Organized in 1861 as the 2nd Battalion 12th Infantry, the regiment was in the Army of the Potomac and served in several engagements.

The piece of art I chose while at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts was a painting made in the 19th century by an artist named Thomas Moran, who was born in England but was an American citizen. Thomas was born in 1837 and died in 1926 at the age of 89. The painting is called Lower Manhattan from Communipaw, New Jersey, and was painted in 1880 with oil on a canvas. I think the theme of the art is history because everything in the painting shows how Manhattan operated with all of the industries and factories producing items and raw materials for business, and it shows the beginning of the pollution of our ozone layer and waters from the smoke of the factories and the garbage that was washed ashore. It also shows laborers and how they
SPINDLETOP OILFIELD. The Spindletop oilfield, discovered on a salt dome formation south of Beaumont in eastern Jefferson County on January 10, 1901, marked the birth of the modern petroleum industry. The Gladys City Oil, Gas, and Manufacturing Company, formed in August 1892 by George W. O'Brien, George W. Carroll, Pattillo Higgins, Emma E. John, and J. F. Lanier, was the first company to drill on Spindletop Hill. Three shallow attempts, beginning in 1893 and using cable-tool drilling equipment were unsuccessful; Lanier and Higgins had left the company by 1895. Anthony F. Lucas, the leading United States expert on salt dome formations, made a lease with the Gladys City Company in 1899.

He has also taught at Cambridge, Harvard and Brown. Firestone Library serves as the archival home for Fuentes' works with 200 boxes of his journals, editorials, letters to international figures, drafts of novels, notebooks from his time in elementary school, photos and audiotapes. Fuentes' long career as a diplomat and director of international cultural relations for the Mexican government put him in a position to observe the impact imperial powers had on the development of the country. Mexico became open to foreign intervention and lost half of its territory as the United States expanded across North America during the 19th century. "The Mexican Revolution was a real revolution," Fuentes said, adding that Mexicans gained "national self-knowledge" and a "discovery of cultural continuity which had never been fully recognized in the political and economic history of the country."
