 Title:  Annals of Henrico Parish  
 Published:  2003 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: The picturesque ruins of Jamestown mark the beginning of the Church in Virginia, in 1607. The history of Henrico Parish begins with the second established settlement in the colony. During the interregnum between the governorships of Lord De la War and Sir Thomas Gates, Sir Thomas Dale had acted as regent under the title of High Marshall of Virginia. On the arrival of Gates, Dale, by agreement, took advantage of the opportunity to carry out the cherished project of founding for himself a settlement. In the early part of September, 1611, at the head of 350 men, chiefly German laborers, he pushed up the river. He founded Henricopolis on the peninsula now insulated by Dutch Gap canal. Dale was almost a religious fanatic. He had named his new city in honor of Prince Henry, the eldest son of James I. After this prince's sudden death, Dale writes: "My glorious master is gone, that would have enamelled with his favors the labors I undertake for God's cause and his immortal honor. He was the great captain of our Israel; the hope to have builded up this heavenly new Jerusalem be interred, I think; the whole frame of this business fell into his grave." To the Vestry of St. John's Episcopal Church, Richmond, Va.: The following is the report of the committee: To the Friends of Old St. John's Church, Richmond, Va.: " `Sir,—I should, with great pleasure, oblige the Vestry, and particularly yourself, in granting them an acre to build their Church upon, but there are so many roads already through that land, that the damage to me would be great to have another of a mile long cut through it. I shall be very glad if you would please to think Richmond a proper place, and considering the great number of people that live below it, and would pay their devotions there, that would not care to go so much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable to most of the people; and if they will agree to have it there, I will give them two of the best lots, that are not taken up, and besides give them any pine timber they can find on that side of Shockoe Creek, and wood for burning of bricks into the bargain. I hope the Gent. of the Vestry will believe me a friend to the Church when I make them the offer, and that I am both theirs, sir, and, "I fhould, with great pleafure, oblige the Veftry, and particularly your felf, in granting them an Acre to build their Church upon, but there are fo many roads already through that Land, that the Damage to me would be too great to have another of a mile long cut thro' it. I fhould be very glad if you would pleafe to think Richmond a proper place, and confidering the great number of people that live below it, and would pay their Devotions there, that would not care to go fo much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable to moft of the people, and if they will agree to have it there, I will give them two of the beft lots, that are not taken up, and befides give them any Pine Timber they can find on that Side Shockoe Creek, and Wood for burning of Bricks into the bargain.

 Description: By GEORGE S. JACK This is to certify that Lieutenant C. C. Taliaferro was a member of Company "C," Captain Brad Brown, of the Battalion of Scouts, Guides, and Couriers, that was attached to the Headquarters of the Army of Northern Virginia, then under the command of General Robert E. Lee. He rendered faithful service as a scout and courier, often accompanying the General and members of his Staff on the field of battle, and was with me on the tenth day of May 1864, in the hottest of the fight on that day and the successful charge made by our troops to recover portion of our line seized on one side of what is known now as "Bloody Angle," near Spottsylvania Court House. He was wounded in the army that afternoon, but in due time returned to duty, and was paroled at Appomattox.

 Title:  Travels in the Interior of North America  
 Published:  2004

 Description: "New Orleans, June 6, 1838.—The southern parts of the United States, particularly Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana, are as healthy as can be wished; there has been no appearance of the yellow fever, and even at the Havannah only a few isolated cases have occurred. During the autumn, winter, and spring, the small-pox has carried off many victims among the Whites, and thousands of the Indians; but it has now wholly disappeared in the territory of the Union, in consequence of a general vaccination of persons of all ages. On the other hand, we have, from the trading posts on the western frontier of the Missouri, the most frightful accounts of the ravages of the small-pox among the Indians. The destroying angel has visited the unfortunate sons of the wilderness with terrors never before known, and has converted the extensive hunting grounds, as well as the peaceful settlements of those tribes, into desolate and boundless cemeteries. The number of the victims within a few months is estimated at 30,000, and the pestilence is still spreading. The warlike spirit which but lately animated the several Indian tribes, and but a few months ago gave reason to apprehend the breaking-out of a sanguinary war, is broken. The mighty warriors are now the prey of the greedy wolves of the prairie, and the few survivors, in mute despair, throw themselves on the pity of the Whites, who, however, can do but little to help them. The vast preparations for the protection of the western frontier are superfluous: another arm has undertaken the defence of the white inhabitants of the frontier; and the funereal torch, that lights the red man to his dreary grave, has become the auspicious star of the advancing settler, and of the roving trader of the white race. Voyages to North America are become everyday occurrences, and little more is to be related of them than that you met and saluted ships, had fine or stormy weather, and the like; here, therefore, we shall merely say that our party embarked at Helvoetsluys, on board an American ship, on the 17th of May, in the evening, and on the 24th saw Land's End, Cornwall, vanish in the misty distance, and bade farewell to Europe.
