Guilford Courthouse Administrative History

CHAPTER 15:
Endnotes

1 Superintendents' Narratives in the period 1946-1953 are a virtual litany of destruction by vandals. See, for example, Raleigh C. Taylor, Monthly Narratives, 7 August 1946; 23 May 1948; 3 August 1948; 11 September 1948; 5 January 1949; 2 February 1949; 19 January 1952; 5 August 1953, Monthly Narratives File, GUCO. Early damage to the Greene Monument is documented by a 1940 photograph that clearly shows at least one-third of its bronze letters have been pried off. This was a recurring problem until modern epoxy glues were found to be more impervious to vandals. Photograph, "Monuments" Drawer, GUCO Photographic Archive; personal communication by the author with Willard W. Danielson, Greensboro, North Carolina, 16 November 1994. The purchase of Residence #2 is covered in Supra., Ch.9, n.2.

2 Eugene D. McKeown, Superintendent's Monthly Report, 11 May 1966, Superintendents' Narratives File, GUCO; Oral History interview by the author with William G. Brown, retired Maintenance Work Leader, GUCO, 26 June 1994, Greensboro, N.C.; Thomas M. Phillips to Rep. L. Richardson Preyer, 27 March 1980, Preyer Papers, ECU. This letter suggests that the problems were exacerbated in the Military Park because, unlike municipal ordinances, Federal regulations did not forbid the public consumption of alcohol.

3 Oral History interview by the author with Mark J. Corey, former Chief Ranger, GUCO, 29 June 1994, Greeneville, Tennessee. Corey candidly admitted that the situation escalated dangerously before firmer measures were adopted at the suggestion of former Ranger Duncan H. Hutchinson, GUCO.

5 The author of this study, as park Bicentennial Coordinator, negotiated a similar arrangement with Southern Bell Telephone Company to use a theme-related cover photograph on its 1981 directory, as a means of publicizing the battle of Guilford Courthouse's bicentennial. The operative theory was that this publication offered a unique opportunity to inform the entire community, consciously or subliminally, about the bicentennial commemoration.
