"Hampton, Va. View of Grounds-Hampton Institute"

Description: "View of Grounds--Hampton Institute. The Hampton Institute was opened in April 1868 under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, with Gen. S. C. Armstrong in charge. In 1876 it was chartered by a special act of the General Assembly of Virginia and thus became independent of church organization; its doors are open to Indian pupils and the children of ex-slaves."
