Download or read book A Memorial to Washington the Mason to Be Erected at Alexandria Virginia Classic Reprint written by Charles Hilliard Callahan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial to Washington the Mason, to Be Erected at Alexandria, Virginia On February 25, 1783, was held the first regular communication of the first Masonic Lodge in this city, instituted by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania; it was known as No.39 of that Jurisdiction. General Washington was elected an honorary member shortly after his return from the Revolution and his fondness for the old institution is evidenced by a letter written to the Lodge (see page 13 of this prospectus). After the surrender of the Pennsylvania warrant, application for a new charter was made to the Grand Lodge of Virginia and General Washington became first or charter Master of Alexandria Lodge, No.22, A. F.A. M., in 1788, and was subsequently elected to succeed himself, serving in all about twenty months. The instrument containing his name as Master, signed by Edmund Randolph, Governor of the Commonwealth and Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, is still its badge of authority, still hangs on its wall in silent testimony of the love and loyalty of Washington and Randolph for the noble tenets of our institution. Space will not permit us to even refer to many of the Washington relics in possession of this Lodge. We must content ourselves with brief description of the most interesting and important. The picture on the opposite page gives the east view of the old Lodge and shows only the Washington Chair, old desks, altar, lesser lights and the Williams picture of General Washington in Masonic regalia. Fabulous prices have been offered for many of these relics, but presented, as they were, by the relatives and friends of our first Master, the Lodge has rightly refused to even consider the most flattering inducements, preferring to keep them where they were intended to be kept by the donors, for the pride and glory of the fraternity. The old records, kept now in the vaults of the Citizens National Bank, are virtually an unbroken chain of historic Masonic vents, from 1783 to the present time, stretching over the whole period of our national existence and beyond. Time-faded and worn, they have come down to us with the old charter, through all the civil and military vicissitudes of over a century and a quarter, telling the story of the loyal to the Craft in the long ago. Vandal hands have entered now and then to pilfer a name or despoil a page from this dusty treasure, but the vigilant watch of a faithful guard has preserved intact the simple narratives of the most momentous occasions in the history of American Masonry. We read the fading lines, terse pictures of mighty events, and pause to contemplate the passing scene. Through the deepening twilight of bygone years, we see our fathers fix the boundary line and lay the tablet that marks the Nations home. We read again and again the simple story of the funeral service and hear whispered from the olden time the last words spoken oer the bier of Washington, So mote it be. Amen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to Virgina documents the vital role the Old Dominion played in the history of the first 150 years of the United States and before. It is packed with historical information, particularly from the Colonial and Revolutionary years, and supplemented with photos of historic buildings and sites. Also worth note are the artistic photographs of the state’s ordinary people and its natural beauty, including the Shenandoah and Chesapeake Bay regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A business biography of George Washington, focusing on his many innovations and inventions. George Washington: general, statesman...businessman? Most people don't know that Washington was one of the country's first true entrepreneurs, responsible for innovations in several industries. In George Washington, Entrepreneur, John Berlau presents a fresh, surprising take on our forefather's business pursuits. History has depicted Washington as a gifted general and political pragmatist, not an intellectual heavyweight. But he was a patron of inventors and inveterate tinkerer, and just as intelligent as Jefferson or Franklin. His library was filled with books on agriculture, history, and philosophy. He was the first to breed horses with donkeys to produce the American mule. On his estate, he grew countless varieties of trees and built a greenhouse full of exotic fruits, herbs, and plants. Unlike his Virginia neighbors who remained wedded to tobacco, Washington planted seven types of wheat. His state-of-the-art mill produced flour which he exported to Europe in sacks stamped "G. Washington"—one of the very first branded food products. Mount Vernon was also home to a distillery and became one of the largest American whiskey producers of the era. Berlau's portrait of Washington, drawn in large part from his journals and extensive correspondence, presents a side of him we haven't seen before. It is sure to delight readers of presidential biography and business history.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
