No real effort has ever been made to trace his relatives or the McCallum Clan in Scotland; however, it seems proper to state that there are two theories regarding the Clan McCallum. The first theory is that it was a sept of the Clan McCampbell and was originally called McCampbellmore (More Campbells) this being shortened to MacCallum or McCallum. The second theory is that the McCallum Clan was a sept of the Clan McLeod of Lewis and that the Clan McCallum lived on the Island of Raasay, which is about fifty miles from the Island of Lewis, the home of the Clan McLeod. The Clan McCallum was a small clan in Argyllshire and was an offshoot of the McCallums of Raasay. This Argyllsbire Clan became extinct and was succeeded by another branch who took the name Malcolmson and has been known by that name since 1779. The emigrant Daniel McCallum was born in 17 40 and his family may have been among the last of that name in Argyllshire. The Clan McCallum were Highland Covenanters and their devotion and loyalty to the history and traditions of that fascinating land of Robert Bruce and William Wallace has been note\!orthy. Following the defeat of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" at the Battle of Culledon in 17 46 and the disarmament of the Highlanders, they were disheartened and discouraged and petitioned the Crown for the privilege of colonizing in America. This petition was granted with the stipulation that they must take oath not again to bear arms against the English Crown. These Covenanters were conscientious and consistent in recognizing the sanctity of the oath, hence there are very few Macs enrolled in the Revolutionary Army; however, in some cases the oppression and brut­ ality of the British troops were such that some of the emigrants felt that the Crown had broken its part of the agreement and they were no longer bound. The oath not to bear arms was not construed as preventing acts of sabotage and North Carolina history is replete with accounts of assistance given the Revolutionary Army by these Highlanders. The emigrants usually landed in the vicinity of Wilmington - then known as Scotland Neck - and made their way up the Cape Fear River and settled in the territory then included in Bladen County, North Carolina. Amongst these early settlers we find the names McMillan, Gilchrist, McKay, McAllister, Smith, Little, Brown, McLauchlin, McNeill and Sellars - names you will very often find in this compilation. Daniel McCallum, the subject of this compilation, is credited with having told some of his children: "My grandfather, ___ McCallum, was born about the middle of the Seventeenth Century and his wife was a McEwen. My father, Archibald McCallum, was born in 1690 in Kenteyre, Argyllshire, Scotland and married Effie McCarter. I had several brothers and one sister, all the brothers dying young. I was born in 1740. The family was part of the Clan Campbell and were from Campbelltown". (The London Times Atlas shows Campbelltown to be the principal city in Kenteyre) . There is little to be added. to this statement except that Archibald McCallum died about 1750 and his wife, nee Effie McCarter, died about 1760 in Kenteyre. There is no known record showing information regarding his brothers or sister or other relatives; however, mention is made later on of certain McCallums who came to North Carolina about 1770_ The name was spelled McColom, MCollom, McCollum, McCollom and McCallum by some of the early members; however, the gravestones of Daniel and his wife show Mccallum and this is the spelling now used by his descend­ ants.

COAT-OF-ARMS of the McCALLUM FAMILY In heraldic terms, the coat-of-arms of this family is given as follows: "Argent a saltire azure between four heads couped gules." When this is translated into non-technical terms, it means that on a field of silver is superimposed a blue saltire or St. Andrews Cross between four red bucks' heads depicted as having been cut off smoothly from the body. The symbolism used in this coat-of-arms is explained as follows: Among the Ordinaries of Heraldry, the saltire is most significant. It may be described as a diagonal cross. "The saltire or St. Andrews Cross," writes one authority, "is a symbol of resolution." Tradition has it that St. Andrew suffered martyrdom upon a cross similar to the saltire. The bucks have broad and palm-like horns. In Heraldry, they are classified among the stags 2.lld one authority states that "the stag, whose gait and appearance is very sta.tely1 has above others two excellent qualities, namely, quickness of

  • Rrs, Herman Haupt and Gettysburg
    Railroads, Herman Haupt, and the Battle of Gettysburg Steve Ditmeyer Principal Transportation Technology and Economics Bull Run Civil War Round Table Public Library, Centerville, VA May 14, 2020 US Railroads just before the Civil War The Union had 20,500 miles of railroad track, and the railroads actually formed a network. The Confederacy had 9,500 miles of railroad track, originally built from fields to seaports, and had only limited interconnections. Some historians believe that the Confederacy would have had a better chance of breaking up the Union by force of arms had it attempted to do so a decade earlier, before the Union had built its railroad network. Herman Haupt: The Pre-War Years - 1 Haupt was born in Philadelphia in 1817 and raised there. He graduated from West Point at age 18 in 1835, in the same class as George Meade, with an engineering degree, and they were commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the US Army. The two cadets gained reputations for being highly competent but difficult to deal with. Haupt resigned his commission after 3 months to go to work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a surveyor for what was to become the Gettysburg Railroad. In 1841, he became a professor of mathematics and civil engineering at Pennsylvania College in Gettysburg; resigned in 1848 to join the Pennsylvania RR where he became chief engineer in 1853. On the PRR, he designed bridges and tunnels and oversaw construction of its main line across Pennsylvania between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Herman Haupt: The Pre-War Years - 2 Haupt left the Pennsylvania RR in 1856 to join the project to build the 5-mile Hoosac Tunnel through the Hoosac Mountain Range in northwestern Massachusetts on the Troy & Greenfield RR.

  • Pollux's Spears
    Pollux’s Spears SARAH NICHOLS It soon became clear to me that it was impossible to render understandable the concentration and interconnections, in other words the anatomy of imperialism, without using the graphical method of which I became one of the rare specialists worldwide. 1 Cement is the binding agent for concrete. A homogenous, low- value, perishable bulk commodity, it is the constant in reinforced concrete. 2 But a trio of graphics, published in 1946, depicts it as another sort of binder, one gluing a whole swath of the build - ing material industry into a conglomerate. An array of building materials is shown framed by cement—or, rather, by the network of companies that produce it. 3 The three graphics are the center - piece of an exposé titled The Cement and Building Material Trust published under the pseudonym “Pollux,” after the mytho - logical twin, positioning the unmasking of corporate-political power structures as a heroic act. 4 At the time of publication, the author’s real identity remained unknown. The Swiss conserv - ative press doggedly attacked Pollux’s work and attempted to smear any number of figures by accusing them of being behind the moniker. 5 Finally in 1953, with palpable satisfaction, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung unmasked Pollux, revealing that while his work had been published in Social Democratic and pro- union periodicals, the author not only held communist sympa - thies—an association Social Democrats were taking pains to disavow—but had defected to East Germany. Behind Pollux was Georges Baehler, a hydroelectric engineer who had worked for eighteen years in Switzerland, France, and Morocco before switching to his particular form of economic research.

  • The Currency Revolution in Southern Nigeria 1880- 1948
    Walter Ibekwe Ofonagoro - 1- THE CURRENCY REVOLUTION IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA 1880- 1948 By: Walter Ibekwe Ofonagoro OCCASIONAL PAPER NO.14 African Studies Center University of California, Los Angeles July 1976 Walter Ibekwe Ofonagoro - 2- Between 1880 and 1948 the British Government replaced the pre-existing currencies of Southern Nigeria with British currency. There is, as yet, no satisfactory comprehensive explanation of the manner in which this important change was effected, and of its impact on the Southern Nigerian economy and society. Much has, however been written on the subject. 1 Of these, the contributions of G.I. Jones and A. G. Hopkins are easily the most valuable in the degree to which they help to explain the working of the pre- existing currencies, or the manner in which such currencies were replaced. A. H. M. Kirk- Greene's article is useful in the information it provides regarding the nature and distribution of the major currencies in Nigerian history. His explanation of the manner of their disappearance, like Marion Johnson's, is essentially unsatisfactory. Kirk-Greene suggests that "the Nigerian cowrie died a natural death, brought about by a demand for a more portable medium of exchange" and that "by 1923, they had entirely vanished from the main centers of trade". 2 Kirk-Greene accepted at face value the assertion by Assistant Resident Kisch of Northern Nigeria in 1910 to the effect that British currency was already popular at that time because cowries were cumbersome, 150 mean being required to carry £ 100 worth of them. 3 Marion Johnson, on the other hand, claimed that the demonetization of cowries by legislation in 1904 was a superfluous exercise, "a classic case of closing the stable door after the horse has gone".
