DEADLIEST AMERICAN DISASTERS AND LARGE LOSS-OF-LIFE EVENTS1 Homepage: http://www.usdeadlyevents.com/ A Catalog of, and Notes on, Natural and Man-Made Events Causing Ten or More Fatalities in America/The United States and its Territories Since 1492 CHRONOLOGY B.

There are a number in instances where, for a variety of reasons, we enter an event with fewer than 10 fatalities. We do not, though, include these in tally. 2 Cofitachequi is the name the Spaniards of Hernando de Soto’s expedition gave to these natives. Some speculate they could have been Catawban. (Holleman, Joey. “The lost tribe of South Carolina.” The State, 7-5-2009.) 3 No estimate at all is made of the Natives killed, thus we have conjectured the number “more than 20,” as a very conservative, we think, estimate of the number of Natives killed. We know from Duncan’s account (Hernando de Sota, 1995) that the “Chicasa” attacked with a force of over three hundred about seven days earlier. Duncan, pulling from the accounts of the expedition afterwards, notes that there was a rout and a “pent-up rage” slaughter. It was usual for this particular force to kill all they could kill when in battle. There must have been a Native force again of something in the neighborhood of 300. We suspect that dozens, if not many dozens, were killed. 4 Refers to those burned at the stake, not to the Natives killed in fighting, or killed after surrender by “lancing.” 1 8. 1542 --~Mid-May, Massacre, de Soto’s men attack Natives in Nilco province town, AR-~100 9. 1553 -- Hurricane, Lower Coast of TX --1,700 10. 1554 -- April, Hurricane, today’s Brownsville, TX --50-100 11. 1565 -- Sep 20, Massacre, Spanish troops kill male French colonists, Fort Caroline FL5-~140 12. 1585 -- June-June 1586, Disease, Natives visited by English from Roanoke Colony, NC >360 13. 1586 -- Passamaquoddy Natives “Devastated” by Typhus Epidemic, Maine --Hundreds? 1597 -- Natives Massacre St. Franciscan Missionaries, Guale (St. Catherine Island), GA-- 5 14. 1598 -- Dec 4, Pueblo Natives kill Juan de Zaldivar & soldiers seeking corn flour, W NM -13 15. 1599 -- Jan 21, Spanish (Oñate) Massacre Acoma Natives, punitive expedition, NM-300-800 16. 1607 -- July-Dec, Disease and Starvation, Jamestown Colony, VA -- 66 17. 1609-10 Winter, Starvation, Disease, Attack, Jamestown Colony, VA >400-440 18. 1616 -- Unknown Epidemic Disease, Natives, especially ~coasts of MA, ME, RI--Thousands 19. 1616 -- George Yeardley, Dep.

The Commissioners of the Massachusetts Nautical School have the honor to submit their report for the year ending November 30, 1925, the thirty-fourth annual report. The Massachusetts Nautical School, created under an act of the General Court of 1891, is now in its thirty-fifth year of active service. Two thousand three hundred and eighty-five sons of citizens of Massachusetts have entered the school, 1,190 have completed the course and received diplomas, and of these about 95 per cent have served at sea in the merchant marine of the United States or are em- ployed in connection with shipping. The ship upon which the school is conducted is loaned by the United States Navy, and maintained in repair by the Navy. The Federal Government con- tributes annually under an act of Congress, the sum of $25,000 towards the main- tenance of the school. The Commonwealth appropriates the balance of the cost of maintenance, about $65,000 each year. The present ship, formerly the U.S.S.

The album contains nearly 200 original photographs (numbered sequentially at the top), most of which were autographed by their subjects. The photo- graphs were collected by John Hay, an author and statesman who was Lin- coln's private secretary from 1860 to 1865. For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
