perhaps 1,000 Indians at the close of the eleventh century, A.D.*
*See plate 1, "Pueblo Bonito from the Air." Richard Wetherill's dam is
shown in front of and to the right of the ruin; his combined residence and store,
at the left corner. At the right margin, the road crosses the 1928 bridge, curves
past the site of the National Geographic Society's camp and two abandoned
corrals, to end at the black-roofed building that was the Hyde Expedition's
boardinghouse. Dimly seen below the latter, the old freight road descends to
cross the arroyo, passes a small ruin on the shadowed arroyo edge, and turns
southward. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

suspence and from tremors. At length
the drama is brought to an imperfect
close, and the series of events, that absorbed
my faculties, that hurried away
my attention, has terminated in repose. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

morning than this? Rain, rain nothing but rain and has been so for nearly a
week. Don't you pity the school teachers such a day as this? Here have I
walked nearly half a mile through the rain and much before eight
o'clock, and after building a fire to make it appear more cheerful have
gone to writing. But what are my inconveniences when compared with the
soldiers. Here I find a dry and pleasant school-room to enter and although
they are not now here, there soon will be happy faces hurrying to receive
their teachers morning kiss. and then follows the pleasant hours
to be spent in learning and reciting lessons. While with the soldier,
how different. Perhaps for their employment is a long and tedious march
through the storm with no covering, to be welcomed only with a cry of
revenge and maybe death. Really my labors
are but light. and how much nobler is the cause in which they are engaged
than is mine. But you will be anxious to hear how my school is
prospering. I think it "goes of" finely. Not quite as well as I could wish
(for you know we are prone to wish more than can be expected sometimes) but
full as well and perhaps better than I expected. Thirty scholars attend
now. they are from four to seventeen years of age. Have I ever told you
the branches that are studied? They are reading writing. Arithme -tic. parts 2
nd
and 3
rd
Ray's. Mitchells Geography, Pinneo's
Grammar, and Ray's Algebra1. also Orthography. Now do you not think I
have a school? I do. There. I told you they would
come. one. two three four five - all coming to say good morning. and the
girls to receive the kiss which I had to stop writing long enough
to give them. I would that you could see them, darling, one little boy
wishes me to stop writing and talk to him, shall I do it? I know you
would say yes, dear Charlie. were you here so I will gratify him | | | Similar Items: | Find |

quite despondent. as so long a time had passed since having from you. I and
my anxiety was still more increased when I read a letter from
GCalhi
. I knew by the why his question. "Have you heard from
Charlie lately" was asked. That he too had not heard from you for some
time. But the missin has at last come. How
thoughtful I was for it dearest. I am very nervous this morning as I have
walked more than a mile. I did not think you ungrateful. I knew you
were constantly on the move and attributed your silence to that yet.
Let us frame what excuses I would at times I was very lonely. Often
I would picture you as on the march, weary
and oppressed with burdens, when I
would sigh and wonder that I would not hear some of the fatigues of
your duty. Darling, if I would become yours at
the class of my school, would you later on with you to share your
bridals? But what an absurd question. I know that I would only be a
kinderance to you and therefore I meant be contented
where I now am, it is very hard thing to talk about contentment when
the one I love is many miles away uncaring all
his life in the service of his country. Contentment! let those who
know not the meaning of love, and who have no friend for which I
waited and pray talk of contentment! I can not be contented. Let me
say ever so hard, I do not wonder at your indignation. I too was very
indignant when I read
that
the rebels had again entered Winchester.
The place where you suffered so much. Well these will sometimes be
never seen in war as well as any other
Island. Cowards! indeed what a shame. If
after marching day after day. your and being compell ed to stop through exhaustion if such
are ed cowards. Then darling I am thankful that you are a coward. Yes,
darling. I do wonder that you blush at the thoughts. If this makes you
a coward. I am proud of and a coward. I
had feared that your health would fail. but no wonder
you have been through enough within the past years to war and any
constituition. I am very sorry for
Will Braden. How I would like to be with the
sick soldiers. I believe I could do some good these. I think it a
shame to our government that our sick soldiers are so neglected. Does
Sam expect his men to fight if they are not
cared for
three months seems a long time to wait so tortured with
fear and anxiety as I at time am, but I will try and wait patiently trusting in. Him who doth
all things well
I asked Dora last eve if she would write to you
but (obstinate little thing that she is, she refuses. I do not know
the reason. What a question you asked me If "I would be willing to my
most intimate friend write to my Charlie. Why should I and; She is a dear little friend and I
love her as a sister. You will too when you become acquainted with
her. Dear Charley, "1 st of July"
is almost here do you think you will be here on that day? She seldom
asked me to day if I should teach on that memorable day. I did not
till thin bul- in all probability you are here I should. What
think you of that do you not see how much depends upon your coming!
Oh, fri! why do I jest about that subject more very much more depends
upon it than one day school. I am confident that many happy hours do,
at least. So you have been to
Manassas Junction
have you. Did you imagine you saw a bird furnished brings
flying as they did at the fights? I should have to visit Mrs. Washington's grave. We have shocking
accounts of the mutilation of her monument by the rebels.1 Is it true? It is almost school time dear and I will
write some more this evening I do not feel very well to day. I feel
vivid and warm and- perhaphs I read too much but I am very much
interested in Good rich's
Universal History which I am now read- ing and can hardly
find time to sleep
Mrs. Seski told me one day that she would not
let me take a light to my room if I did not cease reading so much.
Kind was it not? But I begin to think she is right. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Charlie
is not an actor there among the scenes of strife and blood. But how many are
there engaged. They may not all be Charlies, but they
are probably somebody's father husband, friend or brother, fighting
desperately for
Union and Liberty, and how many torn and bleeding hearts will there be when the names of those who have fallen a sacrifice to foul,
wicked treason are recorded. Yet I have no proof that you are not there. All I
know is your allusion to the probability of the 1st Brigade remaining
atin
Harpers Ferry during the winter, and that you were
(there)
in the Pro. Marshall's office. But then your last
letter was written long ago - nov. 25th and many
changes may have taken place with the 7th Ohio, and - with my darling, since then. I
am truly sorry that you are in a position where you can not write oftener to your Addie for it is a source of great
anxiety to me that I do not oftener hear from you, but I have so often told you this
that it is useless repeating it. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Mecca to be "Addie" no longer, but
Mistress1. To leave
"Maple Grove", Papa, Laurie, and Auntie (to say nothing of the rest.) and
install yourself as head of a large school, to "teach the young scholars how to
shoot". I fancy I see you just ringing the first bell; then as that strange motley
crowd gathers in and by pairs sort themselves, and then then as you tap the bell to
secure order. I seem to see you look around as if seeking if some
friend were there. Did I hear aright? Methought I heard a
chapter from the Bible by way of introduction. Then I heard that silvery voice -
perhaps at first tremblingly - addressing the school in accents of kindness saying you will love and wish to be loved. Do not fear,
my love. I have been in the same place. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Spetember 1862 | | | | Published: | 2005 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | At last, I have a chance to write a few lines,with a hope that it will soon reach you. I
wrote you a good long letter from Culpepper on the 18th of August, but as we left
there that day, I supposed it has never been sent. On the 20th, an order was recieved from Gen.
Halleck forbidding the further transmission of mails, and until now I have had no opportunity
to send a line to apprise you of my safety. I know how you must suffer, and how thoughless you
must think me, but all I can plead is the inexorable character of military orders. I have much
to write you as soon as we can remain 24 hours in a place. Since the 18th, we have been
constantly under arms and for more than 3/4 of the time under fire from the enemy, but we have
not lost a man. I have kept a full journal of all our proceedings, which I shall send to the
Chronicle for publication, as soon as I can. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
