  • 1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936
    1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936 Current Chart: 5/28/2013 The following table includes all of the homicides reported by the Buffalo Police from 1902 to 1936. An exact transcription is replicated from the yearly Annual Report Board of Police. These reports were submitted after the year had ended which allowed the police to often include information generated after the arrest. In 1927, there were two additional categories, “officers shot by crooks” and “persons shot by police.” Two of the latter resulted in fatalities. These have been included in the table. Additional information, found from other sources, follows the information supplied by the police. That information is in italics. The homicides are listed in the following manner. Before the date, a number from 1 to 638 has been placed in bold type. The date listed is when the incident that caused the homicide occurred. In a small number of incidents the death occurred on a later date. If more than one homicide occurred during the same incident, each is counted. After some of the numbers, letters appear, capitalized in bold type. If there is nothing in bold after the number, then none of the conditions mentioned below occurred. The following abbreviations have been included: HS-Homicide Suicide: The perpetrator committed suicide after killing one or more people. AS-Attempted Suicide: The perpetrator attempted to commit suicide. LEO-Law Enforcement Officer related: Either an officer was murdered or one or more citizens was killed by the police. E-Executed: The convicted murderer was put to death for the listed murder.

PREFACE N compiling this Read Genealogy, I have been in actuated part by. my . enjoyment of such work, and in part by a desire to -do something of value for the Read family to which my mother belonged, I realize, however, that it is a very incomplete book, for much that whs important has passed beyond recovery with the passing away of the older generations and their neglect of family records. If I had had larger means I might, perhaps, by expensive researches have discovered more facts and made a more perfect record. I have found the written records few and scattered, and not always correct. It has been necessary to depend much on Tradition ; but knowing the uncertainty of such evidence, I have been careful about accepting it unless well verified. I feel sure that the statements of this book can be depended on with reasonable confidence. Some of the kin- dred have helped cordially, for which I return most hearty thanks. Others have seemed indifferent and unresponsive, and if any such do not find much about their own families, they certainly will not blame me.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/history_theses Part of the United States History Commons Abstract The Professionalization of the American Army through the War of 1812 The American military tradition stretches back to the militia of England. The English colonists brought a tradition of militia service and a fear of standing armies to America. Once in America, the colonies formed their own militias, using them for defense and then later for offensive operations. At the time of the American Revolution the American colonies had to combine the militia with an army. The fear of a standing army hindered the Continental Army, and then later the American Army, from being an effective force.
