The Bennington Museum Civil War Memorial
Civil War markers, like military mementos, are subject to some pretty weird rules of etiquette. On the left, an image of a Civil War crosshatch on a post card, an 18th-century German symbol of resistance on a coin, and an image of a Civil War flag with a Star of David over it all. All of these were, of course, placed in the collection of the Bennington Museum in Vermont, in the very same town as the Civil War battlefield. But they were displayed without the usual fanfare, and without any sign to explain what they represented. Which is fine, because they’re actually pretty interesting to look at.
In the late 1700s, Vermont became the first state in the country to pass a law mandating that public markers in the area should bear a different, non-religious message than the ones on which they were created. Originally, the signers of these signs would need official permission, but that’s no longer the situation now; these signs are now legally created by the town, subject only to the authority governing the museum, a point to which I’ll return. That last bit aside, though, these markers are fascinating, and in a few places quite beautiful.
To get an idea of where to start, let’s start in Vermont’s capitol, where the battle between Union and Confederacy took place. Bennington has a Civil War museum; Bennington is also the main town of Bennington, where the battle took place. The battle, of course, was the battle against the Confederate troops that, at the time, were the most powerful army in the United States. It was during this battle that Henry C. Beecher, born in Bennington, wrote the famous Book of Negroes, which became the bible of the abolitionist movement.
The museum itself, however, is located just outside of the town; Bennington is, in fact, the third-largest town in Vermont, only the second-largest in Vermont in terms of population, and is home to about 200 people. As a result, Bennington’s town website tells us that “it is impossible to visit the battlefields without visiting the town.

‘There are three things that should be done over the dead of war: build for the living, bury for the dead, and pray for the living.
The Bennington Museum’s Civil War Memorial is located in the former US Army headquarters. Built in 1880 it is two stories above ground level and built of Bedford limestone. It was intended as a replica of an actual town or fort, but the original town was destroyed by a Confederate raid over thirty years before; the Bennington Museum’s one-time military headquarters was founded in 1877. The museum houses the original US Army building, as well as the original equipment from that building and various other military equipment.
The first thing that should be done over the dead of war is to make the living more comfortable. This can be accomplished by sheltering the wounded from the cold or wet or by providing them with blankets or pillows to keep the chill off their backs.
Another thing that should be done should be to bury them properly. The museum’s monument has been the site of one of the most gruesome murders to hit the North for a while. The first murder of two Civil War soldiers, James Henry and Edward Rooks, occurred on April, 1, 1865. The bodies of both men had been found in a mass grave in North Carolina, where they had been killed by the Union troops. This was a particularly horrific incident because the Federal troops had shot and killed both men under the pretense of trying to protect the Union Army from another raid. The bodies were later buried, but not without the knowledge of the Federal troops; General McCook, the Chief of the US Army General Staff, made all the arrangements that his troops would have been able to do.

These murders are what the Bennington Museum is trying to honor. The site also contains two Civil War cannons, one from the original Army building and one from a new building that was built in the 1890s. Both are located near the main entrance to the main building.
The restoration project of the Bennington Memorial.
This article describes the restoration project of the Bennington Memorial Hall. The restoration project is to repair damage to the building and its contents from a fire, and to restore the site and its buildings and grounds to their original condition. The Bennington Memorial is the site of the state capitol building in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Built in 1842, the original building and grounds of the building have been restored to their original condition. The first floor of the building was rebuilt following a fire in 1847 and again following damage caused by a fire in 1854 caused by a lightning strike. Following this fire, the first floor was rebuilt with the original structure still in place and the land to the rear was taken over by the state. The building is located within the historic district of Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Tips of the Day in Programming
Hello, I’m Yihui Xie. I am a C&C consultant working on my Master in Computer Science from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I recently completed my PhD in Computer Engineering and I am the founder of C&C consulting firm, Yihui Xie Consulting, in Hong Kong. I’ve worked with many projects since I started to work for Y.
Xie: From a very young age, I remember starting writing a program in my sleep. It was just a game of strategy, and I couldn’t finish it and got tired from it. I never actually got very far, because I was so young and it took such a long time, though, because I couldn’t practice. But I remember that a friend of mine did so, and that’s how I got into it. And then a colleague of mine also got very good and he said that I should focus on programming seriously, and I did. That was my first real exposure to programming.
