RE: Surratt Courier
I am miserable with points of the compass directions unless I'm facing north or south, but I believe that the Garrett homestead faced north. Therefore, the post marking the northwest corner of the porch would be to the far right of this photo. The kitchen ell (or what is almost a lean-to) was on the northeast gable end.
And speaking of the current Courier: I must apologize for the amount of typos that sneaked (I used to say snuck) through in this issue. It has been a hectic few months at the museum, and those who know where my office is know that it sits literally in the intersection of the visitors' center with no doors (just arches) to shut me in. Trying to compose text or cut and paste and watch for others' errors can be a chore sometimes. A few of you know that I have one big hang-up in getting the correct spelling of one particular word. It is a word that has two meanings, two spellings, but one pronunciation. I often substitute "womb" for "wound," and I did it again in the article about Belle Grove Plantation -- referring to Col. Conger having "painful war wombs" instead of "painful war wounds." Okay, you can stop laughing now! No transgender surgery was done on the colonel... |
