RETURN TO TABLE of CONTENTS Page | 6 The Mission Statement of Clem’s Primer: Yeah, there really is a reason for all this stuff! Clem’s Primer is a composite of the personal experiences and views of several attendees and is designed to enrich Eastern Division, TCA’s York Week Experience. The Eastern Division, TCA, York Meet Notice is the official document for the York Meet. The Primer is not sponsored by any organization; business or company nor does it sell, endorse or promote a particular product. If you have a question about an activity or event listed herein, please contact the listed sponsor. Events off the York Fairgrounds/NTTM site are not TCA sponsored. This version of the Primer negates all previous versions. In my view, York is much more than a train-meet. It is about the gathering of families, friends and acquaintances. -Your TCA Family- This Primer highlights the TCA Eastern Division York Train Meet; the TCA National Toy Train Museum, National Toy Train Library and National Business Office Activities; member meetings and specified train group activities; non-TCA sponsored train events locally; local attractions; restaurants, tips on navigating the events and the locale. For the price of admission which includes free parking, this is the best deal for a 3-day train meet in the universe. My hope is that the Primer will help you enjoy the week as much as I do. - Clem - “New info, updated from the previous version, is presented in RED” RETURN TO TABLE of CONTENTS Eastern Division Presidents Message: John Zobel: I I wish to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! We at the Eastern Division-TCA are looking forward with great anticipation to some new developments coming this year. The first change to the Division will be three new Board members as elected by our membership last Fall. I welcome Frank Nichols and Nicholas Tentzeras as new Directors-at-Large to the Board and Dave Eadie as the new WB&A Chapter Representative. Former WB&A Chapter Representative Dan Danielson was elected Vice President. Retiring from the Board are Sam Geiser, Lee Wood and Bill McCluskey who have served as Board members for several years and were an integral part of the success of the Eastern Division. This new Board will be responsible for moving forward with the second new opportunity this year: opening the York show to the general public. For the first time the York show will be admitting the public into our Dealer halls, only, as allowed by Pennsylvania state tax law. Our Member halls will continue to be open to TCA members only. The public admittance will begin at 9:00 AM Friday and continue to 4:00 PM Saturday of York week. I encourage those TCA members attending the York show to bring family, friends and neighbors to enjoy all the benefits of our fantastic York show. Public attendees will be able to join TCA on the spot at TCA booths in the Silver and Orange halls to gain immediate admittance to all of the Member halls as well. Refer to our website: www.easterntca.com or call the Registration Help Desk: 1-814-928-0196 if you need any further information. Page | 7 Eastern Division President’s Message (continued) I am happy to report our TCA is alive and well and growing membership again after a few years of decline. Our National TCA organization has created new classes of membership to encourage more people to join as well as offering the opportunity for previous members to rejoin with no penalties. Please contact the National Business Office: 1-717-687-8623 for further information. It is now up to all of us TCA members and toy train enthusiasts to spread the word and share the enjoyment that comes from participating in our hobby.

  • THE FORT PITT BLOCK HOUSE Prepared by Kelly Linn - January 2008
    THE FORT PITT BLOCK HOUSE Prepared by Kelly Linn - January 2008 The Block House is just one small defensive redoubt and the only surviving structure of Fort Pitt - a key British fortification during the French and Indian War in North America (or the Seven Years War as it is known in Europe). Constructed as the second largest British fort on the colonial frontier, Fort Pitt measured about 18 acres. Crown Point in New York was the largest covering 3.5 square miles. Both of these installations date to the same military era. Fort Pitt was constructed at the Forks of the Ohio (now the Point at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) between 1759 and 1761. It was a classic star-shaped fort with 5 bastions projecting from the corners. The Music Bastion and the Grenadiers Bastion were on the east, or land side, of the Point, the Flag and Monongahela Bastions fronted the Monongahela River and the Ohio Bastion overlooked the Allegheny River floodplain. Only the eastern walls were faced with brick to repel cannon fire; the remaining walls of the fort were earthen ramparts covered with sod. The walls of the fort averaged a height of 15 feet above the Monongahela terrace upon which it was constructed. In January 1762 - only a few months after the fort was completed - flood waters from the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers crested at nearly 40 feet inflicting heavy damage to the fort. Repairs were made, but in March 1763, another flood cresting at 41 feet, destroyed the Ohio Bastion entirely and heavily damaged the Monongahela Bastion a second time.

  • Post-Presidential Speeches
    Post-Presidential Speeches • Fort Pitt Chapter, Association of the United States Army, May 31, 1961 General Hay, Members of the Fort Pitt Chapter, Association of the United States Army: On June 6, 1944, the United States undertook, on the beaches of Normandy, one of its greatest military adventures on its long history. Twenty-seven years before, another American Army had landed in France with the historic declaration, “Lafayette, we are here.” But on D-Day, unlike the situation in 1917, the armed forces of the United States came not to reinforce an existing Western front, but to establish one. D-Day was a team effort. No service, no single Allied nation could have done the job alone. But it was in the nature of things that the Army should establish the beachhead, from which the over-running of the enemy in Europe would begin. Success, and all that it meant to the rights of free people, depended on the men who advanced across the ground, and by their later advances, rolled back the might of Nazi tyranny. That Army of Liberation was made up of Americans and Britons and Frenchmen, of Hollanders, Belgians, Poles, Norwegians, Danes and Luxembourgers. The American Army, in turn, was composed of Regulars, National Guardsmen, Reservists and Selectees, all of them reflecting the vast panorama of American life. This Army was sustained in the field by the unparalleled industrial genius and might of a free economy, organized by men such as yourselves, joined together voluntarily for the common defense. Beyond the victory achieved by this combined effort lies the equally dramatic fact of achieving Western security by cooperative effort.

But before Guyasuta was established in 1918, the land was home to multiple generations of a prominent Pittsburgh family. It also served as the burial ground for a famous Native American. It has hosted lively parties, protected wildlife as a sanctuary, and was the center of a contentious battle between the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and a “silver-haired old woman.”2 WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY | WINTER 2011-12 19 Darlington estate Guyasuta including the home with circular drive as depicted on a Hopkins map, 1897.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

Williams Part Four ' v Ihe much delayed arrival of General Mclntosh at Pittsburgh was -*• noticed in the foregoing (third) 1 part of this review of the impact of Fort Pitt upon a 450-mile front on the western frontier. Some of the nearly insurmountable physical problems confronting Mclntosh from the very beginning of his taking command, also the discord lead- ing to clashes of personalities, were indicated. Mclntosh, upon his arrival, found awaiting him two of the com- missioners representing Congress, Brigadier General Andrew Lewis and his brother, Thomas, who had preceded him by six days. In the general's own words :"Iarived here on the 1st Day this mon. [August 1778] ...and matters Ibelieve willturn out much as Iexpected. The Indian Agent [George Morgan] at Congress. No Indians Assembled. The Instructions for ye Commissioners not come to hand.
