Civil War Reenactment at Hovander Farm...the Afternoon Battle
Photos from the afternoon Battle, August 11, 2012
An Anniversary of Peace and Bells Across the Land
Gettysburg Seminary and the Seminary Ridge Museum participated in Bells Across the Land on April 9, 2015.
Bells Across the Land recognizes the agreement ending hostilities made at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. To honor this historic day, bells rang first at Appomattox at 3 p.m., and then across the nation. We joined with other institutions across town and across the nation by ringing the Emanuel Bells that afternoon beginning at 3:15 p.m. The chiming lasted for four minutes—each minute symbolizing one year of the War.
Robert Bordner descendant of Dwight David Eisenhower 11 16 2017

U.S. president’s family got start here
Posted on February 3, 2015 by csholly
While working on an old photo gallery, Lebanon Daily News photographer Jeremy Long discovered an interesting tidbit about Lebanon County history. President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s ancestors started their American life on a farm near Fredericksburg, Bethel Township. When Eisenhower was elected president in 1952, the Lebanon Daily News ran an article about his ancestry. Almost 100 years prior to his election, his ancestors bought land here. According to the Nov. 6, 1952 article, Nicholas Eisenhauer (also spelled Eisenhower) was granted 100 acres of farm land by Provincial Gov. James Hamilton in January 1753. The farm, just a few miles north of the Little Swatara Creek near Fredericksburg, adjoined farms owned by Jacob Meily and John Holtman. Like many German people of the time, the Eisenhowers came from the Rhineland area, seeking religious freedom and greater opportunities, the article stated. Nicholas Eisenhauer arrived in America with three sons – Martin, Peter and John. President Eisenhower descended from Peter, the article stated. In 1745, Peter Eisenhower had a son, also named Peter, who was baptized by the Rev. John Casper Stoever, a famous Lutheran minister in Lebanon County. In 1831, the article stated, the Eisenhauers moved from Lebanon County to a farm in Elizabethville, Dauphin County. President Eisenhower’s grandfather, Jacob, was born there, became a farmer and sawmill operator and a minister for the Brethren in Christ Church. Looking for better opportunities, Jacob moved the family to Abilene, Kan. in 1878. President Eisenhower had other ties to Pennsylvania; two of his brothers lived in the state, one of whom (Milton E.) was president of what is today Penn State University in State College. In November 1950, Eisenhower purchased a 200-acre dairy farm three miles north of Gettysburg. If you haven’t had an opportunity to tour that farm, it’s worth taking the time to do so. Long’s photo gallery includes photos of Eisenhower’s birthday celebration at Hershey in October 1953.

Danish delegation of bishops meet Egypt's Grand Sheikh

5. Danish delegation walking
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Bishop Karsten Nissen:
His Excellency Mr Tantawi has assured us that he, as a religious man, is against any violent acts who could be used in this conflict, that you have to give your opinion in a civilised way and a peaceful demonstration but burning down embassies or flags or hurting people is as much against the rules of Islam, I understand, that it is against the rules of Christianity.
7. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Sheik of al-Azhar:
It will end when this law is implemented and it will end with a clear public apology from the Prime Minister of Denmark.''
8. Cameraman
9. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Sheik of al-Azhar:
This law should punish all those who insult any religious figures and especially the prophets and this law should be applied to all the states which are members of the United Nations and we present this law as religious people and they have to apply this law otherwise things will get worse.''
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Bishop Karsten Nissen:
I have brought to his Excellency (Tantawi) the apology of the newspaper, but our prime minister did not draw these cartoons. Our prime minister is not the editor of this newspaper. He cannot apologise for something he did not do. It was a free newspaper in a country with free expression of the press who made it.

STORYLINE
A Danish church delegation met with the imam who heads the world's highest Sunni Muslim seat of learning in Egypt on Saturday.
Both religious leaders denounced the violent protests that have taken place over the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad which first appeared in a Danish newspaper.
But they failed to agree on a way to end the boiling crisis.
Grand Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi at al-Azhar University said the Danish prime minister must apologise for the drawings that first appeared in the Jyllands-Posten newspaper in September.
Tantawi further demanded that the world's religious leaders, including himself and Pope Benedict XVI, should meet to write a law that condemns insulting any religion, including the Holy Scriptures and the prophets.
He said the United Nations should then impose the law on all countries and punish those who do no obey.
Bishop Karsten Nissen, of Denmark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, did not address the issue of a global law forbidding insulting religions but said it
was impossible for the Danish leader, Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, to apologise for what an independent newspaper had published.
I have brought to his excellency (Tantawi) the apology of the newspaper, but our prime minister did not draw these cartoons. Our prime minister is not the editor of this newspaper. He cannot apologise for something he did not do, Nissen said.
At least 29 people have been killed in protests across the Muslim world over the past two weeks as anger over the drawings turned into violent protests, mostly against Western embassies.

SUMMARY
=======
The Confederate States of America (CSA or C.S.), commonly referred to as the Confederacy and the South, was an unrecognized country in North America that existed from 1861 to 1865. The Confederacy was originally formed by seven secessionist slave-holding states—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas—in the Lower South region of the United States, whose economy was heavily dependent upon agriculture, particularly cotton, and a plantation system that relied upon the labor of African-American slaves.Each state declared its secession from the United States, which became known as the Union during the ensuing civil war, following the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency on a platform which opposed the expansion of slavery into the western territories. Before Lincoln took office in March, a new Confederate government was established in February 1861, which was considered illegal by the government of the United States. States volunteered militia units and the new government hastened to form its own Confederate States Army from scratch practically overnight. After the American Civil War began in April, four slave states of the Upper South—Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina—also declared their secession and joined the Confederacy. The Confederacy later accepted Missouri and Kentucky as members, although neither officially declared secession nor were they ever largely controlled by Confederate forces; Confederate shadow governments attempted to control the two states but were later exiled from them.
The government of the United States (the Union) rejected the claims of secession and considered the Confederacy illegally founded. The War began with the Confederate attack upon Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, a Union fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. No foreign government officially recognized the Confederacy as an independent country, although Great Britain and France granted it belligerent status, which allowed Confederate agents to contract with private concerns for arms and other supplies. In early 1865, after four years of heavy fighting which led to 620,000–850,000 military deaths, all the Confederate forces surrendered and the Confederacy vanished. The war lacked a formal end; nearly all Confederate forces had been forced into surrender or deliberately disbanded by the end of 1865, by which point the dwindling manpower and resources of the Confederacy were facing overwhelming odds. By 1865, Jefferson Davis lamented that the Confederacy had disappeared.

SUMMARY
=======
Pennsylvania, officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a state located in the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The Appalachian Mountains run through its middle. The Commonwealth is bordered by Delaware to the southeast, Maryland to the south, West Virginia to the southwest, Ohio to the west, Lake Erie and the Canadian province of Ontario to the northwest, New York to the north, and New Jersey to the east.
Pennsylvania is the 33rd-largest state by area, and the 6th-most populous state according to the last official U.S. Census count in 2010. It is the 9th-most densely populated of the 50 states. Pennsylvania's two most populous cities are Philadelphia (1,567,872), and Pittsburgh (303,625). The state capital and its 10th largest city is Harrisburg. Pennsylvania has 140 miles (225 km) of waterfront along Lake Erie and the Delaware Estuary.The state is one of the 13 original founding states of the United States; it came into being in 1681 as a result of a royal land grant to William Penn, the son of the state's namesake. Part of Pennsylvania (along the Delaware River), together with the present State of Delaware, had earlier been organized as the Colony of New Sweden. It was the second state to ratify the United States Constitution, on December 12, 1787. Independence Hall, where the United States Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution were drafted, is located in the state's largest city of Philadelphia. During the American Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in the south central region of the state. Valley Forge near Philadelphia was General Washington's headquarters during the bitter winter of 1777–78.
