N compiling the present history, two brief works on the same subject, viz : the Quackenbush chapter in " Talcott's New York and New England Families," ** and Richard Wynkoop's Genealogical Notes on the Quacken- bos Family," have been taken as a basis, subject to such cor- rections as were deemed necessary in the light of recent re- search. The lineages as traced by these Vv^riters have been considerably developed, how^ever, by the addition of everything obtainable concerning individual members of the Quackenbush or Quackenbos family, and in almost every case the baptismal and marriage records have been verified by comparison with accurate transcriptions of the several church registers. Mili- tary and naval records, obtained from official sources, have been inserted in the text, as well as numerous traditions, taken from local histories or communicated by descendants of the principals, but there has been no attempt at systematic bio- graphical notices except in the cases of professional men.

CHARLES KING 1 of 12 6/4/2020, 7:03 PM The Reinvention of Humanity by Charles King book review https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/reinvention-of-humanity-cha... he President of the United States was saying “America must be kept American”, emboldening white supremacists to blame darker-skinned T immigrants for causing crime and taking working-class jobs. It was the 1920s, and the US was erecting barriers against immigration, with severe effects on those who were poor or classed as non-white. White patricians, feeling under threat from those who spoke foreign languages and clustered in tenements, rallied around a confident, energetic, mustachioed ideologue named Madison Grant, a wealthy New Yorker and close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt. Grant’s book The Passing of the Great Race (1916) implausibly suggested that America had once been racially homogeneous but was becoming degraded by immigration – plunged into a chaotic, impoverished “racial abyss”. “Teutonics” or “Nordics” like him were being “replaced”, he warned, by “lower” races and would soon be “extinct”. Grant’s malevolent thesis that racial mixing posed a grave threat to white vitality was seized on by Hitler, who in 1925 wrote Grant a fan letter, praising the German translation of his book as “my Bible”.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

The winter had been one of unusual severity, and at the beginning of the quarter the weather was still of too unsettled and inclement a nature to permit the immediate resumption of work on the water-front. The greatest activity of the Department in the early part of the season was, in fact, in the repair and renewal of piers damaged by floating ice and otherwise. At new Pier No. I, North river, up to the 1st of April, ten arches had been completed, with the exception of about 1,200 square feet of decking, ana the crib for Arch No. 11 placed in position, DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS. fillea with concrete up to the formation level, and two courses of beton blocks placed thereon.

GOSSON, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. >§®=" The newspaper press are welcome to use such parts of the work as they may desire, on giving credit therefor to the Manual. INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

ACT UP Oral History Project Interview of Charles King January 20, 2010 SARAH SCHULMAN: As we start, if you could just say your name, your age, today’s date, and where we are. CHARLES KING: Sure. My name is Charles King. I turn fifty-five next month, and we are in my offices at Housing Works in Brooklyn, New York. SS: You’re the executive director? CK: I’m the president and CEO. We’ve upgraded our titles here. SS: So where are you from initially, Charles? CK: I was actually born in Wilmington, Delaware. At the age of two, decided to move to Texas, and moved to New Haven, Connecticut, to go to divinity school. SS: What did your parents do? CK: My father was a fundamentalist evangelical minister, missionary, saving the heathen, and my mother was a housewife. We grew up on a five-acre farm. SS: What church were you raised in? CK: Independent Baptist. My father thought Jerry Falwell was a liberal. SS: So when you were growing up in Texas, what was your family’s value about community, helping people in trouble? CK: We had a very strong value of that, but it came out of a very evangelical self-help, “pull yourself by your own bootstraps” kind of mentality. So we were very opposed to anything associated with public welfare, but strongly believed in individual charity that helped people help themselves, I guess would be the best way to describe it.
