The General Lee
Manufacture: Dodge
Production: 1969
The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys, Bo and Luke. It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows.

The Chattanooga National Cemetery was established in 1863 by order of Major General George H. Thomas, U.S.A., dated December 25, 1863, (General Order 296, Headquarters, Department of the Cumberland), in commemoration of the Battles of Chattanooga fought from November 23 to 27, 1863. The cemetery was not designated a national cemetery until 1867 when Congress passed "An Act to Establish and Protect National Cemeteries." Frederick Buntley, a discharged sergeant of infantry, was appointed the first superintendent of the cemetery as of January 10, 1868.
Included within the Chattanooga National Cemetery are three large commemorative monuments like the one seen in the photograph above. It is the Andrews Raiders Monument located in Section H that is topped by a bronze replica of a tall-stacked wood burning Civil War-era locomotive known as 'The General'. It was erected in 1890 by the State of Ohio as their tribute to Federal spy James J. Andrews and several members of his company of volunteer soldiers who are buried here. It commemorates an 1862 Civil War raid with thrills and misadventures in the best traditions of a "cops and robbers" chase.
This cemetery remains an important component of the multiple property submission of Civil War Era National Cemeteries and is especially significant because of its association with the Civil War. There was no more formidable theater of operations in the Civil War than that around Chattanooga, which was called the "Key to East Tennessee" and the "Gateway to the Deep South". The possession of Chattanooga was vital to the Confederacy and a converted goal of the northern armies. And, because of it's high level of significance, the Chattanooga National Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 16, 1996. All of the information above (and much, much more!) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Detail of the General, one of the locomotives from the Great Locomotive Chase of the American War Between the States. It is on permanent display at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia
If you're ever in Kennesaw, GA, I highly recommend checking out the Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History. The crown jewel of the collection is Western & Atlantic #3, the "General", which famously was stolen by Union soldiers during the Civil War and set into motion the fabled "Great Locomotive Chase". The General last ran in the 1960s, I believe, and is now permanently displayed at the museum.
Artist: Howard Tharpe
In 1926, Buster Keaton's The General was filmed in Cottage Grove and the surrounding countryside. The movie included a spectacular locomotive crash and the wrecked train became a minor tourist attraction until it was dismantled for scrap during World War II.

Our walk took us past Seville Cathedral - you can see it on the right, with the General Archive of the Indies on the left in this photo. I took it partly to show all the horses we passed along the way..
The Archivo General de Indias - 'General Archive of the Indies'), often simply called the Archive of the Indies, was created by Carlos III and inaugurated in 1785. It is housed in the former merchant guild building in Seville, Spain, built in the late 16th century. It became the repository of archival materials documenting the history of the Spanish Empire in the Americas and Asia. The building was designed by Juan de Herrera; it is an Italianate example of Spanish Renaissance architecture. This structure and its contents were registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, together with the adjoining Seville Cathedral and the Alcázar of Seville. (From Wikipedia)
Daniel. And The General. Daniel is home from college. The General? He ventured from across the street. It’s good to see them both.

Revisiting some old photos that are mainly lit naturally by a full moon, with a bit of fill light from my flash gun with no gels on. Always look so nice.

In all honesty there are far bigger stags at Deer Parks, but this sixteen-pointer is the biggest at this year's Suffolk rut in the Minsmere, Westleton/Dunwich Heath area.
BBC Autumnwatch [BBC2, Tues 28th - Fri 31st Oct] spent three weeks filming here and in the footage on the show he is referred to as "The General".
Stags are bigger at the parks because of their longer average lifespan. Plenty of food, no predators (and sometimes veterinary care) means that park stags regularly survive to an age of 18 and sometimes beyond.
By contrast, records of their wild cousins living beyond the age of 12 are rare. **

There are cameras, and then there are systems. The Mamiya Press is a system. Always one to do things differently, Mamiya designed its medium format system around a rangefinder press base.
It's heavy, but it works. The brightline finder is quite bright and adjusts for parallax. The grip, shown here, is really a necessity more than an option. The lenses are interchangeable, going from a 50mm all the way to a 250mm. The backs are likewise removable, giving you options like 2x3 sheets, 6x9, 6x7, and polaroid in some cases. My ultimate goal is to pair the 50mm with a 6x9 back.
Speaking of the back, this particular model, the super 23, has a bellows back that adjusts for tilt and close-focusing. Pretty neat.
If I was to give this camera a name, it would be "The General." Just seems appropriate for a camera built to withstand World War III.
Here's a broadside view of what is arguably one of the most famous steam locomotives of all time, albeit for the events of just one day of its nearly 160 years of existence. For the past half century, the Western & Atlantic "General", the star of the "Great Locomotive Chase" has been enshrined here at the Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History in Kennesaw, GA. From where she sits, the 1855 Rogers 4-4-0 is perhaps 100 yards or less from the spot where, on April 12th of 1862, James J. Andrews and a team of Federal Soldiers stole her right out from under the noses of both a W&ARR crew and several hundred, armed, Confederate Soldiers. It's the place where she belongs.
As you see her today, the iconic "General" looks somewhat different than she did on that day in 1862. Gone are the Radley & Hunter balloon stack, the strap-iron pilot, the three-dome configuration and the axle-height running boards. As with most steam locomotives that served long careers, she was modified and rebuilt a number of times from the day she rolled out of the shops in New Jersey until she was retired in 1891, and she's changed even more in the years since. The General is perhaps the ultimate incarnation of "George Washington's axe." The handle has been replaced 5 times and the blade has been replaced 2 times....but we still see it as George Washington's axe.
Darek stayed home with a 102F temperature today. Poor man. I did my best to keep him comfortable.
David, from The General came for our yearly heater check. It's running perfectly but they are recommending we get a surge protector for the air conditioner.

Washington & Atlanta 4-4-0, the "General", makes a pit stop at Momence, Illinois in 1962. Train is northbound and the view looks S/W from the roof of the passenger station shed across from the depot on the C&EI. Train is stopped on the 4th street crossing and has 2 passenger cars.

W&A 4-4-0 #3 was built by Rogers as W&A #39 in 1855.
