  • Jackie Clark Full Doc by Clive Allen-Paisley
    JACKIE CLARK’S FAMILY IN CAMPERDOWN The following article has been provided by historical society member Clive Allen-Paisley, 1st cousin 2 generations removed of Jackie Clark. Over a period of more than 20 years Clive’s great interest in Jackie has resulted in a large collection of material. Jackie’s paternal grandparents, John and Maria (nee Bishop) Clark emigrated from Gloucestershire, England in the early 1840’s with their five children, including eldest son Adolphus, Jackie’s father. Another four children were born from 1845 to 1855 while they resided at ‘Leura’, with the family believed to have been the first Europeans to live in the vicinity of the later surveyed town, Camperdown. John Clark was manager at Manifold’s Dairy Station on the north eastern edge of Camperdown, now known as ‘Werna’, which John Manifold later leased to Adolphus Clark. Jackie’s maternal grandparents, Richard and Margaret (nee Casey) Davis married at the Camperdown Presbyterian Manse in 1861. His mother Mary was born in 1862 and her brother Richard in 1863, after the death of his father. Margaret then married James Paisley, their eight children all born in Camperdown. The Story of Jackie Clark (Kangaroo Rocket) Camperdown Farmer’s Boy to World Famed Cyclist by Clive Allen-Paisley John Adolphus Clark (Jackie) was born in Camperdown on the 1st March 1884 to Adolphus and Mary Clark, nee Davis. Adolphus was a farmer in Camperdown, who leased land from the Manifold family. Some descendants of Mary Clark’s brother Richard Davis still reside in Camperdown. They are the descendants of Mary's brother Richard's (1864-1949) sons, John & Norman Davis.

Reference to a diamond W seems particularly apt, since I have often thought of the press as the “jewel in the crown” of Great Plains publishing. Always innovative—whether it was the bold idea more than fifty years ago to start a paperback reprint line called Bison Books, or the hunch that great works of fiction translated into English would eventually receive the honors they deserved, or the recent technological plunge into XML formatting, or the collaboration with the Jewish Publication Society, or the recent acquisition of Potomac Books—UNP has never failed to be at the forefront of scholarly and regional publishing. And it has paid off: threeUNP authors went on to become Nobel Laureates; one au- thor became a U.S. poet laureate and won a Pulitzer Prize; two authors in recent years won Bancroft Prizes (history’s highest honor); we recently ascended into the largest tier (in revenue) of university presses; and, of course, we continue to be committed to publishing and disseminating works of intellectual and cultural significance that move civilization forward. Just use this catalog as a barometer: the depth and breadth of our offerings are staggering. Our Native studies books include works on no fewer than seven different populations: Ojibwes, Comanches, Ho-Chunks, Lakotas, Kiowas, Salish, and Alto Perené Arawaks. We are pleased to publish a comprehensive biography of the great John G.
