Y. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Miscellaneous Directories PREFACE HE Sixteenth edition of THE BLUE BOOK is presented with the hope that it will merit the generous reception accorded its predecessors. We desire especially to thank our patrons for their consistent and substantial sup­ port of our efforts. We have striven to make this edition more complete and valuable than the past. The difficulties, particu­ larly in these days, attending the compiling of this book should be appreciated; and while the Publishers will in no way be responsible for any errors that may occur, we trust any inaccuracies or omissions will be brought to our notice, so they may be corrected in the next edition. THE BLUE BOOK is neither a city directory nor abso­ lutely an elite directory; neither do we pretend to pass upon the social or financial standing of the persons whose names are contained therein. In an area as extensive as this book embraces it is impossible for everybody to know everyone else. But it is possible for people to know many other people of a similar mode of life, such as characterizes the numerous clubs and organizations, both city and suburban, of your locality. For members of these and their friends, THE BLUE BOOK is meant to serve as a directory, setting forth such personal infor­ mation as may be useful and needful; but not available elsewhere. The title "BLUE BOOK" does not refer to blue blood, as many people suppose. Webster's defines Blue Book as follows: "Blue Boole—a book containing a list of fashionable addresses." It has been published regularly for over thiry years and should not be confused with any imitative or transitory publication. Kindly forward any information that will aid in keeping.yours or other listings correct to The Blue Books Company, 224th Street, Springfield Gardens, N. Y. THE PUBLISHERS.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

  • Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers
    Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers Buffalo Soldiers – A term coined for those African-Americans who served with the US Army after the Civil War. The term “Buffalo Soldiers” has been attributed to several sources for the units formed after 1866 by an act of Congress. Originally Congress reorganized the Army after the Civil War and created two “Black” Calvary Units (9th and10th U.S. Cavalry) and four Infantry Regiments (the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry Regiments (Colored)). (The 38th and 41st were reorganized as the 25th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters in Jackson Barracks in New Orleans, Louisiana, in November 1869. The 39th and 40th were reorganized as the 24th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters at Fort Clark, Texas, in April 1869. [Wikipedia]) It is the 9th & 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments best known for fighting in the West against the Indian Tribes. 22 Buffalo Soldiers received the Medal of Honor during the Indian Wars. Page 1 of 5 Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 According to the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum, the name originated with the Cheyenne warriors in the winter of 1877, the actual Cheyenne translation being "Wild Buffalo". However, writer Walter Hill documented the account of Colonel Benjamin Grierson, who founded the 10th Cavalry regiment, recalling an 1871 campaign against the Comanche. Hill attributed the origin of the name to the Comanche due to Grierson's assertions. The Apache used the same term ("We called them 'buffalo soldiers', because they had curly, kinky hair ... like bisons") a claim supported by other sources.[3][4] Some sources assert that the nickname was given out of respect for the fierce fighting ability of the 10th Cavalry.[5] Still other sources point to a combination of both legends.[6] The term Buffalo Soldiers became a generic term for all black soldiers.

  • City of Port Phillip Heritage Review
    City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Identifier: Pier Hotel Citation No: Formerly: Pier Hotel 608 Address: 1 Bay Street, corner of Beach Street, Heritage Precinct Overlay: N/a PORT MELBOURNE Heritage Overlay: HO462 Category: Commercial Graded as: Significant Constructed: 1860s?/c. 1937 Designer: Unknown Amendment: C103 Comment: Updated citation History The first Pier Hotel on the subject site was established in September 1840 by Wilbraham Liardet, an early and prominent settler of Port Melbourne. Liardet had arrived at Port Melbourne in 1839.i He soon established a mail service from arriving ships to the township of Melbourne, and opened his timber hotel (the second at Sandridge), in September 1840, at a cost of £1300. ii The hotel was originally known as the Brighton Pier Hotel, apparently reflecting Liardet’s view that Sandridge be known as Brighton.iii By that summer, the Pier Hotel was described as a ‘magnificent house’, serving refreshments to those who arrived from Melbourne to visit the beach.iv Liardet’s fortunes soon fell, however, and he was declared bankrupt in January 1845.v He was unable to purchase the land on which his hotel stood at the first land sales of Sandridge in September 1850, and the allotment was instead purchased by DS Campbell and A Lyell.vi By 1857, the Pier Hotel comprised two sitting rooms, four bedrooms, a bar and four other rooms, and was rated with a net annual value of £350, and was owned by WJT Clarke and operated by James Garton. vii Clarke was a large landowner and prominent member of Victorian Colonial society, and a member of the Legislative Council between 1856 and 1870.viii City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Citation No: 608 Figure 1 Detail of a photograph of Bay Street Port Melbourne looking north, c.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers.Pdf
    '[fie tsuffato Sofdiers' Nearly sixteen months after the end of the Civil War, Section 3 of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to increase and fix the Military Peace Establkhment of the Unitd Stadrs'authorized the formation of two regiments of cavalry composed of "coiored" men. The act was approved on 28 July 1865. On 21 September 18,55, the 9th Cavalry Regiment was activated at Greenvilie, Louisiana, and the 10th Cavalry Regiment was activated at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Under the competent leadership of Colonels Edward Hatch and Benjamin Grierson, fust Regimental Commanders of the 9th and iOth Cavalry Regiments, respectively, both regiments were trained and equipped and began a iong and proud history. For over two decades, the 9th and 10th Cavairy Regiments conducted campaigns against American Indian tribes on a Western Frontier that extended from Montana in the Northwest to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona in the Southwest. They engaged in several skirmishes against such great Indian Chiefs as Victorio, Geronimo, and Naaa. 'Buffalo Soldiers" was the naane given the black cavalrymm by the Plains Indians. Reason for the name is uncertain. One view is that the Indians saw a resembiance between the black man's hair and the mane of a buffalo. Another view is that when a buffalo was wounded or cornered, it fought ferociously, displaying unusual stamina and courage. This was the same fighting spirit Indiaru saw in combat with black cavalrFren. Since Indians held thebuffalo in such high regard, it was felt that the narne was not given in contempt. When not engaged in combat with Indians, both regiments built forts and roads, installed telegraph lines, located water holes, escorted wagon trains and cattle drives, rode 'shotgrrn" on stagecoach and mail runs, and protected settlers from renegade Indians, outlaws, and Mexican revolutionaries.

A provision of the 1866 legislation created six regiments of African-American troops-- four infantry and two cavalry--of approximately 1,000 men each; and WHEREAS, the troops were placed under the command of Colonels Benjamin Grierson and Edward Hatch. African-Americans from the North and South, many of them freed slaves, enlisted in what became the 9th and 10th United States Cavalry Regiments.

LIBRARIAN, NORWICH UNIVERSITY Vt^^o^ ®ljp ©ptninn Prrsa lanr Note—It is our -purpose in presenting this "Roster of the Alumni and Past Cadets" of the University, to give a few of the more important positions held by the men; their highest rank in the National Guard and the military service of the country. This record is necessarily incomplete and in many cases it was impossible to give the present address of the men, but Avith the co- operation of our Alumni and friends, we can make this "Roster" practically complete. The Roster of Past Cadets includes the names of the men who have been in attendance two years. We earnestlv request that our Alumni and friends read this Roster through carefully and inform the compiler of any change or addition. A large portion of the data used in compiling this "Roster" was taken from the "History of Norwich University, 1819-98" published in 1898. A second edition of the history of the University is being compiled, and will be ready for distribution by the commencement of 1908. This history will cover the period from 1866 to date, and will include the sketches of the men left out in the first ediion.
