The Waldo Mansion

0
0
Texas, Harris County, Houston
A Confederate veteran, J. P. Waldo (1839-1896) settled in Houston after the Civil War. He married Mary Virginia Gentry (1849-1922), daughter of railroad promoter Abram Gentry. Waldo soon became a prosperous railroad executive. In 1885 he built this house at the corner of Rusk and Caroline (2 mi. N). A Mansard roof and tower originally topped the mansion. Elegant millwork adorns the interior. In 1905 Waldo's son Wilmer (1876-1962) moved the house to this site, then a fashionable area on the edge of town. He rebuilt it without most of its Victorian detailing. The Waldo family lived here until 1966.

Prosperous Port Town

0
0
Maryland, St. Mary's County, Chaptico
Colonial Settlement followed the rivers inland, and harbors with deep water became commercial and social centers. The Maryland colony was founded in 1634, and Chaptico was officially established by 1683. In 1689, Chaptico's John Goode organized a rebellion against Lord Baltimore's government in St. Mary's City. Thereafter, the Anglican Church of England was the official church of Maryland, and the state capital was moved to Annapolis.

Conflicting Portrayals of the War of 1812

125 years later, the British feigned and advance up the Potomac River to disguise their advance on Washington, D.C. As they sailed up the Potomac, sailors came ashore to plunder plantations and destroy property, terrorizing the citizens of this young nation.

On July 30, 1814, the British landed at Chaptico's wharf and marched to Christ Church. Two different versions are told of their visit.

American Account

...[The British] conduct would have disgraced cannibals; the houses were torn to pieces, the well which afforded water for the inhabitants was filled up. --- What was still worse, the Church & the Ashes of the Dead shared and equally bad or worse fate. Will you believe that the sunken graves were converted in to barbecue (sic) holes; the remaining glass in the church windows broken, the communion table was used as a dinner table, and then broken to pieces... [and a] vault was entered and the remains of the dead disturbed. Yes, my friend, the winding sheet was torn from the body of a lady of the first respectability . and the whole contents of the vault entirely deranged!... Cockburn was the head of it; that they destroyed the organs, that Judge Key's lady, who had been put into the vault, was ... wantonly exposed; and that his men were exasperated to desperation by this conduct. -- Replica of report from Robert Wright for the Daily National Intelligencer August 4, 1814.

British Accounts

"...we marched and took quiet possession of [Chaptico] without opposition. I remain all day quietly in Chaptico whist the boats shipped off tobacco which was found there in considerable quantity, and at night reembarked without molestation. I visited many house[s] in different parts of the country we passed through, the owners of which were living quietly with their families and seeming to consider themselves and the whole neighborhood as being entirely at my disposal. I caused no further inconvenience to [them], than obliging them to furnish supplies of cattle and stock for... forces under my orders." -- Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn to Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, July 31, 1814.

"... took possession of Chaptico -- where some ladies who had heard of our good behavior [sic] at Leonards Town remained -- and sang an[d] played the piano. We took from thence 70 Hhds [hogsheads] of tobacco, some flour, & military stores but preserved their houses [and] purchased from them stock and various articles of provisions. The men all fled, but the Ladies remained to see the wonderful Admrl. Cockburn and the British folks." -- Captain Robert Rowley report to his superiors, August, 1814.

Christ Church

King and Queen Episcopal Parish was organized in 1692,and the church built in 1736. It is a good example of the Georgian architectural style, inspired by the work of Sir Christopher Wren. Plan books showing the features of Wrens buildings were available in England, and this style flourished in Maryland throughout the 18th century.

The symmetry of the arched windows, and the elaborate cornice detailing (where the exterior walls meet the roof) are typical of the Georgian style. Christ Church is detailed with the Flemish bond brick pattern ,which is typical of early St. Mary's county buildings.

This church was built with taxes collected from all citizens Anglican or not, by Maryland's Provincial government.

Texas, Harris County, Houston
Mississippi native James L. Autry (1859-1920) moved to Corsicana in 1876. There he studied law and held civic offices at the time of the first oil discoveries in Texas. He was chief counsel for the Texas Co. (later Texaco) and a pioneer in the new field of petroleum law. Autry commissioned Sanguinet and Staats to design this home, which was constructed in 1912. The neoclassical design features a double balustraded gallery and large fluted Doric columns. Also prominent are a port-cochere and fernery (sunroom), and a hipped Lodovico tile roof. The rear garage has upstairs servants quarters.

Terrence C. Graves Monument

New York, Tompkins County, Groton
(main center panel) 2d Lt. USMC-Posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for action in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam-February 16, 1968.

(left panel) Terrence C. Graves, or “Terry” as his friends and family knew him, entered the world on July 6, 1945 in Corpus Christi, Texas where his father served as a naval flight instructor during World War II. He was the first of four children to be born to parents Marjorie and Leslie Graves and was followed by brother Eric and sisters Debbie and Kathy who completed the closely knit household, although sister Debbie passed away at an early age. After completing his military service, Leslie moved the family to Central New York where he began a career in teaching and public school administration.

Terry had already begun to demonstrate his exceptional academic, athletic and leadership qualities by the time he entered high school. In Edmeston, New York, where he spent most of his public school years. Terry was consistent honor student who served as president of both the Student Council and the Honor Society. His academic achievements were easily matched by his athletic prowess which earned him varsity letters in football, basketball, baseball, and track while he was still a freshman. Baseball was always his favorite sport though, as demonstrated by his .676 batting average in his senior year. His passion for the game was evident every time he took the field, and he was always recognized for his good sportsmanship. In 1963, during his senior year, he was called by the Cincinnati Reds organization for tryout camp, Terry had other plans. He as headed for Miami University of Ohio with a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship.

That same year, the Graves family moved to Groton, New York where Leslie had accepted the position of School District Superintendent. For the next four years, Terry attended college in Ohio and spent his holidays and summer vacations in Groton where he made many close friends. Baseball continued to be an integral part of his life, and he lettered for three years as a talented second baseman on some outstanding Miami baseball teams. In the summers, Terry enthusiastically coached many Groton Little Leaguers, passing on his love for the game. Terry’s personal qualities and leadership abilities were also recognized by the instructors and the Commandant of the NROTC program which led to his eventual appointment as Battalion Commander. Upon his graduation in May of 1967, Terry chose to be commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and, within six months, was ordered to South Vietnam for service with the 3rd Recon Battalion of the 3rd Marine Division.

On February 16, 1968, two months after his arrival in South Vietnam, Terry heroically gave his life to save the wounded members of his team and, in so doing, earned his nation’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

(right panel) The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor posthumously to SECOND LIEUTENANT TERRENCE C. GRAVES, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS for service as set forth in the following CITATION: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a platoon commander with the 3d Force Reconnaissance Company. While on a long-range reconnaissance mission, 2d Lt. Graves' 8-man patrol observed 7 enemy soldiers approaching their position. Reacting instantly, he deployed his men and directed their fire on the approaching enemy. After the fire had ceased, he and 2 patrol members commenced a search of the area, and suddenly came under a heavy volume of hostile small arms and automatic weapons fire from a numerically superior enemy force. When 1 of his men was hit by the enemy fire, 2d Lt. Graves moved through the fire-swept area to his radio and, while directing suppressive fire from his men, requested air support and adjusted a heavy volume of artillery and helicopter gunship fire upon the enemy. After attending the wounded, 2d Lt. Graves, accompanied by another marine, moved from his relatively safe position to confirm the results of the earlier engagement. Observing that several of the enemy were still alive, he launched a determined assault, eliminating the remaining enemy troops. He then began moving the patrol to a landing zone for extraction, when the unit again came under intense fire which wounded 2 more marines and 2d Lt. Graves. Refusing medical attention, he once more adjusted air strikes and artillery fire upon the enemy while directing the fire of his men. He led his men to a new landing site into which he skillfully guided the incoming aircraft and boarded his men while remaining exposed to the hostile fire. Realizing that 1 of the wounded had not em barked, he directed the aircraft to depart and, along with another marine, moved to the side of the casualty. Confronted with a shortage of ammunition, 2d Lt. Graves utilized supporting arms and directed fire until a second helicopter arrived. At this point, the volume of enemy fire intensified, hitting the helicopter and causing it to crash shortly after liftoff. All aboard were killed. 2d Lt. Graves' outstanding courage, superb leadership and indomitable fighting spirit throughout the day were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Selma-to-Montgomery March

Alabama, Montgomery County, Montgomery

Side A
The Selma-to-Montgomery March ended here on March 25, 1965, when 25,000 civil rights marchers arrived at the Alabama State Capitol to demand the right to vote for African Americans. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders addressed the marchers and the nation, culminating a series of demonstrations that began in Selma on March 7 - "Bloody Sunday" - when some 600 peaceful protesters were savagely beaten by lawmen as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
(Continued on other side)


Side B
In January 1965, activists led by Dr. King launched a series of voter registration drives and demonstrations to secure the right of black citizens to register and vote in Alabama elections - a constitutional right impeded by Gov. George Wallace and other officials. They were met with state-sponsored terrorism. On the night of February 18 in Marion, amid a melee that began when police started clubbing peaceful protesters, a state trooper shot and killed a young black man, Jimmie Lee Jackson. Infuriated by Jackson's murder, leaders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference called upon residents of Alabama's Black Belt counties to peacefully march on the Alabama Capitol to demand voting reforms. Less than five months after the last of the three marches, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law.

On to Yorktown

Maryland, Charles County, Port Tobacco
Upon arrival of French forces in Newport, Rhode Island in July 1780, Baron Ludwig von Closen, a captain in the Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment, was selected by General Rochambeau as one of his aides-de-camp. Closen accompanied Rochambeau on most of his visits with General Washington and was chosen as courier of many important communications, including messages to the French fleet commanders Admirals de Barras and De Grasse. Closen kept a detailed diary of his activities throughout his stay in America, including the Yorktown Campaign of 1781.

At Baltimore on 12 September 1781, Closen and his fellow aide-de-camp Baron Marie-Francois Cromot Dubourg decided to separate from the main army and seek a shorter route to Williamsburg. That evening they set out with four servants and 10 horses. Traveling without a guide they lost their way and spent the night at a remote farm. The next day they rode through Queen Anne to Upper Marlboro from where they continued to Port Tobaccco on 14 September.

Closen described Port Tobacco as "situated at the foot of a hill, where there is a stream bordered by about twenty houses....In the evening we had time to climb up to the church, which is situated on a dominating height, from which we had a delightful view." The church was St. Ignatius, described by Cromot Dubourg as "very handsome."

The next day they traveled to Laidler's Lower Ferry Landing at Charlestown (now Morgantown) where they took Hooes' Ferry to Point Mathias on the Virginia side of the Potomac. They reached Williamsburg on 18 September, Closen regularly entered the trenches with the regiment and had the satisfaction of witnessing Lord Cornwallis surrender his forces on 19 October 1781.

United States Army-Detachment A-302, Company A, 5th Special Forces Group, Airborne, 1st Special Forces-United States Congressional Medal of Honor. The United States Congressional Medal of Honor was awarded to Master Sergeant Charles E. Hosking, Jr. posthumously, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action, at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. On March 21, 1967, in the Phouoc Long Province, Republic of Vietnam, with utter disregard for his own personal safety, Sergeant Hosking wrestled a Viet Cong sniper with a fully armed hand grenade to the ground. The grenade blast killed both Sergeant Hosking and the sniper instantly. Sergeant Hosking saved the lives of 4 members of the Company Command Group who were standing a few feet away. Sergeant Hosking’s ultimate sacrifice was in the highest tradition of the United States Army and reflects great credit and honor upon himself, and the Armed Forces of his country.

The Skirmish at Spring Creek

0
Nebraska, Nuckolls County, Ruskin
From April through October 1870 Company C of the second U.S. Cavalry garrisoned a temporary military post, Camp Bingham, located northeast of here on the Little Blue River, to protect nearby settlements from Indians.

On May 15 Sergeant Patrick J. Leonard and Privates Heath Canfield, Michael Himmelsbach, Thomas Hubbard, and George W. Thompson were sent to search for lost horses on Spring Creek. Near this spot on May 17 the five soldiers were attacked by about fifty Indians. After a two-hour skirmish in which Hubbard was wounded and the cavalrymen's horses killed, the Indians withdrew.

When a report of the skirmish reached Secretary of War William W. Belknap, he ordered Medals of Honor presented to Leonard, Canfield, Himmelsbach, Hubbard, and Thompson. More Medals of Honor were won in this brief engagement than in any other incident in Nebraska's military history.
