédéric Moreau has just returned to Paris after living abroad in the East. Finding himself disillusioned with modern Parisian life upon his return, Moreau dreams of returning to the Orient, where the confines and formalities of modern Europe are nonexistent. His desire for escape compels him to inhale the scents from a box containing hashish in order to induce a state of constant somnambulism. In these dreamlike states, he is capable of evading the boredom and sadness of contemporary life, highlighting a constant tension between the quotidian and the dream, which figured heavily in much of Flaubert's early fiction. The use of hashish--a drug closely associated with the Orient in the nineteenth century--to conjure up this oneiric state of consciousness underscores Flaubert's conception of the Orient as a dreamlike place juxtaposed against the formalities of modern life and society. By the mid 1840s the romantic influences that had been central to shaping Flaubert's vision of the Orient began to wane. The first indication of this turn away from his early romanticism occurred in 1845 during a three-week trip through Italy with his family as they accompanied his sister Caroline Flaubert and her new husband Émile Hamard on their honeymoon. The young writer expressed admiration for the architecture and culture he found in Italian cities and spent a great deal of time visiting museums. At the Balbi Palace in Genoa, Flaubert encountered Pieter Breugel's The Temptation of Saint Anthony (1557) a painting that left a profound impression on his imagination and provided the inspiration for his own narrative on Saint Anthony. On 15 September 1846 Flaubert wrote to his friend Emmanuel Vasse de Saint-Ouen, reporting that he was beginning to take up his studies on antiquity again. In particular, he wanted to know whether Vasse de Saint-Ouen could recommend any works on the religions and philosophies of the Orient. This inquiry marked the beginning of his growing curiosity with Eastern religions. In the following years Flaubert sought out a more detailed and scholarly appreciation of the Orient that eclipsed the fantastic and romanticized impressions of his youth. Among the texts that Flaubert consulted, the work of the German philologist Georg Friedrich Creuzer had an especially important influence on his thinking and writing. Creuzer's Symbolik und Mythologie der alten Völker (1810-1812) focused on the origins of myths and mythology in the ancient world. The book was recommended to Flaubert by his close friend Frédéric Baudry, who was personally acquainted with Alfred Maury, one of the principal collaborators to translate Creuzer's work into French. In a letter to Maxime Du Camp on 7 April 1848, Flaubert informed his friend that he also had been reading Creuzer's Religions de l'antiquité (1825) and was finding it useful in acquiring knowledge on oriental religious beliefs. Flaubert employed Creuzer's work in preparing the first draft of his novel La Tentation de Saint Antoine (1874; translated as The Temptation of Saint Anthony, 1895), which was completed by September 1849 and dedicated to Alfred Le Poittevin, a close friend whose untimely death the previous year had left the author shaken. Set in late antiquity, La Tentation de Saint Antoine details a single night in the life of Saint Anthony as he sits in the desert and struggles with the numerous enticements that confront him. An ascetic, Anthony believes that social isolation and solitude are necessary for the proper worship of God, and throughout the book a host of monsters, gods, and heretics appear before him, each attempting to convince Anthony to abandon his asceticism. The setting of the story is of particular importance, as it takes place in a period when the beliefs and practices of the Christian religion are first being developed and debated. Anthony is attempting to make sense of Christianity and religion in general, and in detailing this endeavor, Flaubert drew upon the comparative mythology and forms of mythological interpretation laid out by Creuzer in his studies on the ancient Near East. The desire to interpret is, ultimately, one of the temptations confronted by Anthony, with Flaubert suggesting the impossibility of ever being able to establish an authoritative interpretation in religious and spiritual concerns. Upon completing the first draft of the manuscript, Flaubert was encouraged by Du Camp and the poet Louis Bouilhet to read the work aloud to them. Over the course of four nights, Flaubert read his manuscript uninterrupted. After he had finished, his two friends gave their opinions on the work, expressing their disappointment in Flaubert's first serious literary undertaking and convincing him it would be best to shelve the work and not seek publication. According to Du Camp in his Souveniers Littéraires (1882-1883), published after Flaubert's death, it was after passing opinion on the draft of La Tentation de Saint Antoine that he suggested Flaubert consider writing the story of Eugène Delamare, a local medical officer who had studied under Achille Flaubert before being both morally and financially ruined by his unfaithful wife--the story that became Madame Bovary (1857). The veracity of this account is, however, highly circumspect. As Francis Steegmuller has argued, it was only after Flaubert returned from abroad that the subject of Delamare's tragic tale was suggested to him as a possible subject for a novel, and by Bouilhet, not Du Camp. Yet, Du Camp can be credited with persuading the young author to undertake a trip to the East in 1849. That year, Du Camp had been awarded an assignment by the national Académie des Inscriptions to photograph antiquities in Alexandria and Cairo, and he hoped to have Flaubert accompany him. He even convinced Flaubert's mother to agree to the voyage and provide her son with the necessary funds by having Jules Cloquet, a doctor and close friend of the family, inform her that a brief stay in a warmer climate might prove beneficial to Flaubert's overall state of health. With his mother's consent and the funds obtained, the two set out for Egypt in October 1849 on a grand tour of the Orient and Eastern Mediterranean that would last more than a year and a half. The trip was to be Flaubert's first encounter with the actual Orient, and unsurprisingly the author found that many of his preconceptions about the East, no matter how informed by scholarly texts, were challenged by direct experience. Yet, unlike other travel accounts left by French authors visiting the Levant and North Africa, Flaubert was not unpleasantly disillusioned with what he found in the "real" Orient. "You ask me if the Orient is everything I imagined it to be," he wrote to his mother from Cairo on 5 January 1850. "Well it is, and even surpasses what I had anticipated. Everything that was once foggy for me is now made clear . . . so much so that it often feels as if I am suddenly rediscovering old forgotten dreams." Throughout the voyage in Egypt, Flaubert found himself overcome by feelings of déjà vu, claiming that the mysticism and religious fervor of the early Christian world he had read about for La Tentation de Saint Antoine was, in fact, still present in Oriental civilization. "Here," he informed Cloquet in a letter written on 15 January 1850, "the Bible is a picture of contemporary habits." Everywhere he looked he encountered the "old Orient, land of religions and flowing robes." Flaubert was even encouraged to go native while in Egypt, shaving his head save for a single lock of hair and donning a red tarboosh that he wore throughout the trip. Such observations drew upon the works of earlier romantic writers such as Chateaubriand and Byron, who had been inclined to view the East as static and intimately tied to the origins of Christianity. In the perspectives of leading French Orientalists, time had been suspended in the Orient, leaving an archaic civilization still steeped in old practices and sublime religious mysticism. In his many letters, Flaubert detailed his efforts to seek out traces of antiquity in the daily habits of the native population, visiting mosques and Coptic convents to satiate his curiosity. Yet, the antique allure of the Orient remarked on by Flaubert remained tied to an awareness of ruin and deterioration in the present as descriptions of camel carcasses rotting in the sun, mounds of ash and pottery shards, and pyramids covered with bird droppings filled his detailed accounts of the Egyptian landscape. Equally romanticized was Flaubert's intimate association between sensuousness and oriental civilization. Frequenting brothels while touring Egypt, Flaubert chronicled his and Du Camp's numerous sexual exploits, which resulted in the contraction of venereal disease that pestered both writers throughout the trip. Flaubert gave a highly eroticized account of an evening spent in a brothel with the dancer Kuchuk-Hânem, describing the rhythmic movements of her body and the sexual pleasures she offered to her clients. According to Edward Said in Orientalism, Kuchuk-Hânem is symbolic of the oriental woman in Flaubert's writing and, ultimately, of Flaubert's Orient itself, constructing a perception of the East through erotic and sensual themes that cast the Orient as a place of boundless pleasure and unrestrained desire. After leaving Egypt in July of 1850, Flaubert and Du Camp made their way through Beirut, Jerusalem, Damascus, Istanbul, and Greece. By the time they arrived in Italy in December to meet Flaubert's mother, the author had abandoned the tarboosh, clipped his long beard, and adopted his familiar bourgeois style of dress. Flaubert's voyage to the Orient proved to be a transformative event in his literary career. Upon his return to France, he abandoned his old projects and began reflecting intensely on future works. Numerous scholars have insisted that Flaubert first began to fully contemplate Madame Bovary while abroad, reporting in his letters that he was considering writing a "Flemish novel" of a woman conflicted by religious passion and desire. The publication of Madame Bovary brought charges of immorality from the government regarding the story's themes of female sexual desire and controversial depictions of religion, resulting in a trial in which Flaubert and his publisher were eventually acquitted of all charges. The affair, however, made Madame Bovary a cause célèbre that contributed to the novel's success. By the time his novel appeared in book form, Flaubert was being hailed as a literary figure of merit and a leader of the modernist movement emerging in French literary circles. With his newfound notoriety, Flaubert briefly took up residence on the Boulevard du Temple in Paris and began associating with prominent writers and authors such as Théophile Gautier and Ernest Feydeau. Between 1856 and 1857 he had begun publishing sections of his La Tentation de Saint Antoine in the Revue L'Artiste, edited by Gautier. Yet, in light of the scandal generated by Madame Bovary, Flaubert had reservations about attempting to publish the manuscript, feeling its treatment of religion and graphic eroticism would be even more shocking to the prudish government censors than the story of Emma Bovary. Although undertaking some cursory research in anticipation of once again working on the manuscript, the project quickly transformed into a new project that ultimately assumed the shape of his orientalist opus Salammbô (1862). In a letter to his confidante Marie-Sophie Leroyer de Chantepie on 18 March 1857, Flaubert indicated his desire to write a novel about ancient Carthage, claiming he was currently occupied with "a formidable archeological work on a little known period from antiquity." "I feel the need to leave the modern world," he confessed, ". . . which tires me by reproducing what is disgusting for me to see." Interested in history since his youth, Flaubert was contemplating taking up the role of both novelist and historian in his latest endeavor. In the spring of 1857 Flaubert began extensive research on the First Punic War between Rome and Carthage in 264 B.C. In attempting to visualize ancient Carthage, he consulted classical histories by Procopius and Polybius, recent articles published in the Revue Archéologique, and transcriptions from the Académie des Inscriptions; he even inquired with correspondents known to possess a detailed knowledge of current archeological excavations taking place in North Africa. He often complained to friends that he was encumbered by notes, writing to Feydeau on 6 August 1857, "I am accumulating notes on top of notes, books on top of books and I am hardly conscious of myself in the process. I can't see my objective clearly." Writer's block was becoming a problem, and by summer of 1857 Flaubert decided a trip to Tunisia was in order so he could encounter the subject of his prospective novel firsthand. "I am going to place myself in the new," he wrote to Charles d'Osmoy on 22 July 1857. "It is a story which occurs 240 years before Jesus Christ. It has caused me a terrible and ineffable agony, like when you leave for a long voyage." During his six-week stay in Tunisia, Flaubert broke with his usual habit of working late and taking leisurely mornings. He awoke early each day to see as much as possible and took copious notes on the ruins, the landscape, the sites of famous battles, and the scant artifacts he could find in North Africa. Returning to Croisset, he set to work writing, informing his friends in epistolary exchanges that his current project was a laborious and grueling effort requiring his complete attention. He also confessed his doubts that a narrative chronicling a war and subsequent mercenary revolt that had occurred two thousand years ago would be of any interest to modern readers. Nevertheless, he was excited for the new approach he was taking in his writing, utilizing archeological and historical details to produce a work of fiction that aimed to be as accurate as possible in its descriptions and details of the past. Moreover, the success of Madame Bovary facilitated the sale of his new novel to his publisher, Michel Lévy, who agreed to purchase it unread for 10,000 francs, a sum far in excess of what Flaubert had received for his prior novel. The new novel, titled Salammbô after the Carthaginian general Hamilcar's daughter, chronicles the story of a band of mercenaries who, unpaid by their Carthaginian superiors, rise up in revolt in the wake of the First Punic War. Mâtho, the leader of the mercenaries, falls in love with Solammbô, prompting him to lead an invasion against the state. Yet, by the conclusion of the novel, Mâtho is defeated and dies in the presence of his beloved. This story of conquest and love was punctuated with graphic depictions of lust and fetishized violence, including highly descriptive scenes of human sacrifice and torture. Many in Flaubert's literary circle praised the book upon its release in late November 1862. Gautier extolled Flaubert's historical accuracy and scholarly methodology, claiming in Le Moniteur Universel on 22 December 1862 that "just as Cuvier could recompose an antideluvian monster from a tooth [or] fragment of bone . . . so too does the author of Salammbô resurrect a building from a stone or a line of text." The author George Sand, whom Flaubert had met four years previously and whom he had visited on brief occasions since, wrote a glowing review of the novel, prompting a letter of gratitude from Flaubert that marked the beginning of a close friendship. Not all critics were as approving as Gautier and Sand, however. Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve, one of the most prominent literary critics of his day, wrote a long review in his weekly column run in Le Constitutionnel that, while complimentary in some respects, was largely unfavorable. The obscure historical subject and the lengthy descriptions were not, in his opinion, a suitable follow-up to his modern novel, Madame Bovary. Lesser critics took their cue from Sainte-Beuve, writing scathing critiques in the coming weeks. Religious conservatives equally criticized the work, provoking Catholic ministers to compare Flaubert to Voltaire and the Marquis de Sade in their sermons, warning that Salammbô encouraged paganism. Yet, despite being panned by critics and religious spokesmen, the novel did attract attention, ultimately going through four editions in its first six months. The novel inspired a parodic play, Folammbô, ou les Cocasseries carthaginoises (Mad-ammbô, or Carthaginian High Jinks), which premiered at the Palais Royal on 1 May 1863. Empress Eugenie considered atttending an upcoming imperial costume ball dressed as the heroine of Flaubert's book before deciding that a costume based on Salammbô would be too risqué for polite society. While branded a controversial writer, Flaubert did manage to ingratiate himself with both influential circles and political society in the coming years. His connections to writers and savants like Gautier, the Goncourt Brothers, Ernest Renan, and Hippolyte Taine placed him in constant contact with the Parisian literary world during the 1860s, while his connections with Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, the niece of Emperor Napoleon III, brought invitations to her prestigious salons and garnered him a nomination for the Legion of Honor in 1866. Yet, his acceptance by both French literary and high society did not ensure favorable reviews of his work as his next book, L'Education sentimentale, histoire d'un jeune homme (1869; translated as Sentimental Education: A Young Man's History, 1898 ), revealed. Marking a return to the modernist style that had been applauded in Madame Bovary, the novel did not fare well with critics who attacked it for its sprawling plot and vulgarity. In addition to hostile critics, Flaubert was equally beset by financial hardship and personal loss. In July 1869 his longtime friend Bouilhet died suddenly, followed by the death of other close friends soon after. In mid 1870 he began to work on a third version of his yet-unpublished manuscript La Tentation de Saint Antoine. Just as he set to work, however, the Franco-Prussian War broke out, placing the country under siege. Serving in the local citizens' militia and later, with the advance of German forces toward Paris, forced to flee Croisset, Flaubert complained that he was incapable of doing any writing throughout the so-called terrible year of 1870-1871. Finally able to return to his mother's house in Croisset in summer 1871, Flaubert took up revising the Saint Anthony manuscript with alacrity. He carried out new research in both Rouen and Paris and expanded upon the story's religious themes by consulting Frédéric Baudry's 1855 Étude sur les Vedas (Study on the Vedas) and a French translation of The Lotus of the Good Law. At this time Renan was serving as curator of oriental manuscripts at the Bibliothèque Impériale, which was customarily closed to the general public. Yet, capitalizing on his friendship with Renan, Flaubert was granted access to any documents he desired, allowing for an extensive research agenda. The pace of his work was, however, soon interrupted when in April 1872 Flaubert's mother passed away. Following her death, Flaubert lamented that the house in Croisset had become a mausoleum, and it was not until late May that Flaubert began writing again. In revising this lifelong project, Flaubert made some important alterations, replacing the tripartite scheme of the 1849 and 1856 manuscripts and organizing the narrative into seven chapters. In the new version, he intended to expand upon the saint's decline into insanity and drew upon his new research on Eastern religions to further demonstrate the inner struggles engendered by conflicting beliefs and myths. Although completed by mid 1872, Flaubert left the manuscript untouched for another eighteen months, eventually submitting it for publication in early 1874. In the interval, Flaubert had broken with his longtime publisher Michel Lévy after an argument over the publication of Bouilhet's posthumous book. For the newly revised La Tentation de Saint Antoine, Flaubert signed with Georges Charpentier, an editor with a fine-tuned appreciation for modern French writers like Émile Zola and Alphonse Daudet. Under the terms of the contract, Charpentier agreed to republish Flaubert's past novels in addition to his latest work. La Tentation de Saint Antoine, a work which Flaubert had dedicated nearly thirty years to perfecting and which the author considered his masterwork, was finally released that spring. Critical reception was negative, with conservative reviewers impugning Flaubert for his obsessive attention to detail and indifference to morality in his choice of subject matter. Sand consoled her friend, writing to him on 10 April with an injunction not to succumb to despair over the barbed words of critics. In her opinion, La Tentation de Saint Antoine was "a masterpiece," a "magnificent book." La Tentation de Saint Antoine marked Flaubert's last major orientalist work of fiction. In 1877 he published his Trois contes (Three Tales), which featured the story "Hérodias," a retelling of the story of Saint John the Baptist, who is ordered to be beheaded upon the request of the seductress Salome. "Hérodias" reflected the author's lifelong fascination with myth and the biblical Near East, and the story is thought to have influenced Oscar Wilde's more famous tragedy Salome, published in 1893. Yet, in spite of this return to his interest in the early Christian world of late antiquity, Flaubert dedicated much of his attention during the remaining years of his life to Bouvard et Pécuchet, an unfinished novel focused on modern bourgeois society, published posthumously in 1881. The preoccupation with more-contemporary themes did not, however, indicate that Flaubert had lost interest in the Orient during the last years of his life. In a letter written to his niece two weeks before his death, Flaubert claimed that he was "gripped by a longing to see a palm tree standing out against the blue sky and to hear a stork clacking its beak at the top of a minaret." Flaubert did not have the chance to fulfill this wish. On 8 May 1880 he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died at Croisset. While scholarly attention has tended to favor Flaubert's modernism and marginalized appreciation for his more historically inspired orientalist works, today Flaubert is considered one of the preeminent European orientalists of the nineteenth century. His travel writings on Egypt, which until recently remained unpublished, have become an important source in evaluating Flaubert's work, stimulating a rethinking of the role that antiquity and oriental romanticism played in the career of the most celebrated modernist writer. Orientalist studies spurred by Said's theories have provided a new context through which to interpret Flaubert's major novels, including Salammbô and La Tentation de Saint Antoine. Flaubert's characterization of the Orient in his fiction and journal travel writing has been noted as marking a crossroads in the French Orientalist tradition, evincing a lingering appreciation for the romantic vision of an exotic and fantastic Orient while employing a meticulous and scientific methodology to accommodate desires for more-realistic and accurate depictions in literature.

It presents an important chapter in the history of artistic thought, influencing various movements and standing out for its particular viewpoints on the role and purpose of art. What is Gautier Aesthetics? Gautier esthétique: A philosophical approach to art and literature that prioritises beauty, form, and aesthetic pleasure over moral or didactic purposes. It is closely associated with the doctrine 'l'art pour l'art' (art for art's sake). This aesthetic philosophy champions the idea that art should serve no purpose beyond its own beauty and the enjoyment it provides. As such, it marks a departure from the utilitarian or moralistic views of art’s function within society, advocating instead for art’s autonomy and independent value. The Origins of Gautier's Aesthetic Principles Gautier esthétique is rooted in the artistic and intellectual movements of the 19th century, particularly in response to the Romanticism of the early 1800s. While it shares the Romantics' love for beauty, it also critiques their emphasis on emotional expression and the conveyance of moral and political messages through art. In challenging the dominant Romantic ideology, Gautier sought to elevate the status of art to an ideal realm, untainted by the pragmatic concerns of daily life or the imperatives of moral instruction. This shift not only redefined the goals of artistic creation but also influenced the criteria for judging art's value, focusing solely on aesthetic qualities. Key Themes in Gautier Aesthetic Several key themes characterise Gautier's esthétique, each underscoring different aspects of his vision for art's purpose and nature. Beauty as an End in Itself: The pursuit of beauty is seen not as a means to an end but as an ultimate goal. Art's primary objective is to create aesthetic pleasure, free from moral or practical considerations. Artistic Perfection: Gautier advocated for meticulous craftsmanship and technical skill in art, believing that perfection in form contributes to the overall beauty and impact of a work. Artistic Autonomy: Art should be independent of social, political, and moral pressures, existing in its own sphere where it can be appreciated purely for its aesthetic qualities. Immortality of Art: Through its focus on form and beauty, art can achieve a form of immortality, transcending the temporal concerns of the era in which it was created. The commitment to beauty as an end in itself represented a significant departure from the utilitarian and didactic approaches to art that preceded Gautier’s time. This principle not only challenged the role art played in society but also the ways in which people engaged with and appreciated artistic works. By asserting that the intrinsic value of art lies in its ability to elicit aesthetic pleasure, Gautier esthétique invites viewers and readers to engage with art on terms dictated solely by sensory experience and personal interpretation, rather than through the lens of external criteria or societal utility. Théophile Gautier's Artistic Theory Delving into Théophile Gautier's artistic theory opens up a fascinating window to understanding the 19th-century art and literature landscape. Gautier, a profound advocate for the autonomy of art, has left behind principles that continue to shape aesthetic discussions today. Understanding Gautier Aesthetic Explanation At the heart of Gautier's theoretical discourse is the notion that art should exist for its own sake, embodying beauty and perfection without succumbing to external pressures or demands. This concept radically shifted the focus from art as a tool for education or moral correction to art as an embodiment of pure aesthetic value. Gautier Aesthetic Explanation: A set of principles advocating that the importance of art lies in its beauty and form rather than in conveying moral or social messages. Art's primary duty is to be art. Gautier's aesthetic is sometimes seen as a reaction against the moralistic undertones prevalent in art and literature of his time. Gautier's Views on Art for Art's Sake Gautier’s maxim of ‘l’art pour l'art’ (art for art’s sake) summarized his belief in the need for art's autonomy. He argued that the highest achievement of art lies not in its ability to instruct or improve humanity but in its pursuit and representation of beauty. An example of Gautier’s dedication to this principle can be found in his prefatory poem to Mademoiselle de Maupin, where he explicitly outlines his views on the purposelessness of art, other than to exist beautifully. This stance on art being appreciated purely for its aesthetic qualities laid the groundwork for many modern aesthetics debates, notably influencing the symbolist and decadent movements later in the century. The Influence of Gautier Aesthetic Themes on Modern Art In the evolution of art and aesthetics, Gautier's theories have resonated well beyond his lifetime, influencing the development of modernist and postmodernist thought. His insistence on art's independence from societal, moral, and utilitarian objectives challenged artists to pursue innovation in form and content, paving the way for future avant-garde movements. Modern artists and critics who champion the intrinsic value of artistic expression without external justification owe a part of their philosophical grounding to Gautier’s foundational ideals. From the abstractions of the early 20th century to contemporary art’s diverse forms, the echoes of Gautier's aesthetic explanation persist, encouraging a focus on subjective interpretation and the sheer pleasure of art. The lasting influence of Gautier's aesthetic can be traced in the way art is both created and critiqued today. Furthermore, his ideas can be seen in the works of Oscar Wilde and James Whistler, among others, who also espoused the notion that art should stand apart from moral, didactic, or utilitarian purposes. This separation of art from functionality has led to a broader understanding and appreciation of art as an essential pursuit of beauty and form, influencing not just visual art, but literature, music, and modern media. Art for Art's Sake Gautier Discovering Théophile Gautier's role in the 'Art for Art's Sake' movement provides invaluable insights into the evolution of aesthetic theory and practices. Gautier, a pivotal figure in 19th-century French literature, championed the belief that art should be appreciated for its beauty alone, free from moral, political, or utilitarian objectives. How Gautier Shaped the Art for Art's Sake Movement Théophile Gautier was instrumental in the development of the 'Art for Art's Sake' movement, a concept that has profoundly influenced the world of art and literature. By advocating for art's independence, he encouraged a focus on aesthetic appreciation and the creation of art devoid of any didactic or utilitarian function. This movement, crystallising around the mid-19th century, was a reaction against the utilitarian approach to art prevalent in society at the time. Gautier's emphasis on beauty and form over content and utility represented a significant shift in artistic perception and practice, encouraging artists and writers to pursue excellence in form and beauty as an end in itself. Gautier's influence extended beyond France, impacting the international art scene and shaping the aesthetic principles of movements such as Aestheticism in England. Exploring Key Works that Define Gautier Esthétique Gautier's body of work spans poetry, ballet, drama, and criticism, each contributing significantly to the 'Art for Art's Sake' movement. Noteworthy examples include Mademoiselle de Maupin, known for its preface advocating for the autonomy of art, and Emaux et Camées, a collection of poems that exemplifies Gautier’s aesthetic principles through its emphasis on form and beauty. Through these works, Gautier showcased his mastery of language and form, utilising them to create works of art that stand as a testament to his aesthetic beliefs. His literary productions are celebrated not just for their thematic content but for their structural beauty, reinforcing his argument that the value of art lies in its capacity to provide aesthetic pleasure. The prefatory letter to Mademoiselle de Maupin explicitly addresses the role of art in society, articulating Gautier's viewpoint that 'Nothing is truly beautiful except that which can serve no purpose; everything useful is ugly'. This bold declaration underlines the essence of Gautier's aesthetic philosophy, positioning beauty and art as paramount, beyond any practical or moral consideration. Gautier Esthétique in Modern Visual Arts In the realm of modern visual arts, Gautier's esthétique shines through the emphasis on pure beauty and form. Artists and movements that celebrate aesthetic value over utilitarian or didactic concerns can trace their roots back to the principles outlined by Gautier. Contemporary artwork, especially pieces that focus on abstract and non-representational forms, demonstrates a clear lineage from Gautier's ideas. Such works prioritize the sensory experience of art, engaging the observer with visual complexity and beauty that defy conventional narratives or functions. Gautier's influence is notably visible in movements like Abstract Expressionism, where the intrinsic value of color, shape, and texture takes precedence over representational accuracy. The Relevance of Gautier Aesthetic Explanation in Literature Literature today continues to be influenced by Gautier's emphasis on aesthetic beauty and art for art's sake. Modern literary works that focus on language, structure, and narrative innovation reflect Gautier's aesthetic principles. Writers employ intricate plots, complex characters, and elaborate linguistic styles to create beauty in their texts, independent of any moral or didactic purpose. This literary approach mirrors Gautier's belief in the autonomy of art, encouraging readers to appreciate texts for their aesthetic qualities and the pleasurable experience they provide, rather than for the conveyance of explicit messages or moral lessons. A contemporary example of literature embodying Gautier's esthétique can be found in the works of authors like Haruki Murakami, whose narratives often prioritise atmosphere, imagery, and emotion over conventional plot-driven storytelling. How Théophile Gautier's Artistic Theory Influences Today's Artists Today’s artists draw from Gautier's artistic theory, incorporating his principles into their creative process and artistic philosophy. This influence manifests in a variety of ways, from the selection of themes and materials to the techniques and styles employed. Artists who embrace Gautier’s esthétique engage with their medium from a standpoint that values aesthetic beauty and expressive form above all. Such artists often experiment with new forms and materials to explore the boundaries of aesthetic pleasure, pushing the limits of traditional art forms to create innovative and engaging works. They embody Gautier's vision of art’s independence, prioritising inner beauty, emotional resonance, and sensory experience in their creations. The adoption of Gautier's principles in contemporary practice can be seen in digital art, where artists utilise technology to experiment with form and colour, creating pieces that evoke an aesthetic response independent of narrative or function. This digital medium, with its endless possibilities for innovation, epitomises Gautier's ideal of art that exists solely for the pleasure it can provide, free from the constraints of traditional methodologies and purposes. Gautier esthétique - Key takeaways Gautier esthétique: A philosophical approach to art and literature that prioritises beauty, form, and aesthetic pleasure, famously encapsulated in the 'art for art's sake' doctrine. Artistic Autonomy: Gautier's aesthetic principles advocate for the independence of art from social, political, and moral pressures, asserting its purpose as creating aesthetic pleasure. Beauty as an Ultimate Goal: In Gautier's aesthetic themes, the pursuit of beauty is an end in itself, with meticulous craftsmanship and technical skill contributing to art's overall impact. Challenging Romantic Ideology: While sharing the Romantics' love for beauty, Gautier critiqued their emphasis on emotional expression and moral messages, elevating art to an untainted ideal. Influence on Modern Art: Gautier's esthétique influenced artistic movements such as symbolism and decadence, and continues to resonate in modernist, postmodernist thought, and contemporary digital art.

Intense Bride, "...	en			https://sites.udel.edu/britlitwiki/aestheticism/	The Aesthetic Movement Aesthetic Bridegroom, “It is quite consummate, is it not?” Intense Bride, “It is, indeed! Oh, Algernon, let us live up to it!” (from Punch Oct. 1880) “To define beauty, not in the most abstract but in the most concrete terms possible, to find not its universal formula, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”- Walter Pater “Alas! ladies and gentlemen, Art has been maligned… people have acquired the habit of looking, as who should say, not at a picture, but through it, at some human fact, that shall, or shall not, from a social point of view, better their mental or moral state. [Art] is, withal, selfishly occupied with her own perfection only–having no desire to teach–seeking and finding the beautiful in all conditions and in all times…”- James McNeill Whistler Fin de Siècle The roots of Aestheticism can be traced back to the 1860’s; however, it was not until the 1880’s that the movement gained noticeable popularity. The Aesthetic movement is often associated with the French term “fin de siècle,” or the “end of the century,” which refers to the closing of an existing era and implies the beginning of a new one. It is often used to describe late nineteenth-century Britain, a time when the ideals of the Victorian Age were losing precedence and being replaced by Aesthetic values. The established Victorian lifestyle broke down partly because Britain’s political and economic supremacy faced new challenges in the form of emerging world powers, like the United States. Essentially, the glory days of Britain’s empire were coming to an end, which laid the foundation for a new, strictly anti-Victorian method of thought. The Aesthetic movement denounced the sober morality and middle-class values that characterized the Victorian Age and embraced beauty as the chief pursuit of both art and life. The movement is often considered to have ended with Oscar Wilde’s trials, which began in 1895. In doing so, it cleared the path for the emergence of Modernism in the twentieth century. Art for Art’s Sake Aesthetic writers and artists rallied behind this slogan, first adopted by French poet Théophile Gautier, in their attempts to stress the autonomy of art. They felt art should be independent from worldly issues, like politics, and should be appreciated for its own intrinsic beauty rather than for any moral purpose. The aesthetes also refuted the idea that there was a correlation between art and the age in which it was created. In other words, art should not be interpreted as historical evidence, but rather appreciated for its own, independent history and progress. Stylistically, their work was highly refined and appealed to the senses. The French author, Vernon Lee, perfectly captured the aesthetes’ philosophy on art when she remarked, “to appreciate a work of art means, therefore, to appreciate that work of art itself, as distinguished from appreciating something outside it, something accidentally or arbitrarily connected with it” (Evangelista 5). Influences Aestheticism did not suddenly emerge independent from outside influence. Like all movements, it grew from the ideas of its predecessors and eventually developed its own unique characteristics. While many individuals influenced the aesthetes, the two most important were Walter Pater and Charles Baudelaire. Walter Pater (1839- 1894) The aesthetes were heavily influenced by the English writer Walter Pater and his book, The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry, which was published in 1873. The piece sought to outline the important aspects of the Renaissance by examining the works and lives of its artists. Many writers, like John Addington Symonds and Oscar Wilde, had him as a tutor during their Oxford years and thus, familiarized themselves with his work. Consequently, it is the conclusion of The Renaissance which served as the basic outline for the development of aesthetic thought. Within it, Pater controversially states, “not the fruit of experience, but experience itself, is the end.” He is attempting to convey that it is the singular moment, and not the resulting effects of that moment, that is truly important. Such a statement encourages one to live in the present, and furthermore, to appreciate physical objects themselves rather than the lingering impressions of them. He feels that reflection diminishes the value of the object because our minds will focus on general aspects rather than the true beauty of the object as it existed within a distinct and fleeting moment. The aesthetes embraced Pater’s theories as a means of understanding the supremacy of beauty over morality and the present over longevity. Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) Charles Baudelaire Baudelaire was a French poet who is generally considered to be the fore-runner of the French symbolists, a movement which held numerous parallels to British Aestheticism. Baudelaire’s poetry exhibited many qualities that the aesthetes would later adopt. For instance, Baudelaire was one of the first writers to include sexually explicit material within his poems, as some of his subjects were lesbians and vampires (Charles Baudelaire). The aesthetes, following his example, continued to push back the boundaries, which enclosed sexuality, within their own work. They also gained from Baudelaire an intense desire for sensuality and a need to understand the relationship between art and life. In his book, Aestheticism: The Religion of Art in Post- Romantic Literature, Leon Chai takes one of Baudelaire’s poems, “Harmonie du Soir”(1857), and uses it to show how Baudelaire’s ideas influenced the aesthetes. He notes that Baudelaire appeals to the senses with his description of fragrance within the air, and furthermore, equates life to art when he implies that the body is like a violin (Chai 48-62). Oscar Wilde, an aesthetic writer, would further develop this supposed relationship between art and life. In his essay, “The Decay of Lying: An Observation”(1891), Wilde claims that “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.” He is essentially arguing that art is superior to life because life relies on art as a means of finding expression and beauty. This notion, which was built upon the foundation of Baudelaire’s ideas, would eventually become a major part of aesthetic doctrine. Hellenism and Aestheticism The shift in focus from Latin to Greek during the Victorian era had a profound impact on British society. Initially, the field of Greek studies belonged to scholars and politicians, and stressed morality; however, it was the aesthetes who transformed the field into one of dissent (Evangelista 11). They did so by reestablishing the Greek concept of hedonism, or the pursuit of pleasure and beauty, as the purpose of life. As a result, the aesthetes became infamous for their habits of passion and excess, in the forms of sensuality and sexuality. They refuted the strict morality of the age, which was based on Christian principles (Damrosch 1939); instead the aesthetes opted to follow the philosophies of the pagan Greeks. This breakdown in conventional moral conviction among the aesthetes led to the frequent association of “decadence” with Aestheticism. It is also important to note that Victorian England was an age of scientific development and more specifically, one in which the ideas of Charles Darwin flourished. Science is often viewed as a threat to art, as its developments are practical and art’s are largely abstract. If a society makes a significant shift towards the sciences, there is a chance that the arts will be neglected or made inferior. Consequently, one author notes that the aesthetes praised Greece as a prime example of a culture that was able to secure a place for art within a scientific age, and furthermore, sought to emulate their example (Evangelista 12). This is not to say that the aesthetes were adverse to scientific innovation. They too favored the “triumph” of scientific progress over superstition and the “dream-world of Christianity” (Evangelista 12). The Aesthetic Lifestyle The aesthetes’ commitment to their theories and beliefs was so strong that eventually aestheticism transcended the boundaries of art and became a way of life. This meant that an aesthete was not only confirmed as such by his work, but also by his behavior. For example, one could typically pick out an aesthete simply by his word choice. They tended to use exaggerated metaphors and superlative adjectives, like “supreme, consummate, utter, and preciously sublime” (Damrosch 1939). Essentially, components of aesthetic ideology can be seen in the way the aesthetes approached fashion, sexuality, and alcohol/drugs. Dandyism An example of dandy fashion, Oscar Wilde Dandyism, to some extent, has always existed. In general, a dandy is one who pays particular attention to his own personal appearance. Their dress is often eccentric, yet elegant. Specific to late-Victorian England, to be a dandy meant to also elevate the artificial over the natural. The opening lines of Oscar Wilde’s “Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young”(1894) state, “The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible.” One example of their attraction to artificiality is that they preferred urban, rather than rural, settings and were particularly enamored with London (Jackson 132). Furthermore, Victorian dandies aimed to uphold a high level of sophistication and valued wit as a measure of such. Many aesthetic writers were well-known dandies, such as Oscar Wilde, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and Walter Pater. Take the “How Dandy Are You?” Quiz Sexuality & Habits In 1885 Britain’s Parliament outlawed homosexuality with the Labouchere Amendment. Males caught engaging in any type of sexual activity with another male could be sentenced to up to two years in prison. Despite this law, the late-Victorian period saw an increased interest in the exploration of sexuality. Not only were gender distinctions increasingly blurred, but the presence of homoerotic desires became more and more obvious within the public sphere. In fact, it was during this period that the words “homosexual” and “lesbian” were first used. The aesthetes were both products and propagators of these new liberal attitudes towards sexuality. Deborah Lutz claims that “Something of the erotic always lurks about the Aesthete: he faints with love; he luxuriates in exotic decadence; he tends even towards the perverse. He quivers, he throbs with the pure ecstasy of life, with the exquisiteness of his own experience” (Fox 247). Many aesthetes are known to have been either homosexuals or interested in homoeroticism, which can be partly attributed to their fondness of Greek culture. Since the Greeks allowed male to male love and even encouraged it as an acceptable source of pleasure, the concept of homosexuality appears frequently in their art and literature. (Example?) Many aesthetes saw the Greek example as a justification for their own homoeroticism and felt that such desires were “inseparable from [their] artistic and intellectual activities” (Evangelista 19). However, it was more than just a connection to the past that led the artists of this movement to embrace sexual deviance. The aesthetes were fiercely individualistic, and as a result, opposed anything mainstream. They developed a love of “shocking” the middle classes with both their art and lifestyles (Jackson 152). Therefore, they created sexually suggestive pieces of work and adopted liberal sexual attitudes, both of which opposed the Victorian sense of morality. Furthermore, the combination of this desire to shock the conservative minded with their need to live within the present moment, led to the development of many habits which were considered to be vices. Aesthetes were generally seen as heavy consumers of alcohol, particularly absinthe, and were fascinated with drugs like opium and hashish, all of which granted them a greater intensity of sensation (Jackson 153). Though not all of the aesthetic artists developed these habits the death of many of them at a young age suggests that the habits were fairly prevalent. For example, Wilde died at forty, Aubrey Beardsley at twenty-six, and Ernest Dowson at thirty-three, among others. Jackson clearly summarizes this notion: “It would seem as if these restless and tragic figures thirsted so much for life, and for the life of the hour, that they put the cup to their lips and drained it in one deep draught…” (158).

While there, I was lucky enough to receive a signed advanced reader copy of Ribbons of Scarlet (2019), a novel jointly written by six historical novelists depicting the lives of many of the women who played an important role in the French Revolution, which began in 1789. Ribbons of Scarlet is now top of my TBR (to be read) list, but in honour of the novel’s release on October 1, in this week’s blog post, I’m straying out of the nineteenth century and back into the eighteenth to share with you some of my favourite reads set during, or inspired by, the revolution that rocked Europe and changed France forever. A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens (1859) Dickens’s depiction of the revolution, written seventy years later, influences how its events live on in popular imagination to this day. Expect narrow escapes from the guillotine, long imprisonments and rampant blood lust. Aside from being a classic, A Tale of Two Cities offers a great glimpse into British responses to the revolution on England’s doorstep. It also has one of the best openings of any novel in English (check out my close reading here). Bonus fun fact: I once appeared as Monsieur (yes, Monsieur, not Madame) Defarge in a school play. The Glass Blowers, Daphne du Maurier (1963) Daphne du Maurier dug into her own family history to inspire her 1963 The Glass Blowers, a wonderful novel that examines the revolution through the eyes of a middle class family in the provinces. The novel deals with the divisions within families occasioned by any civil war and the misinformation that fuelled much of the paranoia that dominated the French Revolution. Her main character, an unobtrusive first person, is representative of many men and especially women of the period, who tried to maintain domestic normality, while war and political strife ravaged the country. A Place of Greater Safety, Hilary Mantel (1992) Reading Hilary Mantel’s dense and captivating novel is as close as we can come today to experiencing the French Revolution blow by blow. Focused on Paris, Mantel illuminates the lives of three of the conflict’s main actors—Georges Danton, Camille Desmoulins, and Maximilien Robespierre—with a huge cast of supporting characters. The novel is replete with interpersonal as well as political drama but this isn’t a story of ordinary people. If you want to dig into the nitty-gritty of factions, espionage and corruption, this is the book for you. Pure, Andrew Miller (2011) The most recent novel on my list, Pure isn’t really a novel of the Revolution at all, but of the years preceding it. Our protagonist is an engineer tasked with clearing the graveyard at Les Innocents in Paris, which is literally overflowing with corpses and therefore endangering the health of the city's residents. The book captures the rising tensions in Paris in the 1780s, the bureaucracy of Versailles, the autonomy of different parts of the city and the fading influence of the Catholic Church. There’s even a cameo for Dr Guillotine himself as social discord rumbles, creating a dramatic stage for our central story. It’s dark, compelling, and beautifully told.

tour.	en	https://cdn.odysseytrave…avicon-32x32.png		https://www.odysseytraveller.com/articles/writers-of-paris-france/	Writers of Paris, France For centuries, Paris has been regarded as the intellectual centre of the western world, associated with a bohemian lifestyle where art reigns supreme and radical ideas circulate. For visitors with an interest in literary history, Paris has so many gems. Museums are devoted to writers and second-hand bookstores stock classics rarely found elsewhere. Book lovers can trace the steps â and visit the haunts â of their favourite writer in a walking tour through one of Parisâs many literary neighbourhoods. This article is intended to provide background to Odyssey Travellerâs 21 Days in Paris tour. Designed for book lovers, this tour of Paris takes in the cityâs literary history, with visits to sites associated with Denis Diderot, Victor Hugo, Jules Verne and the bohemian writers of the Latin Quarter. Staying in self-catered apartments, our guided tour gives you the opportunity to live like a Parisian, while our expert tour guide takes you through the literature, art, history and fashion of the âcity of lightâ. The Enlightenment: In the 18th century, France was the leading publishing centre of Europe, providing novels, plays, and political tracts to a Europe-wide upper class who spoke and read French fluently. Paris was home to some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment. Among the most influential were Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond dâAlembert, whose EncyclopÃ©die aimed to collect all of human knowledge. The EncyclopÃ©die was hugely controversial thanks to the anti-clerical tone of some of its entries; in 1758 it was banned by the Catholic Church, and in 1759 by the government of France, though copies passed discreetly around the intellectuals of the period. A key aspect of French culture in the 18th century was the literary salon, where the wives of aristocrats and rich businessmen invited their friends to their homes to hear readings of the latest books and debate literature, ideas, and politics. The first famous salon of the 18th century was that of Madame de Lambert, which began in 1710, while others included those of Madame dâÃpinay, Madame Necker, and Madame Roland, whose gatherings were a key organising place for the Girondin faction during the French Revolution. Another key gathering spot for Enlightenment writers was the Cafe le Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris still in operation, where writers such as Diderot and Voltaire exchanged ideas over the new and exotic drink known as coffee. During the French Revolution, the cafe became a meeting spot for prominent Jacobins, including Marat, Robespierre, and Danton. Writers of the 19th century: Paris continued to be a major literary centre through the 19th century. In the early part of the century, writers such as Balzac, Stendhal, and Flaubert developed literary realism, and were celebrated for their psychological and social insight. Perhaps the most famous writer of this period was Victor Hugo, best known for his novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. From 1832 to 1848 he lived at a corner apartment in a building on the Place des Voges, which has since been converted into a museum designed to accurately convey the building as Hugo lived in it. Hugoâs dramatic career is conveyed through personal artefacts and manuscripts. Outspoken and driven to challenge injustice, Hugo was forced into exile in Guernsey during the reign of Napoleon III. Another politically controversial Parisian writer of the 19th century was Ãmile Zola, whose ambitious Les Rougon-Macquart cycle of twenty novels aimed to capture the society of France during the Second Empire in its totality. Zola would play a central role in the Dreyfus Affair of the 1890s, which divided France and remains an enduring national shame. In response to the conviction of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish artillery officer who had been convicted to lifelong penal servitude for the crime of espionage, Zolaâs wrote an open letter, JâAccuseâ¦!, pointing out the lack of evidence for the conviction and accusing prominent military figures of anti-semitism. While Zola was accused of libel and forced into exile in London, his letter galvanised support for Dreyfus, who was pardoned. Beginning a tradition of exile for English-speaking writers, the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde spent his last months in Paris after his imprisonment in England due to his homosexuality. Staying in the shabby Hotel dâAlsace,Wilde famously pointed at the hideous wall paper and declared that âone of us has got to goâ. He died soon after. Wildeâs grave at Parisâs Pere Lachaise Cemetery is now a pilgrimage spot for literature lovers from around the world. Visitors with an interest in 19th century literature should make a point of visiting the Jardin du Luxembourg on their trip to Paris, where statues commemorate Parisian writers including Stendhal, Paul Verlaine, Charles Baudelaire, and George Sand. The âlost generationâ: In the period between the wars, Paris became a magnet for modernist writers from around the English-speaking world, including Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. The life of writers and Bohemians in 1920s Paris is vividly conveyed by Hemingway in his 1964 memoir, A Moveable Feast. Many of the male writers living in Paris in the 1920s had fought during the First World War, leading Stein to call them a âlost generationâ: âThatâs what you are. Thatâs what you all are,â Miss Stein said. âAll of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation â¦ you have no respect for anything. You drink yourselves to deathâ¦ (Quote, Hemingway, A Moveable Feast, 34). Steinâs studio apartment â filled with art by luminaries such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir â became a modern-day equivalent of the salon for the expat writers and artists of Hemingwayâs Paris. Another focal point for writers was the bookstore Shakespeare and Company, owned by an American, Sylvia Beach. Beach was famously generous, lending the impoverished Hemingway as many books as he wished. Another regular visitor, James Joyce, had his novel Ulysses â now regarded as one of the masterpieces of the 20th century â published by Beach when he was unable to secure publication elsewhere due to the perceived âobscenityâ of the text. Similarly, the American writer Henry Miller was only able to secure publication of his memoir, Tropic of Cancer, in Paris in 1934; though thanks to its âcandid sexualityâ, the memoir remained banned in the United States until 1964. In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened a new bookstore on Rue de la Bucherie in the 5th arrondissement called Shakespeare and Company in homage to Beachâs store. Whitman continued Beachâs traditions, attracting 1950s beat writers such as Allen Ginzburg and William S. Burroughs. Shakespeare and Company remains open today, and is a highlight of any Paris trip. Run by his daughter Sylvia, the bookstore remains true to its original spirit, housing aspiring writers in beds scattered around the shelves in exchange for help behind the counter. One of Franceâs most important modernist writers remained totally separate from the expat community. Thanks to poor health, Marcel Proust wrote the entirety of his era-defining series, In Remembrance of Things Past, from his bedroom at 102 Boulevard Haussmann, where he lived from 1907 to 1917. Proustâs bedroom â complete with authentic furniture â has since been recreated as a display at the Musee Carnavalet. The Left Bank: After the end of World War Two, Parisâs reputation as a worldwide centre of Bohemian and intellectual life was cemented further. The âleft bankâ of the Seine River (also known as the Latin Quarter) drew writers, artists, and musicians from around France and the world. Parisâs writers and artists saw themselves as forging a new world out of the debris of the Second World War, trying to find, as Agnes Poirier writes, âan independent and original alternative to the capitalist and Communist models for life, arts and politics â a Third Wayâ. These artists and intellectuals sought new ways of relating to one another and to life, challenging traditional morality: they rejected traditional institutions of marriage and family, saw open romantic and sexual relationships as an ideal mode of existence, and consumed drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes with a passion. They lived in cheap and run-down Latin Quarter hotels, embodying the mythos of the starving artist. And unlike previous generations of intellectuals, they embraced popular culture, Hollywood, pulp fiction, and were among the first to give jazz its due recognition. One of the most famous movements to emerge out of the Left Bank is existentialism, particularly the neighbourhood of Saint Germain des Pres, embodied in the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. An atheistic philosophy that was deeply humanistic, existentialism placed individual men and women, their lives and their choices, at the centre of its philosophy. Challenging religion and what Sartre and others saw as bourgeois conformity (âbad faithâ), existentialists held that the individual had total responsibility for their actions or lack thereof. Existentialism was first introduced to the world in a lecture given by Sartre entitled âIs Existentialism a Humanism?â. Delivered in a hot, steamy hotel, the lecture saw two women in the audience faint from overheating. Journalists decided that the women had been overcome by Sartreâs shocking philosophies, and existentialism became the scandal of the times, attracting rebellious young people around the world. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Latin Quarter also attracted a number of African-American writers and artists, seeking a place where they could live and work in ways that were not defined by their race, continuing traditions from the interwar era that had brought legendary dancer Josephine Baker to Paris. Richard Wright, a successful writer of the 1930s, was a mentor to James Baldwin on his arrival in Paris, finding Baldwin work and the connections that would get him published. Little did he know that his protegeâs first published work would be a searing attack on (what Baldwin saw as polite and ineffectual), âprotest novelsâ about black and Jewish issues â particularly including the works of Richard Wright. Angered, Wright ended his friendship and support of Baldwin â but Baldwinâs act of âliterary patricideâ (Poirier) embodied the radical spirit of the Left Bank and made Baldwin a star. The intellectual circles of Saint Germain also saw an emerging cohort of women who challenged the traditional role of wife (or mistress) to become writers and creatives in their own right. Most influential was Sartreâs long-term partner Simone de Beauvoir, whose The Second Sex paved the way for the feminism of the 1970s and beyond. Other independent women of the Left Bank included the strikingly beautiful singer Juliette Greco, who sang existentialist lyrics written by Sartre and other philosophers.

Scott Fitzgerald. Paris is home to an astounding 297 museums, art galleries, and historical sites, the most concentrated collection of museums in the world. While most visitors are highly famliar with a select few â the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Versailles Palace and Parklands (which include Marie Antoinetteâs Hamlet) â our tour of Paris takes you to twenty-two of Parisâs lesser known museums, including the impressionist showcase of the Musee dâOrsay, the fascinating history of the Carnavalet, and the lesser-known Monet masterpieces found at the Musee Marmottan Monet. Our city tour also takes you into the history of France, with a day devoted to sites associated with the French Revolution, including the Place de la Concorde, where Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI (among many others) were executed, and the Arc de Triomphe, built to honour those who died for France in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. We also devote time to exploring why Paris is the worldâs fashion capital, window-shopping in the fashion houses of the Champs Elysees and visiting the brand-new museum exploring the life and work of one Parisâs most celebrated designers, Yves Saint Laurent. And we have plenty of evening activities, possibly including an opera performance at Palais Garnier, immortalised in The Phantom of the Opera. The trip also gives you plenty of time for independent Paris sightseeing, whether that be another visit to the collections of the Louvre museum, a river cruise down the Seine, a food tour of one of Parisâs iconic markets, or a bike tour through the woodlands of the Bois du Boulogne or the parklands of Versailles.

And this is reflected in the literary culture of the period. In an ambitious study spanning poetry, historiography, fiction, travel-writing, ballet, opera, and marionette theatre, Julia Hartley reveals the unique place that Iran held in the French literary imagination between 1829 and 1912. Iran's history and culture remained a constant source of inspiration across different generations and artistic movements, from the ‘Oriental’ poems of Victor Hugo to those of Anna de Noailles and Théophile Gautier’s strategic citation of Persian poetry to his daughter Judith Gautier’s full-blown rewriting of a Persian epic. Writing about Iran could also serve to articulate new visions of world history and religion, as was the case in the intellectual debates that took place between Michelet, Renan, and Al-Afghani. Alternatively joyous, as in Félicien David’s opera Lalla Roukh, and ominous, as in Massenet’s Le Mage, Iran elicited a multiplicity of treatments. This is most obvious in the travelogues of Flandin, Gobineau, Loti, Jane Dieulafoy, and Marthe Bibesco, which describe the same cities and cultural practices in altogether different ways. Under these writers’ pens, Iran emerges as both an Oriental other and an alter ego, its culture elevated above that of all other Muslim nations. At times this led French writers to critique notions of European superiority. But at others, they appropriated Iran as proto-European through racialist narratives that reinforced Orientalist stereotypes. Drawing on theories of Orientalism and cultural difference, this book navigates both sides of this fascinating and complex literary history. It is the first major study on the subject. In this session of the Discussion Group, Julia Hartley will be in conversation with Dominic Parviz Brookshaw, followed by a Q&A with the audience. Julia Hartley is a Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Glasgow, prior to which she was a Leverhulme Fellow at the University of Warwick and a Lecturer in Comparative Literature at King’s College London. She completed her BA, Masters, and DPhil in French and Italian at Oxford. In 2017, she also completed a second Masters in Iranian Studies at SOAS. Julia’s first monograph, published in Legenda’s Transcript series, was a study of literary vocation in Dante and Proust. Her current research focuses on the reception of Persian literature and representation of Iran in the French long nineteenth century. Her first monograph on this subject will be published by I.B. Tauris in December. Her next monograph, to be published by Edinburgh University Press, is on the French archaeologist Jane Dieulafoy and the reception of ancient Iran in fin-de-siècle France. Julia was selected in 2021 as a BBC New Generation Thinker and has since regularly presented her research on BBC Radio 3.

What a striking contrast: not one major novelist of the 1800s failed to include a painter character in his work. This is not surprising for Balzac and Zola, who had ambitions to bring every aspect of society to life in their fiction; but read Stendhal, Flaubert, the Goncourt brothers, Anatole France, Huysmans, Maupassant, Mirbeau, and of course Proust, and you enter a world in which painting is surprisingly important. What is more, all these novelists explored not only how a painter sees things but also how he represents them, and this produced a new way of writing. “I would only have liked to see you take apart the mechanism of my eye. I enlarge, to be sure; but I don’t enlarge like Balzac, any more than Balzac enlarges like Hugo,” Zola told his protégé Henry Céard, highlighting the visual nature of novels at the time. This was essentially a French phenomenon; it has no real equivalent in England, Germany, or Russia. In the United States, it was not until the end of the century that painting became a literary subject in the work of Henry James. In England, Virginia Woolf would be the first to write about the influence painting had on literature. Why the sudden, widespread interest in France? I believe that this new way of seeing and writing was facilitated by the creation of museums in France after the French Revolution. Frequent long visits to the Louvre gave an entire cohort of young writers a genuine knowledge of painting, a shared language with their painter friends, and a desire to enrich their own works with this newly acquired erudition. The visual novel dates from this period. Having easy access to great works by visiting a museum feels so obvious to us now that we rarely think of the cultural revolution brought about by the advent of modern museums. And yet what a sea change in behavior this opportunity afforded. Before the Revolution only birthright or unusual personal success opened the door to masterpieces held in palaces and mansions, or to galleries of fine paintings acquired by wealthy Parisian collectors. As a result, people were reduced to spending a great deal of time in churches, the only place where anyone was free to admire works of art, at least before or after mass. Italy was especially well endowed in this respect. But appreciating a painting in the gloom of a chapel posed problems that would continue for a long time: during a visit to Venice, Henry James complained he had to forgo admiring the magnificent work of Cima da Conegliano in the church of San Giovanni in Bragora and the superb Tintorettos in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco because the buildings were so dark. Even today, for want of coins to slip into a lighting contraption, visitors have only a few minutes to contemplate frescoes and paintings. Furthermore, it took money and free time to travel around Europe discovering the sculptures and paintings of other cultures. Wandering at will and at one’s own speed around the Louvre’s Grande Galerie was, therefore, a priceless experience—both literally, because admittance was free, and metaphorically. The most significant phenomenon in the French arts scene in the early nineteenth century was therefore incontrovertibly the public exhibition of a huge number of masterpieces. In 1793, during the Reign of Terror, the Louvre opened its doors to the public under a new name, the Central Museum of Arts. The planned program for each “decade” (the ten-day period with which the revolutionary government had replaced the seven-day week) was for the first five days to be reserved for artists and copyists, the next two for cleaning, and the last three for the general public. A crucial innovation, besides the open-door policy, consisted in not simply displaying a great variety of works but in arranging them in what was intended to be an educational way. Immediately after the monarchy fell in 1792, the government started confiscating works of art held in monasteries and churches as well as the assets of the first émigrés. At least some of these works would end up in the Louvre. In addition, treasures from the many royal châteaux were transferred to Paris. The surplus of more than one hundred paintings was stored in Versailles in the Superintendency, the administrative building responsible for the upkeep of royal palaces. The number of works rose spectacularly in 1794 thanks to the military conquests of the Revolution and Napoleon, because at the time every victory was accompanied by systematic pillaging in conquered territories. The looting of art predates revolutionary and imperial wars but the importance, quality, and sheer number of works of art seized in this particular period were beyond imagining. Convoys laden with paintings by Rubens, van Eyck, and Rembrandt appeared in Paris after Brussels was taken in July 1794, and later the fall of Gand and Anvers provided more Flemish art. Over two hundred paintings were confiscated in the Netherlands. Similar thievery occurred in Germany, and on an even greater scale in Italy. Advertisement As soon as Bonaparte was made a general and posted to the army in Italy, he appointed specialized envoys to select works of art, manuscripts, and zoological and botanical curiosities, and these remarkable men (Gaspard Monge, a great mathematician; Claude-Louis Berthollet, a genius of a chemist; Jean-Guillaume Moitte, a renowned sculptor; and the botanist André Thouin, former head gardener of the Royal Garden of Medicinal Plants, now the Jardin des Plantes) not only succeeded in making sound choices but also proved immensely talented organizers. The French justified this plunder by claiming that these treasures would now belong to the people rather than to foreign despots. Thouin ensured that these trophies made a far from discreet arrival: Should we bring precious spoils from Rome like sacks of coal and have them unloaded onto the quay by the Louvre like crates of soap?… No, the whole population must be invited to join the party…. Every class of citizen will see that the government has thought of them, and each of them shall have his own share of such a wealth of booty. They shall see how a republican government compares to a monarchy which makes conquests only to enrich its courtiers and satisfy its vanities. On July 28, 1798, the entrance of a triumphant parade was marked with great celebrations. A procession of exotic animals—lions, camels, and bears—preceded four copper statues of horses, the pride of the façade of Saint Mark’s basilica in Venice, followed by more than thirty carts carrying large classical sculptures, and lastly many of the most famous paintings of the Italian Renaissance: Raphaels, Titians, Tintorettos, and a huge Veronese, The Wedding at Cana. The organizers were aware of how fragile these works were, and did not display them in the open air. Sculptures and paintings were not removed from their cases until they had been allocated a space in the galleries, and the fact that not one of them came to harm during these long journeys, mostly from Italy, considerably impressed the French themselves and foreign visitors. These consignments continued until the end of Napoleon’s conquests. The extraordinary profusion of works of art necessitated a complete reorganization of the Louvre, and this was undertaken under the direction of Dominique Vivant Denon, a diplomat who was passionate about art. A large proportion of French School paintings in the Louvre were sent back to Versailles where a museum dedicated to the French School was established. Substantial alterations were made at the Louvre, and at times it was closed, but as soon as the doors reopened people flocked to see its treasures. The famous portraitist Mme Vigée Le Brun was quick to visit as soon as she returned to Paris, having fled in 1789 and come back under the Consulate in 1802. She wanted to go alone so as not to be distracted, and was so transported in her admiration of such beauty that she did not notice the staff had closed the doors. She was beginning to think she would have to spend the night among the glorious statues, which now looked like terrifying ghosts, but she eventually found a small door on which she knocked so loudly that someone came to let her out. A few months later the Musée du Luxembourg, housing the collection started by Marie de’ Medici, welcomed its first visitors. The galleries of the Palais du Luxembourg had been open to the public for a short period in the eighteenth century but after the Comte de Provence, brother of Louis XVI, had assumed ownership of the site, it was closed to visitors. Watteau had to scheme to be admitted covertly to study Rubens’s Marie de’ Medici cycle. A third major museum, the Musée de l’Histoire de France, was set up at Versailles by Louis-Philippe in 1837. This sort of public access was completely unprecedented in Europe. German princes and English aristocrats had always allowed people to visit their collections but visitors usually had to be recommended. Vigée Le Brun was disappointed that in London’s museum the only exhibits were minerals and stuffed birds, brought back from Captain Cook’s scientific expeditions. The National Gallery opened very modestly in 1824 with a collection of thirty-eight paintings purchased from John Julius Angerstein, a London banker. Even when some galleries were, in principle, open to everyone, the public had to comply with restrictive rules: for example, the requirement that visitors should have clean shoes if they were to visit the public rooms in Vienna’s Imperial Palace implied that they could afford a hansom cab if not a private carriage, and were therefore relatively far up the social scale. Advertisement If France had heeded calls to restore great quantities of plundered artworks to conquered countries after the fall of Napoleon in 1815, the Louvre collection would have been seriously depleted. The French state fought back so energetically that the museum managed to keep almost half the works it had acquired. Several pillaged states lacked the funds to finance repatriations. Some of the smaller Italian states agreed to sell their works of art, and many settlements were reached. Florence relinquished a number of Cimabues but would not back down on the return of some highly prized marble tables. The negotiations were brutal, the general public took great interest in them, and they did nothing to dent the museum’s reputation. The generation of writers who reached adulthood during the Restoration, which began in 1814 (among them Vigny, Balzac, Hugo, Gautier, and Dumas), witnessed a period of extraordinary artistic effervescence and for at least some of them this compensated for the lack of thrilling imperial conquests. The excitement of this period was due not only to the opening of the museum but also to the close friendships between painters and writers. Bohemian artists had elected to live in the Doyenné quarter of Paris to the south of the Place du Carousel, an area that Balzac would describe in Cousine Bette. It was a quarter condemned to be demolished, and a whole colony of artists set up house there, drawn by the modest rents. According to Théophile Gautier, “an encampment of picturesque, literary bohemians” lived “a Robinson Crusoe existence” in the quarter and it became a retreat for writers, artists, and musicians. Interestingly, many writers such as Gautier, Vigny, Alfred de Musset, and Eugène Sue spent time as pupils in artists’ studios, and painters reciprocally mingled in the literary groups that grew up around the Romantic movement. The name Jeunes-France (Young-France) was coined for all these creative types who distinguished themselves as much by their choice of clothes as by their talent, and who regularly met at Victor Hugo’s house. Between them they formed what amounted to a federation of the arts. Eugène Fromentin was both a painter and a writer, Victor Hugo a commendable draftsman. Eugène Sue painted a few sea views and although he soon abandoned the paintbrush for the pen, he remained close to his master, Theodore Gudin, a great specialist of seascapes, and was a dear friend of the famous caricaturist Henri Monnier. Théophile Gautier’s first ambition was to be a painter but, discouraged by how difficult it was, he turned to writing. The Goncourt brothers thought they would make careers as watercolorists. It is hardly surprising then that painters’ studios saw frequent visits from all these writers. “Poets make friends with musicians, musicians with painters, painters with sculptors…the one replies in madrigals to what the other gave him in vignettes,” wrote Stéphane Guégan in his biography of Gautier. When confronting the Classicists in the furor surrounding Victor Hugo’s controversial play Hernani, his friends “called to arms from the world of literature and music, and from the studios of painters, sculptors and architects.” The critic Sainte-Beuve commented with some distaste on the existence of “a society of young painters, sculptors and poets…who depend far too much on the advantages of partnership and camaraderie in artistic matters.” Puccini’s very popular opera La Bohème, which was based on a novel by the contemporaneous Henri Murger, brought to life all the turbulence and energy of this world by depicting the interwoven lives of four artists: a painter, a poet, a musician, and a philosopher. All these young artists endlessly visited one another and would meet at, for example, Achille Devéria’s studio, where Balzac, Hugo, Musset, Alphonse de Lamartine, Liszt, and Sir Walter Scott all posed at one time or another. This constant intimacy explains why novelists of the period so frequently featured their artist friends in their work, and why they were influenced by the way these friends looked at the world. Painting had become an almost inevitable literary subject, particularly as curiosity about art was now something of a social phenomenon. Everyone visited the Louvre, especially artists—both masters and pupils. Beginners spent whole days in its galleries because at the time their craft was learned by copying. The museum also attracted the inquisitive and the idle. It was warm in winter thanks to its modern heating system, there was always something exciting to look at, and it was a respectable place to meet a lady as she could stroll alone in the galleries without provoking comment. Finally it was a draw for the uneducated, who clutched a booklet that listed the subject of each painting and gave a few explanations. The general enthusiasm reached every stratum of society. German and English tourists were amazed by the number of visitors, and claimed to be offended by how filthy and vulgar they were. In 1819 a Prussian diplomat, Karl August Varnhagen, enjoyed everything he saw at the museum but regretted the presence of “fishwives, soldiers, and peasants in wooden shoes,” and he justified his contempt by quoting Goethe: “Works of the mind and art are not for the mob.” Baudelaire was more indulgent, laughing about two soldiers staring at a picture of a kitchen. An error in the catalog listed it as one of Napoleon’s battles. So where’s the emperor? one of the men wondered. You idiot, his friend replied, can’t you see they’re making soup for his return? And the two men walked on, as pleased with themselves as they were with the painter. Wilhelm von Humboldt, brother of the famous explorer Alexander von Humboldt, founder of the Humboldt University of Berlin, and a driving force in setting up Germany’s museums, was full of admiration of the Louvre and even went so far as to recognize that the only way to safeguard ecclesiastical treasures was to transform them into works of art by exhibiting them. This enthusiastic response from foreign visitors may not have justified France’s looting but it certainly bore witness to the extensive interest generated by the Louvre and, more particularly, by the way it was organized. The galleries in various European châteaux—particularly in Germany—that were set aside for works of art and were opened selectively to anyone who asked had none of the Louvre’s educational ambitions, and their curators blithely juxtaposed curios, objets d’art, paintings, and sculptures. According to Balzac, Parisian eyes had a boundless appetite: These eyes consume…endless exhibitions of masterpieces,…twenty illustrated works a year, a thousand caricatures, ten thousand vignettes, lithographs and engravings. It would, in fact, have been impossible for French writers to have been indifferent to the audacity and constant change in painting at the time. How could they have failed to be enthusiastic about Géricault and Delacroix, then Courbet, Manet, and the Impressionists? And appreciating their contemporaries did nothing to stop Balzac, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Zola, or Proust from profoundly admiring art from previous centuries. Parisians were not alone in opening their eyes; during the French Restoration a great many Americans came to Paris, drawn by the capital’s thriving arts scene. Among them, Samuel Morse, who would go on to invent the famous code and who had great ambitions as a painter, virtually took up residence at the Louvre, spending hours perched on an impressive scaffolding to get a closer look at the paintings. In the end he decided to paint the Salon Carré but to fill its walls with his favorite paintings, thus creating what amounted to his ideal museum. The result was a huge, six-foot-by-nine-foot canvas featuring thirty-eight paintings, including the Mona Lisa (see illustration on page 33). He took the painting back to America to exhibit it but, unlike the Louvre, he charged admission. (From this October to January it will be at Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.) The notion that art belonged to the people was now entrenched in the collective consciousness, and the working classes continued to visit the Louvre throughout the nineteenth century. It is no coincidence that in Zola’s L’Assommoir (The Drinking Den), written in 1877, he has Gervaise’s wedding party spend the end of day at the museum. Zola was very aware that the Louvre, along with the regular Salons, had become a part of Parisian life like parades and races. Of course, he did not claim that the populace experienced much artistic sentiment or could offer any serious judgment of the works on display: Shopkeepers in silk dresses and workmen in jackets and round hats gaze at these pictures hanging on walls the way children look at the illustrations in a new book…. But this is no less a gradual education of the masses. You cannot stroll amidst works of art without taking a little bit of art away inside you. The eye develops, the mind learns to judge. This is still better than other Sunday entertainments, shooting galleries, skittles and fireworks. A great many writers suggested themselves to me to illustrate the extraordinary transformation brought about by this fascination with art among the French. In my book The Pen and the Brush I focus on five—Balzac, Zola, Huysmans, Maupassant, and Proust—first out of personal choice but also because these authors each in his own way truly invented a visual style of writing. Equally significantly, the gallery of painters they dreamed up allowed them not only to air their views on the art of their day, but also to depict the complex relationship between artists and the general public. There is a whole world of possibilities between Balzac’s genius, Frenhofer, who despairs of ever convincing his fellow artists of his vision, and Proust’s master, Elstir, who has the patience to explain his art like an optician offering a myopic customer different-strength lenses until he can see clearly.
