Pittsford. "A country honors and strengthens itself which honors and respects those who have suffered in its defense." About a mile south of the village of Pittsford is the "Old South Free Cem­ etery"—filled with beautiful old head­ stones, erected with loving care; and many, no doubt at great personal and family sacrifice, going to ruin for the lack of just a little care and attention. The friendly myrtle has tried to conceal the neglect of years, and many stones now lying flat are entirely concealed. Here lie the pioneers of 1789, many of them Revolutionary soldiers. Their families are extinct or gone to other parts, and there is no one left to at­ tend to the sacred duty of preserving what little remains to tell of these brave, loyal men and their loved ones.

  • Chiricahuas Present a Verdant, Forested Island in a Sea of Desert
    Rising steeply from the dry grasslands of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, the Chiricahuas present a verdant, forested island in a sea of desert. Many species of trees, shrubs, and flowering herbs clothe steep canyon walls. Shady glens, alive with birds, are sheltered by rows of strange massive spires, turrets, and battlements in this fascinating wonderland of rocks. Story of the rocks-What geological forces created these striking and peculiar pinnacles and balanced rocks? Geolo- gists explain that millions of years ago volcanic activity was extensive throughout this region. A series of explosive eruptions, alternating with periods of inactivity, covered the area with layers of white-hot volcanic ash that welded into rock. Because the eruptions varied in magnitude, the deposits were of different thicknesses. Finally, the eruptions ceased, followed by movements in the earth's crust which slowly lifted and tilted great rock masses to form mountains. The stresses responsible for the movements caused a definite pattern of cracks. Along the vertical cracks and planes of horizontal weakness, ero- sion by weathering and running water began its persistent work. Cracks were widened to form fissures; and fissures grew to breaches. At the same time, under-cutting slowly took place. Gradually the lava masses were cut by millions of ero- sional channels into blocks of myriad sizes and shapes, to be further sculptured by the elements. Shallow canyons became deeper and more rugged as time passed. Weathered rock formed soil, which collected in pockets; and plants thus gained a foothold. Erosion is still going on slowly and persistently among the great pillared cliffs of the monument.

    NEW MEXICO Crossroads of NewandAncient 1999 – 2000 Speakers Bureau & Chautauqua Programs Millennium Edition N EW M EXICO E NDOWMENT FOR THE H UMANITIES ABOUT THE COVER: AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MARKO KECMAN of Aztec captures the crossroads of ancient and modern in New Mexico with this image of Comet Hale-Bopp over Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historic Park. Kecman wanted to juxtapose the new comet with the butte that was an astronomical observatory in the years 900 – 1200 AD. Fajada (banded) Butte is home to the ancestral Puebloan sun shrine popularly known as “The Sun Dagger” site. The butte is closed to visitors to protect its fragile cultural sites. The clear skies over the Southwest led to discovery of Hale-Bopp on July 22-23, 1995. Alan Hale saw the comet from his driveway in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and Thomas Bopp saw the comet from the desert near Stanfield, Arizona at about the same time. Marko Kecman: 115 N.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Stone Family Association,'' Whose Formation in 1897, Was Very Largely Due to Her Interest and Efforts
    STONE FAMILY ASSOCIATION, 1897-1901. CATALOGUE OF MEMBERS, WITH LINES OF DESCENT. EDITED FROM THE MEMBERSHIP BLANKS. BY AGNES WYMAN LINCOLN. BOSTON, 1901. This catalogue is NOT uerified genealogy, but an attempt to bring before the Association, for proof or disproof, the data sent the Secretary, to the end that all may better help in correcting errors, settling dcubt~; filling gaps, and collecting items of interest wherewith to clothe the skeleton of names and dates. No original investigation has been attempted, nor has there been time for correspondence to any large extent, but cor.siderable care has been taken in comparing the blanks with one another and such local histories as were at hand- especialJy Bond's History of Watertown, Temple's History of Framingham, Paige ·s History of Cambridge. Butler's History of Groton, Watertown Records [before 1700 J, Lexington Records [ to 1850 ], etc. Omissions in blanks have often been filled without note, but differences of data have been mentioned when noticed, unless they were known to be errors or were evidently pen-slips. A wife's maiden surname is enclosed in parentheses, and in the shortened formula, such as "Simon [b. 1631 J a1:d Mary (Whipple) Stone," brackets enclose the birth; otherwise, either? or (?_) or interpolations in ( ) were found in the blank in question, while [?] or interpolations in [ ], mark comment or additions by the editor from other sources.

JOHN COTTON'S MIDDLE WAY A THESIS presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by GARY A. ROWLAND August 2011 Copyright Gary A. Rowland 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Historians are divided concerning the ecclesiological thought of seventeenth-century minister John Cotton. Some argue that he supported a church structure based on suppression of lay rights in favor of the clergy, strengthening of synods above the authority of congregations, and increasingly narrow church membership requirements. By contrast, others arrive at virtually opposite conclusions. This thesis evaluates Cotton's correspondence and pamphlets through the lense of moderation to trace the evolution of Cotton's thought on these ecclesiological issues during his ministry in England and Massachusetts. Moderation is discussed in terms of compromise and the abatement of severity in the context of ecclesiastical toleration, the balance between lay and clerical power, and the extent of congregational and synodal authority.
