THE PHILADELPHIA CAMPAIGN In Summary: We started this journey several issues ago beginning with . LANDING AT THE HEAD OF ELK - Over 260 British ships arrived at Head of Elk, Maryland. Washington was ready. The trip took overly long, horses died by the hundreds. British General Howe was anxious to move on, but first he had to unload his massive armada. ON THE MARCH TO BRANDYWINE - Howe heads for Philadelphia. Washington blocks the path. On the way to their first engagement of 1777, Washington exposes himself to capture, Howe misses an opportunity, the rains fall, and everyone seems prepared for what happens next. THE BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE- The first battle in the campaign. Howe conceives and executes a daring 17 mile march catching Washington by surprise. The Continental Army is impressive, but the day belongs to the British. THE BATTLE OF THE CLOUDS Both armies were poised for another major engagement Five days after the Battle of Brandywine, a confrontation is rained out PAOLI MASSACRE Bloody bayonets in a midnight raid Mad” Anthony Wayne, assigned to attack the rear guard of the British army, is himself surprised in a “dirty” early morning raid. MARCH TO GERMANTOWN Washington prepares to win back the capital Congress flees Philadelphia as the British occupy the city amid chaos and fear. THE BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN The battle is fought in and around a mansion. For the first time the British retreat during battle, but fog and confusion turned the American advance around.

    CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per­ petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew.

  • The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913
    The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913 Wendy Schiller Brown University Charles Stewart III The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 28-31st, 2008. The research in this paper was supported by NSF grant number 0518313. We thank the following research assistants for their unstinting work on this project: Kelly Bay, Matthew Corritore, Jennifer Davis, Keith Edwards, Dristin Falciglia, Marrisa Geller, Amy Goins, Andrew Gordon, Adam Groce, Laura Hajj, Tony Hill, Jeremy Johnson, Allison C. Jones, Jessica Karnis, Clare Kim, Eli Lewien, Kevin McDonald, Ruth Miller, Sandy Naing, Andreea O’Connell, Marit Schroeder, HyeMee Shin, Gabriella Wakeman, Raffaela Wakeman, and Daniel Yelin. The American parties, with the party organization now their dominant part, had reached their "golden age" by the beginning of the 1900s. Party organizations now existed in all the states and localities and flourished in the industrial cities. Party discipline was at a record high in Congress and most state legislatures. Parties ran campaigns for public office; they held rallies and torchlight parades, canvassed door-to-door, and brought voters to the polls. They controlled access to many government jobs ranging from street inspectors to members of the U.S. Senate.1 The post-Civil War period of American politics is widely regarded as a time when strong parties dominated American politics, not only at the national level, but at the state level, too. A key element of this party domination worked through the United States Senate, which was linked to the states through the mechanism of state legislatures electing U.S.

  • 2015-06 Putnam County, NY
    The Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture. Historic Garrison, Putnam County June 20, 2015 Mandeville House From Wikipedia.com The Mandeville House is located on Lower Station Road in Garrison, New York, United States, just west of its intersection with NY 9D and 403. It is the oldest extant house in that community, dating to 1735 according to its National Register of Historic Places nomination report. The house is situated on a wooded lot of almost 5 acres (2.0 ha), just across from the similarly pre-Revolutionary buildings and structures of the Garrison Grist Mill Historic District on Highlands Golf Club (which we will be visiting those structures later in the tour). It is an eight- bay, one-story structure with three shed-roofed dormer windows on and two chimneys piercing its gabled, shingled roof. Its main facade has six bays with the main entrance in the third from the east. It is surrounded with a shed hood, fluted pilasters and a stoop with two Dutch-style benches. There are several wings, including a cross-gabled rear and a garage connected to the main house by breezeway. The interior has some original paneling and trim, particular around the fireplaces in the main block. Most of the other trim is from the Colonial Revival restoration in the 1920s. In 1697 William III granted the property that included the future Mandeville House to Adolphe Philipse, whose family owned much of today's Putnam County. He is the first European owner of record. Thirty-eight years later, in 1735, Jacob Mandeville, leased 400 acres (160 ha) in the area of present-day Garrison, married and likely built the first part of the house.
