    Russian–American telegraph From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Western Union Telegraph Expedition) The Russian American telegraph , also known as the Western Union Telegraph Expedition and the Collins Overland telegraph , was a $3,000,000 undertaking by the Western Union Telegraph Company in 1865-1867, to lay an electric telegraph line from San Francisco, California to Moscow, Russia. The route was intended to travel from California via Oregon, Washington Territory, the Colony of British Columbia and Russian Alaska, under the Bering Sea and across Siberia to Moscow, where lines would communicate with the rest of Europe. It was proposed as an alternate to long, deep underwater cables in the Atlantic. Abandoned in 1867, the Russian American Telegraph was considered an economic failure, but history now deems it a "successful failure" because of the many benefits the exploration brought to the regions that were traversed.

The challenge then remained to connect North America with the rest of the world. [1] Working to meet that challenge was Cyrus West Field's Atlantic Telegraph Company, who in 1858 had laid the first undersea cable across the Atlantic Ocean. However, the cable had broken three weeks afterwards and additional attempts had thus far been unsuccessful.

  • 1St Invitation
    th 20 MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL ICE CHARTING WORKING GROUP September 23-27, 2019 – Nordatlantens Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark May 23, 2019 Greetings from the IICWG Co-Chairs; This is your invitation to attend the 20th Meeting of the International Ice Charting Working Group (IICWG-XX). This year’s meeting is being hosted in Copenhagen, Denmark, by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) during September 23-27. The theme for this year’s meeting is “Responsive Ice Services: Innovating Science and Service for a Changing Environment”. Since 1999, the IICWG has successfully worked as a forum for the operational ice services and helped them to better meet the needs of their national and international maritime clients through coordination and cooperation in data sharing, standards, training, product development, and research activities. The annual meeting has proven to be a valuable opportunity for national ice services to meet, along with their partners and clients, to discuss and coordinate work on issues facing operational ice monitoring and forecasting today and in the years to come. The IICWG is an advisory body to the JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice and coordinates its activities with the WMO Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar and High Mountain Observations, Research and Services. Agenda (see attached) The dramatic changes taking place in the waters affected by floating ice are having a major impact on the operational ice services, as well as their clients. The information needs of the maritime community are evolving rapidly. At the same time, advances in earth observation, information technology, machine learning, and computer modelling promise new and innovative opportunities to serve those needs.

    Reviews of Books The Development of Frederick Jac\son Turner as a Historical Thin\er. By FuLMER MOOD. (Reprinted from the Colonial Society of Massa­ chusetts, Transactions, 34:283-352.) So much has been written about that original mind, Frederick Jack­ son Turner, that one might think there was no room for further useful discussion of his development. But Dr. Mood's meticulous study is in­ deed a fresh and important contribution. Turner was born and raised in Portage, Wisconsin, where he saw at first hand the action of the melting pot and the growth of the democratic spirit. At the University of Wisconsin he worked on the college paper, delivered a prize oration upon "The Poet of the Future," and came un­ der the influence of William Francis Allen, professor of Latin and his­ tory. Allen believed in the topical approach to history, utilized many maps, set his students to using primary sources, and considered westward expansion and sectionalism the chief forces in American history. Turner stayed at Wisconsin, receiving a master's degree, writing a thesis on "The Influence of the Fur Trade in the Development of Wis­ consin," and teaching rhetoric, oratory, and American history. Dr. Mood shows clearly Turner's admiration for and close study of Scribner's His­ torical Atlas of the United States (1885) and the census reports of 1880. Turner spent a year in 1888-89 ^^ Johns Hopkins, where he was much influenced by Herbert Baxter Adams, Richard T. Ely, Woodrow Wilson, and others. Late in 1889 Professor Allen died, and Turner returned to Wisconsin to become head of the history department, a position which he held for twenty years.

Forthcoming bibliographies in this series will collect and evaluate the existing literature on Eskimo and Southeastern Alaska Tlingit and Haida groups. ISEGR bibliographies are compiled and written by institute members who specialize in ethnographic and social research. They are designed both to support current work at the institute and to provide research tools for others interested in Alaska ethnography. Although not exhaustive, these bibliographies indicate the best references on Alaska Native groups and describe the general nature of the works. Victor Fischer, Director - Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to extend our appreciation to all who helped us with this work. Particularly, we wish to thank Carol Berg, librarian at the Elmer E.
