Description of Pictures: This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War:
Join Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust as she speaks on her newest book, This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War. Faust’s book is an illuminating study of the American struggle to comprehend the meaning and practicalities of death in the face of the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War. It explores the impact of this enormous toll from every angle—material, political, intellectual and spiritual—and shows how the war victimized civilians through violence that extended beyond battlefields. A book signing will follow the program.
The speaker was introduced by Allen Weinstein, Archivist of the United States.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.

From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/08/us/08lincoln.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Happening Upon a Look at an Optimistic Lincoln By SARAH ABRUZZESE Published: June 8, 2007 WASHINGTON, June 7 -- It was a historian's dream: alone in dimly lighted stacks, leafing through hundreds of yellowed papers and stumbling across a document that clarifies a pivotal moment in United States history. "It was kind of a shock," said Trevor Plante, an archivist at the National Archives, about finding a letter written by Abraham Lincoln after the Union victory at Gettysburg. The note was dated July 7, 1863, just a few days after two Union victories that followed a string of humbling defeats. Lincoln wrote the note to Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck, the Union general in chief, pushing him to urge Maj. Gen. George G. Meade to capitalize on the Gettysburg victory and pursue retreating Confederate forces led by Gen. Robert E. Lee. "We have certain information that Vicksburg surrendered to General Grant on the 4th of July," the letter says. "Now, if Gen. Meade can complete his work so gloriously prosecuted thus far, by the litteral or substantial destruction of Lee's army, the rebellion will be over." Halleck forwarded the two sentences via telegram on July 7 from Washington to Meade at Gettysburg. The one-paragraph note has been quoted for years but until now it was not clear that the quotations were verbatim. The whereabouts of the original document was also a mystery. It turns out that it had been in the archives since 1938, merely one page among billions chronicling the nation's history. The letter is a primary document, the holy grail of sources for researchers, and puts to rest any thought that Halleck might have edited the letter, the archivists said. The letter shows Lincoln's short-lived optimism. He saw the possibility of an early end to the war disappear on July 14, 1863, as Lee's army escaped into Virginia. The discovery of the letter was made on May 14 as Mr. Plante prepared for the arrival of a film crew working on a Discovery Channel documentary about Gettysburg. Searching in a collection of Halleck's papers, Mr. Plante spotted the familiar signature. "I was looking for something else," said Mr. Plante, who specializes in military history. "Frankly, where I found it was in an obscure place," he said, adding, "I was seeing everyday stuff and turned the page, and there was a Lincoln document." The document was among papers, many of which were donated to the War Department, that have been accessible to the public since they were transferred to the archives from a Department of the Interior garage in 1938. For safekeeping, it will be photographed and stored in a vault. This is the most significant finding within the archival system since diaries of President Harry S. Truman were found in 2003, said the United States archivist, Allen Weinstein. "These discoveries remind us that history is a dynamic thing, new information will always come to light," Mr. Weinstein said.
