It has been said that a story of the life o f Jonathan Trumbull would furnish material for pen- pictures of the most heroic episodes of the Revolutionary War, and bring o f to light much secret history the times when Lebanon, n o f Con , was in a sense the hidden capital the political and military councils that influenced the greatest events o f the American struggle for liberty. The view is in son o f so part true, and a Governor Trumbull felt that force o f the situation that he painted the scenes o f which ’ in he first gained a knowledge his father s farmhouse, beginning the work in that plain old home o n the sanded floor . ’ From Governor Trumbull s war office, which is still - standing at Lebanon, went the post riders whose secret f f messages determined some o the great events o the war. o f Thence went forth recruits for the army in times peril, as from the forests ; thence supplies for the army in f o . famine, thence droves cattle, through wilderness ways Governor Trumbull was the heart o f every need in o f those terrible days sacrifice . o f His wife, Faith Trumbull, a descendant the Pil o f grim Pastor Robinson Leyden , was a heroic woman to whom the Daughters o f the Revolution should erect a monument .

Jortner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation, prepared towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, examines “Yankee Theatre” in America and London through a post-colonial lens from 1787 to 1855. Actors under consideration include: Charles Mathews, James Hackett, George Hill, Danforth Marble and Joshua Silsbee. These actors were selected due to their status as iconic performers in “Yankee Theatre.” The Post-Revolutionary period in America was filled with questions of national identity. Much of American culture came directly from England. American citizens read English books, studied English texts in school, and watched English theatre. They were inundated with English culture and unsure of what their own civilization might look like.

  • History and Genealogy of the Norcross Family
    “Three of his sons and some of his sons-in-law were in the East Newton Company commanded by Jeremiah Wiswall son of Captain Noah and brother of Mary (Wiswall) Norcross. After the company had started for Lexington, he started on foot and alone to follow them saying I wish to see what the boys are doing. Standing with some Americans not far from the field, three British soldiers came into sight, he immediately pointed them out to his companions saying if you aim at the middle one you will hit one of the three, they did so and were successful, the other two fled. As he held out his hand pointing towards the Britons, a musket ball passed through it. He coolly bound up the hand with his handkerchief, picked up the gun of the fallen regular and brought it home as a trophy. He was then 76 years old and his name appears on the roll of the East Newton Co.” Samuel Norcross was the second Norcross settler of Maine (his brother Jonathan being the first) having moved there from Cambridge in 1763 and settled at Gardinerstown (then called Pittston). Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, for whom the town was named, and who was one of the first settlers and owned the whole territory, agreed with Mr. Norcross if he would move there, he would give him and also each of his sons 100 acres of land. He moved there, but his agreement was only a verbal one, and the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, he (Gardiner) espoused the cause of Great Britain and left Boston with the British Army in the evacuation.

B.J.—And do you believe they will now cheat as hard, themselves? U.S.—Every bit; only they, being more refined rascals, will do the trick less brutally. That is some check, I admit.

  • GUIDE to the ASHLEY FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note
    GUIDE TO THE ASHLEY FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Ashley Family Papers were received by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from many sources. They are comprised of approximately 470 original manuscripts and a number of copies of material of and relating to descendants of Robert Ashley of Springfield, Massachusetts*, through his eldest son, David, who settled in the neighboring town of Westfield. Associated with these papers are three containers of research material assembled by Bruce McClellan for a proposed biography of the Rev. Jonathan Ashley, which he presented to the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association. Biographical Notes and Descriptions of Series The numbers that follow many of the names are those assigned by George Sheldon in the genealogical notes in the second volume of his History of Deerfield. Many of the biographical notes are taken from the same source. Joseph Ashley, Jr., son of the Rev. Joseph8 and Anna Dewey Ashley and great-grandson of David Ashley2, was born in 1738 in Winchester, New Hampshire. His family moved to Sunderland when he was nine years old, and he continued to live there until his Tory sentiments forced him to leave and settle in New York State, probably about 1774. He died there some time during the Revolutionary War. In Sunderland he was a farmer and blacksmith. His wife, Ruth Billings, whom he married in 1763, was a native of Sunderland. The collection includes seven of his personal accounts, receipt and writs. Jonathan Ashley6, son of David2 and Hannah Glover Ashley, was born in Westfield and lived there his entire life.

Deep Sea Research, Inc., 1 a case of shipwreck salvage begun as a maritime action in rem. Because the Court does not often accept cases of admiralty and maritime law, its decision was eagerly anticipated by American maritime lawyers and constitutionalists, both for what it might say about the Eleventh Amendment and sovereign immunity in a federal system and how it might limit Congressional power to alter the general maritime law and admiralty jurisdiction. Also anxious for the Court's decision were the few maritime lawyers who practice what has become known as treasure salvage law.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard “Uncle Sam” in New Orleans Dan Rice (1823 – 1900), who has been called “The Most Famous Man You've Never Heard Of”, was the first truly great clown of the American circus. He was also an animal trainer, strong man, dancer, composer, commentator, homespun political humorist, actor, director, producer and politician. He transformed the circus into its modern-day model by mixing animals, acrobats and clowns. Before the Civil War (during the height of his career), Rice was more of a household name than Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain. “The Greatest Show on Earth” on Carondelet Street, 2012 Making popular the terms “Greatest Show” and “One Horse Show”, he was a dynamic force in America’s new “pop culture”. Decades before other circuses (especially the “Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus”) used the phrase, an Arkansas newspaper praised Rice’s as “The Greatest Show on Earth”. Early in his career with only a single horse, he was mocked by rival circuses who said he had a “One Horse Show”. Rice turned the derogatory expression into a plus by putting on a terrific show, and the phrase became attached to him thereafter. Rice was known as “The American Grimaldi”, after the inventive superstar of the Georgian pantomime, Joseph Grimaldi (1778 – 1837). Grimaldi was an innovator, acrobat and comic genius who pioneered the clown’s slap, wig, white face paint, red nose, flouncy trousers and huge shoes – for which he was nicknamed Joe Frankenstein (for Mary Shelley’s creation).
