Augustus Baldwin Longstreet was an American politician, lawyer, educator, and writer.
Longstreet received a broad education: he attended Moses Waddell Academy in Willington, South Carolina, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and Tapping Reeve Law School in Litchfield, Connecticut. He served as a Superior Court judge for the Okmulgee Judicial Circuit.
From his youth, Augustus was a prolific and active publicist. In September 1835, Longstreet published his most famous book, Scenes, Characters, Incidents in Georgia, to which poet Edgar Allan Poe gave a rave review. He later published political and religious articles. As owner and editor of the State Rights Sentinel newspaper, he used this platform to express his political views, especially in defense of slavery. Longstreet held slaveholding and secessionist views, personally owning dozens of slaves throughout his life.
Longstreet also served as president at several southern universities, including the University of Mississippi, South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina), and Emory College (now Emory University).
Alfred Jacob Miller was an American artist best known for his paintings of trappers and Native Americans in the fur trade of the western United States. He also painted numerous portraits and genre paintings in and around Baltimore during the mid-nineteenth century.
