    MAPPING: NORTHERN BATTLES Using a grid system helps you locate places in the world. A grid system is made up of lines that come together to form squares. The squares divide a map into smaller pieces, making it easier to \ nd important places. Learning how to use a grid system is easy, and will teach you an important location skill. Example: In July 1777, the British Army took control of Mount Independence. Hundreds of soldiers from America, Great Britain, and Germany are buried in unmarked graves on top of Mount Independence. Mount Independence is located at ( 4,4 ). Locate Mount Independence at ( 4,4 ), by putting your \ nger on the number 1 at the bottom of the grid. Slide over to 4 and up to 4. Mount Independence is located in the square created where these two numbers come together. 6 5 Mount 4 Ind. 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 678 9 Directions: In this activity, you will use a grid system to locate important Revolutionary War forts and battles in the North. 1. Follow the example above for locating each fort or battle by going over and up. If a fort or battle is located at ( 4,4 ), go over to 4 and up to 4. 2. When you locate a fort or battle on the grid, color in the square with a coloring pencil. If the fort or battle was won by the Americans, color the square blue. If the fort or battle was won by the British, color the square red. 3. The \ rst one has been done for you as an example.

  • How Safe Is Our Food?
    VOLUME TWELVE NUMBER 2 Lobbying Reform — Keeping it Legal by Cheryl Baisden When you want something really special for your birthday, it may take more than just a simple request to convince your parents to buy it. You probably start out dropping hints about how great it is, and then casually mention how your friends have it, and how good you’ll be if you get it. If that doesn’t work, maybe you become a little more helpful around the house, or try winning your mom over by complimenting her new haircut. You probably never realized it, but there’s a word for all of the effort you’re putting in — it’s called lobbying. And while you may be lobbying to get that special gift, the practice is most often used in government as a way to influence lawmakers. WINTER2008 “In government, a lobbyist is someone who tries to influence the decisions of elected officials,” explained Todd Sidor, an attorney From ‘Farm to Fork’: and lobbyist for the New Jersey State Bar Association. “Usually they are experts in certain fields, or former government officials with connections HowHow SafeSafe isis OurOur Food?Food? in certain fields, and their job is to by Barbara Sheenhan account for about 20 percent of our (CSREES); and the Department of educate legislators about why a food supply.

Michael Holcomb James Holcomb Pension Application of James Holcomb R 5128 Holcomb was born 8 June 1764 and is thus 12 years old (!) when he first enlisted on 4 March 1777 in Sheffield, MA, for one year as a waiter in the Company commanded by his uncle Capt. Michael Holcomb. In April or May 1778, he enlisted as a fifer in Capt. Deming’s Massachusetts Militia Company. “That he attended his uncle in every alarm until some time in August when the Company were ordered to Bennington in Vermont […] arriving at the latter place on the 15th of the same month – that on the 16th his company joined the other Berkshire militia under the command of Col. Symonds – that on the 17th an engagement took place between a detachment of the British troops under the command of Col. Baum and Brechman, and the Americans under general Stark and Col. Warner, that he himself was not in the action, having with some others been left to take care of some baggage – that he thinks about seven Hundred prisoners were taken and that he believes the whole or a greater part of them were Germans having never found one of them able to converse in English. That he attended his uncle the Captain who was one of the guard appointed for that purpose in conducting the prisoners into the County of Berkshire, where they were billeted amongst the inhabitants”.

Soon after the death of Gov. Silas H. Jenison, who had before been appointed to that service, the author of the followinof work was requested by the Committee of the Middlebury Historical So- ciety to write a history of the town of Shoreham. He soon becan to make mquiries and to collect materials to form into a history • but it was not until all those persons who first settled in this town were dead, with the exception of a single individual, that he en- tered upon the duties assigned him. The difficulties attending the prosecution of such an undertaking, under such circumstances, may easily be conceived, but these were aggravated by the absence of all records dating back beyond the year 1783. His only resource therefore, was to consult the only living man who had been here be- fore the Revolution, and a few of the older inhabitants who came soon after. It was a happy circumstance that Major Noah Callender had not then passed away, whose memory, though he was then more than eighty years old. remained unimpaired. The author held fre- quent conversations with him, and noted down whatever he deemed important for the prosecution of his work, and it is with pleasure he is able to state that on no important point has he found Major Callender's statements to be erroneous, after having been subjected to the severest tests.

  • Vermont Genealogy Research
    Vermont Genealogy Research Located in the northeast region of the United States, Vermont is divided into 14 counties and its capital is Montpelier. The land that is Vermont was fought and argued over by the French, British, Native Americans, and the governments of New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Vermont was created from the Province of New York, New Hampshire Grants and Vermont Republic. Early Inhabitants Native Americans lived in the area that became Vermont for 10,000 years. The most prominent early Indian tribes at the time of European exploration were the Abénaki and the Mahican. The western Abénaki Indians were composed of subdivisions including Sokoki, Missisquoi, and Cowasuck. Warfare in the 1600’s with European colonists, disease, and forced migration reduced the population of these peoples. Most survivors were forced to move onto reservations in Canada. Indian Tribes and Communities in Vermont today: Although these communities are currently not recognized as tribes by the U.S. Federal Government, there are two groups in Vermont today. 1) Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi – St. Francis/Sokoki Band: The Missiquoi (or the Missisquoi or the Sokoki) are located in the Wabanaki region of what is now northern Vermont and southern Quebec. This Algonquian group is a sub-group of the Abenaki who lived along the eastern shore of Lake Champlain when Europeans began exploring the area. Their name Missiassik, from which "Missisquois" is derived, means "place of flint" in the Abenaki language; or alternatively, from "Masipskoik, a word that means "place where there are boulders", more specifically "boulders point." Today, the tribe is known as the St.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 31 August Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Aug 16 1777 – American Revolution: Battle of Bennington » The Battle took place in Walloomsac, New York, about 10 miles from its namesake Bennington, Vermont. A rebel force of about 1,500 men, primarily New Hampshire and Massachusetts militiamen, led by General John Stark, and reinforced by Vermont militiamen led by Colonel Seth Warner and members of the Green Mountain Boys, decisively defeated a detachment of General John Burgoyne's army led by Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum, and supported by additional men under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich von Breymann at Walloomsac, New York. After a rain-caused standoff, Brigadier General John Stark's men enveloped Baum's position, taking many prisoners, and killing Baum. Reinforcements for both sides arrived as Stark and his men were mopping up, and the battle restarted, with Warner and Stark driving away Breymann's reinforcements with heavy casualties. The battle reduced Burgoyne's army in size by almost 1,000 troops, led his Indian support to largely abandon him, and deprived him of much-needed supplies, such as mounts for his cavalry regiments, draft animals and provisions; all factors that contributed to Burgoyne's eventual defeat at the Battle of Saratoga. Aug 16 1780 – American Revolution: Continentals routed at Battle of Camden SC » American General Horatio Gates suffers a humiliating defeat. Despite the fact that his men suffered from diarrhea on the night of 15 AUG, caused by their consumption of under-baked bread, Gates chose to engage the British on the morning of the 15th.
