Timeline of Rockford's History
TIMELINE OF ROCKFORD’S HISTORY 1818-1832 In 1818, Illinois becomes a state, and by 1828 the Winnebago Native Americans have given up their land to white settlers. After their defeat in the Blackhawk War on August 27, 1832, all Native Americans move west across the Mississippi River. 1834 Germanicus Kent (b. 5/31/1790) and his slave Lewis Lemon travel from Huntsville, Alabama, and join Thatcher Blake of Oxford County, Maine (b. 3/16/1809) on the western bank of the Rock River in Illinois. Kent constructs a saw mill while Blake takes up farming. APRIL, 1835 Daniel Shaw Haight arrives on the east bank of the Rock River and builds a cabin. Haight and Kent compete with each other to try and outsell the surrounding land and convince settlers to move to their side of the river. OCTOBER, 1835 Dr. Josiah Goodhue, the founder of Rush Medical College in Chicago, gives Rockford its name by observing the rock ford (a shallow path) that allows settlers to cross the river. He officially moves to Rockford in 1838. 1837 An economic depression wipes out Kent’s money holdings, and seeing no future in Rockford, he moves to Virginia in 1844. SEPTEMBER 6, 1839 Lewis Lemon, Kent’s slave, receives his manumission (freedom) papers from Kent. Lemon chooses to remain in Rockford and lives the rest his life here selling vegetables until his death in 1877. FEBRUARY 25, 1847 The Rockford Female Seminary is first chartered February 25, 1847 and is later renamed Rockford College in 1892. The Seminary is established to prepare female students for the field of education. -

In that fight Baker, who used to be one of the most punishing wallopers among the welters landed only one light left jab on .Jimmy, and Jimmy slaughtered him with five rapid smashes to the head that dropped Sammy for a nine-second count, and finished him with four more as soon as he got up. This brings McLarnin into the limelight again – and this time as a welterweight. It also brings him into public notice as Jackie Fields Nemesis. When McLarnin fights Fields for the welter championship, as he surely will, It will be more than an ordinary fight. It will be a fight in which the champion meets a man who once knocked him out, almost spoiling a meteoric career. 2 Ladies Followed Jimmy. Little Jimmy McLarnin began fighting as a professional, after a year or so of amateur scraps, about a year before Fields became a professional. -

Hsu Michele B. Reid For Blood or for Glory: A History of Cuban Boxing, 1898-1962 by Anju Nandlal Reejhsinghani Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2009 To Billy Geoghegan, my cornerman Acknowledgments This project had its origins in January 2001, when – during a two-week trip to Havana and Matanzas as part of a U.S.-Cuba writers’ conference – I was in training for a series of amateur boxing tournaments back home. Without access to a boxing gym and unwilling to subject myself to catcalls by running in the street, I chose to train by the hotel pools, where – as my fellow writers worked on their tans or cavorted in the water – I assiduously jumped rope, did sit-ups and push-ups, and shadowboxed. My regimen, all the more unusual for its having been carried out by a woman, came to the attention of a Havana sports journalist, Martín Hacthoun, and led to his invitation to profile me for some of the national newspapers. Wary of being used for propaganda of whatever sort, I nonetheless was too curious not to accept.
