Two Lives

Submitted by Elaine Hadley on

Write three gallery pages for Mill and three for Sen, in which you provide an elaboration of an event, person, place, thing with illustrations/photos/maps or whatever visual seems relevant.  This is both a lightly archival project and a creative one.  You can look at examples of gallery pages on COVE to get some ideas about design.  Make sure to provide your source materials on the gallery pages.

Each gallery page should be between 200-300 words.  It should define/describe the event, thing, person, etc. and then provide an account of what its presence in the text accomplishes.

The Poe Museum

In 1824, during Poe’s junior color guard days, he helped escort the Revolutionary War General Marquis de Lafayette around Richmond, Virginia. Lafayette and the color guard stopped at Richmond’s Old Stone House to visit the Ege family, who had assisted in the American Revolution. While there, Poe stood guard on the front steps of the house. 98 years later, the Old Stone House became the Poe Museum.
