"Dear Lou": Civil War Letters Home from Capt Charles Corbit

Sat, 25 May 2013 13:48:54 GMT

The Historic Odessa Foundation archives contain numerous original letters from many of the family members who lived in the Foundation’s 18th century houses. Among them are letters from Captain Charles Corbit, son of Henry C. Corbit, to his beloved wife Louisa Anderson Corbit, daughter of Daniel Corbit and Eliza Naudain of Odessa. Captain Corbit was an officer in the First Delaware Cavalry Regiment and was stationed at several locations on the eastern shore. He is recognized as a hero of the small skirmish at an important rail and road junction in Westminster, Maryland (on what is now the campus of McDaniel College) on June 29, 1863, where he led 90 men in a charge against the larger numbers of Jeb Stuart’s cavalry. It resulted in capture of most of the Delaware soldiers, including Corbit who was also wounded, but was significant for delaying Stuart’s arrival at the battle of Gettysburg. The Corbit letters concentrate in the years 1863 to early 1865 and document many aspects of a soldier’s everyday life. Captain Corbit tells of the billeting of officers in local hotels and their horses in town stables. The letters are revealing of the harsh conditions, ailments and complaints of the men, and touching for their homesickness, and frank comments on both politicians and military leaders. During his time at the front lines in 1864 his wife, while living in St. George’s, Delaware, just 3 miles north of Odessa, informs him their only son has died. Captain Corbit’s letters are addressed "Dear Lou" his nickname for his wife Louisa and usually end with “Your Affectionate Husband Charles”. The exhibit also includes a number of Civil War objects and an elegant period dress of the era in the HOF collection that belonged to Mary Corbit Warner. The exhibit will be in the Historic Odessa Bank building from May 7 through August 2. Save the date April 26th to meet Louisa Corbit (played by HOF librarian Rita Ryor) for an evening candlelight tour of the Corbit-Sharp House followed by wine and savories in the Collins-Sharp House. Watch our website for announcements of lectures on the exhibit.

Which Way the Wind Blows: Antique American Weathervanes

Sat, 25 May 2013 13:48:54 GMT

Functional and artistic, weathervanes roosted over American buildings both humble and high style-barns and banks, churches and courthouses. Viewed today as folk art, weathervanes were one of the earliest sculptural forms in the United States. Weathervane forms run the gamut through history beginning at the Temple of the Winds in ancient Athens, where the figure of Triton-cleverly designed to always face the direction of the wind-topped the structure. In America, colonial craftsmen fashioned unique weathervanes, such as Shem Drowne's grasshopper atop Boston's Faneuil Hall, which were later imitated, mass-produced and offered through mail-order catalogues. The exhibition, which will include 28 weather-vanes, covers the variety of forms popular in this country as well as the finer points of interest to collectors including finishes, manufacturers and matters of authenticity.

Jamie Wyeth, Rockwell Kent and Monhegan

Sat, 25 May 2013 13:48:54 GMT

A small island off the coast of Maine, Monhegan has long lured artists to its remote shores, promising dramatic ocean vistas, rugged landscapes and inspiring scenes of men struggling against the forces of nature. This exhibition examines the fascination that the island of Monhegan and its people held for both Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) and Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946). Though the two artists never met, Kent's and Wyeth's paintings, when viewed together, depict a century's worth of Monhegan life and landmarks. The exhibition will include examples of some of Wyeth's most recent paintings and a number of works from his personal collection of Kent's coastal views of the Monhegan headlands. Wyeth's paintings, on the other hand, are often created with his "back to the sea," as he describes it, focusing on the people who inhabit the island. Drawn from both public and private collections, the exhibition features oil paintings, watercolors, drawings and one of Kent's sketchbooks from Monhegan.

The Zombie Mud Run

Sat, 25 May 2013 13:48:54 GMT

The Zombie Mud Run If you dare, experience this frightening, post-apocalyptic 5K obstacle Mud Run, teeming with Zombies infected with the living dead virus… finally, a reason to run! Time: Gates open at 7 a.m.; Zombie Mud Runs start every 30 minutes from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Register as a Human or a Zombie. Humans race wearing a flag football belt with three flags, which represent the vital organs; Brains, Heart and Entrails. Zombies try to “eat” the Humans' organs – by capturing their flags. The race course is complete with natural and man-made obstacles that will test your strength and endurance, including walls to climb, muddy hills to slide down, and tubes to crawl through. Humans who finish the race with at least one “organ” - or flag - survive and help save the Human race. If the Zombies capture all of your flags, you are infected with the living dead virus and die - or at least don’t win the race. In between races, Humans and Zombies can enjoy the Green Zone Midway, which includes music, vendors, food and beverages, including beer. To participate, as either a Human or a Zombie, pre-registration is required. Must be 14 or older to participate.

The exhibition will honor four remarkable Delawareans who led in the development of independent African American churches in the early 1800s: Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, Samuel Cornish, and Peter Spencer. In Wilmington, Spencer made history when he founded the nation’s first independent black denomination in 1813 and the Big August Quarterly, the nation’s oldest African American festival, in 1814. The exhibition will also explore the diversity of African American faith experiences, the role of the black preacher, and the role of religion in the African American community. This story is important not only for Delaware’s African Americans; it is of regional and national importance for all Delawareans and all who are interested in religions history.
