Notebook: In St. Augustine’s Lincolnville district, on Washington Street, we happened by St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church, founded by Ivory Barnes in 1875 in the spirit of Reconstruction, though the building is only 86 years old. A historical marker outside says the church, stately in a modest, earthy way, “stands tall as a beacon of freedom and hope.” Have a look:

I was partial to the house across the street, too, briefly thinking myself moored to a New Orleans street. It turned out to be St. Francis House, a homeless and crisis center. Bike rack, cool water tanker, sitting area. City government and police have been waging war on the  homeless. Churches have been trying to take care of them, though it’s not a fair fight. Near St. Francis House was this, a shell, to be the future home of a family shelter:

The structure may one day stands tall as a beacon, at least of hope, but for now it looks as gaunt and begging as the people it will be helping, if it’s ever built.

Now this: The crabs are disappearing (it’s getting too warm) but they’re still fishing.

All in all, it was as if a clean wind from the blue mountains had blown through this army, sweeping away weariness and doubt and restoring the spirit with which the men had first started out; restoring, for the last time in this war–perhaps for the last time anywhere that strange, magical light which rested once upon the landscape of a young and totally unsophisticated country, whose perfect embodiment the army was. In a way, this army was fighting against reality, just as was Lee’s army. The dream which possessed the land before 1861 was passing away in blood and fire. One age was ending and another was being born, with agony of dissolution and agony of birth terribly mingled; and in the Army of the Potomac–in its background, its coming together, its memories of the American life which it imagined it was fighting to preserve–there was the final expression of an era which is still part of our heritage but which is no longer a part of any living memories.

—From Bruce Catton’s Mr. Lincoln’s Army (1951).
