  • The Biography of James K
    The Biography of James K. Moore From Original Manuscript Compiled by Evelyn Bell Copyright ©2004 by Henry E. Stamm, IV, editor INTRODUCTION During the reservation era of the late 19th century, it took political connections and well-placed references to win contracts as either military sutlers or Indian reservation traders. James Kerr Moore, the Indian trader for the Wind River Reservation and military sutler at Fort Washakie, Wyoming, from the 1870s until the early 1900s, had both. His successes, however, came from hard work, a willingness to learn, good timing, and honesty in his business dealings. FAMILY HISTORY & EARLY YEARS James K. Moore was born into a family of middling means—his paternal grandfather, James Moore, had emigrated from Ireland about 1801 and joined the printing firm of Blanchard-Mohun in Washington, D.C. His duties included printing the newspaper, The National Intelligencer. Later, he worked for the U.S. Department of the Treasury as an accountant, and remained in that position until his death in 1853. James’s father, Robert Lowry Moore, was born in 1815 and moved to Henry County, Georgia about 1838, with hopes of participating in one of the land lotteries sponsored by Georgia. (Georgia passed a series of lotteries, beginning in 1805, as a means to disperse the lands that were taken from the Creek and Cherokee Indians). He was too late, as the last lottery took place in 1832, but his new father-in-law, William H. Agnew, was one of the lucky winners. Robert’s first wife, Ann Johnson Askew, died in September 1840 (probably in childbirth), whereupon he married her younger sister, Mary, a month later.

  • Editorial and Design Principles in Precursors Of
    PRECURSORS TO THE RISE OF ENGLISH WORLD ATLASES; Theatres, Atlases, Cosmographies, Geographies, and Sets of Maps Dalia Varanka, Research Geographer U.S. Geological Survey 1400 Independence Road Rolla, Mo 65401 Tel. 573.308.3897 Email [email protected] Acnowledgement: This paper is based on doctoral dissertation research formulated under the supervision of J.B. Harley. The dissertation work was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation and with fellowships from the John Carter Brown Library, Brown University; the Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography, The Newberry Library; and the Graduate College of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The context of the rise of world atlases in England suggests that they were tied to wider scholarly and social issues covering the period of roughly 1630 through 1730. This short history discusses the cosmographical background and Continental foundations of the rise of world atlases in England, and a survey of relevant English precursors to those atlases. A risk exists of rooting definitions of atlases firmly in cartography, subsuming other defining concepts, such as scientific philosophy and social values. An alternative way to look at atlases is that they are part of the larger corpus of their other contemporary works. The word ‘atlas’ was applied to only a part of our extant corpus of bound or unbound collections of maps of the world made in late seventeenth- century England. A more frequent term is "set of maps," (or Tabularum Geographicarum). ‘Geography’ is also used. Bound sets of maps, which are called Atlas Factice, are almost never called atlases by their makers or producers.

  • Brothertown Timelines
    BROTHERTOWN TIMELINE 1646 Rev. John Eliot plans Prayer Towns for the New England Indians In 1646, Reverend John Eliot first preached to Indians at a site he later called Nonantum ('Place of Rejoicing') in present-day Newton, MA. Making converts to Christianity there, Eliot became encouraged by the possibility of gradual religious, social and political integration of all Indians into colonial society. Rev. John Eliot planned towns for Indian converts, becoming known as the 'Indian Apostle' for his efforts to convert Indians. Waban (at Natick, MA) was the first Indian chief to embrace Christianity, and entertained John Eliot in his wigwam when Eliot first went among the Nipmuc as a preacher in their own language on October 28, 1648. By 1650, Indian converts to Christianity had begun moving to Natick to organize what would become the first of several villages known as "Praying Towns", with the Indians in them known as "Praying Indians". Here, as in all of the Praying Towns which followed, Indians would renounce their native language, ceremonies, beliefs, traditional dress and customs -- effectively becoming 'Red' Puritans. Natick was also the place where young educated Indian men would be trained as missionaries to their own people then sent out to convert more Indians and to establish additional Praying Towns. Daniel Takawambpait was the first Indian minister in New England, being ordained at Natick, Massachusetts, in 1681. Through the next few years fourteen of those towns were established with the total converts numbering about four thousand. By 1674 each of the communities had a school where the Indians were taught to read and write in English.

I was taught by Professor Bahar on four separate occasions, beginning with the first class I ever took at Oberlin in “American History to 1877” and ending with “Indians and Empires in Early America” my junior spring. He also led a private reading on the American Revolution and served as my advisor since I declared for a history major as a freshman. Most importantly, Professor Bahar has been a thoughtful mentor and someone I will always consider a friend. I am fortunate to have had the privilege of learning from him, both as an academic and as a person of tremendous character. I am extremely grateful of his impact on my life and look forward to staying in contact over the years. I would also like to thank the many history and economics professors whose classes I have had the privilege of taking. Professor Leonard Smith has been an absolute joy to get to know both in and out of the classroom.

In February 2010 the Tribe filed a lawsuit in federal district court chal- lenging the Village’s authority to impose storm water charges on tribal trust properties. The Tribe contended the Village lacked jurisdiction to assess the charges, and that the charges constituted illegal taxes. The Village filed a counterclaim against the Tribe, and a claim against the United States alleging that the federal government was responsible for pay- ment of the charges. The district court ruled in favor of the Tribe and the United States, and the Village appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In October of 2013, the Seventh Circuit upheld the district court’s ruling. The Village of Hobart then sought review by the United States Supreme Court.
