The modest wooden frame plantation house was built in the late-18th century, and consists of a -story, three-bay, original main house, extended by the later addition of one-story wings. Little of the original fabric remains.</p><br>
<p>There is a strong local oral tradition that the property was the birth site of Lott Cary (1780–1828), a slave held by planter John Bowry, who owned the house. After being hired out in Richmond, Virginia, Cary bought his freedom and that of his children. He had been promoted to supervise tobacco workers and also served as a shipping clerk. In the state capital he became a Baptist minister and lay physician, and learned to read and write. He emigrated to the new Colony of Liberia in Africa in 1821, where he helped develop it. He established the first church in Monrovia, and set up Christian schools for natives in the interior. He also served several months in 1828 as acting governor.</p><br>
<p>At the time of Carys birth in 1780, this house served as the residence of Carys master John Bowry, whose plantation comprised more than 600 acres. Cary was most likely born in slave quarters near the house, but no dependencies remain on the property.</p><br>

<p>Dogham Farm, previously known as Doggams, is a historic home and farm located in Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. In 1642, Joseph Royall patented 600 acres on the north side of the James River in Charles City County. The plantation he named "Doggams" later became known as "Dogham" in the 18th century. Following the death of Joseph Royall, his widow married Henry Isham. Dogham is notable not only for its antiquity but also for its continuous ownership and occupation by the same family - the property remains in the Royall and Isham lines today.</p><br>
<h2>Home & Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Dogham is representative of the simple houses that abounded in the Virginia Colonial period. The house is a rambling -story frame structure, roughly L-shaped in plan. The original section is a typical Virginia vernacular three-bay I-house with three dormer windows on each side of a gable roof between exterior end chimneys. This central portion consists of an entrance hall, dining room, upstairs bedroom, and basement below (former kitchen), each with a fireplace. The Royall family thought this to be built in 1652, however architectural historians from Colonial Williamsburg believe it was likely built after 1700. Additional expansions occurred in the early 1700s.</p><br>
<p>Major restorations in the mid-19th century include many of the present architectural details. In 1941, the house was expanded, adding a kitchen wing, children&#39;s dining room, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and game and service rooms. The Charles Gillette-planned garden was also developed at this time.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Also located on the property is a contributing farm complex with two cottages and a garage-shop, all built in the 1940s, and a chicken house, stable, and barn built in the 1930s. The property also includes a family cemetery and the remains of a brick manufactory that operated from the 1840s to the 1890s.</p><br>
<h2>Historical Context</h2><br>
<p>Situated between Malvern Hill and Berkeley Plantation, Dogham was inevitably involved in the Civil War. In 1862, USA General McClellan made his headquarters in a gunboat on the James River, several hundred yards from Dogham&#39;s bluffs. Charles City tax records for 1865 carry a notation that Dogham taxes were reduced due to war-time damages.</p><br>
<p>Plowed fields frequently yield arrowheads, bullets, shell fragments, buttons and other artifacts.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>Today, Dogham Farm comprises 750 acres and is on the National Register of Historic Places, and Virginia Landmarks Register. As a Virginia Century Farm, Dogham is protected from future development by a conservation easement held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the James River Association.</p><br>

<p>Originally part of William Byrd IIs expansive Westover Plantation and named for Byrds daughter, Evelyn, Evelynton has been home to the Ruffin family since 1847.</p><br>
<p>The family patriarch, Edmund Ruffin, is often credited with firing the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter. His earlier agricultural contributions, from scientific soil testing to the publication of The Farmer&#39;s Register helped rescue 19th-century Virginia from a declining agricultural economy, and earned him the title "father of American agronomy."</p><br>
<p>Evelynton was the site of fierce Civil War skirmishes in 1862, when General George McClellan waged his destructive Peninsula Campaign; J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson and John Pelham led the Southern offensive in the Battle of Evelynton Heights.</p><br>
<p>The original house and out-buildings were burned during that conflict, and the current residence was erected two generations later by Edmund Ruffins great grandson, John Augustine Ruffin Jr. and his wife Mary Ball Saunders. In 1937, Ruffin contracted architect W. Duncan Lee to build a new house. Lee had completed a restoration of Carters Grove in Williamsburg, overseen the expansion of the Virginia Governors mansion, and designed fourteen of the stately homes along Monument Avenue. Lee&#39;s Colonial Revival mansion was built near the earlier house. The Lee-designed mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion and grounds were sold out of the Ruffin family after the death of Mr. Edmund Ruffin Saunders. The 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) farm is still family-owned and operated.</p><br>

<p>Deer Medicine Rocks  is a sandstone formation located on the west bank of Rosebud Creek in the vicinity of Lame Deer, Montana, United States. The formation is significant for its association with the Great Sioux War of 1876-77, and its connection with Sitting Bull&#39;s visionary sun dance of early June 1876 which prophesied victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. At its nomination to National Historic Landmark status in 2011, it was described as the only site to offer "a wholly Native American historical interpretation of the Battle of the Little Big Horn."</p><br>
<p>This is located on private property and you need a tribal member to take you there.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Deer Medicine Rocks are located on the west bank of Rosebud Creek. They are formed out of a sandstone promontory originally part of the hills that rise west of the creek, with erosive forces removing the intervening material. The formation rises about 50 ft above the surrounding terrain. The surfaces at its base have numerous rock art panels. Expert opinion is divided on the ages of much of this artwork, with age ranges proposed from 1000 to 4000 years ago. Some of the artwork is clearly post-contact origin, depicting cowboys, horses, and guns. The panels depict themes and images common to other rock art sites found throughout the region.</p><br>
<p>One particular panel shows soldiers with long grasshopper legs falling into a camp. This is interpreted by the Lakota and Cheyenne as showing the vision of Sitting Bull in which he predicted the victory at Little Big Horn during a sun dance held here. The sun dance took place during a major encampment that probably involved more than 3,000 Native Americans from several tribal groups. The Deer Medicine Rocks are the first National Historic Landmark designated for its association with the Great Sioux War that is not a battlefield, and the first to provide a distinctly native view of the campaign.</p><br>

<p>Casa Barranca, more commonly referred to as Charles M. Pratt House, near Ojai, California is a historic Arts and Crafts-style house that was built in 1909 as a winter home for industrialist Charles Millard Pratt. It is one of the "ultimate bungalows" designed by architects Charles and Henry Greene of Greene and Greene.</p><br>
<p>It is a unique house, built for a client with "unlimited resources" in a rural location that allowed the architects to place the house "in a truly natural setting&quot this "was the fulfillment of a lifelong interest of the architects." With the building site chosen within the original 14 acre parcel, an adjacent 38-acre parcel was purchased to preserve "the all important viewshed to which the house is directed." The combination of factors allowed the work to be created very consistently with intended principles of the Arts and Crafts movement. The structure and cladding of the building are almost completely honest and devoid of mannered veneers and false beams contained in the other "ultimate bungalows". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. As of the listing, the house and views are perfectly preserved.</p><br>
<p>The Pratts partially owned the nearby Foothills Hotel, which they could use for entertaining, so "they only needed the house to serve as “sleeping quarters” and family relaxation."</p><br>
