Gov. Colden to the Earl of Dartmouth, Oct. 5, 1774: “A great deal of pains has been taken to persuade the counties to choose delegates for the Congress, or to adopt those sent by the city of New York. Several counties have refused. In Queens county, where I have a house, and reside in the summer season, six persons have not been got ! to meet for the purpose, and the inhabitants remain firm in their resolu tion not to join in the Congress.” f “The supervisor, Capt. Benjamin Whitehead, had received a letter from the New-York Committee, but on consulting with the leading men of the town, he concluded to take no notice of it.” 3. January 19th, 1775.

At the height of the Cold War, Joe Alsop is the nation’s most influential journalist—beloved, feared, and courted by the Washington world. But as the 1960s dawn and America undergoes dizzying change, the intense political dramas Joe is embroiled in become deeply personal as well. “Gripping and moving” – Variety * Ensemble member of American Blues Theater 2 AMERICAN BLUES THEATER TABLE OF CONTENTS Note from Producing Artistic Director Gwendolyn Whiteside …………………………………………………………...…..Page 4 About Playwright David Auburn..................................................................................................................Page 5 Interview with Playwright David Auburn........................………………….……………………………………………..........Page 6 The Backstory with Actor Ian Paul Custer....……....…………………………....…………………....................................Page 7 About David Halberstam.................................................…………………………………………….………………...……....Page 7 Interview with Actors Philip Earl Johnson and Kymberly Mellen…………………………………………................Pages 8-9 Interview with Costume Designer Christopher J.

Bissell Jr.’s personal and professional lives. Included herein are files documenting his childhood, his personal life, his career at the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA), his career at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), organizations to which he belonged, individuals with whom he had personal and professional relationships, and other topics.

Further information relating to the Central Intelligence Agency may be found in the Correspondence Series, the Historic and Oversize Papers Series, the Interviews Series, the Oral History Interviews Series.

WALL THE STUYVESANT FAMILY BIBLE BY MAJOR EDWARD VAN WINKLE Formerly Recording Secretary of the Holland Society of New York Family Bibles containing records and dates and signatures are always of interest to particular families; when the people recorded in them are of importance, they interest others as well, for their contributions to genealogy and history; and when the Bibles are rare editions, they become a study for bibliographers. The Stuy vesant Family Bible here pictured and described exemplifies to an unusual degree this three-fold interest. The writer, used to the frequent sights of our most ancient treasures, and trained by service to seek them, views this book as the most fascinating in history of ownership of any book yet found, connected with New Amsterdam. -

Transportation in Nineteenth Century America
King Manor Museum Talking About History Feet, Hooves, and Rails: Transportation in Nineteenth Century America Thursday, April 23, 2015 5pm Speaker: Dr. J. Ward Regan Presented in partnership with St. John’s University’s Department of History. Free, reservations recommended: [email protected] or 718-206-0545 x13 Please note the location: St. John’s University 8000 Utopia Parkway D’Angelo Center, Room 206 Jamaica, NY 11439 John Alsop King, Rufus King’s eldest son, was an active supporter of New York’s plank roads, turnpikes and railroads. He served as president of the Jamaica and Brooklyn Railroad Company, the seventh railroad in the United States to use steam locomotives, until 1857; one of the company’s locomotives was named the John A. King in his honor. In 1846, he became a director of the Long Island Railroad Company. As Governor of New York from 1857-1859, he supported the enlargement of the Erie Canal. Appealing to the State Assembly for additional funds so that work could continue, he argued that “the interests at stake [are] too widespread and important to be left for a moment in suspense.” Dr. Regan’s lecture follows the development of transportation from the pre-industrial period to the introduction of the combustion engine in the early twentieth century. The Transportation Revolution, as it is sometimes called, encompassed a wide range of successes and failures, and extends well beyond the invention of steam power. From the era of canal building in New York to the rise of the railroad and later the automobile, Dr. Regan will discuss the technological innovations and ideological shifts that changed transportation and transformed the United States into a world power. -

CASTLE IN THE ATTIC BY ELIZABETH WINTHROP Summary………………………………………2 About the Author…… .……………………3 Book Reviews………… .……………………4 Discussion Questions……………………5 Author Interview .. …………………………6 Further Reading… .…………………………8 SUMMARY _________________________________ The old toy castle was magnificent! It had tall towers, a working draw bridge, and even a silver knight. It had been in William's nanny's family for many, many years. Now she was giving it to him as a farewell gift. When he picked up the knight for the first time, he felt it come alive in his hand. That was the beginning of his wonderfully magical adventure. At first, William uses the magic in a selfish way. When he realizes what he has done, he has to summon up all of his courage to right the wrong.
