The perusal of this dull subject is not a pleasant or · interesting study, for it is hard to get the people much interested in names the remembrance of which has long since passed away in the dim dis­ tance of relentless time. The preservation of pedigree, however, is not a mere pastime of the idle and curious-it is the pr.oper employment of the historian, for it has always found a place in true history and is usually the thread upon which is strung the events of centuries. The Jewish historian Jo­ sephus regarded genealogical study as of the greatest importance and it was established as a positive duty upon every Levite in the Temple, 2 GENEALOGY OF OUR BALDWIN FAMILY. and the whole structure of Christianity is based on the well established ancestry of its f ounda­ tion. America's greatest citizens have not failed to declare their pride .of birth. Garfield delighted to dwell on this. Samuel Tilden found leisure for such investigations, while Daniel Webster regarded the study of ancestry as a bounden duty. However indifferent some may affect to be regarding this vital question, experience of hu­ man nature serves to substantially prove that those who really have a pedigree will boast of it, while only those who cannot perhaps trace their grandfather will condemn such as frivolous and foolish. When it is understood that there was only a small population in the whole of the United States in the year 1776, exclusive of slaves and Indians, it will be seen that but a small portion of the present population can claim the h.onor which we enjoy of being descended from the original stock of New England settlers, which, it has been claimed, contained some of the very choicest and best blood of the Old World. INTRODUCTION. 3 The voices of the past may sound all too in­ distinct as they come to us in names and dates alone of men and events in which they have taken a part ; but even then silence is eloquent when refreshed by imagination and here we may see these ancestors of ours step out of the pages .of history having actual flesh and blood, with color in their cheeks, thoughts in their minds and power in their hands to battle for the glorious principles of the right. Our destinies appear today within us to under­ stand with intelligence accompanied with power and, while we reverence all that was great and good in our ancestors in the dim past, we should not linger there forgetful of our future, but, as voyagers in a new land of promise, know our future as a duty and meet our favored condition of existence with earnest action. I humbly confess to my much indebtedness in numerous ways to help thankfully received from various sources, among which are certain papers handed down apparently from generation to generation, giving much positive information that at this late date could not have been sup­ plied from any other source; also to information 4 GENEALOGY OF OUR BALDWIN FAMILY. fr.om private individuals, prominent among which is Mr. C. C. Baldwin, of Worcester, Mas­ sachusetts, Histories and Genealogical books, and very particularly the extensive works of Chas. Candee Baldwin, of Cleveland, on the Baldwins of the United States, from which relia­ ble source I have by permission given many quotations. I hope to be excused if I admit the fact that some imagination has probably been used in the department of the book styled "The Stories of the Baldwins," in order to bring out in a more interesting manner anecdotes that have been many times rehearsed by the older members of the family and for the purpose of describing in an entertaining manner customs that prevailed .. in pioneer days. Trusting this rather hastily gotten up little b.ook will be kindly received as furnishing a family reference and also as giving history per­ taining to the manners and customs of the peo­ ple by which our forefathers were surrounded in the early days, and with best wishes for all the Baldwins, I am justly proud of my ancestors and the Baldwin name. CHAPTER I. THE ENGLISH BALDWINS. IALDWIN is an old name and quite common as early as the Conquest of England. It appears in the roll of Battle Abbey there was in England a Baldwin as early as 672, and every one knows of the Baldwin Earls of Flanders, from the one con­ temporary of Alfred the Great-whose son, Bald­ win second, manied Elsruth, daughter of Alfred­ to the Baldwin 5th, who manied the daughter of Robert of France, and whose daughter Matilda married William the Conqueror; Baldwin, Em-·· peror of the East, in 1237, and of the Baldwins, · Earls of Devonshire, called in Normandy Baudoin des Riviers, and, in England, Baldwin de Lisle. Baldwin of Redvers, the Earl, was the first to rebel against Stephen. Rev. E. C. Baldwin, of Branford, Conn., tells us that a couple of Danes informed him that the name was a Danish one and common in that coun- 6 GENEALOGY OF OUR BALDWIN FAMILY. try. It exists as "Balduin" in Germany and even in my own city is a German, August Baldwin. Near Coblenz, on a stream flowing into the Rhine, is Baldwinstein (Baldwinstone) , a castle and a town. I was told at Florence that the name was Italian and common in that vicinity. Miss Strickland says it is a fine old name of Saxon origin and signifies "Bold Winner. Arthur on Family Names says "Baldwin (German) from 'Bald/ quick or speedy7 and 'win,' an old word signifying victor or con­ queror, as: 'Bertwin,' famous victor, 'Alwin,' all victorious, etc." Andersen also makes it the Ger­ man "Balde," from which "Baldwin," bold in battle. The ancestors of a very large share of the Bald­ wins in the United States lived in County Bucks, England, and the name seems to have been com­ mon there from a very early time. Baldwin de Hampden, whom Lord Nugent, and Maccauley after him, says was one of the Norman favorites of the Saxon King, Edward the Confessor, HamP­ den was and is in the same locality where in after years Baldwins were plenty. The history of the English Baldwins, who were THE ENGLISH BALDWINS. 7 ancestors of by very far the larger share of the Baldwins of America, occupied the largest portion of their genealogical records.

Thomas W. Symons, Corps of Engineers, assisted by Alfred Downing and C.C. Manning Topographical Assistants U.S. Army Drawn by Alfred Downing . 1885 (F.D. Baldwin Copy) Stock#: 45449mv Map Maker: U.S. War Department Date: 1885 Place: Washington, D.C. Color: Hand Colored Condition: VG Size: 40 x 30 inches Price: SOLD Description: Indian Fighter Captain Frank Baldwin's Copy of A Remarkable Northwest Rarity The single most advanced and detailed map of the Northwest, published by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1885. The present map is the most detailed and complete map of the region published to date. It was printed specifically for use in the field by military officers and not available for sale or civilian use. Carl Wheat recognized this map as the single most noteworthy Military map of the 1880s, closing out his discussion of the Warren / Freyhold maps with a 2 paragraph discussion of the map. The present example was used by Captain F. D. Baldwin, 5th Infantry, whose name appears on the verso. The map was almost certainly issued to Baldwin in the short window of time between its issuance (about June 1, 1885) and Baldwin's relocation to Montana, in November 1885. A decorated officer whose career spanned nearly 50 years, Baldwin is perhaps best known for his involvement in the pursuit of Sitting Bull and his involvement in helping to relocate the Nez Perce Indians back from Indian Territory to Washington state, after previously participating in 1887 in the Nez Perce's forced relocation to Indian Territory.

  • THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index
    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide. It was published entirely with funds provided by the Associates of the Western History Collections and other private donors.

CRIME AND POVERTY IN DETROIT: A CROSS-REFERENTIAL CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF IDEOGRAPHS AND FRAMING Jacob J. Nickell 135 Pages May 2014 This thesis examines how the relationship between crime and poverty is rhetorically constructed within the news media. To this end, I investigate the content of twelve news articles, published online, that offered coverage of crime in the city of Detroit, Michigan. I employ three methods in my criticism of these texts: ideographic analysis, critical framing analysis, and an approach that considers ideographs and framing elements to be rhetorical constructions that function together. In each phase of my analysis, I developed ideological themes from concepts emerging from the texts. I then approached my discussion of these findings from a perspective of Neo-Marxism, primarily using Gramsci’s (1971) critique of cultural hegemony to inform my conclusions.

    UNITED NATIONS UNITED NATIONS CENTRE AGAINST APARTHEID l t C4- 9Cr 7/88 April 1988 REGISTER OF SPORTS CONTACTS WITH SOUTH AFRICA 1 JANUARY 1987 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 AND CONSOLIDATED LIST OF SPORTSMEN AND SPORTSWOMEN WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SPORTS EVENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA 1 SEPTEMBER 1980 - 31 DECEMBER 1987 [Note: The names of persons in this list are arranged by nationality as reported in the press. The names of participants from schools and junior competitors are not included in the list. It should be noted, however, that the Governments of many countries in the list have opposed or discouraged sports exchanges with South Africa. Some of the sportspersons may be living outside their countries.] United Nations, New York 10017 INTRODUCTION The international campaign against apartheid sport continued to make progress during 1987. In response, South Africa has embarked on a massive exercise to lure well-known athletes from overseas to compete there by offering them substantial sums of money. Although many countries tightened their regulations in regard to these exchanges in 1987, South Africa continued its efforts to mitigate the effects of the boycott. It is estimated that South Africa spends approximately $US 100 million annually to promote international sports exchanges and subsidize sports organizations which endorse government policies. Commercial'houses which sponsor any event involving overseas participants are refunded 90 per cent of their gross outlay through tax rebates. Thus, South Africa devotes large sums of money to attract overseas players. With the exception of some top golfers and tennis players and a few others, the calibre of players participating in South Africa has been mediocre.
