  • Emma Donoghue the San Miguel Mystery: the Documents Spoiler
    Emma Donoghue The San Miguel Mystery: The Documents Spoiler alert! This is for those who’ve read the novel and care to learn which bits are hard fact, educated guesswork or pure speculation. For decades after the murder of Jeanne (‘Jenny’) Bonnet at San Miguel Station, San Francisco, on 14 September 1876, people continued to mull over what was generally called the San Miguel Mystery. Almost no work has been done on Bonnet - Clare Sears’s excellent essay (see below, 2006) is the only piece of scholarly research with footnotes - and what floats around online about her is mostly recycled rumour. So what I want to offer here are the key documents about the case that I drew on to write my novel Frog Music, arranged in chronological order, with comments. Note: I found many of these sources on ancestry.com, familysearch.org, genealogy.com, footnote.com, the California Digital Newspaper Collection at http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc, Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/chronicling america, or in the California Historical Society’s clippings files; some of the rarer newspaper articles were graciously supplied by Clare Sears. Record of Marriage between Sosthène Bonnet and Désirée Leau, Seine Department (Paris), France, 25 April 1850. (The first of their two daughters, Jeanne Bonnet, seems to have been born pre-maritally, around 1849. Both parents were performing at Dumas’s struggling Theatre Historique, which would close in October 1851.) Record of Birth of Adèle Louise Beunon, 9 April 1852, to Marie Thérese Martin and Francois Denis Beunon, at St-Louis-en-l’Ile, Paris.

    APPLICATION TO NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL UNDERGROUND RAILROAD NETWORK TO FREEDOM FOR BRODERICK PARK, BUFFALO, NY by Nathan Montague, M.A. OMB Control No. 1024-0232 Expires 5/31/2013 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL UNDERGROUND RAILROAD NETWORK TO FREEDOM GENERAL INFORMATION Type (pick one): _X__ Site ___ Facility ___ Program Name (of what you are nominating): Broderick Park Address: 1170 Niagara Street City, State, Zip: Buffalo, NY 14213 County: Erie County Congressional District: 26th District of New York Physical Location of Site/facility (if different): (same) ___ Address not for publication? Date Submitted: Summary: Tell us in 200 words or less what is being nominated and how it is connected to the Underground Railroad. Broderick Park was the location of the Black Rock ferry, a major transportation link across the Niagara River between Buffalo, New York and Fort Erie, Canada. The ferry operated continuously from the Broderick Park location from 1825 until the service was discontinued in the middle of the 20th century. Buffalo’s destiny as important national transportation hub was sealed when it was chosen for the terminus of the Erie Canal in the 1820s. Through the 19th century Buffalo grew to become a busy inland port and a railroad center. The area around Black Rock ferry contained the busy Erie Canal, Black Rock Harbor, and other waterfront activities. The dock where the ferry landed and departed for nearby Canada was used as an Underground Railroad station from at least the 1830s until the Civil War. Fugitive slaves took the ferry and other boats from the Broderick Park location across the river to Canada and freedom.

    Oral History interview with Adele Brandeis, 1965 June 1 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview AB: ADELE BRANDEIS HP: HARLAN PHILLIPS HP: By way of departure, I think you ought to fence in the story of how you became involved in the WPA, what the situation was like in Kentucky, what you had to do with and what you went about. AB: That's kind of difficult. I don't really know what the situation was in Kentucky. I got involved through knowing Constance Rourke and her interest in the Audubon and her interest in the Shakers. When Constance Rourke told me that they were going to start on the Index of American Design, I instantly decided that somebody ought to record what the Shakers had done in Kentucky. It seemed a very mild beginning, and I suddenly realized that I had no idea how it was to be recorded. I couldn't record it, and I found they wouldn't use photographs. So, I did know through being on the board of the Art Center School here -- I've been on the Board ever since it started -- that there were a great many young struggling artists who had been working in the Art Center School and had no idea of ever being able to make a living in depression days. It occurred to me that if they could possibly be taught how to do this interesting and meticulous work for the Index, that maybe it would somehow serve a purpose later on and at least [it would] pay them a little something and tide them over and keep them from being quite so discouraged.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES O T T O L APORTE 1902—1971 A Biographical Memoir by H. R. CR A N E A N D D. M . D ENNISON Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1979 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. OTTO LAPORTE July 23,1902-March 28,1971 BY H. R. CRANE AND D. M. DENNISON* TTO LAPORTE was a member of the small group of brilliant O young theoretical physicists who received their training during the middle 1920s under the guidance of Arnold Sommer- feld in Munich. Otto Laporte was born in Mainz, Germany. His ancestral lineage came from French Huguenot families who fled from France to Switzerland during the period of intense religious persecution in the late seventeenth century. They were later allowed by Frederick the Great to move to Prussia, where they and their descendants became, for the most part, civil servants in the Prussian State. It appears that Otto was the first member of his family to devote himself to science or any other scholarly career. His father was a career officer in the Imperial German Army, and his specialty was heavy artillery. During the years before World War I, Colonel Laporte was successively stationed in the heavily fortified cities of Mainz, Cologne, and Metz, and it was in these cities that young Otto Laporte received his early schooling. After the war broke out, the family was evacuated from Metz and returned to Mainz, where Otto's mother's family lived.

  • The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 in Indiana by CHARLESH
    The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 In Indiana By CHARLESH. MONEY, A.M. When the constitution was being formulated by the con- vention at Philadelphia in 1787, one of the problems that came up for solution was the reclamation of fugitives. Among all the colonies it had become a custom, or rather a matter of inter-colonial comity, if a slave ran away from his master into another state or a fugitive was fleeing from justice he should be returned to the state from which he fled. Thus, the custom had grown up among the colonies before the Revolutionary war and still continued to be their custom in reclaiming chat- tel property or bringing about justice. In the constitutional convention all the states seemed to agree on the subject of slavery except North and South Carolina and Georgia. At this time these states deemed slavery necessary to their pros- perity. To make sure that they would not lose their slaves, by their running away, they forced into the constitution the pro- vision for a general fugitive slave law. Another clause pro- vided for fugitives from justice. The clause relative to service is as follows : “No person held to service or labor in one state under the laws thereof escaping into another, shall, in conse- quence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” This clause was carried out by an act of congress passed February 12, 1793, and signed by President Washington.

  • Lulu Has Done Since the Early SevenEs
    “The first *me I heard her sing, I knew we were born in the same pond” James Brown The Sunday Times “Amid the blues-rock power chords there’s an echo of Amy Winehouse, a hint of Rod Stewart, but the dominant presence is the lady herself, sounding every bit as revved up as she did in the 1960’s. An impressive return” The Sunday Telegraph “Making Life Rhyme is the best thing Lulu has done since the early Seven*es. Before Amy Winehouse, before Adele there was Lulu. It is a very fine album, perhaps the best she has ever made” The Daily Mail “Shout it loud... Lulu's made a humdinger: Making Life Rhyme is late-career renaissance” The Observer “The 11 mainly self-penned songs here showcase her s*ll powerful voice, spread across a surprisingly wide range of genres.

Classy tunes to have you shou*ng with delight” The Daily Telegraph “They are songs with emo*onal substance, a life*me of hurt and wisdom in the life- affirming lyrics and raspy singing” The Sun “Lulu s*ll has something to SHOUT about at 66 and aXer 51 years in music” Lulu Coverage date: 10 April 2015 Circulation: 2125292 Page: 51 Shout it loud .
