He was appointed to West\n         Point in 1831 by President Jackson; after his graduation in\n         1835 he received a lieutenancy in the army in time to serve in\n         the Seminole War. The following year he resigned his\n         commission in order to study law at Transylvania University.\n         He settled in St. Louis, Missouri in 1837 and began practicing\n         law; he was appointed U. S. district attorney for Missouri but\n         removed for political reasons by President Tyler. He served as\n         mayor of St. Louis, 1842-1843, and as judge of the court of\n         common pleas, 1845-1849. He resigned in 1849 to resume his law\n         practice, and in 1852 moved to Maryland where he practiced law\n         chiefly before the Supreme Court of the United States. In\n         1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n         court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n         him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n         gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n         counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n         he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n         Harper's Ferry incident. He was appointed postmaster general\n         in 1861 by President Lincoln, and while in office, organized\n         the postal system for the army, introduced compulsory payment\n         of postage and free delivery in cities, improved the registry\n         system, established the railway post office, organized the\n         postal draft plan, stopped the franking privileges of\n         postmasters, and was instrumental in bringing about the Postal\n         Union Convention at Paris in 1863. After resigning from\n         Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n         He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n         the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n         enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n         returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n         (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n         September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933.

After graduating from Princeton\n         University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n         to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n         Louis. When the Mexican War began he enlisted in the army as a\n         private; following the war he returned to his practice in St.\n         Louis. He was elected to congress, and in 1857, spoke in favor\n         of colonizing the negroes of the United States in Central\n         America. Following the South Carolina secession convention, he\n         stressed the importance in preventing the seizure by state\n         authorities of the St. Louis arsenal, and became the head of\n         the military organization then formed, which occasionally\n         guarded the arsenal. As brigadier-general in the army, he\n         commanded a division in the Vicksburg campaign, led his troops\n         in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and\n         was at the head of the 17th corps during Sherman's campaigns\n         in 1864-1865.

He was appointed to West\n         Point in 1831 by President Jackson; after his graduation in\n         1835 he received a lieutenancy in the army in time to serve in\n         the Seminole War. The following year he resigned his\n         commission in order to study law at Transylvania University.\n         He settled in St. Louis, Missouri in 1837 and began practicing\n         law; he was appointed U.

He resigned in 1849 to resume his law\n         practice, and in 1852 moved to Maryland where he practiced law\n         chiefly before the Supreme Court of the United States. In\n         1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n         court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n         him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n         gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n         counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n         he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n         Harper's Ferry incident.

After resigning from\n         Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n         He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n         the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n         enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n         returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n         (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n         September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933.

After graduating from Princeton\n         University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n         to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n         Louis. When the Mexican War began he enlisted in the army as a\n         private; following the war he returned to his practice in St.\n         Louis. He was elected to congress, and in 1857, spoke in favor\n         of colonizing the negroes of the United States in Central\n         America.

He was appointed to West\n         Point in 1831 by President Jackson; after his graduation in\n         1835 he received a lieutenancy in the army in time to serve in\n         the Seminole War. The following year he resigned his\n         commission in order to study law at Transylvania University.\n         He settled in St. Louis, Missouri in 1837 and began practicing\n         law; he was appointed U.

He served as\n         mayor of St. Louis, 1842-1843, and as judge of the court of\n         common pleas, 1845-1849. He resigned in 1849 to resume his law\n         practice, and in 1852 moved to Maryland where he practiced law\n         chiefly before the Supreme Court of the United States. In\n         1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n         court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n         him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n         gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n         counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n         he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n         Harper's Ferry incident. He was appointed postmaster general\n         in 1861 by President Lincoln, and while in office, organized\n         the postal system for the army, introduced compulsory payment\n         of postage and free delivery in cities, improved the registry\n         system, established the railway post office, organized the\n         postal draft plan, stopped the franking privileges of\n         postmasters, and was instrumental in bringing about the Postal\n         Union Convention at Paris in 1863. After resigning from\n         Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n         He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n         the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n         enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n         returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n         (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n         September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933.

After graduating from Princeton\n         University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n         to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n         Louis. When the Mexican War began he enlisted in the army as a\n         private; following the war he returned to his practice in St.\n         Louis. He was elected to congress, and in 1857, spoke in favor\n         of colonizing the negroes of the United States in Central\n         America. Following the South Carolina secession convention, he\n         stressed the importance in preventing the seizure by state\n         authorities of the St. Louis arsenal, and became the head of\n         the military organization then formed, which occasionally\n         guarded the arsenal.

The tin advert sign was made in Philadelphia, PA.","The Charlottesville Woolen Mills factory was incorporated in 1868 by H.C. Marchant and was located in the southeastern part of Charlottesville, VA.","From the 1830s until it's seizure by the Confederate governement in 1861, the building operated as a combination wool, cotton, flour and lumber mill, and later also included a blacksmith's shop, corn mill, grist mill, plaster mill, and a store selling dry goods. During this time the land was sold a number of times until 1960, when the company was reorganized as the Charlottesville Manufacturing Company, with John A. Marchant, his son. Henry Clay Marchant, John Wood, H. L. Anderson, T. J. Wertenbaker, and John C. Patterson operating a joint stock company. The textile plant provided wool uniforms for the soldiers of the Confederacy during the Civil War. A second reorganization in 1964 made Henry Clay Marchant the sole owner. Following the destruction of the mill during the Civil War and after the war had ended, the factory was rebuilt, and, on December 18, 1868, Charlottesville Woolen Mills was chartered \"for the manufacture, purchase and sale of woolen, cotton, silk and other fabrics ...\"","The plant went on to provide high quality textiles used by Brooks Brothers clothiers, uniforms for the cadets of West Point, and police officers in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. At one point 90 percent of the country's military schools, including the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, purchased uniforms made here. Coffin makers in Atlanta and Burlington, N.C., also used the soft cloth to line caskets.","Charlottesvills Woolen Mills survived the Great Depression of the 1930s mainly because of its uniform contracts. It experienced its greatest prosperity manufacturing uniforms for soldiers during World War I and II. During the height of World War II a work force of about 400 people was producing 15,000 yards of uniform cloth a month.","In 1959 Charlottesville Woolen Mills was bought by Kent Manufacturing Company, of Philadelphia. The introduction of synthetic fabrics in the late 1950s led to a decrease in demand for wool. In 1962 Kent Manufacturing Company dissolved the Charlottesville Woolen Mills.","Sources:","Maurer, David. \"Woolen Mills wove a tight community.\" The Daily Progress, http://www.dailyprogress.com/lifestyles/woolen-mills-wove-a-tight-community/article_467a3534-5d1b-5f83-abdb-f1a170eb0396.html. 28 Aug. 2011.","Delesline, Nate. \"Historic Woolen Mills under contract for sale.\" The Daily Progress, http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/historic-woolen-mills-under-contract-for-sale/article_7512bd70-b082-11e3-9f64-0017a43b2370.html. 20 March 2014.","Dailty Progress Staff. \"Labor dispute at Woolen Mills leads to worker strike.\" The Daily Progress, http://www.dailyprogress.com/125yearsofprogress/labor-dispute-at-woolen-mills-leads-to-worker-strike/article_49c5dff0-ec7d-11e6-9604-4f40db426882.html. 6 Feb. 2017.","Gianniny, Jr., Allan, Compiler. \"Charlottesville Woolen Mills Chronology.\" Historic Woolen Mills, http://historicwoolenmills.org/chronology.html.

Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, viewed the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two likeminded women, each one from a different state, to be Vice Regents of the MVLA. Together they aimed to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the Mansion, gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858, he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000.","For the next few years, the women of the MVLA endeavored to make other Americans aware of their quest to save Mount Vernon, often via newspaper articles and pamphlets, in order to raise enough money to purchase the property. As Regent, Ann Pamela Cunningham spearheaded these efforts, while the Vice Regents oversaw fundraising in their individual states. Their cause was soon interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War.  Mount Vernon's contentious location between Union and Confederate boundaries made it very difficult for potential visitors to travel there.  In spite of these unfavorable conditions, the Ladies of the MVLA continued to raise money for the care of Mount Vernon, and hosted hundreds of visitors including Union and Confederate troops. The post-war period brought other challenges, but the MVLA always maintained constant care and security of the historic areas at Mount Vernon.","Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization in the United States dedicated solely to historic preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of George Washington's Mount Vernon, while also opening the estate to visitors 365 days a year. Members of the MVLA continue under the structure designed by the first women who joined, operating as the executive board of this historic home with one Regent and over twenty Vice Regents, each from a different state. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion, outbuildings, gardens, and tomb of Washington, but also a Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and education center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, a food pavilion, and a restaurant.","The nucleus of this collection was created from papers given to the Association by Ann Pamela Cunningham around the time of her retirement as Regent. Several other Vice Regents followed her example and later donated their papers as well. These records were referred to as the \"Early Records\" since the time they were first established as an archival collection. A large portion of this collection is correspondence concerning the founding of the MVLA and the operation of Mount Vernon as a historic site. Other important resources are the appeals written by Ann Pamela Cunningham and the Vice Regents, governing documents, subscription or donation lists, printed material or publications, and bound volumes such as ledgers or scrapbooks. Individual items were added to the collection as they were acquired. The Early Records includes items dated 1852-1951, however the bulk of the material dates from 1858 to around 1880.","Material can be reproduced for study or personal use upon written approval from library staff.","Archives of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association","Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union","Harper \u0026 Brothers","Cunningham, Ann Pamela, 1816-1875","Comegys, Margaret Douglass, 1816-1888","Tracy, Sarah, 1820-1896","Laughton, Lily Macalester Berghmans, 1832-1891","Chace, Abby Wheaton Pearce","Jeffrey, Rosa Vertner, 1828-1894","Hudson, Susan Edwards Johnson, 1825-1913","Everett, Edward, 1794-1865","McWillie, Catherine Anderson, 1812-1873","Washington, John Augustine, III, 1821-1861","Morse, Margaretta Wederstrandt, 1816-1893","Greenough, Louisa Ingersoll, 1813-1891","Brown, David Paul, 1795-1872","Cutts, Mary Pepperell Sparhawk Jarvis, 1809-1879","Eve, Philoclea Edgeworth Casey, 1813-1889","Riggs, Janet Shedden, 1815-1871","Tiffey, S.W.","Craig, James Y., 1839-1926","Hollingsworth, John McHenry, 1823-1889","Halsted, Nancy Marsh, 1817-1891","Scott, Winfield, 1786-1866","McClellan, George B.

The purpose of the MVLA was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to patriots and admirers who wanted to visit Washington's home and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, viewed the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two likeminded women, each one from a different state, to be Vice Regents of the MVLA. Together they aimed to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the Mansion, gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase.
