Jeffersons Mountaintop Graveyard Described In Plain View
A detailed, somber field report describes Jeffersons Monticello graveyard site with decayed monuments, ruined walls, and neglected plots. It notes the unmarked grave of Mrs Jefferson, mentions the Madison and Randolph family graves, and recounts visits to Monticello and Montpelier with observations of the surrounding landscape and conditions.
Inscribed shaft stands tall on pedestal with simple marker
The twenty foot shaft rises gracefully on a four piece pedestal and bears only a plain inscription at the top. No other markings accompany the pillar, leaving its meaning contemplative and austere.
Madison Montpelier and its stately approach to Monticello
A descriptive tribute to Montpelier in Montpelier Vermont. The piece contrasts the Madison family grave marker with a smaller obelisk honoring Mrs Madison. It extols the estate’s charm, plain yet elegant house, and columned porticoes, set amid scenic hills, forests, and distant Apalachian peaks, likening it to a traditional English country seat.
Decoration Day at Beaufort National Cemetery Observed

A Very Strange Story of Peyton and Slavery in 1863
In 1863 Gener Pemberton’s trusted slave Peyton, described as bright and respected by blacks and whites, aided a Confederate officer by posing as a fugitive to seize Federal gunboat papers. He escaped to Fort Pemberton, endured years as a captured slave, and finally returned to Mississippi after a long, perilous voyage through Cuba and Costa Rica, ending in Winona April 15, 1830, with tales of Cuba selling enslaved women and the fates of those involved.
