 | The Siege of Santiago.
The Battles of San Juan Hill and El Carney were a success. The Americans captured the Spanish positions at both locations. On July 3, 1898, the siege of Santiago began. Company H of the Michigan 33rd was part of this. The generals figured an assault would bring massive casualties so the Americans dug in and stopped the flow of food and water into the city.
On July 4th there was a cease fire that allowed the evacuation of around 20,000 civilians. This also helped the Americans as they were able to bring in heavy weapons to support the operation. In the days that followed the Spanish took heavy casualties from Gatling guns, mortars and field artillery. On July 13th meetings began to discuss the terms of surrender. The Spanish would eventually agree to the term capitulation. The United States flag was raised over the fort at Santiago on July 17th. This picture misidentifies the date as the 13th.

 | The Souvenir Hallmark.

 | The Souvenir Idea.
Around 1894, the Brothers hired traveling salesmen specifically to market souvenir china wholesale to stores. Initially this happened in Illinois and nearby states but, eventually it would spread coast to coast. The salesmen carried pattern books that listed hundreds of varieties of pieces that were available.
Once the merchant selected a piece a scenic photo was sent to the European potteries which reproduced them as black decals. Workers applied the decal to the porcelain before the initial firing. The picture was then hand colored. Depending on the piece there may have been other hand painted decorations as well as lettering identifying the scene. Once the piece was fired the picture became a permanent decoration.
Latter when the technology had advanced far enough the decals were made in color eliminating the need for hand coloring.

 | The Swett-Ilsley House
The house's original section was built in 1670 by Stephen Swett, who was one of Newbury's first settlers. The house is believed to be the oldest surviving house in the region. In 1911 it was the first property acquired by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA) (now known as Historic New England). Over the years the building served as a tavern, chocolate shop, chandlery, and press room. Its location on Newbury’s most traveled road made it a very desirable piece of property. It has one of the largest fireplaces in New England, more than ten feet wide, and containing three beehive ovens.

 | The TABASCO® Trademark
In 1870 Edmund obtained a patent for his sauce. The protection granted the family ran out is 1887. Competitors were quick to pounce including an ex-McIlhenny Company employee, B.F. Trappey, who was making sauce with seeds he took from his employers.
in 1905, Congress passed the act providing for federal registration of trademarks. The McIlhennys were quick to jump on this and they were granted a trademark on the term Tabasco. Competitors cried foul and accused the McIlhennys of using John's friendship with Roosevelt to curry special treatment. In 1909 the government withdrew the trademark.
Many costly court battles later, on July 29, 1918, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined the McIlhenny Company had the exclusive right to sell pepper sauce with the mark “Tabasco.”
There is no rest though. The pepper sauce wars continue. In 1966 the McIlhenny Company was granted protection for the shape of their bottle and in 1991 after some interim owners they bought what was left of Trappey's company.

 | The Union forces had to cross the Potomic River To get to the site of the Battle of Ball's Bluff. When they were pushed back there were too few boats to handle the retreat and the boats that were there were quickly overloaded and swamped. 223 Union soldiers were killed, 226 were wounded, and 553 were captured. Numbers that dwarf the losses suffered by the Confederate forces that day.
