Description: 1955 calendar advertising and themed around Ohio author and conservation advocate Louis Bromfield's famed Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio. The full-color twelve-month calendar includes color photographs by Joe Munroe and short caption essays by Louis Bromfield. Calendar verso pages feature longer essays on the history and rehabilitation of Malabar and vignettes of farm life also written by Bromfield. The Friends of the Land Collection (1930-1960) contains the papers of the Friends of the Land (1940-1959), a prominent national soil conservation education organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. FOTL produced an international literary arts quarterly, THE LAND (edited by New Deal agriculture writer Russell Lord) in addition to several members' only publications (LAND LETTER) and informational pamphlets. They also hosted annual conferences; ran conservation tours, teacher training labs, and workshops; and operated as a national clearinghouse for conservation information. Ohio farmer and novelist Louis Bromfield was active in the organization. Much of the collection reflects the career and interests of FOTL Executive Secretary Ollie Fink, who was a prominent conservation education pioneer in Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This unidentified young woman's portrait was found on the body of Civil War soldier Thomas Kilgore. Kilgore served with the 95th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) and died in Jackson Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee on July 2, 1863 at the age of 18. An ambrotype is an early photograph created by imaging a negative on glass backed by a dark surface. This ambrotype measures 2.75" by 3" (6.99 by 7.62 cm). The 95th O.V.I. was organized at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio under Colonel William L. McMillen on August 19, 1862. The next day it proceeded to Kentucky and soon engaged in the disastrous battle at Richmond, where most of the regiment was captured. The men were exchanged in November, and until May, 1863, were kept at work in drill and reorganization. The regiment fought at Vicksburg and Nashville, formed part of an expedition marching into the interior of Mississippi, and operated in Arkansas and Missouri. It followed in the pursuit of Hood, and joined Canby at Mobile. On August 19, 1865 the regiment was mustered out after sustaining a loss of more than 500 men during its term of service.
