His preparatory education was received at Winchester Academy and at Episcopal High School (Alexandria, Virginia). He entered VMI in 1852 and graduated in 1856. He subsequently returned to the Winchester area where he was a farmer. Charles married Ellen Harvie Marshall of Fauquier County in 1859.

He died in Loudoun County, Virginia on February 18, 1924.","V.M.I. Sept. 28th 55. \nDear Joe","In the eloquent language of one of my roommates, Thank God Friday night has come again. You can't imagine with what deep interest I count the days as they come \u0026 go. I have a calendar on my ward robe door \u0026 the first thing after my return from reveille in the morning is to scratch off the preceding day \u0026 generally, I find my way back into bed pretty near as fast as I have to get out of it, although in direct opposition to the regulations of V.M.I. But from many years, I may say, of practice, I have become cute enough to dodge Spex, Gil \u0026 the other grand rascals.","I can assure you that I am heartily sick of the military, studies \u0026 everything else connected with the V.M.I. \u0026 I don't think I will touch a gun, book, or anything that bears any resemblance to them for some time after I leave here, that is if I ever do get away.","I have been here so long that I feel as if I had been living here all my life, \u0026 the idea of leaving it, perhaps never to return, seems almost impossible to believe.","I find the studies this years a great deal more interesting than they have been heretofore, with the exception of one single one, which so counterbalances the rest as to throw all the good part into the shade. We commenced studying engineering this year. I find the military engineering quite interesting \u0026 I hope I may find civil equally so, as it is the only thing I care knowing anything about.","The study I referred to just now was Optics, which from being so very difficult, \u0026 taught by such a hell of a fool, whose name is Jackson, has suggested the following lines,","The V.M.I. O What a spot \nIn winter cold, in summer hot \nGreat Lord Al- what a wonder \nMajor Jackson Hell \u0026 Thunder","I am afraid I have digressed too far, to refer to the reception of your letter which I can assure you was the most welcome one I have received for a long time. I'll swear I am almost ashamed [to] send off a letter like this full of evasions, mistakes \u0026, but I know you will excuse me when I tell you that I have my four roommates in a very exciting discussion, cursing \u0026 ripping so that I can hardly hear myself. In such a fuss as this I can hardly compose myself sufficiently to refer to that sweet note that has been ringing in my ears ever since its reception. Oh, how much I wished to be back at least for a day or two. It brought on quite a relapse as I felt like leaving the V.M.I. immediately. I felt nearly reconciled to stay this year out, but for three or four days I have not been able to open a book, I can't account for the reason. You asked me to burn up your letter. Of course you did not include that part or it, \u0026 even if you did I don't think I would grant your request. I carry it in my left pocket \u0026 have nearly worn it out already. I think I must send soon after an original copy. ","[End of letter appears on page 1]\nI reckon that name, which you did not want to mention in your letter, got in there after all, for the same reason as you gave I do not like to write it in mine. I believe at last it has been decided that we shall not go to Richmond. I did not care much about going, so I was not much disappointed. Write soon. Give love to all enquiring friends. I remain your affectionate cousin \nC.M.

Barton and and Frances (Fanny) Jones Barton, was born in Winchester, Virginia on November 30, 1836. His preparatory education was received at Winchester Academy and at Episcopal High School (Alexandria, Virginia). He entered VMI in 1852 and graduated in 1856. He subsequently returned to the Winchester area where he was a farmer. Charles married Ellen Harvie Marshall of Fauquier County in 1859.

He subsequently served in the 2nd Virginia Infantry and as a Staff Officer for Generals Elisha F. Paxton, James A. Walker, and William R. Terry.

You can't imagine with what deep interest I count the days as they come \u0026 go. I have a calendar on my ward robe door \u0026 the first thing after my return from reveille in the morning is to scratch off the preceding day \u0026 generally, I find my way back into bed pretty near as fast as I have to get out of it, although in direct opposition to the regulations of V.M.I. But from many years, I may say, of practice, I have become cute enough to dodge Spex, Gil \u0026 the other grand rascals.","I can assure you that I am heartily sick of the military, studies \u0026 everything else connected with the V.M.I. \u0026 I don't think I will touch a gun, book, or anything that bears any resemblance to them for some time after I leave here, that is if I ever do get away.","I have been here so long that I feel as if I had been living here all my life, \u0026 the idea of leaving it, perhaps never to return, seems almost impossible to believe.","I find the studies this years a great deal more interesting than they have been heretofore, with the exception of one single one, which so counterbalances the rest as to throw all the good part into the shade. We commenced studying engineering this year. I find the military engineering quite interesting \u0026 I hope I may find civil equally so, as it is the only thing I care knowing anything about.","The study I referred to just now was Optics, which from being so very difficult, \u0026 taught by such a hell of a fool, whose name is Jackson, has suggested the following lines,","The V.M.I. O What a spot \nIn winter cold, in summer hot \nGreat Lord Al- what a wonder \nMajor Jackson Hell \u0026 Thunder","I am afraid I have digressed too far, to refer to the reception of your letter which I can assure you was the most welcome one I have received for a long time. I'll swear I am almost ashamed [to] send off a letter like this full of evasions, mistakes \u0026, but I know you will excuse me when I tell you that I have my four roommates in a very exciting discussion, cursing \u0026 ripping so that I can hardly hear myself. In such a fuss as this I can hardly compose myself sufficiently to refer to that sweet note that has been ringing in my ears ever since its reception. Oh, how much I wished to be back at least for a day or two. It brought on quite a relapse as I felt like leaving the V.M.I. immediately. I felt nearly reconciled to stay this year out, but for three or four days I have not been able to open a book, I can't account for the reason. You asked me to burn up your letter. Of course you did not include that part or it, \u0026 even if you did I don't think I would grant your request. I carry it in my left pocket \u0026 have nearly worn it out already. I think I must send soon after an original copy. ","[End of letter appears on page 1]\nI reckon that name, which you did not want to mention in your letter, got in there after all, for the same reason as you gave I do not like to write it in mine. I believe at last it has been decided that we shall not go to Richmond. I did not care much about going, so I was not much disappointed. Write soon. Give love to all enquiring friends. I remain your affectionate cousin \nC.M.

The full title is \"Receuil des plus beaux vers François qui ont estes faicts à la louange du roy Louis le Grand avec quelques autres pièces melangées\".

The largest number of the poems were written to commemorate the victory of the French army during the seige of Namur.

The chansonnier  includes the lyrics but not the actual music for the songs, but always notes the tune to which it is sung.

Davidson, was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia in 1810. He graduated from Washington College (predecessor to Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Va. in 1828. After a stint as a teacher, Davidson began reading law and was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1831. He became a highly reputed country lawyer practicing for roughly forty years in Rockbridge. Davidson's  penchant for poetry and prose led to regular submissions of both local and regional newspapers. He explored may themes in his writings, and, being an influential citizen, his opinion pieces on such subjects as politics, family, and religion, flourished with satire, humor, and wit were popular. Davidson married Hannah McDowell Greenlee and together had seven children. Davidson was a Whig turned Democrat, owned slaves and opined against dissolution of the Union initially in 1861. His opinion shifted in favor of secession at the very end of Virginia's secession debate, at which point he devoted his time and attention to the war effort in which all five of his sons would serve - two of whom survived. After the Civil War, Davidson continued his law practice, wrote profusely, farmed, and influenced local and regional politics. Davidson was also a longtime trustee of Washington College. He died in 1882, survived by his two daughters Mary and Clara (Estill) and his wife Hannah.","This collection contains newspaper clippings of Dorman's poems, letters, and essays on various subjects published in the Lexington Gazette and other papers.","Folder one includes two small scrapbooks of clippings and bpoth are inscribed by Davidson.

After November 1862, he was a medical officer assigned to various commands. After the War, Arnold practiced medicine in Springfield, Missouri. He died there on August 18, 1902.","This collection consists of a poetry notebook compiled by William E. Arnold during the period between 1849 and 1864.
