My Little Cousins and Guadalupe Miracle Tale
A fragmented noting mixes a poem about youth and joy with a lengthy account of the Mexican shrine at Guadalupe. It recounts Juan Diego’s vision of the Virgin, the church built on Tepeyac, and the famed painting. A reflective digression questions credulity while detailing relics, indulgences, and the shrine’s accoutrements alongside a colonial-era firearms anecdote.

Three Richmond brothers honored for 1812 service in three branches
The Richmond Republican chronicles three brothers who claimed bounty for 1812 war service. The elder, a former lieutenant and later captain in artillery, fought at Chippewa Erie Lundy’s Lane and earned double brevets under Generals Brown Gaines and Scott. The middle brother served nearly 45 years in the Navy, earning honors from battles for New Orleans to Monterey and Upper California actions. The youngest, still in school, was briefly drafted in 1814 as Virginia mobilization began for Norfolk defense.
