Natl Archives -- David Work ("Lincoln and His Generals"):

Description of Pictures: Lincoln and His Generals: Presented in partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Institute. David Work, professor of U.S. history at Texas A&M University in Doha, Qatar, will explore Lincoln's reasons for adopting a policy of appointing politicians to be generals. Work proposes that Lincoln used political generals to help create a national coalition to fight the Civil War; that their overall battlefield performance was not as bad as is often portrayed; and that Lincoln's policy was successful, as political generals made many important contributions to the war effort.
The speaker was introduced by Rodney Ross, Archivist, Center for Legislative Archives.

2007 photos: Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
