He graduated from West Point in the class of 1845, and won the brevets of 1st lieutenant and captain during the Mexican War. Early in 1861, Stone, under orders from General Winfield Scott, served as inspector general of the District of Columbia and secured the capital and the personal safety of President elect Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln came to trust Stone implicitly. He commanded a brigade during the 1st battle of Bull Run, and a division at Ball's Bluff. Made a scapegoat for the Union debacle at Ball's Bluff, the Radicals in Congress who already disliked Stone because of his views on slavery, clammered for his removal. On Feb. 8, 1862, at midnight, without charges being then or ever preferred, Stone was arrested and subsequently confined for 189 days in Forts Lafayette and Hamilton. He was grudingly released on August 6th without reparation or even acknowledgement of error. Later requested by General Nathaniel P.

Tyler commanded a brigade of Gibbon's division, 2nd corps at Spotsylvania, and at Cold Harbor he was cited for great gallantry and was struck in the ankle by a ball which not only lamed him permanently but brought about his death a decade later.

Bradley, Meredith Square, Delaware Co., N.Y. <b><u>In the field, Va., Nov. 26th, 1864</b></u> Dear Ruth, As my thoughts are almost constantly upon you when not occupied by my daily duties, I feel it a relief to unburden them by the aid of the pen. I fancy I can see you now this very afternoon sitting by the fire reading while Emily is sitting on your lap, or standing by your side bothering you. Your Ma is smoking & your Pa is either reading some war or political news, or thinking of the uncommon large price Abe got for his butter. How I wish I could drop in upon you suddenly & surprise you. It seems almost an age since I was at your house, and when I think that over eight long months must pass before I can again greet you in person it makes me almost melancholy. Your kind letter of the 18th was duly rec’d and I have read it over & over again. Oh! Ruth! The sentiments you express give me the assurance that I have indeed something to exert myself for your love is the star of my hope, and though I should doubtless feel happier to be near you, yet my confidence in your unalterable affection gives me a refreshing ease of mind that enables me to attend to my duties with a will. I do not think of getting another furlough while my time is out. You will please excuse this poor writing for I have got the rheumatism so bad that I can scarcely write at all. Give my love to your Pa & Ma and be assured that you have my whole heart. I remain yours with the truest affection. James M. Williams [to] Ruth L. Bradley P.S.

Virginia fought the Federal Ironclad U.S.S. Monitor, in the first ever duel between ironclad warships, on March 9, 1862, at Hampton Roads, Virginia The CSS Virginia was the first steam-powered ironclad warship of the Confederate States Navy, built during the first year of the American Civil War; she was constructed as a casemate ironclad using the raised and cut down hull of the scuttled USS Merrimack. Virginia was one of the participants in the Battle of Hampton Roads, opposing the Union's USS Monitor in March, 1862. The battle is chiefly significant in naval history as the first battle between ironclads. Prior to that encounter on March 9th, the Virginia had sunk the Cumberland and the Congress on the previous day before the arrival of the Monitor. The fight between the two ironclads was basically a draw and the Virginia moved back into her port. With the capture of Norfolk, her Captain Catesby ap Roger Jones was ordered to destroy her rather than allow her to be captured which he did on May 11th, 1862 after her guns had been removed for future use. Starting around 1883, numerous souvenirs, made from recently salvaged iron and wood raised from Virginia's sunken hulk, found a ready and willing market among eastern seaboard residents who remembered the historic first battle between ironclads. Known examples still exist today, being held in both public and private collections, rarely coming up for public auction. The specimen of wood from the Virginia in this display came from an old collection of relics including those of the Virginia. 11 x 14, double matted in gray and red.

4 pages, 5 x 8, in pencil written by Samuel Lodge. <b><u>Halt in the field near Warrenton, Va., July 25, 1863, Saturday, 5 P.M.</b></u> My Dear Mosher, We arrived here after one of the most disturbing marches I ever have experienced. Since I wrote you last we marched to White Plains, a very hot & dusty tramp. We remained there about a day & left as a rear guard to the Sixth Corps wagons last night. We marched all night & are now halting along the road where we have been for two hours waiting for the balance of our brigade to come up, who are in the rear. I think we will have some rest & some chance to recuperate our exhausted condition before we resume any active service, unless the latter is forced upon us. I wrote to Maggie & sent the letter by Capt. Moss. I wrote the other day, but do not suppose the letter will reach you before this letter, as I expect they will all be mailed at the same time. I have written in full lately specifying my numerous pressing wants. Please have them attended to & get them forwarded by every means in your power. Try Capt. Moss, Sergt. West & Corporal Lare. I have given you the address of West & Lare & if you have them not, you can get them from Capt. Moss, the pistol & belt by Sergt. West & the repaired sword & scabbard by Corp. Lare. I wish you would get from Taylor, Druggist, Chestnut at 10th, 5 bottles of cholera pills price $1 & send them by Lare. In regard to the pistol, the price $16 included I think 100 or 50 rounds of cartridges & some tools. You may get these & keep them for me. I do not want them now. I am terribly hard up for money having not received any from home as yet. We have not had a mail for over two weeks, but expect I will have quite a batch when it does come. I have written at different times for two outer shirts & a pair of drawers & some knit stockings, pocket knife, small pair of scissors, two small compasses, a war map, &c. Sunday, 10 A.M. in camp: Today I intend writing to M in Exchange Place, below Chestnut, in reference to two pair of boots that I have recently bought of him, both pair having turned out miserably. Paul can go down & ask him if he got my letter & find out what he says. If he should make me a pair you can try & send them to me by any opportunity. I am not particularly in want of them at present. I might be able to get a pair of Govt. shoes, but in these days of delay & mismangement in Quartermaster & Commissary Dept. it is a wonder half the army is not without clothes or half starved to death....and an officer is dependent upon the whims of the Commissary to get his supplies and then in the infantry, for instance in our case, always the stock comprises nothing but hard tack, coffee & sugar. This is what I have lived on for ten days past & fighting & marching for your country under such circumstances in such warm weather as this. Bro. Sam Light age toning and wear. Samuel D. Lodge, enlisted as a private on August 15, 1862, and was mustered into Co. D, 119th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was mustered out of service on June 19, 1865.

<b>U.S. Senator From Massachusetts</b> (1811-74) After graduating from Harvard, he became a lawyer. A staunch abolitionist, he was violently opposed to the extension of slave territory, and was elected Senator in 1851 on this ticket. In 1856 he delivered an invective laden speech called "The Crime Against Kansas" in which he insulted a South Carolina senator who was not present. Two days later, Representative Preston Brooks, of S.C., a relative of the reviled man, attacked Sumner viciously with a cane. Sumner did not recover for three years, although he continued to hold his Senate seat. After secession he refused to let the Senate consider a compromise between the sections and constantly urged emancipation and equal rights for negroes. He was one of the people in the room when President Lincoln died. Although he had supported Lincoln, he was one of the leaders in the impeachment proceedings against President Andrew Johnson.
