Title A name given to the resource Kossuth in Concord Subject The topic of the resource Lajos Kossuth Description An account of the resource The plight of European political refugees following failed revolutions against autocratic rule in the late 1840s engaged the sympathy of American reformers. Margaret Fuller, who witnessed first-hand and aided the revolution in Rome, was working on a book about it when she died in 1850. Elizabeth Peabody edited a collection titled Crimes of the House of Austria Against Mankind, which was published in 1850. In 1851, exiled Hungarian statesman and patriot Lajos Kossuth traveled to America in search of assistance for his homeland. In May of 1852, Concord was one of the towns he visited in New England. Kossuth came on May 7th. He dined and visited the Battle Ground and the site of the old North Bridge—icons of the struggle for American political freedom—before proceeding to the Town Hall. The children of the town had been gathered to welcome him. Emerson formally greeted and introduced Kossuth, referring to him as “the foremost soldier of freedom in this age.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Town of Concord Committee of Arrangements Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1852 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All materials courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library Concord Emerson Kossuth Refugees https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/13cb923f0cd1c0367313a9bad323f90f.jpeg 8247ef990fb40d8550a1559bbe97ef42 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Emerson on Lincoln Subject The topic of the resource Abraham Lincoln Description An account of the resource In the 1850s and 1860s, Emerson participated in the political process to the extent that his involvement forwarded the cause of abolition. Moreover, although he did not care for the hullabaloo of party politics and did not approve of making popular heroes out of politicians, he was willing to recognize the worth and importance of a politician who conducted himself morally. Emerson voted for Abraham Lincoln, but he remained for a time unsure of Lincoln’s motivations and effectiveness. The Civil War began in 1861. Like other abolitionists, Emerson felt that its true purpose was emancipation, not the preservation of the Union. He could not commit himself to supporting the war wholeheartedly until Lincoln freed the slaves. Lincoln won Emerson over completely with his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in 1862. From this point on, Emerson—who devoted considerable thought to the subject of great men—respected Lincoln’s greatness. On October 12, 1862, he delivered an address on the Emancipation Proclamation at the Music Hall in Boston. The address was published in the Atlantic Monthly for November, 1862. Emerson also willingly participated in Union fundraising and morale-boosting efforts. Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865—a few days after the Civil War came to an end—and died the following morning. On April 19th (the anniversary of Concord’s role at the start of the Revolution), the town halted the business of ordinary life for three hours and held a funeral service for Lincoln at the First Parish. The order of services included an address by Emerson, who emphasized Lincoln’s particular fitness to the difficult role he had assumed: “This man grew according to the need. His mind mastered the problem of the day; and, as the problem grew, so did his comprehension of it. Rarely was man so fitted to the event.” In his address, Emerson also likened the power of Lincoln’s address at Gettysburg to that of speeches by John Brown and Kossuth.

Title A name given to the resource The Concord Hymn Subject The topic of the resource Concord Hymn Description An account of the resource Ruth Haskins Emerson wrote to her son William—Ralph Waldo’s older brother—on June 27, 1837: “The 4th of July, the good citizens of Concord talk of celebrating by having a little parade on account of the erection of the Monument—The Hon. S. Hoar is to give an address on the occasion[,] Dr. Ripley, a prayer, & Waldo, has written a hymn, to be sung to the tune of old hundred—when it is printed will send you a copy.” Emerson, in Plymouth on July 4th, did not hear his hymn sung at the dedication of Concord’s monument commemorating the battle at the North Bridge on April 19, 1775. What is now known as the “Concord Hymn”—today perhaps Emerson’s best-known piece of poetry—was first printed for distribution at the dedication of the Battle Monument (Myerson A4.1). The text of later printings, including the version shown here (collected in The Boston Book for 1850), varies somewhat from the original. In 1875, the first verse of the “Concord Hymn” was carved into the granite base of Daniel Chester French’s Minute Man statue, erected on the opposite bank of the Concord River from the Battle Monument for the town’s centennial celebration of the Concord Fight.

Title A name given to the resource Dedication of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Subject The topic of the resource Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Description An account of the resource Emerson delivered the address at the dedication of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery on September 29, 1855. Today, Sleepy Hollow is a tourist destination for thousands of pilgrims to Concord, including many who come specifically to see Emerson’s final resting place. Laid out on land purchased from the estate of Deacon Reuben Brown, Sleepy Hollow was named, according to George Bradford Bartlett in his 1880 Concord Guide Book, for the natural “amphitheatre” that “had borne the name of Sleepy Hollow long before it was thought of as a burial place.” The choice of name may or may not also have reflected local familiarity with Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” In his dedication address, Emerson remarked upon Sleepy Hollow’s “seclusion from the village in its immediate neighborhood,” which had long made the area “an easy retreat on a Sabbath day, or a summer twilight.” The plans for the cemetery were drawn up by landscape architects Horace William Shaler Cleveland and Robert Morris Copeland. In their design, Cleveland and Copeland avoided the imposition of a geometric grid of lots over the terrain, preferring instead to place lots on paths and drives that followed the natural outlines of the land, and respecting native trees and plants. Cleveland’s sense of landscape design was informed by Emerson’s approach to aesthetics. In his speech at the dedication of Sleepy Hollow, Emerson extolled the natural landscape as the proper focus of the landscape architect: “Modern taste has shown that there is no ornament, no architecture alone, so sumptuous as well disposed woods and waters, where art has been employed only to remove superfluities, and bring out the natural advantages.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1855 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All materials courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library Concord Emerson Sleepy Hollow Cemetery https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/49e7d337184f29676f3cb3925fc29906.jpeg ec0d2e9ced9ca43cc0dee729b646970b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Address before the Middlesex Agricultural Society Subject The topic of the resource Agriculture Description An account of the resource Membership in agricultural societies was one indication of a 19th century farmer’s openness to new trends. Concord farmers had a choice of two local organizations, the Middlesex Agricultural Society and the much smaller, more local Concord Farmer’s Club. Although its membership included many working farmers, the activities of the Middlesex Agricultural Society drew a number of Concord residents for whom farming was more recreational than vocational. In 1858, Emerson delivered an address at the annual cattle show and exhibition of the Middlesex Agricultural Society. Edward Emerson commented that the speech showed that his father “had not lived in the country in vain, and had seen and recognized the great lines on which the farmer must lay out his year’s work.” The piece was collected in 1870 in Emerson’s Society and Solitude (Myerson A31), under the title “Farming.” In addition to delivering the address, Emerson also entered pears and grapes at the 1858 exhibition.

Title A name given to the resource Address at the Dedication of the Soldier's Monument Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource In 1867, Concord honored its Civil War dead by erecting a memorial obelisk in Monument Square. The ceremonies at the dedication of the Soldiers’ Monument on April 19th included a prayer by the Reverend Grindall Reynolds of the First Parish, an ode by George Bradford Bartlett sung to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne,” an address by Ralph Waldo Emerson (a member of the twenty-five man Monument Committee), poems by Frank Sanborn and Sampson Mason, and brief remarks by George S. Boutwell, William Schouler, and others. Emerson opened his address by calling attention to the significance of April 19th as the anniversary both of the Concord Fight and of the day on which the troops had departed from Concord for Washington in 1861. He closed emotionally, invoking the higher purpose of the sacrifices made: “There are people who can hardly read the names on yonder bronze tablet, the mist so gathers in their eyes. Three of the names are of sons of one family. A gloom gathers on this assembly, composed as it is of kindred men and women, for, in many houses, the dearest and noblest is gone from their hearthstone. Yet it is tinged with light from heaven. A duty so severe has been discharged, and with such immense results of good, lifting private sacrifice to the sublime, that, though the cannon volleys have the sound of funeral echoes, they can yet hear through them the benedictions of their country and mankind.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Ceremonies at the Dedication of the Soldiers’ Monument, in Concord, Mass.

Title A name given to the resource Letter of introduction for Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar Subject The topic of the resource E. R. Hoar Description An account of the resource Judge Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar (1816-1895)—known familiarly as Rockwood—was a good friend to Emerson and his fellow member in the Social Circle in Concord and the Saturday Club in Boston. Like his distinguished father Sam Hoar, Rockwood was a lawyer, a key member of the Middlesex Bar, an active citizen of Concord, and a public servant at the state and national levels. A cultivated and sociable man with a good sense of humor, he was as comfortable among members of the Saturday Club as he was in a court of law. Rockwood graduated from Harvard in 1835, began the study of law in his father’s office, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1839. A Whig, Free Soiler, and Republican, he entered politics in 1840 as a delegate to the Whig Young Men’s Convention for Middlesex County and a supporter of Whig candidate William Henry Harrison. In 1840, Hoar married Caroline Downes Brooks, daughter of Concord lawyer Nathan Brooks. In 1845, he built an impressive Greek Revival house on Main Street (now 194 Main), near his parents’ home. Rockwood and Caroline Hoar had seven children. Hoar was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas from 1849 until 1855, a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court from 1859 until 1869, United States Attorney General in the cabinet of President Grant from 1869 until 1870, and a representative in the United States Congress from 1873 until 1875. He was also a proponent of abolition. In 1859, when United States Marshal’s deputies attempted to arrest Frank Sanborn in Concord for his complicity in John Brown’s raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, Hoar issued the writ of habeas corpus that prevented them from doing so. A civic leader in Concord, Hoar no doubt encouraged Emerson’s participation in municipal affairs. He served on the School Committee, chaired the Concord Town Library Committee and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation, and was a member of the Committee on General Invitations for the town’s 1875 celebration of the centennial of the Concord Fight. (Hoar hosted distinguished guest Ulysses S. Grant at his Main Street home when the president and his cabinet came to town for the celebration.) In 1894, the year in which Patriots’ Day became a Massachusetts holiday, he delivered the April 19th address at the First Parish in Concord. Hoar traveled to Europe once, in 1847. Emerson wrote him a letter of introduction to British author, journalist, social reformer, and abolitionist Harriet Martineau.

In 1866, Emerson initiated a subscription to fund Mann’s preparation of a herbarium for the Concord Town Library. Subscribers included Emerson himself, George Keyes, John Shepard Keyes, Frederic Hudson, E.R. Hoar, William Munroe, Albert Stacy, Frank Sanborn, William Emerson, George P. Bradford, A.B. Warren, and George Brooks.
