At the American History Museum, a Splintered Past
One day a couple of decades ago, strolling through the National Museum of American History, I came upon something astonishing: a glass case in which were preserved the remains of a tree that once stood at Spotsylvania Courthouse in Virginia but had been shredded down to a four-foot trunk by unimaginably brutal gunfire during the bloody battle there of May 1864. All the violence and insanity of warfare somehow were encapsulated in that pockmarked hunk of deadwood; it was history in the raw
Take 5 minutes to read and annotate paragraph 2 by yourself.
Turn to an elbow partner and discuss some of the things you annotated/noted
Several years later, when the same museum was according pride of exhibition place to Archie Bunker's armchair, I went back to see the tree trunk. I looked for a couple of hours, but could not find it. The memory of this fruitless quest nagged at me thereafter, and I mentioned it a few months ago in an e-mail exchange with a reader who was troubled by current trends at the museum. It's back, he replied, but you'll be surprised where you find it . . . if you find it at all.
