The findings at archaeological sites in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia are examined by Schackel (U. Maryland, College Park) to demonstrate how interest groups created an idyllic past to present to the visiting public. The shorter (52 pages) of two sections describes Harpers Ferry during the Civil War. Section two, on rebuilding Harpers Ferry after the war, examines issues of race, tourism, economic conditions, the brewery industry, the boardinghouse community, and the creation of memory by Victorian citizens. Although the lives of wealthy residents are chronicled, Shackel uses special care to recreate the history of the poor, who left less evidence for the archaeologist to interpret.

Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.
