Описание: General Henry Lockwood of Delaware: Shipmate of Melville, Co-builder of the Naval Academy, Civil War Commander depicts the fascinating and accomplished life of a nineteenth-century Delaware favorite son, Brig. Gen. Henry Lockwood, who sailed aboard the U.S. Navy frigate United States, participating in Commodore Thomas ap Catesby Jones s seizure of Monterey from Mexico and figuring importantly in shipmate Herman Melville s novel White-Jacket. Later he was a co-builder of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. During the Civil War he pacified the slavery-bound Delmarva peninsula, and commanded a brigade at Gettysburg, the Maryland Heights at Harper s Ferry, the Middle Department/8th Corps, and a division at Cold Harbor. All these accomplishments occurred in the face of a tendency to stutter that afflicted him throughout his life. The book also notices family members such as son Lieut. James Lockwood, who died of starvation during the Greely polar expedition after having reached the furthest point north of any human; brother Navy Surgeon John Lockwood, whose essays in conjunction with Melville s White-Jacket were major factors in the outlawing of punitive flogging in the Navy; and son-in-law Adm. Charles Sigsbee, who was in command of the Maine when it blew up in Havana Harbor. Several pivotal events in Lockwood s life have unjustly led to his historical neglect. Lockwood finally receives his due in this book.

Описание: An edited volume devoted to the reception and reputation of Edinburgh’s premier Enlightenment portrait painter. Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is especially well known in Scotland as the portrait painter of members of the Scottish Enlightenment. However, outside Scotland, the artist rarely makes more than a fleeting appearance in survey books about portraiture. A review of the most recent exhibition devoted to the artist held in Edinburgh and London during 1997/8, noted that it wears the aspect of a closure rather than a new dawn’ in Raeburn studies, with the painter being shown ‘in solitary splendour’. This volume seeks to recover Raeburn from his artistic isolation by looking at his local and international reception and reputation, both in his lifetime and posthumously. It focuses as much on Edinburgh and Scotland as on metropolitan markets and cosmopolitan contexts. Previously unpublished archival material will be brought to light for the first time, especially from the Innes of Stow papers and the archives of the dukes of Hamilton. Key Features * 14 chapters each looking at different aspects of Raeburn's professional career * International scholars contributing to Raeburn studies for the first time * Interdisciplinary perspectives setting a new agenda for Raeburn studies * Traditional art analysis integrated with cultural, social, political and economic history * Includes much unpublished archival material KeywordsScotland, Raeburn, Enlightenment, portraiture, art, patronage, taste, collecting
The Promise Trail begins in the mid-1800s, with Henry Shanks being just sixteen. His curiosity of sidearms takes his interest in guns and their use even further. With the help of a few dime novels, Henry's mind was made up a bit before he turned fifteen. He worked several odd jobs to earn enough money to purchase the guns he longed for, a pair of guns that would mark him for life. His dedication to the guns and his ability to use them grew to a point of perfection almost daily until he was confident in himself and the guns. Time passed until he was ready to join the army and do his part for the confederacy. By the time he reached the rank of lieutenant, the war was over. He traveled west to find his mark and then met up with the judge who suggested he take jobs to help certain people out of trouble. Using his contact with the judge through the telegraph, Henry was able to move about as he pleased. He enjoyed his freedom after "the war" as he moved about the country side, meeting people good and bad in his travels.
