  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

  • CHAPTER XIII GENEALOGICAL TABLES EXPLANATION the Progenitors of the Baltic Family in America, So Far As Is Known, Were John Batt
    CHAPTER XIII GENEALOGICAL TABLES EXPLANATION The progenitors of the BaltIc family in America, so far as is known, were John Battle and Mathew Battle (probably John's brother). In the following Tables are gil'en, as far as they could be procured, the names of all their descend­ ants, with such facts about each as seemed most worth selling down. Tables 1-78 give the descendants of John, Tables 7'1--87 those of Mathew. The inset key shows the relation of the Tables. The reference under the names hending a Table shows the previous Table in which the descent of the first name may be traced. For example, in Table 10 under the heading Henr!l Laure1ls Battle etc. the reference, See Table 9, means that Henry Laurens Battle's dcscent may bt' traced in Table 9. The letter and numbers before the first name of a Table sl;ow the manner of descent from John or Mathew Battle. For example, in Table 10, J. 1. 2. 6. S. S. 7. Henr!l Laurens Battle means that Henry Laurens Battle was the seventh child of the third child of the third child of the sixth child of the second child of the first child of John Battle. Similarly in Table 79, M. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 5. Nicholas JVilliam Bat­ tle means that Nicholas William Battle was the fifth child of the first child of the first child of the first child of the first child of the first child of Mathew Battle. After the first name of each Table are given, where pOSSible, present or last place of residence, occupation, placc and date of birth, place and date of death, manner of education, items of special interest, religious affiliation, place and date of marriage, name of husband or wife with, in parenthesis, the place and date of birth an~ death of that husband or wife and the names of the parents.

    Old Marblehead Sea Captains and the Ships in Which They Sailed Compiled and Published for the Benefit of the MARBLEHEAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY By Benjamin J. LINDSEY, Treasurer 1915 Copyrighted by BENJAMIN J. LINDSEY, 1915 Marblehead, Mass. ABBREVIATIONS S P - Ship' Paper or Pass (see cut; page 23) C P - Clearance Paper (see Cut) page 52 and 98. M V S - Marblehead Vital Statistics G C. - Capt. George Cloutman's Letter Book G B - Glover Broughton INTRODUCTION The information contained in this volume has been obtained by careful and persistent research from widely distributed sources viz: the Marblehead and Salem and Beverly Custom House Records, original books of the Marble- head Marine Insurance Company, covering five thousand policies running from 1800 to 1840, list of Marblehead Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War (compiled in 1912-13 by the author), old log books, old letter books, old newspapers, list of Privateersmen of 1812 made up by Capt. Glover Broughton in a memorial to the 34th, 35th and 36th Congresses asking for grants of land for services rendered, and from the descendants of the men mentioned. This volume is intended to be a fairly accurate list of the Old Sea Captains of Marblehead, and the vessels in which they sailed, going to and from foreign ports. The list of the names of the men is very nearly complete, but the list of the vessels is not as satisfactory, it being at this late date practically impossible to obtain complete information. Of the five hundred men mentioned, but two are alive at this time, Captain John D.
