<br />
On the night of October 16th, 1859 a party of 17 armed men led by the militant abolitionist John Brown crossed the Potomac River over the B&O railroad bridge (the piers of which can be seen below at left) to seize the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry and its stockpile of 100,000 rifles and muskets. With these weapons, Brown intended to facilitate an armed slave uprising that would spread throughout the entire South. <br />
<br />
While his raid failed, the news of John Brown's attempt was an earthquake that reverberated throughout the entire Union and split the fault line between North and South. denounced as a psychotic terrorist by Southerners, Brown was embraced by many Northern abolitionists as a martyr. This outpouring of support for Brown exasperated Southern suspicions of a yankee-abolitionist plot to subjugate the South under Northern control through emancipation; by force if necessary. Southern states, long fearful of slave revolts, revived the militia system to combat all future "John Browns" laying the foundation for what would become the Confederate Army. <br />
<br />
On the morning of his execution, John Brown handed a note to one of his guards that would become prophetic: "I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood..." 16 months later, Confederate batteries in Charleston would open fire on Fort Sumter, and the bloody purge would begin.

  • The Lily Pond and El Prado Arcade are seen under a cool summer night sky in San Diego, CA. The lily pond lies adjacent to the Botanical Building, one of the largest lath structures in the world. The pond, one of the most photographed landmarks in San Diego, was created for the Panama-California Exposition of 1915 in San Diego's Balboa Park. Brought about with the aim of highlighting San Diego as the first U.S. port of call for ships traveling north after passing westward through the newly opened Panama Canal, the exposition occurred at the same time as the larger Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Nonetheless, the fair was widely regarded as a success, with over two million visitors by the end of 1915 and just under 1.7 million attendees in its second year (due to it's success, the fair was extended from its original one year duration). <br />
<br />
As was customary of world's fair's of that era, the attractions and structures of the Panama-California exposition were constructed with cheap, temporary materials with the intention of being demolished once the fair had ended. However, Many notable visitors including Teddy Roosevelt advocated for the preservation of the immaculate structures. As a result, many of the fair's buildings and gardens were renovated or reconstructed with permanent building materials in order to ensure their enjoyment by future generations.
