of the American Civil War from multiple perspectives of those who lived through it and its immediate aftermath. The overwhelmingly positive response is gratifying for our dedicated staff and board who worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition.

Fiscal 2019 was a year of transition. In October 2018, The Museum of the Confederacy building closed as we prepared for the opening of our new facility at Historic Tredegar. We opened a visitor center for the White House of the Confederacy directly behind it. The new space has a gift shop, multipurpose room and new restrooms.

Although the new facility opened two months later than initially planned, the Historic Tredegar site saw significant improvement in visitation even prior to the opening of the new building. Unfortunately, we continued to see modest declines at the White House of the Confederacy and Appomattox locations. We are hopeful those will stabilize in the coming years as we implement new initiatives.

Throughout the fiscal year, our education programs, lecture series, and book talks featured prominent local and national historians and leaders. We continue to attract members and others for compelling presentations about the Civil War and its legacies. Among the most popular FY19 offerings were the last of the “House 200” programs commemorating the White House of the Confederacy bicentennial and the Foundry Series exploring connections between past and present.

By carefully managing general operations resources, the Museum finished the fiscal year better than budget by more than $166,000 before depreciation. In addition, the ACWM Foundation continued to attract capital donors for the myriad other projects related to the next phase of our long-term plans. Those plans include the completion of the Experience Theater, the Water Table Exhibition, more renovations at the White House of the Confederacy, and much needed growth in reserve funds.

Many of you joined us during Gala festivities the week prior to the Grand Opening and saw for yourselves this stellar achievement made possible because of your generous support.

We could not be more pleased by visitor feedback and extensive coverage by leading publications around the country. This new facility reflects our desire to share the history

In addition to financial details, you’ll also read in this annual report about new donations to our impressive collection and programmatic highlights.

Again, none of this would be possible without your continued and generous financial support. It is deeply appreciated.

Thank you,

Christy S. Coleman, CEO

How Dry I Am: Prohibition in the Confederate Capital during the Civil War

BY ROBERT F. HANCOCK

R

The Drinking scene in Antebellum Richmond

ichmond,Virginia, in 1860 had a population of approximately 38,000, the third largest city in the South after New Orleans and Charleston. That population increased to more than 100,000 during the War. In 1860 the city boasted 13 brass and iron foundries, 56 tobacconists, 17 tobacco and cigar makers, nine tobacco mills, seven tobacco warehouses, and one tobacco exchange.

Besides the expected grocers, clothiers, lawyers, doctors, etc., there were also four ambrotypists (photographers), one piano forte maker, five guano dealers, four cuppers and leechers, and one bird dealer.

To satisfy the thirsty drinking crowd, the city boasted 88 saloons and 30 restaurants, all but six with accompanying drinking establishments. That is more licensed saloons than the number of dry goods merchants and hotels combined.

According to the city directory, there were also 19 liquor and

wine merchants. And, speaking of hotels, most during the period had a gentlemen’s saloon where the man of leisure could purchase a cigar and grab a drink and a bite to eat away from the noisy streets and disapproving wives. Women, of course, were not allowed in such places.

An English visitor to the States in 1856 had this to say about American barmen: The barkeeper and his assistants possess the agility of acrobats and the prestidigitative skill of magicians.

They are all bottle conjurers.They toss the drinks about; they throw

brimful glasses over their heads; they shake the saccharine, glacial and alcoholic ingredients in their long, thin tubes; they scourge eggs and cream into froth; they send bumpers shooting from one end of the bar to the other, without spilling a drop; they give change, talk politics, tell quaint anecdotes, swear strange oaths, smoke, chew, and expectorate with astonishing celerity and dexterity. I should like to be a barkeeper, if I were clever enough.

home, took readily to the flesh pots of Richmond, and carried their good cheer beyond the brothels and saloons.

The War So, by 1860, Richmond was an established drinkers’ haven. All that would change during the War in the name of civil order and security.

Until that time, one could visit any of a plethora of drinking establishments to take the edge off after (or during) a hard workday. There was Drumhellers Saloon on Broad near First. Then there was the Grapes Restaurant (and Reading Room) at 79 Main Street whose proprietor, E.W. Usher, had twenty years in the liquor trade and kept the “best bottled liquors, Wines, &c.: also Guinness’ London and Dublin Bottled Porter and Ale; also, the best brands of Lager Beer.” Trull’s Rum, Stuart’s Mountain Whiskey, Pure old Apple Brandy, French Brandy, Baltimore Gin, Holland Gin, and Heidsick and Mum Champagnes were in abundant supply. One of the most distinguished establishments was run by John Dabney, a slave owned by the DeJarnette family, who was working as a caterer and restaurateur to buy his freedom, and was considered one of the best caterers in the city. (See sidebar on page 11.)

However, with the capital of the Confederacy being moved to Richmond and the resultant increase in population, especially with tens of thousands of soldiers passing through and camped around the city, things very quickly got out of hand. Soldiers, far from the calming influence of hearth and Albumen print of John H. Winder.

Newspaper accounts relate “a considerable amount of lawlessness, embraced under the common heading of “drunkedness [sic],” Americus Holliday, “wearing the vestments of a soldier… disguised himself in liquor, and while in that condition, besides pelting little boys with hen eggs, had chased a number of ladies who were passing near the Old Market.” One man drew a pistol on Robert Thompson, barkeeper at the Grapes Saloon. The assailant and his friends, it is reported, “pounded the unfortunate mixer of liquors ‘without sufficient cause,’ and in a manner which was decidedly detrimental to his good looks….” After clearing out the Grapes Saloon, they proceeded to Granger’s to continue their fun.

On another occasion there was found on Main Street “the inanimate form of a young and good looking man, who, judging from his dress…was a commissioned officer. He was about the drunkest mortal we ever saw. His canteen was half full of stuff strong enough to split a brick.”

Desperate times called for desperate measures. The editor of the Richmond Examiner, in writing about adopting certain resolutions to put the city in the state of readiness against invasion, exclaimed: “The Government must do all these things [defend and secure the safety of the city] by military order, and without consulting anybody. The President is looked to for…the enforcement of the necessary though disagreeable laws. To the dogs with Constitutional questions and moderation!”

We hope the editor was not a drinker, because, on March 1, 1862, President Davis proclaimed martial law in Richmond.

The Confederate government suspended the privilege of Habeas Corpus, confiscated

personal firearms, instituted curfews, and, last but not least, outlawed the manufacture, sale, and consumption of spirituous liquors. A week later, martial law was also declared in Petersburg, Virginia.

Sixty-two-year-old General John Winder who, before the War, served as post commander in several U.S. forts across the country and described by one person as “impulsive, stubborn, short-tempered, profane, and aloof,” assumed responsibility for administering military rule in Richmond. Colonel John Porter was made provost marshal.

Prohibition of liquor manufacture and consumption did not come out of nowhere. The temperance advocates had been whining about the social ills of spirituous libations since the beginning of the 19th century. As part of a larger movement towards humanitarian reform (which included the abolition of slavery and the more humane treatment of the poor and other socially marginalized people) throughout much of Western Europe and the United States, the Temperance Movement sought to moderate the consumption of intoxicating liquors which was thought (not wrongly) to be the cause of many social ills — health problems, destitution, and crime were at the top of the list.

County, in southwestern Virginia, petitioned the state to prohibit the distillation of grain into whiskey which, they stated, was “consuming in a few months the entire products of the county.” One report stated that a single distillery in Richmond consumed a thousand bushels of grain per day.

The fact that the majority of Temperance groups were composed of women suggests who, along with their children, bore the brunt of the effects of overindulgence. In the South the temperance movement was often associated with the abolitionist movement, just another branch from the same tree of social reform, and they were not in the mood for that sort of reform. If anything, they drank all the harder.

Back in Richmond, an attempt at moderating alcohol consumption was tried early in the War. The closure of barrooms on Sundays was the first suggestion. However, it was the distilleries that became the primary targets of those advocating the suppression of alcohol manufacture and sale, thus reducing (or eliminating) consumption.

People writing to Richmond newspapers pointed to other states, such as Tennessee, which had already passed laws prohibiting the manufacture of alcohol. Petitions were circulated through a number of counties and bills came to the floor of the state legislature to prevent the unnecessary consumption of immense quantities of grain by distilleries, who converted corn and rye “from a blessing to a curse.” Floyd

Because the profits seen in whiskey manufacturing were so great, the distillers could afford to pay almost any price for the grain from which their product was distilled. Consequently, grain prices rose sharply, and many complained that the poorer classes would unduly suffer, and “where plenty should have reigned, starvation may appear even in our midst.” Even the government found difficulty in procuring grain for soldiers and horses. At one point, they ordered the seizure of grain in the hands of the distillers, but they ended up countermanding the order because of doubt as to its legality.

If moderation could not be enforced,

do away with liquor altogether.

However, the buzz-killers were not without cause demanding the eradication of intoxicating beverages.

One only has to read the newspaper accounts of the civil court cases involving the results of heavy drinking.

So, the Confederate government stepped in and declared that “the distillation and distribution of vinous, spirituous,

and malt liquors, or other intoxicating beverage is absolutely prohibited.” The Provost Marshal would strictly enforce the law “against all persons found distilling, selling, giving away, or in any manner disposing of such beverages.”

The distilleries were shut down and the myriad drinking establishments closed up shop throwing hundreds out of work overnight.

Under martial law, the civil authorities, in the form of the Richmond City police and Mayor’s court, continued to operate as usual. If you broke a city ordinance, you appeared before the Mayor’s Court to be tried and, if convicted, sentenced.

General Winder employed his own men to enforce his own general orders, edicts passed by the military authorities to enforce martial law.

So zealous was Winder in his pursuit of contraband spirits that he even confiscated Elijah Baker’s Patent Medicinal Bitters from the pharmacies.

His civilian detectives, referred to by many as “plug-uglies,” (named after the “political” gangs in Baltimore and New York) ruled the streets and woe betide anyone who crossed them. The famous war clerk diarist, J.B. Jones, described martial law in Richmond as a “reign of terror!” One ill-spoken word, one derisive look, and you were off to jail and, if convicted, one month of hard labor.

Scores of people were rounded up for selling illicit liquor and tried before the Court Martial. One inventive fellow ran a sort of speakeasy from his room in the American Hotel; his customers needing a special red ticket for entrance.

Others tried to smuggle into the city liquor packed in dry goods crates to be picked up later at the train depot. Some took a more direct route and sold booze straight to the soldiers in camp around the city. Sentences for offenders could be harsh. William Harrold, of Petersburg, was sentenced to have one half of his head shaved, wear a barrel shirt, and stand with it on for several hours a day for three days in front of the house where he sold the illegal liquor, and to work six months T H E A M E R I C A N C I V I L WA R M U S E U M 9

on the public fortifications with a ball and chain attached to his leg. Michael Hanley, of Richmond, received similar punishment for trying to smuggle liquor through the city packed up in barrels of potatoes. The liquor was seized as were the potatoes which were appropriated to the use of the hospitals.

The Confederate Medical Department still deemed alcohol, especially brandy or whiskey, as a medical necessity, and whiskey barrels at the hospitals had to be carefully watched. Colonel Porter’s provosts kept a wary eye on the city’s many pharmacists and a number were arrested for allegedly distributing liquor without a doctor’s prescription.

Despite the Draconian measures, enough liquor was squirreled away or smuggled into the city to keep the provosts busy.

One cavalry trooper, in the city without leave, “got drunk, and amused himself riding about Seventeenth Street, in a manner precarious to pedestrians.” He was finally run to ground and he fought so furiously it took four men to hold

him, and it was necessary to tie him and bring him to the watch house in a cart.

On another occasion, a soldier was sent into the city with a horse and cart to pick up supplies. He discharged his duty, “then getting drunk sold the horse and wagon and stores.”

General Orders No. 15, issued a fortnight after martial law was declared, extended the prohibition on alcohol to the counties of Elizabeth City,York, Warwick, Gloucester, and Mathews.

Some questioned the legality of the martial law imposed by Jefferson Davis.

One of the most outspoken was the mayor of Richmond, Joseph Mayo. After the provosts made a somewhat heavyhanded arrest of one Michael Walls, tavern owner, for — according to the provosts — having in his possession illicit whiskey, the mayor of Richmond challenged the arrest, contending that martial law was unconstitutional. Based on that premise he further contended that the arrest was nothing short of assault and battery and subject to indictment by the Grand Jury.

In December 1862, nine months after the introduction of prohibition in Richmond, Petersburg, and the surrounding counties, General Order No. 41 was issued. By order of Brigadier General John Winder and in obedience to instructions from the Secretary of War, the importation into the city of spirituous liquors will be limited to 150 barrels per month. It was intended for private consumption only and was not to be sold to soldiers. The result was the reappearance of advertisements f­or brandy, rum, old apple brandy and fine whiskey “for family use.” And just in time for Christmas!

In the end, it was the rising grain prices that individual states sought to control by prohibiting distillation of grain spirits (unless licensed by the government) but not the sale or consumption of alcohol.

Eight states in the Confederacy passed some form of prohibition laws between March 1862 and December 1863: Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

By the end of the War, there was a stockpile of government sanctioned and confiscated liquor. At the order to evacuate Richmond before the fast-approaching Union army, barrel heads were staved in and bottles smashed. The streets ran with liquor and pandemonium reigned as retreating soldiers and citizens, alike, inebriated, befuddled, potted, plastered, drunk on the free-flowing spirits, staggered about the streets, three sheets to the wind, smashing windows and generally making a nuisance of themselves.

After the War, ideas of continuing prohibition were largely pushed to the side as the country tried to rebuild itself.

Such a momentous task required the occasional tipple and most historians consider the years between 1865 and World War One as the “golden years” of American tippling. However, the Temperance Movement, fragmented and regionalized by the War, was far from dead. In 1869, the National Prohibition Party was formed and they spent the next 50 years working to get their way.

John Dabney

ENCYCLOPEDIA VIRGINIA

“skillful architect of pyramidal adornment”

U

nlike their counterparts in the big northern cities, a number of barkeepers in Richmond were men of color, free or enslaved.

There was Jasper Crouch, a freedman, who served up drinks at the Quoit Club.

John Dabney, who was owned by the DeJarnette family, and, according to the Richmond Times, was the “cunningest compounder of beverages, and the most skillful architect of pyramidal adornments and floral fancy garniture.” He was working to buy his and his wife’s freedom. The war ended before he had paid the full debt. Even though he did not have to, he paid the remaining money anyway.

Jim Cook, a slave, served HRH the Prince of Wales during his 1860 visit to Richmond. Cook’s juleps were the Prince’s fondest memory of his visit. (This event is also attributed to Dabney and they worked together in at least one Richmond restaurant.)

Lemuel Butler worked at the Powhatan House and formally at the Columbian. He died in 1870 at the age of 52.

A newspaper advertisement in Richmond’s Daily Dispatch run in 1857 specifically requested for hire “a competent barkeeper (colored)” to work at the Springs for the summer season, with the option to stay for the balance of the year if desired.

MUSEUM AWARDED NATIONAL GRANT FOR 2020 TEACHER WORKSHOP

W

hile the Civil War and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution emancipated 4 million enslaved people in the United States, that momentous transformation was not inevitable, nor was it clear what freedom would mean.

From July 5-18, 2020, 36 educators will come together at the Museum for summer professional development funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities to explore the origins, process, lived experiences, and legacies of Emancipation.

Emancipation and Evolving American Identity is a two-week summer institute for K-12 educators that includes discussions with leading scholars, field trips to Virginia sites highlighting the complex history of the end of slavery, and workshop sessions that focus on techniques and strategies educators can use in their classroom. Selected participants will discover:

• How many Americans, including enslaved and free black people, chose

to act boldly against the institution of slavery, while political leaders influenced national policy.

• How the choices and legacies of

their experiences still shape the evolving view of this history as well as our lives today.

• How the Institute can help educators

be more comfortable, competent, and confident teaching this topic, both in content and strategies.

For more information about the Institute’s agenda, faculty, or application (due March 1), visit the website: http://teachemancipation.institute.

S. Buford Scott

S

ince the day Buford joined the Board of the American Civil War Center in 2008, he was an impactful, yet quiet, leader. When Buford leaned forward and lightly raised his hand, saying, “Excuse me Mr. Chair,” the room would go silent and all heads would turn to hear the words of wisdom that were sure to come from this very wise man. And, true enough, no matter the topic or tone of the meeting, Buford had something positive and encouraging to say that was an important message for everyone to hear, and left lasting impressions on us individually and institutionally.

INTERNS Carter Ayres, University of Richmond John Legg,Virginia Tech Claire Noppenberger, University of Richmond Tashae Smith, Cooperstown Graduate Program, SUNY Oneonta

Buford was a tireless advocate on behalf of the museum. The weekly Monday morning meetings he held with the Foundation leadership team were instrumental in the Museum’s success.

There is no doubt that Buford made more phone calls, had more meetings, and spentmore time in between Board meetings than just about anyone. His network of connections was the result of a lifetime of relationships made through his important work in the community. Sharing the progress and good news about each of them with others always brought a smile to his face.

He will be sorely missed by the entire Board and Staff, and no doubt to all of those who were lucky enough to know him.

A SHROPSHIRE LAD IN OHIO

BY ROBERT F. HANCOCK

I

was not sure what to expect when a plain cardboard box was laid in front of me in the Museum’s examination room. I was told that it contained the uniform of a young man from England who had served in the U.S. Army during the war. I admit I was skeptical.

When I opened it, I was more than just a little pleased.

There before me was a dark blue uniform jacket (photo, right) worn during the war.

It looked as if the original owner had just taken it off without even bothering to clean the mud stains off the sleeves. Here was a little piece of history.

The soldier’s descendants – the people who had brought the box for examination and donation – not only had preserved the uniform carefully, but they had

PHOTO BY ROBERT F. HANCOCK

Over the years I have grown cautious with my expectations when someone says he has a Civil War uniform. I have seen too many post-war veteran’s coats or National Guard uniforms which, after having been passed down for a couple of generations, had transformed into the uniform worn by great-great somebody at the Battle of Gettysburg or Shiloh or some other place. So it was with an impending sense of disappointment that I approached the box.

also gathered considerable documentary evidence on the their ancestor.

Leave your home behind, lad, And reach your friends your hand, And go, and luck go with you While Ludlow tower shall stand.

A.E. Housman “A Shropshire Lad” Poem III William Henry Parker was born June 2, 1839 to Benjamin and Prudence Parker in the county of Shropshire, England. We know nothing of William’s formative years growing up in Shropshire or why he decided to leave, but in 1859, at the age of 20, he crossed the ocean to the United States and settled in Ohio.

No letters or diaries of William’s are known to exist, so what we know of him comes primarily from his service records from his time in the army.

one hitch strap.” It does not say whether there was a stoppage of pay to replace it. By July of the next year, he was promoted to corporal – a rather empty, thankless rank in that you had very little real power compared to the sergeants who lorded over the company, and most of the privates below you (from whence you had just been promoted) tended not to take your new authority seriously.

Regardless, Parker soldiered on.

On June 27, 1863, two companies of the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry, including Parker’s company, were scouting along the Kanawha River when he was taken prisoner by Confederate raiders at Loop Creek, about 30 miles southeast of Charleston. His captain, C.E. Hambleton, wrote a report of the

cover in the woods behind them.

To add to the confusion, a few U.S. soldiers on the opposite side of the river opened fire on the Confederates as well. Several prisoners taken during the initial rush were able to escape their captors in the chaos. However, the Confederates were still able to make off with 29 prisoners, including Parker, and more than half of the horses and equipment. “The whole affair did not last more than fifteen or twenty minutes,” continued Hambleton. “That we did not allow the rebels to do all this without some resistance is evidenced by the fact that they left 1dead on the field …

5 of their horses were left dead and 3 wounded …. None deplore the result of this trip more than myself; and, while I consider it a disaster, I do not think it a disgrace.”

Parker was sent to Belle Isle prison Parker enlisted for a period of camp in Richmond.

During the course of the war, the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry lost four officers and 77 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded and 115 enlisted men by disease. While Parker was not among these casualties, the war nevertheless claimed him. He died April 6, 1867 at the age of 27 from consumption, which he contracted while in the army, and was buried in Woodland Cemetery in Ironton, Ohio.

2020 Symposium

Program to feature five historians sharing 20/20

hindsight on the American Civil War

T

he calendar soon will flip over to the year 2020 – a number synonymous with the cliché that “everything is clearer in ‘20/20 hindsight’.” In the spirit of that cliché, the Museum’s annual symposium will feature five historians bringing their own 20/20 hindsight – and insights – on the American Civil War. The speakers include two of the world’s foremost Civil War scholars, William C. “Jack” Davis, former executive director of the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies at Virginia Tech, and Gary W. Gallagher, John L. Nau III Professor in the History of the American Civil War Emeritus at the University of Virginia.

What insights have they gleaned from nearly 50 years each of active Civil War research?

Joining them are three younger scholars with insights from their own path- breaking studies. Dr. Tamika Nunley is assistant professor of History and Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Virginia, and has completed a manuscript, At the Threshold of Liberty: Women, Slavery and the Boundaries of Freedom in Washington, D.C. Dr. Susannah J. Ural is professor of history and co-director of the Dale

Center for the Study of War & Society at the University of Southern Mississippi. The latest of her four books, Hood’s Texas Brigade: The Soldiers and Families of the Confederacy’s Most Celebrated Unit, explores the intersection of military and social history.

Dr. Jonathan W. White is associate professor of American Studies at Christopher Newport University. He is the author and editor of nine books, including Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln, which was a finalist for both the Lincoln Prize and the Jefferson Davis Award.

COLLECTIONS UPDATE

What’s the Latest on the Museum’s Photograph and Manuscript Collections?

BY JOHN M. COSKI

f you have been waiting to use The Museum of the Confederacy’s valuable manuscripts in their new home at Richmond’s Virginia Historical Society, your wait may be over. If you wish to use the Museum’s collection of photographs for research or publication… well, then, your wish is our command.

In 2014, the American Civil War Museum and the Virginia Historical Society (since renamed the Virginia Museum of History and Culture or VMHC) entered into a licensing agreement by which the VMHC would digitize the Museum of the Confederacy photo collections and handle all requests for digital images.

By the same agreement, the Museum of the Confederacy’s manuscript collections moved to the VMHC, where the VMHC will make them available in its library reading room.

There you can find out how to search for specific images and how to make on-line orders of images for personal use or publication.

The work of making the vast CMLS manuscript collection available is a years-long process. It entails giving the simply inventoried CMLS collections the

Since then the VMHC project staff has made much progress with what are known formally as the CMLS collections – so named because the Museum of the Confederacy’s parent corporation, the Confederate Memorial Literary Society (CMLS), remains their legal owner.

kind of deep, descriptive cataloging that has made the VMHC one of the nation’s outstanding manuscript repositories.

The VMHC on-line catalog entries offer voluminous details about the documents in each collection.

The photo collections are fully digitized and available for viewing on the VMHC website. Go to www.virginiahistory. org/collections and look for the link to “Learn More about the Confederate Memorial Literary Society collections.”

Many of the larger and more heavilyused CMLS collections series are now available in the VMHC catalog. These include soldier letters and diaries; records of Confederate hospitals, surgeons, and medical personnel,

Confederate naval vessels and officers, and Confederate monument and memorial associations; and documents relating to African Americans, women, and families.

To find those collections in the VMHC catalog, go to www.virginiahistory.org and click on “Search the Collections” and then “Library catalog.”

To see all the CMLS collections in the catalog, you can filter your search by going to the Library catalog page and clicking on “Popular Searches” and then <select saved search> to find “Confederate Memorial Literary Society Manuscript Collections.”

Selective digitizations of the manuscript is a very timeconsuming process and is a lower priority than the thorough cataloging of the collection. A few collections have been digitized and are available through the VMHC website. If any part of a collection has been digitized, you will see an “Attachment” link at the bottom of the catalog entry.

CMLS collections not yet appearing in the on-line catalog may be available for research. Scroll to the bottom of the “Search the Collections” page, click on “contact our research staff” and either fill in the form or send an email request to the reference@virginiahistory.org email address.

John M. Coski is the Museum’s Historian and former Library Director.

Q

+A

What part of your job do you enjoy most? I enjoy my job most when I am interacting with the public.

Whether I’m giving a Brown’s Island Tour to senior adults, performing a mock amputation for a group of students, or welcoming visitors to one of our programs, I’m inspired by people’s desire to learn.

What’s your favorite artifact in the Collection? It’s really difficult to name a favorite artifact; we have such a wonderful collection. I like artifacts that I can image people using — such as Elizabeth Van Lew’s china. I can see her serving coffee in her Church Hill home, perhaps to a Confederate official to gain valuable information. I’m also drawn to Brigadier General Lewis Armistead’s sword; I can picture him holding it high charging up Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg. Hair intrigues me, too — how people saved it and even worked it into wreaths and jewelry to memorialized loved ones. Seeing someone’s hair can help to create a better mental image of a person. I remember the first time I saw Sally Tompkins’s hair how surprised I was. Judging from her photograph, I assumed she had hair as dark as mine, but it was actually fairly light, a sort of honey brown.

Where is the most memorable location you’ve traveled to? Every place that we have been holds special memories — whether it was touring Lord Nelson’s ship Victory at Portsmouth, exploring Antica Ostia outside of Rome, hiking Logan’s Pass at Glacier National Park, or watching the Lipizzaners at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

Naming a most memorable place is difficult, but I’ll quote Audrey Hepburn and say, “Paris is always a good idea.”

We have a strange connection to the city that I can’t quite explain. It’s more than the history, the art, the food, or the people; it’s je ne sais quoi.

What are you reading right now?

it years ago but decided to revisit it.

Dickens is one of my favorite authors, so I return to him when I’m in between books.

If you could have coffee with someone featured in an ACWM exhibit, who would you pick? I would pick Susie King Taylor. She was a courageous woman of strength and determination with an incredible story. Susie was born into slavery on a farm outside of Savannah, Georgia, but for some unknown reason, she was allowed to live with her grandmother in the city where she leaned to read and write in secret.

After the outbreak of the Civil War, Susie seized her freedom and escaped to one of the Sea Islands that had been occupied by the U.S. Army. She was really a girl, only about 14, but the army put her in charge of a school. Then, she married Edward King, a soldier in a volunteer regiment that later became the 33rd United States Colored Troops.

She traveled with him; and in spite of signing up as a laundress, she spent much of her time nursing soldiers.

After the war, Susie lost her husband in an accident and had to provide for her son on her own. She encountered the evils of racism, but maintained an optimistic outlook in spite of all she endured. Susie eventually moved to Boston, remarried and wrote her memoirs. They are still in print today and provide an amazing window into the Civil War Era.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING A CHANCE

irect Mail fundraising is a shot in the dark for non-profit organizations.

It involves taking on a lot of risk for what can turn out to be very little reward. But, in the case of the American Civil War Museum, we must have done something right.

Because of our Direct Mail initiative, more than a thousand of you reading this issue of our magazine joined our membership program in the past year, and even more gave contributions to our Annual Fund. We cannot thank you enough for your support of this institution!

The Mexican made, Grimsley silver mounted saddle (above) was owned by Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan.

Morgan’s friends in Augusta, Georgia presented him with the saddle and saddle straps in May 1862.

A plate attached to the pommel reads, “Presented to Col. John Hunt Morgan of Lexington, Kentucky, by his friends in Augusta, GA., May 1862.”

The use of Direct Mail is very common among non-profit institutions. It gives us the opportunity to reach people who may not have discovered ACWM on their own and introduce them to us and our mission.

Through it we receive vital funding for the Museum, which goes to everything from preserving our comprehensive collection of Civil War artifacts to simply keeping the lights on at each of our locations.

We get the opportunity to share the amazing things we do with a whole new audience, with hopes this audience will turn into long term, invested donors.

As we strive toward fulfilling our mission to be the preeminent center for the exploration of the American Civil War and its legacies, increasing our donor base at the same time becomes even more important. We would not be able to reach our goals without you. Thank you all for your support, and if you joined or donated to the museum through Direct Mail, thank you for taking a chance.

Kathryn Lewis is the Museum’s Membership Coordinator.

AN UPDATE FROM THE FOUNDATION Dear Members and Friends, I write this letter to you a week after I announced to the board and staff that I would retire at the end of this year. It was 16 years ago that I took the helm at the Museum of the Confederacy, and I used the phrase “to turn my avocation into my vocation.”

It has been a distinct pleasure to meet so many of you, to correspond with you, and to thank you for your devotion to our museum(s) — both the Museum of the Confederacy and, now, the American Civil War Museum.

I did a quick calculation to determine that I personally signed over 50,000 letters to you over that time, writing notes on most of them along with my signature.

In my retirement message to the board, I said, “One of my favorite things about this job is visiting with people from every corner of our country. Every day we welcome tourists of all ethnicities, creeds, religions, and backgrounds. We’ve given tours to guests from Baton Rouge to Bangladesh. We’ve shared the museum with school children in droves, government officials, and the descendants of slaves, sharecroppers, and Union and Confederate soldiers. Our museum has created a place for healing at a time in which our nation desperately needs to look at and learn from all the multiple perspectives of the Civil War.” I will miss that.

I would like also to give a shout out to three good friends that I have made along the way. The first is John Coski, our Historian. His knowledge, network, and concern for Civil War history is simply unparalleled. A joy of mine was sharing an office suite with him for most of my time here. We shared many hours (and late hours)

together — comparing notes, preparing presentations, discussing exhibits and programs. One of my first decisions was to work with John to replace a small semi-annual newsletter with this wonderful magazine, which distinguishes itself from all other Civil War related publications. It has never been about battles and leaders — it is about the artifacts in our collection. The letters and diaries, the uniforms and children’s items, the flags and weapons, and the White House itself — they all tell stories which we are uniquely qualified to tell.

Talking about the collection leads me to Robert Hancock, whose quiet demeanor and skillful hands have preserved and displayed this unsurpassed collection. We conducted a peer review in 2006, and the great team of reviewers made the strong statement that the board’s primary fiduciary responsibility was the preservation of the collection. The mission was important, but it could and would be changed with time, as indeed it has. But the collection should not change and must be preserved. Robert’s unflagging dedication to the collection has been an inspiration to me, and his knowledge has been the key to much research by outsiders and exhibits by our staff.

The final note of thanks goes to our Foundation Chairman Don King. Since our combination in 2013, no one has worked harder for this museum than Don. I have been on and worked with a lot of not-for-profit boards. I have never seen anyone else devote so much time and energy to the cause.

The challenge of presenting history in a way that is both moving and relevant is daunting. Without institutions like the one for which I have labored these last 16 years, I worry greatly about our future. Their continued presence gives me hope.

With great memories and respect, I will remain your most obedient servant,
