<p>Dear sister Lottie<br /> a little note to remind you that<br /> I have not forgotten your birthday<br /> I am so glad to see you looking<br /> well and we wish you many happy<br /> birthdays to follow. We were glad<br /> to have had the little visit with<br /> you and your family. So glad to<br /> have seen Harry again and also<br /> to meet his wife. She seemed very<br /> pleasant and interesting. Gill(?) and <br /> Verma(?) are such worth while young<br /> people. We hope that the elements<br /> will not dry them out this coming<br /> year but give them Nebraska in <br /> general an abundant crop.<br /> we too feel very much warmed over<br /> -------------------------</p>
<p>the condition of Josephine's little girl<br /> and hope that the will be marked im-<br /> provement when we hear again.<br /> Lottie I talked with our (?)est Supervisor<br /> in our schools about having copies<br /> of mothers picture made – She knows the<br /> picture well. Thinks there is noone<br /> here now who could do it. There was<br /> but she has gone. She told megapho-<br /> tographes who might be able to do it<br /> I will see him soon – and let you know<br /> what he has today. A few years ago<br /> before the old home burned Ray Reas(?)<br /> took a Kodac picture of it I asked him<br /> when we were there in June to get it<br /> for me. He kept neglecting it and only<br /> got it two or three days before it (?)</p>
<p>which I think was in September. I thought<br /> it was Pioneer History, Built before<br /> the Burlington R R came into Nebr.<br /> The Stage coach stopped there to lease and<br /> ----------------</p>
<p>take mail on their route. Freighters<br /> from Nebr City and Plattsmouth on<br /> the trail to Denver passed by long<br /> (?) (?) Mr Knowles held<br /> services there every other week on Sun<br /> afternoon and as I have said to our<br /> children – it was "Community<br /> Centre" without being named such<br /> Rays Kodac was very small but you<br /> can have the picture made larger<br /> if you wish. Lulu(?) had one made for<br /> one 7x5 inches. It is a very good picture<br /> if you would like to have a picture of<br /> the old house I will send you the <br /> film. I am enclosing the one Ray had<br /> finished. Theo thinks mine is 8x5 inches<br /> I went into the house but not upstairs<br /> Some changes which were an improve<br /> ment. You were in California then<br /> ------------------</p>
<p>your visits have been so short that<br /> we did not have time to think of<br /> nor talk of our doingo(?) . You must<br /> come when you can stay long<br /> enough that we will get caught up<br /> on our visiting. I am enclosing<br /> the picture of the old home that Ray<br /> had finished. The larger one that Lulu(?)</p>
<p>Had made for me shows up better.<br /> We hope that you have a comfortable<br /> winter and keep well.</p>

<p>Dear Sister,<br /> I have intended writing you<br /> for some time in regard to the <br /> old home. But have had a<br /> slight cold and felt rather<br /> (?)less. Then as you know I<br /> have so much writing to do that<br /> some of it is pushed back for lack<br /> of time. I do not re-member just<br /> what I wrote you – But the Burlington<br /> (C-B-rd-) crossed with Nebr at Platto<br /> (?) in July 1869. And then then pushed<br /> on to Ashland and Lincoln. We were<br /> living in the house. Then I can re<br /> member that a number of the men<br /> used to come to our house for food<br /> we cooked and ate in the basement<br /> ---------------------------</p>
<p>and slept I think on first floor you<br /> may re-member that the rooms were<br /> furnished by peace-meal and the room<br /> intended for our parlor not finished<br /> until J-M took the place over. The <br /> Congregational church was organized in<br /> Ashland in may 1871 So that<br /> I presume Rev (?) Knowles only preached<br /> from the time we moved in until then<br /> Rev Ara Farnell (?) you will remember was<br /> the first pastor at Ashland for the Con-<br /> gregational church. The (?) (?) that<br /> did not pass our place. But the freight-<br /> ers going from Nebr City and Plattsmouth<br /> to Denver and other points west. I will<br /> keep on making inquiry in regards<br /> copy of mothers picture. If you want to <br /> write G.G. I think a letter to Siux Falls<br /> would be forwarded. Keep well-<br /> Dearest love<br /> Theodore and Anna</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
"John A. Logan in 1859" Chromolithograph
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This lithograph comes from Grace Emmett and Mary Ann Hessenflow's collection. Originally printed by the <em>Puck</em> magazine in 1884 and framed in Roberts's family in 1938, it alludes to the pre-Civil war debates on whether the North should continue to acknowledge the slavery in the South and not prevent its spread into the Western territories or support the rights of the free labor.</p>
<p>John A. Logan, portrayed in center of the lithograph holding a paper that says "No Interference with Slave-Hunters!" was a Democratic representative from Illinois in 1859, defending Douglas's position on slavery against the burgeoning Republicans Lincoln, Seward, and Sumner portrayed on the left of the lithograph. In a speech that gave him his nickname, Logan claimed that arresting fugitive slaves was the "dirty work" for Democrats to do in the "Western states." Behind Logan are the African American people persecuted by the slave-hunters, portrayed with exaggerated features, dressed as bandits. Serving as a Union Army general in the Civil War all but obliterated Logan's anti-Republican record. Yet when Logan became the Republican vice-presidential candidate in the 1884 election, the pro-Cleveland <em>Puck</em> printed this lithograph to remind its audience of the Logan's past. Logan and his co-runner James G. Blaine lost the election.</p>
<p>The lithograph comes from a family of a Civil War veteran and could have had two uses. For one, the original owner Samuel L. Roberts probably served under Logan, could have shared Logan's views both before and after the war, and kept this lithograph for the sake of having Logan's likeness. Another possibility is that the lithograph symbolized the beginning of the war in which Roberts fought and the symbol of his fighting. Since the lithograph was framed in 1938, it is also possible that the owners saw it as a representation of the horrors of slavery and a symbol of their ancestor's service to the country in the Civil War.</p>
<p>The lithograph's framing obscured its title and purpose and it would have been impossible to interpret its meaning without addressing the Library of Congress collection, where it can be viewed in greater detail at <a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2012645248/">http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2012645248/</a>.</p>
