ALSO CITY OFFICERS IN BOSTON, AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY JAMES LORING, 13 2 Washington Street. ECLIPSES IN 1839. 1. The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

Submitted for the degree of M.A., 1990. Department of History, University of Durham. This study concentrates on the period from the introduction of the Tallmadge amendment in February 1819 to the settiing of the controversy with the famous Compromise in March 1820. The Missouri crisis is erroneously viewed as the product of politics first, with antislavery a poor second. There are examples of growing sectional antagonism before 1819. But at no time was consistent sectional unity possible on economic and political issues. Only slavery produced the unity and strength of feeling to provoke a major sectional conflict.

FROM THE COLLECTIONS “A Letter from Joshua Cushman” BY MATTHEW MASON Brigham Young University N LATE 1820, Mainers sent their new state’s first two senators to Congress. It was a triumphant time for those who had pushed long Iand hard for Maine’s separation from Massachusetts and admission into the Union. They greeted the seating of their delegation to Congress in November 1820 with great relief, for from early January through early March of that same year they had seen their state’s admission tied to the extremely controversial admission of Missouri. Only if Missouri could be admitted without a restriction on its citizens’ right to hold slaves, the congressional leadership had declared, could Maine enter. The linkage of the two states put Mainers in an unusual position. While the rest of the Union knew this controversy as “the Missouri ques- tion,” Mainers tended for good reason to call it “the Maine and Missouri question.” The demand for statehood worked in favor of Maine’s con- gressional representatives who opposed the proposed restriction on slav- ery in Missouri.

  • Biographies from History of Johnson County 1881
    BiographicalS k e t c h e s . All men cannot be great; each has his sphere and the success of his life is to be measured by the mannerin which he fills it. But men may be both true and good, maybe morally great, tor in true living there are no degrees of greatness —there is no respect to persons. It is not intended in the following pages to include all the several and seperate acts of a man's life, important or otherwise. The design is to give the merest outline, for a complete review of the life and character of the person named, would be both unwarranted and without general value. The names which follow, for the most part, are those of men who have been or are now closely identified with the interests of the county and their respective townships. The sketches of many of the early settlers are found elsewhere in this volume; but to have given a sketch of every man in Johnsoncount}' would have been utterly impossible. If any have been omitted, who should have bt5en represented, it was more the fault of them selves or their friends than the publishers of this work. For the most part these have contributed to the enterprise which the publishers have been able to furnish the people. Great care has been taken to give the facts in these sketches as they were given to the historian, and if occasional errors are found, it is largely due to the incorrect statement of the inform ant.

  • Ancestry of George W. Bush Compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner
    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html. The first site will be updated first and more frequently, while the second site will be more stable. William Addams Reitwiesner [email protected] Ancestry of George W. Bush George Walker Bush, b.
