The deadly siege of the city, begun in June of 1864, dragged on during the winter of 1865 as both sides extended their line of entrenchments. Realizing that Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army was stretched to the breaking point, on the morning of April 2, 1865, Union General Ulysses S. Grant launched a massive assault designed to break through the Confederate entrenchments. After a day of fierce fighting, the capture of the key rebel position known as Fort Gregg doomed the entire Confederate position. Petersburg and Richmond were evacuated that very night.

Wikipedia Description: A. K. Smiley Public Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A. K. Smiley Public Library is a public library located at 125 W. Vine St. in Redlands, California. Built in 1898, the library was donated to Redlands by philanthropist Albert K. Smiley. Architect T. R. Griffith designed the library in a style which has alternately been described as Mission Revival and Moorish Revival and includes a variety of elements from additional styles. The building has a tile roof and parapets topping arcades on its sides, which suggest a Mission Revival influence; however, the battlement and the curves in the parapet are Moorish Revival elements. In addition, elements of the arches in the arcade, the windows, and the roof ridge were borrowed from classical, Gothic, Spanish Romanesque, and Oriental themens. The library still serves as the Redlands public library. In addition, it houses a collection of materials on native tribes in California donated by Andrew Carnegie, as well as a collection of rare materials about Southern California and local history.

The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976. It was designated a California Historical Landmark on August 17, 1990.

Located behind the Smiley Library is the Lincoln Shrine, the only memorial honoring the "Great Emancipator", the sixteenth president Abraham Lincoln, west of the Mississippi River.
Atlas Obscura Description: Lincoln Memorial Shrine
Redlands, California
The only museum and archive west of the Mississippi that is dedicated to the study of Abraham Lincoln.

Despite the fact that Abraham Lincoln never set foot in California, there exists, just 60 miles east of Los Angeles, a small museum focused on America’s 16th president and the war waged under his tenure to preserve our Union. The original building was a one-room octagon with a limestone exterior inscribed with quotes from Lincoln. It was gifted to the city in 1932 by Robert and Alma Watchorn, whose own story—and that of the shrine itself—is rather remarkable.
Robert Watchorn was born in England, in 1859. As a child, he worked grueling shifts for meager wages in a coal mine, then found himself doing the same work in America as a young adult. Watchorn helped end child labor in Pennsylvania and worked in immigration. In 1905, he was appointed Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island.
In 1909, Watchorn turned to oil and made his fortune with the Watchorn Oil and Gas Company. He and his wife Alma selected Redlands for their winter home. When the U.S. entered into the Great War, their son Emory Ewart Watchorn volunteered with the U.S. Army Air Service, while Robert and Alma supported the war effort from home. Ewart’s time as a pilot took a toll on his health. He made it home to California, but complications led to his death at the age of 25.
The bereaved parents envisioned the shrine as a way to honor their son’s memory, as both Robert and Ewart had admired President Lincoln. A decade after their son’s death, the Watchorns began bringing the shrine to life. It has since been expanded, with two new wings on either side of the original octagon. Surrounding it are picturesque fountains and patios and a recently dedicated cannon.
The centerpiece of the original octagon is a Carrara marble bust of Lincoln by American sculptor George Grey Barnard. The bust is framed in a well-lit archway with an excerpt from the Gettysb ...More...

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
