Post Malone has been touring the country this year, playing sold-out arenas while opening for Justin Bieber's Purpose tour, all without a major project backing him. That changes today, as the Dallas rapper, singer and musician drops his August 26 mixtape, a 10 track offering that noticeably does not include his current single "Go Flex" and his break-out smash "White Iverson." Features on the mixtape include 2 Chainz, Jeremih, Lil Yachty, Jaden Smith and more. Earlier this month, Post held a listening session in New York City for his debut album, which will likely drop on August 26, and previewed a song with Jaden Smith, though it's not clear at the moment if it was the same song on the mixtape, "Lonely," or if the two have multiple songs together. At that listening session, Post also played a collab with Justin Bieber and an ode to NBA shooting guard Monta Ellis.

  • Robert Purdy, 3Rd WV Inf/6Th WV Cav & Potomac
    ROBERT PURDY, CIVIL WAR SOLDIER FROM MARSHALL COUNTY Written by Linda Cunningham Fluharty, May 21, 2012 Eric McFadden sent a file (which follows) about Civil War soldier, Robert C. Purdy, of Moundsville, Marshall County. Purdy had some connection to the President Lincoln Conspiracy-Assassination trials and Eric's records are from that proceeding. At first, it seemed that the Robert Purdy was the man in the 3rd West Virginia that subsequently became the 6th West Virginia Cavalry, but evidence now indicates that the Robert C. Purdy related to the Assassination Trial enlisted in the 2nd Maryland Cavalry and was transferred to Company "M" of the Maryland 1st Regiment Potomac Home Brigade. Since only one Robert C. Purdy has been found, perhaps the same man was in both organizations. Service Records of Robert C. Purdy exist for both regiments. Robert C. Purdy in Company "I" of the 3rd Infanty/6th Cavalry was 41 when he enlisted 11 Dec 1861 in the 3rd Infantry. He was born in West Chester, NY. He received a Medical Discharge 11 July 1863.

MALE VOICE (over a black screen) Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation. FADE UP: On FREDERICK AIKEN, 26, a handsome, young turk. AIKEN/MALE "How'd you die?" The first man asks the second. Aiken is wearing the blue and gold of the Union Army. AIKEN "I froze to death," says the second. "That's awful. What's it like to freeze to death?" PULL BACK: to reveal Aiken has been shot in the abdomen, uniform blood-soaked, slumped inside a cold, muddy BUNKER. AIKEN (CONT'D) "You get the shakes and pain in all your fingers and toes. But eventually you kind of drift off as if you're falling asleep. (a beat) How 'bout you? How'd you die?" Revealing Aiken is not alone. Best friend, NICHOLAS BAKER, 27, is nearby - right leg nearly severed above the knee. AIKEN (CONT'D) "Heart attack," says the first man. "You see my wife was cheating on me. So, I show up at home unexpectedly. I burst into the bedroom. She's all alone knitting. So, I race down to the basement to find the louse, but no one's there. I sprint up to the attic, and just as I arrive... I had a massive heart attack and died." Baker's breathing becomes labored. He is beginning to fade. AIKEN (CONT'D) The second man shakes his head.

    Hatching Execution: Andrew Johnson and the Hanging of Mary Surratt Sarah Westad History 489: Research Seminar December 2015 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with the consent of the author. Contents Abstract iii Figures iv Introduction 1 Historiography 10 Primary Source Analysis 22 Conclusion 33 Works Cited 35 ii Abstract In 1865, the American Civil War and the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln plunged the country into a state of panic. Federal officials quickly took to the ranks, imprisoning hundreds of suspected rebels believed to be involved in the assassination. Ultimately, only eight individuals, dubbed conspirators, were prosecuted and charged with murdering the Commander- in-Chief. During their trials, new president Andrew Johnson voiced grave concern over one particular conspirator, middle-aged Catholic widow Mary Surratt. As the mother of escaped conspirator, John Surratt, Johnson viewed Mrs. Surratt as an individual that needed to be treated with a particular urgency, resulting in a series of events that led to Mrs. Surratt’s execution, less than three months after the assassination, on July 7, 1865. This paper analyzes the actions of Johnson and considers the American public’s responses to Mary Surratt’s hanging. Additionally, this paper looks at the later writings of Andrew Johnson in order to gain an understanding of his feelings on Mrs. Surratt in the weeks, months, and years after her execution, as well as

Among other visitors, such as her daughter Anna, Mrs. Surratt would have seen her spiritual advisors Father Wiget and Father Walter. Online via the Library of Congress. Mary Surratt hired a well-respected lawyer to defend her before the military commission. Reverdy Johnson - also a U.S. Senator from Maryland - was seriously opposed to trying the defendants before a group of Union generals. Although he gave a long and impassioned plea against the process, on Mary’s behalf, it was of no use. The head judge - Major General David Hunter - was a close friend (and pall bearer) of President Lincoln. He had no interest in hearing arguments that President Johnson’s order - requiring military justice in the Surratt matter - was wrong. And ... he had no problem with the dual roles of Joseph Holt (as chief prosecutor and impartial legal advisor to the tribunal) - at least, not initially.
