H. Beers Publishing Company believed this dictum, and they produced this extensive collection of biographical sketches as a result. Each of the three Wisconsin counties is covered in turn, and the sketches are \"of prominent and representative citizens, and of many of the early settled families.\" An index of over 1,250 names guides the reader through the collection. A sampling of the most prevalent names: Anderson, Bailey, Becker, Black, Bowen, Briggs, Buck, Callahan, Cleeremans, Davis, Hansen, Johnson, Johnston, Jones, Kimball, Knapstein, McMurdo, Martin, Miller, Schmit, Schneider, Smith, Webster, Williams and Wright. Most of the nearly 1,000 subjects were still alive at the time of the original publication, so the majority of the biographies focus on the mid to late 1800s. Many of the subjects are first or second generation immigrants, and usually the sketches include the country of origin, the names of parents and siblings, and the date and place of immigration. The subject's spouse and children are always recorded, and whenever possible a little biographical information about them is included as well. The heart of each sketch, however, is the recounting of the subject's path to prominence and distinction. Portraits of many of the men and women are featured.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ. H.

This narrative details some remarkable incidents of the war and, as such, serves the dual role of entertainment and historical record as presented through personal experience. Fox's father was a tailor, and being poor and having a large family, he thought it best to send young Ebenezer to a local farmer where he could work and earn his own keep. There he stayed for five years. As time wore on, however, Ebenezer began to feel he was being unjustly used by the farmer. Figuring to put an end to his oppression, he set out for Providence, Rhode Island with hopes of grand adventures on the high seas. What follows is an account of Fox's life as a cabin boy, a replacement soldier and finally as a sailor aboard an American fighting vessel. He recounts his days with remarkable detail including vivid accounts of the battles he was a part of and his encounters with some of the more famous people of his time such as John Paul Jones and John Foster Williams. He also sheds a striking light on his sufferings aboard the Old Jersey Prison-Ship and how he effected his escape; truly a remarkable tale of a young patriot and his country's fight for freedom. The book has an appendix containing information on the activities of some of the book's characters after the war as well as verses to a popular song and an explanation of some of the terms that may not be familiar to the reader.

The James brothers' parents were Kentuckians who moved to Clay County, Missouri, where Jesse was born, and he and his brother Frank joined Confederate guerrillas, Quantrill's Raiders, in the Civil War. In 1866 James formed a robber band, robbing banks and eventually trains in Missouri and nearby states. In the time the gang existed, it made off with an estimated total of $500,000. It was said that Jesse was \"chivalrous to women and good to the old and poor,\" which earned him a Robin Hood reputation. Using the name Tom Howard, he died in St. Joseph, Missouri, at the hands of Robert Ford, a member of his band.

She saw the mode of transportation evolve from horse and carriage, and trolley cars, to the variety of vehicles involved in the congested traffic of the 1980s. The daughter of former slaves, she attended Washington's prestigious M Street (later Dunbar) High School and became an accomplished pianist, composer, and music teacher. In her youth, she heard tales of slavery from the mouths of former slaves. She attended the funeral of Frederick Douglass in 1895 and witnessed the Washington Race Riot of 1919. She participated in the March on Washington in 1963, and experienced, in her lifetime, the growth and death of segregation in the District of Columbia. Her first husband was the eminent poet and minister James David Corrothers. After his premature death, she married a second time to Berthea Johnson Tucker, a Pullman Porter, and in 1925 she helped to found the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters, the first successful African-American labor union in the United States. For most of its existence, she served as Secretary-Treasurer of its Ladies Auxiliary. For many years an elder at Washington's Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, she was also active in civic and community work. As she approached her hundredth birthday, she became a national celebrity, giving lectures and making appearances on television, recounting her years as a labor and civil rights activist. A year before her death at 1987, she was participating in a picket of a local supermarket. \"Although I live far removed from the time I was born, I do not feel that my heart should dwell in the past.

In early 1782, twenty-six year old Lieutenant Colonel Lee commanded a legion of mounted and dismounted dragoons that had just completed a spectacular year of military service in the South. Lee's efforts in 1781, in conjunction with General Greene and the American southern army, resulted in the British loss of most of South Carolina and Georgia. Over the course of 1781, Lee and his legion, often detached from Greene's army, helped screen Greene's desperate retreat to Virginia and then, a few weeks later, captured or destroyed numerous enemy outposts and detachments in South Carolina and Georgia. Lee and his legion played a crucial role in the bloody battles of Guilford Courthouse and Eutaw Springs and the sieges of Augusta and Ninety-Six.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary service of Lee and his men in 1781 capped what had already been five years of distinguished military service for Lee. He had reported to General Washington's army as a twenty year old cavalry captain in 1777 and quickly earned a reputation as a bold commander. Lee's daring exploits at Valley Forge, Powles Hook and Springfield, like his extraordinary service in the south, are all chronicled within this book. Readers will undoubtedly conclude that Lee made the right decision when he declined General Washington's invitation in 1778 to join his staff as an aide-de-camp with the assertion that, \"I am wedded to my sword.\" Illustrations, maps, a bibliography and an index to names, places and subjects enhance the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Cecere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2012, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 310 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788453915\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-C5391\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41279470352,"sku":"101-C5391","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-c5391.png?v=1728590337"},{"product_id":"101-w5473","title":"Thomas A.

Both men commanded provincial units; Washington led Virginians and Mercer, Pennsylvanians. Unlike Washington, however, Mercer was not a native of the American colonies. He fled to Pennsylvania from Scotland in 1746 after the Battle of Culloden (part of an unsuccessful Scottish uprising against King George II). Mercer, who had studied medicine in Scotland, settled in the Pennsylvania frontier to avoid possible arrest for his participation at Culloden. When the French and Indian War erupted nearly a decade later, Mercer's neighbors tapped him to command a company of militia. Mercer quickly rose in the ranks and eventually commanded a battalion of Pennsylvania provincial soldiers as well as the garrison at Fort Pitt (captured Fort Duquesne). After seven years of military service, Mercer was discharged from the Pennsylvania Regiment in 1761 and settled in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He married, raised a family, and established a very successful medical practice. When the decade-long political dispute with Great Britain turned violent in 1775, Virginia's political leaders considered Hugh Mercer for command of one of Virginia's two regiments of regular troops. After two close ballots, the Virginia Convention opted instead to appoint Virginia natives Patrick Henry and William Woodford to command. Mercer was selected a few months later to command the 3rd Virginia Regiment, but six months after his appointment, the Continental Congress elevated him to the rank of Brigadier General in the Continental Army and he left Virginia to assume command of the newly formed Flying Camp in New Jersey. While he served in the northern theatre, Mercer played a critical role in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, two battles that helped save the American army and American independence. Sadly, General Mercer did not live to see the victorious end to America's struggle; he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Princeton in 1777.

One of the first to answer the Continental Congress's call for troops in 1775, Morgan led a company of hardy Virginia riflemen to Boston, marching nearly 600 miles in just three weeks. Within a month of his arrival, Morgan and his riflemen joined Colonel Benedict Arnold on an epic march through the wilderness of Maine and Canada to attack the British stronghold of Quebec. When Arnold was wounded in the pre-dawn attack on the fortress city, Morgan stepped forward to command. Alas, the attack on Quebec failed and after eight months of captivity, Morgan was exchanged and back with the American army.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis heroic deeds at Quebec earned him a promotion to colonel and the notice of General Washington, who placed Morgan in command of 500 select riflemen. Morgan and his riflemen performed brilliantly in two fierce battles at Saratoga in the fall of 1777 and, after the American victory there, rejoined General Washington's army at Valley Forge. Morgan was respected throughout the army, but General Washington's failure to select Morgan to lead the newly organized corps of light infantry in 1779 prompted the aggrieved hero of Quebec and Saratoga to resign his commission in protest. Congress refused to accept Morgan's resignation, however, and instead placed him on indefinite furlough. This abruptly ended in 1780 when British success in the South brought Morgan back to the battlefield, this time as a newly promoted brigadier-general. Detached by General Nathanael Greene as an independent command, Morgan attracted the notice of the British in South Carolina, who moved to trap and destroy Morgan and his detachment of light infantry.

In charge of harbor improvements in Savannah, he changed the depth and course of the Savannah River to allow unprecedented import and export of goods. The citizens of Savannah admired him and grieved when he was posted as military attache to London. In 1897, the army summoned him back to Savannah to face charges that he and two civilian conspirators had defrauded the federal government of millions of dollars by fixing the bidding process upon which the corps of engineers awarded contracts.

Best known as the \"first citizen\" of the historic community of Carlisle, and as the \"hero of Kittanning,\" John Armstrong was in fact a giant of the colonial times. He was Scotch-Irish and the chief surveyor for the Proprietary Penns. He blazed the road for Braddock, and, after the raid on Kittanning, he headed up the defense of the Pennsylvania frontier as a builder and the administrator of the \"ring of forts,\" and as commander of the militia. At the same time, he applauded the Penn family policy of purchase and regularly removed \"squatters\" from the Indian lands. He commanded the Pennsylvania militia for the year-long Forbes Campaign, and led his own expedition to the Great Island on the Susquehanna. One of the very first of the brigadier generals to be commissioned, he served the Continental Army before assuming, as major general, the command of the entire Pennsylvania militia forces for the early years of the Revolution. He commanded troops at Charleston, Brandywine, Germantown, and Whitemarsh. A very close friend and confidant to George Washington for forty years, he assisted him in the acquisition of Pennsylvania land, and helped to persuade him to accomplish the writing of the Constitution, and to accept the presidency. For two terms, General Armstrong represented the Quaker state in the Continental Congress. He proved an energetic force in the growth of the Presbyterian Church of Pennsylvania, and, with Benjamin Rush and John Montgomery, founded Dickinson College, the first college to be created in the United States.

In January of 1813, Senator Stephen Rowe Bradley retired from the Senate and returned to Westminster, withdrawing completely from politics. Congressman William Czar Bradley made his appearance in Washington, D.C., at this same time to serve the first of three non-consecutive terms as a representative of Vermont.

They were assembled into a collection because the originals are scattered throughout numerous libraries. Ninety-six presidential letters and twenty letters between Secretary of State John Q.

This narrative details some remarkable incidents of the war and as such serves the dual role of entertainment and historical record as presented through personal experience. Fox's father was a tailor, and being poor and having a large family, he thought it best to send young Ebenezer to a local farmer where he could work and earn his own keep. There he stayed for five years. As time wore on, however, Ebenezer began to feel he was being unjustly used by the farmer. Figuring to put an end to his oppression, he set out for Providence, Rhode Island with hopes of grand adventures on the high seas. What follows in an account of Fox's life as a cabin boy, a replacement soldier and finally as a sailor aboard an American fighting vessel. He recounts his days with remarkable detail including vivid accounts of the battles he was a part of and his encounters with some of the more famous people of his time such as John Paul Jones and John Foster Williams. He also sheds a striking light on his sufferings aboard the Old Jersey Prison-Ship and he effected his escape. Truly a remarkable tale of a young patriot and his country's fight for freedom.

This periodical was published quarterly between July of 1903 and April of 1910 in twenty-six issues under the auspices of the New Hampshire Genealogical Society. It contains a wealth of extremely valuable source material, but until now has been so rare and difficult to find, that it has not been widely known or used. These volumes contain vital records, land grants, lists of town officers, some cemetery inscriptions, several genealogies, tax lists, informative queries and answers, book reviews, obituaries, and more. As it originally was issued, this periodical had a complete, annual name index in the fourth issue of each volume. Since many of the articles were carried forward from issue to issue and volume to volume, this made it necessary to search through six different indexes which was a tedious process. In this new reprint edition all the individual indexes have been replaced with a single, master index to the entire set. This index was compiled many years ago by some unknown person, and has been available to researchers at the New Hampshire Historical Society Library, but has not previously been published. It is presented here courtesy of the Library, and will greatly facilitate the use of this valuable resource. This CD contains all seven volumes: Volume 1, 1903-1904; Volume 2, 1904-1905; Volume 3, 1905-1906; Volume 4, 1907; Volume 5, 1908; Volume 6, 1909; Volume 7, 1910; each individually presented with the master index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published.

Part One, the introduction, provides an overview of the family, the estate, and their domestic and religious life, their travels, their superstitions, Cunningham's position as Commissioner to the Convention of Estates and as a member of the Scottish Parliament and the Cunningham Genealogy. Part Two, the diary, provides notes in William's own hand and Part Three lists expenditures from 1673-1680. An appendix shows the rental of parcels of land and a glossary provides definitions of commonly used terms.

His British Legion, popularly known as the \"Green Horse\" or \"Tarleton's Legion,\" was an extremely mobile military formation, consisting of both cavalry and light infantry. It participated in most of the major engagements fought in the Southern theater and its Loyalist members committed frequent excesses on and off the battlefield. For Tarleton, suppressing the rebellion was a \"disagreeable exertion of authority.\" To the Rebels, the Legionnaire too often \"discriminated with severity.\" Historian Christopher Ward, in his classic \u003cem\u003eThe War of the Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e (1952), asserts that the Englishman \"was shrewd, sudden, and swift to strike\" and had no equal for \"dash, daring, and vigor of attack.\" Yet, \"as a man, he was cold-hearted, vindictive, and utterly ruthless,\" and \"he wrote his name in letters of blood\" for posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is more than a mere reassessment of Banastre Tarleton and the British Legion in the Southern campaigns. Present-day Americans have an image of the dragoon leader as \"Bloody Tarleton\" and they do not question its validity. The author attempts to dispel that misconception by first introducing his readers to the myth-making process in American history and then providing objective background information on Tarleton's early career and his command's formation and structure. The campaign activities of the Legion and how the regiment conducted itself in battle as well as in bivouac influenced how contemporaries perceived the Green Horse. Tarleton employed a more brutal version of virtue than his American counterparts, and it is this \"brutal virtue\" that has dictated the course of American historiography and the legacy of \"Bloody Tarleton.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConsequently, the author focuses on two areas where Tarleton and his men have received the most condemnation: the lack of discipline and the use of terror. The book concludes with a summary of the Englishman's postwar career and a judgment on the myth and reality of Tarleton and his unit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Scotti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2002), 2008, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 314 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788420993\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-S2099\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32088185872,"sku":"101-S2099","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-s2099.png?v=1727801553"},{"product_id":"101-cd3683","title":"CD-A Pioneer of 1850, George Willis Read, 1819-1880","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe record of a journey overland from Independence, Missouri, to Hangtown (Placerville), California, in the spring of 1850, with a letter from the Diggings in October of the same year and an account of a journey from New York to California via Panama, in 1862, capture by the Confederate raider \"Alabama\", etc., and a visit to the Nevada silver mining district in 1863\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is a record of a journey overland from Independence, Missouri, to Hangtown (Placerville), California, in the spring of 1850, with a letter from the Diggings in October of the same year and an account of a journey from New York to California, via Panama, in 1862, capture by the Confederate raider, \u003cem\u003eAlabama\u003c\/em\u003e, and a visit to the Nevada silver mining district in 1863.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author's father was well suited to keep a \"dispassionate appraisal of the journey.

In this book we find a fascinating study of pioneer life, and unusual insight into the language struggle of the early Lutheran Church. After graduating from the University of Halle, Germany, in 1826, Wilhelm left his native country and family at the age of 22 to seek a new life in America. Following older siblings, he settled in Philadelphia for a brief period before moving on to Ohio. He became one of the four founders of the town of Winnesburg in Holmes County. There he helped to establish a community of German and Swiss settlers and served as their pastor. Later, while serving as a pastor to a congregation in Canton, Ohio, in 1830, he founded the first Lutheran seminary west of the Allegheny Mountains. One year later, the seminary was moved to Columbus, Ohio, where it still is today. This book is important for its unique insight into the language struggle in the Lutheran Church early on, when the majority of its parishioners spoke German in a primarily English-speaking country. During his lifetime, Wilhelm Schmidt was an influential member of the Lutheran clergy and, as founder of the seminary, he played a key role in the heated language discussions within the Ohio synod of the Lutheran church.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusanne A.

He served on General McClellan's staff and later commanded the volunteers in the defense of York County during the Gettysburg Campaign. On July 29, 1863, Major Haller's twenty-three-year military career came to a halt when he learned that he had been dismissed for disloyal conduct and sentiments. His accuser, Lieutenant Clark Wells, was a naval officer who had spent several months in an insane asylum and had only met Haller during the Fredericksburg campaign. Inquiries to the War Department requesting a copy of his dismissal proceedings were returned unanswered. Unable to obtain a Court of Inquiry, Haller moved to Washington Territory where he spent the next sixteen years trying to restore his name.

He served on the Massachusetts Governor's Council for thirty-two years, the last eighteen as chairman. He was a judge with no legal training.
