"I could search and at the same time get paid for it," he said. After approximately seven years of employment in Indianapolis, IN, Harold and Jessie purchased their first farm nestled among Old maps of southern Indiana track the buffaloes' path northwest the rolling hills of Orange County in southern Indiana.

Before his eyesight failed, he was an avid to move and are loud and uneasy until Owen opens the gate and reader with a large private collection of books. His knowledge on drives them into a fresh pasture. the subject is vast and some consider him an expert on the Buf- falo Trace in southern Indiana. He said he imagined the pack thinking, "It's time to go. Go to the prairies. Go to where the good grass grows." Through the years, Owen has discovered several pieces of the trace near his home and, despite his weakening vision, can lead Stevens to the exact location of each remnant. Owen was diagnosed with vascular de- terioration four years ago when several blood vessels broke be- hind his eyes. He has found bits of the trace at Youngs Creek and discovered complete sections at Cane Creek near the Orange-Dubois county line. There, parts of the trace are now paved, such as County Road 375 South. Occasionally the buffaloes' 12-foot wide and four-foot deep paths will dart off and rejoin the highway farther down. Owen said this is because the paved sections often travel through marshes, something the buffaloes would never do. "The buffaloes had a better way," he said. "They always kept solid ground under their feet. They didn't go through any swamps. That's the reason why it's curved in so many places." (Continued on page 3) Page 3 Owen Newsletter January 2001 (Continued from page 2) Owen discovered these areas by searching along the map's route for wide, worn gaps with solid ground underneath, usually along old roads or riverbeds. The buffalo stomped through these paths year after year until the ground was like concrete, Owen said. While some parts are filled in or grown up with brush, Owen be- lieves there are enough pieces left worth preserving. "After it's gone, what would you give to get it back?" he asked. "What would it be worth?" Owen a father, grandfather and great-grandfather said it could have been his love of reading that guided him to be so interested in the trace. In the 1950s, he became curious about the trace when a group of Jesuits were surveying it as part of a special history project. He asked an archeologist friend about it who gave him the book, "Early Indiana Trails and Surveys" by George R. Wil- son, as a research tool. "It helped to stir up my eagerness to search for it," he said. The Buffalo Trace trail winds thorough southern Orange County. When his eyesight was better, he would study old maps and even sketch a few of his own, marking the places he discovered. He had built quite a collection until a fire destroyed his house, and his maps, in 1991. Owen recently shared his research with Dale Phillips from the Disocovery of the Grave of Edy Owen National Park Service. Phillips is working with the U.S. 50/150 Scenic Byway Committee to have those roads, along with the trace, designated as scenic highways. The designation would al- low the use of federal funds to post identifying markers at those locations.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 30 April Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Apr 16 1738 – American Revolution: Blamed for the loss of the 13 colonies » Henry Clinton, the future commander in chief of British forces charged with suppressing the rebellion in North America, is born in Newfoundland, Canada. Henry Clinton Henry Clinton’s father, George, was the royal governor of Newfoundland at the time of his birth. He was made the royal governor of New York in 1743, and Henry spent eight years in that colony before moving to England and taking a military commission in the Coldstream Guards in 1751. By 1758, Henry Clinton had earned the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Grenadier Guards. He continued to distinguish himself as a soldier during the Seven Years’ War and, in 1772, achieved two significant feats for a man born in the colonies–the rank of major general in the British army and a seat in Parliament. Clinton’s part in the War of American Independence began auspiciously. He arrived with Major General William Howe and, after the draw at Bunker Hill, served in the successful capture of New York City and the Battle of Long Island, which earned him the rank of lieutenant general and membership in the Most Honourable Order of Bath as a KCB, or Knight Commander of the British Empire, which conferred to him the title of Sir. After Howe performed poorly at Saratoga and was demoted, Clinton was promoted to commander in chief of Britain’s North American forces in 1778.

  • Une Histoire Qui Ne Manque Pas De Sel ! Jean-Louis Maurette
    Epave de la Soufa au large d’Eilat. (Peinture d’Andrei Loubianov) une histoire qui ne manque pas de sel ! Jean-Louis Maurette Le 21 octobre 1967, le destroyer israélien Eilat (1) effectue une classique opération de surveillance au large de Port Saïd. Cet ex. bâtiment britannique, bien que fl euron de la petite marine israélienne, est d’une conception ancienne et dispose d’un système d’armes datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Si ses opérateurs radar peuvent détecter les deux vedettes égyptiennes venant à la rencontre de leur navire, il leur est impossible, vu la vétusté de leur matériel, de se rendre compte rapidement que quatre missiles SS-N-2 Styx viennent d’être tirés et foncent sur l’Eilat, rasant les fl ots à 900 km/h. Quelques minutes plus tard, trois des missiles percutent le vieux navire qui explose et coule en quelques minutes. Sur un équipage de 190 hommes, 47 sont tués et 41 sont blessés. Arrivée d’une des « vedettes de Cherbourg » dans le port d’Haïfa. (1) Destroyer ex. britannique de la classe Z, anciennement HMS Zealous. Commandé le 12 février 1942 aux chantiers Cammell Laird et lancé le 28 février 1944 pour la Royal Navy. Vendu à Israël le 15 juillet 1955. Longueur 80,1m, largeur 10,9m. Déplacement 1710 tonneaux. Propulsion : 2 turbines développant 40 000 cv. Vitesse maximale 37 nœuds. 186 hommes d’équipage. Armement : 4 canons de 11,4 cm, 5 canons Bofors de 4 cm, 8 tubes lance-torpilles de 53,3 cm. 20 L’entrée brutale du missile mer-mer dans le confl it israélo-arabe vient soudainement transformer toutes les conceptions de la guerre navale moderne alors en cours et cette salve de Styx déclenche une véritable révolution dans la stratégie navale.

  • U. S. S. Belknap (DLG-26) Boston Naval Shipyard Boston, Massachusetts 7 November 1964 Naval Commissioning
    U. S. S. Belknap (DLG-26) Boston Naval Shipyard Boston, Massachusetts 7 November 1964 Naval Commissioning The moment the commission pennant is broken at the masthead, the USS BELKNAP (DLG-26) becomes a naval ship of war, ready to serve her country in all respects. The commission pennant is a distinctive mark of a ship of the navy in commission, and is flown from the masthead, except when a personal flag displaces the commission pennant. The commission pennant dates back to the 17th century war be- tween Holland and England. The Dutch admiral, Admiral Tromp, hoisted a broom at his masthead, indicating his intention to sweep the British from the sea. This gesture was answered by the British admiral who hoisted a horsewhip, indicating the British intention to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their boast and ever since, the nar- row, coach whip pennant (symbolizing the original horsewhip) has been the distinctive mark of a ship of war, and has been adopted by all nations. The modern, U. S. Navy commission pennant is blue at the hoist, with a union of seven white stars, and a red and white stripe at the fly, in two horizontal stripes. In lieu of a commission pennant, flag ships fly commodores' or admirals' personal flags. UNITED STATES SHIP BELKNAP (DESTROYER LEADER GUIDED MISSILE SHIP-26) Built by Bath Iron Works Corporation Bath, Maine Keel Laid — 3 February 1962 Launched — 20 July 1963 Commissioned — 7 November 1964 SPONSOR Mrs. Leonard B.
