If you have questions or comments regarding the source material, please contact the Brandywine River Museum directly through either this phone number or web address: http://www.brandywinemuseum.org A Summer Idyll: Landscapes from the Brandywine Valley B randywine River Museum presents through September 2, 2002 a special exhibition of over 80 works of art that celebrate the region's countryside. A Summer Idyll: Landscapes of the Brandywine Valley honors generations of artists who have drawn inspiration from the area and simultaneously affirms the region's importance in the development of American art. Since the early 19th century, the Brandywine Valley has been famous for its rich farmland; numerous mills; distinctive architecture built by Quaker, Scots-Irish, and Swedish settlers; and its role in historic events. The focus of much of this activity has been the Brandywine River itself, stretching for 60 miles from the Welsh Mountains of northern Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware, where it joins with the Christina River before emptying into the Delaware River. Along its course, this picturesque stream rushes over rocky beds, flows quietly through wooded glens, and glides lazily through broad meadows. (left: N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945) cover illustration

63. Early Writers At Mammoth Cave The world traveler, Bayard Taylor (18251878), visited Mammoth Cavein May 1855. He was a realistic writer from Pennsylvania. Early http://kentuckyexplorer.com/nonmembers/00-05030.html

Early Writers Flocked To Mammoth Cave By Bob Thompson - 2000 More has been written about Mammoth Cave National Park than any other cave system in the world. Since the beginning of guided tours in 1816, the cave has hosted a number of prominent writers, doctors, surveyors, preachers, naturalists, and historians. The one thing they all had in common was the desire to see, learn, and write about the cave. Each individual penned personal and detailed accounts of the cave, which were published in books, magazines, and newspapers. One of the earliest accounts was by Dr. Robert Montgomery Bird (1806-1854) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bird came to Mammoth Cave in the summers of 1833 and 1835 and stayed at the Gatewood House. Mr. Gatewood, who owned the cave at the time, built a log house tavern about 100 yards from the cave's entrance (where the Mammoth Cave Hotel is today). Bird's description of Mammoth Cave was published in 1838 in the book, Peter Pilgrim, or A Rambler's Recollections. Quoting from his book, "The Mammoth Cave is still the monarch of caves. None that have ever been measured can at all compare with it. Even in extent, in grandeur; in wild, solemn, severe, unadorned majesty, it stands entirely alone. It has no brother; it is like no brother." A year before Peter Pilgrim, Bird also wrote about the 1780s settlement of Kentucky, in what is considered his best-known novel, Nick of the Woods. Bird complemented his literary career as a professor of medicine, an editor, a farmer, and a politician, as well as an accomplished artist. He actively made sketches and drawings of his travels of America (including Mammoth Cave) and Europe.

BLACK KINGDOMS OF THE NILE EPISODE By Timothy Kendall In the 1820s, the Western world was thrilled to hear news of the rediscovery of the monuments of ancient Nubia - or "Kush," as it was called in the Bible. The ruins, hundreds of miles south of Egypt in the Sudan, had been reported almost simultaneously by individual British, French, and American travellers, whose excited descriptions and glorious illustrations of temples and pyramid fields delighted scholars and reawakened interest in this mysterious African kingdom. Greek traditions told of Memnon, a legendary Nubian king who had fought in the Trojan War; they spoke of Nubia's people, who were the "tallest and handsomest on earth," and whose piety was so great that the gods preferred their offerings to those of all other men. They also knew that historical Nubian kings had once conquered Egypt and ruled it for sixty years and that their dynasty was counted as Egypt's Twenty-fifth. The Greeks, however, did not call these people "Nubians" or "Kushites," as we do today; they called them Aithiopes ("Ethiopians"), which in Greek meant "Burnt-Faced Ones." They knew perfectly well that Nubians were black-skinned, as are the Sudanese of the same regions today. During the 1840s, the great German egyptologist, Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) led an expedition to record the monuments of Egypt and Sudan for the King of Prussia. On his return, he asserted confidently that the Greek term "Ethiopian," when referring to the ancient civilized people of Kush, did not apply to "negroes," but was used to describe reddish-skinned people closely related to the Egyptians, who "belonged to the Caucasian race." Again, in 1852, when the American diplomat Bayard Taylor (1825-1878) visited Sudan and gazed upon the temple carvings of sumptuously clad gods and rulers with clearly African features, he also found it inconceivable that they could have been created by black-skinned Africans. Rather, he asserted, echoing Lepsius, they must have been created by Egyptians or by immigrants from India or Arabia, or, in any case, "by an offshoot ... of the race to which we belong."

Random House, 242 pages, M r. Mailer told one of his publisher's editors, "Novelists are supposed to look into the eye of the tiger," and certainly a life of Jesus related by Jesus himself is a daring enterprise. The result, however, is not particularly surprising. Mr. Mailer presents a good man, who does indeed hear divine instructions and advice, whose miracles are genuine (and also exhausting), and who loses his temper, contradicts himself, worries about the source of his power, and fears for the future of his people and the movement he has started. What is missing in this reasonable character is any hint of the magnetically persuasive preacher that Jesus must have been. Satan and Judas have considerably more energy, probably because Mr. Mailer had less Scripture and therefore more freedom in imagining them. One can hardly hold this against the author: Milton had similar trouble. Satan is a great scene stealer. Lawyerland by Lawrence Joseph.

Le buone promesse del XIX secolo Nel frattempo gli studi scientifici sui composti chimici della pianta presero a diffondersi e le sue applicazioni in medicina conoscono larga diffusione in tutta l'Europa, grazie soprattutto all'opera di O'Shaughnessy, come piu' sopra riportato. Nel 1840 il chimico Louis Aubert-Roche pubblico' uno studio sull'efficacia dell'hashish nel trattamento delle piaghe e della febbre tiroidea. Il medico J. J. Moreau de Tours, intuendone le potenzialita' curative nei malati di mente, lo sperimento' su stesso: "E' vera felicita' quel che l'hashish produce..." Queste ricerche porteranno alla nascita del famoso Club des Hachischins, fondato da Theophile Gautier nei locali dell'Hotel Pimodan, Ile Saint-Louis, Parigi. Il primo resoconto delle riunioni mensili dei membri del circolo- tra cui Andre' Dumas padre, Victor Hugo, Honore' de Balzac e Charles Baudelaire-venne pubblicato nel 1845 su La Presse. Da allora le successive opere di Gautier (Il Club dei Mangiatori di Hashish), Baudelaire (I Paradisi Artificiali) e Dumas (Il Conte di Monte Cristo) sui vari aspetti connessi agli effetti della sostanza acquistarono fama ed eco internazionali-diventando presto dei classici della letteratura moderna. Lo stesso accadde con Fitz Hugh Ludlow, intimo amico di Mark Twain, che nel 1855 scrisse un articolo sul tema in Putnam's Magazine e l'anno seguente pubblico' The Hasheesh Eater-primo classico statunitense su usi ed effetti dell'hashish.

[Classics] [Home] A SONG OF THE CAMP By Bayard Taylor "Give us a song " the soldiers cried, The outer trenches guarding, When the heated guns of the camp allied Grew weary of bombarding. The dark Redan, in silent scoff, Lay grim and threatening under; And the tawny mound of the Malakoff No longer belched its thunder. There was a pause. A guardsman said: "We storm the forts to-morrow; Sing while we may, another day Will bring enough of sorrow." They lay along the battery's side, Below the smoking cannon; Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde, And from the banks of Shannon. They sang of love, and not of fame; Forgot was Britain's glory; Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang "Annie Laurie." Voice after voice caught up the song, Until its tender passion Rose like an anthem, rich and strong, - Their battle-eve confession. Dear girl, her name he dared not speak, But, as the song grew louder, Something upon the soldier's cheek Washed off the strains of powder. Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunset's embers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers.

Birds, if of any size, can be modelled in like manner, and fishes are treated by a nearly identical process, being finally coloured as in a “ still life “ painting. To give a life-like representation, attention is also paid to artistic “mounting.” By this is meant the surrounding of specimens with appropriate accessories, and it is well exemplified by the work shown in the natural history museum at South Kensington, where, for example, birds are arranged as in a state of nature. The great American museums have extended a similar method to the mounting of even large mammals, whilst they have made bird groups naturally still more life-like by panoramic backgrounds and top and side lighting of the cases.
