this particular drum i believe is from antietam. many of these things were donated to the park service, and in some cases they were in really beautiful condition, and some cases they were donated in rather rough condition, but in the past many of our parks would accept donations. they were donated and they wanted to be gracious and accept these objects on behalf of the american people. as can you see, some are in really beautiful condition and some are in not such great condition. this is a nice statue of stephen douglass, from the famous lincoln/douglass debates. one of the difficulties we have with storage is objects are in varying sizes and shapes, and at one point we hoped to put all the things from arlington house in one location, but as it turned out from an organizational standpoint it became a little easier for us to just do things by basic form and shape so we have -- obviously we have a large collection of chairs, and the chairs are all in one location. and although maybe some of these objects don't look like they are "ant

yes, we know that the civil war was dramatically played out at bull run and antietam, in vicksburg and petersburg, but i would suggest that from kitchens to courtrooms, from porches to pedestals, american women renewed their battles afterward, -- afterward. their stories remain overshadowed by diplomats. women were romanticized. they were eulogized as descendents of scarlet o'hara, garnering the lion's share of attention. commemoration became a female preoccupation in post-civil war america, raised into an art form by groups such as the udc, and we will be hearing from caroline, so i won't dwell on that, but recovery and rediscovery are the watchwords of an era of exploding interest, expanding resources, renewed intellectual energy, and i predict our new, even more robust era of reconstruction studies will not just remember the ladies as an earlier generation admonished, but will bring up from the footnotes and into the text the story of women. certainly a generation of scholars today is exploring the household lore. new editions of postwar voices have poured forth from university pres
