4.9/5 (20802 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from John H. B. Latrobe: And His Times 1803-1891 The Design on the Cover is a graphic representation of the life of John H. B. Latrobe. The axes on either side are the fasces of the law which constituted the chief activity of his career. The medallion in the lower centre recalls his West Point service and the architectural honor which came to him when his design was selected for the monument to the Polish patriot, Kosciuszko, which was erected at the Military Academy. His architectural ability is further emphasized by the reproduction in the upper centre of his design for the buildings at White Sulphur Springs, known as the Baltimore Cottages. The book in the small circle at the left testifies to his literary proclivities; while the circle at the right bears evidence to his prominence in Masonry as the Grand Master of the State of Maryland. The circle on the lower left is a reminder of his unique services to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road which he served faithfully and unselfishly from its organization until his death in 1891. The circle at the right recalls the early days of the steamboat, when as a boy he frequented his fathers works in Pittsburgh and watched the building of those boats which were the pioneers of steam power on the western waters. Finally, the Indian peace pipes bear eloquent testimony to the vital assistance which he rendered to the Indian nations of Choctaws and Chickasaws in their long and hard fight after the Civil War to preserve their lands and moneys from the threatened confiscation of the United States government.
