Book Description
The Smithsonian Institution is America's largest, most important, and most beloved repository for the objects that define our common heritage. Now Under Secretary for Art, History, and Culture Richard Kurin, aided by a team of top Smithsonian curators and scholars, has assembled a literary exhibition of 101 objects from across the Smithsonian's museums that together offer a marvelous new perspective on the history of the United States. Ranging from the earliest years of the pre-Columbian continent to the digital age, and from the American Revolution to Vietnam, each entry pairs the fascinating history surrounding each object with the story of its creation or discovery and the place it has come to occupy in our national memory. Kurin sheds remarkable new light on objects we think we know well, from Lincoln's hat to Dorothy's ruby slippers and Julia Child's kitchen, including the often astonishing tales of how each made its way into the collections of the Smithsonian. Other objects will be eye-opening new discoveries for many, but no less evocative of the most poignant and important moments of the American experience. Some objects, such as Harriet Tubman's hymnal, Sitting Bull's ledger, Cesar Chavez's union jacket, and the Enola Gay bomber, tell difficult stories from the nation's history, and inspire controversies when exhibited at the Smithsonian. Others, from George Washington's sword to the space shuttle Discovery, celebrate the richness and vitality of the American spirit. In Kurin's hands, each object comes to vivid life, providing a tactile connection to American history. Beautifully designed and illustrated with color photographs throughout, The Smithsonian's History of America in 101 Objects is a rich and fascinating journey through America's collective memory, and a beautiful object in its own right.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884. Excerpt: ... to rectify the error in their testimony for defendants. Their depositions for complainants will be found as follows: --Christian I. Heisley (p. 1791), Peter J. Heisley (p. 1801), Joseph F. Heisley (p. 1832), Philip H. Heisley (p. 1863), rejoinder. These gentlemen nll testify that their former statements in defendants' surrcbuttal that the second use of the Kellar auger at their farm was in the spring of 1875 was an error into which they fell for the want of data to guide their recollections, and that the true date of that second use was the spring of 1876. In addition to these members of the family who had testified for defendants, others who had not so testified, to wit, Mrs. Margaret Heisley, p. 1806; Charles Heisley, p. 1809; William Heisley, p. 1810, complainants' rejoinder, likewise testify to the spring of 1876. In addition to this, Calvin J. Dick (p. 2309, complainants' rejoinder) testifies to personal knowledge of the fact that the Heisleys were boring wooden pipe on their farm in the spring of 1876, and gives perfectly satisfactory reasons for his statement as to the time. See also, George R. Myers, p. 1866, complainant's rejoinder. This very completely destroys the first link in defendants' chain of proof, or seeming proof, and necessarily takes with it also the second link. This second link consisted of the testimony of Leonard Schwartz, p. 682, and David Cowens, p. 695, surrbtl. These gentlemen were neighbors of Mr. Kissinger while he lived on the Draper farm, and the substance of their testimony for defendants is that in the spring of 1875 Mr. Cowens had occasion to lay pipe from his spring to his spring house, and, in considering the question as to what sort of pipe he should use, went to Mr. Kissinger's to see him boring his wooden pipe, and...
