General Braddock persisted in conducting his campaign according to European tactics, not- 10 withstanding George Washington, then a Colonel in the Provincial Army, had warned him of the danger of such proceedings in warring against a savage foe. Disregarding Colonel Washington’s advice, the Brit- ish force of about 2,000 men was ambushed and put to rout, Genera! Braddock himself falling from his horse mortally wounded. The painting portrays this tragic moment. Colonel Washington is shown di- recting the placing of a cannon to cover the retreat. Old United States Army Indian fighters who have seen this picture declare it to be a realistic represen- tation of a typical Indian attack from ambuscade.”’ Loaned by the Carnegie Free Library of Braddock, Pennsylvania REBECCA Roup AND WILLIAM PENN BAUM Pioneer residents of East Liberty.

G. O’Brien “FRANKLIN AND BRADDOCK”’ Painted in 1900 by Frederick James, of Philadelphia Purchased and presented to Carnegie Free Library of Braddock by the children of Braddock public and parochial schools. The painting represents Benjamin Franklin and Gen- eral Braddock discussing the proposed expedition to Fort Duquesne. Franklin has just warned Braddock of the danger of an attack from ambush by the Indians and cautioned him against drawing out his line too far, lest it might be ‘‘Cut in two like a shoe string.” Braddock, highly incensed that a provin- cial philosopher should offer suggestions about fight- ing, to him, a trained military general, jumps to his feet and exclaims: “These savages may, indeed, be a formidable enemy to your raw American militia; but upon the king’s regular and disciplined troops, sir, it is impossible they should make any impression.”’ (See Franklin’s Autobiography). The artist has seized upon this point of the conver- sation for his painting; and in pose, dress and facial expression has brought out in a wonderful manner the character of Franklin, the cunning, cool-headed philosopher, and of Braddock, the brave, arrogant, impetuous general.

Foster Homestead,’”’ donated to the City of Pitts- burgh by James H. Park, Esq. Died January 13, 1864; was buried in Allegheny Cemetery, not far from his birthplace. Pupil of Rev. Joseph Stockton, Principal of Allegheny (or Pittsburgh) Academy in “Allegheny town,’’ which later became the Univer- sity of Western Pennsylvania, now University of Pittsburgh. It is said he was not a good student, preferring excursions into forest and field. Never- theless, became a distinguished composer and author of American ballads and songs, among them ‘Old Folks at Home,” ‘Old Kentucky Home,” “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming,”’ and ‘Old Mem- ories.”’ “Fondly old memories recall round my heart - Scenes of my early joys that never depart.

Anderson Note book containing memoranda in _ pencil, showing Foster’s methods of composition, both mu- sic and words. The photographs show notes on ““Swanee River’’ and ‘‘Massa’s in the Cold, Cold Ground,’’ about which Foster’s biographer, William Morrison Foster, states as follows: ‘‘One day in 1851, Stephen came into my office, on the bank of the Monongahela, Pittsburgh, and said to me, ‘What is a good name of two syllables for a Southern river? I want to use it in this new song of ‘‘Old Folks at Home.’’’ I asked him how Yazoo would do, ‘Oh,’ said he, ‘that has been used before.’ I then suggested Pedee. ‘Oh, pshaw,’ he replied, ‘I won’t have that.’ I then took down an atlas from the top of my desk and opened the map of the United States. We both looked over it and my finger stopped at the ‘Swa- nee,” a little river in Florida, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. ‘That’s it, that’s it exactly,’ ex- claimed he delighted, as he wrote the name down; and the song was finished, commencing ‘Way Down Upon de Swanee Ribber.’ He left the office, as was his custom, abruptly, without saying another word, and I resumed my work.” “Stephen never went away from home to stay again, as long as his mother and father lived. The latter 24 was an invalid, and was confined to his room for four years before his death, which took place July 27, 1855. Stephen was attentive and devoted to his sick father as long as the latter lived. The sentiment of the poetry in the song of ‘Massa’s in de Cold, Cold Ground’ expresses his own experience and feelings.” Loaned by Mrs. A. D.
