| 241. Julia Fletcher was born
in 1823. While a lost name in the history of poetry, she wrote
a poem that was probably memorized by every school child in the
late 19th century. Written in ten minutes in 1845, the poem reads:
Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty
ocean And the pleasant land. So the little moments, Humble though
they be, Make the mighty ages Of Eternity. So the little errors
Lead the soul away From the paths of virtue Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Help to make
earth happy, Like the Heaven above. Her portrait is owned by
Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. She is known today by her
married name, Julia Carney. |

| Recognized as a leading landscape
and genre painter in the United States and abroad, George Henry
Boughton (1834-1905) had the ability to express sentiments and
pathos on canvas. He illustrated editions of Washington Irving's
Rip Van Winkle and Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter.
In his landscapes, he painted scenes of England, Brittany and
the Netherlands. In 1857, Boughton exhibited at the Washington
Art Association, and from 1859 to 1860 he worked in New York
City. In 1860, he traveled to Paris where he studied under Edouard
Frere and Edouard May. Boughton established a studio in London
in 1861. Though now living in England, he focused on subjects
of American Colonial history. He was elected to the R.A. in 1896
and died in London in 1905. |

| 243. Born on January 12, 1837
at Bolton in Lancashire, England, Thomas Moran immigrated to
the United States with his family in 1844, and grew up in Philadelphia
where he was apprenticed to a wood engraver. He was influenced
to become a painter by his older brother, Edward, who was already
an established landscape artist. He journeyed to England where
he fell under the influence of J. M. W. Turner while copying
his works. His first trip to the American West was in 1871 and
the following year he worked in Yosemite. A versatile painter,
Moran often painted in the manner of Turner and sometimes in
the style of Corot. In 1922 he settled in Santa Barbara where
he remained until his death on August 26, 1926. He is internationally
famous for his panoramic landscapes of Yellowstone, Yosemite,
and the Grand Canyon. Mount Moran in the Tetons and Moran Point
in Yosemite are named for him. All of the below oils are owned
by Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois. |

| 244. The Scholte House, Pella,
Iowa, built in the winter and spring of 1847-1848, was the fulfillment
of a promise Dominie Hendrik Scholte made to his wife Mareah
to alleviate her homesickness and disappointment. He had promised
to build her a house with all the comforts of the home she had
left in The Netherlands. Remaining much as it was in Pella's
early days, some rooms now play different roles, and others have
been added. In this treasured house lies much of the earliest
history of de kolonie. Since the Scholte house was built in 1848,
some of its 22 rooms have always been occupied by Scholte descendants.
The last Scholte descendant to live in the house was Leonora
Gaass Hettinga. She and her brother and sister-in-law, Peter
and Norma Gaass, then gave the house to the Pella Historical
Society in 1979 for use as a museum. This oil, by Gerard Nollen,
is one of the many fine pieces in the museum's collection |

Ohio is the birthplace of the famous Civil War General, William
Tecumseh Sherman and his brother, Senator John Sherman. Today
the house is owned by a private non-profit group, the Fairfield
Heritage Association. The Sherman House is on the Civil War Discovery
Trail which links more than 300 sites in 16 states. Sherman (1820-1891)
was a Union General during the Civil War and the commanding general
of the United States Army for fourteen years. He earlier fought
at the first battle of Bull Run. After capturing Atlanta during
the Civil War he initiated his "March to the Sea."
This oil was painting from life by G.P.A. Healy in 1873. |
