On the morning of September 2, 1864, the citizens of Atlanta were feeling uncertain and probably sleep-deprived after watching the explosions the night before. Mayor James Calhoun and a delegation of prominent citizens wandered around the damaged streets with a white flag looking for somebody in charge. Gen. Sherman was still at Jonesborough, 26 miles away, but Gen. Slocum, whose corps had stayed behind to guard the railroad bridge across the Chattahoochee River, had guessed from the explosions that the Confederates had pulled out and had sent troops into the city to investigate. It was to them that Mayor Calhoun wrote a note of surrender. By noon Marietta Street was blue with Union soldiers.
On September 3 Sherman telegraphed to Washington: "...So Atlanta is ours, and fairly won."
There's a vivid account of what it was like in Atlanta 150 years ago at www.artery.org/08_history/UpperArtery/CivilWar/FMGarretts...
Here is the surrender site on Marietta Street at Northside Drive as it appeared 150 years later. (Minus a small foreground tree and a historical marker that I didn't include.) I meant to color it, but ran out of time. During the hour I sat drawing, only one person paused to read the historical marker.

Slorg was sadly surrendered with two other friends when his
owner passed away. He is a bit shy……but friendly once
he gets to know you. Slorg arrived with his buddies, Sonny and Bug. Slorg is a handsome long-haired kitty with big green eyes. He will need to be brushed regularly to keep his locks shining and him happy. He is OK with cat friendly cats. We do not know if he is OK with dogs or young children.
sooc.

it's been a while since i posted any new photos. between working 40+ (at times) hours at work and going to school full time, i haven't been able to do much photography for myself.
this photo was a result from a shoot that i did with a good friend a few days ago. i felt like it illustrated the word "surrender" pretty well. i may post some more of photos from this shoot up sometime soon.
i hope you are well.
Traveller's remains were buried in a wooden box encased in concrete next to the Lee Chapel on the Washington & Lee campus, a few feet away from the Lee family crypt inside, where his master's body rests. The stable where he lived his last days, directly connected to the Lee House on campus, traditionally stands with its doors left open; this is said to allow his spirit to wander freely.
A covered breezeway connected Lee's house to a stable for Traveller, and Lee wrote to a friend that he liked living “under the same roof” as his beloved horse.
“Traveller is my only companion . . . He and I . . . wander out in the mountains and enjoy sweet confidence.”
—Robert E. Lee, writing to his daughter Mildred, October 1865

Looking every inch the loyal assistant, Molly finally surrendered after licking, sniffing and generally sticking her nose into every element of this very rudimentary photo set-up. After repeated use of the famous "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" dog command, she sighed loudly and flopped in a heap, utterly defeated. She's such a drama queen.
Ceccano is a town and comune in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, central Italy.The town had its origins as an ancient Volscian citadel that surrendered to the Romans in 424 BC.[1] Its name in ancient times was Fabrateria Vetus.According to tradition, the name was changed into the current one in the early Middle Ages, in honor of one Petronius Ceccanus, father of Pope Honorius I. Conquered by the Lombards at the time of King Aistulf (c. 750), later it became an important fortress of the Papal territories. From 900 to 1450 it was ruled by the local Counts of Ceccano, most likely of German origin; later their territories were assigned to Rodrigo Borgia by Pope Alexander VI and then to the Colonna family.
The history of the castle goes through three phases.
The first is the Medieval phase, when the rock was the centre of the Ceccano's counts dominion, which enclosed the two opposite Lepini's mountainsides. In this period the castle owned the keep, the Palatium and the Turris picta.
The second phase is linked to the the dominion of the Colonna family which started in 1523. In this period the rock was turned into a jail and it hosted a General Hearer who managed the dominion. In 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decided to trasfer the Law Court from Pofi to Ceccano and in this circumstance a structure of two floors was added to the castle.
In the third phase the architect Antonio Cipolla directed the works of reparation which conferred to the castle a neogothic façade and a crenellated bench. The last floor was converted to a place of residence and the buildings situated on the right of the courtyard come from this period.
In 1973 the jail was closed and the castle was abandoned for 30 years. In 1993 the Municipality of Ceccano bought it at an advertised bidding.
The Municipality, according to the the new reparation works, decided to break down all the buildings which had got no affinity with the primary structure. The primary façades were maintened to allow a good reconstruction of the three phases: Medieval castle, Colonna's castle and the 19th century dome. These works were the centre of a lot of controversies because the Municipality did not rebuild the 19th century crenellations.
Ceccano è un comune italiano di 23.083 abitanti della provincia di Frosinone nel Lazio. Per abitanti è la quinta città della provincia.Ceccano è l'antica Fabrateria Vetus, città volsca, già esistente nel 330 a.C., situata lungo le rive del fiume Sacco denominato dai Romani Trerus o Tolerus. Il collegamento Ceccano e l'antica Fabrateria si fonda su antiche iscrizioni rinvenute tra il Settecento e il'Ottocento nel territorio comunale. Nel Martirologio Romano del 2001, Fabrateria Vetus è citata in riferimento a San Magno, patrono di Anagni. Questo obbliga a riscrivere la storia del grande santo che, fino ad oggi, si credeva martirizzato a Fondi. Patria di San Silverio I Papa (come scritto da papa Gregorio XVI nella Bolla in cui elevava a Collegiata la Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista in Ceccano) che nacque nella contrada di Campo Troiano, odierna Cantinella', la città fu per ordine del Pontefice cinta di mura difensive, in minima parte ancora visibili .
La storia del castello dei conti de Ceccano passa attraverso tre fasi.
Nella prima fase, quella medievale, la rocca fu centro della grande Signoria dei conti de Ceccano che si estendeva a cavallo dei due opposti versanti dei monti Lepini. In questo periodo il castello comprendeva la torre mastio, il palatium e la turris picta.
La seconda fase è legata al dominio della famiglia Colonna, subentrata nel 1523 ai de Ceccano. In questo periodo la fortezza, che ospitava un Uditore Generale tramite il quale i Colonna amministravano la città, fu adibita a carcere. Nel 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decise di trasferire a Ceccano il Tribunale Generale dello Stato di Pofi, insieme all'archivio e alle carceri. Questa circostanza comportò un ampliamento della struttura che venne dotata di un edificio di due piani ospitante il tribunale e di altri corpi di fabbrica per le crescenti necessità.
La terza fase vide il marchese Filippo Berardi incamerare, alla fine del XIX secolo, tutti i beni del feudo Colonna. Il castello venne sottoposto a restauro per opera dell'architetto Antonio Cipolla, che conferì all'edificio forme neogotiche nelle facciate, merlature al terrazzo di copertura del corpo principale e delle torri e finestre a bifora nell'ultimo piano, trasformato da sottotetto a residenza. Appartengono a quest'ultimo periodo anche gli edifici situati alla destra del cortile residenziale.
Dopo la chiusura del carcere nel 1973, il castello rimase per circa trent'anni abbandonato fino a quando nel 1998 venne acquistato dall'Amministrazione Comunale tramite un'asta pubblica.I lavori del successivo restauro, eseguiti non senza polemiche riguardo alla mancata ricostruzione delle merlature ottocentesche, hanno previsto la demolizione di tutte le costruzioni recenti e incongrue all'impianto originario dell'edificio e ai suoi ampliamenti, con il fine di recuperare il più possibile le facciate originarie e consentire la lettura delle tre differenti fasi costruttive: castello medievale, castello dei Colonna e palazzo di fine '800.
