"Veteran Status, Marital Infidelity, and Divorce," a paper presented at last year's American Sociological Association Meeting, found that: 32 percent of veterans who were ever married reported that they'd had extra-marital sex, compared with 16.8 percent of ever-married non-veterans; 38.5 percent of ever-married veterans had gotten divorced, compared with 28.9 percent of ever-married non-veterans; 2 For both veterans and non-veterans, sexual infidelity is likely to lead to divorce. People who reported that they'd cheated on their spouses were more than 2.3 times more likely to have gotten divorced than those who hadn't been unfaithful. The paper used data from the 1992 National Health and Social Life Survey, focusing on 2,308 18-to-60-year-olds who had been married at least once. "Although it is now two decades old, the NHSLS is one of the few national data sets that includes questions about whether respondents have ever served in the military, extramarital sex, and marital and divorce history," said Andrew S. London, sociology professor at Syracuse University, after the paper was published last year.

The table echoed with questions: “When were you in?” and “What branch?” The women swapped stories over Mexican food, beers and pie. But they also offered each other advice about insurance, employment issues and medical problems. It was Wednesday of the week leading up to Veterans Day, and they were starting an all-women American Legion post — a place where women veterans could talk about experiences and issues all their own.

Throughout the morning, Knyphausen met stiff resistance from the Patriot riflemen inside, but by the afternoon the Americans were overwhelmed, and the garrison commander, Colonel Robert Magaw, surrendered. Valuable ammunition and supplies were lost to the Hessians and 2,818 Americans were taken prisoner. The prisoners faced a particularly grim fate. Many later died from deprivation and disease aboard British prison ships anchored in New York Harbor. Among the 53 dead and 96 wounded Patriots were John and Margaret Corbin of Virginia. When John died in action, his wife Margaret took over his cannon, cleaning, loading and firing the gun until she too was severely wounded. The first woman known to have fought for the Continental Army, Margaret survived, but lost the use of her left arm. Two weeks earlier, William Demont had deserted from the Fifth Pennsylvania Battalion and given British intelligence agents information about the Patriot defense of New York, including information about the location and defense of Fort Washington. Demont was the first traitor to the Patriot cause, and his treason contributed significantly to Knyphausen’s victory.

Initially uninterested in politics, Taylor nonetheless ran as a Whig in the 1848 presidential election, defeating Lewis Cass. Taylor was the last President to hold slaves while in office, and the last Whig to win a presidential election. Known as "Old Rough and Ready," Taylor had a forty-year military career in the United States Army, serving in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Second Seminole War. He achieved fame leading American troops to victory in the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican–American War. As president, Taylor angered many Southerners by taking a moderate stance on the issue of slavery.

  • Comsubforpac USS SCULPIN (SS 191)
    USS Sculpin (SS 191) Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet USS SCULPIN (SS 191) November 19, 1943 - 62 Men Lost En route to Johnston Island, SCULPIN, under Cmdr. Fred Connaway, left Pearl Harbor on 5 November 1943. After topping off with fuel, she left Johnston on 7 November to conduct her ninth patrol in an area in the Caroline Islands. Her mission was to support the action of our surface forces in the Gilbert Islands by intercepting and attacking any enemy forces which might be proceeding from Truk toward the Marshall Islands to oppose our surface forces. She was to leave her area on 14 December, and return to Pearl Harbor, stopping at Johnston for fuel if necessary. SCULPIN was not heard from following her departure from Johnston Island on 7 November. During the patrol, Commander John P. Cromwell (promoted Captain during the patrol) was aboard SCULPIN. He was to take charge of a coordinated attack group consisting of SCULPIN, SEARAVEN, and either APOGON or SPEARFISH, if formation of the group were directed by dispatch. Should the group be ordered formed, Captain Cromwell would transmit his orders to them by low frequency radio from SCULPIN. On the night of 29 November, the vessels were directed to form and APOGON was named as the third member of the group. When Captain Cromwell gave no rendezvous orders after 40 hours, ComSubPac sent new orders. SCULPIN was to proceed immediately to Eniwetok, make a close observation, and report any enemy shipping. This was done in order to avoid confusion among the other submarines, and to determine whether SCULPIN was all right.

  • The USS Sculpin (SS-191)
    The USS Sculpin (SS-191) On the night of November 18, 1943 the USS Sculpin (SS-191), a Sargo-class submarine on its ninth patrol, made radar contact on a Japanese convoy and managed to make an end around for what promised to be a successful approach for a dawn attack. However, during the morning attack phase, she was detected by a Japanese destroyer and forced to go deep. While Lt. Commander Fred Connaway and the Sculpin crew listened, the enemy convoy zig-zagged toward her. About an hour later, believing they were in the clear, the submarine rose to periscope depth in hopes of catching the enemy convoy before it moved out of range, but immediately dove again after realizing they had surfaced just 6,000 yards from a destroyer that was lagging behind the convoy. Depth charges ensued from the Japanese destroyer, the Yamagumo, and after hours of being attacked and searched for, by noon it was believed that they had shaken the enemy. An inspection determined that the Sculpin received only minor damage and was fundamentally sound. The diving officer tried to bring her to periscope depth but the depth gauge stuck at 125 feet so the Sculpin surfaced rather abruptly. Once again, Commander Connaway found himself staring at the destroyer headed straight for him. From the conning tower, Connaway screamed for an emergency dive, slammed the hatch behind him and the Sculpin dove deep. The Yamagumo dropped 18 depth charges in close succession, one of which impeded the submarine’s ability to control its depth. As the sub rapidly dove past her maximum depth of 250 feet, she began to leak as the rivets and seams began to give due to the pressure, the steering and diving plane gear were damaged, and she was badly out of trim.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
