A surprisingly underpowered but clearly well intentioned film from Stephen Frears that depicts the true story of London's The Windmill Theatre during the blitz of World War Two when it infamously proclaimed 'We Never Close!'
Judi Dench stars as the titular Mrs Henderson, an eccentric woman who purchases the theatre to give her an interest following her husband's death. Inspired by the famous Moulin Rouge of France, she proposes a variety review featuring nude (but completely still - to get round the nudity laws of the day) show girls and hires Vivian Vann Dam (Bob Hoskins) as the manager.
The chirpiness of the production is positively overpowering and, like any form of enforced fun, it left me a bit cold and critical. There's also the expected sentimental air in detailing the hardships of war, especially on the home front. Much is made of Mrs Henderson's motives; how the war made her all the more determined to provide a bit of sauce for the young men going off to fight because her own son, killed in The Great War, had never seen a naked woman himself. Some critics baulk at such triviality, but the fact remains if this truly was her motivation, who are we to quibble when the film represents that? And it's somewhat puritanical and ignorant of negative reviews to claim that sex wasn't rife in wartime; when you never know when your number is going to be up, you get what you can where you can.
Nevertheless Frears' film does seem to want to have its cake and eat it; it wants to be a bit naughty and smutty as befits the story and its telling but, because it also wants to appeal to the modern movie goer and especially 'the grey pound' it doesn't go all out in terms of ribaldry. It's a shame as to be honest I think the best way to have told this story would have been to adopt a 70s Carry On style approach - the kind of film the likes of Frankie Howard, Robin Askwith and Danny La Rue would have queued up to be in.
Somewhat unmemorable, alas.

After Ian Kelly’s Mr Foote’s Other Leg and Lolita Chakrabarti’s Red Velvet comes Jessica Swale’s Nell Gwynn. If the first was camp comedy and the second an act of reclamation, the third is pure pantomime.
Swale exuberantly depicts Nell’s rise from orange-seller in the Drury Lane pit to one of the finest comic actresses of the Restoration era and King Charles II’s mistress. She skilfully captures the backstage politics in both the theatre and court and paints a fascinating (if somewhat over-extended) portrait of 17th century stage practices.
Amid all the drollery, she makes a passionate and pertinent case for the importance of women in theatre and theatre in society.
She does not labour the contemporary parallels, although having the King declare “Down with austerity”’ is an anachronism too far – not least when his profligacy undermines his protest.
Gemma Arterton gives her finest stage performance to date as “pretty, witty” Nell and is surrounded by a splendid cast in Christopher Luscombe’s expertly judged production. Particular plaudits go to Michele Dotrice as a stalwart dresser and Greg Haiste as the deposed “leading lady”, bitterly complaining that Nell never went to fan school.
Had Nell made her stage debut three centuries later, her talents would have found an ideal setting at Soho’s Windmill Theatre.
In 1932 it became the first British theatre licensed to present female nudity (always provided that the girls never moved), before earning an even more illustrious place in the history books as the only London theatre to stay open during the Blitz.
Stephen Frears’ 2005 film, Mrs Henderson Presents, told how the wealthy widow, Laura Henderson, and her domineering manager, Vivian van Damm, together pioneered the nude revues. Now writer-director Terry Johnson, lyricist Don Black, and composers George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain have refashioned the story of this odd couple for the musical stage.
Mrs Henderson Presents is a gloriously old-fashioned “book musical”, its style perfectly suited to its subject. The score is beautifully varied ranging from pastiche revue numbers worthy of Sandy Wilson through a defiant anthem for Mrs Henderson, destined to become a cabaret standard, to poignant wartime choruses.
Tracie Bennett and Ian Bartholomew make a delightful central duo; she both mischievous and plucky, his irascibility hiding a wounded heart. They receive excellent support from Emma Williams, Samuel Holmes, Matthew Malthouse and a bevy of tastefully naked chorus girls. The Windmill’s proud boast was that it never closed; this show deserves to say the same.
VERDICT: 4/5

The Windmill Theatre, the postcards of Donald McGill and the Daily Mirror's strip cartoon about the scantily clad showgirl Jane are the 'naughty but nice' elements of that nostalgic cluster of images representing a lost national identity and innocence that hover around the Second World War. We sing along to them with Vera Lynn, a copy of Orwell's essays on the lectern before us.
The Windmill, located in Soho just north of Piccadilly Circus, was in business from the 1930s to the early 1960s, but the Forties was its heyday, when its continuous performances of Revuedeville from noon to 10.50pm, with tableaux vivants of frozen and freezing nudes, had an unbroken run throughout the Second World War. This led to the official slogan 'We Never Closed' and the unofficial one, 'We Never Clothed', and it was every provincial schoolboy's ambition to go there, though most of us had to settle for sleazy touring shows based on the Windmill idea, with titles such as Halt, Who Goes Bare?, Don't Point, It's Nude, and Yes, We Have No Pyjamas. These were the sort of shoddy spectacles Archie Rice appeared in and that John Osborne's The Entertainer used as a metaphor for a Britain in terminal decline.
There have been previous movies about the Windmill. In 1945, Hollywood gave us Tonight and Every Night, directed by British emigre Victor Saville, a tribute to the morale-boosting wartime role of the Windmill, starring Rita Hayworth. Renamed the Music Box Theatre, it staged feeble songs (including the dire 'What Does an English Girl Think of a Yank?') produced with an opulence even the Palladium didn't aspire to.
A couple of years later, in a series of comedy thrillers set in leading British institutions, came Val Guest's Murder at the Windmill, actually shot on the premises. A Scotland Yard inspector (avuncular Garry Marsh) and his bumbling assistant (Jon Pertwee) investigate the death of a voyeur in the theatre's front row, killed (if memory serves aright) by an elderly stagehand bent on protecting one of the showgirls from this predatory punter's designs.
Now we have a romantic new movie about the Windmill, scripted by American playwright Martin Sherman, best known for his play, Bent, and directed by Stephen Frears, that arrives dripping with praise for its life-enhancing qualities. Its title, Mrs Henderson Presents, echoes consciously or unconsciously that long-banned play, Mrs Warren's Profession, in which Bernard Shaw, using prostitution as a metaphor for capitalist society, assaulted hypocrisy and the collusion in vice of the British upper and lower classes.
Dealing somewhat freely with the known facts, the movie begins with that now customary claim, 'inspired by a true story'. The eponymous Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) is an imperious, imperial, upper-class widow in her late sixties who has spent much of her married life in India and on her husband's death in 1937 feels she needs a hobby.
On a whim, she buys the rundown Windmill Theatre, and on the advice of her solicitor engages to manage it Vivian van Damm (Bob Hoskins), an impresario somewhat down on his luck and affecting a demeanour of exaggerated gentility. Mrs Henderson is a ladylike anti-semite of a kind the English appear rather to like. Van Damm is a would-be middle-class gentleman denying his roots as a Jew of Dutch extraction, a matter immediately remarked on in Lady Bracknell-like manner by his new employer.
Mrs Henderson is in a state of suppressed grief, not for her late husband, but for her son, killed on the Western Front in 1915 at the age of 21. She makes two cross-Channel trips to his grave, one in her Rolls-Royce, the other (a highly unlikely one, given the times) on a sudden whim while up in the air in a two-seater biplane just before the outbreak of war.
Her theatrical venture with her touchy partner is a success, fulfilling van Damm's belief in the commercial possibilities of a nonstop show. But it's so widely copied that some major new ingredient is needed fast and, rather surprisingly, Mrs Henderson suggests nudes in Parisian style. To obtain permission, she uses her connections to win over the dim, hidebound Lord Cromer (American satirist Christopher Guest, himself a onetime member of the House of Lords) who, as Lord Chamberlain, licenses live stage performances.
After a series of comic dialogues of a somewhat anachronistic kind, Mrs Henderson gets her way and the famously chaste nude tableaux follow. In order to coax the classy girls hired to strip, van Damm and the theatre's male staff all get their kit off in an unlikely, highly embarrassing scene designed to appeal to Full Monty fans.
Falseness and sentimentality take over completely when war breaks out and authentic newsreel material accompanies the the-show-must-go-on spirit at the Windmill. A gay choreographer (Will Young) helps keep spirits high. Henderson comes across a grief-stricken van Damm beside a copy of the News Chronicle bearing the headline 'Nazis Round Up Dutch Jews'. A pregnant showgirl is killed on cue in the Blitz. Romantic conversations take place on the Windmill's roof at night as searchlight beams criss-cross in the sky. Everyone looks 'Terrible Forties' as in a colour-supplement feature celebrating Austerity Chic, though no one carries a gas mask.
But what turns the movie into, depending on your taste, an objectionable tearjerker or an affirmation of the British spirit under pressure, is a speech given by Mrs Henderson in the street outside the theatre to a crowd of servicemen. Her aim is to prevent the Lord Chamberlain (present with his aide, both in silk toppers) closing the Windmill. With what we can only accept as blazing sincerity, she claims that her mission in introducing nudes to the theatre was to ensure that young men like her son should never again go off to war without having seen a female breast, albeit immobile, in artificial light and at a distance. She concludes her speech with the word 'fuck', and has her audience cheering.
In real life, 25 years passed before the Lord Chamberlain's office was abolished by a Labour government, and the following night, Hair opened in the West End. The movie is dedicated to 'Karel', who is presumably Stephen Frears's mentor, Karel Reisz. I somehow doubt that he would have liked it.

Did you know it was a true story?
Indeed, Mrs. Henderson Presents, the 2005 film that became a 2016 British musical – and whose excellent London cast album is now available — was based on two real people.
She was Mrs. Laura Forster Henderson (1863-1944); he was Mr. Vivian Van Damm (1899-1960). Together, they forged a professional theatrical collaboration that became the talk of London.
In 1931, after the newly widowed Mrs. Henderson bought a building on Great Windmill Street, she decided to transform it into a theater. She semi-named it after its location, modestly calling it The Windmill Theatre.
Truth to tell, The Windmill wasn’t a great presence on the London theater scene. All-too-few people attended, so Mrs. Henderson reluctantly took the step that represents the greatest dagger-in-the-heart to a legitimate stage aficionado: she starting showing films.
(“Film!” Don’t you even hate the word? It reminds us of that unwelcome visitor that invades our eye. Lyricists abhor it, too, for “film” doesn’t rhyme with anything.)
Mrs. Henderson wasn’t pleased with herself, so she searched for someone who could stage revues and settled on Van Damm. From time to time they fought like George and Martha, especially when his Revudeville, as he portmanteau-named his vaudeville revue, didn’t do business, either.
Well, Mrs. Henderson reasoned, France had the Folies Bergère and the Moulin Rouge, each of which offered nudity, so why couldn’t England have something similar? By now, the country was at war, and she felt that its citizens could use a good diversion.
Getting nudity approved by Rowland Baring, the Lord Chamberlain, would seem to be impossible. Baring, also known as The Second Earl of Cromer, was a blue blood who acquired a bluenose in “preserving good manners and decorum” in all matters theatrical.
In “Lord Chamberlain’s Song” we see how Mrs. Henderson got the better of him – and got a better product to sell at The Windmill. One of Don Black’s wittiest lyrics has The Lord complain of “dirty” Swedish plays that Strindberg wrote: “Scandinavia is to blame – those endless nights!”
Black also gave The Lord a riff on a famous classic song title that results in what may be the most clever musical theater joke since Comden or Green came up with the Handel-Hallelujah-Hialeah pun in Bells Are Ringing. I won’t give it away, for discovering a delicious lyric on one’s own is one of musical theater’s most endearing delights.
Nudity wasn’t the only reason why The Windmill became an S.R.O venue. During World War II, when the Germans were routinely bombing Britain, theater owners had the option to close – and most did. The Windmill, however, never did, aside from a twelve-day stint in 1939 after Winston Churchill had demanded that all theaters be closed. But on Day Thirteen, the place was back in business.
One reason for the stick-to-itiveness? Mrs. Henderson truly believed that many of the young men who were going off to war had never seen a naked female body, and that this could be the one chance they’d have.
Not until Mrs. Henderson Presents surfaces in Toronto next February will North Americans know how well bookwriter-director Terry Johnson did his jobs. However, we can certainly tell from this recording that the show has an exemplary score.
George Fenton wrote the acclaimed score for the original film and signed on to do the musical. However, like Leonard Bernstein — who didn’t take any melodies from his ballet Fancy Freewhen he created the music for On the Town – Fenton started from scratch. He did, however, split the music duties with another composer: Simon Chamberlain. If names mean anything, wouldn’t you assume that Chamberlain composed “Lord Chamberlain’s Song”? But which composer wrote what hasn’t been made clear.
And yet, whoever’s responsible, we know that both composers wrote period-appropriate music (which, sadly enough, isn’t always the case these days). Better still, Larry Blank, who is second to none in having an excellent sense of time and place when orchestrating, did the honors here.
If you know Lionel Bart’s Blitz – and I hope you do – here’s a more even-tempered version of “Who’s That Geezer Hitler?” It’s “He’s Got Another Thing Coming,” in which Der Führer is excoriated in a waltz. The lackadaisical tempo suggests that his defeat will be easy.
As we all know from history, it wasn’t. By the end of the song, bombs are falling atop the theater. How’s that for a dramatic Act One closer?
Even before this, however, Van Damm has an amazing moment of introspection. He quietly castigates himself for “Living in a Dream World” and is shamed that “People are burying their dead ones while we’re burying our heads” and that “Young men looking at disaster while we look the other way.” An appropriately mournful (and yet appealing) melody accompanies the superb lyrics.
Only later does Van Damm acknowledge that the revues are bringing joy to people when they most need it. The feelings also bring to mind the oft-told story of American soldiers who attended Oklahoma! after the United States had entered the war but before they left for overseas duty. Many said that the show reminded them that their country’s values were well-worth defending. Happy-go-lucky musicals, often criticized for having “no redeeming features,” do help people to escape their troubles for a couple of hours. That is no small achievement.
Tracie Bennett, who delivered one of the most remarkable performances I’ve ever seen as Judy Garland in End of the Rainbow, ages to become the septuagenarian Mrs. Henderson. Musical theater loves older women with big dreams, and Laura indeed has them.
In “Whatever Time I Have,” we see that Mrs. Henderson, unlike Dolly Levi, doesn’t need permission from her deceased husband to keep living; before he died, he insisted that she enjoy life without him. And so she will. “There’s no law that says you have to act your age,” she insists – which is good advice to all of us.
Portraying Van Damm is Ian Bartholomew, who in London has amassed a most varied resume: Guiteau in Assassins, Vandergelder in Dolly, George in Virginia Woolf and The Fool in King Lear.Bartholomew delights in “Rubens and Renoir,” a waltz of seduction with a tinge of G&S. Here he tries to convince auditioning actresses that the type of show he and Mrs. Henderson have in mind is a lofty one.
In song, Bennett and Bartholomew make Mrs. Henderson and Van Damm sound as if they connect far more often than they don’t. That’s especially true of an up-tempo razz-ma-tazzer in which they admit that they’re “Anything but Young.” The jazzy arrangement allows them to flaunt the ticking of the clock by singing joyously from the heart — or, shall-we-say, their own tickers.
The 2005 film told us before the end credits that Mrs. Henderson tragically died in 1944, before the war ended. We also learned that she left The Windmill to Van Damm, who continued operations until he died in December, 1960. He willed it to his daughter Sheila. She, believe it or not, was one of England’s most acclaimed race car drivers of the ‘50s and ‘60s. As a result, she didn’t have theater much on her mind and closed The Windmill fewer than four years later.
They’ll never get a musical out of that story, but, oh, they got a good one out of Mrs. Henderson Presents.

Cursed, The
Despite being afflicted with some common tropes of the horror genre, Sean Ellis’ The Cursed (which had the less generic title Eight for Silver when it premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival) is imbued with its own brand of originality. Ell...

Synopsis
Set in pre-World War II London, Mrs Henderson Presents tells the remarkable true-life story of one of England's most prominent and eccentric society figures, Laura Henderson, who founded the historic Windmill Theatre.
Â
Driven by the desire to win back the dwindling music hall audiences who had been lured away by the advent of 'talking pictures', this charming lady and veritable force of nature was aided by equally formidable and tenacious theatre manager Vivian Van Damm, as she set about her task with the kind of vigour and determination which belied her advanced years.
Â
This wonderfully argumentative pair were complete opposites, but their extraordinary partnership proved fruitful when Mrs Henderson's influence in society enabled her to take advantage of a legal loophole which permitted the theatre to show entirely nude models on stage - provided they didn't move a muscle. From here it was an easy step to the 'Nude Revue,' a musical extravaganza which became a roaring success and cemented the Windmill Theatre's reputation and place in history.

The elder statesman of British cinema, Stephen Frears invites BHT into his home for a cuppa, a chat, and a few helpful corrections.
* Originally published in 2017.
To keep from arriving too early, I wander the blocks of Notting Hill and admire the 19th-century Georgian architecture before buzzing director Stephen Frears’ door. “This is actually Bayswater here,” he gently corrects me, not for the last time, after offering tea—despite my please-don’t-bother, I-don’t-want-to-be-any-trouble mutterings.
“I can make you a cup,” he insists, heading into the kitchen barefoot. On his bookshelves, one possibly pertinent title stands out: Victorian Sexuality. “No, no, that’s just an old book. Don’t look into that for any of this,” he warns. “Though Queen Victoria really was a sexy lady—and so is Judi Dench!”
Frears, 76, last teamed up with Dame Judi Dench for 2013’s Philomena, in which she played the titular Irishwoman searching for a son stolen by the Catholic Church. The director has made so many other wonderful films, it’s easy to forget a few—even some great ones.
“Dangerous Liaisons, yes, of course, but also Tamara Drewe? And Mrs. Henderson Presents? I loved that! And you made Dirty Pretty Things, right? With the immigrants selling their kidneys in London?”
“Yes, I made that film,” he confirms simply, casually, and sips his tea.
Though his work crosses all genres and styles—“I just do what interests me. Mine is more the life of a spoiled child than of an auteur,” he jokes—there’s definitely a theme to a certain portion of Frears’ films: an exploration of British life and character, even if he’s not entirely keen on examining his oeuvre.
“I don’t really analyze it very deeply. Other people see it more clearly than I do,” he says. To explain, he paraphrases the great Billy Wilder: “That’s very kind, but I think you’re mistaking me for a serious person; I make films.”
Modesty aside, Frears is one of the primary exporters of Brit culture to Americans. Just to name a few, My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) showed a seedy 1980s London, simmering with racial tensions; Dirty Pretty Things (2002), the invisible lives of Britain’s desperate undocumented workers; and Queen Elizabeth’s most terrible week, following the death of Princess Diana, was brought to the big screen by The Queen (2006), based on the play The Audience.
“No, that is not right,” he stops me there. “First there was a film about Blair becoming prime minister [2003’s TV movie The Deal], and then there was the film The Queen [2006]—and then came the play The Audience.” Seeing my embarrassment, he gentlemanly jokes the mistake off. “Oh, you’re in a real mess now!” he chuckles and offers me a refill on that tea.
His latest, Victoria & Abdul, travels back in Royal history: the surprising story of Queen Victoria suddenly deciding to befriend a 24-year-old Indian servant and make him her most trusted companion.
“I don’t know if she suddenly decided,” the director comments, adjusting my summary. “She was attracted to and liked him and it grew from there. Shrabani [Basu, the writer of Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant, on which the film was based] said, ‘Oh, she liked having him stand behind her,’ because he was so dashing. It flattered her.”
Victoria eventually gave Abdul a position of power in her household—to the dismay of her advisers, staff and even her heir. “She was just giving him precedence,” Frears again clarifies. “I imagine the household was a fairly racist institution, without having thought about it. Then she just became friends with him and she started to teach him English and he started to teach her Urdu.”
The director brushes off history questions about her reign and the era: “I probably know less about it than you do. I’m neither a Monarchist nor a Victoria-ist.” The idea, though, that Victoria was so sympathetic to the principles of Islam is “very satisfying, yes. How provocative it is.” Also, he loves the character of the “wonderfully batty” Queen.
“She just seems incredibly interesting—so eccentric,” he says. “All that business of loving sex and not liking her children! That’s quite striking.” And of course, he knew immediately which actress would be needed for the role.
“I said I’d only make the film with Judi. There’s only one person in the world who would be believable,” he admits, though he rejects the term muse when I suggest it.
“No, it’s just good casting. I don’t know how to make it with another actress. I know how to make it with Judi because I could make the connection, but I couldn’t make the connection with anybody else.”
Dench, of course, is one of the world’s most acclaimed actors. Something more than a star, her accomplishments and talent have bestowed upon her a certain unassailable authority, a necessary ingredient for the portrayal of history’s most powerful woman. “Absolutely. That’s part of it,” he says, to my relief, agreeing. “Without thinking, that has to be part of the job. Very few people have that.”
As he compliments Dench, I wonder again if muse might not be the right word, eager to squeeze it into a headline. Certainly, judging from the photos, they’re friends. “She is my friend, yes. I don’t mean that I see her every day, but yes.” Muse, however, still isn’t working for him. “No, not remotely. She’s a very, very, very, very fine actress and a very fine woman, and—I hope she, oh, I think she trusts me,” he says, emphasizing that word, which seems to imply a deep thing between directors and actors.
“I didn’t know if Judi would want to put that costume on again. You know, bless her, she’s done it, but you couldn’t take it for granted,” he adds, referring to the fact that Dench played Queen Victoria once before—in 1997’s Mrs. Brown. That film detailed the recently widowed Queen’s earlier friendship—also to the dismay of those around her—with Scottish Highlander John Brown, and won Dench her first Academy Award.
“No, it didn’t!” he laughs, seemingly tickled. “She won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, not for Mrs. Brown. You know nothing!” he says in such a wry, funny, warm way that I laugh too—while searching my phone for confirmation. (Judi Dench actually was nominated for Best Actress for her role in Mrs. Brown in 1997. She then won Best Supporting Actress the following year for Shakespeare in Love.)
Possibly out of pity, Frears reflects for a moment on all his Royal subjects: “Quite recently—oh, you’ll like this bit—I’ve been thinking, ‘Oh well, maybe this business of making films about Kings and Queens…’ I mean, this is, after all, what Shakespeare did. Maybe their lives are more interesting than other people’s. They’re momentous and they affect people. Maybe Shakespeare understood that. It’s quite a recent thought.”
Pressing on, I ask more about creating those films, historical fiction. Often, a movie is many viewers’ primary source of information; their only reference for a historical figure or event. “I remember they said to me in Venice: ‘You’ve now made the official version of the week of Diana’s death.’ I said, ‘Oh my goodness, I had no idea!’”
“It is a sort of alternative version of history, I suppose,” he contemplates. “I was brought up on Imperial History. In my classroom, there was a map of the world, a quarter of which was red. In the course of preparing [Victoria and Abdul] I realized that the words Indian mutiny were my version—they were an Imperial version of what happened. To the Indians, it was the uprising. It was quite a shock. … It’s complicated. You know, you are a small country and you export certain myths about yourself. In a way, I hope that the films I make are slightly tangential to the myth, or they undermine the myth in some way.”
I ask if that means Frears thinks he’s bringing out another side of the story—and even getting to some better historical truths? But in trying to pinpoint the meaning and purpose of art, I’ve gone too far.
“You know, all you’re really saying is life is more complicated than you think it is. You think it’s simple; it isn’t, it’s complicated,” he answers with a simple finality. “But do I really think about that? No, I just read the script of The Queen or the script of Victoria and Abdul and liked them!”
With that, I prepare to leave, though he surprisingly assures me he’s happy to answer more questions. “As you see, I’m up to my eyes,” he says, waving at his perfectly spotless home—but I’ve already been visiting longer than the agreed-upon time—and distinct promises were made to the film’s publicist that I would not overstay. Also, this man, described in The Independent as “a British Bulldog” who famously dislikes interviews, has been shockingly gracious with my fumblings.
Perhaps it’s a soft spot for Americans? Or maybe, more specifically, he feels kindly toward you, our readers, those who crave and enjoy his varied visions of Britain from across the pond. As he said when we first sat down, “So this is for Americans who like British heritage? Thank God they exist! They keep me alive!”

In 2014, director Terry Johnson revived Joan Littlewood's famous revue Oh What A Lovely War, about the First World War, at its original home at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. Now he moves to the Second World War for a similarly affectionate yet simultaneously gritty portrait of a resilient real-life theatre, the Windmill, the only one in the capital to stay open at the height of the Blitz, living up to its motto: "We never close!"
If the effect is to provide a kind of mirror to his earlier show, also echoing its music hall storytelling techniques and even sharing an actor in Ian Bartholomew, who appears in both, Mrs Henderson Presents is the more conventional, old-fashioned production, but none the worse for it.
Littlewood's show is a bracing polemic on the sheer pointlessness of war. This musical, based on the 2005 film of the same name, is more soft-centred, even though it doesn't shy from occasional hard edges. Instead, by concentrating on the backstage lives of the dancers and management of the Windmill, there's more of a jaunty, frequently patriotic, flavour to it – that both sings and occasionally stings.
The score, with its music by Simon Chamberlain (who was musical director on the original film) and George Fenton and veteran lyricist Don Black, has an easy, accessible pastiche quality, in a similar vein to The Boy Friend, that channels composers who were active at the time, like Ivor Novello and Vivian Ellis. It comes into its own a couple of times as an original work, thanks to the soaring melodic quality that Emma Williams brings to songs like If Mountains Were Easy to Climb, or the touching sincerity of Ian Bartholomew in Living in a Dream World.
While shows like Calendar Girls and The Full Monty, both of which coincidentally also played at the Noel Coward, coyly didn't quite show all – the girls in the former hid behind buns and other objects, the boys in the latter had their modesty protected by a blinding light at the key moment – there's no such inhibition here, with the girls showing all.
But there's nothing salacious about it. In fact there's something sweetly innocent about it; I'm happy to report that this show is no bomb, but scores a direct hit of its own.
Author: Mark Shenton
Pass the opera glasses, Perkins. But they might be steamed up at Mrs Henderson Presents, an unashamedly entertaining musical about the old Windmill Theatre in London where young women posed in nude tableaux.
You may recall a film of this story a decade ago which starred Dame Judi Dench and the late Bob Hoskins.
Mrs Henderson is an elderly widow who uses the fortune left by her husband to buy a theatre in Central London in 1937.
When the punters prove resistant to its offer of revue shows, she hits on an idea of stripping her showgirls to their birthday suits. But how to get round the Lord Chamberlain and his censorship decrees?
Simple: she announces that her girls will not wobble a muscle. Not so much as a cheek will jelly-quiver. They will pose entirely still and thus will be as inoffensive as the classical nudes on display at fine-art galleries.
This production, directed by its writer Terry Johnson, has music by George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain and lyrics by Don Black. The tunes may not be in the very highest category but they are more than workmanlike and the lyrics witty. One song, If Mountains Were Easy To Climb, elicits tears.
Janie Dee was originally cast as the intrepid Mrs H but she withdrew early in the process. Her place has been taken by Tracie Bennett who is great fun. She could never be accused of underacting but who could fail to be drawn to this short, husky-voiced ball of mercy? I kept thinking it was Elaine Paige.
The nude shows pack in the audiences but war arrives and the Windmill entertains the troops through London’s bleakest Blitz nights. The theatre’s stage hand, Eddie (Matthew Malthouse) joins the RAF. Will he be missed by the show’s frustratingly chaste leading lady, Maureen? Will Eddie survive?
Ian Bartholomew does a decent turn as Mr Van Damm, the show’s director, and there is a lovely turn — albeit worryingly pink-faced — from Graham Hoadly as the Lord Chamberlain. The show is stolen by the Windmill girls, most of all by Emma Williams as Maureen.
What a voice, I feel bound to say. What stage presence, duty compels me to report. What a hairdo. Yes, yes, yes. But what a figure, too!
Oh, I know we men are not meant to ogle but what can one do but gawp in dry-throated admiration at Maureen and Doris and Vera and Peggy (the last being played by Katie Bernstein, another strong voice)?
They shed their garments and strike Greek poses and it is surely not just old chaps whose eyes will swivel like fruit-machine dials. It is not smutty. It is (pause for pigeon-cooing from your critic) beautiful. And often deliciously funny, even patriotic.
Mark Hadfield does some of his customary comedy stuff — few actors move with greater comic efficiency — and Samuel Holmes has some great moments as gay Bertie, the token boy.
High dramatic art? Maybe not. But I have not emerged from a theatre feeling quite so cheerful for a long time.

Early in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, before Mrs. Harris goes to Paris, she opens a box belonging to a self-absorbed woman whose home she cleans. Inside is a sparkling baby-pink dress, the kind Mrs. Harris could never herself afford, in or out of Paris. She picks it up and hugs it to her chest, eyes aglow. The audience knows immediately that Mrs. Harris will somehow wind up in that dress, or one like it, by the movie's end. The title tells us this will probably happen in Paris. (Mrs. Haris lives in London.) Here, predictability is no handicap. Knowing the stakes, low as they may be, is part of the joy.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is what one might call a British-lady comfort movie. The genre hinges on some degree of bubbly ease, on tension that will be soothed with the acquisition of, say, a fancy gown or a best exotic marigold hotel (see: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel). It often involves two or more adversaries finding common ground, possibly while running competing restaurants located 100 feet apart (see: The Hundred-Foot Journey). Judi Dench makes a full English breakfast out of these roles (see: Tea with Mussolini, Mrs. Henderson Presents, Philomena, Victoria & Abdul, not one but two Marigold Hotels).
Mrs. Harris is portrayed by the equally gifted Lesley Manville, best known for Phantom Thread, Harlots, and the films of Mike Leigh. She adopts the gleeful eyes of a romantic and the gait of someone easily wowed by sights that have long grown dull to anyone of higher social standing. Relentlessly optimistic, Mrs. Harris makes little fuss about her lot in life. Manville is careful not to make her too daffy, understanding that awe shouldn't equate naivete. This is someone who gets things done. She simply skips the cynicism that hobbles so much of the world. Manville's wisdom as a performer is to make that look easy. What if we all had her cheer?
Whatever the details, these movies are fundamentally good-natured. That's the primary stipulation. Take Calendar Girls, the 2003 charmer in which Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Penelope Wilton, and Celia Imrie—two of whom also appear in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel—play unassuming senior citizens who raise money for leukemia research by posing in a nude calendar, their naughty bits hidden behind fruits or household appliances. The story's only true conflict is whether the women's newfound celebrity status might tear them apart. (It doesn't.)
Based on a novel by Paul Gallico, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris operates with a similar joie de vivre, even if, like most movies about aging, it has a melancholic undertow. Ada Harris is a 1950s widow who has received long-awaited confirmation of her husband's death in World War II. She earns her living as a housekeeper, never asking for much—just a few chuckles with her BFF (Ellen Thomas) and a respite from her intermittent loneliness. Meanwhile, haute couture is sweeping postwar European fashion. When she scores a stack of cash with the help of a roguish horse-racing bookie (Jason Isaacs), Mrs. Harris goes to—where else?—Paris to purchase a dress from the continent's glitziest designer, Christian Dior. Maybe the splendor will prompt a new chapter. Oh, how her husband would have loved to see her in such fine threads. But Mrs. Harris' lack of refinement clashes with the atelier's haughty supervisor, the decadently named Claudine Colbert (Isabelle Huppert), who would rather not sell a Dior original to someone she deems so inferior.
Instead of waging war, Mrs. Harris offers charm and airtight logic: "My money’s as good as anybody's." It's not quite as simple as that, of course. Mme. Colbert's snobbery isn't Mrs. Harris' only obstacle, though she has no trouble winning over a reluctant starlet (Alba Baptista) and a handsome Dior accountant (Lucas Bravo, a romance pro thanks to a certain Emily who also went to Paris) with a schoolboy crush on said startlet. By the end of the film, our protagonist will have started a minor labor movement, democratized fashion, and mellowed her foes. It's a fairy tale, contrived and delightful. Exactly the way you want it.
Movies like Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris are blissfully uninterested in most of popular culture's contemporary concerns. No superheroes, no apocalyptic threats, no dinosaurs or Demogorgons or physics-defying cars, no ripped-from-the-headlines scandal, no murder mystery to solve. These are earthbound sagas. They can feel like magical realism, but there is no literal magic, unless you count Maggie Smith's zingers. The genre's American counterparts—think Book Club, Poms, I'll See You in My Dreams, and Hope Springs—don't land with the same whimsy, too removed from the fairy-tale trappings that British filmmakers embrace. They could benefit from a spot of tea.
What isn't without that spot is 2018's Tea with the Dames, released abroad as Nothing Like a Dame. It's British-lady comfort food in documentary form. The English theater's four most revered actresses—Dench, Smith, Eileen Atkins, and Joan Plowright—sit around a table at Plowright's countryside home, gossiping about their careers and ribbing one another. Quartet would be another apt title for Dames' tart slice of nirvana, but it was taken by a different Smith movie that more or less fits the genre, about a retirement home for quick-witted musicians. (Even men sneak in some giggles, namely Michael Gambon and Tom Courtenay, who could team up with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel's Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson for their own comfort food.) Smith's Quartet colleague Pauline Collins also headlined The Time of Their Lives, a 2017 road-trip comedy in which her character attempts to renew her faded screen career alongside co-star Joan Collins (no relation).
The only bummer about this genre? There's not more of it. Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, recently released on Hulu, doesn't totally qualify, but it scratches a similar itch. Trading fancifulness for naturalism, Leo Grande features another dame, Emma Thompson, as a retired schoolteacher who has never achieved orgasm. She hires a hunky, tactful sex worker (Daryl McCormack) to remedy her erotic void. The movie occurs across four meetings in the same hotel room where Thompson's nervous Nancy steadily grows more comfortable with herself. Thompson captures the role's nuances in much the way that Dench did in 2013's fact-based Philomena. Despite the characters' vast differences, they share strained relationships to their pasts and a curiosity about aspects of the world they haven't embraced. By the end, they're more tranquil people.
That sums up an essential hallmark: The old-timers in these movies find reason to embrace life anew. In The Hundred-Foot Journey, Mirren's Michelin-starred proprietor abandons her airs after falling for her competitor (Om Puri). The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel retirees learn that good scenery is in the eye of the beholder. Despite seeking out a dress worth 500 quid, Mrs. Harris isn't craving materialism; she just wants something beautiful, a windfall to lift her morale. Her spiritual gains become more valuable than anything Dior could sell her. Like each of these films, the stakes are low and the ecstasy is high.

Mrs. Brown is a love story much in the same vein as Carrington in that it deals with platonic affection that runs deeper and truer than that of the motion picture staple romantic variety. These days, it seems that whenever we see a male/female friendship on screen, it's just a setup for the inevitable moment when the two realize that they're fated to be lovers. Not so with Mrs. Brown, one of the most emotionally sensitive and intelligent love stories of the year. It shows, amongst other things, that it's possible to love completely and with unflagging devotion without sex ever becoming an issue.
Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819 and died nearly eighty-two years later, in the first month of 1901. Her reign as England's monarch, which began in 1837, lasted more than six decades and left such an indelible impression upon the country that, upon hearing of her death, author Henry James wrote, "We all feel a bit motherless today." Mrs. Brown, which is based on actual events and uses historical figures, transpires during one of the darkest periods of Victoria's reign -- a four year segment from 1864 to 1868 (with a brief epilogue in 1883). Still mourning the death of her beloved husband, Prince Albert, who died over two years earlier, the Queen (Judi Dench) is in virtual seclusion at Windsor. She sees no one outside of her servants and her immediate family, rarely goes out, and has no taste for politics. In the words of her loyal secretary, Henry Posonby (Geoffrey Palmer), they are all "prisoners of the queen's grief," which he describes variously as "ferocious introspection" and "unfettered morbidity." So, in an attempt to revive Victoria, Posonby summons John Brown (Billy Connolly), the highlander who runs the queen's Scottish retreat of Balmoral, to Windsor. It's Posonby's hope that Brown will "appeal to the queen's sentimental belief that all highlanders are good for the health."
Brown arrives and proves to be a breath of fresh air. Before he enters Windsor, the castle is a place of icy silence and solitude. Director John Madden so effectively conveys this atmosphere that we become keenly aware of such things as a ticking clock and a cleared throat. Brown's attitude of speaking what he thinks, regardless of the consequences, horrifies the servants and family. But, after initially being annoyed, Victoria warms to his methods, and it isn't long before the two develop a unshakable friendship. They become so close, in fact, that wags begin calling the Queen "Mrs. Brown." The Prince of Wales, wary of Brown's growing influence over his mother, seeks to have the highlander sent back to Scotland. And the Prime Minister, Disraeli, wonders whether Brown is more likely to be a valuable ally or a dangerous enemy.
Like 1995's The Madness of King George, Mrs. Brown mixes the political machinations of various MPs with the growing fissure between the monarch and the Prince of Wales. However, while George may have been mad, Victoria is merely eccentric. Nevertheless, her extended period of mourning, during which she has been out of the public's sight, has created a great deal of uncertainty among her subjects, and Parliament is beginning to discuss the possibility of disestablishing the monarchy -- a prospect that horrifies Disraeli and Prince Edward.
Brown and Victoria's relationship develops and deepens slowly and naturally, and credit must be given to both of the lead actors, Judi Dench ("M" from Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies) and Billy Connolly (Howard Hessman's replacement in the TV series Head of the Class), for their extraordinary performances. Both actors immerse themselves in their roles, playing Brown and the Queen without a hint of artifice, and the chemistry between them is palpable. Theirs is a wonderfully real relationship that is reminiscent of the one between Lytton Strachey and the title character of Carrington. (Ironically, Strachey is most famous for his 1921 biography of Queen Victoria.)
Perhaps the best thing of all about Mrs. Brown is that it doesn't offer any hokey, Hollywood-type moments. The picture remains true to itself throughout, affirming that film maker John Madden (Ethan Frome) has a keen insight into the human psyche. Mrs. Brown is a fascinating character study, a wonderful love story, and a brilliant period piece (Masterpiece Theater and the BBC, both renowned for their costume dramas, are listed as co-producers). In a summer that is sure to be glutted with formulaic action thrillers and flat romantic comedies, Mrs. Brown will delight and touch any viewer who seeks it out.

Mrs Henderson Presents is a 2005 biographical musical comedy-drama film directed by Stephen Frears and written by Martin Sherman. It stars Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins, Kelly Reilly, and Will Young (in his acting debut). It tells the true story of Laura Henderson, an eccentric British socialite who opened the Windmill Theatre in London in 1931.
Mrs Henderson Presents was theatrically released on 25 November 2005 by The Weinstein Company. It received generally positive reviews from critics and did moderately well, grossing $27.8 million against its $20 million budget. It received two nominations at the 78th Academy Awards; Best Actress (for Dench) and Best Costume Design (for Sandy Powell).
Plot
[edit]
Following her husband's death, eccentric 70-year-old widow Mrs Laura Henderson purchases a redundant cinema and remodels it to create the Windmill Theatre in London, as a post-widowhood hobby and appoints autocratic manager Vivian Van Damm. In 1937, they start a continuous variety revue called "Revudeville", but after other theatres copy this innovation, they begin losing money. Mrs Henderson suggests they add female nudity, similar to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, something unprecedented in the United Kingdom. The Lord Chamberlain (Rowland Baring, 2nd Earl of Cromer) reluctantly allows this under the condition that the nude female performers remain immobile, so the performances can be considered art, the equivalent of nude statues in museums.
Because the theatre's auditorium is below street level, it is relatively safe during the bombing of London, and performances continue. The performers bravely go on with the show even during frightening bombing raids, and the posed nude girls resume their poses, after ducking, as the whole theatre is shaken and the scene flats all round them sway when a bomb lands close by.
Maureen, one of the cast, becomes involved at Mrs Henderson's instigation with a young soldier, Paul, one of the audience regulars. Maureen becomes pregnant and receives word that after Paul is demobilised, he intends to return to his girlfriend. She becomes very upset, and hands in her notice. Before further developments, she is killed by a bomb while leaving the theatre.
Other scenes depict life in the theatre during the period. Mrs Henderson and Mr Van Damm frequently clash, but also show great appreciation for each other.
Eventually, the authorities want the theatre to close because of the danger from bombs to crowds gathering outside the theatre. Mrs Henderson successfully argues that for soldiers going to die in the war, this is their last chance, and for many of the young soldiers their only chance, to see naked women. She reflects on the death of her son in the First World War, and how he may never have even seen a naked woman except on a French postcard he had left at home, before going off to war and dying in a gas attack.
The film's closing credits explain that, on her death in 1944, Mrs Henderson bequeathed the theatre to Mr Van Damm.

Olivier Award-winning actress Tracie Bennett will star alongside Ian Bartholomew and Emma Williams when the Theatre Royal Bath production of Mrs Henderson Presents transfers to London’s Noël Coward Theatre next February.
The trio of performers will reprise their roles in the musical from 9 February (press night 16 February) following its run at the Bath venue this summer. Full casting is still to be announced.
Bennett, who won her pair of Olivier Awards for performances in hit musicals Hairspray and She Loves Me, plays the role made famous by Dame Judi Dench in the classic 2005 film. Well known for her screen roles in Coronation Street and Scott And Bailey, Bennett’s other West End credits include Les Misérables and La Cage Aux Folles.
Her co-stars are both Olivier Award nominated performers. Bartholomew, whose stage career has spanned more than four decades, was recognised by the UK’s most prestigious theatrical awards ceremony for his performances in Into The Woods and Radio Times, while Williams, who created the role of Truly Scrumptious in the original West End production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, was nominated for her roles in Zorro and Love Story.
Mrs Henderson Presents, which is directed and features a book by Olivier Award winner Terry Johnson, tells the story of the recently widowed eccentric Laura Henderson, who transforms a run-down former cinema into a theatre presenting non-stop variety acts. But as war looms something more is required to boost morale and box office figures…. Cue The Windmill Girls.
Johnson’s musical adaptation of the hit Martin Sherman-penned film opened at the Theatre Royal Bath in August, when The Guardian’s Michael Billington described the production as “a show that not only improves on the original movie, but also gives the […] British musical a healthy injection of energy.”
Featuring music by George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain with lyrics by Don Black, the musical will open at the Noël Coward Theatre, which currently houses the Nicole Kidman-led Photograph 51, following forthcoming festive offering A Christmas Carol, which stars Jim Broadbent as Charles Dickens’ most infamous miser and plays from 30 November to 30 January.

Welcome back to Theatre in Film, our weekly featurette on a film that showcases a life in the theatre. In Part VI of Theatre in Film, we focus on films from 2003 to 2008 that feature characters overcoming internal and very personal struggles to find their happiness in a life of theatre. This week, we feature the British film, Mrs Henderson Presents from 2005, a story of fun, adventure, and perseverance in the theatre. (As a warning, this film contains nudity and adult language. Viewer discretion is advised.)
Mrs Henderson Presents (2005)
Director: Stephen Frears
Starring: Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins, Kelly Reilly, and Will Young
What happens:
Mrs Henderson Presents is based on the true story of the Windmill Theatre in London. It tells the story of Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) who, after her husband dies, purchases a rundown theatre and opens it to host Revudeville, a variety show of sorts. The theatre is placed into the hands of Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins), a middle class theatre professional who barely gets along with Mrs. Henderson. When other theatres in the city begin copying her theatre’s show style, she suggests adding nudity, a show aspect that the Moulin Rouge in Paris incorporated for decades.
Her direction comes with a large amount of pushback from the Lord Chamberlain (Christopher Guest), who balks at the mention of naked women. Eventually, Mrs. Henderson and Van Damm achieve their goal of having naked women onstage, but only if they agree to a stipulation that the naked women remain completely still while performing. During a bomb raid in the midst of World War II, one of the revue’s naked girls is killed when the cafe she has run into get bombed, and the show must go on without her. And when the government move to shut down the theatre in fear of the Germans targeting large crowds, Mrs. Henderson recalls how her son, a soldier who died in World War I, had never seen a naked woman. It is for this reason that she bestows the gift of this theatre on young soldiers, and the theatre stays open.
Why it matters:
If the actual film wasn’t enough, the opening titles are a feast for the eyes, with an animated extravaganza of cartoons, vintage vaudeville film, and gorgeous color. As an added bonus, the movie uses real footage from World War II newsreels to help tell the story of how the war impacted Great Britain. It adds a solemn and historical tone to what could simply have been a frivolous romp through 1940s burlesque entertainment.
When it comes to theatre culture, the most striking aspect of this film appears in the relationship between Mrs. Henderson and Mr. Van Damm. From the beginning, both of them are at odds with one another. Mrs. Henderson likes the way Mr. Van Damm doesn’t like her. And Mr. Van Damm enjoys the way Mrs. Henderson gives him total artistic control. Though this sounds like an ideal partnership — both of them liking something about the other — their opinions on how a theatre, auditions, and productions should be run are drastically different. Mrs. Henderson doesn’t know anything about running a theatre, and Mr. Van Damm doesn’t know anything about how to create and sustain interesting, experimental, and fun theatre. (Though Mrs. Henderson doesn’t know much about those things herself, she has a knack for feeling out situations and using a great deal of instinct to direct her decision-making process, which ultimately ends in positive results.)
In a business like theatre, when there’s little to gain and so much to lose, especially during a period of economic uncertainty, physical danger, and low morale, business relationships can be difficult. We often see production leaders arguing over aspects of the show that may seem miniscule to us, but in the vision of either a director or producer, they’re monumental. And in these cases, it’s important that these leaders work together, just as Mrs. Henderson and Mr. Van Damm do, to come to a mutual understanding and positive solution that will end well for the artistic vision and for all parties involved. Mrs. Henderson and Mr. Van Damm are the perfect models of two professionals who don’t get along, but who must work together in order to create and sustain something beautiful.
Mrs Henderson Presents is also a stage musical! Below if a duet number from the Original London Cast recording

Plot
The film is based on the true story of the Windmill Theatre in London. Eccentric 70-year-old widow Mrs Laura Henderson purchases it as a post-widowhood hobby and appoints autocratic manager Vivian Van Damm. In 1937, they start a continuous variety revue called "Revudeville", but after other theatres in London copy this innovation, they begin losing money. Mrs Henderson suggests they add female nudity, similar to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, which is unprecedented in the United Kingdom. The Lord Chamberlain (Rowland Baring, 2nd Earl of Cromer) reluctantly allows this under the condition that the nude performers remain immobile, so the performances can be considered art, the equivalent of nude statues in museums.
Because the theatre's auditorium is below street level it is relatively safe during the bombing of London, and performances continue. The performers bravely go on with the show even during frightening bombing raids, and the posed nude girls resume their poses, after ducking, as the whole theatre is shaken and the scene flats all round them sway when a bomb lands close by.
Maureen, one of the cast, becomes involved at Mrs Henderson's instigation with a young soldier, Paul, one of the audience regulars. Maureen becomes pregnant and receives word that after Paul is demobbed, he intends to return to his girlfriend. She becomes very upset about how it will affect her life, and hands in her notice. However, before the issue can be resolved, she is killed by a bomb while leaving the theatre.
Other scenes depict life in the theatre during the period. Mrs Henderson and Mr Van Damm frequently clash and squabble, but also show great appreciation for each other.
Eventually, the authorities want the theatre to close because of the danger of crowds gathering in the street outside the theatre. However, Mrs Henderson successfully argues: for soldiers going to die in the war this is their last chance, and for many of the young soldiers their only chance, to see female nudity. She reflects on the death of her son in the First World War, and how he may never have even seen a naked girl except on a French postcard he'd been carrying when he died in a gas attack.
The film's closing credits explain that, on her death in 1944, Mrs Henderson bequeathed the theatre to Mr Van Damm.

Mrs Henderson Presents is a musical comedy with music by George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain, with lyrics by Don Black and a book by Terry Johnson. Based on the 2005 film Mrs Henderson Presents, the musical received its world premiere at the Theatre Royal, Bath in 2015 and transferred to the West End's Noël Coward Theatre in February 2016. The film was based on the true story of Laura Henderson and London's Windmill Theatre.
Background
[edit]
The musical is based on the 2005 film Mrs Henderson Presents.[1] The film was based on the true story of London's Windmill Theatre[2] and its owner Laura Henderson, who transformed the theatre and produced Revudeville shows featuring static naked tableaux girls, exploiting a loophole in the Lord Chamberlain's Lord Cromer censorship laws.[3][4]
In June 2014, it was first revealed by producer John Reid that an adaption was in the works,[5] with a workshop taking place the same year.[6] On 16 October 2014, the musical was officially confirmed and it was announced that the show would receive its world premiere in summer 2015, with a view to a West End transfer.[7] The musical is directed by and has a book by Terry Johnson,[8] based on an original screenplay by Martin Sherman,[9] with choreography by Andrew Wright,[10] set design by Tim Shortall,[10] costume design by Paul Wills,[10] lighting by Ben Ormerod[10] and magic consultancy by Scott Penrose.[11]
Production history
[edit]
The show's premiere production began previews at the Theatre Royal in Bath, on 15 August 2015, with its official opening night coming on 26 August, for a limited run until 25 September 2015.[12] Rehearsals began on 7 July 2015.[13] On 6 March 2015, initial casting was announced with the news that Janie Dee would play the role of Laura Henderson with Emma Williams playing Maureen.[14] Further notable casting included Ian Bartholomew as Vivian Van Damm and Mark Hadfield as Arthur.[15] On 7 July 2015, it was revealed that Janie Dee had withdrawn from the production prior to rehearsals for personal reasons and that Tracie Bennett would replace her in the role of Laura Henderson.[16]
Following completion of the musicals tryout in Bath, it was announced that the show would transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre in London's West End,[17] with an official opening night of 16 February 2016, following previews from 9 February.[18] The majority of the cast reprised their roles with the exceptions of Mark Hadfield, who was replaced in the role of Arthur by former EastEnders actor Jamie Foreman,[19] Graham Hoadly who (owing to a prior contractual commitment) was replaced in the role of Lord Cromer by Robert Hands and Jane Milligan who was replaced in the role of Lady Conway by Liz Ewing.[20]
The West End show garnered mixed reviews and closed after its initial four-month run. No official reason was given for the close although it is not believed to have been a financial success. In her 2 star review for the Evening Standard, Fiona Mountford stated that the musical "shares with the film a desperate lack of momentum", and of the songs, "none are memorable".[21] In his 4 star review for The Stage, Mark Shenton stated that the show "doesn't shy from occasional hard edges. Instead, by concentrating on the backstage lives of the dancers and management of the Windmill, there's more of a jaunty, frequently patriotic, flavour to it – that both sings and occasionally stings.[22]
On March 15, 2017, the production opened at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada where it played a limited engagement until April 23, 2017. The show was essentially recast although Tracie Bennett reprised the role of Mrs Henderson, with the cast also including Peter Polycarpou and Evelyn Hoskins as Maureen.[23]
Music
[edit]
The musical features an original score composed by George Fenton and Simon Chamberlain,[24] with lyrics by Don Black,[25][26] orchestrations by Larry Blank,[27] sound design by Gareth Owen[28] and musical direction and vocal arrangements by Mike Dixon.[29]
Musical numbers
[edit]
Orchestra
[edit]
The musical uses an eight-member orchestra consisting of Keyboard, Woodwind, Trumpet, Drums, Percussion, Double Bass and Cello.[11]

Welcome to America
Tom arrives in Los Angeles to stay with his American cousins, Al and Kitty Chadwick, and to try and discover why his great-great-grandfather Charles left for England more than a hundred years ago. Al has invited two other cousins--Rick, who also lives in California, and Dave, who's on a road trip from North Carolina--to a family barbecue. With Rick's girlfriend Julie and Al's neighbor Mike rounding out the party, everyone gets to know each other a little better, and they put their heads together to figure out how the family ended up having branches in both the United States and England. As the drinks flow, tongues loosen and inhibitions are dropped, ice is not the only thing that gets broken underneath the California sun.
Civil War
Tom's cousin Rick, an American Civil War enthusiast, helps Tom find out more about his great-great-grandfather Charles' mysterious activities as a soldier in the war. They visit a Civil War expert, Harvey Krupp, who agrees to investigate further on Tom's behalf, and invites him to take part in a Civil War re-enactment that he organized. A car accident leads Tom to meet a beautiful aspiring writer, Ally Keele, and the attraction appears to be mutual. Tom gamely participates in the Civil War re-enactment with Rick, Julie and Harvey, but war isn't all it's cracked up to be. During the battle, he gets a phone call and some news from England. Afterwards, Harvey gives him some even more interesting news about his great-great-grandfather, which explains a lot of things.

Mrs Henderson Presents is a play in the comedy genre (similar to vaudeville acts first performed at the Pantages in Hollywood) that has beautiful music and effects by George Fenton. The musical was performed based on the 2005 film named Mrs Henderson Presents, and it received the world premiere in 2015 at the Theater Royal, Bath. However, one year hence, it was moved to Noel Coward Theater in the West End. As the film was based on a true story of Laura Henderson, the movie, as well as the music, gained immense popularity.
Background
Like mentioned above, the entire musical is based on the 2005 movie Mrs Henderson Presents, which is again a real-life story of the London’s Windmill Theater. Laura Henderson, the owner of the theatre, transformed it and produced Revudeville shows which cast tableaux static naked girls, which thereby exploited a loophole in the censorship laws laid down by Lord Chamberlain’s Lord Cromer. The musically was officially confirmed its show on 16th October in 2014 and that it would also receive the world premiere in 2915.
Plot and Review
It is relied on real events that happened in a London theatre that caused an impresario who shocked the British to full nudity. The musical play stars Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins, who plays the real-life story of Laura Henderson. She as an eccentric widow who turned the London Windmill Theater into a nude revue, defying the guardians of the establishment and kept it open even at the time of the bombing, during the second world war.
The play features frontal nudity which is artfully lit and was inevitably used as the marketing strategy. It is also an adaption of the times and creaky movie. The storyline was too god to be ignored and hence the musical, in 2005, and it was also showcased at the Royal Alexandra Theater in 2017.
The story starts when Mr. Henderson dies in 1919 and leaves the first Mrs Henderson with a hefty pile of money. Mrs Henderson uses this money to buy a theatre – The Windmill Theater in London and eventually finds it boring due to an efficient manager. To spice things up, she allows for nudity. Although initially in the 1930s she wasn’t allowed to show nudity, however embracing the nude paintings by famous artists intimidated her.
The musical is about London in the 1930s during the war and the continuous revues loss and other interesting characters in the backstage. The play also consists of a touching love story between Eddie and Maureen which brings back the effects o the war.
Crew
The setting of the entire play was managed by Tim Shortall, which shows the exact backstage of Mrs Henderson and the roof garret.

2007 #31 Dame Judi Dench starts a nude revue on BBC Two tonight at 10:30pm.

Judi Dench is clearly having a whale of a time in this 1930s-set comedy about a 70-year-old widow who starts up a nude revue.
It begins as light comedy with a gently risque edge (rather in-keeping with its subject matter!), but things get a tad serious when the war hits. Luckily the film finds its lightness again in time for the ending, which is much more suited to the general tone.
All told it’s simply a bit of fun, but its overall quality just about nudges it into a four.

Itâs hard to know what to make of Stephen Frearsâ career these days. He goes from movies as piercing as Dirty Pretty Things and as raucous as High Fidelity to this staid British music-hall drama that seems calculated to earn Judi Dench lots of award notices. Mission accomplished on the latter score, and I donât begrudge the Dame a thing. Sheâs very good and likable as the feisty dowager Mrs. Henderson, who buys a rundown London theatre to operate after the death of her husband leaves her bored and looking for an activity to fill up her time. Not the sort to cotton to a hobby like embroidery or ladiesâ charity committees, Mrs. Henderson (based on a real person) wants something more involving to do with her life. Itâs hard, however, to recognize the Frears of the gritty My Beautiful Laundrette and The Grifters amid all the aristocratic bearings of Mrs. Henderson Presents. The filmâs story is quite slight and the characters, although potentially interesting, are underdeveloped. Opening during the years between the wars and ending during the blitz, Mrs. Henderson Presents is full of that stiff-upper-lip Blighty spirit. In short order, Mrs. Henderson hires the autocratic Vivian Van Damm (Hoskins) to be the theatreâs creative director, who in turn hires a gaggle of chorus girls to brighten their stage. When their first burst of success is copied by all the other London theatres, Mrs. Henderson wants to showcase nude girls as their theatreâs new hook. The reluctant Lord Chamberlain (Guest), whoâs in charge of licensing shows, gives her the go-ahead on the promise that the girls remain static as in a living tableau. Many, many breasts are on display in this movie, which would probably be rated PG-13 but for the mammaries (and perhaps a brief empathetic display of some male frontal nudity â including Hoskinsâ nethers). Yet thereâs nothing arousing or quaintly entertaining about these displays, even though the musical stage numbers do have a bit of bounce. We learn little about any of the numerous characters, and the mechanics of the stormy working relationship between Henderson and Van Damm are teased rather than exposed. Some of the flavor of war-time Britain comes through, but itâs too little too late. We learn also that thereâs substance beneath Mrs. Hendersonâs flighty exterior â but didnât we know this at the outset? Perhaps some of the problem lies in the filmâs awkward mixture of drama, comedy, and music-hall numbers, but we should be able to trust Frears to overcome ordinary narrative difficulties such as these. Dench deserves better, and unfortunately it will probably be a long time before she gets another starring role in a movie custom-made for an actress her age.

Marsh and Pertwee of the Yard. Needless to say, there are no “tableaux” being enacted at this juncture.
I have to take my woolly hat off to Val Guest, who devoted a long, long lifetime to slipping sex and nudity into British movies. Of course, when it suddenly became easy to do so in the seventies, the practice became redundant and Guest gave us the charmless, gormless CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER and the very weird THE AU-PAIR GIRLS. (I’ve long held that the seventies British sex comedy was a government conspiracy to wipe out the working class by putting them off sex forever. Operation Prole-Wipe failed only because Robin Askwith is slightly too talented and not quite memorable enough, so that plebeian copulators did not have his gurning countenance superimposed over their vision as they went at it by night.) Guest claimed that WINDOW CLEANER would have been hailed as an art film if it had been foreign — I suppose in a sense it resembles Paul Verhoeven’s TURKISH DELIGHT as made by a nice old man. That niceness of course removes the closest thing to a point the Verhoeven movie could be claimed to have. AU-PAIR is creepy and peculiar and doesn’t even try to be funny most of the time. Some lovely girls, including Nick Drake’s sister Gabrielle, are served up in a lumpen, unerotic way, which typifies this genre, the only variation being when older, less shapely character actresses are also induced to submit the camera’s cold, unflattering gaze.
But the early, naughty years see Guest pulling off some surprising coups de cinema. For 80,000 SUSPECTS, Claire “most beautiful woman in the world” Bloom hand-picked her body double, then decided she had nice breasts and did it herself, in blink-and-you-miss-it-and-regret-it-forever nip slip moment that is so fleeting it feels genuinely accidental. Guest fills the screen with basically topless dancing girls in highland (un)dress in ESPRESSO BONGO, and showcases an unclad and very shiny Janet Munro in THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE. And it’s a good job most 11-year-olds don’t have heart conditions or my schoolfriends and I wouldn’t have survived our visit to see WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH.
MURDER AT THE WINDMILL is a fairly duff comic whodunnit, enlivened by solid comic playing by Garry Marsh and a young Jon Pertwee, and its setting at the Windmill Theatre in London, celebrated in MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS. “We never closed,” reads a sign, referring to the fact that the nude revue managed to stay open during the Blitz. The Lord Chamberlain, the theatre censor at the time (if you picture a dusty, cobwebbed octogenarian with an ear trumpet you are probably bang on) for some reason ruled that nude girls were artistic if they stood very still in tableaux vivant, but would become pornographic rape triggers if they trotted about. Oddly, he may have had some kind of a point: I finally figured out that Jesus Franco films don’t strike me as sexy because of the odd passivity of his female characters — they generally either stay still, or move about emotionlessly, so as to seem not quite human. And I am only attracted to humans.
So cockneys were able to see naked girls behaving like naked statues. But this only applied to the stage. In British movies, nobody (except maybe the occasional baby) was nude, right? Not quite so — Patricia Roc goes skinny-dipping in the freezing North Sea in THE BROTHERS, invoking the seldom-cited “only in extreme longshot” ruling (see also Claudette Colbert in FOUR FRIGHTENED PEOPLE). But most of MURDER AT THE WINDMILL is as full-clothed as any bluenose could wish. There’s one fan dance, which would never have been allowed at the Windmill — she’s MOVING, for God’s sake! The girl’s obscene!
But in the opening number, Guest decorates the stage with a couple of naked female statues who look surprisingly lifelike. Later, when the police reconstruct the boring crime (audience member shot from somewhere on stage), the statues’ places are occupied by identical girls in dressing gowns. Surprising! The old fox actually seems to have featured full-frontally nude adult women in a 1949 commercially-released movie.
They seem to have managed to find naked girls without generative organs, like Linnea Quigley. I always assumed that nudes of the Pamela Green era of British smut had been airbrushed into featurelessness, but the movies did not possess airbrushing technology in those days — unless you could THIS shot in UN CHIEN ANDALOU —
But Guest is moving the camera, so dab of vaseline in the appropriate place wouldn’t do it on this occasion. We are forced to the conclusion that the girls must be wearing some form of fleshings, a conclusion I have resisted until this last sentence because I don’t like the word fleshings.

Thomas Ewing Jr. is perhaps most remembered for issuing and enforcing General Order No. 11 during the Civil War. But Ewing’s legacy far exceeds this one event. Ewing was a vital player in engineering the entry of Kansas into the Union as a free state, served as the first Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, defended Dr. Samuel Mudd against conspiracy charges in the Lincoln assassination, and was a member of Congress from Ohio as well as a self-trained military leader during the Civil War.
Ewing was born on August 7, 1829, in Lancaster, Ohio into a highly influential, political family. His father, Thomas Ewing Sr., was Secretary of the Treasury under President William Henry Harrison, Secretary of the Interior under President Zachary Taylor and a U.S. Senator from Ohio (1850-1851).
Along with his brothers, cousins, and his foster-brother, William Tecumseh Sherman, Ewing was educated at the private Lancaster Academy which was founded by the Ewing and Sherman families. From 1849–1850, Ewing served as private secretary to President Zachary Taylor and after Taylor’s death, enrolled but did not receive degrees from Brown University and the Cincinnati Law School. While waiting for the right opportunities to enter politics he traveled and met Ellen Cox whom he married on January 8, 1856.
An exciting and non-traditional opportunity to enter national politics presented itself when Kansas became a territory and statehood seemed on the horizon.
An exciting and non-traditional opportunity to enter national politics presented itself when Kansas became a territory and statehood seemed on the horizon. He hoped to establish himself in Kansas and thereby gain appointment to represent Kansas in the U.S. Senate. With this goal in mind, he and Ellen moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1856, where he worked to earn his fortune as a lawyer and land speculator while developing his political base.
Ewing was antislavery in his beliefs and gravitated toward the Free-State Party. In 1858 he was a delegate to the Leavenworth Convention and was instrumental in having the Wyandotte (free state) Constitution adopted as the one under which Kansas entered the Union. He was not appointed senator, but he was chosen to be the first chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court and was sworn in on February 9, 1861.
When the Civil War broke out, Ewing helped organize the 11th Kansas Infantry. When he was appointed colonel over the unit, he resigned as chief justice. In September 1862, the 11th Infantry became part of the District of Missouri. In June 1863, Ewing was made commander of the District of the Border, which included those parts of Kansas and Missouri north of the 38th parallel.
The guerrilla warfare that dominated the border region reached its apex with Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence, Kansas, in August 1863. Determined to eliminate the incessant cross-border raids, Ewing issued General Order No. 11 requiring all persons living in Bates, Cass, Jackson, and upper Vernon Counties in Missouri to leave the area by September 9, 1863. The evacuation order forced 20,000 Missourians out of their homes. George Caleb Bingham, a famous Missouri painter and state politician, immortalized the evacuation in two identical paintings titled Martial Law or Order No. 11.
While General Order No. 11 remains controversial, contemporary Union supporters believed that it was necessary to bring some measure of peace to the District. Nonetheless, Ewing’s political support was weakened both among the army’s leaders and in Washington.
Ewing and his men escaped under cover of darkness by moving silently along a road that ran between two Confederate encampments.
In November 1864, the Department of Kansas was enlarged to include Kansas, Nebraska Territory, Colorado Territory, Indian Territory, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Department was placed under Major General Samuel Curtis, a supporter of James Lane, U.S. Senator (1861-1866). In the process, Thomas Ewing temporarily lost his command, but in March 1864 he was reassigned to the District of St. Louis under General William Rosecrans, where he continued to fight Missouri pro-Confederate guerrillas. His stern methods sustained his reputation as being ruthless and unrelenting in his determination to root out the disruptive rebel forces.
In addition to his activities against Missouri’s guerrillas, Ewing also contended with the Confederate Army, which invaded Missouri in the fall of 1864. On September 27, 1864, General Ewing led a small contingent of Union soldiers against General Price’s significantly larger Confederate force at Pilot Knob. Despite being outnumbered, Ewing initially refused to surrender the fort where his Union forces had taken cover. The ensuing battle left 1,000 Confederate soldiers dead. Recognizing his precarious situation, Ewing and his men escaped under cover of darkness by moving silently along a road that ran between two Confederate encampments. After Ewing’s departure, a slow-burning fuse lit by the Union soldiers blew up the magazine, thus preventing it from falling into Confederate hands.
Ewing resigned his commission in February 1865. Initially, he planned to remain in Kansas, where Order No. 11 was popular, but he underestimated the determination of strong political enemies, such as James H. Lane and George Caleb Bingham, who lobbied against him. Ewing compounded the damage to his political career when, in May 1865, he successfully defended Elman “Edward” Spangler, Samuel Arnold and Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, all of whom were accused of conspiracy in Lincoln’s assassination. Recognizing that he would not be able to obtain an appointment to political office, he moved to Washington, D.C. to practice law.
In 1870, Ewing returned to his native state of Ohio and was elected to serve in the United States Congress between 1877 and 1881. He never attained his dream of becoming a United States Senator and after leaving Congress never stood for election again. He moved to New York City and again opened a law practice. Thomas Ewing Jr. died at the age of 66 on January 21, 1896, after being struck by a street car in New York City.

Political and personal events behind railroad development in Kansas Territory, with emphasis on the role of entrepreneur Thomas Ewing, Jr. and the Kansas Pacific Railway
| null |
IN THE SPRING of 1854 congress opened Kansas territory to white settlement. The early comers who began to layout townsites fully realized that it would be necessary for the new communities to acquire railroad connections the East -- and even with the Pacific West -- if they were really to be successful. Kansas promoters were aware, also, of the fact that federal, state, and local government aid would be necessary to finance railroad construction. There was not enough capital in the territory to do the job, and too much risk was involved to expect heavy investments on the part of Eastern or foreign capitalists. Kansas' territorial status and its disorderly internal politics further encouraged local promoters to look directly to Washington for aid. [1]
The Kansas promoters resented the fact that much land in the territory was reserved to the Indians, contending that these lands, and those held by the federal government, should be turned over to capitalists to be used to finance railroad construction. Both the Free-State and Proslavery parties agreed that the federal government should allocate lands to be used to promote railroad construction in the territory, and incorporated such demands into the various territorial constitutions. [2]
Thomas Ewing, Jr., was one of Kansas territory's most active boosters, and for a time its most successful railroad promoter. The 27-year-old Ewing entered Kansas territory in the autumn of 1856. His impressive physical appearance, vast energy, and sharp intelligence combined with important family connections and wealth assured for him immediate acceptance. Ewing was the son and namesake of Thomas Ewing, Sr., of Lancaster, Ohio, a former Whig senator and cabinet member. Thomas Ewing, Jr., had served as a personal secretary to President Taylor while his father was secretary of the interior. Ewing then attended Brown University and studied law at the University of Cincinnati, being admitted to the bar in 1855.. He was a friend and cousin of James G. Blaine and a close personal friend of John Sherman whose brother, William T. Sherman, married Ewing's sister Ellen. Thus, when Ewing entered Kansas he was well acquainted with the various departments of government, especially the Department of the Interior, and he had already begun to develop the kind of personal connections which soon proved helpful to him as a railroad lobbyist. In Kansas Ewing helped to found the Republican party, and in November, 1859, was elected chief justice of Kansas.
Ewing settled in and invested heavily in real estate in Leavenworth, at that time a boom town which, with a permanent population of 7,229 in 1860, was the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco. In the depression which plagued Kansas territory in the wake of the panic of 1857 Ewing lost heavily in real estate speculations and faced financial failure. This forced him to make desperate efforts to obtain federal subsidies for railroad facilities. Ewing focused his attention on the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Company. Chartered by the Kansas territorial legislature in 1855, the company was to be allowed to build from Leavenworth to Pawnee near Fort Riley via Lawrence and Topeka, and from there to the 100th meridian along the Smoky Hill river. The company was authorized to issue five million dollars worth of stock, and was required to start construction within five years and to complete it within 12. [3]
Between 1855 and 1857 nothing was done with the L. P. & W. Many of the original incorporators lost interest and the L. P. & W. languished as just another of the several paper railroads projected in Kansas during the territorial period. In late December, 1856, a movement began to breathe life into the L. P. & W. The original incorporators, all Proslavery men, anticipated difficulty with- the first Kansas Free-State legislature which was scheduled to convene in 1857. In a reorganization Thomas Ewing, Jr., and his elder brother, Hugh, known to be moderate Free- State men, joined the company to forestall any political troubles that might arise concerning charter amendments. Also, the company was angling for government grants to aid construction and it was correctly believed that the Ewings -- and their influential father -- would be able to aid in the lobbying effort that necessarily would be involved in securing federal aid. On January 5, 1857, Thomas Ewing, Jr., was elected to the board of directors and Hugh Ewing was elected president of the company. The board then delegated authority to Hugh Ewing to go to Washington to seek a grant to assist in construction of the line. [4]
On December 26, 1856, the L. P. & W. opened its books to stock subscriptions, and supposedly received an initial pledged subscription of $156,000. If only paid shares were voted in the election for the president and board members on January 5, 1857, however, the company would only have taken in $1,550 in cash. In May, 1857, a surveyor was hired, and by the end of the year a tentative route was projected between Leavenworth and Fort Riley. [5]
In the process of the survey the L. P. & W. found its path blocked by the Delaware reservation east of Lawrence and the Pottawatomie reservation west of Topeka. In 1858 the L. P. & W. started an extensive campaign of lobbying, headed by Thomas Ewing, Jr., and Andrew J. Isaacs, formerly the attorney general of the territory, to get possession of the Delaware and Pottawatomie lands. More than merely attaining a right-of-way was at stake. Sales from the Indian reserves could help finance the construction of the railroad, while unsold land would serve as collateral for loans. Even if the L. P. & W. had to pay a fair price of two or three dollars an acre for the land it would be worth it because once the railroad was built the land would rapidly increase in value. Simultaneously, the L. P. & W. began lobbying in Washington for federal grants of land to be used to finance construction. [6]
From 1857 effective control of the L. P. & W. rested with four men: John H. McDowell, James C. Stone, A. J. Isaacs, and Thomas Ewing, Jr., and by 1863, all of these men except Ewing had served as president of the company. The control by the four men was formalized on November 3, 1860, when the board adopted resolutions creating an "executive committee" which was empowered to "make contracts, borrow money, conclude mortgages, appoint agents, and do all other acts which in their judgment may be necessary and proper for the interests of the company." [7] This empowered the executive committee to make all of the L. P. & W.'s important decisions and to negotiate and close contracts without consulting either a large number of stockholders or the board of directors. The original executive committee was composed of Isaacs, Stone, and McDowell. At this time Thomas Ewing, Jr., was the official designated to attempt to secure land grants from congress or from the Indians. On April 11, 1861, he was added to the executive committee. [8]
Although the L. P. & W. made efforts to secure federal aid from 1857 to 1860, sectional controversy in congress and town and railroad rivalry in Kansas thwarted its efforts. Then, in 1860, the impoverished promoters devised a bold and ingenious scheme for obtaining the Indian lands and endowing their company. The promoters negotiated directly with the Delaware Indians for the purchase of their reserve. They gambled that opposition from the Department of the Interior or from local Indian agents could be countered by incorporating their agreement with the Indians directly into a treaty, and taking it to congress for ratification. On May 30, 1860, the promoters reached an agreement with the Indians. The L. P. & W. was the chief beneficiary of what was ostensibly a treaty between the United States government and the Delaware Indians.
The Delaware treaty of May 30, 1860, implemented a provision of a treaty of 1854, which provided that, at their request, the Indians could have their reserve surveyed and assigned to individuals in severalty. Each member of the Delaware tribe would then be entitled to 80 acres of timbered land. This assignment in severalty was to be made in a compact body, thus leaving in effect a largely diminished reserve.
Article three of the treaty of 1800 conveyed to the Leavenworth, Pawnee, and Western Railroad Company the right to purchase the remainder of the lands after the assignments in severalty were made.- The company was required, on its part, to pay into the United States treasury the appraised value of the land, the minimum of which could be $1.25 an acre, which would be held in trust for the Indians. Payment was required to be made in gold or silver coin. Upon payment of "a just compensation" to the individuals involved -the L. P. & W. was also given a perpetual right-of-way over any of the lands retained by the Delawares in severalty. In order to secure the construction of the railroad within a reasonable time, the treaty specified that the L. P. & W. could not patent the land until it had completed and equipped 25 miles of the road from Leavenworth, at which time the company would be entitled to one half of the lands; it could secure the second half upon completion of the railroad to the western border of the Delaware reservation. If the company should fail to complete the road "within a reasonable time" it would forfeit its title to the United States government. The railroad company was also required to sell all its lands that were not required for railroad purposes within seven years.
The Delaware treaty reserved land for several institutions and special interest groups whose opposition could, if it materialized, prove embarrassing to the company. Thus, substantial tracts were donated to mission schools and churches, as well as to the principal chiefs and the interpreter. The chiefs were also to receive an annual payment of $1,500 apiece from the funds paid by the L. P. & W. into the United States treasury. [9]
The promoters of the L. P. & W. negotiated with the Indians quietly, and drew little attention to themselves. Although rumors circulated concerning their negotiations with the Indians, few people other than the principals involved knew what was going on. Because of this, opposition had no time to organize against the project. The treaty slid rapidly through congress, and on August 27, 1860, was proclaimed as law by President Buchanan.
Thomas Ewing, Jr., was delighted with the Delaware treaty, estimating that the land the company had an opportunity to acquire was already worth 10 dollars an acre. His optimism was, however, tempered by the realization that the L. P. & W. lacked cash or mortgageable assets. Ewing knew that much more work needed to be done before the promoters of the L. P. & W. could be assured of profiting from their enterprise. In fact, he feared that they would be unable to carry through on their project. [10]
The company's first task was to insure that the treaty was safely implemented. Much of this work was done by Isaacs, who went to Washington in the summer of 1860. There he gained assurances from the commissioner of Indian affairs and from officials in the Department of the Interior that the lands would be appraised at or near the legal minimum. The land was surveyed and appraised, and in September, 1860, the Indians were given their allotments. The three appraisers followed instructions from the Interior department and assessed the land without regard for any appreciation that might result from the presence of a railroad, and upon what they judged it would bring at public auction, if sold in one body for gold or silver coin. Under this rationale, the appraisers ruled that the L. P. & W. had the right to purchase 223,996 acres for $286,776 or about $1.28 an acre. One year later the L. P. & W. was selling this land for $6.50 an acre. [11]
Hoping to gain financial support by giving their company the appearance of a well-managed, viable concern, the promoters took job applications from contractors and engineers, and surveyed a route through the Delaware reserve. Then the promoters found themselves in a bind. They could not begin construction without a loan, and they could not get a loan until they could demonstrate the capability of building the railroad. Furthermore, capitalists withheld funds because of two treaty clauses which they found objectionable: first, the provisions requiring the company to complete 25 miles of road before it could obtain one half of the lands, and to reach the end of the reserve before it could get the remainder; second, the requirement of full payment for the lands within six months. These problems prevented the L. P. & W. from securing a mortgage loan, and by the fall of 1860, the company was in danger of losing the Delaware lands. [12]
Thomas Ewing, Jr., the most important Republican politician in the L. P. & W., was dispatched to Washington to confer with officials in the new Lincoln administration in order to modify the unfavorable terms of the Delaware treaty. He was prepared to use almost any means to achieve his objective. He made this clear at the time of the negotiations of the Delaware treaty, when he attempted to raise $25,000 to $50,000 from Leavenworth men to support the lobbying effort. [13] He also wrote to Gov. Charles Robinson, advising him to:
make up $10,000 to $15,000 of Lawrence property with which to secure aid from the rapacious lobby, which will never let the bill go through until their hunger is appeased. Among them are gentlemen of character & influence who for a reasonable fee in property made contingent on the passage of the bill, would go to work for the bill & do it substantial service. [14]
Ewing's task was complicated by the fact that opposition to the L. P. & W. now organized. One source of resistance was a group of Delawares connected with the Baptist Mission who were encouraged by John W. Wright, an Indiana banker and land and railroad speculator, who perhaps coveted the Indians' lands for himself. The Indians hired Wright's friend and a specialist in land litigation, John P. Usher, to represent them. Usher correctly asserted that the Delawares had not been paid for the lands which they had ceded to the L. P. & W. He contended that any further governmental assistance to the L. P. & W. would only compound what he indignantly denounced as, a "gross heartless and nefarious fraud." [15] Wright rushed to Washington to oppose the L. P. & W. He also bombarded the Department of the Interior with letters asserting that the Delaware treaty of May 30, 1860, had been secured through fraud, and the lands were grossly undervalued by the appraisers. [16]
The complaining Indians were supported by the government agent to the Delawares, Fielding Johnson. Johnson sent the Department of the Interior an affidavit from Charles Jonneycake (or Joumeycake), who [sic] he described as "'probably the most intelligent man in the tribe." Jonneycake knew English and was present at the signing of the treaty. He swore that the chiefs, who were "old men of but little education" had been made "temporarily biblious" and then were bribed by James C. Stone and "certain men in Leavenworth in the employ or interest of the Leavenworth & Pawnee Railroad Co." Jonneycake asserted that until its publication by congress the terms of the treaty had been concealed from the members of the tribe. Furthermore, Jonneycake charged that Stone had unsuccessfully attempted to bribe the leaders of the tribe into investing their trust funds in the railroad company. Jonneycake concluded that in his opinion "all the Indians are dissatisfied with the appraisement except as has been bribed by said railroad company . . . all the chiefs have been bribed at the time of its execution & some of them have been bribed to ratify the appraisement of the lands." [17]
A second source of opposition to the L. P. & W. came from the white settlers who had squatted on the Delaware reserve. They were convinced that if the L. P. & W. were thwarted in its attempts to get the lands, they could get them at the appraised price. Although the L. P. & W. offered to make lenient arrangements with the settlers the latter refused either to pay or vacate. [18] The L. P. & W. was aided in its conflict with the settlers by John P. Usher, whom the company hired in August, 1861, after he deserted his former clients, the Delaware Indians. Usher was specifically hired to assist in the procurement of the lands belonging to the Pottawatomie Indians, although he served the company in any matters involving the Department of the Interior, where his close friend, Caleb Smith, was secretary. Usher became even more valuable to the L. P. & W. in March, 1862, when he became assistant secretary of the interior. [19] At Ewing's request, Usher persuaded Secretary Smith to issue statements declaring that the L. P. & W. had a clear title to the Delaware lands, but that if it should forfeit them bona fide settlers could purchase the land at the government appraisement. This, Ewing hoped, would aid the sales of land by the company, which began October 1, 1861. [20]
Opposition from Wright's group proved more pressing. Ewing acted in several ways to overcome it. He arrived in Washington armed with an elaborate brief and an impressive assortment of endorsements from influential persons. All of these affidavits asserted that the Indian chiefs were sober during the treaty negotiations, and that the treaty was explained to and received the consent of the entire tribe. The brief explained why the L. P. & W. was unable to pay for the lands, and argued that new terms of payment should be arranged, as the Indians desired the railroad to be constructed, and its construction was a commercial necessity to Kansas. The L. P. & W. proposed "that the amount to be paid . . . be invested in the bonds of the company payable annually; the bonds to be secured on one hundred thousand acres of the (Delaware) lands." [21] Ewing had letters from a large number of prominent Kansans supporting the company's proposal, attesting to the integrity of its promoters, and offering assurance that the Delaware lands were worth eight to 10 dollars an acre and hence were adequate security for $300,000. [22]
Most importantly, Ewing visited with President Lincoln several times, and was able to enlist his support. Ewing had to use his full powers of persuasion, as Lincoln feared that aid to the L. P. & W. would receive unfavorable newspaper publicity. On June 2, 1861, Ewing reported:
I had my business in the very act of being closed successfully, when that fellow John Wright got here and attacked it savagely, and the President is now inclined strongly to retract his order for the investment. He is afraid of newspaper clamor against it. He promised me yesterday to see me Tuesday to determine his final action. [23]
In their next meeting, Ewing successfully persuaded Lincoln to issue a proclamation incorporating the wishes of the L. P. & W. [24] On June 10, 1861, Lincoln directed that, if the Indians approved, the railroad company could execute the bonds, to be deposited to the account of the Delawares, for the sum of $286,742.15. The bonds were to be secured by a mortgage upon 100,000 acres of the Delaware lands. After the company had deposited its bonds "all matters . . . shall proceed in conformity with said treaty, as if the money had been paid by said Railroad Company, and had been invested by the President in said Railroad bonds." [25] In brief, the company and the President admitted that the Delaware lands had been vastly undervalued, and that 123,000 acres which the company was now free to sell or to mortgage to other parties was worth the amount placed by the appraisers upon the original 223,996 acres.
President Lincoln, sensing that his proclamation was unfair to the Indians, insisted upon incorporating its provisions into a treaty which they would be free to approve or reject. Ewing labored tirelessly throughout the summer of 1861 to secure the ratification of the treaty. He solidified support for the treaty from Indian agency officials by presenting them with grants of land. On July 2, 1861, these officials -- led by William P. Dole -- induced the Indians to agree to the new treaty. Ewing had returned to Kansas to oversee the negotiations, and at this time he executed the company's six percent bonds and delivered them to Kansas district court Judge Archibald Williams as directed by President Lincoln. [26]
Ewing believed that if President Lincoln let the arrangement stand (and he predicted that he would) the company would be able to begin construction, and he could finally get out of debt. The company could quickly get some cash from its sales of land, and pay construction costs in land. As Ewing expected, on July 19, 1861, Lincoln sent the treaty to the senate for ratification. On August 6, 1861, the treaty was ratified, although it was not proclaimed until October 4, 1861, because the approval of the Delawares had to be secured to several amendments which had been made by the senate at Lincoln's suggestion. The most important of these, added "for the perfect security of the Indians," provided that the L. P. & W. could not patent any of the mortgaged lands until they had been paid for. [27]
By the 1850's new ways of defrauding the Indians were rare. The idea of a firm negotiating directly with the Indians, and then having the senate ratify the results as a treaty, was such a novelty. Although the idea of using this method should probably be credited to A. J. Isaacs, [28] it was Thomas Ewing, Jr., in his role as the chief lobbyist for the L. P. & W., who demonstrated just how effective this technique could be. What, in brief, had happened? In danger of losing their lands because of their inability to pay the price specified by the first Delaware treaty, the promoters of the L. P. & W. carried through a scheme in which a new treaty (negotiated under even more dubious conditions than the first) was ratified after an intense lobbying effort. As a result, 100,000 acres of land, for which the company paid nothing, were placed in trust for the Indians, and served as security for the entire 223,996 acre tract of which they were a part. This left the L. P. & W. 123,996 acres available to sell or mortgage, without having to pay a cent for it.
After the L. P. & W. secured the highly advantageous modification of the Delaware treaty, its promoters renewed their efforts to get Eastern capitalists interested in the project. They also began making vigorous efforts to secure a similar treaty with the Pottawatomie Indians. On September 2, 1861, the executive committee of the L. P. & W. signed a contract with John P. Usher and Saunders W. Johnston, an important Kansas Democrat and a former territorial chief justice; the two agreed to work for the immediate ratification of the new treaty and amendments by the Delaware chiefs. They further agreed to attempt to procure a treaty with the Pottawatomie tribe "for the sale or donation" of their lands to the L. P. & W. on terms favorable to the company. [29] The Pottawatomie lands which had attracted the attention of Thomas Ewing, Jr., consisted of 576,000 acres commencing three miles west of Topeka and stretching westward for 30 miles on both sides of the Kansas river. [30] Ewing and Stone drafted the treaty which was submitted to the Pottawatomies authorizing the purchase of the reserve by the railroad. Ewing then engaged in negotiations with the Indians, and also paved the way for the treaty's ratification by making arrangements with officials and politicians. On September 12, 1861, Ewing reported:
I have been engaged going about the country with the Commissioner and initiating a treaty with the Pottawatomies similar to the amended Treaty with the Delawares. There are two factions in the Pottawatomie tribe, the Savages and the Catholic Indians, the latter of whom appointed Delegates to treat and the former are holding the matter under advisement. I think that treaty will be made this fall, or winter. Usher and the Commissioner are now at a good understanding with us and will do what they can for the proposed treaty. If this is made we will put the road to Fort Riley in two years. [31]
In a treaty concluded on November 15, 1861, the Pottawatomies agreed to a reduction of their reserve with each member of the tribe being allotted 80 acres which he could hold in severalty or in common as a member of the tribe, depending upon his choice. Within six months after the Indians selected their tracts the L P. & W. was to be given the privilege of purchasing the remainder -- ultimately 340,000 acres -- at a price of $1.25 an acre, payable in gold or silver. The company was required to maintain a construction schedule similar to that provided in the Delaware treaty. None of the signing chiefs was given land, but St. Mary's Catholic Mission and the Baptist Board of Missions were granted 320 acres each to be used for the maintenance of their schools and churches in fulfillment of promises made by Ewing in order to enlist the support and influence of the missionaries during the treaty negotiations. Ewing was especially pleased with terms of payment for the lands, which allowed the railroad company, if it wished, to postpone the date of payment of the first installment to three years after the ratification of the treaty, with the total price to be paid within nine years. [32]
Ewing had to resort to attractive inducement to assure senatorial ratification of the second Delaware treaty and the Pottawatomie treaty. Powerful Kansas Sen. Samuel C. Pomeroy had to be persuaded to abandon temporarily his own Atchison railroad interests, and to support the L. P. & W. instead. Even before the Pottawatomie treaty was concluded Ewing had written to Pomeroy, mentioning that the company planned a reorganization, and hinting that a place could be found for Pomeroy and his friends. [33] Later, Ewing wrote to Robert McBratney, one of Pomeroy's henchmen, asking him to urge the senator to support the ratification of the Pottawatomie treaty. Ewing assured McBratney that any help which he could give the company would "be appreciated & reciprocated by the company." [34] McBratney and Pomeroy's brother-in-law, Willis E. Gaylord, were each given 4,600 shares of L. P. & W. stock for their aid in putting the treaties through the senate. [35]
Pomeroy's Kansas colleague in the senate, James H. Lane, long a political foe of Ewing's, demanded concessions from the L. P. & W. in exchange for his support. Lane insisted that Gov. Charles Robinson and his friend Robert S. Stevens be forced to resign from their positions as directors of the L. P. & W. to be replaced by two of Lane's supporters, Josiah Miller and Chester Thomas. Lane further demanded that the L. P. & W. give these men $10,000 of fully paid stock, and $20,000 of unpaid stock. One section of land was to be given to a person to be named later by Lane. It was further demanded that the L. P. & W. refrain from using its influence against Lane politically. Ewing agreed to Lane's terms although by doing so he angered Robinson. [36]
Lane and Pomeroy did, in the end, work effectively to secure ratification of the treaty. On April 16, 1862, Ewing wired the Leavenworth Daily Times that the treaty had been ratified. With tongue in cheek, perhaps, he said that the two Kansas senators deserved much praise and credit "for their earnest and untiring support of this great measure." [37]
The L. P. & W. made numerous other settlements. A document entitled "Proposition for Sale" contains a list of at least some of the beneficiaries in the case of the Delaware treaties, although the exact service rendered to the company by some of them is obscure:
Robinson, selected .........................................................
2,250 acres
Fant, selected................................................................

Adams, selected and deeded..........................................
1,280

960
M. F. C............................................................................
320
Robinson's man..............................................................
320
Total in acres [38] .........................................................
10,560
The document clearly reveals the company's debt to Charles Robinson, who could have caused the company much trouble. R. S. Stevens and Benjamin Simpson were both Lawrence businessmen with close contacts with Robinson. H. G. Fant was a Washington banker and a close friend of Ewing's. Charles Jonneycake, who had at one time opposed the second Delaware treaty, served as an interpreter during the final steps involved in securing the Indians' agreement. He may have opposed the treaty simply to extort lands from the L. P. & W. Mark Delahay was a distant relative of President Lincoln, and the surveyor general of Kansas. C. Babcock was an important Kansas Republican, who may have lobbied for the treaties in Washington. "M. F. C." was probably Martin F. Conway, the Kansas congressional representative. William P. Dole, the commissioner of Indian affairs who arranged the supplementary Delaware treaty, and Charles E. Mix, his chief clerk, received 1,200 and 640 acres respectively. Thomas Ewing, Jr., helped himself while he was distributing gratuities. He, Stone, and Isaacs were each to be sold 6,300 acres of Delaware lands at the government appraised price, and they retained as a group the option of buying 26,160 acres of Pottawatomie lands. [39]
Thomas Ewing, Jr.'s initial efforts at railroad promotion were eminently successful. In 1862 his company had yet to lay a single rail, but it did have the opportunity to acquire a substantial equity in the form of the huge Delaware and Pottawatomie, tracts. It was reasonably assumed that these lands could be mortgaged or sold in order to capitalize construction. Ewing had used his association with powerful men whose greed or gullibility he skillfully exploited to secure the Indian treaties and thereby promote the interest of the L. P. & W. He intended to use the same methods to carry his project to completion.
By the time the L. P. & W. got the Pottawatomie treaty ratified the country was engaged in civil war, and hence capital was not available for their enterprise. The promoters envisioned federal aid as a solution to their problems. With Southern opposition removed from congress because of secession it was widely assumed in 1862 that some type of Pacific railway bill would pass. The question was: what local interests would benefit most? The L. P. & W. promoters sought to incorporate special privileges for their company into a Pacific railroad bill and thereby complete the metamorphosis from an impoverished paper railroad company into part of a transcontinental system.
On January 6, 1862 John P. Usher met Stone in New York, where they agreed on lobbying procedures. Upon Usher's recommendation the L. P. & W. hired as a lobbyist Henry Bennett, a former congressman from New York who had long been interested in the construction of a Pacific railroad. Bennett helped Stone and Usher draft a bill, and agreed to lobby for the measure in congress, while Usher mustered support within the cabinet for the company's claims. The bill drawn up by the L. P. & W. was calculated to establish the main route of the transcontinental railroad from the Missouri river to California via Denver. On February 5, 1862, Representative James S. Rollins of Missouri introduced the L. P. & W.'s bill in the house, where it was sent to the select committee on a Pacific railroad, chaired by James H. Campbell of Pennsylvania. The next day Senator Pomeroy introduced the bill in the senate. [40]
In an attempt to demonstrate that there was local interest and support for the L. P. & W.'s bill its promoters persuaded the two houses of the Kansas legislature to adopt a joint resolution which was presented on March 17, 1862, as a memorial to congress. It asserted that the construction of a Pacific railroad was an economic and military necessity, urged the adoption of the Rollins bill, and requested that the state's senators and representative work toward this end. [41]
The Campbell committee considered several bills in addition to that of Rollins. However, it eventually reported a bill that favored Rollins's Missouri interests, and provided very generous benefits for the L. P. & W. [42] The Campbell committee's bill provided aid in the form of loans of bonds and land grants to several railroad companies either chartered or to be chartered for the purpose of constructing the trunk line of a transcontinental railroad and telegraph and its several branches. The L. P. & W. was to be lent $16,000 of bonds per mile to build a 100-mile road from Kansas City to the western boundary of Kansas at the 102d meridian. The L. P. & W. was also to be given aid to connect Leavenworth with the main branch.
Both the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Company and the Pacific Railroad of Missouri were authorized to connect with and aid this eastern branch of the Union Pacific railroad. The other eastern branch of the Union Pacific, which was to have its terminal somewhere in Iowa, could be constructed by all or any one of four east and west lines in that state. They were to build from some point which they could agree not east of the meridian of Kansas City to connect with the L. P. & W., anywhere between 100 and 300 miles west of Kansas City. The Union Pacific Railroad Company was chartered to build the portion of the main line from the western terminus of the L. P. & W. to the eastern boundary of Nevada. Aid was to be given private companies to construct through California and Nevada. A jubilant Ewing wrote that if the Campbell bill passed "my interest will be worth a half million dollars." [43]
In the spring of 1862 all four members of the L. P. & W.'s executive committee were in Washington, engaging in a variety of activities designed to facilitate the passage of the Campbell bill. When the measure was pending in the senate, Thomas Ewing, Jr., compiled and circulated a pamphlet entitled The Charters of the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Company. Ewing's purpose was to convince the senators that the L. P. & W. was a solid enterprise, fully capable of constructing a portion of the transcontinental railroad. The pamphlet included a compilation of the L. R. & W's Kansas charters, which showed that the company was authorized to do what the Campbell bill would subsidize it for, as well as the text of the Kansas legislature's memorial to congress in support of the Rollins bill, with Ewing's notation that the section dealing with the L. P. & W. was substantially the same as in the Campbell bill. [44] "If the bill now pending should become a law," Ewing asserted, "the company can enter at once and vigorously on the construction of the road." [45]
The L P. & W. printed 83,160 shares of stock with a face value of over four million dollars. These shares were passed out to lobbyists, and many ended up in the hands of congressmen, relatives and friends of congressmen, newspaper people, and Kansas politicians. In testimony before the U. S. Pacific Railway Commission in 1887, Ewing, Stone, and Usher denied that they bribed anyone or rewarded anyone improperly for supporting the bill. They did admit that they had heard rumors that this was done, and that it was possible that the lobbyists they hired may have done so. A memorandum made out by Stone at the time of the company's sale suggests that the L. P. & W. offered legislative and executive officials inducements to support a bill favorable to itself. The list contains notations evidently referring to the eventual conduct of the recipients, and indicates the distribution of 84,580 shares, with a face value of $4,284,000. [46]
The Pacific Railway Commission questioned Stone and Usher about the curious memorandum in detail. Ewing, however, was allowed to present the commission with a written statement and then was subjected to a perfunctory examination. In it he purported to explain his connection with the L. P. & W. and tell what he knew about the contracts which were alleged to have been made by the company in aid of the passage of the Pacific railroad law of 1862. Ewing's statement was vague, evasive, and in part untrue. He denied having participated in the management of the L. P. & W. and asserted that he had been only a figurehead as a director. His activities on behalf of the Indian treaties belie this statement, as does his membership on the executive committee. Ewing stated that he had no knowledge of many of the contracts named in Stone's memorandum, although he admitted executing "four or five contracts" on behalf of the L. P. & W. He denied that there was anything improper in this, as lobbyists had to be hired to see that the bill was ably presented "to Congress and the country through the press and by personal discussion with committees and members of Congress." The company had no cash, and could only pay lobbyists in land or stock. Ewing observed that without such lobbying activities, "no measure of mixed public and private interest is ever enacted in Congress or any State legislature." Ewing further claimed that he did not know of or believe that any persons with whom contracts were made had "any corrupt or improper understanding or arrangement with any member of Congress" in regard to the bill. [47]
Ewing was not as naive or ignorant as he pretended. On May 10, 1862, for instance, he had executed a contract with Benjamin H. Cheever, in which the L. P. & W. agreed, in the event an agreeable railroad bill was passed, to reward Cheever with 25 thousand acres of the lands acquired under the act, $65,000 worth of company stock, and $10,000 in cash within one year after passage of the bill. Stone's memorandum listed Cheever as entitled to only $25,000 of stock, with the notation "Supposed to be for Simmons of Rhode Island. The services contemplated were not rendered in full." In 1866 Ewing wrote that Cheever, who was trying to collect, "is entitled to . . . a large compensation, as his efforts were made at a critical time." [48]
Evidently, all of the L. P. & W. promoters made some contracts with which the others were unfamiliar. [49] On the whole, however, Ewing was well informed concerning these affairs. In the late 1860's, after the railroad company was under different management, and as various persons presented old claims against the company, he was frequently consulted by the company's executives in regard to the transactions. On February 7, 1866, Ewing sent a list of persons having claims against the L. P. & W. to Thomas Scott, then the chief man in the enterprise. Because of the nature of the transactions, Ewing admitted that the men listed were not likely to go to court in an attempt to receive compensation. Ewing said he and other company officials had, however, pledged, that the company would act in good faith. In Ewing's opinion the new management was as strongly obligated as the old "to pay equitably for the service through which it became so richly endowed." [50]
By virtue of its aggressive lobbying effort the L. P. & W. was able to overcome strong opposition from Iowa railroad and political groups, and to preserve some of the advantages initially contained in the Campbell bill. However, the Iowa interests, led by Cong. James F. Wilson, were able to secure an amendment requiring the Union Pacific Company to construct the Iowa branch from western Iowa to connect with the main trunk someplace on or near the 102d meridian. This was an important change, as ft gave the Iowa branch a chance to become the main line. [51]
The L. P. & W. benefited from the fact that many members of congress were preoccupied with war measures and paid little attention to the details of the bill. Opposition to the claims of the L. P. & W. came mainly from a small group of eastern Republicans, who were pledged to support a Pacific railroad bill, but, as they expected little advantage to their region from the project, wanted to subsidize it as little as possible. They hoped to restrict aid to the section to be constructed through the Rocky mountains, with the Eastern branches being financed privately or by the states through which they passed. The Eastern group was understandably hostile to the L. P. & W., which had already asked the senate to approve three treaties providing it with aid in the form of cheap lands. Sen. Daniel Clark of New Hampshire wanted to eliminate all aid to the L. P. & W. "because it is a great scheme to get the Government's money and . . . land without any good." [52] In spite of the doubts and criticism expressed by a few members of each house, on May 6, 1862, the bill passed the house of representatives by a margin of 79 to 49, and the senate on June 20, 1862, with the vote 35 to 5. [53]
In its final form the Pacific Railway act of 1862 authorized the L. P. & W. to build from an eastern terminus below the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers to the designated starting point of the Union Pacific on the 100th meridian. The L. P. & W. was also allowed to construct a branch from Leavenworth to connect with the line running westward out of Kansas City. The L. P. & W. and the other railroad companies benefiting under the act were to be given federal subsidies of 10 sections of land per mile. Upon presidential approval of each 40-mile segment of the road, the companies would be eligible to receive loans of government bonds at the rate of $16,000 per mile in the plains area. The act anticipated an eventual unified system, and provided that all of the companies building branch lines could consolidate with the Union Pacific. [54]
The L. P. & W. did not get all that it sought. In its original bill the L. P. & W. would have located the eastern terminal of the Union Pacific. Obstacles were placed in the way of the Iowa companies which would have assured the L. P. & W. of becoming the main line. In the final bill, an eastern terminus for the Union Pacific was established and the Iowa branch had secured itself a better than even chance of becoming part of the main line. The original bill gave the L. P. & W. the freedom to choose whatever western route it desired, but in the final version the route west of Fort Riley had to receive Presidential approval. [55]
In spite of the L. P. & W.'s strenuous lobbying effort, and its striking success in the cases of the Indian treaties and the Pacific Railway act, the company failed to achieve its ambition of becoming the main trunk of the Union Pacific system. Much of the later failure of what became the Kansas Pacific railroad must be explained by the legacy of corruption, fraud, and chicanery involved in the company's meteoric rise to eminence, and in its sale and reorganization in 1863 as the Union Pacific, Eastern Division. The company was bedeviled by lawsuits, failed to meet its construction schedule, lost its Pottawatomie lands to the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad Company, and ultimately was superceded by its Iowa rival.
Although the promoters of the L. P. &W. signed a construction contract with the Montreal company of Ross and Steele in September, 1862, nothing was accomplished because of a lack of capital. [56] The promoters continued their efforts to interest Eastern capitalists in the project. On May 28, 1863, after months of negotiations, they finally sold a controlling portion of their stock to a group of Eastern investors headed by Samuel Hallett and John C. Fremont for a price of $200,000. Fremont was a famous Western adventurer, the Republican Presidential candidate in 1856, and at this time wealthy by virtue of the sale of real estate in California. Hallett, a young, dynamic, even overbearing New York investment banker, had acted as the financial agent for the Atlantic & Great Western Railway, a successful Eastern company and had extensive connections with Eastern and European capitalists. [57]
On May 28, 1863, Hallett and Fremont paid the L. P. & W. promoters $25,000 of the $200,000. The remainder was to be deposited in a trust account to be transferred to Ewing, Stone, McDowell, and Isaacs gradually as the terms of the sale were completed. The four men agreed, first, to change the name of the company to that of the "Union Pacific, Eastern Division," which was more indicative of the company's current status and more expressive of its aspirations. Second, they agreed to immediately form a new board, which would include Fremont as president and Hallett, Stone, McDowell among the directors. Third, the L. P. & W. promo promised to issue construction bonds and to execute a mortgage covering the company's franchise rights, fixtures rolling stock, and equipment. The mortgage was intended to secure the payment of construction bonds which were to be issued by the company in an amount equal to that which it was eligible to borrow from the government under the terms of the Pacific Railway act. This agreement led to much controversy later because the promoters had already executed a similar arrangement with the Ross and Steele Construction Company. The latter was not aware of the arrangements being made with Hallett and Fremont, and appears to have had, legally, a first lien on the L. P. & W.'s franchise and properties. The fourth, and final, step in the transfer process called for the old L. P. & W. men to resign, and a new board to be organized under the leadership of Fremont and Hallett. The promoters were satisfied with the terms of the sale, considering themselves "lucky to get out so well." [58]
Before purchasing the L. P. & W. Hallett and Fremont agreed that the latter would head the enterprise. This agreement was formalized in a contract dated July 13, 1863, in which Hallett agreed that Fremont should have 50,000 shares of stock. Hallett would possess all remaining stock, but for five years it would he held by Fremont as trustee, and voted by him. [59] However, the aggressive Hallett was not content to allow Fremont to dominate the company. He conspired with the L. P. & W. men in an attempt to oust Fremont. This and subsequent events kept the company in litigation for years.
The contract of May 28, 1863, stipulated that the final reorganization of the company was to occur upon Fremont's payment of the final balance ($96,000) due Ewing, Stone, Isaacs, and McDowell. On November 13, 1863, Fremont deposited this balance in a New York bank, and the trustee then sent the promoters a check for the full amount. The promoters hastily forwarded the check for collection because of "apprehension of trouble and to avoid it." [60] They did not act fast enough. The suspicious Fremont secured an injunction against Hallett and the L. P. & W. men, and blocked payment of the check. Asserting, with justice, that the L. P. & W.'s representatives refused to honor their contractual obligation to resign as directors of the U. P., E. D., Fremont complained that in all of the conflicts over policy between himself and Hallett they supported the latter. This isolated Fremont and allowed Hallett to operate the company. Fremont accused the secretary of the U. P., E. D., former L. P. & W. president McDowell, of failing to transfer Hallett's L. P. & W. stock to the trusteeship of Fremont as had been previously agreed. Fremont demanded the resignation of the L. P. & W. men, and repayment of his advances of cash. He contended, finally, that "Samuel Hallett & Co. . . . connive at the refusal or neglect of . . . Stone, McDowell, Isacks [sic] & Ewing to perform the . . . stipulation." [61] Ewing wanted to support Hallett in his controversy with Fremont, but felt financial, pressure which dictated a rapid settlement. He wrote:
My feelings and probable future interests pecuniary and political are with Hallett in his controversy with Fremont -- and I would prefer to have the old directory not resign and thus leave Hallett in control. . . . If we can get the funds without the resignations I hope it will be done. If not, the resignations must be made, of course. [62]
There was great pressure to make an accommodation with Fremont. The promoters did not have a good legal case, and were in desperate need of money. There was pressure upon Fremont also, however, as he had already advanced the group $104,000 which would be wasted unless he could regain control of the company. Fremont persistently attempted to gain the cooperation of Stone, Isaacs, and Ewing, as well as Ross and Steele, in his plan to reorganize the company to the exclusion of Hallett. Finally Fremont secured the resignations and released the money. Stone became a zealous supporter of Fremont, and an enemy of Hallett. In the spring of 1864 Fremont organized a board of directors which elected him as president, and asserted that it was the legal management of the U. P., E. D. The group was unable to dislodge the resourceful Hallett, although it did eventually win a lucrative settlement in a lawsuit against his heirs. [63]

On September 21, 2005, survived the emergency landing of JetBlue flight 292. He and other passengers learned of the airplane's malfunctioning landing gear by watching coverage of their plight on headrest-mounted TV sets.
I became an actor to do three things: ride a horse, shoot a gun and get killed...and I got to do all three in Die Mumie (1999). So I guess it's all downhill from here.

This historic building has stood atop Main Hill since the mid-1800s and has been home to some of the cityâs most influential residents and prominent organizations.

Thomas Ewing Sr., who served in the U.S. Senate and also as the Secretary of Treasury and the first Secretary of the Interior, bought and then sold the property five days later on Nov. 28, 1837, to Richard M. Ainsworth for $2,700. Ainsworth was one of the cityâs earliest and most prominent merchants, selling all kinds of dry goods.
Ainsworth built the original home on the property, where his family, including his daughter Juliet Ainsworth Kinkead, resided. The Ainsworth home is believed to be the north section of the original structure, prior to the Fairfield County Auditor's most recent expansion.

Richard M. Ainsworth died at the age of 51 while en route to New York for a business trip May 14, 1847. After his death, his estate was declared insolvent.
Ainsworth's obituary appeared in the Daily Gazette on May 21, 1847: "The deceased was one of our oldest and most respectable merchants. He was universally beloved and esteemed by all who knew him ..."
The property, which had been appraised at $4,000, was subsequently bought and sold multiple times after the Ainsworth ownership.

John S. Snider, known as "The Great Wine King," purchased the home from Philemon B. Ewing Feb. 10, 1859, living there with his wife and six children.
Snider wore many hats; he was a carpenter by trade, a winemaker, merchant, farmer and inventor. He obtained several patents, including ones for a seed planter, fencing posts and a sawmill head block.
Records show Snider also farmed the lot across the street prior to the construction of the county courthouse, which began in 1867. He leased the property from the county for $13.50 per year so he could have a garden. He also purchased 60 acres of land south of the city and started a vineyard.
In 1871, Snider sold this home and purchased another brick house on the southwest corner of High and Chestnut streets. To meet his wine-making needs, Snider constructed a large wine cellar that runs parallel to High Street, 26 feet below the house.

Lt. Col. Clemens F. Steele (son-in-law to Thomas Ewing Sr.) bought the property and more than doubled the original square-footage in 1873, adding beautiful woodwork, including the stairs and trim details in the structure's south section, which remain largely intact today.
The Semi-Weekly Gazette described Steele as a "most interesting character" who was a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars. He also sought a fortune in the California gold rush, which eventually led him to adventuring in South America.
Steele owned this home for six years before selling it for $12,000 John Gill, a wealthy Walnut Township farmer.
Gill subsequently sold this home to his son-in-law and daughter Charles and Adele Martin, who lived there for about 10 years before moving to a farm in Brice, Ohio. The Martins then rented the High Street home to the W. B. Maccracken family in 1893.

After renting the property from Charles and Adele Martin for about two years, Elizabeth Maccracken (the wife of William B. Maccracken) purchased the property for $7,500 on Feb. 5, 1895.
The Maccrackens had previously lived from 1886 to 1892 in a house built in 1832 for Williamâs grandfather. It is today the Georgian Museum, 105 E. Wheeling St.

Edith M. Hankes, niece of W.B. Maccracken, married William H. Vanderpoel at St. Johnâs Episcopal Church on June 18, 1901. The wedding reception was held at the Maccracken home at 108 N. High St.
"The spacious verandas were enclosed with white canvas and hung with Japanese lanterns. The halls, staircase and reception rooms were beautifully decorated with ferns, smilax and potted plants ...,"according to an account that appeared in the Gazette the following day.

Elizabeth Maccracken organized the first local gathering of the Elizabeth Sherman Reese Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in this home on April 23, 1900.
This home might have also been the location of Lancaster's first kindergarten classroom around 1900, according to the oral history of Mary Maccracken Donkle (Elizabeth Maccrackenâs daughter), who was a young girl at the time. She recalled the kindergarten teacher lived and taught in a back room on the homeâs High Street side. Donkle said the teacher would leave with a pony and cart to pick up children who did not live nearby.

The Maccrackens sold this home to Dr. George O. and Gabrielle Beery and her mother Mary Smith for $7,500 on July 1, 1901. They moved in two days later.
Dr. Beery, a practicing physician in Lancaster for 50 years, operated his office inside this home in addition to serving as a physician at the private Park Street Hospital. The private hospital operated from 1907 to 1915 and often served the more wealthy citizens.
Beery was a leader in the movement to build Lancasterâs first municipal hospital. He helped generate funds and awareness for what would become the $60,000, three-story Lancaster Municipal Hospital in 1916. Upon opening, the hospital on North Ewing Street had eight nurses, 36 beds and 10 bassinets.

The Beery's daughter, Marian, married John F. Furniss in this home on Nov. 16, 1926, with 150 guests in attendance for the ceremony and luncheon reception.
The Daily Eagle published full details of the wedding, including its decorations: "Ferns and palms were massed in the window while laurel sprays covered the archway." Throughout the house were orchids, laurel and yellow Buckingham pompoms and satin streamers on the mantles and stairway.
Marian Beery Fruniss was one of the founding members of the Fairfield County Heritage Association.

Dr. Beery died at 71 on Jan. 25, 1941, after a heart ailment and failing health for about a year. Gabrielle Beery sold this home to Phil R. Peters and Russell Rising on May 6, 1941.
By 1942, this home had been turned into a public building for the first time. The local Red Cross headquarters moved in and operated there for about a decade. During World War II the Red Cross helped the relief effort by sewing and knitting countless garments for soldiers and refugees, training nurses and raising thousands of dollars for the War Fund.
Coincidentally one of the original signers of the petition to organize the local Red Cross chapter was Elizabeth Mccracken, who resided in this home from 1893 to 1901.
Pictured: Red Cross volunteers fold surgical dressings at the 108 N. High St. headquarters in 1942. Photograph appeared in Lancaster Eagle-Gazette article "Red Cross Chapter here one of foremost in Ohio" on June 9, 1950.
ENLARGE IMAGE
The Peters and Risings sold the property in 1951 to Roi DeLancy, who rented the building as office and apartment space. One tenant was prominent physician Dr. John W. Edwards.
Edwards was a general practitioner in Lancaster for 15 years, opening his office on the first floor of the Beery House in 1954. Edwardsâ daughter Lise Ricketts remembers her father worked long hours, seeing patients at his office, making house calls, delivering babies and being on call at the emergency room. Edwards was also president of the Fairfield County Cancer Society.
Pictured: (left to right) Photograph of Dr. John W. Edwards; Newspaper clipping regarding the opening of Dr. Edwardsâ first practice at 108 N. High Street dated Nov. 8, 1954.
ENLARGE IMAGE
The 1960s marked the first of several decades that this building would be used for county and city business.
DeLancy sold the property in 1960 for $40,000 to the Fairfield County Commissioners, who had reported a need due to insufficient space in the courthouse. In 1961 the Fairfield County Welfare Department was the first county office to occupy the space.
Pictured: Newspaper clipping describing the Fairfield County Welfare Departmentâs role and increasing caseload in Lancaster Eagle-Gazette on July 12, 1962.

After the health department and board of education left the building, the Fairfield County Commissioners quickly found a new use for the space. In November 1986, the civil and fiscal services of the Fairfield County Sheriff moved to the first floor, and the detective bureau operated from the second floor.
ENLARGE IMAGE
The Fairfield County Auditor's Office began renovations of the 5,800 square-foot building after the county signed a $2.3 million construction contract that included a 2,300 square-foot expansion to the back of the structure.
The building was upgraded to meet the physical accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, including the addition of elevators and commercial restrooms. This has been the most significant upgrade for the building since the last major renovation in 1873.

American general (1826–1905)
Hugh Boyle Ewing (October 31, 1826 – June 30, 1905) was a diplomat, author, attorney, and Union Army general during the American Civil War. He was a member of the prestigious Ewing family, son of Thomas Ewing, the eldest brother of Thomas Ewing, Jr. and Charles Ewing, and the foster brother and brother-in-law of William T. Sherman. General Ewing was an ambitious, literate, and erudite officer who held a strong sense of responsibility for the men under his command.[1] He combined his West Point experience with the Civil War system of officer election.[1]
Ewing's wartime service was characterized by several incidents which would have a unique impact on history. In 1861, his political connections helped save the reputation of his brother-in-law, William T. Sherman, who went on to become one of the north's most successful generals.[2] Ewing himself went on to become Sherman's most trusted subordinate. His campaigning eventually led to the near-banishment of Lorenzo Thomas, a high-ranking regular army officer who had intrigued against Sherman.[2] He was present at the Battle of Antietam, where his brigade saved the flank of the Union Army late in the day.[3] During the Vicksburg campaign, Ewing accidentally came across personal correspondence from Confederate President Jefferson F. Davis to former President Franklin Pierce which eventually ruined the reputation of the latter.[4][5][6] Ewing was also present in Kentucky during Major General Stephen G. Burbridge's "reign of terror", where he worked to oppose Burbridge's harsh policies against civilians, but was hampered by debilitating rheumatism.[7] He ended the war with an independent command, a sign he held the confidence of his superiors, acting in concert with Sherman to trap Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston in North Carolina.[8]
After the war, Ewing spent time as Ambassador to the Netherlands and became a noted author. He died in 1905 on his family farm.
Early life and career
[edit]
Hugh Ewing was born in Lancaster, Ohio. He was educated at the United States Military Academy at West Point, but was forced to resign on the eve of graduation after failing an engineering exam, which was a major embarrassment to his family.[9] While a member of the cadet corps, he was close friends with future Union generals John Buford Jr., Nathaniel C. McLean, and John C. Tidball.[10] His father appointed Philip Sheridan to the open seat.[11]
During the gold rush in 1849, Ewing went to California, where he joined an expedition ordered by his father, then Secretary of the Interior, to rescue immigrants who were trapped in the Sierra by heavy snows.[12] He returned in 1852 with dispatches for the government.[7]
He then completed his course in law and settled in St. Louis. He practiced law there from 1854 to 1856, when he moved with his young brother, Thomas Jr., and brothers-in-law William T. Sherman and Hampden B. Denman to Leavenworth, Kansas, and began speculating in lands, roads, and government housing.[9] They quickly established one of the leading law firms of Leavenworth, as well as a financially powerful land agency.[13]
In 1858, Ewing married Henrietta Young, daughter of George W. Young, a large planter of the District of Columbia, whose family was prominent in the settlement and history of Maryland.[9] He soon afterward took charge of his father's salt works in Ohio.[12]
Civil War
[edit]
In April 1861, Governor William Dennison appointed Ewing as the brigade-inspector of Ohio volunteers. He served under Rosecrans and McClellan in western Virginia.[12] Ewing became colonel of the 30th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in August 1861.[9]
In November 1861, when his brother-in-law William T. Sherman was relieved of his command in disgrace, Ewing aided his younger sister Ellen Ewing Sherman in making the rounds of Washington D.C., denying sensationalist media claims that Sherman was insane, and personally lobbying the President for Sherman's reinstatement.[2] Ewing and his sister argued that Sherman's requests for men and material in Kentucky had been denied in Washington, and that the charges of insanity had been part of a conspiracy orchestrated by Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas.[2] Eventually the political influence of the Ewing family persevered, and with the assistance of Henry Halleck, Sherman was returned to command.[7] President Abraham Lincoln praised Sherman's "talent & conduct" publicly to a large group of important officers, and later banished Thomas to a meaningless post on recruiting duty in the Trans-Mississippi Theater.[2]
Under McClellan, Ewing commanded a regiment and then a brigade in the Kanawha Division in the IX Corps.[7] In the Battle of South Mountain, he led the assault which drove the enemy from the summit; and at midnight of that day, he received an order placing him in command of the brigade of Colonel Eliakim P. Scammon, who was in temporary command of the Kanawha division after its commander Major General Jacob D. Cox had been elevated to command of the IX Corps, replacing the fallen Major General Jesse Lee Reno who was killed earlier that day.[9] At Antietam his brigade was placed upon the extreme left of the army, where, according to the report of the commander of the left wing, General Ambrose Burnside, "by a brilliant change of front he saved the left from being completely driven in."[3]
After Antietam, Ewing was placed on sick leave because of chronic dysentery,[14] and was promoted to Brigadier General on November 29, 1862. He transferred West and served throughout the campaign before Vicksburg, leading the assaults made by General Sherman; and upon its fall was placed in command of a division in the XVI Corps.[9] At Chattanooga, he was given command of the 4th Division of the XV Corps, which formed the advance of Sherman's army and carried Missionary Ridge.[8] Prior to the Battle of Chattanooga, Ewing's command led a diversionary raid that resulted in the destruction of the Empire State Iron Works in Dade County, Georgia, which was being refurbished to increase the South's manufacturing capability.[15] Sherman considered Ewing his most reliable division commander.[8]
In the aftermath of Vicksburg, Ewing's command wrecked Confederate President Jefferson Davis's Fleetwood Plantation, and Ewing turned over Davis' personal correspondence to his brother-in-law, Sherman.[4] However, Ewing also sent copies of the letters to a few people he had known in Ohio, which, after the documents were published, permanently sullied the reputation of former President Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire.[4] Their release coincided with that of Pierce's book, Our Old Home. As early as 1860, Pierce had written to Davis about "the madness of northern abolitionism", and other letters uncovered stated that he would "never justify, sustain, or in any way or to any extent uphold this cruel, heartless, aimless unnecessary war", and that "the true purpose of the war was to wipe out the states and destroy property."[4]
In October 1863, Ewing was placed in command of the occupation forces in Louisville, Kentucky.[9] He was unfortunate enough to serve during Maj. Gen. Stephen Gano Burbridge's "reign of terror," where martial law was declared several times.[16] On August 11, 1864, Burbridge ordered soldiers from the 26th Kentucky to select four men to be taken from prison in Louisville to Eminence, Kentucky, to be shot for unknown outrages, and on August 20, several suspected Confederate guerrillas were also to be taken from Louisville and executed. General Ewing declared their innocence and sought a pardon from Burbridge, but he refused to give the pardon and the men were shot.[17]
In his autobiography, Ewing describes an incident in October 1862 with Colonel Augustus Moor, who had struck a member of Ewing's regiment with his sword when the enlisted soldier had fallen out of a march. Ewing immediately confronted Moor. In his own words:
He was at the table with his Staff and Colonels, drinking Ohio wine from long-necked bottles, and smoking, and presented quite an old-time German scene. I Told him I would not tolerate the German custom of treating common soldiers, if applied to my men, by any officer. I preserved discipline by taking care of my troops, collectively and individually.
— Hugh Boyle Ewing[18]
Colonel Moor quickly apologized. While General Ewing respected the discipline of the German regiment, he preferred a different atmosphere in his own command, better suited to Americans. He was capable of recognizing the military tradition of other units while accommodating the unique needs of his own.[19] General Ewing was ordered to North Carolina in 1865, and was planning an expedition up the Roanoke river to co-operate with the Army of the James, when Lee surrendered.[12]
In 1864, Ewing suffered an attack of rheumatism, and received treatment several times thereafter, often being confined to his chair.[7] He was likely prostrated with illness as Commander of Louisville during Burbridge's madness in Kentucky.[12] He was made a brevet major general on March 13, 1865. After leaving the Army, he experienced painful attacks for the rest of his life, often bedridden for periods of up to forty days.[14]
Postbellum career
[edit]
President Andrew Johnson appointed Ewing as U.S. Minister to Holland, where he served from 1866 to 1870.[7] This appointment may have drawn the ire of the Radical Republicans, for Speaker of the House James G. Blaine urged President Ulysses S. Grant that Ewing be recalled and replaced with his brother, Charles Ewing. Blaine told the President that Hugh was 'acting badly'.[20] Blaine himself was disingenuous, having represented to prominent politicians in Ohio including Senator John Sherman that he was doing everything possible to nominate his close personal friend, former Ohio General Roeliff Brinkerhoff, for the post.[21] Nonetheless, Blaine's request to recall General Ewing was never acted upon, possibly due to the influence of his sister, whose husband General Sherman was a very close friend to President Grant.[22] Ewing was related to Blaine through Blaine's mother Maria Louise Gillespie Blaine.
Upon his eventual return to the United States, Ewing retired to a farm near Lancaster, Ohio, where he died of old age.[14]
He was the author of: The Black List; A Tale of Early California (1887); A Castle in the Air (1887); The Gold Plague, and other works.[7]

President Taylor's death brought Millard Fillmore to the Presidency and Thomas Corwin (1794 - 1865) to the Office of Secretary of the Treasury. Corwin had established himself as "the most captivating and effective political orator the country had ever produced" during his years as a Whig senator from Ohio (1845 - 1850). Like his immediate predecessor, William M. Meredith, Corwin believed in a protective tariff, but he did not want to make sudden or drastic changes in the free-trade tariff law of 1846. Sec.

Forgive, but Never Forget.
The 160th anniversary of Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence is just days away. On August 21, 1863, at 5 a.m, a heavily armed group of 300 to 400 Missouri guerrillas led by Captain William Clark Quantrill stormed three adjacent downtown Lawrence streets in a rampage of murder, looting, and arson.
When the raiders left about 9 a.m., 150 to 200 men and boys had been murdered, 125 structures burned; only two buildings in the business district were left standing. The damage estimate was $2 million.
Robert “Robbie” Speer was among the victims. He had spent the previous night in his father’s newspaper office where he would occasionally sleep on hot summer nights. The office was torched, with Speer’s body never recovered. He was murdered on the morning of his 18th birthday, according to Tim Rues, curatator of Constitution Hall in Lecompton, Kansas.
In my 36 years living in Lawrence, I became well aware of the atrocity, known here as “The Lawrence Massacre.” It remains the most infamous action of the entire span of an 11-year border conflict from 1854 to 1865. There could be no military action by Kansas Jayhawkers or the Union regular army against Missouri non-combatants that could compare to Quantrill’s senseless massacre. Of this, I was certain. Until recently….
According to many historians, Quantrill attacked Lawrence with a kill list. High on that list was James Lane. He was the most reviled abolitionist among all Kansas Jayhawkers, at the time a U.S. Senator and former commander of the Lane Brigade.
But “Lawrence wasn’t sacked because of Lane,” insists military historian Bryce Benedict, author of Jayhawkers: The Civil War Brigade of James Henry Lane, a detailed account of Lane’s unit. “It was sacked as punishment for the very idea that slavery should have no existence in this country. What the Lane Brigade did that was probably most offensive to the guerrillas was having freed hundreds of slaves, many of whom made their way to Lawrence.”
According to available census data, there were 5,500 enslaved people in Missouri’s three county area of Jackson, Bates, and Cass counties in 1860. But the numbers of enslaved people who either freed themselves or were liberated by Kansas Jayhawkers or federal troops wasn’t what most angered Missouri’s pro-slavers. Slavery was legal in Missouri and their enslaved property was illegally taken from them. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if the slaves moved to a free state. “Who was arresting these Kansas lawbreakers?” they were asking.
There are other perspectives. Missouri historian Tom Rafiner believes Quantrill’s Raid was an act of retribution. “Lane’s Kansas Brigade were all radical abolitionists whose agenda extended far beyond the normal dictates of military policy…A number of Missouri towns and villages were completely destroyed before August 1863: West Point, Butler, Parkersville, Morristown, Papinsville, Mt. Pleasant, Sibley and Dayton.”
Rafiner is author of Cinders and Silence, a 2013 account of the conflict on the border. “The accumulating destruction of Missouri communities, tied to the thieving and burning of family homes between 1861 and August 1863 led to a feeling expressed by one of Quantrill’s men ‘that we could stand no more.’’’
On a short trip over the border to visit the Bushwhacker Museum in Nevada, I was reminded that Missouri never joined the Confederacy. Yet, at the dawn of the Civil War in April 1861, over 140,000 Missourians joined one side or another. The pro-slavery men could join the Confederate States Army, the Missouri State Guard, or guerrilla groups, called “Bushwhackers,” like Quantrill’s Raiders. Anti-slavery Missourians enlisted in Union army, affiliated Jayhawker units, or local Union Militia like the Cass County Home Guard. It was nearly impossible to live on the border and remain neutral. Theft, arson, and assassinations were commonplace. “Western Missouri was unlike any other Civil War theatre of operations,” Rafiner writes.
Then, I learned about General Order № 11, an edict that few who are not Civil War historians are familiar with. Just four days after Quantrill’s raiders vanished into the forests and ravines of rural western Missouri, Union Brigadier-General Thomas Ewing ordered the following: “All persons living in Jackson, Cass, and Bates Counties, Missouri…are hereby ordered to remove from their present places of residence within fifteen days from the date hereof.” The formal order included residents of the northern section of Vernon County but excluded residents who could prove their Union loyalty, living within one mile of the city limits of several communities in these counties.
It was not an organized evacuation. “The refugees, mostly women, children and the aged, left burning homes and entered a living hell,” writes Rafiner. Twenty-five thousand Americans were driven from their land of 2,200 square miles in the middle of summer, most of their usable wagons and horses had already been confiscated.
Historian Albert Castel, wrote “in considering the harsh treatment of civilians in American history, the order ranks second only to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.”
A correspondent for the Olathe Mirror wrote, “scarcely anything marks the ‘ancient habitations’ of man except for the long and blackened chimneys of former buildings.” In quick order the area became known as “The Burnt District.”
Missouri artist and Union officer at the time, George Caleb Bingham, tagged Ewing’s edict “a crime against humanity.” A replica of his painting “Order №11 ” is hanging in Kirk Hall in the Kansas City Central Library.
What happened to the enslaved population of the Burnt District? Rafiner is now searching through the scarce records of the 5,500 enslaved people in the Burnt District, hoping to eventually tell their stories.
Meanwhile, is it necessary, or even possible, to make moral judgments over which action, Quantrill’s Raid or General Order № 11, was more evil? At the close of any Civil War who determines which side suffered more?
On April 26, 2009, the Burnt District Monument was dedicated west of Harrisonville, Missouri. Carol Bohl, then executive director of the Cass County Historical Society said, “When we come to this place, let us listen with respect to the stories of both Missourian and Kansan. Bushwhacker and Jayhawker. Union and Confederate.”
On August 21, Lawrence will mourn the victims of Quantrill’s Massacre, murdered on its streets. Four days later, the people of Jackson, Cass, Bates, and Vernon counties will memorialize the victims of a questionable Federal Order and that legacy 160 years later.
I can’t speak for the descendants of the the enslaved Blacks of Missouri, or victims on either side of the border. But I am determined to make space for all perspectives. To forgive, but never to forget. With an apology for long-neglecting stories from the other side of the border.

The Children of Samuel Ewing & Margaret (our ancestors)
I have to thank Jim McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America, for his help with this line of our family~ !
GEORGE EWING, was born about 1728/1729 in Cecil County, MD; he died about 1803 in Wythe County, Virginia. George went with his father to Prince Edward County, Virginia where he married Eleanor Caldwell. Following the death of his mother in 1770, he moved to Montgomery County, Virginia, settling on Cripple Creek. George was our direct ancestor.
He served in the militia at Guilford Court house during the Revolution. Birth and death dates for George's children come from, "Maury County Cousins - Bible and Family Records", p. 640.
Notes of Jim McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America:: 1753, 2 January, Amelia Co., VA Deed Book 5 page 36 : "Between Edward Brathwet [Brathwaite] and Bridgett his wife of one part and George Ewing 'Jr' of the other part for £20 did grant to the said George Ewing, 'Jr.' 9 acres of land situate in the Fork of Fort Creek bounded by the lines of Samuel Wallace, Robert Gillespie and Samuel Ewing." Witnesses were Hugh Challis, Samuel Ewing and Samuel Wallace. "at a court for Amelia Co., Va. 24 May 1753 this deed from Brathwet (sic) with Survey and endorsed thereon to George Ewing, Jr. was presented and proved by oaths of Hugh Challis, Samuel Ewing, and Samuel Wallace as witnesses-recorded by Samuel Cobb." (George Ewing, Jr. proves to be a son, eldest, of Samuel Ewing, and a nephew to George Ewing, Sr. "Jr." was over 21 in 1753 so born ca 1728-31.)
Mary Faggot, born about 1720, was living in Prince Edward County in May 1757 when the court ordered George Ewing, Sr., to appear in court to prove that he was holding (her son) Jethro Faggott, a "Molatto boy," under legal indentures. In October 1757 the court ruled that the indentures were not legal and ordered Mary to pay her witness Charles Irby 103 pounds of tobacco for testifying for her and travelling twenty-six miles from his home (in Amelia County). The court also ordered the churchwardens of St. Patrick's Parish to bind Jethro to Ewing on condition that he post a bond of 300 pounds currency not to remove him out of the colony [Orders 1754-8, 112, 127, 129]. Mary may have been identical to Mary Taggat, a white woman, whose "Molatto" son Peter was bound out by the churchwardens of Lunenburg County to Hugh Lawson on 9 July 1752 [Lunenburg County Orders 1752-3, 69].
The Will of George Ewing was located in the State Library and Archives Nashville, TN, Manuscript Division. It is dated 1 May 1803 and he is âof Wythe County state of Virginiaâ. Briefly it reads:
To beloved wife, Elenor during her natural life to live on land I now live with my son, James Ewing, and enjoy in common with James (other bequests to James) At the decease of my wife four negroes equally divided between my four sons: Samuel Ewing, John Ewing, George Ewing and James Ewing. Unto my daughter Elenor bequest. To George all part of my land lying on North Side of Cripple Creek whereon he now lives to be divided from my other land by a line, Cripple Creek being line and James all land on South side. Other bequests to Samuel, daughter Mary Ewing ten dollars and no more, to Margaret Purdom bequests. Order my still to be sold. Land in âKaintoukeyâ if discovered and obtained to be sold. To daughter Anne Cozbie ... Four sons to be executors. Signed Geo. Ewing [SEAL] witnesses were impossible to read!
The Will of George Ewing (above) dated 1 May 1803 is said to be recorded in Wythe Co., VA Records, Book Volume not given - page 284 - but unobtainable there. A Deed in Wythe Co. Deed Book #4 page 460, 1807 tells George Ewing died prior to 1807, it reads:
âSamuel Ewing laid off 325 acres on Cripple Creek in Wythe Co., Va. to George Ewing, agreeable to the last will and testament of his father, George Ewing, and 663 acres laid off to James Ewing adjoining his brother, George Ewing.â [Note: Samuel Ewing the eldest of George Ewing had already moved to Georgia. He and his brother, John Ewing, had already been given 225 acres each by their father in 1785 and 1786.]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexander Ewing(son of Samuel & Margaret) was born 1724/1733 in Cecil Co., MD; Note that Jim has a death date for Alexander of 16 October 1789 in Greene County, TN.
Notes of James R. McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America: He married ca 1755/7 Rachel-Margaret Ewing, a daughter of Nathaniel and Rachel (Porter) Ewing of Cecil Co., MD. She is listed in I.G.I. as having been "baptised in 1734 in St. Anne's Parish, Cecil Co., MD child of Nathaniel and Rachel Ewing." In the Administration of the Estate of Nathaniel Ewing in 1750 "Rachel M(argaret) was about 15 years old." "Rachel Ewing died in Blount Co., TN 16 July 1823 at age 89." This is from a family Bible kept by George Ewing, her 2nd son, and was a part of his Pension Application.
"EWING In Early American Life," Alexander Ewing proves to be the second son of Samuel. ⢠1771, 19 October - Prince Edward Co., VA. Deed Book p127: âAlexander Ewing and wife, Rachel Ewing of Botetourt Co., Va. sell to Robert Powell 232 acres of land lying between Fort and Falling Creek by Samuel Wallaceâs line and Pugh Priceâs line.â
They have already moved to Botetourt Co., VA from which in 1772 FINCASTLE CO VA. was created and discontinued in 1777. From FINCASTLE, BOTETOURT and PULASKI COUNTIES, VA the county of MONTGOMERY VA was created 1776-77. WYTHE CO. VA was created 1789 from MONTGOMERY CO. VA and it is here we find George Ewing and Eleanor as well as children of Alexander Ewing died 1738 Cecil Co., MD.
Alexander Ewing, second son of Samuel Ewing died 1758 had already moved to Botetourt Co., Va. prior to 19 Oct 1771 (see page 216). We have been unable to acquire copies of Deeds to land he bought there. There is a record attached to the 14 April 1770 Deed 3 page 448 in Prince Edward Co., VA. dated 2 August 1770 reads:
âBotetourt County Va. to wit ... In obedience to the within Commission to us directed, we did go to the said Rachel Ewing, wife of Alexander Ewing and did examine her privily ... touching her relinquishment of her right of dower in 395 acres conveyed to John and Abraham Thompson, which she declared she was willing to do ... Certified under our hands and seals this second day of August, 1770.â Signed John Montgomery and William Herbert.
When Alexander Ewing Sr. and Rachel-Margaret moved to Greene Co., TN, we are not sure. It was there he wrote his will. Prior to that we find him in Montgomery Co., VA. According to Thwaites and Kellogâs Lord Dunmoreâs War of 1774 there is an Alexander, Sr. who enlisted in Capt. Robert Doaks Co. of Militia on June 2, 1774. The Alexander âJr.â who enlisted in the same company in Montgomery Co., VA. is the son of John Ewing the second son of Alexander and Rebeckah Ewing of Cecil Co., MD. Dr. John Connolly was sent by Lord Dunmore to Virginia to enlist aid to enforce the claims of Virginia in the controversy between Maryland and Virginia/Pennsylvania. Dr. Connolly was a half-brother to General James Ewing son of Thomas Ewing and Susanna (Howard) Patterson Ewing Connolly. Thomas Ewing was a brother to MY ANCESTOR, William Ewing.
WILL OF ALEXANDER EWING:
The book by M. and V. Brown Ewing-McCulloch-Buchanan Genealogy page 53 states that Alexander Ewing died in Blount Co., TN in 1828 but that statement is incorrect. His Will was located in Greene Co., TN in Will Book 1 page 7. It was written 16 October 1789 and âproven and recorded ___?___ 1789.â It was indexed under Erwin but clearly EWING in the will and in his signature. [Anne Kimball provided me with an abstract of his will, recognizing the name of his wife and those of his children. Bill Miner obtained a copy of the original and shared with me.] It reads, briefly:
âI Allaxander Ewing of Greene Co., TN being sick and weak of body ... give and bequeath ... in the following manner. To Rachal, my dearly beloved wife, the two negroes now in my possession as long as she remains in widowhood ... and allowing her a childâs part of the other cattle, etc ... I give to my well beloved son, Samuel, one £15 horse. I also leave to George, my second son a £15 horse. I leave to my third son, James, a bay colt four years old. I leave unto my son, William, one young mear (sic) three years. I also leave to my son John, one young mear three years old the ensuing spring ... to my son, Nathaniel, a young 3-year colt ... Rest to be divided equally only Samuel and George no more than what is mentioned ... Land I now live on to William and John, my sons, and a Plantation in the cove to Nathaniel. William and John to pay each to Nathaniel the sum of £20 each in good property. My daughter, Rachel, a mare ... to Margaret, daughter, a mear, feather bed and furniture ... daughter Rachel, the same....â

American politician
For other uses, see Thomas Ewing (disambiguation).
Thomas Ewing Sr. (December 28, 1789 – October 26, 1871) was a National Republican and Whig politician from Ohio. He served in the U.S. Senate as well as serving as the fourteenth secretary of the treasury and the first secretary of the interior. He is also known as the foster father (and subsequently father-in-law) of famous American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman.
Born in West Liberty, Ohio County, Virginia (now West Virginia), he was the son of American Revolutionary War veteran George Ewing. After studying at Ohio University and reading law under Philemon Beecher, Ewing began practicing law in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1816. In 1824, he was joined in that practice by Henry Stanbery.
As a colorful country lawyer, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1830 as a Whig and served a single term. He was unsuccessful in seeking a second term in 1836. Ewing served as Secretary of the Treasury in 1841, serving under Presidents William Henry Harrison and John Tyler. He resigned on September 11, 1841, along with the entire cabinet (except Secretary of State Daniel Webster), in protest of Tyler's veto of the Banking Act.
Ewing was later appointed to serve as the first Secretary of the Interior by President Zachary Taylor. Ewing served in the position from March 8, 1849 to July 22, 1850 under Taylor and Millard Fillmore. As James G. Blaine later wrote:
Thomas Ewing of Ohio, selected to organize the Department of the Interior, just then authorized by law, was a man of intellectual power, a lawyer of the first rank, possessing a stainless character, great moral courage, unbending will, an incisive style, both with tongue and pen, and a breadth of reading and wealth of information never surpassed by any public man in America.[1]
As first secretary, Ewing consolidated bureaus from various Departments, such as the Land Office from the Treasury Department and the Indian Bureau from the War Department. The bureaus were being kicked out of their offices as unwanted tenants in their former departments. However, the Interior Department had no office space, so Ewing rented space. Later, the Patent Office building, with a new east wing, provided permanent space in 1852. Ewing initiated the Interior Department's culture of corruption by wholesale replacement of officials with political patronage. Newspapers called him "Butcher Ewing" for his efforts.
In 1850, Ewing was appointed to the Senate to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Thomas Corwin, and served from July 20, 1850 – March 3, 1851. Ewing was unsuccessful in seeking re-election in 1850. In 1861, Ewing served as one of Ohio's delegates to the peace conference held in Washington in hopes of staving off civil war. Ewing was a defendant of slavery at this conference, and frequently deflected attacks on the institution by Britain, stating that 'we have no slavery or misery to be compared with that existing in the India provinces.'[2] After the war, Ewing was appointed by President Andrew Johnson to a third cabinet post as Secretary of War in 1868 following the firing of Edwin M. Stanton but the Senate, still outraged at Johnson's firing of Stanton – which had provoked Johnson's impeachment – refused to act on the nomination.
Ewing married Maria Wills Boyle, a Roman Catholic, and raised their children in her faith. His foster son was the famous general William Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman eventually married Thomas Ewing Sr.'s daughter, Ellen Ewing Sherman. Ewing's namesake son, Thomas Ewing Jr., was an American Civil War Union army general and two-term U.S. Congressman from Ohio. Two of Ewing's other sons – Hugh Boyle Ewing and Charles Ewing – also became generals in the Union army during the Civil War. Through Ellen and Sherman, Ewing also had a namesake grandson, Thomas Ewing Sherman.
Ewing was born a Presbyterian, but for many years attended Catholic services with his family. He was formally baptized into the Catholic faith during his last illness.[3]
Ewing remained a Whig following his joining of the party in 1833, even when the national Whig Party collapsed and was replaced by the Republican Party. This makes Ewing one of the only federal politicians to remain a member the Whig Party when many others bolted to the Republican or American parties.
Prior to his death on October 26, 1871, Ewing had been the last surviving member of the Harrison and Tyler Cabinets. Future President and Governor of Ohio Rutherford B. Hayes was a pallbearer at his funeral. He is buried in Saint Mary Cemetery, Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio.

George Caleb Bingham
George Caleb Bingham, famous 19th century American artist and Missouri politician, was one of the home’s most distinguished residents. He and his family moved to the estate shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Bingham maintained a studio at his residence in Independence, a log-and-clapboard building to the northwest of his home. (Thought to be one of the first buildings built by earlier owners.) Bingham used this building as his studio. It was in this studio, Order Number 11 was painted.
The military proclamation officially known as Order Number 11 was issued in Kansas City, Mo. In August 1863, Brig. Gen. Thomas Ewing, Jr. commander of the District of the Border required all persons living in Jackson, Cass, Bates and Vernon counties, excepting only those residing in certain areas near large towns, to leave their homes within fifteen days. The violence manifested itself chiefly in border raids by "Red Legs" and "Jayhawkers" who consistently plundered and committed violent aggressions on Missouri towns. The military order issued by Ewing was intended as a retaliatory measure after a particularly bloody raid was made from the Missouri side by guerrilla William Quantrill and his band on the town of Lawrence, Kansas. Bingham strenuously resented the order and appealed personally to Ewing’s superior officer, Gen John M. Schofield, to have it rescinded, but to no avail. When he was told the order would have to stand, he reportedly warned Schofield, "If God spares my life, with pen and pencil, I will make this order infamous in history." The painting Martial Law, or The War of Desolation, better known as Order Number 11 was the result. There are two versions of the picture. In 1868, he made arrangements with John Sartain of Philadelphia to have "Martial Law" reproduced as an engraving. Upon publication, the engraving caused much furor and was denounced from the pulpit as being too sympathetic to the Confederacy and its cause. In March 1870, Bingham finished his second version of Order Number 11. The second, painted in the spring of 1870 shows minor changes in details and pose and costume. The second version is better known since it was the one used by Sartain to produce the large engraving commissioned by Bingham. It soon became one of the most publicized pictures of the day.
During this period, Bingham also was politically active. In 1868, he became a candidate for Congress from the Sixth Missouri District. He was defeated at the nominating convention.
Bingham sold his home in Independence to Mr. Francis Eames in 1870 and moved to Kansas City. Bingham would fondly remember his home of five years, returning in 1874 to a Fourth of July celebration to deliver a speech about the importance of the day and its relationship to the City of Independence and its citizens.
In Kansas City, Bingham served as Police Commissioner. He then served as Adjutant General of Missouri and investigated the bombing of the James home at Kearney, Missouri, by Pinkerton agents. He later was appointed as the first professor of art at the newly established University of Missouri, an institution championed by his old friend James S. Rollins. Mental incapacity claimed his second wife Eliza, and her condition required her confinement at the state asylum at Fulton, Missouri, where she died on November 3, 1876. Bingham married for the third time, one year before his death. His bride was Mrs. Johnston Lykins, widow of a former mayor of Kansas City and rabid confederate supporter, who established a home for Confederate war widows and orphans, the Lykins Institute, in Kansas City. It was here with Mattle Lykins that Bingham made his home in 1877, and it was here that he died on July 7, 1879, from what papers of the day termed "choleramorbus".
The Waggoners
The Waggoners were early millers in Perry and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania. In 1865, Peter Waggoner, Sr. sent his son William to Independence to look over business opportunities. William liked the prospects, and in 1867 the family purchased the "old City mill" from John Overfelt. The family business developed a reputation for producing the very best in baking and cake flours, and "Queen of the Pantry" flours became known all over the middle west.
Reflecting their improved economic condition, the Waggoner's new home across the street from their rapidly growing flour mill immediately began to be adjusted to fit the needs and expectations of its owners. During the 1890's, extensive renovation was done to the home when William Henry, Jr. and his wife moved into the home. They contracted the architectural firm of Root and Siemens, with Mr. Henry Ohaus in charge of interior decoration.

GM – LIF – Today’s American Champion will always be close to my heart. While teaching U.S. History at Ewing High School (suburb of Trenton, NJ). I reached out to our late U.S. Congressman Donald Payne to see if we could use today’s honoree as a platform for my monthly award to support students with public speaking and community exposure. The U.S. Congressional Black Caucus allowed me and my students from Trenton Central HS, Peddie HS, Cathedral HS, Princeton Day School and Ewing HS to have one year to go around and give recipients who the students felt had the same values as the late congressman. The students traveled to Chicago, IL. NYC, The UN, Toronto, Canada, Atlanta, GA, Washington D.C. and of course to Houston, TX to work on a joint program with the students of Phillis Wheatley HS to meet with the late Congressman’s family. It was an experience that the students could not get in the classroom. My thanks always to NJ’s first Black congressman to Washington – Donald Payne.
George Thomas Mickey Leland, III was born in Lubbock, Texas on November 27, 1944, to Alice and George Thomas Leland, Jr. Mickey Leland and his family soon moved to Houston’s Fifth Ward where he attended Phillis Wheatley High School and later Texas Southern University where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy in 1970. While at TSU, he became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Leland was inspired by political activists on both sides of the Atlantic. The writings and ideas of Amiri Baraka, Malcolm X and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere were among the influences on his early life.
By 1970 Leland had become a political activist, and two years later at the age of 28 he was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat. While in the legislature he, in his words “led the fight for the rights of the little man.” Leland served in the legislature until November 1978 when he was elected to fill the Houston area seat of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan who chose not to seek reelection. Leland’s leadership potential was immediately noted by Congressional Democrats and he was soon appointed Freshman Majority Whip. Later, he served twice as an At-Large Majority Whip and on two Congressional Committees, Interstate and Foreign Commerce (1978) and Energy and Commerce (1984). In 1985-1986 Congressman Leland was Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Although he was noted in the national African American community for his fight for rights for black people, he gained worldwide attention in his campaign against hunger when he in 1984 joined the U.S. Select Committee on Hunger. Leland died in a 1989 airplane crash in Gambela, Ethiopia while on a mission for that cause. To commemorate his life, the Federal Building at 1919 Smith Street in Houston, Texas was named in his honor on October 30, 1989. The International Terminal at George Bush Airport in Houston was also named in his honor. Research more about this great American Champion and share it with your babies. Make it a champion day!

“Genl Scott is in bad humor with the administration for appointing Reeder Brig Genl in regular army … We have the idea he will not favor Cump’s appt, except as Colonel…”
Ewing informs his father of political machinations in Washington and early Civil War plans and appointments. He painstakingly weighs the chances of his foster brother (and brother-in-law), William T. “Cump” Sherman, obtaining a general’s commission. He also offers a sober analysis of the relative strengths of the Union and Confederate armies in the Eastern theater. “The general impression is the first battle, after Pickens, will be at Norfolk. The Govt. is not ready. Genl Scott says Genl Impatience is the only opposing General he fears. At present, it is plain the enemy can put man for man in the field anywhere in eastern Virginia with us.”
THOMAS EWING, JR. Autograph Letter Signed, to Thomas Ewing, his father. Washington, May 22, 1861. Written in pencil. 6 pp., 4⅞ x 7¾ in.

Complete Transcript
Washington May 22d 1861
Dear Father
I have been laid up for several days with a swollen knee joint (sub acute sinovetis) – My 15 nights campaigning resulted in a severe cold of which this attack is the climax. I shall probably have to keep to the house for a week before my knee is fully well – absolute rest of the joint being necessary to speedy cure. I have taken to bed, though as well in all other respects as ever.
I thought Cump would advise you as to the movements here in his behalf & their probable result. As I have written him requesting [2] and supposed you were there until I got a letter from there a few days ago.
I have been, either with John or Charles Thomson, at different times, the President & pretty near all the Cabinet & Genl. Scott. The question as to his appointment to place of Brig Genl or that of Qr Master Genl. (both of equal grade) in the regular army has been before the Cabinet twice & was yesterday refused to Genl Scott & the Secy of War, & will be by them determined very soon – probably in a day or two.
Genl. Scott is in very bad humor with the Administration [3] for appointing Reeder Brig Genl in regular army: & for neglecting to consult him in other matters. We all have the idea that he will not favor Cumps appt., except as Colonel, for which he has him down on his roll of proposed recommendations: & that he wants Anderson for Brig Genl All the principal officers here, save Genl Scott, are heartily for Cump for Brig Genl or Qr Mr Genl – The old Genl however always speaks of him in the highest terms of praise-
I am sorry to say there is a doubt with some of the Cabinet whether Cump sufficiently sympathizes with the Gov. to make his appt. [4] to so high a place as Brig Genl exactly right– his declination of the place of chief clerk of War Dept to be billowed by plea of apt Secy, so handsomely & so warmly urged on him by the President & Cabinet, hurt his standing – Blair spoke of it in Cabinet with considerable feeling. One thing is certain – Cump will either be Brig or Qr Master Genl – or be Colonel of a 2200 Regt – I will advise you at once when the matter is settled-
My affair has been dragging through, slowly, being to stand examination in all its shapes from Secy & Prest –
The form of mortgage [5] and bonds, after being before the Prest for a week is at last approved – unless there is strong opposition from the Indians in shape of protests gotten up by the new agent (which I wouldn’t fear) I will have the $300,000 paid with the Treasury & invested in our bonds in a week – I will four or five days thereafter start for Ohio & Kansas.
The general impression is the first battle, after Pickens, will be at Norfolk. The Govt. is not ready. Genl [6] Scott says Genl Impatience is the only opposing General he fears. At present, it is plain the enemy can put man for man in the field anywhere in eastern Virginia with us. I doubt very much if there is a battle in Virginia except at Pickens for a full month or more –
I am sincerely sorry to hear of Mothers illness- Give my best love to her & all at home.
Yr Son Tom.
Historical Background
Sherman was called Cump by his birth parents – Charles and Mary Sherman – from a very young age. His father, a justice on the Ohio Supreme Court, named him William Tecumseh, an unusual name for the time, after the great Shawnee war chief of the early 19th century. Unfortunately, his father carried exorbitant debts, and after he died penniless in 1829, when Cump was only nine years old, his mother couldn’t hold the family of eleven children together. Family and friends helped by adopting one or two children apiece, and Sherman was taken in by neighbor Thomas Ewing. With the Ewings he was well-educated, and his foster father secured him his appointment to West Point. All of his brothers and foster brothers were very ambitious, including Thomas Ewing, Jr., nine years Sherman’s junior.
At the time of Ewing, Jr.’s letter, Sherman was an executive for St. Louis Rail Road, a streetcar company. On May 8, Sherman wrote directly to Secretary of War Simon Cameron offering his services. Ewing’s realistic prediction proved correct – Sherman was commissioned colonel of the 13th U.S. Infantry Regiment backdated to May 14, 1861. According to historians Brooks Simpson and Jean Berlin, “on May 6, Tom urged Cump to tell his army friends what position he wanted and they would work with Winfield Scott to get it for him …. On May 8 he reported that he, along with John and Charles Sherman, had seen Lincoln, who expressed a high opinion of WTS and promised to second any recommended appointment…. He added that WTS had better offer his services soon or all opportunities would be gone.”
Sherman would not receive a brigadier general’s commission until after First Manassas (July 21, 1861), but it was made effective from May 17, giving him seniority over such officers as Ulysses S. Grant, his future commander. His rapid rise was in part due to his standing as one of the few Union officers to perform well at First Manassas, a humiliating defeat.
Thomas Ewing, Jr. and Sherman himself were uncommonly skeptical of the chances for easy victory over the South. Both were confident that the moral and economic superiority of the North would reap victory in the end, however. In an oft-quoted letter to Southern friend David Boyd in 1861, Sherman predicted, “This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don’t know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth—right at your doors. You are bound to fail….”
Ewing, Jr. correctly ascertained the naiveté of the “On to Richmond” crowd, and, conversely, the wisdom of General Winfield Scott, hero of the Mexican War, who was General-in-Chief at the outset of the Civil War. Scott’s “Anaconda Plan” provided the ultimate blueprint for Union victory, with its call for naval blockade and conquest of the Mississippi Valley. Ewing, Jr. quotes Scott as saying, “Genl Impatience is the only opposing General he fears.” It would be Grant and Sherman who did more than any other Union officers to execute Scott’s realistic vision for achieving victory.
Thomas Ewing, Jr. (1829-1896), son of an influential Ohio politician and foster brother (and brother-in-law) of General William T. Sherman, was private secretary to President Zachary Taylor in 1849-1850. He moved to Kansas in the late 1850s, and became chief justice of the state in 1861 upon its entrance to the Union. Ewing, Jr. then joined the army and was promoted to brigadier general in March 1863. He commanded the District of the Border, comprising parts of Kansas and western Missouri. Ewing was responsible for General Order Number 11, issued in retaliation against William Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence, Kansas. By this, all civilians with Confederate sympathies in the counties in question could be expelled. In late September and October 1864, Ewing helped stymie Sterling Price’s invasion of Missouri.
Thomas Ewing, Sr. (1789-1871) was a major Whig and Republican politician, U.S. Senator from Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury under William H. Harrison, and Secretary of the Interior under Zachary Taylor. His daughter Ellen married his foster-son, William T. Sherman, and three of his sons – Thomas, Jr., Hugh, and Charles – became Union generals.
William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891) was one of the greatest generals of the Civil War Era, a consummate strategist who understood the social and political aspects of war. After a brief bout of depression in late 1861, Sherman was reassigned to the West and served under Ulysses Grant in the Army of the Tennessee. He took part in such important victories as Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, and in March 1864, with Grant’s ascension to General-in-Chief, was named to command the entire Western Department. His capture of Atlanta in September 1864, helped stem the increasing unpopularity of the war on the homefront, helping Lincoln win reelection, and his “March to the Sea” from November 16 to December 22, 1864, ravaged the Georgia countryside and devastated the South. Sherman remained in the Army and, when Grant was elected President in 1868, became commanding general, which position he retained until his retirement in 1884. He prosecuted the wars against the Plains Indians.

In 1865 or 1866, they moved to Missouri, leaving their Brokaw and Lambert friends behind in Ohio. The Brokaws and Lambert families went to Illinois, and in 1867, proceeded on west to Newton, Jasper County, Iowa. When James Elder Kerr, Jr. died in 1874, the Brokaws and Lamberts prevailed upon Clarissa and family to move to Iowa to be with them. Opportunities were better in Iowa, and Iowa was not as far as Ohio for Clarissa and family to travel to begin a new life.
The 1880 Census for Newton Township, Jasper County, Iowa, page 58, reflects Clara Kerr, age 47, as head of household. Her birthplace was listed as Ohio, with both parents born in Ohio. Family members included James, 24, at college; William, 22, farm hand; Maggie, 19, at home; Emma, 17, school teach; Herbert, 14, at school; Eddie, 11, at school; and Millie, 9, at school. All the children were born in Ohio, with the exception of Eddie and Millie, who were born in Missouri.
Clarissa Ann Beatty's death certificate is on file in the state of Iowa, under the name Mrs. Clara Kerr, certificate number 90-96-156, showing date of death of May 17, 1896, place of death Ottumwa, Wapello Co., age 62, and cause of death, nervous prostration. Burial was in Newton on May 19, 1896.
Her obituary (which recorded her birth date as 1832, and marriage date as Aug 22) stated:
"Home at Last. Last Tuesday afternoon, there was tenderly laid to rest in Wittemberg cemetery all that was mortal of "Mother" Kerr, a woman greatly beloved among us, and one who had spent many years of her life here.
"Mrs. Kerr was born in Greenfield, Ohio, in 1832, her maiden name being Clara Beatty. There the days of her childhood and girlhood were spent. During those years when she was developing into womanhood, Dr. Crothers, one of the best ministers Ohio ever had, was the pastor of her home church. In early life she cast in her lot with God's people. All the years since have witnessed her faithful and consistent Christian life--as a young lady, afterwards as wife and mother.
"She was married August 22, 1852, in Ohio, to Mr. James E. Kerr. They moved to Missouri in 1865. There Mr. Kerr died February 12, 1874. Soon after his death, the family moved to Iowa. She lived in Newton until 1892, when she went out to Helena, Montana, to make her home with her daughters, Mrs. Maggie Harrah and Mrs. A. J. Craven.
"Last fall she came back to Iowa, to Ottumwa, where her son Will lived, thus to make a home for his children, who had been bereft of their mother. Soon after arriving in that city she took the grippe [influenza-like symptoms], from which she never recovered. Her illness was long and tedious, and a gradual wasting away. Through it all she was patient and uncomplaining, always evincing that sweet, loving spirit which was so characteristic of her. The end came last Sunday, in peace
"Her son Will, her daughter, Mrs. Mattie Gosslin and Mrs. McElroy came from Ottumwa with the body on Monday afternoon.
"The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church, of which she was a member for so many years, and the remains were interred in the Wittemburg cemetery.
"The pulpit and stands, as well as the casket, were covered with beautiful and choice flowers, filling the air with delicate perfume. Rev. David Brown, of New Sharon, gave the address which was based on the text in Psalms 17-15, the principal theme being the transforming power of the Christ life. It was a tender, beautiful tribute to the Christian character of Mrs. Kerr, which though quiet, was strong and sincere, 'shining more and more into the perfect day.' He was assisted by Rev. Rice. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Jennie Salmon, Miss Margaret Robinson, Messrs. Harry McMurry and James Dutton, with Miss Anna Tremains as organist, rendered the music.
"Mrs. Kerr had nine children, eight of whom are still living: C. L., of Manilla, Iowa; James A., of Fair Haven, Washington; Mrs. Margaret Harrah and Mrs. A.J. Craven, of Helena, Montana; S. Herbert, of Rolfe, Iowa; Ed. W., of Newton and Mrs. Mattie Gosslin, of Astoria, Oregon. Her youngest child, Esther, died in childhood. Left a widow with this large family to care for, who will be able to tell the story of, or fitly praise the noble woman who performed the task so ably, showered her love and life so generously through all those years?
"Four of her sons, Cal, Will, Herbert and Ed and one daughter, Mattie, were present at the funeral. Mrs. S. H. Kerr came with her husband. The others were too far away. John P. Beatty, of our city is Mrs. Kerr's brother. --Newton Journal."

Jurist and statesman, b. in West Liberty, Virginia (now West Virginia), U.S.A. 28 December, 1789; d. at Lancaster, Ohio, 26 October, 1871. His father, George Ewing of New Jersey, who had served as an officer in the Continental Army after the Revolution, settled in the Northwest Territory, in the Muskingum Valley, and then, in 1798, in what is now Ames Township, Athens County, Ohio. Here, amid the privations of pioneer life, Ewing was taught to read by his elder sister, Sarah, and by extraordinary efforts acquired a fair elementary education. At the age of nineteen he left home and worked in the Kanawha salt establishments, pursuing his studies at night by the light of the furnace fires. He remained there until he had earned sufficient to enable him to enter the Ohio University at Athens, where, in 1815, he received the degree of A.B., the first degree conferred by any college in the western country. Ewing then studied law at Lancaster, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1816. He entered into a partnership with his preceptor, in the firm of Beecher & Ewing, and then, after Mr. Beecher's death, with his own son Philemon, in the firm of Ewing & Son. He achieved high prominence as a lawyer and won notable success at the state and national bar.
In March, 1831, Ewing entered public life as a member from Ohio of the United States Senate, and became prominent therein, with Webster and Clay, in resistance of the acts of President Jackson and in support of Whig measures. He upheld the protective tariff system of Clay, and presented one of the first of the memorials for the abolition of slavery.
In March, 1837, on the expiration of his term, he resumed the practice of the law. Upon the election of President Harrison, he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in March, 1841. He prepared the second bill for the re-charter of the Bank of the United States, and, on its veto by Tyler, he resigned from the cabinet, in September, 1841. In March, 1849, he was appointed by President Taylor secretary of the then recently created Department of the Interior. He organized the department, and in his report to congress urged the construction of a railroad to the Pacific. On the death of Taylor in 1850, Ewing resigned from the cabinet and was appointed senator from Ohio to fill an unexpired term. On the expiration of his term in March, 1851, he returned to the practice of the law. In 1860 Ewing was appointed by the Governor of Ohio a member of the famous Peace Conference, and he was prominent in the efforts to avert the secession of the Southern States. During the war he unreservedly supported the government, and his judgment on matters of state was frequently sought by Mr. Lincoln. When the capture of Mason and Slidell brought England and the United States to the verge of hostilities, Ewing sent Mr. Lincoln the famous telegram that was decisive of the whole trouble: "There can be no contraband of war between neutral points." It was his advice that finally prevailed and secured the freeing of the envoys and the averting of hostilities. Conservative in his opinions, Ewing opposed the radical measures of Reconstruction at the close of the war and supported the administration of President Johnson. In February, 1868, after the removal of Stanton, the President sent to the Senate the nomination of Ewing as Secretary of War, but it was not confirmed.
Descended of Scottish Presbyterian stock, Ewing, after a lifelong attraction to the Catholic Church, entered it in his latter years. Reared outside the fold of any religious body, he married, 7 January, 1820, Maria Wills Boyle, daughter of Hugh Boyle, an Irish Catholic. He was deeply influenced by the living faith and pious example of his wife during their long married life, and all his children were reared in the Faith. In October, 1869, Ewing was stricken while arguing a cause before the Supreme Court of the United States and he was baptized in the court room. In September, 1871, his lifelong friend, Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati, received him into the Church.
PHILEMON BEECHER, eldest son of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 3 November, 1820; d. there 15 April, 1896. He graduated in 1838 from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and then entered upon the study of the law. Admitted to the Bar in 1841, he formed with his father the firm of T. Ewing & Son. In both State and Federal courts, through his grasp of the philosophy of the law and his judicial temperament, he won a place beside his illustrious father. He. was also the main support of his father in his political life and labours, and was an active figure first in the Whig and then in the Republican party. In 1862 he was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Being opposed to the Reconstruction measures of his party he took part in the Liberal Republican movement. He was nominated to the supreme bench of Ohio in 1873. During the sixties and seventies he engaged in the banking business, and was prominent in the development of the Hocking Valley coal-fields. The later years of his life were spent in retirement.
He married at Lancaster 31 August, 1848, Mary Rebecca Gillespie, a sister of Eliza Maria Gillespie (Mother Mary of St. Angela of the Sisters of the Holy Cross of Notre Dame, Indiana). He was a man of wide culture and a writer of vigorous and limpid English. He was ever foremost where the interests of the Church were concerned, and was a delegate from the Diocese of Columbus to the Catholic Congresses of 1889 and 1893.
HUGH BOYLE, third son of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 31 October, 1826; d. there 30 June, 1905. He was educated at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and in 1849 went to California, returning to Lancaster, in 1852, to enter on the study of the law. On his admission to the Bar, he practised in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1854 to 1856, and then, in partnership with his brother Thomas, at Leavenworth, Kansas, from 1856 to 1858. In April, 1861, he was appointed brigade-inspector of Ohio Volunteers with the rank of major, and in August, 1861, was commissioned colonel, commanding the Thirtieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and rendered conspicuous service. In November, 1862, he was commissioned brigadier-general. He took part in the operations against Vicksburg, and his command led in the assault of 22 May, 1863. In July following he was appointed to the command of the Fourth Division, Fifteenth Army Corps. In the operations about Chattanooga he led his division in the assault upon Missionary Ridge and its capture. In the latter part of the war he was placed in command of the district of Kentucky, and at its close was brevetted major-general. In 1866 President Johnson appointed him Minister to The Hague, which post he filled until 1870. On his return to the United States, he bought a small estate near Lancaster, in 1876, on which he lived until his death. He was married at Washington, D. C., 3 August, 1858, to Henrietta Elizabeth Young. He was a man of wide culture, and an interesting writer. He published several stories, among them "The Grand Ladron, a tale of Early California", "Koche, a King of Pit", "A Castle in the Air", and "The Black List".
CHARLES, fifth child of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 6 March, 1835; d. at Washington, 20 June, 1883. Commencing his studies at the college of the Dominican Fathers in Perry County, Ohio, he later attended Gonzaga College, Washington, and the University of Virginia. In 1860 he began the practice of law in St. Louis, Missouri. The Civil War breaking out soon afterwards, he was commissioned a captain in the Thirteenth Infantry of the United States Regulars in May, 1861, and in the Spring of 1862, joined his brother-in-law, General William T. Sherman, in the Arkansas and Mississippi campaigns. In the siege of Vicksburg he was thrice wounded. On the 22nd of June, 1862, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel and assistant inspector-general of volunteers, and on the 15th of June, 1863, inspector-general of the Fifteenth Army Corps. He served with much distinction in the Atlanta campaign and the famous march through Georgia. On the 8th of March, 1865, he was commissioned brigadier-general, and on the mustering out of the volunteers was transferred to the regular force, from which he resigned as brevet-colonel on the 31st of July, 1867. He was brevetted three times in the regular service for gallant and meritorious services at the Vicksburg and Atlanta campaigns. After his retirement from the Army, he took up his residence in Washington and began the practice of law, in which profession he obtained considerable prominence. In 1873 he accepted the appointment of Indian Commissioner, and laboured energetically to restore to the Catholic Indian Missions the schools among the Indians which they had maintained for twenty years. Pope Pius IX, 3 May, 1877, created him a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great. General Ewing married Virginia, daughter of John K. Miller of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
ELEANOR BOYLE (MRS. WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN), daughter of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 4 October, 1824; d. in New York City, 28 November, 1888. She was educated at the Visitation Convent at Georgetown, D. C. In 1829, just after his father's death, William Tecumseh Sherman, the subsequent famous General of the United States army, then a boy of nine years, was adopted by Mr. Ewing, reared in his household, and appointed by him to the U. S. Military Academy. Sherman married the daughter of his benefactor, 1 May, 1850. She was devoted throughout her life, after the duties of her household, to the relief of suffering and of want, and to the advancement of the Church. Mentally, she inherited the brilliant intellectual powers of her father and was a true helpmate of her husband in his distinguished career. She was the author of "Thomas Ewing, a Memorial", published in 1872. Father P.J. De Smet, S.J., the missionary among the Indians, was an old and intimate friend of the Shermans, and through this intimacy Mrs. Sherman was led to take a special interest in the cause of the Catholic Indians. Her influence and great personal exertions were of much assistance at Washington, to her brother, General Charles Ewing, in the work of saving and promoting the missions for the Catholic Indians.

CHAPTER IV.
LANCASTER'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS, PAST AND PRESENT.
---------------
GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN,
This eminent Lancastrian was born Feb. 8, 1820, bis parents being Judge Charles and Marv Hoyt Sherman, than whom no more honorable names adorn the records of Fairfield County.
It is rather remarkable that an entire family should be at once so interesting and distinguished as was that of Judge Sherman. His son John is too well known as statesman and financier to need a historian so soon after his demise. The same may be said of Gen. Sherman, and it is said that all the eleven children possessed remarkable traits of character, which reflected to a marked degree the strong individuality of their illustrious forebears.
Mrs. Sherman, left a widow with a large family, Hon. Thomas Ewing, a neighbor with great regard for the Judges memory, offered to adopt William, or Cump as he was familiarly known, and until sixteen years of age, when he went to West Point, he lived with Mr. and Mrs. Ewing, afterward marrying their eldest daughter (1850).
Graduating third in his class at West Point, he rose from the rank of Second Lieutenant to Captain, serving at Fort Moultrie and in California.
From 1853 to 1857 he was in the banking business on the Pacific coast, the monotony of a military life having wearied him. Later, having studied law while in the army, he went to Leavenworth, Kansas, where, with Thomas H. Ewing and General McCook, he established himself in that profession.
Perhaps it was his bearing the name of the Indian warrior Tecumseh perhaps his early training, or perhaps destiny but we next find him in 1859 President of the Louisiana State Military Academy, where he remained until the Civil War, when, being in sympathy with the North, he resigned and proceeded to Washington, offering his services to the President for the awful struggle, which, from his long residence in the South, he knew to be inevitable.
We see him in command at Bull Run brave, desperate, his brigade lost more than two-thirds of its number. Later, Brigadier-General of volunteers at Louisville, Ky.; again at Shiloh, where Grant said of Sherman: To his individual effort I am indebted for the success of the battle.
Then Vicksburg, Missionary Ridge, and Lookout Mountain, a panorama of glorious achievements, which shall be told by father to son as long as memories of the Civil War remain.
Perhaps he added more largely to his reputation by his movement on Atlanta and his historic March to the Sea, severing all connections as he went, burning his bridges behind
Page 94 -
him, discarding all but necessities, without surplus provisions and in an enemys country; shouting defiance to all orthodox methods of warfare, military critics pronounced him insane and prophesied destruction for the entire army.
It is an old story now of how the mighty host swept all before it, and how like a triumphal march his soldiers occupied Macon, and through cities, villages, forests, fields, "On to the Sea was their cry, and rested not until that eventful Christmas tide, 1864, he wired President Lincoln: "I beg to present to you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah with 150 guns and plenty of ammunition and about 25,000 bales. of cotton.
But for this brilliant campaign, his conquest of the Carolinas, which so soon followed, would alone have made him famous. True, he differed with the War Department as to terms of surrender for Johnston at Raleigh, and Grant relieved Sherman in arranging this matter, but history has vindicated his opinions, and he has had ample justice done to the daring originality of design, the fertility of resource, the brilliant strategy and untiring energy that made Gen. Grant pronounce him "the best field officer the war had produced.
Sherman was made Lieutenant-General in 1866, Commander-in-Chief in 1869, and retired from the army Nov. 1, 1883.
General Sherman died in New York City, Feb. 14, 1891, and was buried in St. Louis, Mo., beside his wife, who had preceded him in 1888.
He directed that the only inscription above his dust should be his name, rank, dates of birth and death, and the words "True and Honest.
HON. JOHN SHERMAN.
Where so many distinguished names compete for superlatives, it is, indeed, difficult to say who has been Lancasters most distinguished son.
Possibly the popular vote would as nearly be unanimous on the name of John Sherman as on that of any other, and at its mere mention not only Lancaster, but the County of Fairfield and the State of Ohio, together with the entire United States and all the world beside, hasten to lay immortelles on the grave of this truly great man.
John Sherman was born in Lancaster, May 10, 1823, his parents being Judge Charles R. and Mary Hoyt Sherman.
Judge Sherman died in 1829 and two years later John, then but eight years old, was offered a home in the family of his fathers cousin, John Sherman, at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Here he remained about four years, and in 1835 returned to his mothers family at Lancaster.
As a boy of twelve, he entered Howes Academy, and in after years, when in retrospective mood, used to recount the happy days spent with his schoolmates, Wm. P. Rice, Winthrop Sifford, P. B. Ewing, Fred. Reese, William Duke, Mike Effinger, his brother "Cutup Sherman, and many other names familiar to the fast passing generation.
In 1837 John Sherman was rodman under Col. S. R. Curtis, and for two years assisted on the Muskingum River improvements.
A political change retiring Col. Curtis engineers in 1839, young Sherman then about sixteen, found employment with Dr. M. Z. Kreider, Clerk of the Courts, and the records show him to have been paid $1.50 per day for his services.
Page 95 -
In 1890 he entered his brother Charles' law office at Mansfield, Ohio, and on May 10, 1844 his twenty-first birthday he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court at Springfield, Ohio.
He at once became a partner of his brother Charles, and their office in Mansfield was a center of legal and political work.
In 1852 he was a delegate to the Whig State Convention, and was warmly complimented on his brief but brilliant speech.
In 1854 he was elected to Congress, taking his seat Dec. 1, 1855, and from that date until almost immediately before his death, he was continuously in public life, as Representative, United States Senator, or as member of the President's Cabinet.
In a word, he was a Statesman, and no man has done more for his country than John Sherman.
He died in Washington City, Oct. 22, 1900, and was buried beside his beloved wife
at Mansfield, Ohio.
The pilgrim they laid in a large upper chamber
Whose windows opened toward tile sun rising.
The name of the chamber was peace.
HON. THOMAS EWING.
Thomas Ewing, the elder, was born on Dec. 28, 1789, near West Liberty, in Ohio County, Virginia (now West Virginia). He was of Scotch-Irish descent. His father, George Ewing, served in one of the New Jersey regiments in the Revolutionary War. His mother was Rachel Harris, of New Jersey.
While he was still a child his father settled near Amesville, in Athens County. A high rock, the top of which is difficult of access, is still pointed out where he used to read and study. There is a story current that the son of a recent owner of the farm pointed out the rock to a visitor, and said that he didnt remember who used to climb upon it, but thought it was Adam and Eve!
His early life was one of privation and of great physical and mental exertion. Before he was eight years of age he had read the entire Bible, and a year later, to borrow a new book, walked twenty miles, along a trail where for thirteen miles there was no house. A few years later he contributed all his hoarded wealth, ten raccoon skins, towards the purchase of the famous Coon-skin Library. Much of the time between 1809 and 1812 he worked at the Kanawha salt wells, where, by prodigious exertion, he earned enough money to pay off the purchase mortgage on his father's farm and for his education at Athens University. He was graduated in the year 1815. After a year in the law office of the Hon. Philemon Beecher he was admitted to the bar, and began the practice of law in Lancaster.
During four or five years he was prosecuting attorney of Fairfield County, where he succeeded in stamping out the traffic, theretofore prevalent, in counterfeit bank-notes. Of the bar of that early day Mr. Ewing has written:
Page 96 -
Mr. Ewing served in the Senate of the United States as a Whig from 1831 to 1837, and again in 1850-51. He was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by President Harrison in 1841, and Secretary of the Interior by President Taylor in 1849. His most important public services were rendered, however, mainly by public discussions during the later years of his life.
In January of 1820 Mr. Ewing was married to Maria Wills Hoyle, daughter of Hugh Hoyle, of Lancaster, who, for forty years, was Clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio for Fairfield County. She was a devout Catholic. Their married life was one of happiness, unbroken until her death, which occured on Feb. 20, 1864, in Lancaster, where her virtues and charities are still lovingly remembered. They had five sons and two daughters. One son, George, died in infancy. Another son, Philemon Beecher, was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County and prominent in Lancaster as a man of business. Three other sons, Hugh Hoyle, Thomas and Charles, were all lawyers, and each attained, during the Cival War, the rank of Brigadier-General. Of two daughters, one, Ellen Hoyle, was the wife of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman; and the other, Maria Theresa, was the wife of Col. Clement F. Steele.
Mr. Ewing died in Lancaster on Oct. 26, 1871. A few days before his death he entered the Catholic Church. His moral elevation and superb abilities entitle him to rank among the greatest lawyers of his time.
GEN. THOMAS EWING, JR.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, son of Thomas Ewing and Maria Wills Hoyle, was born at the Ewing homestead, in Lancaster, Ohio, on the seventh day of August, 1829. He was educated at Mr. Lyons' School, in Lancaster, at the Greenfield Academy, and at Brown University, in Rhode Island. When he was nineteen years old he was one of the private secretaries to President Taylor. He was graduated from the Cincinnati Law School, and began the practice of the law in Cincinnati in 1855. On Jan. 18, 1856, he was married with Miss Ellen Ewing Cox, a daughter of the Rev. William Cox, of Piqua, Ohio, whose younger daughter was the wife of Col. John M. Connell, of Lancaster.

OTTO W. KRAEMER.
Some of America's best citizens are foreign born, and while still honoring the Fatherland, are none the less proud of their adopted home; nay, have labored to its upbuilding through long and often troublesome years.
Of such is the subject of our sketch, Otto W. Kraemer, a native of Goethengen, German, where he was born Apr. 5, 1812.
He attended the famous university of that city, and not until 1833, when in his young manhood, did he determine to seek a home across the seas.
Page 105 -
He at once located at Lancaster, going into the drug business with Burry & Beck, and later with KofTman & Co.
Mr. Kraemer was a chemist of great ability. He became such by study and attention to the details of his chosen profession.
He died in September, 1868, leaving an honored name and the assurance to his family that he had benefited his fellow man.
HENRY ORMAN.
A long and honored life closed when Henry Orman, Sr., passed away, July 29, 1900. Born
HON. TALLMAN SLOUGH.
At the time of Judge Slough's death, Aug. 16, 1900, a local journal, in referring to his remarkable life, summed it up in a happy sentence: "An able jurist, affectionate

3, 1823. And yet the old family Bible so records that event as taking place at Burkettsville, Maryland.
His father, Samuel Rhodes, was born at Petersville, Maryland, Mar. 4, 1792, and died Oct. 9, 1884, so that it can be seen that John H. Rhodes comes of good old stock.
Mr. Rhodes, Sr., lived in Maryland until after his sons birth and then removed to Virginia, but hearing remarkable stories of the new West, he determined to make a home for his family in Ohio, and in 1832 made the long journey to Lancaster.
Business prospering, the Rhodes families, father and son, were among the most comfortable in Fairfield County.
John H. Rhodes joined the Masons in 1855, and for more then forty-five years has been a consistent member of the Order.

R. F. BROWN.
Was born at Sugar Grove, Fairfield County, Oct. 2, 1851. Orphaned while young, he was left to the care of his grandparents, residing in Morgan County, and afterward in Muskingum County, where young Brown acquired a good common school education, later attending the Fairfield Union Academy at Pleasantville, Ohio, and the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware. After leaving Delaware he began teaching, and alternated for twelve years his Summers on the farm, his Winters in the school-room.
In 1884 he was appointed Deputy Auditor under Benjamin F. Dum, serving in that capacity for over five years, when he succeeded to the Auditorships, and for six additional years conducted the office. At that time Mr. Ginder was elected Auditor and he promptly named Mr. Brown his Deputy, thus recognizing the faithfulness and integrity of this longtime official.
Mr. Brown has for years been a "City Father," serving on boards and committees of various bodies. He is now Chairman of the Natural Gas Board, and in every trust he has shown his entire fidelity to Lancaster and her best interests.
Mr. Brown has been in the service of Fairfield County for nearly twenty years.
CAPTAIN ALBERT GETZ.
Although foreign born, there is no more loyal citizen of this Great Republic than the subject of this sketch.
His birth place, Baden, Germany, Dec. 18, 1844, he was very young when his parents, Norbert and Hannah Getz, removed to New York State and here, until their death, they remained with their little family. Orphaned at the tender age of nine years, he was fortunate in finding a home in the family of his fathers kinsman, Ferdinand Getz, an old and honored citizen of Lancaster, Ohio. Here young Getz completed his education, and under Wolfinger & Hoffman learned the shoe business, and it is with this industry that for eighteen years his name has been invariably linked in the business world of his adopted city.
While with Myer & Getz, and afterward with the first shoe factory in Lancasternamed for him, by the way he was prominent in promoting the shoe business and incidentally the manufacturing interests of the city.
He was a member of the original Natural Gas Company of Lancaster, acting as its Vice-President, and later served three additional terms as Trustee of this company.
Mr. Getz was a member of the 114th Ohio regiment from 1862 to 1865 in the Civil War, and is properly proud of his honorable discharge from his countrys service. In 1881 he organized the Mt. Pleasant Guards and for eight years was its honored Captain.
Mrs. Getz, was before her marriage Miss Clara C. Ream, of Lancaster.
JOSEPH W. STEWART.
In 1848, in Jacksontown, over in Licking County, and right in midsummer, Aug. 4, Sheriff Joseph W. Stewart was born.

Like his neighbors, he went to the district school, and even now will tell you which of the teachers whipped him the hardest, and of the many pranks he played, for which he deserved all he got.
Leaving school, lie served for two years behind the counter of a local dry goods store, and then for three years followed Horace Greeley's advice Go West, young man locating in Kansas City and afterward in Denver.
But Ohio called him and Home, Sweet Home, beckoned, and, in 1872, we find him again in Fairfield County, and the following year he married Miss Alice Farr.
For a time he conducted a grocery business at Newark, but in 1881 removed to Pleasantville,
Ohio, opening a general warehouse.
In 1896 he was elected Sheriff, and in 1898 was again honored with the office.
LOUIS J. SNYDER
HON. GEORGE EWING.
It was said during one period of Rome, that "to have been a Roman was greater than a King," and so in Ohio, in Lancaster, to have relationship with this honorable family by blood or marriage ties was, indeed, good fortune.

He was born on this original farm, obtaining his education in the country schools and Lancaster High School. Later lie went one year to Worthington Academy, finishing at Xenia College, at which institution he afterward held the position of teacher of French for one year.
In 1881 he began the study of medicine, entering the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati, graduating in 1885. Immediately he began the practice of his profession at Lancaster, and in 1893 was appointed physician to the Boys Industrial School.
DR. GEORGE W. O'GRADY
Was born in Philadelphia, June 26, 1873, and at nine years of age removed with his parents to Lancaster, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the High School in June, 1895.
Long before this date (1890) he began the study of medicine with Dr. J. P. Hershberger, but as soon as he had finished school he went to the Pulte Medical College, Cincinnati, and later, 1896-97, to the Cleveland University of Medicine and Surgery. He completed his medical course at the Homeopathic College of Cleveland, graduating April 4, 1899. On Feb. 1, 1899, he received the appointment as first assistant house surgeon in the Huron Street (Cleveland) Hospital, and at the date of his graduation he was promoted to senior house surgeon, which position he retained until October, 1900, when he located in Lancaster, taking offices in the Effinger Block.
DR. LEE H. DECOURCY O'GRADY
Lee H. DeCourcy OGrady, D. D. S., was born Dec. 16, 1877, in Petrolia, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He came from the East with his parents in 1884, and received his education in the Lancaster public schools. Graduating from the Dental Department of the Ohio Medical University, Apr. 22, 1900, he opened an office in this city May 1, 1900, at 158½ West Main Street.
DR. J. C. SCOTT
Dr. Scott is a Lancaster boy for whom his native city has never had cause to blush, but, on the contrary, points to his success in his chosen calling dentistry as an incentive to the rising generation and an example of what energy and natural ability can do.
To be sure his father, Dr. Hervey Scott, left him the heritage of a good name, one respected far and near; instead of being handicapped thereby, as is sometimes the case, young Scott seemed determined not to tarnish his family honor, but to add more laurels thereto. His record at school in Lancaster and at the Ohio College of Dental Surgery, at Cincinnati, is one to be proud of, and included plenty of hard work, otherwise he could not have taken the high standing in his profession at his old home, for at Lancaster, as

elsewhere, a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. But true merit "pot there. The third generation Dr. Scott is now in training in the person of Dr. J. C. Scotts son Walter, who graduated in dentistry from his fathers Alma Mater in May, 1901.
DR. JOHN J. STUCKEY
Was horn at Sugar Grove, Ohio, Sept. 7, 1868. He attended the Lancaster public schools, and completed his education with a normal course.

He studied dentistry for three years with Dr. Scott, graduating from the Ohio Medical University of Columbus in 1896, after which he established himself in a very successful practice in Lancaster, with offices in the Rising Block.
DR. C. W. OUTCALT.
While drums and bugles were calling good men and true, and when
"Many where the hearts praying for the right,
And wishing for the war to cease,"
The subject of our sketch was born on Sept. 4, 1864, at Lancaster, Ohio.
Too young to know what it all meant, he only learned from the pages of history in the schools of his native town what thrilling events had silvered the hair of his elders. He only knew 1864 as his birth year; to them it was not only that, but the pivotal year of one of the greatest conflicts the world has ever known.
At seventeen years of age young Outcalt began the study of dentistry, and on May 1, 1886, graduated in his chosen profession at the University of Pennsylvania.
Immediately returning to Lancaster, he began a successful practice, his offices being well and favorably known throughout Fairfield and adjoining counties.
DR. W. C. GRAHAM.
A Fairfield County boy by birth, he gained his education at the district schools until such time as he was ready for the Lancaster High School, where he spent a year fitting himself for the Ohio Normal University at Ada.
The training at the University persuaded him that he had a vocation for teaching, and for three years he was a successful instructor.

Not only an affable, congenial gentleman, but thoroughly posted in his profession, the Doctor is an addition to the social and business community of Lancaster, and highly appreciated by all who know him.
DR. E. C. REPASS.

Preston B. Plumb, United States senator from Kansas from 1877 to 1891, was a man whose life history was closely identified with that of the state. There will be other senators in Congress from the state, but there can never be one more devoted to the interests of her people, more faithful or loyal to the welfare of the whole country, who will love his work and perform it better than did Senator Plumb. He was born at Berkshire, Delaware county, Ohio, Oct. 12, 1837. He was a son of David Prince and Hannah Maria (Bierce) Plumb, of old New England families, and the parents of whom were pioneers in Ohio. David Plumb was a wagon maker; and in youth the future United States senator worked for a part of the time in his father's shop. At the age of twelve he went into the world to make his own way. He realized that he would need education, and attended Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, an Episcopal institution which issued a small paper, in the office of which young Plumb worked to support himself while attending Milnor Hall of that school. He was at Kenyon almost three years, became a good printer, and then returned to Marysville (Delaware county), where his father then lived, and secured work as a compositor in the office of the "Tribune", a local newspaper. A rival paper was established there, but failed, and Plumb and another printer bought the office and moved it to Xenia, Ohio, and founded the "Xenia News." Plumb was then about sixteen, full of energy and enthusiasm, and with business ability far beyond his years.
The Plumbs were pronounced anti-slavery people, and the community which they lived was strongly of the same sentiment. Preston B. Plumb never had any doubt regarding his duty, and when the Kansas conflict came on he became a champion of the Free-State cause. His paper reflected his views in vigorous terms. On the evening of June 14, 1856, Marcus J. Parrott addressed the people at Xenia, making a powerful appeal for the Kansas people who were struggling against the hordes of slavery and border-ruffianism. The next morning Plumb went into his office and said to his partner, "Joe, I am going to Kansas and help fight this outrage down, or die with the Free-State men." "I protested," his partner afterwords[sic] wrote, "but go he would, and go he did." That was characteristic of Plumb. He was always quick and usually unerring in his judgment, and when he had decided to do a thing he did it at once and with all his strength. Plumb arrived at Leavenworth, on the steamer "Cataract," July 4, 1856. He visited Lawrence, Lecompton, Topeka, and other towns. He was delighted with the country; his determination to aid the Free-State cause was confirmed, and he resolved to make Kansas his future home. On his return to Ohio he went down the Missouri river, a dangerous thing to do at that time. On the boat he fell under the suspicion of the border-ruffians and might have lost his life but for the interference of Col. Philip D. Elkins, father of the late Stephen B. Elkins, who lived at Westport and was himself a border-ruffian. Plumb started again to Kansas almost immediately. He was enlisted in the Kansas cause heart and soul. The Missouri river was then closed to Free-State immigrants. Plumb went to Chicago and offered his services to the National Kansas Committee and was sent on to Iowa City with letters to Dr. Bowen, the forwarding agent there. At Iowa City he purchased three wagons and three teams of horses. One wagon was loaded with supplies for the journey. Into the others were loaded one brass cannon (12 pounder) and carriage, 250 Sharp's rifles, 250 Colt's navy pistols, 250 bowie knives, and 20,000 rounds of ammunition for the rifles. Plumb recruited a company of ten young men, among them the father of Senator Charles Curtis, and Capt. A. C. Pierce, now of Junction City, to heIp him take his warlike cargo to Kansas. This company was known as the "Grizzlies," and Plumb was the captain. When the wagons were ready to take the road, Dr. Bowen made the company a speech, in which he said: "If the border-ruffians succeed in taking your lives, may the noble cause in which you die give you a passport to a better world." To this speech Plumb replied, closing with these words: "I have seen Kansas. I know the perils of her liberty-loving people. I have seen the border-ruffians and the desolation of their work. I need no intro duction to them. I accept the responsibility of this great trust you have today confided to me; and these munitions of defense, if we live, shall be delivered to those for whom they are intended." Plumb was then a boy of eighteen, and there is nothing in all the annals of Kansas which surpass this enterprise and this speech. The cargo was delivered at Topeka on Sept. 25, after a thrilling journey through Iowa and Nebraska, in which Plumb had to quell a mutiny on one occasion, which he did with cocked revolver in hand. At Topeka he bought axes, augers, saws, and such other tools as were necessary in the founding of a pioneer post. He and most of his company then started up the Kansas river to find a location for their settlement. Near where Salina was afterwards built they laid out a town which they called Mariposa. A substantial log house was erected. Plumb then went back to Ohio and sold his interest in the "Xenia News," returning to Lawrence in December. There he secured the position as foreman in the office of the "Herald of Freedom." It was soon discovered that Mariposa was too far from other settlements to succeed at that time, and the company had no money. Lawrence people were then forming the Emporia Town Company, in which Plumb secured an interest. Settlement at Emporia began early in 1857. Plumb established there the "Kansas News," the first number of which was issued June 6, 1857. In 1858 he was a delegate to the convention which formed the Leavenworth constitution. In this convention he took an active part, and there he formed the acquaintance of Thomas Ewing and many other men who became famous in Kansas. In the winters of 1858-59 and 1860-61 Plumb attended law school in Cleveland, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1861, in which year he was made reporter of the Kansas supreme court. He practiced law until he entered the army. He was a member of the House in the legislature which convened in January, 1862, having been elected the previous November. He was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and of the committee to manage the impeachment cases against the state officers. In the summer of 1862 he aided in raising the Eleventh Kansas infantry, being mustered in as captain of Company C, Sept. 10, and on the 25th of that month was promoted to major; and he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, May 17, 1864. He was in the battle of Prairie Grove and all the other battles in the campaigns of General Blunt in the Ozark mountain region, in 1862-3. He was chief of staff for General Ewing, in 1863, at Kansas City, and in August drove Quantrill out of Kansas, after the Lawrence raid. He was in the battles of Lexington, Little Blue, Big Blue, Westport, and in the pursuit of Price, in 1864. In 1865 he was in the Platte campaign in Wyoming, through the spring and summer, and was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth, Sept. 15. He resumed the practice of law at Emporia, and in 1867 the firm of Ruggles & Plumb was formed. This firm stood at the head of the Kansas bar. Plumb was speaker of the house in the legislature which convened in 1867, and was a member of the house in the legislature of 1868. In 1873 he engaged in the banking business at Emporia, in which he continued with success until his election to the United States senate. He engaged extensively in railroad building, also, and was one of the company which promoted the railroad from Junction City to Parsons, now a part of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway. 1877 he was elected to the United States senate. He was twice reëlected, and his third election was without a single dissenting vote, an honor which never came to any other Kansan. In the senate he had great influence. He knew the needs of the people of Kansas and met them all by prompt action and ready tact. He was ever in touch with the state and worked constantly for the benefit of its people. He was chairman of the Committee on Public Lands and was on other committies, including those on appropriations and finance. He ranked with the foremost senators of his time and secured the passage of many of the laws now in the statutes of the United States. He led the fight within the Republican party against the McKinley tariff bill and voted against the bill on its final passage. He was the first to propose a tariff commission, the idea being original with him, and he opposed the "Force Bill." In the senate he was a hard worker and a powerful debater. On March 8, 1867, Senator Plumb was married to Miss Caroline A. Southwick, of Ashtabula, Ohio. Her father, Abijah Southwick, was a strong anti-slavery man and his home was one of the principal stations on the "Underground Railroad" in northern Ohio, as many as forty fugitive slaves being cared for at his house at one time. Emporia was a small town when Mrs. Plumb went there to live. She has ever been active in all charitable work, and in every movement for the progress of the town she has borne her part. She is a member of the Congregational church. To Senator and Mrs. Plumb were born six children, all now living but one.
The retirement of Senator Ingalls and six Kansas congressmen more doubled Senator Plumb's labors, and his death was caused by over-work, He was warned in the summer to take a long rest, and had arranged a trip to Europe, but did not go, as loyalty to his friends prompted him to return to Kansas and take an active part in the campaign. The result was that when he returned to Washington, he was worn out. His capacity for work has never been equaled by a member of the senate. On Dec. 20, 1891, he died of apoplexy, at his rooms on Fourteenth street, Washington, D. C. The news of his death came as a shock to all Kansas, and genuine sorrow seized her people, for his life was devoted to and in the end sacrificed for them.

Olympics-Athletics-US dominance is perfect launch pad for LA, says Coe
By Lori Ewing
PARIS (Reuters) -The United States have dominated the athletics events at the Paris Olympics with Noah Lyles’ dramatic victory in the men’s 100 metres, Quincy Hall’s come from behind win in the 400 and Cole Hocker’s shock 1,500 gold among the highlights.
The U.S. have a huge lead atop the athletics medal table with a whopping 27, adding eight to their haul on Thursday evening alone. Jamaica and Australia are next with six apiece.
The Americans’ remarkable success in Paris is the perfect launch pad heading into the Los Angeles Olympics in four years’ time, said World Athletics president Sebastian Coe.
“Very important, you want a really well-stocked shop window,” he told reporters on Thursday.
Britain finished fourth in the medal table at the 2008 Beijing Games, which was a big boost ahead of the 2012 London Olympics when Coe was chair of the organising committee.
“(Britain) won a sackful of medals, it sort of took you out of the arguments, and people just went ‘Oh my God bring this on’,” he said.
“And also, can you imagine all these British athletes and sportsmen and women in their own backyards, and I’m hoping that people in America are sensing that in track and field certainly this is the golden generation.
“It’s fantastic because in the past, you talked about Carl (Lewis), you talked about Michael (Johnson), but they were very much magnesium flares in that generation. Now you’re looking at a bandwidth of a performer.”
Coe attributed the U.S. success largely to the American college system, plus coaches, particularly in the middle distance races, pointing out that the men’s 1,500 in Paris had three Americans in the top five.
Paris also featured the debut of the “repechage”, which gives runners a second chance to advance to semi-finals if they do not clinch automatic qualifying berths. Briton Coe said whether or not that was a success in Paris would be a part of their post-mortem.
“These are cursory observations, but the broadcasters have quite liked it, the athletes themselves have liked it because they’ve had another chance obviously of qualifying,” said Coe, a twice Olympic 1,500 champion.
“The fans that I have spoken to have all said it’s pretty positive, they like the fact that you’ve got more stuff happening.”
One change Coe would like to see is the height of the 400m hurdles raised.
“It’s very much a personal view, I’ve spoken to a couple of 400 metre hurdlers and they think that actually, it’s probably something we might want to look at,” he said.
“Because these guys don’t really look like they’re breaking their form very much to (clear the hurdles).”

NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Brunson gave the New York Knicks a $113 million discount in potential salary and they gave him the title of team captain.
Two seasons into a partnership that has helped produce the Knicks' greatest success in a quarter of a century, it's clear the team and player believe in each other. Now they have at least a few more years to determine if it can yield something more.
“This is literally just the beginning,” Brunson said Thursday.
The Knicks staged a ceremonial event at Madison Square Garden for Brunson, complete with former Knicks stars such as Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing and celebrities that included actor and Knicks fan Ben Stiller. Ewing narrated a video that included a picture of him with Brunson as a boy, when his father, Rick, played for the Knicks.
“People just want to be around you, Jalen,” Ewing said on the video. “You’re a born leader.”
That attracted the Knicks to Brunson just as much as his playing skills when they signed him in the summer of 2022. Coach Tom Thibodeau, who had Rick Brunson as one of his assistant coaches in Chicago and again in New York, watched Brunson grow up and noticed not only how hard he worked, but how other players gravitated to him.
But even some of those players couldn't be blamed if they questioned Brunson's financial sense this summer.
He signed a four-year contract extension that is worth about $156.5 million. Had Brunson finished the final year of his current deal next season and then become a free agent, he would have been eligible for a five-year, $269 million contract.
Other players have taken less than their maximum allowable salary. Few would even consider passing on an extra $113 million.
“I think about every decision that I make and I’m completely comfortable with what I’ve done,” Brunson said.
“Obviously I’m well off, myself and my family, we’re obviously well off, so that’s first and foremost. But I want to win. I want to win here.”
Brunson's financial sacrifice certainly helps make that easier, with harsher penalties for teams over the salary cap now part of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. And with the Knicks giving OG Anunoby a five-year deal worth more than $210 million, trading for Mikal Bridges and with Julius Randle also eligible for an extension, it wouldn't be easy to build a winning team and then keep it together, so Brunson doesn't question his decision.
“Winning trumps everything that I do individually,” Brunson said.
The Knicks have started to do that since convincing Brunson to leave the Dallas Mavericks. They have gone to the Eastern Conference semifinals in both seasons, after not getting there at all since 2013, and have won playoff series in back-to-back seasons for the first time since doing it nine straight years from 1992-2000.
Brunson led last season's 50-win team with 28.7 points per game, fourth in the NBA. He made his first All-Star team, finished fifth in the voting for the NBA's MVP award and then was brilliant in the postseason, becoming the first player since Michael Jordan with four straight postseason games of 40 or more points.
Still, Brunson said Thursday all he could think about from last season was breaking his hand in the second half of the Knicks' Game 7 loss to the Indiana Pacers in the second round.
The Knicks have built a team they think they can go further and Brunson is eager to lead it. He said he has studied players such as the Yankees' Derek Jeter and the Patriots' Tom Brady, who guided their franchises to multiple titles and were known for team-first approaches.
“People can say they want to do a lot of things, but it’s all about their actions," Brunson said. "Obviously this is no guarantee that we win a championship, right? This is just me wanting to do my part to help this team try and get one. So it’s all about the journey and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Descendants of William Alexander Ewing
|
http://www.williamalexanderewing.info/home.html
|
William Alexander Ewing was the third generation of our family to be born in south-central Pennsylvania. Cumberland County had been divided to form Perry County in 1820, and that is where William Alexander was born on March 22, 1827. The first child of Ralph and Ann (Reid) Ewing, William grew up in Perry County and learned the skills of tending the land. He stayed with his parents into adulthood, helping to farm his father's land, and is found there in the 1850 census.
In 1855, William Ewing married Rebecca N. Marshall, a Pennsylvania native born in 1838 who would have been about 17 when they married. Rebecca was the oldest child of Joseph and Sarah (Sweger) Marshall, and had four younger siblings: Margaret, Thomas, Robert and Sarah Ellen. Her father, Joseph Marshall, died when she was just ten years old, apparently leaving the family with no way to support itself. The 1850 census showed Sarah Marshall (Rebecca's mother) as the head of the household, living with only two of the children. Rebecca and the other children had been placed with other families nearby.
Shortly after they married, William and Rebecca moved with his parents and family to northern Illinois, settling in Boone County, near Cherry Valley. William's father, Ralph, bought land in Illinois in 1856 which was farmed by William and his brothers. When Ralph died in 1866, he left his farm to his two oldest sons, William and Jesse.
William and Rebecca's first child was born in 1855 in Illinois. Information is limited to what is available in federal census records and a cemetery census at the library in Belvidere, Illinois, which only indicates the child, named George in the federal census, died August 26, 1860 at the age of six years, one month and three days (which does not agree with his age listed in the federal census).
The library record also indicates that two more children born to William and Rebecca died at early ages. Levi died August 19, 1861 at age four years, eight months and 21 days (born about November 29, 1856). Cassius is shown in the library record as the third child buried in the Cherry Valley cemetery. He is indicated to have died on April 2, 1861 at age seven months, 19 days (born about August 14, 1860).
Five other children were born into William and Rebecca's family while they were in Illinois. Elizabeth A., born February 2, 1859; Laura A., born August 15, 1863; Anna L., born June 22, 1865; Myrtle C., born in 1866 (exact date not known); and Grant, born September 15, 1868. These five children were still living when the family moved from Illinois to Kansas in 1870.
By 1870, William Alexander Ewing's parents had died and were buried in Cherry Valley cemetery, as was his brother, Jesse, who died in 1867. Perhaps that influenced William's decision to follow the steady flow of settlers moving westward into the great plains where virgin land was being offered to homesteaders. One of his neighbors, a Lane family, had made the move earlier and settled in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, near what is today the town of Blaine. Once there, Lane urged William and his good friend, Willard Sabin, to join him in Kansas and in the fall of 1869, both decided to follow. When they arrived in Kansas at the beginning of 1870, both William and the Sabin family decided to settle on land further north, near the existing railroad in Marshall County. On February 12, 1870, William Alexander Ewing filed for homestead rights on 80 acres in Wells Township, Marshall County. His younger brother, Cyrus Ewing, filed on land that adjoined on the east and the Sabin family filed for land that was about a mile and a half further east. While the Ewing and Sabin men built their homestead houses, their families stayed in a cabin owned by a man named Sherman, who operated a sawmill on Bluff Creek in Pottawatomie County. By April, 1870, the Ewing family was settled on their new homestead.
Once established in Kansas, William and Rebecca's family continued to grow. Caroline M. Ewing was born in 1871; Sarah E. (Sadie) Ewing was born in 1873; Ira Delos William Ewing in 1875; and John W. Ewing in 1878. In total, twelve children had been born to William and Rebecca. In addition to the three children who died in Illinois, three more died in Kansas. Myrtle died at the age of 14, in 1880, just a week before the death of her mother, Rebecca (died May 18, 1880). Caroline (Carrie) died in 1886 at the age of 15. Then, in 1891, the oldest daughter, Elizabeth (Lizzie), died at the age of 32. She had never married. These children were buried in the family plot at Antioch Cemetery in Marshall County, along with Rebecca and William Alexander who died January 3, 1910.
The children of William and Rebecca (Marshall) Ewing were:
George Ewing, was born shortly after the family moved to Illinois. The cemetery census in the Belvidere library indicates that George died on August 26, 1860, but they had transcribed his age from a well-worn stone and had him listed as over 6 years old. An attempt to verify the information on the grave marker was not successful. The stones for the three young Ewing children in Cherry Valley cemetery are small, badly worn, broken and nearly covered with dirt. The library information didn't have a name for this child, the name was obtained from the 1860 Boone County federal census which showed him as five years old.
Levi Ewing would have been born about November 29, 1856, according to the library information. He died August 19, 1861, at the age of four years, eight months and 21 days.
Elizabeth A. Ewing (Lizzie), born in Illinois February 2, 1859, was described in her father's 1910 obituary as having been crippled by a childhood accident. No other information has been found to verify that. She would have been ten years old when the family left her home state, bound for Kansas. Although she never married, she is not shown as living with her family in the 1885 Kansas census and, I believe, is not in the photo below, thought to have been taken about 1886. Her whereabouts at that time are not known for sure, although the 1885 census shows her living in Blue Rapids with the family of A.E. Sweetland, a merchant in Blue Rapids. According to her obituary which appeared in the May 7, 1891, issue of The Irving Leader, Lizzie had lived in Marshall County until 1890, when she went to live with her sister, Laura, in Auburn, Nebraska. That's where she became ill with "la grippe" which turned into pneumonia and quickly caused her death on April 21, 1891. Her funeral was held in the Antioch schoolhouse and she was buried in Antioch cemetery, near Bigelow, Kansas.
Cassius Ewing is shown in the Belvidere library record as the third Ewing child buried in Cherry Valley cemetery. It indicates he died on April 2, 1861, at age seven months and 19 days, making the birthday about August 14, 1860.
Laura A. Ewing was born August 15, 1863, also in Illinois. Laura lived in Kansas until she married George W. Kent on January 22, 1890. George was an engineer for the railroad so they lived part of the time in Auburn, Nebraska, and part near Concordia, Kansas, where they were living when Laura's father died in 1910. They had a son who died in infancy and one daughter, Ada, born in September, 1895. George Kent died in May, 1913, in Auburn, NE. Laura lived in Auburn until her death in January, 1937. Laura's obituary in The Nemaha County Herald indicated that Ada still lived in Auburn (but didn't list her last name) and also said that Laura had four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Laura and George Kent are both buried in Sheridan cemetery on the west side of Auburn.
Anna L. Ewing, also born in Illinois, June 22, 1865, was shown in the 1900 Kansas census as still unmarried and living at home with her father and two youngest brothers. Sometime after 1901 she went to Nebraska to live with her sister, Laura, then returned to Kansas in 1909 to care for her father in his last few months of life. After his death, Ann lived with Laura near Concordia, Kansas. Although once thought to have never married, a search of records in Auburn, NE, finds that on January 28, 1914, Ann married Robert M. McConnell in Auburn. He passed away in Auburn in 1918 and some time after that Ann must have married again, although no record of a second marriage has been found. She was listed as a survivor in her brother Grant's, 1942 obituary as "Mrs. Ann Brush of East Auburn, Nebraska." She is also listed as Ann Brush McConnell on the grave marker that she shares with her first husband in Auburn's Sheridan cemetery, which indicates that she died in 1942. No further information could be found.
Myrtle C. Ewing (Mertie), another child born in Illinois, in 1866, died at the tender age of 14 of typhoid fever in Kansas in May, 1880, just a week before the death of her mother. She was the first of the children to die in Kansas.
Grant Ewing was born September 15, 1868, in Boone County, Illinois. He was just over a year old when the family moved to Kansas, so lived nearly his entire life in Marshall County. Although his formal education was limited to eight grades at Mt. Zion, later to be Pleasant Valley school, Grant listened closely to the stories of his elders, committing much of it to memory and kept detailed journals in which he recorded events of his lifetime. He developed a keen interest in history and a thorough understanding of nature and the prairie environment where he grew up. Being the oldest boy in the family, Grant learned from his father to work the farm at an early age. But as he grew older, Grant's varied interests drew him in other directions. In 1892 Grant traded a threshing machine to his friend Rod Weeks for a half-interest in a well-drilling rig and worked with him drilling water wells for a year before buying Rod's remaining interest in the rig. By 1895 he had three drilling rigs and was putting down wells throughout the county and into southern Nebraska, gaining enormous knowledge of the area's geology. As early as 1890, Grant began an involvement in journalism when he started writing "personal items" for the newspapers in Frankfort and Irving. He continued to write articles for area newspapers on a freelance basis for most of his adult life. On December 16, 1894, Grant married Carrie Mae Newbury. They settled on a farm about a mile northeast of the Ewing homestead at the western edge of Wells Township. Grant and Mae had four children, two of whom died in infancy. Their daughter, Lena, born in 1898, grew to adulthood and married Miles McMillan in 1916, but she was listed as Mrs. Lena Hansen of Lubbock, Texas, in Grant's 1942 obituary. Lena died in 1985 and her marker in Antioch cemetery identifies her as Lena Uphoff. Grant and Mae's son, Levi, was born April 20, 1901. He joined the U.S. Army in 1919 and was stationed in the Philippine Islands where he died on March 5, 1922, from "dilation of the heart," a condition that surprised his family. Mae died in 1903 and Grant remarried two years later to Margaret Fincham, daughter of another Marshall County pioneer family. Grant and Maggie had three children: Leonard, born May 10, 1907, who married Ellen Schimmel and died 1972 in Richmond, Missouri; Gloria, born July 5, 1913, married Lew Wentz in 1929 and had three children, Duane, Margaret and Betty, and later married Gloyd Zook - she and Gloyd are buried at Antioch; Clair, third child of Grant and Maggie, was born September 20, 1915, and achieved an excellent education, served as a career officer in the Air Force and was instrumental in the development of U.S. rocket and missile technology. Clair married Evelyn Anderson in 1942 and died in Lompoc, California in 1995. Clair and Evelyn had five children: Mike, Kathy, Karen, Patty and Kevin. Grant Ewing's life in Marshall County brought him into contact with a lot of people. He was well known throughout the area. He died September 24, 1942, and is buried in Antioch cemetery.
Caroline M. Ewing was the first of William and Rebecca's children to be born in Kansas. She came along in 1871, shortly after the homestead was established. Carrie grew up on the prairie and died there when she was in her teens, 1886. She was buried in the family plot at Antioch cemetery.
Sarah E. Ewing (Sadie) was born on the Wells Township homestead in 1873. She had been described in early family information as a fiery red-head with a temper that did not get along well with her father and was reported to have been farmed out to another family at an early age. But census records do not indicate that. They show her living at home at least through 1895, when she would have been 22 years old. Marshall County records indicate that she taught at Pleasant Valley school, just a mile from the Ewing homestead, in 1895-96 and at the Reserville school in 1896-97. According to an item in Grant Ewing's newspaper column (written in 1932), Sadie also taught a year at the Scriber school. In the article, Grant states that Sadie attended college where she learned shorthand, typing and telegraphy. Then, after teaching school for three terms, got a job as a telegraph operator and worked in Colorado Springs, Jacksonville (Florida), Seattle, and the capitol of British Columbia, before moving to Idaho. Somewhere along the way, Sadie married W. Chester Benton and was living in Kootenai County, Idaho, in 1910 when her father passed away. Her daughter, Nadine, was born in Idaho in 1907 and it is believed that her descendants still live there.
Ira Delos William Ewing was born July 16, 1875. He was probably named in honor of Ira Sabin, the good family friend and neighbor who came to Kansas with the family from Illinois. Don't know where the "Delos" came from, but the "William" should be obvious. Ira grew up on the homestead, went to school at Pleasant Valley school and remained with his father, helping to farm the land, until he was 25 years old. In 1901 he married Salome Coxley, who had been his neighbor for twelve years. They had ten children, two of whom died at birth, and established the branch of the family that fostered this website. Ira died July 22, 1941, in Topeka, Kansas, and is buried in Rochester cemetery in Topeka. More information about Ira and his branch of the family can be found on the "Newsletters" page of this website.

John Dean (born October 14, 1938, Akron, Ohio, U.S.) is an American lawyer who served as White House counsel (1970–73) during the administration of U.S. Pres. Richard M. Nixon and whose revelation of official participation in the Watergate scandal ultimately led to the resignation of the president and the imprisonment of Dean himself and other top aides.
Dean attended Colgate University (Hamilton, New York) and then the College of Wooster (Ohio), where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1961. He received a law degree from Georgetown University (Washington, D.C.) in 1965. He first joined a law firm in Washington, D.C., and then served in 1966–67 as chief minority (Republican) counsel to the House Judiciary Committee. A two-year tenure as associate director of the National Commission on Reform of Federal Criminal Laws preceded his accepting appointment in the Nixon administration as an associate deputy attorney general. In 1970 the president selected Dean as White House counsel.
Dean first came to national attention in 1972, when Nixon named him to head a special investigation into possible involvement of White House personnel in the Watergate case. As was later revealed, he refused to issue a proposed fictitious report denying a cover-up, and, when implications of White House involvement became stronger, Dean began telling federal investigators what he knew.
Nixon fired Dean on April 30, 1973. Two months later Dean testified publicly before the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, explaining in great detail how White House officials—including the president—had obstructed justice in order to mask their participation in the events following the June 17, 1972, break-in at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Dean was convicted of obstruction of justice and served four months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal. He recounted his role in Watergate in Blind Ambition (1976) and Lost Honor (1982).

American politician
For other uses, see Thomas Ewing (disambiguation).
Thomas Ewing Sr. (December 28, 1789 – October 26, 1871) was a National Republican and Whig politician from Ohio. He served in the U.S. Senate as well as serving as the fourteenth secretary of the treasury and the first secretary of the interior. He is also known as the foster father (and subsequently father-in-law) of famous American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman.
Born in West Liberty, Ohio County, Virginia (now West Virginia), he was the son of American Revolutionary War veteran George Ewing. After studying at Ohio University and reading law under Philemon Beecher, Ewing began practicing law in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1816. In 1824, he was joined in that practice by Henry Stanbery.
As a colorful country lawyer, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1830 as a Whig and served a single term. He was unsuccessful in seeking a second term in 1836. Ewing served as Secretary of the Treasury in 1841, serving under Presidents William Henry Harrison and John Tyler. He resigned on September 11, 1841, along with the entire cabinet (except Secretary of State Daniel Webster), in protest of Tyler's veto of the Banking Act.
Ewing was later appointed to serve as the first Secretary of the Interior by President Zachary Taylor. Ewing served in the position from March 8, 1849 to July 22, 1850 under Taylor and Millard Fillmore. As James G. Blaine later wrote:
Thomas Ewing of Ohio, selected to organize the Department of the Interior, just then authorized by law, was a man of intellectual power, a lawyer of the first rank, possessing a stainless character, great moral courage, unbending will, an incisive style, both with tongue and pen, and a breadth of reading and wealth of information never surpassed by any public man in America.[1]
As first secretary, Ewing consolidated bureaus from various Departments, such as the Land Office from the Treasury Department and the Indian Bureau from the War Department. The bureaus were being kicked out of their offices as unwanted tenants in their former departments. However, the Interior Department had no office space, so Ewing rented space. Later, the Patent Office building, with a new east wing, provided permanent space in 1852. Ewing initiated the Interior Department's culture of corruption by wholesale replacement of officials with political patronage. Newspapers called him "Butcher Ewing" for his efforts.
In 1850, Ewing was appointed to the Senate to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Thomas Corwin, and served from July 20, 1850 – March 3, 1851. Ewing was unsuccessful in seeking re-election in 1850. In 1861, Ewing served as one of Ohio's delegates to the peace conference held in Washington in hopes of staving off civil war. Ewing was a defendant of slavery at this conference, and frequently deflected attacks on the institution by Britain, stating that 'we have no slavery or misery to be compared with that existing in the India provinces.'[2] After the war, Ewing was appointed by President Andrew Johnson to a third cabinet post as Secretary of War in 1868 following the firing of Edwin M. Stanton but the Senate, still outraged at Johnson's firing of Stanton – which had provoked Johnson's impeachment – refused to act on the nomination.
Ewing married Maria Wills Boyle, a Roman Catholic, and raised their children in her faith. His foster son was the famous general William Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman eventually married Thomas Ewing Sr.'s daughter, Ellen Ewing Sherman. Ewing's namesake son, Thomas Ewing Jr., was an American Civil War Union army general and two-term U.S. Congressman from Ohio. Two of Ewing's other sons – Hugh Boyle Ewing and Charles Ewing – also became generals in the Union army during the Civil War. Through Ellen and Sherman, Ewing also had a namesake grandson, Thomas Ewing Sherman.
Ewing was born a Presbyterian, but for many years attended Catholic services with his family. He was formally baptized into the Catholic faith during his last illness.[3]
Ewing remained a Whig following his joining of the party in 1833, even when the national Whig Party collapsed and was replaced by the Republican Party. This makes Ewing one of the only federal politicians to remain a member the Whig Party when many others bolted to the Republican or American parties.
Prior to his death on October 26, 1871, Ewing had been the last surviving member of the Harrison and Tyler Cabinets. Future President and Governor of Ohio Rutherford B. Hayes was a pallbearer at his funeral. He is buried in Saint Mary Cemetery, Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio.

On October 26, 1864, the notorious Confederate guerrilla leader William “Bloody Bill” Anderson is killed in Missouri in a Union ambush.
Born in the late 1830s, Anderson grew up in Missouri and moved to Kansas in the late 1850s. Arriving to settle on his father’s land claim east of Council Grove, Anderson was soon enmeshed in the bitter fight over slavery that gave the area the nickname “Bleeding Kansas.” Before the Civil War, he trafficked stolen horses and escorted wagon trains along the Santa Fe Trail. When the war broke out, Anderson joined an antislavery, pro-Union band of guerillas known as “Jayhawkers.” He soon switched sides and joined a band of pro-Confederate “Bushwhackers.” In the partisan warfare of Kansas and Missouri, these groups were often more interested in robbery, looting, and personal gain than advancement of a political cause.
After his father was killed in a dispute in 1862, Anderson and his brother Jim gunned down the killer and then moved back to western Missouri. Anderson became the head of a band of guerillas, and his activities cast a shadow of suspicion over the rest of his family. The Union commander along the border, General Thomas Ewing, arrested several wives and sisters of another notorious band, led by William Quantrill, that was terrorizing and murdering Union sympathizers. While Anderson commanded his own band, he often collaborated with Quantrill’s larger force. As a result, the group Ewing arrested also included three of Anderson’s sisters, who were imprisoned in a temporary Union jail in Kansas City, Missouri. On August 14, 1863, the structure collapsed, killing one of Anderson’s sisters along with several other women. Quantrill assembled more than 400 men to exact revenge against the abolitionist community of Lawrence, Kansas. On August 21, the band killed at least 150 residents and burned much of the town. Anderson was credited with 14 murders that day.

American general
Thomas Ewing Jr. (August 7, 1829 – January 21, 1896) was an attorney, the first chief justice of Kansas and leading free state advocate, Union Army general during the American Civil War, and two-term United States Congressman from Ohio, 1877–1881.[1] He narrowly lost the 1879 campaign for Ohio Governor.
Early life and career
[edit]
Ewing was born in Lancaster, Ohio. His father, Thomas Ewing Sr., was a very successful lawyer and Whig politician at the national level. Although Ewing Sr. was an Irish Protestant, his wife, Maria Wills Boyle, converted the family to Catholicism. The younger Ewing was a foster brother of William Tecumseh Sherman and became his brother-in-law when Sherman married Ewing's sister, Eleanor "Ellen" Ewing Sherman. Two other brothers were also Civil War generals—Charles Ewing and Hugh Boyle Ewing. Thomas Ewing Jr.'s relationship with Sherman was close throughout their lives.
Thomas Ewing Jr. began his education at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He left Brown University to become private secretary to President Zachary Taylor from 1849 to 1850 (concurrent with his father's term in Taylor's Cabinet). He then studied and practiced law from 1852 to 1856 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated from Cincinnati Law School in 1855.[2]
Ewing married Ellen Cox of Piqua, Ohio, on January 18, 1856. He moved to Leavenworth, Kansas in 1856, where he became a member of the Leavenworth Constitutional Convention of 1858. He was a stockholder and leading advocate of a transcontinental railroad through his early ownership of the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad, which later was sold to other investors and became part of the Union Pacific Railroad. A moderate on the issue of slavery, his efforts to defeat the Lecompton Constitution helped Kansas enter the Union as a free state but without the bloody fight against the federal government advocated by other free state men like James H. Lane and John Brown. He was a delegate from Kansas to the Peace Conference of 1861 and was elected the first chief justice of the new state of Kansas in 1861.
Civil War
[edit]
Ewing resigned his judgeship in 1862 to enter the military. He recruited the 11th Kansas Infantry and was elected as its first colonel. His regiment fought in James G. Blunt's division in the battles of Old Fort Wayne, Cane Hill, and Prairie Grove.
Although he possessed no military experience before the civil war, Ewing was promoted to brigadier general on March 13, 1863, for his leadership at the Battle of Prairie Grove. He was given command of the District of the Border, which comprised Kansas and western Missouri. Ewing was responsible for General Order № 11, issued in retaliation for William Quantrill's raid on Lawrence, Kansas, where 450 raiders shot and killed 150 men and boys.[3] The order commanded that civilians with southern sympathies living in four Missouri counties be expelled, and if they did not leave voluntarily, they would be forced out by Union cavalry. While this was part of an effort to suppress bushwhackers in the region it left a black mark on his legacy.
In September and October 1864, as deputy commander of the St. Louis district under William Rosecrans, Ewing played a major part in thwarting Sterling Price's invasion of Missouri by commanding a successful defense at Fort Davidson at Pilot Knob, Missouri. His command of 1500 heavily outnumbered soldiers (900 effectives)[4] and a few black civilians fought off repeated attacks from a force of about 15,000 Confederates, buying additional time for the Union army to strengthen the defenses around St. Louis. Instead of surrendering, Ewing and his men successfully eluded Price's force during the night and fought a fighting withdrawal to Rolla, Missouri.[5] On February 23, 1865, Ewing resigned to return to civilian life,[6] tendering his resignation directly to his good friend, the President, a month before Lincoln's assassination. On February 24, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Ewing for appointment to the brevet rank of major general of volunteers to rank from March 13, 1865 and the U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination on May 4, 1866.[7]
Postbellum career
[edit]
Although a staunch friend and ally of Abraham Lincoln, when Edwin Stanton engaged in a post-assassination flap with Ewing's brother-in-law William T. Sherman over final surrender terms to the Southern armies, Ewing agreed to represent two of John Ford's (of Ford's theater) employees in the Lincoln conspiracy trials. Through Orville Browning, Ewing's Washington law partner, Dr. Samuel Mudd's family also sought Ewing's legal help. Ewing also represented Samuel Arnold and Edmund Spangler during the trial. Ewing's efforts kept all three men from the gallows, but other conspirators were hanged. For their roles in the assassination, Mudd, Arnold and Spangler were sentenced to federal prison at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas off Key West, Florida.
From 1865 to 1870, Ewing practiced law in Washington, D.C., helping southern interests with his influence in the Johnson Administration. The Ewing family was heavily involved in defending Andrew Johnson against radical impeachment efforts. He declined President Johnson's offers for him to become the Secretary of War during the Tenure in Office crisis. Ewing successfully lobbied the key vote against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson when he convinced his old comrade in arms, Edmund G. Ross of Kansas, to vote against impeachment. Ewing also was successful in obtaining a pardon for Mudd at the end of Johnson's term.
In 1870, he returned to his native Lancaster, Ohio, where he practiced for the next decade and attempted several business investments in railroads and telegraph companies. Ewing was a member of the Ohio state Constitutional Convention of 1873 – 74.
Congress
[edit]
In 1876, he was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives and was re-elected in 1878, serving in the 45th and 46th Congresses from 1877 until 1881. He prepared the bill establishing a Bureau of Labor Statistics, opposed the presence of U.S. soldiers at election polling places, and favored the re-monetization of silver and the continuation of the use of Greenback currency, becoming one of the leading national spokesmen for the Greenback Party.
Campaign for governor
[edit]
In 1879, Ewing was defeated for election for Governor of Ohio as the Democratic candidate in a close election. There is scholarly controversy whether the use of George Caleb Bingham's painting General Order № 11 in the anti-Ewing campaign made the difference in the election.[8]
On March 3, 1881, Ewing closed his second term as representative in Congress and moved to New York to resume his law career. He never ran for office again.
Later career
[edit]
Ewing was founder and first president of the Ohio Society of New York, a trustee of Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home (1874–78), and a trustee of Ohio University (1878–83). He served as Vice President of the Cincinnati Law School in 1881. Ewing made a notable address before the Marietta Centennial Convention of 1887, and one before the Kansas state bar association in 1890. He also contributed an article entitled "The Struggle for Freedom in Kansas" to The Cosmopolitan in May 1894. Brown University, by special vote in 1894, gave him the bachelor's degree dating back to the class of 1856. Georgetown College gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1870. Ewing was killed when struck by a New York City omnibus driver in 1896.[9] He is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Yonkers, New York.

****************
Beginning in his own hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader through an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history, and ourselves.
It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving over 400 people on the premises. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned maximum security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.
In a deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country’s most essential stories are hidden in plain view-whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods—like downtown Manhattan—on which the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women and children has been deeply imprinted.
Informed by scholarship and brought alive by the story of people living today, Clint Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark work of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.
“A moving and perceptive survey of landmarks that reckon, or fail to reckon, with the legacy of slavery in America... this is an essential consideration of how America’s past informs its present.”―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“[A] devastating portrait with unforgettable details…a brilliant, vital work about ‘a crime that is still unfolding.’” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“[A] powerful and diligent exploration of the realities and ongoing consequences of slavery in America.”―Booklist (starred review)
“Clint Smith’s gifts as both a poet and a scholar make How the Word Is Passed a richly provocative read about places where the story of American slavery lives on...[it] succeeds in making the essential distinction between history and nostalgia."—Bookpage (starred review)
“Poet and journalist Clint Smith’s debut examines the legacy of slavery in modern America…bringing the past into light with lyrical mastery.” — Buzzfeed
“Smith reveals and makes present for his readers the profoundly disturbing truths of what transpired in these places, of the systemic and strategic violence and abuse that enabled the society in which we now live… The book doesn’t simply bring news of the past; it seeks to convey the urgency of that news in our troubled present.” — Harper’s
“Smith tells his stories with the soul of a poet and the heart of an educator. Smith’s ambitious book is fueled by a humble sense of duty: he sought the wisdom of those who tell of slavery’s legacy “outside traditional classrooms and beyond the pages of textbooks”; public historians who “have dedicated their lives to sharing this history with others.” Smith channels the spirit of Toni Morrison here; the writer as one to pass on the word so that it is never forgotten.”―The Millions
“Smith forces us to reconsider what we think we know about American history.”―Time
“Sketches an impressive and deeply affecting human cartography of America’s historical conscience…an extraordinary contribution to the way we understand ourselves.” Julian Lucas, New York Times Book Review
“Part of what makes this book so brilliant is its bothandedness. It is both a searching historical work and a journalistic account of how these historic sites operate today. Its both carefully researched and lyrical. I mean Smith is a poet and the sentences in this book just are piercingly alive. And it’s both extremely personal—it is the author’s story—and extraordinarily sweeping. It amplifies lots of other voices. Past and present. Reading it I kept thinking about that great Alice Walker line ‘All History is Current’.” — John Green
“The summer’s most visionary work of nonfiction is this radical reckoning with slavery, as represented in the nation’s monuments, plantations, and landmarks.” —Adrienne Westenfeld, Esquire
“What [Smith] does, quite successfully, is show that we whitewash our history at our own risk. That history is literally still here, taking up acres of space, memorializing the past, and teaching us how we got to be where we are, and the way we are. Bury it now and it will only come calling later." —USA Today
“Both an honoring and an exposé of slavery’s legacy in America and how this nation is built upon the experiences, blood, sweat and tears of the formerly enslaved.” —The Root
“The detail and depth of the storytelling is vivid and visceral, making history present and real. Equally commendable is the care and compassion shown to those Smith interviews — whether tour guides or fellow visitors in these many spaces. Due to his care as an interviewer, the responses Smith elicits are resonant and powerful…Smith deftly connects the past, hiding in plain sight, with today's lingering effects.” — Hope Wabuke, NPR
“Smith understands well that the narrative-formation that gives slavery its legacy and power is happening every day. By tour guides and curators and teachers. By the formerly-incarcerated. By those repositories of knowledge rarely considered as what they truly are: society’s historians on the frontline…enthralling and engaging.” — Kamil Ahsan, Boston Globe
“James Baldwin wrote that history 'is literally present in all that we do'; Smith’s book illuminates that reality for slavery in America, interrogating the lies we tell ourselves and helping us see clearly so that we can chart a new path towards justice."—Ploughshares
“Inspired by the destruction of Confederate monuments in his native New Orleans, a poet takes to the road, plotting a journey that winds into the past, from Monticello to New York City to Louisiana’s notorious Angola prison, drilling deep into the bedrock of our racist past.” — Oprah Daily
“A powerful, timely book, one that we should all read over and over again, marking up the pages as we go.” — Bitch
“Stop by stop, Smith weaves a tapestry of willful ignorance before pointing the way toward improvement.” — Stuart Miller, Los Angeles Times
“This is a brave and important book that needed to be written and demands to be read.” —David Takami, Seattle Times
“Smith reveals and makes present for his readers the profoundly disturbing truths of what ‘transpired in these places, of the systemic and strategic violence and abuse that enabled the society in which we now live… The book doesn’t simply bring news of the past; it seeks to convey the urgency of that news in our troubled present.” — Claire Messud, Harper’s
“In this tremendously researched and fascinating book, Smith examines various sites in the United States (North as well as South) and Dakar, Senegal to uncover forgotten or suppressed histories that reveal the lengths to which we must confront our past in order to be a freer and more just society.” — New York Observer
"This book is a beautiful, painful tour of some of the darkest and most complicated parts of American history that will make readers rethink the truth being told about the sins of our past that are still very much alive in the present." — The Daily Beast
“Clint Smith’s How the Word is Passed is a book for this moment. At once a deeply researched history of American slavery and a very contemporary look at the grim legacy of its manifold cruelties (and how they are memorialized in plain sight), every high school senior in the country should have a copy of How the Word is Passed, the better to understand that ‘yes this is who we are’.” — Lit Hub
“Clint Smith chronicles in vivid and meditative prose his travels to historical sites that are truth-telling or deceiving visitors about slavery. Humans enslaved Black people, and then too often enslaved history. But How the Word Is Passed frees history, frees humanity to reckon honestly with the legacy of slavery. We need this book.” ―Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning
"In this stunning book, Clint Smith takes readers on a necessary journey. Like the best of the tour guides he meets, he tells us the truth with conviction and compassion, and he has much to teach, both about the history of slavery across America and about how to pass the word on." ―W. Caleb McDaniel, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sweet Taste of Liberty
“A work of moral force and humility, How the Word is Passed offers a compelling account of the history and memory of slavery in America. Writing from Confederate Army cemeteries, former plantations, modern-day prisons, and other historical sites, Clint Smith moves seamlessly between past and present, revealing how slavery is remembered and misremembered—and why it matters. Engaging and wise, this book combines history and reportage, poem and memoir. It is a deep lesson and a reckoning.”―Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer prize-winning author of Evicted
“A beautifully written, evocative, and timely meditation on the way slavery is commemorated in the United States.” ―Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello
“Clint Smith has given us a new lens for seeing the spaces we inhabit, the stories they tell, and the people who tell those stories. How the Word is Passed sheds light on the contested narratives beneath the surface of our collective national identity, inviting us to dig a little deeper, reminding us never to take received histories for granted.”―Eve L. Ewing, author of 1919 and Ghosts in the Schoolyard
“There is perhaps no greater challenge than convincing a nation to remember what it would rather choose to forget. Clint Smith, one of our most thoughtful writers and thinkers, skillfully documents how echoes of enslavement remain everywhere...How the Word Is Passed is a vital, desperately-needed contribution to that reckoning.”―Wesley Lowery, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author of They Can’t Kill Us All

CHAPTER 12
THOMAS E WING
Ewing Family Lineage: William-James
Thomas EWING was a nice name to have if you lived in Ohio. Honorable Thomas E WING of Lancaster, was a senator from Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury under Harrison, and the United State's first Secretary of the Interior under Taylor. He and his wife, Maria BO YLE, raised, and were later parents-in-law of the great Civil War general, William Tecumseh S HERMAN.
Many of our Thomas' descendants have wanted to claim him as their ancestor. It would be nice, but of course he is not. The two were contemporaries, however. Our Thomas was born on the 30th of July 1788, and Hon. Thomas 14 months later, on the 28th of September 1789. They were born not too awfully far apart - our Thomas on the banks of Swago Creek, in what was then Greenbrier County, Virginia and Hon. Thomas was born 150 miles or so north of there, at West Liberty, in what was then Ohio County, Virginia.
That Thomas' parents were George and Rachel (HARRIS) EW ING, George being of the Greenwich, New Jersey branch of the Ewing family, descending from Finley EWI NG. If there is any relationship between those Ewings and ours, it goes back way to the other side of the Atlantic and long before our James was born.
One thing that some of our Ewings did have in common with Hon. Thomas was that they worked with him at the Kanawha Salt Works across, and up, river from Gallipolis, Ohio. Hon. Thomas went through life called the "Salt Boiler" for his years spent there, 1809, again in 1810 and 1812.
While our Thomas did not achieve the national prominence of the other Thomas Ewing, he was not without importance in his own little community of Huntington Township, Gallia County, Ohio. It is unknown if our Thomas had a formal education, but he had excellent penmanship, and was called on to use it as Clerk of the school board in Huntington Township and he was Justice of the Peace there for several years in the 1820s and 1830s.
Early in the 1900s a cousin, Clyde EDW ARDS bought the old Thomas Ewing farm near Ewington and in demolishing the ancient log house found a little packet of papers, folded and tied with a piece of linen string. The papers were some that Thomas himself had written or that concerned him, and that he deemed worthy of preserving. Clyde gave the packet to his sister, Hannah EDW ARDS to send to A.E. E WING. I now have the papers and string tucked away for safekeeping.
One of the papers is dated 13 Nov 1809 and is signed by Val. WHI TE, Clerk of the 81st Regiment of Bath Co. Virginia militia. It exempted Thomas from militia duty "on account of a lameness in his foot." On the reverse side the exemption was later reconfirmed in Gallia County, "Examined and Approved," dated 26 September 1812, and signed by Sam'l R. HOL COMB, Col., 3 Regiment lst B Division.
Thomas followed his sister Elizabeth into the cabin on Swago Creek by 17 months and 15 days. As the eldest of the 10 sons of William and Mary he probably had a major part in seeing that the farm produced to feed all those mouths.
In the Spring of 1810, the family was immersed in preparations for the move from the mountains and the Greenbrier to Ohio. It suddenly occurred to Thomas, then 21, that he was not going anywhere without a certain lady, also 21, by his side. She was Anstis KELL ISON, daughter of a neighbor, Daniel K ELLISON, and his wife ( her name is unknown).
On 6 April 1810, Thomas appeared before the clerk of Bath County at Warm Springs and took out a marriage bond. Anstis' brother, Edward KE LLISON, went surety on the bond, and Daniel gave consent for his daughter to marry, with Edward witnessing that consent.
Reverend John PIN NELL performed the ceremony that made Thomas and Anstis one on the 10th of April 1810.
In the 1810 Bath County census, Thomas was listed as the head of a household of himself and a female 16 to 26 years of age. Shortly after that census the Ewings, and several other families, headed for Ohio.
About the same time as the Ewing arrival in Ohio, Huntington was formed as a township from Raccoon Township. That happened on 5 June 1810. On the last Saturday of July in 1810 the men of the township gathered at the home of Stephen and Susannah HOLCOMB for election purposes, and Thomas was the 17th of 18 to cast a vote.
Thomas chose land in Section 2, in the northeasternmost corner of the township, 80 acres, the east half of the southeast quarter. He immediately set about building a house. It was, as all in that area were then, of logs. It was roomy and well built and it served as his, and Anstis' home through all their years.
Within a few years Thomas also acquired the quarter section adjoining his 80 acres on the east - 160 acres in Section 1, the southwest quarter with Strong's Run Creek coursing through it on its way to Raccoon Creek. It was the very southwestern most corner of those 160 acres that he gave over as a plot for a family cemetery as early as 1818 when his and Anstis' infant, Rebecca, was born and died. It may have been earlier, for it is believed that one of the three unmarked graves is that of Mary Hughes MC NEILL, grandmother of Thomas.
Of the 17 marked graves in the cemetery, there are 16 Ewings - and one OIL ER, Fred, who was in Co. K of the 27th OVI, not one of "us." The 17 burials span a period of about 100 years. The last to be buried there was Thomas Ewing SPR OUSE in 1913.
Even with the addition of the 160 acres to his farm, Thomas and his family remained on the 80 acres in the comfortable log house that was home. Here Thomas and Anstis raised nine of their 10 children and several grandchildren as well. Three of the grandchildren; Sanford VI ERS, Thomas Jefferson EWING, 21, and Mary MANNER ING, 18, were listed with them in the 1860 census. At that time Thomas was worth $2,800/$250.
Fifty-six years of marriage ended on 21 June 1866 when Anstis died at the age of 78. She was buried in the little plot in the corner of their 160 acres.
At the time of her death, their children had for the most part either died or scattered. Sarah MA NNERING, Rebecca I, and her namesake Rebecca VI ERS, Samuel and Zeruiah GL ASSBURN were all deceased. John JO RDAN had gone to Missouri, Anstis S PROUSE lived in Wilkesville, Ohio and Margaret LE ONARD lived in Fostoria, Ohio. Only Elizabeth P EDEN and Mary - "Polly," were still in Huntington Township. Elizabeth, by then a widow, on a farm next to Thomas, and Mary, who had never married, still at home. After her mother's death, Mary took over the household and cared for Thomas in his declining years.
On 29 February 1938, U.B.G. E WING (21-3-2), son of Dr. Gilbert A. EW ING, who was born in Ewington and lived there, recalled for A. E. EWING what he could of his "Uncle Tommy, the famous marksman."
"Uncle Tom was taller than the others and fairly slender, but cannot recall his features. He often read his Bible, always with uncovered heard, even when out of doors in the shade of an apple tree. Aunt Polly kept house for him, may have remained a spinster to do so, yet he rubbed it in on her in introducing her. 'This is my Polly, an old maid who never got married.
"Uncle Tom did not have but a very small beard, think he was somewhat bald. He used a cane, told us mostly of shooting bears, once only wounded one and had to reload his gun on the run, then turned on it and shot it."
U.B.G. wrote again about Uncle Tommy a year later, on the 13th of April 1939:
"Uncle Tommy sparce built, only slightly stooped, height perhaps 5 ft., 8 or 9 inches, weight about 140 to 145, hair rather thin and tousled, neither long nor shingled, sandy gray beard, short and scattering, thickest on chin, 1/2 to 2 inches long on chin and angle of jaws, high cheek bones, cheeks more gaunt, built rather for climbing, walked with a cane.
"I may have seen him hoeing his garden, but can't say about his using mechanical tools nor singing or whistling but often reading his Bible or a few other books or the weekly paper, the Gallipolis Journal. Was full of bear, deer and other hunting stories. Father was his physician, also his administrator. I don't remember his children, except Mrs. Peden and Aunt Polly who remained single and kept house for him. She smoked a clay pipe on a cane stem. He always introduced her to a stranger by 'This is my Polly, an old maid who never got married'."
In the 1870 census Thomas was listed as 81 and infirmed. As for his worth, while he had $2,000 in chattel worth, his value in real estate had dropped from $2,800 in 1860 to $500. Apparently in his last years, Thomas sold off most of his property. In the atlas of 1874, the year he died, the 80 acres show up as belonging to his nephew, Dr. Gilbert A. EWING, George's son and the 160 acres as belonging to A.R. MARTI NDALE (section #4). A.R. (Alvin) built a large frame house on the land.
Eventually - about 1879, Isaac EWI NG acquired the 80 acres and moved into the log cabin with his bride. About 1899 he also acquired the 160 acres next door from the then-owner, a cousin, Niles Quincy MARTI NDALE, son of A.R. and his wife Julia Ann HOWELL. He moved his family into the frame house and the old log home Thomas had built so many years before, became one of several barns on the farm.
Isaac and his wife are among the latter-day burials in the little family plot in the corner of Section 1, and for a time it was called Isaac's Burial Field. Although the official name is Ewing Cemetery.
After Isaac's death in 1910, Clyde EDWA RDS, also a cousin, acquired the 80 acres and the old log cabin. It was in tearing down the old structure to replace it with a new home that he found the papers, in perfect condition, which Thomas had wrapped in linen string nearly a century before. They had slipped between the punched-on flooring.
In 1917, William Granville CA STO and his family arrived in Ewington from West Virginia. They liked the looks of the 160 acres on Abney Road, and bought them and the large frame house thereon. Thus they became latter-day custodians of the tiny Ewing plot in the corner of the 160 acres. In 1943 a daughter of the Castos, Naomi, married William Playford EW ING (21-2-2-4-3) a grandson of Isaac EW ING, and their son, John Grant C A STO, married in 1937 one of our DODR ILLs, Ruth Pauline (11-8-1-7-4). John and Ruth's grandson, Timothy Grant CAS TO, 25, who also lives on Abney Road, has taken on the care of the little cemetery, and goes down two or three times each summer to mow it, and to replace flags.
Timothy was not aware until I told his mother last year - (26 November 1983) that the gravestones of William and Mary McNeill Ewing, he was taking care of, were those of his great-great-great-great-great-grandparents. Timothy had no idea he was a Ewing. Timothy is a descendant of Indian John also.
The current owner of the 160 acres is William and Cora's son, James A. CA STO.
In the meantime, the 80 acre plot to the west, which Clyde Edwards had bought after Isaac Ewing died in 1910, had become the property of the BOSTERS and eventually William G. Casto bought those too. So, once again the two farms were one!
The end came for Thomas on the 27th or 28th of May 1874. He was 84 years old and had a stroke - paralysis says the record. He and Anstis and their infant daughter Rebecca share a tombstone in Ewing Cemetery.

12-1 JOHN JORDAN EWING
Ewing Family Lineage: Thomas-William-James
Thomas and Anstis had 10 Children - but eight of them were daughters, and of the two sons, only John was destined to have a large family and sons and grandsons to carry on the Ewing name.
John did not know it at the time of his birth, 22 July 1811, but his progeny were to take up nearly half of the Thomas Ewing chapter in this book, with his nine siblings and their progeny taking up the other half.
John was born about a year after his parents' arrival on the Raccoon Creek in Huntington Township, and all he knew in his growing up years were those 80 acres his father had in Section 2 and the 160 additional acres Thomas acquired in Section 1. John soon became second in command on that large farm. There was no third in command (only sisters) until Samuel came along in 1823 when John was 12. By the time Samuel could help, John had it all under control.
And then Elizabeth Amelia VIE RS came into his life. The Viers family had been around Ewington and Vinton for a long time - about as long as the Ewings. John VIE RS was from Virginia and had a large family in Huntington Township and there would be at least three marriages between the Viers and the Ewings at the years progressed. But it was not until he was about 22 that John Jordan Ewing began to think of Elizabeth Amelia Viers as his future wife. Elizabeth, born in Virginia on the 28th of January 1816, was about 17 at the time. A few months later, on 13 February 1834 they stood before the Reverend Hiram R. HOW E to say their marriage vows.
The newlyweds started married life right where John had always lived, in the household of his parents, in the roomy, comfortable log cabin on the 80 acres. All eleven of John and Elizabeth's children were born there.
The last of them, Samuel, came along in June 1855. Shortly thereafter, John and Elizabeth began to make plans to join the westward migration. Their destination was the same place that two of John's cousins, John Ewing H OWELL and his wife, Electa E WING (Chapter #4 and #13) had gone to earlier, Clark County, Missouri.
By that time John and Elizabeth's eldest daughter, America, had married William T ERRY, they had lost two sons, Andrew and Lafayette by drowning, and son Thomas, then 18, chose to remain with his grandparents. So there were only seven children in the Ewing wagon. America and William were with the party, though, as they too were going to Missouri to make their home.
In the 1860 census the Ewings were in Jefferson Township, Clark County, Missouri, John a farmer, worth -?$400. Listed next to them was the husband of John Howell's deceased daughter Jane, James Madison ARN OLD.
Not long after that census, the Ewings moved on. John's greener pastures were in Putnam County, Missouri - three counties west. Their farm was in Elm Township in the section of Putnam County then called East End, or sometimes Low Ground. The towns of Martinstowns, Graysville and Greentop were in this area, near the Sheridan River, which separated Putnam from Schuyler County. This was to be their home for the rest of their years.
Soon after arriving in Putnam County, John founded a little church which he called Holiness Church, which he was minister. His youngest son, Timothy, remembered this incident and passed it down through the family:
Timothy was 10 or 11. One Sunday morning he was walking home from church after the service with his father, and John asked the lad, "Well, Timmy, how did I sound this morning?"
Timothy was at that age of speaking without thinking and he blurted out, "Well, Father, if I had been just over a hill and couldn't have seen you, I would have thought it was a jackass braying." Timothy remembered saying that - and the hazelnut switching he got across the legs when he got home!
John and Elizabeth gave more than their share to their country during its dark hours of 1861-1865. They sent five sons off to war - and only two returned.
In their declining years, John and Elizabeth must have wondered, "Where did all the family go?" John was killed in an accident about 1879, Thomas had been killed in battle, Andrew and Lafayette had drowned as youngsters, Margaret had died about 1870, Hugh and George died during the war and Samuel had been killed in a fight. Only America, William and Timothy were still living - and America was in Arkansas. It fell to William and Timothy, still nearby, to give them attention in their old age. John died 6 August 1888 and Elizabeth 10 years later, on 24 May 1899. They are buried at Greentop Cemetery, Putnam County, Missouri.

12-1-1 AMERICA JANE E WING
Ewing Family Lineage: John-Thomas-William-James
I took a shine to this cousin at the start, because of her name, I guess. I had almost nothing on her, only scant information contained in two letters to A.E. EWING from a granddaughter, Ova PO WELL, and neither did any of the descendants of her two brothers, William and Timothy. Nothing!
But I was not going to let America go without trying my best. She had sparked my curiosity even more than any of the other elusive cousins, and I gave her the big push. It has taken more years, work, letter writing, "search" telephone calls, pouring over microfilm and microfiche, wading through books, etc. More was done than you can imagine, but I think I have finally got the story of America Jane Ewing pretty much together, I mean considering what there was to go on at the beginning.
It would have been great to have known America. She went through life as "Meck," she was a tiny person, she smoked a clay pipe, she had four husbands, and she lived to be at least 78 years old. (11/94 - Mary W OODS mother, Mildred Carl JACKS ON said that someone who was courting one of America Janes daughters was to have said, "A man could be more interested in the mother than the daughters." Mildred also says of her great-grandmother, she had sandy colored hair, was small and slender. BP)
America was born 25 March 1835 at Ewington, Gallia County, Ohio, the first grandchild to come into the cabin of Thomas and Anstis. Twenty years later (lacking two weeks) on 11 March 1855, America and William Bennett T ERRY were married in that cabin.
William was born in Ohio in 1833. He was the brother of Mary TE RRY who married Addison Blair E WING (15-4). Apparently the Terrys lost their parents early. In the 1850 census there was just William, Mary and a brother, Abner, living in Wilkesville, Ohio. There were several taxpayers by the name of TER RY in Gallia and Jackson Counties in the 1820s. The ones in Wilkesville Township were Abner, David, Gresham, Paul and Paul Jr. One of those might have been William's father.
(11/94 - per Mary WOOD of Palmdale: Paul and Bethia TERRY had a son David TERRY who married Mariah ROBERTS. David and Mariah TERRY were the parents of William Bennet TERRY. William had a sister Mary Bethina who married Leland ROBERTS her first cousin. The Mary TERRY who married Addison Blair EWING mentioned in the preceeding paragraph may have been a cousin. BP)
Before the wedding William went out to Missouri to prepare their home. Apparently his chosen land was in Schuyler County, where his Terry kin also went. It is unsure if they were in Schuyler County, Missouri during the time of the 1860 census, but they were there in 1862 for that is where, and when, William enlisted for service during the War Between the States.
William Bennett Terry is the only soldier in this entire book who signed up under the Confederate flag!
William enlisted on the 20th of July 1862, as a private in Company B, Clark's Missouri Infantry, Confederate States of America. He did not serve very long - less than four months - but that time spent as a "Johnny Rev" sets him very much apart from the other Civil War soldiers in this book, all of whom served under the American flag. William and America named their son, born in 1861, Jefferson Davis. (11/94 - per Mary WOOD: William and America had another son, John Jordan TERRY. BP)
Also, because Confederate soldiers and their widows were not allowed pensions, there is no pension file as a means of further information about William and his family. William was discharged on the 9th of November 1862 on a Surgeon's Certificate of Disability. It was apparently TB.
And that tuberculosis was bad enough to make William and his family leave Missouri and seek a better climate. At sometime between 1866 and 1870, William, America and their three children left Schuyler County, Missouri in favor of War Eagle Township, Madison County, Arkansas, (their post office was Huntsville, Arkansas) in the northwest corner of Arkansas, almost on top of Oklahoma. They were there in the 1870 census.
But William did not have very long there. He was only 39 years old when he died of TB in 1872.
America was then 37. She had four children, 16, 13, 6 and 1 and was miles away from her family.
She carried on and not long after, about 1874, she married Robert D AVIS, about whom absolutely nothing is know, except that he sired America's fifth, Hiram Cantrell DAVI S, born in 1876.
As near as can be figured out, Robert died about 1877, and the following year America married George L. C AUSEY, who had been previously married and had children who were with George and America in the 1880 census. In 1880, they were listed in War Eagle Township, Madison County, Arkansas.
Strangely, when Ova POWELL sent A.E. EWING the brief material on America's life, she never mentioned this forth marriage, only the other three and yet George may have been the father of an elusive son of America's, Joseph. She was said to have had a son Joseph, and in the 1900 census she turns up with having had six children, five then living. Only five of those six are accounted for in various censuses. The premise is, then, that this Joseph was born after the 1880 census and had left the home by the time of the 1900 census. If he were born after 1880 he would have to have been a Causey.
George and America did not have long together. George died somewhere between 1880 and 1883.
(11/94 - per Mary WOOD: America did have three husbands, William Bennett TERRY, Robert DAV IS, and Harvey F ARRIS. Geroge CAUSEY married America Jane, but family folk lore indicates that he failed to mention that he was already married. She was widowed by each husbands' death. Mr. Causey brought two sons to the marriage, and the children told America that their mother was living. It is not known whether there was a divorce from Mr. Causey, an annulment or what. There was not a legal marriage if he already had a wife. BP)
Soon thereafter, America went back to Missouri to visit her parents. She took at least one of her sons, Hiram, with her. John and Elizabeth Ewing lived in Elm Township, Putnam County, Missouri. Across the river, in Schuyler County lived her brother-in-law, Harvey A. F ARRIS. Harvey had been married to America's younger sister, Margaret, and had married and been widowed again after Margaret's death, about 1870.
America, 49, and Harvey, 46, were married in Missouri in 1884. Harvey was born in October 1838 in Kentucky, and may have been the son of Dudley FARR IS, born in 1812 in Kentucky and who was found in the 1870 Schuyler County census.
America and Harvey went to Arkansas, but 8 year old Hiram remained in Missouri with his uncle, William EWING, who took care of him from then on.
By the time of the 1900 census, Harvey and America had moved to Prairie Township of Madison County, Arkansas. Harvey was a boot and shoemaker. There were just the two of them. It was the same in the 1910 census. America's address in 1913 was Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas, and Springdale is where America's daughter, Frances Terry POW ELL, and her family lived. America spent her last years with the Powells. It was from Springdale in 1913 that America sent a contribution to the Mary McNeill Ewing Memorial Fund - $1.00 for herself, 50 cents for her daughter Frances and 50 cents for granddaughter Madge C ARRELL.
Harvey died in Springdale around 1913. He is buried in Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas.
(11/94 - Mary WOOD's records show that America Jane lived with the Powell's after 1910 until her death in 1917 which occurred in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She is buried in the Powell Plot in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. BP)
In 1923 Frances died in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and she is buried in the Powell plot.

"Grandma (America Jane) had an awful time during the Civil War. She was a young woman, still in her twenties, with three tiny children to care for. Both sides were raiding. One time the Northern Cavalry stole her beautiful mare and her brothers (all Northern soldiers) were afraid to steal her back again, so she, herself, went to the Colonel and asked for her horse.

12-1-1-1 MARY JOS EPHINE TER RY
EWING FAMILY LIENAGE: America-John-Thomas-William-James
The story coming up is more that of Mary's husband than of Mary herself. But because James Franklin L EDBETTER, better known on the Oklahoma frontier as "Uncle Bud," was such an illustrious figure and his life so exciting, it just seems right to add his colorful story to the Ewing annals.
James was referred to in an article about him as "Bullet-Proof Bud." He received not one single scratch in all his years of fighting outlaws. The story of his life was published in the 1974 edition of "PERSONS AND PLACES OF INDIAN TERRITORY" by C.W. WE ST. It is going to be difficult to condense the 17 page account of his exploits as a law enforcement officer in the then lawless west, to a few paragraphs for this book. "If you had lived in Indian Territory at the turn of the century, or Oklahoma 50 years ago, you certainly would have known of James Franklin Ledbetter, better known as "Uncle bud." He was so well known and feared so deeply that in many cases all he had to do was to send word to an outlaw that he would come after him if he did not give himself up. Such a threat often caused the law-breaker to come in of his own volition. He was loved and respected so much that in all my research I have not found a derogatory remark concerning him or any scandal associated with his name. He was honored by outstanding law enforcement representatives and the electorate repeatedly. Last but not least, he was a great big, soft-hearted grandfather to his descendants in spite of the many cares of his occupation."
Mary and James were married the 28th of June 1874, in Madison County, Arkansas. James was born 15 December 1852 and was a native of Madison County, War Eagle Township, Arkansas. Mary, born 27 March 1856 in Missouri, had moved with her family to War Eagle Township in the Boston Mountains when she was about 10 or 12. James was the son of another James Franklin LEDBETTER and his wife, Sabrina R EEVES, called "Tennessee" for the state of her and her husband's nativity.
James' parents died when he was 18 years old in 1870, and he left War Eagle in favor of Oklahoma Indian Territory, where he got a job as a guard for the Wells Fargo Express Company at Webber's Falls, Oklahoma.
But in 1872 he returned to War Eagle and began farming. Two years later he and Mary were married and thus began the marriage of a devoted couple that lasted until her death 56 years later.
In the ensuing three years the couple had two children, George Washington and America Jane - "Dolly." About 1877 they moved next door to Coal Hill, Johnson County, Arkansas - on the Arkansas River.
Placid enough so far, right? but then one day James drove into Coal Hill, a little mining community to get supplies. He was wearing a natty white linen suit. "After taking care of his needs," we are told, "he strolled into one of the many saloons where a group of town bullies, who had imbibed liberally, had gathered. They thought they had a 'dude' in their midst and began making snide remarks and fingering Bud's suit. His steel blue eyes, that were to become so famous, took on an unusual glint. He strode out of the saloon without a word, and went to a hardware store down the street, where he bought an axe handle. Upon returning to the saloon, he entered, locked the door, and began to 'educate' the jeering crowd. Within a short time a number of the group was lying on the floor unconscious, with others cowering behind the counter and under tables.
"When the commotion was heard by a passerby, an attempt was made to gain entrance. When this failed, the mayor was summoned, who, with the help of other citizens, forced the door open. Bud was leaning against the bar, axe handle in his hand, glaring at the mayor and his associates with those eyes - which were to be referred to later as 'eagle eyes', as if to inquire, 'what are you going to do about it?' There was a moment of frustration on the part of the mayor. After gathering his composure, he ordered the room cleared of the 'bums' muttering that they would have 'to get to the bottom of the affair.' When the city fathers did 'get to the bottom of the affair,' the result was that they offered Bud the job of town marshal."
James accepted and proceeded to clean up the town. So effective were his activities that the county sheriff offered him a job as one of his deputies. James filled this position for 14 years, during which time he gained himself a reputation for being able to deal with a criminal peacefully, and how to ferret him out of his den or track him down.
Eventually things got too quiet in Johnson County, Arkansas for "Uncle Bud" and he headed for Muskogee in Indian Territory. In 1894 he signed up with Wells Fargo to act as a guard on trains carrying payroll between Oswego, Kansas and Checotah, Oklahoma.
One of the biggest events of that year - and in fact of Uncle Bud's entire eventful career, was what went down in local history as the Blackstone Switch holdup. A gang led by the notorious Texas Jack shunted a train to a siding at Blackstone Switch, a few miles north of Muskogee. What the gang did not know was that Uncle Bud and two other men were riding guard on the $60,000 in gold bullion and silver Texas Jack was after.
The outlaws surrounded the stalled train. In the ensuing battle passengers were robbed of money, jewels, and watches and the baggage coach was blown up, but Uncle Bud got his man, wounding Texas Jack severely enough for the latter to call a halt and retreat with his men in the night.
Eventually all the members of the gang were tracked down and sent to the penitentiary. Texas Jack was given a five-year sentence and paroled after a year. He became an evangelist, preaching the consequences of sin and crime all over the southwest.
The U.S. Marshal in the territory was S. Morton RUTH ERFORD. In 1895 he approached James and asked him to be a deputy marshal. James accepted and was sworn in on the 5th of June 1895. His activities in the years ahead included helping to prevent a lynching; single-handedly taking Jim MC ALFORD who had terrorized citizens of Porum; stemming an outbreak of feuding at Indian stomp dances; bringing in the TURNER GANG and single-handedly capturing Al JEN NINGS - the last of the train robbers and big time outlaws. Al had been a U.S. Marshal himself, but turned outlaw - only to reform after his arrest and preach the "crime does not pay" gospel. Years later, after Uncle Bud's death, Al and former Deputy Marshal Ted CO OPER made a special trip to Muskogee to pay homage to Uncle Bud by placing a wreath on his grave.
James served as town marshal of Vinita between 1897 and 1903 - the quietest years of his life, and then went to Okmulgee, the capital of the Creek Nation, in the same capacity. On the 1st of January 1904, he became a deputy marshal under Leo E. BEN NETT, with headquarters at Muskogee. This was at a time when race riots haunted Muskogee, but Uncle Bud was equal to the task of quelling them. In 1909, with Oklahoma on the verge of statehood, Uncle Bud was appointed chief of police of Muskogee. As usual he took charge with precision and vigor causing gamblers to leave town, the red light district to close down, and liquor joints to either close or be raided.
So successful was his tenure as chief of police that he was elected sheriff of Muskogee County.
But then Okmulgee called. Things had gotten so bad there that the citizens prevailed on Uncle Bud to come back to clean up the town. He responded and was a plainclothesman on the police force there from 1917 to 1922. Needless to say, things got straightened out.
In 1922 he was asked to run again for sheriff of Muskogee County. He was reluctant. After all, he was 70 years old and the years were bearing down on him. But he relented and easily won the election in a field of nine other men, with a majority of 3,000, showing what respect the public had for him.
Bootleggers and moonshiners were his chief quarry this time. His opening challenge to his men was to "bring in a still every day." And, as usual, he succeeded in cleaning up.
The West article winds it up: "James took a well-earned retirement in 1928 at the age of 76. After a very full, often hectic life. He had built a home at 415 W. Southside Blvd., Muskogee, Oklahoma and he settled down to enjoy life. He had bought a farm which was being cultivated by his son, George, and he enjoyed going out to the farm and puttering around, especially petting and grooming the horses. He boasted of having the best team in Muskogee County."
In those later years, James loved to visit with old friends, and spent a great deal of time ambling the streets of Muskogee or in the court house, police station or federal building, passing the time of day. He was regular in his attendance at meetings of the Peace Officers Association and the like. He loved to go back to his old haunts such as Vinita, Haskell and Okmulgee, and made a trip or two back to Arkansas. "Old friends are precious to me," he said. "They don't make them like they used to. Sometimes I meet as many as 2,000 of my old friends in one day."
His retirement was marred by the death of his faithful companion, of 56 years, Mary Josephine. Mary died 12 May 1930 in Muskogee, Oklahoma at the age of 74 years. Through all those years as James' standby, she always had that fear that all law enforcement offices' wives have, that he might not come back, but she never showed it to the rest of the family and assisted them in having a normal daily life. It is said that James was just not the same after Mary's death.
It was the custom for many years to have a birthday party for Uncle Bud, at which time they presented him with a hat.
The last battle, the only one he ever lost came on the 8th of July in 1937. His last public appearance was on his 84th birthday. He became ill with a heart ailment shortly afterward and went to the hospital. He fought valiantly in and out of the hospital for six months, but in vain. The public in general, and peace officers in particular, from all over the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas came to pay homage to their hero. All Muskogee stores closed and all public offices suspended operations in order to attend the funeral. Many of his old buddies were present.
West concludes his story: "It is hard to understand how a man could be so feared, yet so loved and honored; shot at so many times and never hit; so forthright, yet so deliberate; so ruthless when necessary, yet so kind and understanding. Relatives of those it had been necessary for him to arrest or kill were among his closest friends, as were many whom he had arrested. His fame and admiration for what he was - continue to follow him."
His granddaughter, Nettie Estelle LEDBE TTER, now Mrs. Earl D. CO RLISS of Muskogee, remembers her grandfather not as one of the most fearless, noted lawmen of his day, but "just as a big gentle granddaddy who would play with us, do a jig for us, and have lots of fun with us." She says they did not know that he faced death most every day and that he was one of the most feared men in Indian Territory. His daily duties were never discussed. He came home like anyone else, that had a routine way of life, with no hint whatsoever of his line of work, not that it was kept secret, merely that nothing was made of it.
Another thing Nettie Estelle remembers about her grandfather is that he often brought samples of sand and asked them to smell it, thinking it might be oil sand. He never struck oil, but like many others, he always had hopes.

12-1-1-1-1 GEORGE WASHINGTON LEDBETTER
Ewing Family Lineage: Mary-America-Thomas-William-James
Although he may have admired his father's daring and renown, George did not follow in his father's footsteps. Being mechanically inclined, he became an auto mechanic. But he ended his years caring for his father's farm near Muskogee.
George was born 28 August 1875 at Huntsville, Madison County, Arkansas. He was not very old when his dad's work took the family to Oklahoma and that is where George grew up.
It is uncertain how 18 years old George and 15 year old Ann Elizabeth PROC TOR, a native of Prairie Grove, Washington County, Arkansas came to be married in East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio on 8 November 1893. Another of the many unanswered questions that have come to light during the research of this work.
Ann was the daughter of John and Harriet (GREEN) P ROCTOR and was born 18 March 1878.
Soon after the marriage the couple were back in Arkansas. George's trade took him all over. Between 1895 and 1917 there are records that he and Ann lived in Coal Hill, Arkansas; Craig County, Oklahoma; Muskogee, Oklahoma; El Paso, Texas and Muskogee again, where they remained, because George had been called on to run his father's farm.
George died on the farm in Muskogee, Oklahoma on the 2nd of July 1943 at the age 68 years. Exactly 20 years and 21 days later on 23 July 1963 Ann died at the age of 85.

12-1-1-1-1-6 JOHN FRANKLIN LED BETTER
Ewing Family Lineage: George-Mary-America-Thomas-William-James
John and his family had some interesting World War II experiences that bear telling about. Though he was older than most soldiers of the infamous war - he was born 14 February 1911. John was not an ordinary recruit, as he was in the service pre-Pearl Harbor.
John was born in El Paso, but did most of his growing up in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was married on his 23rd birthday in 1934 to Lida Harris W ALLACE. That marriage ended in divorce. On 23 October 1939, he and Zona HAF EN were married in Yuma, Arizona. Zona was born 3 January 1914 in Provo, Utah, the daughter of John H AFEN, a native of Switzerland, and Ellen L OWRY.
John, a scientific engineer, and Zona were in Long Beach, California in October of 1940 when their daughter Zona Joyce was born. Not long after, they were sent to Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, Their daughter Ann Marie tells it from there:
"My own birth in the Canal Zone is interesting because of the special hardships that the outbreak of World War II brought on. My father's home base was Coco Solo, Panama, although he was assigned in Recife, Brazil, for some time. I never saw my father until I was 2 years old because of the war. When Pearl Harbor was attacked in December of 1941, most women and children were evacuated from the Naval base, but not my mother, because she was expecting. There were practice air alerts on a regular basis. Everyone had to go into dark cellars with crabs, water and giant tropical spiders. I have a few photos to prove their size. As luck would have it, I was born in a blackout and delivered by flashlight in the Naval hospital. When I was 6 weeks old we were shipped to New Orleans, Louisiana on a boat that had to zigzag all day long and pull into port every night all up the Central American coast to avoid possible enemy subs. It must have been exciting times but I don't remember anything about it."
At war's end, John and Zona were in Oakland, California where their third and last child, a son, was born and presumably that is where they stayed, for John died in Oakland at the age of 51 on the 9th of March 1962. Zona was 48 years old at the time and on the 27th of August 1962 she married Everett B OLTON. When Ann Marie wrote in 1983, Zona and Everett were living in Redlands, California, but they also spent a lot of time at their second home in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.

12-1-1-2 FRANCES ELIZABETH T ERRY
Ewing Family Lineage: America-John-Thomas-William-James
Frances was born in November 1857 in Schuyler County, Missouri and was 11 when the family moved to Madison County, Arkansas in 1870. Her father, William TERRY died in Madison County when she was about 13 years old. In 1875 she went back to Missouri to stay with her grandparents, John and Elizabeth EWING. Frances had been there two years when a young man she had known in Arkansas, Jeremiah Turner PO WELL went there to visit her. The visit culminated in their marriage right there, in 1877, and they returned to Arkansas to make their home.
Jeremiah Turner POWELL, J.T. or Jerry as he was known, was born in July 1857 in Arkansas. His parents were James and Lucinda (REEVES) P OWELL, natives of Cannon County, Tennessee. Lucinda's mother was Elizabeth R EEVES called "Tennessee," who was born in Tennessee in 1795. She was living with her grandson, Jeremiah, and Frances in the 1880 census.
That was in War Eagle Township, Madison County, Arkansas. A sketch in an 1889 Madison County history on Jeremiah's brother, Dr. George N. POWE LL, mentions Jeremiah and puts him on Drake's Creek and "late a Republican candidate for county assessor of Madison County." Jeremiah was Sheriff for two terms in Madison County.
By 1900 Jeremiah and Frances had moved next door, to Washington County, and were living in Springdale, Springdale Township. Jeremiah was a merchant, a grocer, and they owned their home free. They moved to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Indian Territory in 1903. Jeremiah was a Sheriff there also.
Frances' mother, America, spent her last years with the Powells. She lived with them after 1910 until her death in 1917. It was from Springdale, in 1913, that America sent a contribution to the Mary McNeill Ewing Memorial Fund for four generations of "Ewings" - herself, her daughter, Frances, her granddaughter, Florence Powell CA RREL and her great-granddaughter, Madge CA RREL - $2.50 in all.
Frances died in Tahlequah, Oklahoma in 1923.
Jeremiah was 83 and still going strong when his daughter Ova, wrote to A.E. EWING in 1939. Jeremiah died 22 February 1943 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and he is buried in the Powell Plot in the Tahlequah Cemetery.

It was a happy day when contact was finally made with Madge. She had been just a name on a list - the Mary McNeil Memorial Fund for so long.
I called her in 1982 and then wrote and she replied, enclosing a dainty little tatted snowflake she had made for me and the following information on her family.
Madge was 81 years old in 1982. Madge was first married to Carl RI CE, by whom she had four children. She and Carl who was a Mason, used to go to a lot of dances. "It is still in my blood," says Madge. "I love to dance."
Madge married her second husband, C ARMAN and had one child. Her third husband's name is not known. Her fourth husband was an OLS ON.
In 1982, Madge was living at 4605 So. P. Street, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

12-1-1-2-6 OVA MYRTLE POW ELL
Ewing Family Lineage: Frances-America-John-Thomas-William-James
Ova did not have a family, but she deserves some space of her own, just by virtue of the fact that if it had not been for her and her interest in her ancestors so she could get into DAR, there would have been no clues at all to America Jane.
Ova was the youngest of the family of Frances and Jeremiah POW ELL. She was born in August of 1891 in Arkansas, but she spent the greater part of her life in Oklahoma. Her 1939 letters to A.E. EWING are written on the letterheads of H.M. VANCE, Attorney at Law, Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
Ova had written to A.E. in 1923 (which correspondence can not be located) for information on Ewings and McNeills so she could get into the DAR. A.E. responded, but with her mother dying that year, and the family moving to Tahlequah, and all, she did not do anything more about it until 1939. At that time she wrote A.E. again, and through his help she was able to make the DAR grade.
According to her niece, Madge, Ova was a "joiner." She belonged to not only DAR, but United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was also active in the Order of the Eastern Star and served in all offices, including Worthy Matron. She belonged to the Christian Church and was on its board.
Ova was married late in life - about 1939, to Joseph ANTO INE. The couple was childless. Ova died in 1971.

12-1-1-5 HIRAM CANTRELL DAV IS
Ewing Family Lineage: America-John-Thomas-William-James
Hiram was found and then lost to this researcher. He was only a name for so long and nothing could be found out about him until Ann Marie came along. Ann Marie was able to shed some light on him, and then he was found in the 1910 census - but that is all. Attempts to raise his progeny for this work have failed.
Hiram was born in Madison County, Arkansas in 1876. In the 1880 census he was living with his mother and stepfather Causey in Madison County's War Eagle Township - age 4 years.
After Causey died, America went to visit her parents in Putnam County, Missouri and took Hiram with her. She married her former brother-in-law, Harvey FARRIS there, and they returned to Arkansas. Hiram, about 8, remained in Missouri to be brought up by America's brother, William Allen E WING, in Adair County, Missouri. Hiram was married about 1896, age about 20 years, to Cassie Donna BAKER, who was born in Missouri in 1876. They lived near Queen City, Schuyler County, Missouri. There was no sign of them in the 1900 census, but they were there at Queen City in the 1910 census.
Cassie died about 1911 and Hiram married again, his second wife being Mar FA RMER.
James Monroe EWING of Unionville, Putnam County, Missouri, wrote that in about 1965 he had run into Hiram in Kirksville where he was night manager of a hotel. Hiram Cantrell DAVIS would have been 89 years old in 1965, it is possible James meant the son, Harvey Hiram DAV IS.

12-1-2 JOHN A. E WING
Ewing Family Lineage: John-Thomas-William-James
There were John Addisons later in this Ewing family, possibly John A's middlename was also Addison.
John was born 29 October 1836 in Huntington Township back in Gallia County, Ohio and was about 20 years old when the family moved to Missouri, Clark County first and finally Putnam County.
John was one of the John and Elizabeth's five sons who entered the fray on the Union side. He enlisted 12 September 1862 as a private for three years in Company C, 27th Missouri Infantry. His address then was Queen City, Schuyler County, Missouri.
John only had four months and three weeks in the infantry, and 60 days less than that in actual service. In December his "old narcosis of the left tibia, contracted before enlistment," began acting up, the bone becoming much enlarged. On 6 February 1863, having been disabled over 60 days, John was given a medical discharge at Benton Barracks Convalescent Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri. John returned home.
John was married about 1870 to Evaline GARD NER who was born in 1842 in Ohio. John and Evaline lived in Ninevah Township, Adair County, Missouri and had two children, William born 1872 and Georgia Annie born in 1878.
John was killed in a tragic accident. It took place about the time of Georgia's birth, 1878, or perhaps 1879 - but it was before 1880. John and his young son, William, were out hunting. John was up on a tall stump when he lost his footing and fell. The hammers on his gun caught the stump and both barrels took him in the chest. His clothes caught fire and this in turn set the woods on fire. William escaped unharmed.
"John was burned pretty bad," James Monroe Ewing wrote me, "so they cut off his boots and buried him there on the spot where he lay."
Years later James Monroe's father, Timothy Jordan E WING, John's brother, went to the spot where this all happened, along with a man by the name of Houston. This was probably Andrew Jackson HOUS TON who married a niece of both Timothy and John, Lena Etta May E WING (12-1-5-1)
Andrew Jackson Houston also lived in Ninevah Township. He would have been about 13 year old at the time of the accident. He had told Timothy he knew the exact spot where John had died. They went out there and Houston set his foot down in a spot and said, "If you dig under my foot, you will find John A. Ewing's boots." "My dad did dig down, " James Monroe wrote, " and there was his leather boots." How it was that Houston knew where to look was because for years he had kept a little pole fence around the spot.
"My dad tore off two small pieces and somewhere in my stuff I have those two pieces of leather."
In 1880 the widow Evaline Ewing and her two children were living in Ninevah.
On 23 August 1885 Evaline and Simon A. HAY NES were married in Elm Township, Putnam County, Missouri.
Evaline could not receive a pension under her first husband's wartime service but her minor daughter could and in 1891, the daughter, Georgia Annie, chose a guardian to administer her estate.
On 13 July 1891, a curator for the estate of John's daughter, Georgia Annie - 13, was to receive the pension appointed by Probate Judge SHELD ON of Putnam County. He was David B RASFIELD, 31, of Queen City, Schuyler County, Missouri.
That is the last that is known of this family. All of them - Simon, Evaline, Georgia Annie, William and his wife - disappeared from the Missouri scene. There is no record of any of them in the 1900 Missouri census index, and none of their Ewing family remaining in that part of Missouri has any knowledge of them.
What we have recorded comes from official records and digging by some "kin" who care.

12-1-5 WILLIAM ALLEN EW ING
Ewing Family Lineage: John-Thomas-William-James
William lived a long, fruitful life and produced a lot of Ewings for posterity, but strangely the descendants that were contacted were unable to give any information about him personally.
William was born 11 February 1842 at Ewington, Gallia County, Ohio. He was 13 or 14 when the family made the move to Missouri.
William, like four of his brothers, was in the Civil War, but no service record was located. Apparently he was not sick or wounded while in the service, or else was affluent enough not to have need of a pension, because there are no records for him at the Pension Bureau in Washington.
Next door south of Elm Township in Putnam County, Missouri, is Ninevah Township in Adair County and next to Ninevah is Polk Township. In Polk Township lived Francis R EY NOLDS and his family, from Norfolk, Virginia. A daughter in the family was Sarah Elizabeth, born in 1844. This was the young lady who became Mrs. William Allen Ewing.
Sarah Elizabeth REYNOLDS and William were married in Adair County, Missouri on 13 October 1867 by David WELLS, J.P.
The newlyweds went into housekeeping on a farm next to the Reynolds farm in Polk Township. They were listed side by side in the 1870 census.
Sometime before 21 July 1874, Sarah's parents and brother went away, either on an extended visit or in a move to a new place. A letter Sarah wrote to them on that date has been preserved, in good condition though holey in places where folds are. At that time Sarah and William had three children - Lena, almost 6, James, 4, and John, 2 - and were expecting a fourth.
The letter reads as copied:
July the 21st A.D. 1874
Dear mother,
I seat myself to answer your welcome letter which came to hand yesterday. I was glad to hear from you. We are all well and doing well. Times are tolerably good here. Will is not here to write though I shall write for him. The neighbors are all well as far as I know. Aschey is married. He married a girl by the name of Fanny Codel. He is still living at father's. Now I must tell you that Timothy Ewing has a fine girl. Her name is Nancy Elizabeth for its two grandmothers (Elizabeth [Viers] Ewing and Nancy Martin).
Will is up at Timothy Ewing's at work. He expects to work there all summer if he can get work to do.
James Harvey Ewing sends his love to his grandma and says for you to come back home. He wants to see you very bad. Etty May Ewing sends her love to her grandma and she wants you to come back here and little John is always saying something about you. After you were gone two or three weeks, I got that pipe out of the trunk and John said it was George's pipe. Now I must tell you that we have very good prospects for corn if the season is good it will take a long time to gather his corn this year he took in some new (?)
Now I must tell you that Ann (?) has had a hard time. She had a tumor in her side and had to have it taken out. Wilson and Bickel (?) were the doctors that made the operation and how awful it was. Will saw it taken out. They took her to Doctor Wilson's house and made the operation there, then kept her there four or five days till she got so she could come from there. Was joy with us all when she came home. That circumstance occurred last winter. She is pretty near well now. Few people have heard of this before and if (?) See could tell you all the particulars of it. Tell George if he doesn't (?) he had better now.
I must tell you that Miss Scott sends her love to you and said tell you she was digging black root and had to work as hard as she ever did. Now I must close. (?) my bad writing for the children tease me so bad I can't hardly write (?) son fail note. I shall be glad to hear from you all soon.
From Sarah Elizabeth Ewing to her mother and father and brother. Good bye for this time.
The fourth child, Nettie, arrived 10 April 1975. The infant made it into the world all right, but the mother died in giving her life. Sarah was only 31 years old at the time. She is buried at Greentop Cemetery, Adair County, Missouri.
William had help in taking care of the children from his parents and possibly Sarah's parents too. It was three years before he found a woman who could take her place. She was Nicinda PAR TIN, born 19 July 1855 in Missouri. She was the daughter of Martin and Nancy (MULLINAX) P ARTIN and a first cousin of Florence MULLI NAX who married William's brothers Samuel and Timothy.
William and Nicinda were married in 1878. She became stepmother to four young Ewings and mother to four more. To the eight Ewings they added Hiram D AVIS, William's nephew who went to live with them.
They continued on at the Polk Township farm through at least the next 22 years. In the 1900 census, Nicinda's father, Martin PARTIN, was living with them.
The year of Nicinda's death could not be located, but she is buried at the Greentop Cemetery, Adair County, Missouri. Strangely, William, who died in 1922 at the age of 70 years is buried at what is now Pleasant Home Cemetery in Worthington, Putnam County, Missouri - formerly Brasfield Cemetery.
Incidentally, William was one of the biggest - if not the biggest - producers of Ewings in the entire family. There are more Ewings by that name in the pages coming up than in any other section, even the sections on John Smith Ewing and Enoch. Sad that there is so little known about them.

12-1-5-1-3 CLOE OPAL HOU STON
Ewing Family Lineage: Lena-William-John-Thomas-William-James
Cloe and her husband moved around a lot, but in her later years, after her husband's death, she returned to the place of her nativity, the Kirksville, Missouri area and when she did, resumed her maiden name. Thank heavens for that. Had she not, she would never have been found and there would be precious little on the Houston family.
Cloe was born 12 February 1894 in a log cabin 5 miles west of Greentop, Adair County, Missouri. Cloe was married the 30th of January 1922 in Gardnerville, Nevada to Herman D. E RBST. Herman was born 9 September 1876 in Hamburg, Germany. Herman's mother was Maria ER BST. He was a rancher and had been a Mason for 50 years prior to his death. Cloe worked in offices and nursing. They lived in Nevada, Susanville, California and Flagstaff, Arizona.
In 1979, Cloe lived at 1114 N. Elson Street, Kirksville, Missouri. She was then past 85 and "can't work like I used to and my memory is bad, I have pretty good health considering all things."

12-1-5-3 JOHN ADDISON EWING
Ewing Family Lineage: William-John-Thomas-William-James
John certainly did his part! He brought 13 little Ewings into the world, eight of them boys. Supposedly this family stuck pretty close to the Kirksville area, but according to long distance information there was only four Ewings listed in Kirksville, Missouri on February 1984. One is Hillis EWING, who does not seem to be one of ours, and the other three are unlisted numbers. In other words, Ewing members of this family were unable to be contacted.
John Addison was born 1 February 1872 in Adair County, Missouri and was married on the 1st of February 1893 to Sophia Ann SA VAGE, daughter of James and Hilda SAV AGE. (Don and Alison's records show that Sophia was the daughter of Cale B./Caleb SAVAGE and Hester Emily HAYNES, BP) Sophia was born 24 November 1874. In the 1900 census the Ewings were living in Polk Township, Adair County, Missouri - John a farmer.
An interesting sidelight: their eldest son was in World War I and their youngest, born 21 years later served in World War II.
Sophia died 9 November 1918 and John on 17 October 1943 at the age of 71 years.

12-1-5-3-13 JOHN ANDERSON EWING
Ewing Family Lineage: John-William-John-Thomas-William-James
Being Number 13 wasn't unlucky for John Anderson. He had a most interesting and rewarding life.
John, whose birth date was 7 June 1915 was born and raised on the farm at Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri - but here's a boy you couldn't keep down on the farm. As of 1982 he had been in 44 of our 50 United States, and during World War II he made it to Australia and New Guinea. He was first a farm laborer, then was in construction work, then went into gospel ministry, and finally he was a postal worker, from which he retired.
In 1982, John was in the entertainment business. He was a professional country and country-gospel music composer and recording artist. If you ever come across any work by Andy St. John - that's our boy! John sent me one of his recordings. On one side is "Come on In, Lord" - gospel music that is also toe tapping. On the flip side is his "Gadabout" a very clever piece about a CBer calling for his mate with the CB moniker of Gadabout, only Gadabout is with the angels. Inasmuch as this was written in 1977, shortly after the death of his second wife, Esther Leone C AZEL, I surmise that she was his Gadabout. The songs are on Seven-Eleven records and both were recorded in 1977.
John has been married three times. John's third wife is Jane DULA NEY. John and Jane were married on the 11th of December of 1978 and in 1982 they made their home in Tuscola, Illinois. Their address: P.O. Box 367, zip code - 61953. John was first married to Irene LAWSON on 23 June 1933. They were the parents of Dorothy Lee E WING. They were divorced and on 20 May 1945 John and Esther were married. Esther died on the 19th of November 1976.
John sent most of the information on his family's line.

12-1-5-6 DAVID ANDERSON EW ING
Ewing Family Lineage: William-John-Thomas-William-James
Like his brother, John, David gave 13 Ewings to posterity, and like his brother, eight of those were sons - though only three of them had progeny.
David was born in February 1880 in Adair County, Missouri. He was musically inclined and was great on the fiddle. He was a butcher by trade, a calling he passed down to five of his sons. And he liked his pipe and a bit of whiskey now and then.

The Ewings lived in Adair County at first, in or near Kirksville, and it was there, their first nine children were born. But in December of 1918 they moved to Hannibal, Missouri. - Hannibal, Marion County, on the Mississippi River, where a fellow by the name of Tom Sawyer and his pal, Huckleberry Finn, achieved great fame thanks to the pen of Mark Twain.
David owned the Ewing Butcher Shop on N. Main Street in Hannibal for many years. After Cora's death in 1931, and his retirement about 1945, he made the Hannibal home of his daughter, Dixie GLA SCOCK, his headquarters, and from there radiated out to visit other offspring during the year.

12-1-5-6-13 MARY LOU EWI NG
Ewing Family Lineage: David-William-John-Thomas-William-James
Mary Lou and her husband, Robert Franklin HOW ELL, have been mentioned before. I think this is the only case in this book where I am writing about two cousins of mine from two different branches of my family in the same section.
Mary Lou, born 23 September 1924 in Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri is of course a Ewing cousin. She and I are great-great-great-granddaughters of William and Mary McNeill EWING. Robert, whom she married in 1943, is a cousin on my Matthews side - and a descendant of another James Ewing, the one of Monroe County, West Virginia.
Robert is the son of Charles HOW ELL of Canton, Missouri. Charles' father was Joseph HO WELL, whose mother was Susan Jane EW ING, daughter of John and Isabelle (MATTHEWS) E WING. John Ewing was a grandson of the James EWI NG of Monroe County. Isabelle MATTH EWS was a daughter of William M ATTHEWS, also of Monroe County, and sister to my Great-Great-Grandmother, Mary Ann MATTHEWS HAN KS.
Robert and I then are fourth cousins. But it helps if you look at it in genealogical ladder form, starting from our first common ancestor, William MATTHEWS.

About Mary Lou she says: "Whenever I would visit her house as a child she was always rocking babies; now I visit her and she is rocking grandchildren. She is the only family I have in Quincy from my mother's side of the family, so I feel very close to her and her children."

Ewing Family Lineage: William-John-Thomas-William-James
Virginia was born in March 1892 in Adair County, Missouri and was married in Adair County about 1912 to Jack TI ETSORT, a butcher. In 1936, the two of them left Missouri in favor of Yakima, Washington. They drove out, pulling a trailer loaded with their possessions, including a trunk with some family history in it. They spent one night at an auto camp in Wyoming. During the night someone stole that precious trunk, and many family mementoes were lost, much to Virginia's sadness.
Virginia wrote in 1968. Her husband had died the 26th of June 1956 and she was not in the best of health. She had just come home from the hospital after a very serious operation, her third operation in a year.
"I live alone," she wrote. "I only had one child, a boy. He died in 1942. He had two boys. I raised the oldest one."
Virginia was 76 at that time. In 1979, Cloe HOU STON wrote that Virginia was in a nursing home and that is where she died in March of 1983.

12-1-10 TIMOTHY JORDAN EWI NG
Ewing Family Lineage: John-Thomas-William-James
Timothy was the 10th grandchild to come into the log home of Thomas and Anstis EWING in Huntington Township's Section 2, Gallia County, Ohio. He was born 14 October 1851 and was about 5 years old when the move to Missouri was made. He was listed with his parents, John and Elizabeth in the 1860 census for Jefferson Township, Clark County, Missouri and in the 1870 census for Elm Township, Putnam County, Missouri. At that time he was 18 years old and a farm hand.
He was married on 14 September 1873 by Daniel S PARKS, J.P. to Martha A. MAR TIN, daughter of the first settlers of Putnam County. They were Brightwell and Nancy (LESSLEY) M ARTIN, and the town of Martinsville in Elm Township is very likely named for them.
Martha was born in Elm Township in 1853, 1855 or 1858.
(Martha was listed as 7 in the 1860 census, 25 in the 1880 census and Timothy's granddaughter has her birthyear as being 1858)
The newlyweds made their home in Elm Township near their parents. They had six children, two of whom died young. David, the youngest, was 6 when Martha died on 29 January 1890. David died four months later. Martha is buried at Pleasant Home Cemetery - formerly Brasfield Cemetery in Putnam County, Missouri.
Timothy and the three children, Iva, 11 and the twins, Myrtle and Jordan, 8, carried on, but before long it became apparent that there was going to be another wedding in Timothy's life. Florence Lela MUL LINAX had married Timothy's younger brother, Samuel Luther, and they had two children, James and Stella, and they were expecting their third, Mae Belle, when Samuel was killed in a fight at a dance in 1882.
John and Florence made it "his, hers and ours." They were married 9 August 1891 by W.M. H ILL, J.P.
Florence was born 8 February 1861 at Kirksville, the daughter of Evan and Mary (DICKSON) MULL INAX.
Granddaughter, Betty Hoyt B ENSON has written a very interesting sketch about her grandparents, and it follows almost verbatim.
"So Timothy and Florence set up housekeeping with six children. The story is told of how Timothy's children would come in from school or play and introduce their friends to their 'mother' and then turn around call her 'Aunt Florence'. That was a source of much amusement with the children on both sides of the family.
"The family continued to grow with the addition of five more children, Ruth, Thomas, Zeruiah, Browford and Joseph.
"Sometime before 1900 the Ewings moved from the east end of Putnam County, to a farm in Wilson Township, about 1/2 miles southwest of Putnam's county seat, Unionville. Here Timothy raised cattle, grew corn and hay and raised sorghum cane from which he made molasses. He considered himself an expert on watermelons and always had a big patch of them.
"His daughter, Ruth, remembered the time he grew a watermelon that weighed 50 pounds. It was on display in the window of Quigley's Saloon in Unionville. Quigley's Saloon was on the southeast corner of the square, a good place for everyone to see the melon and exclaim over it.
"Timothy started a brickyard on this farm as he had available to him the clay and the water from Blackbird Creek. His grandson, James EWING who lives in Unionville, says part of the kiln and some of the bricks are still visible today. The brickyard was in operation for 10 or 12 years.
"Ruth remembered the brickyard very well though she could not remember how many men her father employed. She said it was quite a few, as it took many hands to get the bricks molded, dried, burned, stacked and ready for sale. Many of the buildings and streets in Unionville contain bricks made on his farm. Ruth added that it was her job to take all orders for bricks over the telephone and relay the messages to her father, and she took great pride in this responsibility, and in having her father depend on her.
"Ruth also related the story of how in the summer of 1904, they were very busy in the brickyard and her father had been working long, hard hours, often late into the night. With all the smoke her father had inhaled during the summer, he developed a lung infection and was ill enough to be in bed. This was in September at the time the last baby in the family was about to make his entrance into the world. Ruth had to call Dr. GU YSINGER to come and then it was she who had the honor of bringing Timothy Jordan's child downstairs for his inspection. The new baby was Joseph Archie.
"Ruth remembered the farm very well. She said the house was situated nicely on a small hill up north from Blackbird Creek. There was a good bridge across the creek and the road was always in good shape. She said this was her father's thing, to always have good roads. It was across this bridge and on this kind of road that many of the church groups found their way to the Ewing farm and to the lovely pasture with green grass and big shade trees for their picnics. Many happy outings were held in their pasture.
"Timothy and his family were members of the First Baptist Church in Unionville. Timothy did not attend church as regularly as the rest of his family did but, according to Ruth, 'Papa knew the Bible from A to Z. When his son, Jordan, had typhoid fever after his mother died, Papa took care of him, and for 40 days and 40 nights he waited on him. Through all of this he read the Bible through twice. He always studied the Bible.
"Timothy's daughter, Zeruiah, has told that many an evening as a child she would sit on her papa's lap and he would read the Bible to her. And she in turn was well versed in the Bible and read it almost daily for the rest of her life. Zeruiah was the only one of his children to whom he gave a nickname. He always called her Pud, short for Pudding. Zeruiah also related that on several occasions when Timothy thought it was necessary to work in the fields on Sunday, her mother, Florence, was very opposed and would get out the sewing machine and sew all day and then Timothy would know how upset she was.
"Timothy moved his family into town about 1910 or 1911. They lived in the southwest section of town known as Dundee. Brick was not in as much demand now and while Timothy was a hard worker and knew how to make money, he was not good at managing it. A close friend of his, Bob B RASFIELD, a local merchant, always acted as his business manager. However, after his death things did not go well with Timothy as he was too trusting of people and they did not pay up their debts to him.
"After he moved to town he worked about at different things. He had a good team of horses and did a lot of hauling of sand and coal. His son, Joseph tells how he would go and wait in line at the coal mine for maybe a whole day to get a load of coal and would only make $2.00. Two dollars a day for wages for a man and a team of horses.
"In politics he was a Democrat and a strong one at that. At one time he was a deputy sheriff and was also the town marshall. He was asked several times to run for sheriff but said he didn't want that job.
"He was a handsome man, being 6 feet tall, with dark hair and blue eyes, and he weighed around 180-190 lbs. He had a fair complexion and as an older man he had a mustache. Of his children it was Browford Emerson who most resembled his father in physical appearance. He had a good physical form and when dressed up made a good impression.
"Everyone liked him because he had such a good disposition. However, when he got angry, he was very angry, and sometimes it didn't take too much to spark that anger. He had a good sense of humor and liked to hear or tell a good joke. He had friends in all circles of life, from the richest to the poorest and everyone knew that when Timothy Jordan said something was this way or that, then that was the way it was. He was a man of his word and expected everyone else to be also.
"Several years after they moved to Unionville, Timothy Jordan had a heart attack. After he recovered from this his daughter, Myrtle, and her husband, Hugh G UFFY, urged them to come to Mitchell County, Iowa. And so Timothy, his wife Florence and their two sons, Browford and Joseph moved up to northeast Iowa.
"Here they rented a farm and went into the truck gardening business, raising mainly onions. Joseph remembered what hard work this was, spending whole days bent over weeding those onions. It wasn't long after this that Timothy started suffering from hardening of the arteries. He was confined to a wheelchair and Joseph recalled how much he enjoyed sitting out in the yard under a tree in the summertime. To help him while away the hours he took up whittling. But as far as known

American politician and diplomat (1900–1965)
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II ( ; February 5, 1900 – July 14, 1965) was an American politician and diplomat who was the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 1961 until his death in 1965. He previously served as the 31st governor of Illinois from 1949 to 1953 and was the Democratic nominee for president of the United States in 1952 and 1956, losing both elections to Dwight D. Eisenhower in landslides. Stevenson was the grandson of Adlai Stevenson I, the 23rd vice president of the United States.
Raised in Bloomington, Illinois, Stevenson was a member of the Democratic Party.[1] He served in many positions in the federal government during the 1930s and 1940s, including the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, Federal Alcohol Administration, Department of the Navy, and the State Department. In 1945, he served on the committee that created the United Nations, and was a member of the initial U.S. delegations to the UN.
In 1948, he was elected governor of Illinois, defeating incumbent governor Dwight H. Green in an upset. As governor, Stevenson reformed the state police, cracked down on illegal gambling, improved the state highways, and attempted to cleanse the state government of corruption. Stevenson also sought, with mixed success, to reform the Illinois state constitution and introduced several crime bills in the state legislature.
In the 1952 and 1956 presidential elections, he was chosen as the Democratic nominee for president, but was defeated in a landslide by Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower both times. In 1960, he unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination for a third time at the Democratic National Convention. After President John F. Kennedy was elected, he appointed Stevenson as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Two major events Stevenson dealt with during his time as UN ambassador were the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in April 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. He was still serving as UN ambassador when he suffered a heart attack during a visit to London on July 14, 1965, dying later that day at the age of 65. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in his hometown of Bloomington, Illinois.
Early life and education
[edit]
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II[2] was born in Los Angeles, California, in a neighborhood that is now designated as the North University Park Historic District. His home and birthplace at 2639 Monmouth Avenue has been designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[3] He was a member of a prominent Illinois political family. His grandfather and namesake Adlai Stevenson I was Vice President of the United States under President Grover Cleveland from 1893 to 1897. His father, Lewis Stevenson, never held an elected office, but was appointed Illinois Secretary of State (1914–1917) and was considered a strong contender for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination in 1928. A maternal great-grandfather, Jesse W. Fell, had been a close friend and campaign manager for Abraham Lincoln in his 1858 US Senate race; Stevenson often referred to Fell as his favorite ancestor.[4] Stevenson's eldest son, Adlai E. Stevenson III, became a U.S. Senator from Illinois (1970–1981). His mother was Helen Davis Stevenson, and he had an older sister, Elizabeth Stevenson Ives, an author who was called "Buffie". Actor McLean Stevenson was a second cousin once removed.[5] He was the nephew by marriage of novelist Mary Borden, and she assisted in the writing of some of his political speeches.[6]
Stevenson was raised in the city of Bloomington, Illinois; his family was a member of Bloomington's upper class and lived in one of the city's well-to-do neighborhoods. On December 30, 1912, at the age of twelve, Stevenson accidentally killed Ruth Merwin, a 16-year-old friend, while demonstrating drill technique with a rifle, inadvertently left loaded, during a party at the Stevenson home.[7] Stevenson was devastated by the accident and rarely mentioned or discussed it as an adult, even with his wife and children.[8] However, in 1955 Stevenson heard about a woman whose son had experienced a similar tragedy. He wrote to her that she should tell her son that "he must now live for two", which Stevenson's friends took to be a reference to the shooting incident.[9]
Stevenson left Bloomington High School after his junior year and attended University High School in Normal, Illinois, Bloomington's "twin city", just to the north. He then went to boarding school in Connecticut at The Choate School (now Choate Rosemary Hall), where he played on the tennis team, acted in plays, and was elected editor-in-chief of The Choate News, the school newspaper.[10] Upon his graduation from Choate in 1918,[11] he enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve and served at the rank of seaman apprentice, but his training was completed too late for him to participate in World War One.[12]
He attended Princeton University, becoming managing editor of The Daily Princetonian, a member of the American Whig-Cliosophic Society,[13] a member of the Quadrangle Club, and received a B.A. degree in 1922 in literature and history.[14] Under prodding from his father, he then went to Harvard Law School, but found law to be "uninteresting", and withdrew after failing several classes.[15] He returned to Bloomington where he wrote for the family newspaper, The Daily Pantagraph, which was founded by his maternal great-grandfather Jesse Fell. The Pantagraph, which had one of the largest circulations of any newspaper in Illinois outside the Chicago area, was a main source of the Stevenson family's wealth.[16] Following his mother's death in 1935, Adlai inherited one-quarter of the Pantagraph's stock, providing him with a large, dependable source of income for the rest of his life.[17]
A year after leaving Harvard, Stevenson became interested in the law again after talking to Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. When he returned home to Bloomington, he decided to finish his degree at Northwestern University School of Law, attending classes during the week and returning to Bloomington on the weekends to write for the Pantagraph. Stevenson received his J.D. degree from Northwestern in 1926 and passed the Illinois state bar examination the same year. He obtained a position at Cutting, Moore & Sidley, one of Chicago's oldest and most prestigious law firms.[18]
Family
[edit]
On December 1, 1928, Stevenson married Ellen Borden, a well-to-do socialite. The young couple soon became popular and familiar figures on the Chicago social scene; they especially enjoyed attending and hosting costume parties.[19] They had three sons: Adlai Stevenson III, who would become a U.S. Senator; Borden Stevenson, and John Fell Stevenson. In 1935, Adlai and Ellen purchased a 70-acre (28 ha) tract of land along the Des Plaines River near Libertyville, Illinois, a wealthy suburb of Chicago.[20] They built a home on the property and it served as Stevenson's official residence for the rest of his life.[21] Although he spent relatively little time there due to his career, Stevenson did consider the estate to be his home, and in the 1950s, he was often called "The Man from Libertyville" by the national news media.[22] Stevenson also purchased a farm in northwestern Illinois, just outside Galena, where he frequently rode horses and kept some cattle.[citation needed]
On December 12, 1949, Adlai and Ellen were divorced; their son Adlai III later recalled that "There hadn't been a good relationship for a long time. I remember her [Ellen] as the unreasonable one, not only with Dad, but with us and the servants. I was embarrassed by her peremptory way with servants."[23] Several of Stevenson's biographers have written that his wife suffered from mental illness: "Incidents that went from petulant to bizarre to nasty generally have been described without placing them in the context of the progression of [her] increasingly serious mental illness. It was an illness that those closest to her – including Adlai for long after the divorce – were slow and reluctant to recognize. Hindsight, legal proceedings, and psychiatric testimony now make understandable the behavior that baffled and saddened her family."[24] Stevenson did not remarry after his divorce, but instead dated a number of prominent women throughout the rest of his life, including Alicia Patterson, Marietta Tree,[25] and Betty Beale.[26][27]
Religion
[edit]
Stevenson belonged to the Unitarian faith, and was a longtime member of Bloomington's Unitarian church.[28] However, he also occasionally attended Presbyterian services in Libertyville, where a Unitarian church was not present, and as governor he became close friends with the Rev. Richard Graebel, the pastor of Springfield's First Presbyterian church.[29] Graebel "acknowledged that Stevenson's Unitarian rearing had imbued him with the means of translating religious and ethical values into civic issues".[29] According to one historian, "religion never disappeared entirely from his public messages – it was indeed part of his appeal".[29]
Early career
[edit]
In July 1933, Stevenson took a job opportunity as special attorney and assistant to Jerome Frank, the general counsel of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), a part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Following the repeal of Prohibition in December 1933, Stevenson changed jobs, becoming chief attorney for the Federal Alcohol Control Administration (FACA), a subsidiary of the AAA which regulated the activities of the alcohol industry.
In 1935, Stevenson returned to Chicago to practice law. He became involved in civic activities, particularly as chairman of the Chicago branch of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies from 1940 to 1941.[30] As chairman, Stevenson worked to raise public support for military and economic aid to the United Kingdom and its allies in fighting Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Stevenson "believed Britain [was] America's first line of defense" and "argued for a repeal of the neutrality legislation" and support for President Roosevelt's Lend-Lease programme.[31] His efforts earned strong criticism from Colonel Robert R. McCormick, the powerful, isolationist publisher of the Chicago Tribune, and a leading member of the non-interventionist America First Committee.[32]
In 1940, Major Frank Knox, newly appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as Secretary of the Navy, offered Stevenson a position as Principal Attorney and special assistant. Stevenson accepted the position and in this capacity wrote speeches, represented Secretary Knox and the Navy on committees, toured the various theaters of war, and handled many administrative duties. Since Knox was largely a figurehead, there were few major roles for Stevenson. However, in early 1944 he joined a mission to Sicily and Italy for the Foreign Economic Administration to report on the country's economy. After Knox died in April 1944, Stevenson returned to Chicago where he attempted to purchase Knox's controlling interest in the Chicago Daily News, but his syndicate was outbid by another party.[33]
In 1945, Stevenson took a temporary position in the State Department, as special assistant to US Secretary of State Edward Stettinius to work with Assistant Secretary of State Archibald MacLeish on a proposed world organization. Later that year, he went to London as Deputy United States Delegate to the Preparatory Commission of the United Nations Organization, a position he held until February 1946. When the head of the delegation fell ill, Stevenson assumed his role. His work at the commission, and in particular his dealings with the representatives of the Soviet Union, resulted in appointments to the US delegations to the United Nations in 1946 and 1947.[34]
Governor of Illinois, 1949 to 1953
[edit]
In 1948, Stevenson was chosen by Jacob Arvey, leader of the powerful Chicago Democratic political organization, to be the Democratic candidate in the Illinois gubernatorial race against the incumbent Republican, Dwight H. Green.[35] In an upset, Stevenson defeated Green by 572,067 votes, a record margin in Illinois gubernatorial elections.[36] President Truman carried Illinois by only 33,612 votes against his Republican opponent, Thomas E. Dewey, leading a biographer to write that "Clearly, Adlai had carried the President in with him."[36] Paul Douglas, a University of Chicago professor of economics, was elected senator on the same ticket.[37]
Principal among Stevenson's achievements as Illinois governor were reforming the state police by removing political considerations from hiring practices and instituting a merit system for employment and promotion, cracking down on illegal gambling, and improving the state highways.[38] He sought, with mixed success, to cleanse the Illinois state government of corruption; in one instance he fired the warden of the state penitentiary for overcrowding, political corruption, and incompetence that had left the prisoners on the verge of revolt, and in another instance Stevenson fired the superintendent of an institution for alcoholics when he learned that the superintendent, after receiving bribes from local tavern owners, was allowing the patients to buy drinks at local bars.[39] Two of Stevenson's major initiatives as governor were a proposal to create a constitutional convention (called "con-con") to reform and improve the Illinois state constitution, and several crime bills that would have provided new resources and methods to fight criminal activities in Illinois.[40] Most of the crime bills and con-con failed to pass the state legislature, much to Stevenson's chagrin. However, Stevenson agreed to support a Republican alternative to con-con called "Gateway", it passed the legislature and was approved by Illinois voters in a 1950 referendum.[41] Stevenson's push for an improved state constitution "began the process of constitutional change...and in 1969, four years after his death, the goal was achieved. It was perhaps his most important achievement as governor."[41] The new constitution had the effect of removing the structural limitations on the growth of government in the state.
Stevenson's governorship coincided with the Second Red Scare, and during his term, the Illinois state legislature passed a bill that would have "made it a felony to belong to any subversive group", and would have required "a loyalty oath of public employees and candidates for office." Stevenson vetoed the bill.[42] In his public message regarding the veto, Stevenson wrote "Does anyone seriously think that a real traitor will hesitate to sign a loyalty oath? Of course not. Really dangerous subversives and saboteurs will be caught by careful, constant, professional investigation, not by pieces of paper. The whole notion of loyalty inquisitions is a natural characteristic of the police state, not of democracy. I know full well this veto will be distorted and misunderstood...I know that to veto this bill in this period of grave anxiety will be unpopular with many. But I must, in good conscience, protest against any unnecessary suppression of our ancient rights as free men...we will win the contest of ideas that afflicts the world not by suppressing those rights, but by their triumph."[43]
Stevenson proved to be a popular public speaker and gained a national reputation as an intellectual, with a self-deprecating sense of humor to match. One example came when the Illinois legislature passed a bill (supported by bird lovers) declaring that cats roaming unescorted was a public nuisance. Stevenson vetoed the bill and sent this public message regarding the veto: "It is in the nature of cats to do a certain amount of unescorted roaming... the problem of cat versus bird is as old as time. If we attempt to solve it by legislation who knows but what we may be called upon to take sides as well in the age old problem of dog versus cat, bird versus bird, or even bird versus worm. In my opinion, the State of Illinois and its local governing bodies already have enough to do without trying to control feline delinquency. For these reasons, and not because I love birds the less or cats the more, I veto and withhold my approval from Senate Bill No. 93."[44]
On June 2, 1949, Stevenson privately gave a sworn deposition as a character witness for Alger Hiss, a former State Department official who was later found to be a spy for the Soviet Union.[45] Stevenson had infrequently worked with Hiss, first in the legal division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in 1933 and then in 1945, 1946, and 1947 on various United Nations projects, but he was not a close friend or associate of him.[46] In the deposition, Stevenson testified that the reputation of Hiss for integrity, loyalty, and veracity was good.[47] In 1950, Hiss was found guilty of perjury on the spying charges.[45] Stevenson's deposition, according to his biographer Porter McKeever, would later be used in the 1952 presidential campaign by Senators Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon to "inflame public opinion and attack Adlai as 'soft on communism'."[48] In the 1952 campaign, Senator Nixon would claim that Stevenson's "defense of Hiss" reflected such "poor judgment" on his part that "doubt was cast about Adlai's capacity to govern."[47] In a 1952 appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, Stevenson responded to a question about his deposition for Hiss by saying, "I'm a lawyer. I think that one of the most fundamental responsibilities... particularly of lawyers, is to give testimony in a court of law, to give it honestly and willingly, and it will be a very unhappy day for Anglo-Saxon justice when a man, even in public life, is too timid to state what he knows and what he has heard about a defendant in a criminal trial for fear that defendant might later be convicted. That would to me be the ultimate timidity."[49]
1952 presidential bid
[edit]
Early in 1952, while Stevenson was still governor of Illinois, President Harry S. Truman decided that he would not seek another term as president. Instead, Truman met with Stevenson in Washington and proposed that Stevenson seek the Democratic nomination for president; Truman promised him his support if he did so. Stevenson at first hesitated, arguing that he was committed to running for a second gubernatorial term in Illinois. However, a number of his friends and associates (such as George Wildman Ball) quietly began organizing a "draft Stevenson" movement for president; they persisted in their activity even when Stevenson (both publicly and privately) told them to stop. When Stevenson continued to state that he was not a candidate, President Truman and the Democratic Party leadership looked for other prospective candidates. However, each of the other main contenders had a major weakness. Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee won most of the presidential primaries and entered the 1952 Democratic National Convention with the largest number of delegates, but he was unpopular with President Truman and other prominent Democrats. In 1950, Kefauver had chaired a Senate committee that traveled to several large cities and held televised hearings into organized crime. The hearings revealed connections between organized-crime syndicates and big-city Democratic political organizations, which led Truman and other Democratic leaders to oppose Kefauver's bid for the nomination: "a machine politician and proud of it, [Truman] had no use for reformers who blackened the names of fellow Democrats."[50] Truman favored U.S. diplomat W. Averell Harriman, but he had never held elected office and was inexperienced in national politics. Truman next turned to his vice-president, Alben Barkley, but at 74 years of age he was dismissed as being too old by labor union leaders. Senator Richard Russell Jr. of Georgia was popular in the South and his campaign easily won the Florida primary, but his support for racial segregation and opposition to civil rights for blacks made him unacceptable to Northern and Western Democrats. In the end, Stevenson, despite his reluctance to run, remained the most attractive candidate heading into the 1952 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
At the convention, Stevenson, as governor of the host state, was assigned to give the welcoming address to the delegates. His speech was so stirring and witty that it invigorated efforts to secure the nomination for him, in spite of his continued protests that he was not a presidential candidate. In his welcoming speech he poked fun at the 1952 Republican National Convention, which had been held in Chicago in the same coliseum two weeks earlier. Stevenson described the achievements of the Democratic Party under Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, but noted "our Republican friends have said it was all a miserable failure. For almost a week pompous phrases marched over this landscape in search of an idea, and the only idea that they found was that the two great decades of progress...were the misbegotten spawn of bungling, of corruption, of socialism, of mismanagement, of waste and worse...after listening to this everlasting procession of epithets about our [party's] misdeeds I was even surprised the next morning when the mail was delivered on time. But we Democrats were by no means the only victims here. First they [Republicans] slaughtered each other, and then they went after us...perhaps the proximity of the stockyards accounts for the carnage."[51]
Following this speech, the Illinois delegation (led by Jacob Arvey) announced that they would place Stevenson's name in nomination, and Stevenson called President Truman to ask if "he would be embarrassed" if Stevenson formally announced his candidacy for the nomination. Truman told Stevenson "I have been trying since January to get you to say that. Why should it embarrass me?"[52] Kefauver led on the first ballot, but was well below the vote total he needed to win. Stevenson gradually gained strength until he was nominated on the third ballot.[52] The 1952 Democratic National Convention was the last political convention of either major party to require more than one ballot to nominate a presidential candidate.[53]
Historian John Frederick Martin says party leaders selected Stevenson because he was "more moderate on civil rights than Estes Kefauver, yet nonetheless acceptable to labor and urban machines—so a coalition of southern, urban, and labor leaders fell in behind his candidacy in Chicago".[54] Stevenson's 1952 running mate was Senator John Sparkman of Alabama.
Stevenson accepted the Democratic nomination with an acceptance speech that, according to contemporaries, "electrified the delegates:"[55]
When the tumult and the shouting die, when the bands are gone and the lights are dimmed, there is the stark reality of responsibility in an hour of history haunted with those gaunt, grim specters of strife, dissension, and materialism at home, and ruthless, inscrutable, and hostile power abroad. The ordeal of the twentieth century – the bloodiest, most turbulent age of the Christian era – is far from over. Sacrifice, patience, understanding, and implacable purpose may be our lot for years to come. ... Let's talk sense to the American people! Let's tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains, that we are now on the eve of great decisions.
Although Stevenson's eloquent oratory and thoughtful, stylish demeanor impressed many intellectuals, journalists, political commentators, and members of the nation's academic community, the Republicans and some working-class Democrats ridiculed what they perceived as his indecisive, aristocratic air. During the 1952 campaign Stewart Alsop, a powerful Connecticut Republican, labeled Stevenson an "egghead", based on his baldness and intellectual air. His brother, the influential newspaper columnist Joe Alsop, used the word to underscore Stevenson's difficulty in attracting working-class voters, and the nickname stuck.[56] Stevenson himself made fun of his "egghead" nickname; in one speech he joked "eggheads of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your yolks!" In his campaign speeches Stevenson strongly criticized the Communist-hunting tactics of Senator Joseph McCarthy, labeling "McCarthy's kind of patriotism" as "a disgrace" and ridiculing right-wing Republicans "who hunt Communists in the Bureau of Wildlife and Fisheries while hesitating to aid the gallant men and women who are resisting the real thing in the front lines of Europe and Asia...they are finally the men who seemingly believe that we can confound the Kremlin by frightening ourselves to death."[57] In return, Senator McCarthy stated in a speech that "he would like to get on the Stevenson campaign trail with a club and thereby make a good and loyal American out of the governor".[56]
In the 1952 campaign, Stevenson also developed a strong dislike for Richard M. Nixon, then the GOP vice-presidential candidate. "Adlai literally loathed Nixon. No other person aroused such disgust; not even Joseph McCarthy...Friends who often wished he could be more of a hater were awed at the strength of his distaste for Nixon."[58] A biographer wrote that "for Stevenson, Nixon was an ambitious, unprincipled partisan who craved winning, the exact personification of what was wrong with modern American politics...[for Stevenson] Nixon was an entirely plastic politician...Nixon was Stevenson's complete villain. Others sensed the potential for immorality that led to Nixon's humiliating resignation in 1974, but Stevenson was among the first."[59] During the 1952 campaign Stevenson often used his wit to attack Nixon, and once stated that Nixon "was the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, and then mount the stump and make a speech for [tree] conservation".[60]
Journalist David Halberstam later wrote that "Stevenson [was] an elegant campaigner who raised the political discourse" and that in 1952 "Stevenson reinvigorated [the Democratic Party] and made it seem an open and exciting place for a generation of younger Americans who might otherwise never have thought of working for a political candidate."[57] During the campaign, a photograph revealed a hole in the sole of Stevenson's right shoe.[61] This became a symbol of Stevenson's frugality and earthiness. The Eisenhower campaign attempted to use the symbol of the shoe with a hole to criticize Stevenson in advertising, to which Stevenson said, “Better a hole in the shoe than a hole in the head.”[62] Photographer William M. Gallagher of the Flint Journal won the 1953 Pulitzer prize on the strength of the image.[63]
Stevenson did not use television as effectively as his Republican opponent, war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower, and was unable to rally the New Deal voting coalition for one last hurrah. Historian Richard Aldous wrote "Occasionally persuasive, [Stevenson] was rarely compelling and, unlike Eisenhower, he lacked any kind of rapport or common touch with large crowds. He also failed to respond quickly enough to Eisenhower's pioneering use of TV. Both candidates resisted the new medium at first, but Ike relented sooner. He used "Mad Men" advertising executive Rosser Reeves of the Ted Bates agency to create brilliant thirty-second TV spots. Ironically, Stevenson came across well on TV, but his arrogant nature caused him to minimize it in the campaign. "This is the worst thing I've ever heard of," he scoffed, "selling the presidency like breakfast cereal!" That attitude left him behind the curve."[64] On election day, Eisenhower won the national popular vote by 55% to 45%. Stevenson lost heavily outside the Solid South; he carried only nine states and lost the Electoral College vote 442 to 89. In his concession speech on election night, Stevenson said: "Someone asked me...how I felt, and I was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell – Abraham Lincoln. He said he felt like the little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark. He said that he was too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh."[65]
Biographer Jean H. Baker summarized Stevenson's 1952 campaign: "Uncomfortable with the carnival side of elections, Stevenson tried to be a man for the people, not of them; a man of reason talking sense, not manipulation or sentiment."[66] "Liberals...were attracted to the Illinois governor because he firmly opposed McCarthyism, [and] they also appreciated Stevenson because of his style...he had clearly dissociated himself, as did many Americans, from the plebians. Stevenson dramatized the complex feelings of educated elites, some of whom came to adore him not because he was a liberal, but because he was not...he spoke a language that set apart from average Americans an increasingly college-educated population. His approach to voters as rational participants in a process that depended on weighing the issues attracted reformers, intellectuals, and middle-class women with time and money (the "Shakespeare vote", joked one columnist). Or as one enthralled voter wrote "You were too good for the American people."[67] "Adlai Stevenson ended the 1952 campaign with an adoring group of Stevensonites. Articulate and loyal...they would soon create the Stevenson legend and make the Man from Libertyville a counterhero to President Eisenhower, whom they would portray as inept and banal."[68]
1953 World Tour and 1954 elections
[edit]
Following his defeat, Stevenson in 1953 made a well-publicized world tour through Asia, the Middle East and Europe, writing about his travels for Look magazine. His political stature as head of the Democratic Party gave him access to many foreign leaders and dignitaries. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1953.[69] In the 1954 off-year elections, Stevenson took a leading role in campaigning for Democratic congressional and gubernatorial candidates around the nation. When the Democrats won control of both houses of Congress and picked up nine gubernatorial seats it "put Democrats around the country in Stevenson's debt and greatly strengthened his position as his party's leader."[70]
1956 presidential bid
[edit]
Unlike 1952, Stevenson was an announced, active candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1956.[71] Initially, with polls showing Eisenhower headed for a landslide re-election, few Democrats wanted the 1956 nomination, and Stevenson hoped that he could win the nomination without a serious contest, and without entering any presidential primaries.[72] However, on September 24, 1955, Eisenhower suffered a serious heart attack. Although he recovered and eventually decided to run for a second term, concerns about his health led two prominent Democrats, Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver and New York Governor Averell Harriman, to decide to challenge Stevenson for the Democratic nomination.[73] After being told by his aides that he needed to enter and win several presidential primaries to defeat Kefauver and Harriman, Stevenson officially entered the race on November 16, 1955, and campaigned in the Minnesota, Florida, and California primaries.[74][75] Stevenson was upset in the Minnesota primary by Kefauver, who successfully portrayed him as a "captive" of corrupt Chicago political bosses and "a corporation lawyer out of step with regular Democrats".[76] Stevenson next battled Kefauver in the Florida primary, where he agreed to debate Kefauver on radio and television.[77] Stevenson later joked that in Florida he had appealed to the state's citrus farmers by "bitterly denouncing the Japanese beetle and fearlessly attacking the Mediterranean fruit fly".[77] He narrowly defeated Kefauver in Florida by 12,000 votes, and then won the California primary over Kefauver with 63% of the vote, effectively ending Kefauver's presidential bid.[77]
At the 1956 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, former President Truman endorsed Governor Harriman, to Stevenson's dismay, but the blow was softened by former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt's continued enthusiastic support.[78] Stevenson easily defeated Harriman on the first ballot, winning his second Democratic presidential nomination.[79] He was aided by strong support from younger delegates, who were said to form the core of the "New Politics" movement. In a bid to raise enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket, Stevenson made the unusual decision to leave the selection of his running mate up to the convention delegates.[79] This set off a frantic scramble among several prominent Democrats to win the vice-presidential nomination, including Kefauver, Senator Hubert Humphrey, and Senator John F. Kennedy. After fending off a surprisingly strong challenge from Kennedy, Kefauver narrowly won the vice-presidential nomination on the second ballot.[80] In his acceptance speech, Stevenson spoke of his plan for a "New America", which included extending New Deal programs to "areas of education, health, and poverty".[81] He also criticized Republicans for trying to "merchandise candidates like breakfast cereal".[80]
Following his nomination, Stevenson waged a vigorous presidential campaign, delivering 300 speeches and traveling 55,000 miles (89,000 km); he crisscrossed the nation three times before the election in November.[82] Robert F. Kennedy traveled with the Stevenson campaign, hoping to "take home some lessons on how to manage a presidential campaign".[82] Kennedy was deeply disillusioned by Stevenson's campaign, later saying that "I thought it was ghastly. It was poorly organized...my feeling was that he had no rapport with his audience – no comprehension of what campaigning required, no ability to make decisions...In 1952 I had been crazy about him...Then I spent six weeks with him on the campaign and he destroyed it all." Kennedy voted for Eisenhower in November.[83] For their part, Stevenson and many of his aides resented Kennedy's attitude during his stay with the campaign; Stevenson friend and aide George W. Ball recalled "My impression was that Bobby was a very surly and arrogant young man...he wasn't doing any good for Adlai. I don't know why we had him along."[84] The tension that developed between Stevenson and Robert Kennedy would have significant consequences for the 1960 presidential campaign, and for Stevenson's relationships with both John and Robert Kennedy during President Kennedy's administration.[85]
Against the advice of many of his political advisers, Stevenson insisted on calling for an international ban to aboveground nuclear weapons tests, and for an end to the military draft.[86] Despite strong criticism from President Eisenhower and other leading Republicans, such as Vice President Nixon and former New York Governor Thomas Dewey, that his proposals were naïve and would benefit the Soviet Union in the Cold War, Stevenson held his ground and said in various speeches that "Earth's atmosphere is contaminated from week to week by exploding hydrogen bombs...We don't want to live forever in the shadow of a radioactive mushroom cloud... [and] growing children are the principal potential sufferers" of increased strontium 90 in the atmosphere.[87] In the end, Stevenson's push to ban atmospheric nuclear bomb tests "cost him dearly in votes," but "Adlai finally won the verdict," as Eisenhower suspended above-ground nuclear tests in 1958, President Kennedy would sign the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty into law in 1963, and President Nixon would end the military draft in 1973.[88]
Civil rights was emerging rapidly as a major political issue. Stevenson urged caution and warned against aggressive enforcement of the Supreme Court's Brown decision in order to gain Southern white support. Kotlowski writes:
Liberal Democrats, too, flinched before Brown. Adlai E. Stevenson, front-runner for the party's presidential nomination in 1956, urged the government to "proceed gradually" on school desegregation in deference to the South's long-held "traditions". Stevenson backed integration but opposed using armed personnel to enforce Brown.... It certainly helped. Stevenson carried most of Dixie in the fall campaign but received just 61 percent of the black vote, low for a Democrat, and lost the election to Eisenhower by a landslide.[89]
Stevenson's views on racial progress were described after his death by his long-time companion Marietta Tree as: "He thought of all Negroes as being loveable old family retainers and not as individuals like you and me who were longing to get educated and who had aspirations and dreams just like the rest of us. I think this took him a long time to get over--the fact that they really indeed not only were created equal; they wanted equality of opportunity and wanted it now. It was hard for him to understand the urgency."[90]
While President Eisenhower suffered heart problems, the economy enjoyed robust health. Stevenson's hopes for victory were dashed when, in October, Eisenhower's doctors gave him a clean bill of health and the Suez and Hungary crises erupted simultaneously. The public was not convinced that a change in leadership was needed. Stevenson lost his second bid for the presidency by a landslide, winning only 42% of the popular vote and 73 electoral votes from just seven states, all except Missouri in the solid Democratic South.
Early in 1957, Stevenson resumed law practice and allied himself with Judge Simon H. Rifkind to create a law firm based in Washington, DC. (Stevenson, Paul, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison), and a second firm in Chicago (Stevenson, Rifkind & Wirtz). Both law firms were related to New York City's Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Stevenson's associates in the new law firm included Willard Wirtz, William McCormick Blair Jr., and Newton N. Minow; each of these men later served in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. He also accepted an appointment, along with other prominent Democrats, to the new Democratic Advisory Council, which "pursued an aggressive line in attacking the [Republican] Eisenhower administration and in developing new Democratic policies".[91] He was also employed part-time by the Encyclopædia Britannica as a legal consultant.
1960 presidential campaign and appointment as UN Ambassador
[edit]
In early 1960, Stevenson announced that he would not seek a third Democratic presidential nomination, but would accept a draft. One of his closest friends told a journalist that "Deep down, he wants [the Democratic nomination]. But he wants the [Democratic] Convention to come to him, he doesn't want to go to the Convention."[74] In May 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy, who was actively campaigning for the Democratic nomination, visited Stevenson at his Libertyville home. Kennedy asked Stevenson for a public endorsement of his candidacy; in exchange Kennedy promised, if elected, to appoint Stevenson as his Secretary of State. Stevenson turned down the offer, which strained relations between the two men.[92] At the 1960 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, Stevenson's admirers, led by Eleanor Roosevelt, Agnes Meyer, and such Hollywood celebrities as Dore Schary and Henry Fonda, vigorously promoted him for the nomination, even though he was not an announced candidate.[93] JFK's campaign manager, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, reportedly threatened Stevenson in a meeting, telling him that unless he agreed to place his brother's name in nomination "you are through". Stevenson refused and ordered him out of his hotel room.[94] In letters to friends, Stevenson described both John and Robert Kennedy as "cold and ruthless", referred to Robert Kennedy as the "Black Prince", and expressed his belief that JFK, "though bright and able, was too young, too unseasoned, to be President; he pushed too hard, was in too much of a hurry; he lacked the wisdom of humility...[Stevenson felt] that both Kennedy and the nation would benefit from a postponement of his ambition."[95]
The night before the balloting, Stevenson began working actively for the nomination, calling the leaders of several state delegations to ask for their support. The key call went to Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, the leader of the Illinois delegation. The delegation had already voted to give Kennedy 59.5 votes to Stevenson's 2, but Stevenson told Daley that he now wanted the Democratic nomination, and asked him if the "delegates' vote might merely indicate they thought he was not a candidate".[96] Daley told Stevenson that he had no support in the delegation. Stevenson then "asked if this meant no support in fact or no support because the delegates thought he was not a candidate. Daley replied that Stevenson had no support." According to Stevenson's biographer John Bartlow Martin, the phone conversation with Daley "was the real end of the [1960] Stevenson candidacy...if he could not get the support of his home state his candidacy was doomed".[96] However, Stevenson continued to work for the nomination the next day, fulfilling what he felt were obligations to old friends and supporters such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Agnes Meyer.[97] Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota delivered an impassioned nominating speech for Stevenson, urging the convention to not "reject the man who has made us proud to be Democrats. Do not leave this prophet without honor in his own party."[98] However, Kennedy won the nomination on the first ballot with 806 delegate votes; Stevenson finished in fourth place with 79.5 votes.[98]
Once Kennedy won the nomination, Stevenson, always an enormously popular public speaker, campaigned actively for him. Due to his two presidential nominations and previous United Nations experience, Stevenson perceived himself an elder statesman and the natural choice for Secretary of State.[99] However, according to historian Robert Dallek, "neither Jack nor Bobby [Kennedy] thought all that well of Stevenson...they saw him as rather prissy and ineffective. [Stevenson] never met their standard of tough-mindedness." Stevenson's refusal to publicly endorse Kennedy before the Democratic Convention was something that Kennedy "couldn't forgive", with JFK telling a Stevenson supporter after the election, "I'm not going to give him anything."[92] The prestigious post of Secretary of State went instead to the (then) little-known Dean Rusk. However, "although Jack and Bobby would have been just as happy to freeze Stevenson out of the administration, they felt compelled to offer him something" due to his continued support from progressive Democrats.[92] President Kennedy offered Stevenson the choice of becoming ambassador to Britain, attorney general (a post that eventually went to Robert Kennedy), or United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Stevenson accepted the UN position.[92]
Many years later, it was revealed that during the campaign Stevenson was approached by Soviet Ambassador Menshikov who offered Soviet financial and public relations help to assist him in getting elected if he decided to run. Stevenson flatly rejected the Soviet offer, telling Menshikov that he "considered the offer of such assistance highly improper, indiscreet and dangerous to all concerned". Stevenson then reported the incident directly to President Eisenhower.[100]
Ambassador to the United Nations, 1961 to 1965
[edit]
At the United Nations, Stevenson worked hard to support U.S. foreign policy, even when he personally disagreed with some of President Kennedy's actions. However, he was often seen as an outsider in the Kennedy administration, with one historian noting "everyone knew that Stevenson's position was that of a bit player".[101] Kennedy told his adviser Walt Rostow that "Stevenson wouldn't be happy as president. He thinks that if you talk long enough you get a soft option and there are very few soft options as president."[102]
Bay of Pigs incident
[edit]
In April 1961 Stevenson suffered the greatest humiliation of his diplomatic career in the Bay of Pigs invasion. After hearing rumors that "a lot of refugees wanted to go back and overthrow Castro", Stevenson voiced his skepticism about an invasion, but "he was kept on the fringes of the operation, receiving...nine days before the invasion, only an unduly vague briefing by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr." and the CIA.[103] Senior CIA official Tracy Barnes told Stevenson and his staff that "there was going to be a clandestine operation in Cuba...it was strictly a Cuban affair. It would have some American cooperation, but only with the training and financing."[104] According to historian Peter Wyden, Barnes did not tell Stevenson that there would be a large-scale invasion of Cuba, nor did he provide details about the full extent of American support for, and involvement with, the Cuban rebels, nor did he tell Stevenson about the planned air strikes to destroy Castro's air force.[105] Kennedy Library historian Sheldon Stern interviewed Ambassador Charles W. Yost, Stevenson's deputy, who attended the meeting and confirmed that Yost had been suspicious of the story from the start. Yost agreed that this was another one of the CIA's "clumsy tricks". Assistant Secretary of State Harlan Cleveland, who attended the briefing, felt that Barnes was too evasive in his description of the operation, and that it was clear that Stevenson was not to be given the full details of the invasion plan.[105] Historian Garry Wills has written that "news of the invasion was leaking out...Castro knew the landings would occur; only Adlai Stevenson was kept in the dark" about the invasion by President Kennedy and his aides.[106]
Kennedy, anticipating that Stevenson might be angered at being left out of the discussions over whether to invade Cuba, told Schlesinger that "the integrity and credibility of Adlai Stevenson constitute one of our great national assets. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that", and he asked Schlesinger to let Stevenson know that the president was shielding him from many of the details to protect him in case the clandestine operation failed.[107] Instead, as Robert Dallek has written, "by leaving him out of the discussion it led to his humiliation". Unaware that the anti-Castro Cuban exiles landing at the Bay of Pigs were being armed and assisted directly by the CIA and US Navy, and that American pilots were participating in bombing raids of Cuban targets, Stevenson unwittingly "repeated a CIA cover story in a speech before the UN General Assembly".[103] He argued that the rebels were not assisted in any way by the U.S. government; when this claim was proven to be false Stevenson complained that "I took this job on the understanding that I would be consulted and kept fully informed on everything. Now my credibility has been compromised and therefore my usefulness."[108] When he told his friend Harlan Cleveland that his own government had "deliberately tricked" him into believing there was no direct American involvement in the invasion, Cleveland replied "I feel as betrayed as you do."[109] Stevenson seriously considered resigning, but was convinced by his friends and President Kennedy to stay.[110]
Cuban Missile Crisis
[edit]
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, Stevenson gave a presentation at an emergency session of the Security Council.[111] In his presentation, which attracted national television coverage, he forcefully asked Soviet UN representative Valerian Zorin if his country was installing nuclear missiles in Cuba, and when Zorin appeared reluctant to reply, Stevenson punctuated with the demand "Don't wait for the translation, [answer] 'yes' or 'no'!"[112][113] When Zorin replied that "I am not in an American court of law, and therefore do not answer a question put to me in the manner of a prosecuting counsel...you will have your answer in due course", Stevenson retorted, "I am prepared to wait for my answer until Hell freezes over."[112] Stevenson then showed photographs taken by a U-2 spy plane which proved the existence of nuclear missiles in Cuba, just after Zorin had implied they did not exist.[114]
Stevenson also attended several meetings of the EXCOMM at the White House during the Missile Crisis, where he boldly proposed to make an exchange with the Soviets: if they would remove their missiles from Cuba, the United States would agree to remove its obsolete Jupiter missiles from Turkey. However, he faced strong opposition from some other EXCOMM members, who regarded such an exchange as a sign of weakness. According to Kennedy adviser and Stevenson friend George W. Ball, who was present, these members "intemperately upbraided Stevenson...[and were] outraged and shrill".[115] However, President Kennedy remarked "You have to admire Adlai, he sticks to his position even when everyone is jumping on him", and Robert Kennedy wrote that "Stevenson has since been criticized for the position he took at the meeting...although I disagreed strongly with his recommendations, I thought he was courageous to make them, and I might add that they made as much sense as some others considered during that period of time."[116] Stevenson remarked "I know that most of those fellows will consider me a coward for the rest of my life for what I said today, but perhaps we need a coward in the room when we are talking about nuclear war."[117] In fact, the Kennedy Administration did remove the Jupiter-class MRBMs from Italy and Turkey some six months after the Cuban Missile Crisis ended, and there is evidence that President Kennedy privately agreed that, if the Soviets would remove their missiles from Cuba, he would remove the Jupiter missiles from Turkey and Italy at a later date.[118] The deal was kept a secret for many years, however, and Stevenson was thus given no credit for his original suggestion.[119]
In December 1962 journalists Stewart Alsop and Charles Bartlett published an article about the Missile Crisis in the Saturday Evening Post. The article quoted a "non-admiring official" who claimed that Stevenson "Wanted a Munich. He wanted to trade U.S. bases for Cuban bases" and generally portrayed Stevenson's behavior and actions during the Missile Crisis as weak and inept.[120] Stevenson was deeply angered by the article, especially as it was widely believed that the "non-admiring" official who criticized Stevenson was President Kennedy himself – "Kennedy had fed the Stevenson story to Alsop and Bartlett, partly because it enabled him to look strong" in comparison to Stevenson.[120] However, a number of Stevenson's friends and supporters, such as historian and White House aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr., came to Stevenson's defense. Schlesinger told Kennedy "The suggestion in the Alsop-Bartlett story that Stevenson favored a Caribbean Munich is grossly unfair and shows the number of people who still have their knives out for him."[121] Stevenson, knowing that Bartlett was a close friend of President Kennedy, assumed that the article had been written with Kennedy's permission and let the president know through friends that if Kennedy had wanted him to resign, "he did not have to go about it in such a roundabout fashion."[122] Kennedy told Stevenson that he did not want him to resign and had his Press Secretary, Pierre Salinger, release a letter to the press praising Stevenson's performance during the Missile Crisis.[123] Although the letter did "cause the public furor to die down... for months Washington continued to buzz over what everyone saw as an effort to force Adlai's resignation", and Stevenson friend George Ball later said that the "injury inflicted by the magazine article lingered on and on... After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Adlai was only going through the motions. From then on, he knew he was not going to have an impact on foreign policy."[124]
Kennedy assassination and Vietnam War
[edit]
During his time as UN Ambassador, Stevenson often traveled around the country promoting the United Nations in speeches and seminars. On these trips, he frequently faced opposition and protests from groups skeptical of the United Nations, such as the right-wing John Birch Society. On October 25, 1963, Stevenson spoke in Dallas, Texas, where he was heckled and spat upon by unruly protestors led by retired General Edwin Walker's "National Indignation Convention". At one point a woman hit Stevenson on the head with a sign, leading Stevenson to remark "is she animal or human?", and telling a policeman "I don't want her to go to jail, I want her to go to school."[125] Afterwards, Stevenson warned President Kennedy's advisers about the "ugly and frightening" mood he had found in Dallas, but he did not discuss his concerns directly with Kennedy before the president's visit to Texas in late November 1963.[126] On November 22, Stevenson was attending a luncheon held by the Chilean ambassador when he was informed that Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. He told friends and aides "That Dallas! Why, why, didn't I insist that he not go there?"[127]
After President Kennedy was assassinated, Stevenson continued to serve in his position as Ambassador to the UN under President Lyndon Johnson. As the country moved toward the 1964 presidential election, the war in Vietnam became an important campaign issue. The Republican presidential candidate, Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, advocated victory in Vietnam—a rollback strategy that Johnson denounced as tantamount to nuclear war. Stevenson was not a major player on the Vietnam issue. He did support Johnson publicly and in private because he believed in the containment of communism, but he also wanted to start negotiations with North Vietnam through the United Nations, which Johnson rejected.[128]
Death and legacy
[edit]
In July 1965, Stevenson traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.[129] After the conference he stopped in London for several days, where he visited UK Prime Minister Harold Wilson, discussed the situation in South Vietnam with British officials, and was interviewed by CBS newsman Eric Sevareid.[129] On the afternoon of July 14, while walking in London with his aide and girlfriend Marietta Tree to Grosvenor Square, Stevenson suffered a massive heart attack, and died later that day at age 65 of heart failure at St George's Hospital.[130][131][132] Marietta Tree recalled:
As we were walking along the street he said do not walk quite so fast and do hold your head up Marietta. I was burrowing ahead trying to get to the park as quickly as possible and then the next thing I knew, I turned around and I saw he'd gone white, gray really, and he fell and his hand brushed me as he fell and he hit the pavement with the most terrible crack and I thought he'd fractured his skull.
That night in her diary, she wrote, "Adlai is dead. We were together."[133] Following memorial services at the United Nations General Assembly Hall (on July 19, 1965), and in Washington, D.C.; Springfield, Illinois; and Bloomington, Illinois, Stevenson was interred in the family plot in Evergreen Cemetery, Bloomington, Illinois. The funeral in Bloomington's Unitarian Church was attended by many national figures, including President Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., who served as one of his speechwriters, described Stevenson as a "great creative figure in American politics. He turned the Democratic Party around in the fifties and made JFK possible...to the United States and the world he was the voice of a reasonable, civilized, and elevated America. He brought a new generation into politics, and moved millions of people in the United States and around the world."[134]
Journalist David Halberstam wrote that "Stevenson's gift to the nation was his language, elegant and well-crafted, thoughtful and calming."[57] His biographer Jean H. Baker stated that Stevenson's memory "still survives...as an expression of a different kind of politics – nobler, more issue-oriented, less compliant to the greedy ambitions of modern politicians, and less driven by public opinion polls and the media."[135]
W. Willard Wirtz, his friend and law partner, once said "If the Electoral College ever gives an honorary degree, it should go to Adlai Stevenson."[136]
Halberstam wrote of Stevenson that
he had played a historic role for his party, twice its presidential candidate, the first time running against impossible odds in 1952, at the height of the Korean War and McCarthyism, with the [Democratic] party already decaying from the scandals of twenty years in power. Running against the great hero of the era, Dwight Eisenhower, Stevenson had lost, of course, but his voice had seemed special in that moment, a voice of rationality and elegance. In the process of defeat, he had helped to salvage the party, giving it a new vitality and bringing to its fold a whole new generation of educated Americans, volunteers now in the political process, some very professional amateurs who would be masterly used by the Kennedys in 1960. If John and Robert Kennedy seemed to symbolize style in politics, much of that was derived directly from Stevenson. He had, at what should have been a particularly low point for the party, managed to keep it vibrant and vital, and to involve a new kind of people in politics.[137]
His biographer Jean H. Baker wrote of Stevenson's two presidential campaigns in 1952 and 1956 that "what would be remembered...were not his public programs and ideas for a New America but, ironically, the private man – his character and personality, his wit and charm, his efforts to negotiate and keep the peace within the Democratic Party, his elegant speeches, and the grace with which he accepted defeat."[138]
The Central Illinois Regional Airport near Bloomington has a whimsical statue of Stevenson, sitting on a bench with his feet propped on his briefcase and his head in one hand, as if waiting for his flight. He is depicted wearing shoes that had a hole in the sole, from having walked many miles during his election campaign. The shoe had become a symbol of his campaign.[139][140]
The Adlai E. Stevenson II Farm in Mettawa, Illinois, which was Stevenson's home from 1936 to 1965, is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
Adlai Stevenson II was inducted as a Laureate of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois and awarded the Order of Lincoln (the state's highest honor) by the governor of Illinois in 1965 in the area of government.[141]
In October 1965, the United States Post Office Department issued a 5 cent stamp in Bloomington, Illinois, to commemorate the life of Stevenson.[142]
Stevenson in popular culture
[edit]
In film and television
[edit]
Stevenson has been referenced in television episodes of The Simpsons in the episodes "Lisa the Iconoclast" and "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" (appearing in the latter in an educational film, with Harry Shearer providing the cartoon Stevenson's voice. In the former, a gag occurs, as the mob of Springfielders exhume the corpse of Jedediah, Willie mistakenly throws dirt over the flame of a candle vigil set in front of Adlai's grave). He has also been referenced in The Golden Girls,[143] Happy Days (in the January 28, 1975, episode "The Not Making of the President")[144] and Mystery Science Theater 3000's presentation of Manos: The Hands of Fate (a Stevenson lookalike buys a car and one of the MST3K characters comments on it). Murphy Brown briefly names her newborn son 'Adlai Stevenson'. He was also mentioned in The West Wing (Arnold Vinick compares himself to Stevenson, the latter having been nominated twice to run for president)[145]
Stevenson has also been referenced in films. Peter Sellers claimed that his portrayal of President Merkin Muffley in Dr. Strangelove was modeled on Stevenson.[146] Stevenson's "Don't wait for the translation" speech to Russian ambassador Valerian Zorin during the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired dialogue in a courtroom scene in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.[147] The historical speech itself is depicted in the 2000 film Thirteen Days with Michael Fairman playing Stevenson, as well as partially depicted in the 1974 television play The Missiles of October by Ralph Bellamy. Stevenson is also referenced in Wayne's World 2 ("Waynestock" is held in an Aurora, Illinois, park named for Stevenson), Plain Clothes (the high school is named for Stevenson), Annie Hall (Woody Allen's character tells a standup joke about the Stevenson-Eisenhower campaign) and Breakfast at Tiffany's.[148] Stevenson also appears in A Global Affair credited as himself.
In Pioneer One, a crowd-financed TV series published under a Creative Commons license, one of the characters introduces himself as "Adlai Steve DiLeo", named after Adlai Stevenson, "someone who ran three times for president unsuccessfully".[149]
In a parallel universe featured in the Sliders episode "The Return of Maggie Beckett", the German Wehrmacht breaks through the Allied lines in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, which causes World War II to drag on until 1947. General Eisenhower is relieved as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe and returns to the United States in disgrace. Consequently, Stevenson becomes president. The Stevenson administration makes the Roswell UFO incident in July 1947 public knowledge and signs the Reticulan-American Free Trade Agreement (RAFTA), giving the US access to advanced Reticulan technology. This leads to a human mission to Mars in the 1990s.
In the 2016 movie Bogie and Bacall, Stevenson was portrayed by actor Ryan Paevey.
In alternate history and science fiction
[edit]
Stevenson comes close to being assassinated by a 12-year-old in James Patrick Kelly's Hugo Award-winning novelette 1016 to 1 (1999).
In Robin Gerber's novel Eleanor vs. Ike, Stevenson suffers a fatal heart attack as he approaches the podium to accept the Democratic nomination in 1952. He is replaced as the Democratic presidential candidate by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
In the alternate history short story "The Impeachment of Adlai Stevenson" by David Gerrold included in the anthology Alternate Presidents, Stevenson is elected in 1952 after Dwight D. Eisenhower makes the mistake of accepting Joseph McCarthy as his running mate instead of Richard Nixon. He successfully runs for re-election in 1956, once again defeating General Eisenhower. However, he proves to be an extremely unpopular president.
In Michael P. Kube-McDowell's alternate history novel Alternities, Stevenson is mentioned as having been elected president in 1956 and serving for two terms, though he is quoted as describing his second term as a curse.
The alternate history novella "Southern Strategy" by Michael F. Flynn (Alternate Generals, volume two, Baen, 2002), is told entirely from Stevenson's point of view. In a world where the Kaiser's Germany is the leader of something resembling a free world in 1956, Stevenson is a former senator of the United States, which is in ruins after a Second American Civil War. The novella follows Stevenson's increasingly futile efforts to negotiate an armistice between League of Nations peacekeepers led by General Erwin Rommel and several disparate guerrilla-terrorist bands with differing agendas. One of the terrorist bands is led by Richard Nixon.
In the alternate history novel Dominion by C. J. Sansom, World War II ends in June 1940 when the British government, under the leadership of the Prime Minister Lord Halifax, signs a peace treaty with Nazi Germany in Berlin. Franklin D. Roosevelt is steadfast in his opposition to the Nazis and the treaty, which results in him losing the 1940 election to his Republican opponent, Robert A. Taft, who becomes the 33rd president. Taft is re-elected in 1944 and 1948 but Stevenson defeats him in 1952, becoming the 34th President. Shortly after Stevenson's election in November 1952, The Times, which is owned by the pro-Nazi British Prime Minister Lord Beaverbrook, speculates that Stevenson will follow in Roosevelt's footsteps and pursue an interventionist foreign policy regarding European affairs. Several weeks later, President-elect Stevenson gives a speech indicating that he intends to begin trading with the Soviet Union upon taking office on January 20, 1953.
In other media
[edit]
The writer Gore Vidal, who admired and supported Stevenson, based a main character in his 1960 Broadway play The Best Man on Stevenson. The play, which was nominated for six Tony Awards, centers on the contest for the presidential nomination at a fictitious political convention. One of the main contenders for the nomination is Secretary of State William Russell, a principled, liberal intellectual. The character is based on Stevenson; his main opponent is the ruthless, unscrupulous Senator Joseph Cantwell, whom Vidal modeled on Richard Nixon and the Kennedy brothers. The play was turned into a 1964 film of the same name, with actor Henry Fonda playing Russell. Fonda had been a Stevenson supporter at the 1960 Democratic National Convention.
The Avalanche, a 2006 album by Sufjan Stevens, contains a song called "Adlai Stevenson".

The Knicks pulled off quite a salute to their Captain.
In a ceremony/event that might be unprecedented in the NBA for just introducing a team captain, the Knicks opened MSG in August to honor Jalen Brunson’s new title with words from the greatest New York sports figures of the last 50-plus years.
Derek Jeter, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, David Wright, Aaron Judge, Michael Strahan, Mark Messier and Walt Frazier, among others, all congratulated Brunson in a video tribute on the arena’s Jumbotron.
“Man, I’ve enjoyed watching you continue to develop, get better year after year,” Jeter said. “And I look forward to that continuing, but also leading the Knicks back to where they belong.”
Billboards of Brunson were hung outside MSG with the slogan, “A New Capta11n in New York.” Inside the arena, Patrick Ewing, a former Knicks captain, was in the audience and listened to his narrated video introduction.
“People want to be around you, Jalen,” Ewing said. “You’re a born leader. … You were born to play basketball for the Knicks.”
Brunson agreed after he stepped onto the stage.
“It means a lot to me [to be captain] because it was something I was born to do,” Brunson told MSG Network emcee Alan Hahn with James Dolan, Leon Rose, Tom Thibodeau, Ben Stiller, Mikal Bridges and John Starks also in the crowd. “No matter what field I was in, no matter if I was a doctor or a lawyer or whatever — whatever I was going to be in life, I was going to lead.
“My parents told me never to be a follower. Always be a leader. And I really took it to heart. There were never times they said, ‘Now it’s time to be a leader, go do it.’ It just happened so naturally because that’s the mindset they gave me.”
Brunson revealed he was approached by Leon Rose, the team president, about the captaincy — “Obviously I said yes,” he said. “Who wouldn’t want to call themselves the captain of a franchise like this?”
Still, Brunson was surprised by Thursday’s spectacle. The captain of an NBA team, unlike in hockey or soccer, is often an afterthought.
The previous Knicks captain, for instance, is Lance Thomas.
But Brunson has connected with the city and fanbase on a different level, not to mention he just signed a team-friendly extension that keeps him in New York until at least 2028.
“I didn’t know [a ceremony for the team captain] was a thing. Especially in the NBA,” Brunson said. “It’s really cool.”
With Brunson as the top performer, the Knicks won 50 games last season — their most since 2013 — and made a second straight trip to the second round.
Next season, Brunson said, the goal is conference finals. The franchise hasn’t advanced that far in 24 years.
“What can we do to get past the second round? That’s our goal,” he said, clarifying later, “It’s nice to hear that we’re contenders, but I think we have to go into training camp without having that word be spoken. … Obviously I said I want to get past the second round after getting there two straight years. But we can’t just go into the season and jump right back into the second round. We’ve got to go back and start all over again.
“We have some new pieces and some familiar faces, so what can we do with it? What type of team do we want to be?”

Still, Brunson was surprised by Thursday’s spectacle. The captain of an NBA team, unlike in hockey or soccer, is often an afterthought.
The previous Knicks captain, for instance, is Lance Thomas.
But Brunson has connected with the city and fanbase on a different level, not to mention he just signed a team-friendly extension that keeps him in New York until at least 2028.
“I didn’t know [a ceremony for the team captain] was a thing. Especially in the NBA,” Brunson said. “It’s really cool.”
With Brunson as the top performer, the Knicks won 50 games last season — their most since 2013 — and made a second straight trip to the second round.
Next season, Brunson said, the goal is conference finals. The franchise hasn’t advanced that far in 24 years.
“What can we do to get past the second round? That’s our goal,” he said, clarifying later, “It’s nice to hear that we’re contenders, but I think we have to go into training camp without having that word be spoken. … Obviously I said I want to get past the second round after getting there two straight years. But we can’t just go into the season and jump right back into the second round. We’ve got to go back and start all over again.
“We have some new pieces and some familiar faces, so what can we do with it? What type of team do we want to be?”

NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Brunson gave the New York Knicks a $113 million discount in potential salary and they gave him the title of team captain.
Two seasons into a partnership that has helped produce the Knicks' greatest success in a quarter of a century, it's clear the team and player believe in each other. Now they have at least a few more years to determine if it can yield something more.
“This is literally just the beginning,” Brunson said Thursday.
The Knicks staged a ceremonial event at Madison Square Garden for Brunson, complete with former Knicks stars such as Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing and celebrities that included actor and Knicks fan Ben Stiller. Ewing narrated a video that included a picture of him with Brunson as a boy, when his father, Rick, played for the Knicks.
“People just want to be around you, Jalen,” Ewing said on the video. “You’re a born leader.”
That attracted the Knicks to Brunson just as much as his playing skills when they signed him in the summer of 2022. Coach Tom Thibodeau, who had Rick Brunson as one of his assistant coaches in Chicago and again in New York, watched Brunson grow up and noticed not only how hard he worked, but how other players gravitated to him.
But even some of those players couldn't be blamed if they questioned Brunson's financial sense this summer.
He signed a four-year contract extension that is worth about $156.5 million. Had Brunson finished the final year of his current deal next season and then become a free agent, he would have been eligible for a five-year, $269 million contract.
Other players have taken less than their maximum allowable salary. Few would even consider passing on an extra $113 million.
“I think about every decision that I make and I’m completely comfortable with what I’ve done,” Brunson said.
“Obviously I’m well off, myself and my family, we’re obviously well off, so that’s first and foremost. But I want to win. I want to win here.”
Brunson's financial sacrifice certainly helps make that easier, with harsher penalties for teams over the salary cap now part of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. And with the Knicks giving OG Anunoby a five-year deal worth more than $210 million, trading for Mikal Bridges and with Julius Randle also eligible for an extension, it wouldn't be easy to build a winning team and then keep it together, so Brunson doesn't question his decision.
“Winning trumps everything that I do individually,” Brunson said.
The Knicks have started to do that since convincing Brunson to leave the Dallas Mavericks. They have gone to the Eastern Conference semifinals in both seasons, after not getting there at all since 2013, and have won playoff series in back-to-back seasons for the first time since doing it nine straight years from 1992-2000.
Brunson led last season's 50-win team with 28.7 points per game, fourth in the NBA. He made his first All-Star team, finished fifth in the voting for the NBA's MVP award and then was brilliant in the postseason, becoming the first player since Michael Jordan with four straight postseason games of 40 or more points.
Still, Brunson said Thursday all he could think about from last season was breaking his hand in the second half of the Knicks' Game 7 loss to the Indiana Pacers in the second round.
The Knicks have built a team they think they can go further and Brunson is eager to lead it. He said he has studied players such as the Yankees' Derek Jeter and the Patriots' Tom Brady, who guided their franchises to multiple titles and were known for team-first approaches.
“People can say they want to do a lot of things, but it’s all about their actions," Brunson said. "Obviously this is no guarantee that we win a championship, right? This is just me wanting to do my part to help this team try and get one. So it’s all about the journey and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

On October 26, 1864, the notorious Confederate guerrilla leader William “Bloody Bill” Anderson is killed in Missouri in a Union ambush.
Born in the late 1830s, Anderson grew up in Missouri and moved to Kansas in the late 1850s. Arriving to settle on his father’s land claim east of Council Grove, Anderson was soon enmeshed in the bitter fight over slavery that gave the area the nickname “Bleeding Kansas.” Before the Civil War, he trafficked stolen horses and escorted wagon trains along the Santa Fe Trail. When the war broke out, Anderson joined an antislavery, pro-Union band of guerillas known as “Jayhawkers.” He soon switched sides and joined a band of pro-Confederate “Bushwhackers.” In the partisan warfare of Kansas and Missouri, these groups were often more interested in robbery, looting, and personal gain than advancement of a political cause.
After his father was killed in a dispute in 1862, Anderson and his brother Jim gunned down the killer and then moved back to western Missouri. Anderson became the head of a band of guerillas, and his activities cast a shadow of suspicion over the rest of his family. The Union commander along the border, General Thomas Ewing, arrested several wives and sisters of another notorious band, led by William Quantrill, that was terrorizing and murdering Union sympathizers. While Anderson commanded his own band, he often collaborated with Quantrill’s larger force. As a result, the group Ewing arrested also included three of Anderson’s sisters, who were imprisoned in a temporary Union jail in Kansas City, Missouri. On August 14, 1863, the structure collapsed, killing one of Anderson’s sisters along with several other women. Quantrill assembled more than 400 men to exact revenge against the abolitionist community of Lawrence, Kansas. On August 21, the band killed at least 150 residents and burned much of the town. Anderson was credited with 14 murders that day.

===========================================================================================
The Children of Samuel Ewing & Margaret (our ancestors)
I have to thank Jim McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America, for his help with this line of our family~ !
GEORGE EWING, was born about 1728/1729 in Cecil County, MD; he died about 1803 in Wythe County, Virginia. George went with his father to Prince Edward County, Virginia where he married Eleanor Caldwell. Following the death of his mother in 1770, he moved to Montgomery County, Virginia, settling on Cripple Creek. George was our direct ancestor.
He served in the militia at Guilford Court house during the Revolution. Birth and death dates for George's children come from, "Maury County Cousins - Bible and Family Records", p. 640.
Notes of Jim McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America:: 1753, 2 January, Amelia Co., VA Deed Book 5 page 36 : "Between Edward Brathwet [Brathwaite] and Bridgett his wife of one part and George Ewing 'Jr' of the other part for £20 did grant to the said George Ewing, 'Jr.' 9 acres of land situate in the Fork of Fort Creek bounded by the lines of Samuel Wallace, Robert Gillespie and Samuel Ewing." Witnesses were Hugh Challis, Samuel Ewing and Samuel Wallace. "at a court for Amelia Co., Va. 24 May 1753 this deed from Brathwet (sic) with Survey and endorsed thereon to George Ewing, Jr. was presented and proved by oaths of Hugh Challis, Samuel Ewing, and Samuel Wallace as witnesses-recorded by Samuel Cobb." (George Ewing, Jr. proves to be a son, eldest, of Samuel Ewing, and a nephew to George Ewing, Sr. "Jr." was over 21 in 1753 so born ca 1728-31.)
Mary Faggot, born about 1720, was living in Prince Edward County in May 1757 when the court ordered George Ewing, Sr., to appear in court to prove that he was holding (her son) Jethro Faggott, a "Molatto boy," under legal indentures. In October 1757 the court ruled that the indentures were not legal and ordered Mary to pay her witness Charles Irby 103 pounds of tobacco for testifying for her and travelling twenty-six miles from his home (in Amelia County). The court also ordered the churchwardens of St. Patrick's Parish to bind Jethro to Ewing on condition that he post a bond of 300 pounds currency not to remove him out of the colony [Orders 1754-8, 112, 127, 129]. Mary may have been identical to Mary Taggat, a white woman, whose "Molatto" son Peter was bound out by the churchwardens of Lunenburg County to Hugh Lawson on 9 July 1752 [Lunenburg County Orders 1752-3, 69].
The Will of George Ewing was located in the State Library and Archives Nashville, TN, Manuscript Division. It is dated 1 May 1803 and he is âof Wythe County state of Virginiaâ. Briefly it reads:
To beloved wife, Elenor during her natural life to live on land I now live with my son, James Ewing, and enjoy in common with James (other bequests to James) At the decease of my wife four negroes equally divided between my four sons: Samuel Ewing, John Ewing, George Ewing and James Ewing. Unto my daughter Elenor bequest. To George all part of my land lying on North Side of Cripple Creek whereon he now lives to be divided from my other land by a line, Cripple Creek being line and James all land on South side. Other bequests to Samuel, daughter Mary Ewing ten dollars and no more, to Margaret Purdom bequests. Order my still to be sold. Land in âKaintoukeyâ if discovered and obtained to be sold. To daughter Anne Cozbie ... Four sons to be executors. Signed Geo. Ewing [SEAL] witnesses were impossible to read!
The Will of George Ewing (above) dated 1 May 1803 is said to be recorded in Wythe Co., VA Records, Book Volume not given - page 284 - but unobtainable there. A Deed in Wythe Co. Deed Book #4 page 460, 1807 tells George Ewing died prior to 1807, it reads:
âSamuel Ewing laid off 325 acres on Cripple Creek in Wythe Co., Va. to George Ewing, agreeable to the last will and testament of his father, George Ewing, and 663 acres laid off to James Ewing adjoining his brother, George Ewing.â [Note: Samuel Ewing the eldest of George Ewing had already moved to Georgia. He and his brother, John Ewing, had already been given 225 acres each by their father in 1785 and 1786.]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexander Ewing(son of Samuel & Margaret) was born 1724/1733 in Cecil Co., MD; Note that Jim has a death date for Alexander of 16 October 1789 in Greene County, TN.
Notes of James R. McMichael, Genealogist -Clan Ewing of America: He married ca 1755/7 Rachel-Margaret Ewing, a daughter of Nathaniel and Rachel (Porter) Ewing of Cecil Co., MD. She is listed in I.G.I. as having been "baptised in 1734 in St. Anne's Parish, Cecil Co., MD child of Nathaniel and Rachel Ewing." In the Administration of the Estate of Nathaniel Ewing in 1750 "Rachel M(argaret) was about 15 years old." "Rachel Ewing died in Blount Co., TN 16 July 1823 at age 89." This is from a family Bible kept by George Ewing, her 2nd son, and was a part of his Pension Application.
"EWING In Early American Life," Alexander Ewing proves to be the second son of Samuel. ⢠1771, 19 October - Prince Edward Co., VA. Deed Book p127: âAlexander Ewing and wife, Rachel Ewing of Botetourt Co., Va. sell to Robert Powell 232 acres of land lying between Fort and Falling Creek by Samuel Wallaceâs line and Pugh Priceâs line.â
They have already moved to Botetourt Co., VA from which in 1772 FINCASTLE CO VA. was created and discontinued in 1777. From FINCASTLE, BOTETOURT and PULASKI COUNTIES, VA the county of MONTGOMERY VA was created 1776-77. WYTHE CO. VA was created 1789 from MONTGOMERY CO. VA and it is here we find George Ewing and Eleanor as well as children of Alexander Ewing died 1738 Cecil Co., MD.
Alexander Ewing, second son of Samuel Ewing died 1758 had already moved to Botetourt Co., Va. prior to 19 Oct 1771 (see page 216). We have been unable to acquire copies of Deeds to land he bought there. There is a record attached to the 14 April 1770 Deed 3 page 448 in Prince Edward Co., VA. dated 2 August 1770 reads:
âBotetourt County Va. to wit ... In obedience to the within Commission to us directed, we did go to the said Rachel Ewing, wife of Alexander Ewing and did examine her privily ... touching her relinquishment of her right of dower in 395 acres conveyed to John and Abraham Thompson, which she declared she was willing to do ... Certified under our hands and seals this second day of August, 1770.â Signed John Montgomery and William Herbert.
When Alexander Ewing Sr. and Rachel-Margaret moved to Greene Co., TN, we are not sure. It was there he wrote his will. Prior to that we find him in Montgomery Co., VA. According to Thwaites and Kellogâs Lord Dunmoreâs War of 1774 there is an Alexander, Sr. who enlisted in Capt. Robert Doaks Co. of Militia on June 2, 1774. The Alexander âJr.â who enlisted in the same company in Montgomery Co., VA. is the son of John Ewing the second son of Alexander and Rebeckah Ewing of Cecil Co., MD. Dr. John Connolly was sent by Lord Dunmore to Virginia to enlist aid to enforce the claims of Virginia in the controversy between Maryland and Virginia/Pennsylvania. Dr. Connolly was a half-brother to General James Ewing son of Thomas Ewing and Susanna (Howard) Patterson Ewing Connolly. Thomas Ewing was a brother to MY ANCESTOR, William Ewing.
WILL OF ALEXANDER EWING:
The book by M. and V. Brown Ewing-McCulloch-Buchanan Genealogy page 53 states that Alexander Ewing died in Blount Co., TN in 1828 but that statement is incorrect. His Will was located in Greene Co., TN in Will Book 1 page 7. It was written 16 October 1789 and âproven and recorded ___?___ 1789.â It was indexed under Erwin but clearly EWING in the will and in his signature. [Anne Kimball provided me with an abstract of his will, recognizing the name of his wife and those of his children. Bill Miner obtained a copy of the original and shared with me.] It reads, briefly:
âI Allaxander Ewing of Greene Co., TN being sick and weak of body ... give and bequeath ... in the following manner. To Rachal, my dearly beloved wife, the two negroes now in my possession as long as she remains in widowhood ... and allowing her a childâs part of the other cattle, etc ... I give to my well beloved son, Samuel, one £15 horse. I also leave to George, my second son a £15 horse. I leave to my third son, James, a bay colt four years old. I leave unto my son, William, one young mear (sic) three years. I also leave to my son John, one young mear three years old the ensuing spring ... to my son, Nathaniel, a young 3-year colt ... Rest to be divided equally only Samuel and George no more than what is mentioned ... Land I now live on to William and John, my sons, and a Plantation in the cove to Nathaniel. William and John to pay each to Nathaniel the sum of £20 each in good property. My daughter, Rachel, a mare ... to Margaret, daughter, a mear, feather bed and furniture ... daughter Rachel, the same....â

STATE OF KENTUCKY
COUNTY OF FAYETTE
AFFIDAVIT OF THOMAS EWING BULLEIT, JR.
On this day, Thomas Ewing Bulleit, Jr. appeared before me, the undersigned notary public. After I administered an oath to him, upon his oath, he said the following:
My name is Thomas Ewing Bulleit, Jr. I am competent to make this affidavit. The facts stated in this affidavit are within my personal knowledge or reported to me by others and to the best of my knowledge are true and correct.
In my opinion Tom’s “competency” is questionable because of his history of inconsistency in his statement of these facts and time periods. He has been inebriated at times, from his own admission. I was present when Tom Bulleit required help because he could not remember facts and incidents correctly.
As established, Tom Bulleit had been working for Diageo for some years when Diageo asked for this affidavit. It came around the same time that my father told me that Diageo wanted him to sign a morality clause in his upcoming contract with them. In my experience, companies do not ask for morality clauses without reason, that were not formerly present.
This is a clause that is usually asked for after an egregious incident(s) has occurred. In the decade and several negotiations with Diageo, I was never asked to sign a morality clause. Leading me to believe that a morality clause is not part of Diageo’s standard procedure. Tom Bulleit withheld the morality clause negotiations from his wife, Betsy Bulleit. I know this for a fact, because I told Betsy Bulleit assuming that she already knew and she was shocked and dismayed. Further leading me to believe that Diageo has been aware of Tom Bulleit’s inappropriate behavior in the workplace since 2011. This would have been after several people witnessed Tom manhandling/ bruising my upper arms at a Diageo work event.
2. I was born in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky on March 14, 1943 to Mary Orline Simpson Ballard and George Gage, and was adopted as an infant by Thomas Ewing Bulleit and Dorothy Heaton Bulleit, who had married in 1930. I have one sister, Mary Joseph Bulleit, also adopted by Thomas Ewing Bulleit and Dorothy Heaton Bulleit, and twelve half siblings by Mary Orline Simpson Ballard and her husband, Lawrence Ballard.
Tom met his biological mother in 1998 when he was in his late 50’s. He used his biological mother’s relative’s experience in the bourbon industry to qualify his own. You will see this pattern in several of the points below.
3. George Gage was killed in combat on Juno Beach during the Normandy invasion on June 22, 1944. He is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer/St, Laurent-sur-Mer, France.
4. I grew up in Louisville and Bardstown, Kentucky. I went to St. Francis of Rome Elementary School and Trinity High School, where I graduated in 1961.
5. In the summers of 1961 and 1962, I worked in the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, which Schenley Distilleries, Inc. owned. Schenley Distilleries distilled, aged, and bottled I.W. Harper and J. W. Dant bourbons at Bernheim. I worked in the mailroom and also collected data for each of the Distillery’s functions: from the storage silos, to the mills, to the meal room, to the scale room, to the slurry tanks, to the mash cookers, to the fermenter, to the beer well, to the beer still, to the condenser, to the storage tanks, to the barrel house and, finally, to the bottling facility.
I did not grow up with stories about my father working in the bourbon industry. Tom had not ever mentioned his job at Bernheim, nor with this much detail. In person, around 2011 he led me to believe that he had a position as a mail clerk, and no involvement whatsoever with the inner workings of the distillery. The paragraph above is a simple cut and paste from the Bulleit Round-up Training Manual. This manual was published around 2006 years after Tom Bulleit had been working for Diageo. I trained with this manual and I have a copy of it. He has told embellished versions of the story recently to the Bourbon Review and in his self-published memoir.
6. When I was working in the Distillery and my father saw that I was enjoying what I did there, he told me that we had a very old family recipe for bourbon, from my great-great-grandfather, Augustus Bulleit, which called for 2/3 corn, 1/3 rye. That ratio calls for more rye than most bourbon whiskey.
I did not hear this story until I after began working for Diageo in 2007. This background story seemed cultivated for the specific purposes of Diageo’s marketing and padding of Tom Bulleit’s lack of legacy or expertise in distilling. This was around the time that Diageo and Tom Bulleit began using the title “founder” to the ignorance of the general public hoping they would assume Tom Bulleit was also a master distiller.
The original Bulleit product released in the mid 1990’s was not this high rye product based on a family recipe, it was simply sourced and renamed whiskey. That was marketed as another more premium mark after Thoroughbred whiskey. Reader please note here in point #36 that Fran Taylor is not mentioned and Tom Bulleit takes complete credit for Meridian Communication’s input on the name and design of the Bulleit product (this contradicts the Bourbon Review October 2019 article).
The liquid only changed after Seagrams acquired Bulleit from Tom in 1998. I believe the current Bulleit high rye mash bill was inspired by the former master distiller of Seagrams (Four Roses). This was in part because Edgar Bronfman senior loved scotch because of rye grain flavor profile.
In my opinion, the Augustus/ High Rye story was Diageo’s marketing trying to build a myth and legitimacy around Tom Bulleit and the brand. Steve Beal announced to a room full of people at a Master of Whiskey dinner in San Francisco that he had been asked by Diageo to investigate Augustus Bulleit. Steve Beal said that after his findings it was impossible to prove whether or not Augustus existed at all. In a show of complete narcissism he declared: “I am and I made Bulleit bourbon.”
Afterwards, I spoke with several Diageo people about how we should stop selling this myth and stick with what was: a story about family entrepreneurialship (as in both Tom and Hollis Bulleit who were working on and for the brand since the beginning). Which Diageo ended up using the Tom Bulleit entrepreneurial platform and still do (and skipped over my portion of the true story). Using this half-truth effectively removed me from the story, and made Tom Bulleit seem like a legitimate businessman.
When I found out that Augustus Bulleit was a myth, I stopped speaking of him entirely in my sales pitches. To this day, both Tom Bulleit and Diageo continue to promote the myth in person, press, and social media.
7. My great-great-grandfather, Augustus Bulleit (possibly spelled “Boillett” at the time, based on U.S. Census records) was born in 1805 in France.
8, Augustus Bulleit emigrated from France to New Orleans, Louisiana in the early 1800s. In 1830, he travelled up the Mississippi and Ohio River to the Louisville, Kentucky area. Upon arriving there, he became a tavern keeper, farmer and grain miller, and began distilling his recipe of Kentucky bourbon.
Until I began to work for Diageo I did not know of this story. I have no other family members that can corroborate it. Tom Bulleit’s sister has told me that it is a bold face lie. And as said prior, former Master of Whiskey Steve Beal says that this was also a fabrication. Members of Proof Media Mix also ran their own investigation and said that they came up with nothing. A fake likeness sketch was commissioned of Augustus which to this day is still on display at Bulleit Visitor's Center.
9, Throughout the mid 1800s, we believe that Augustus Bulleit sold his bourbon in Kentucky, Indiana, Memphis and New Orleans. I am told that it travelled west with the pioneers who settled the American Frontier.
The first time I was aware of any of this was reading this affidavit in this detail for the first time. This story grew throughout the years I worked for Diageo. It began as just some guy maybe related to me named Augustus transporting something like hard liquor between Kentucky and New Orleans only. Tom Bulleit’s sister Mary Jo Willoughby said in front of my wife and I in 2016 that “there is no Augustus Bulleit.” The term “the American Frontier” is a complete marketing fabrication by the former marketing teams, and I know of no proof that Augustus' whiskey ever made it west of Kentucky.
10. Sometime before September 28, 1850, Augustus Bullett (according to Census records) moved to Harrison County, Indiana, and listed his profession as a grain miller. And on July 10, 1860 Augustus Boillett (according to Census records) listed his profession as farmer. Harrison County is across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
I did not hear this story in this detail until I read this affidavit, and note that it just talks about Augustus as a farmer. At best historically, he was moonshiner.
11. I was told that Augustus Bulleit continued to distill and sell bourbon from 1830 until 1860, when he disappeared while transporting barrels of his whiskey from Kentucky to New Orleans.
This simple story seemed to be the party line from 2008-2010. Not the rest of what is said above. I was directed to never use absolute dates. It could appear that Tom Bulleit was “told” by Diageo exactly what and whom Augustus did and was.
12. There is no record of Augustus Bulleit after 1860. There is no known death certificate, and the cause of death, whether due to an accident, natural causes, or a conflict, remains unknown.
I did not hear this story until I after began working for Diageo in 2007. I will say that over the years Tom Bulleit embellished the story of Augustus’ death and encouraged others in the sales force to do so also. He liked to say that Augustus was a playboy with several ladies in every port and possibly he had another family and just left his Kentucky family for his better looking more fun New Orleans family. This fabrication seems odd, and says a lot more about Tom Bulleit’s morals than the fabricated story (as you can see below in Tom’s point 13).
13. Some say he was murdered by his partner, others contend that he quietly vanished into the sumptuous life of the French Quarter.
14. John Joseph Bulleit, my great-grandfather, was born in 1844 in Indiana. He was a Civil War Veteran. He did not have any involvement in the bourbon business. He died in 1926.
I did not hear this story in this detail until I after began working for Diageo in 2007. I think it is a stretch to call this a family business that began with Augustus since distilling was not part of his son or grandson’s lives. I believe that Bulleit Bourbon officially started with Tom and I (there is no history to point to, recipe, paper trail, photographs, no vintage labels, etc).
15. Francis Amiel Bulleit, my grandfather, was born in Indiana in approximately 1864. He did not have any involvement in the family bourbon business. He lived for some years before his death in 1937, in the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
After Seagrams became interested in the whiskey Tom Bulleit took me to a graveyard in Indiana where I believe Francis was buried, and my father tried to act like this was enough proof that we were whiskey makers. And that we had it in our blood, but according to point #15, I think we had alcoholism in our blood. The Bulleits’ lost their fortune in the great stock market crash, along with their properties, and seemed to drink the rest of the fortune remaining away. My father told me Francis was kicked out of the family home and moved into the Seelbach hotel with his mistress.
16. Thomas Ewing Bulleit, my father, was born in Corydon, Indiana in 1907. He went to Notre Dame and moved to Louisville when he married my mother, Dorothy Heaton. He was also not involved in the family bourbon business. He was a purchasing agent for Delmonico Foods. He served in World War II in the Timberwolf division of George Patton’s 3rd Army. He suffered shrapnel wounds during the Battle of the Bulge and as a result lost one eye and lived with shrapnel in his brain. He was a quiet man, but he had a great sense of humor. He was active in the Catholic Church as well as the Knights of Columbus. He was also active in the Notre Dame Alumni Club of Kentucky, being named Man of the Year 1958-1959. He was well liked in the community and was known as “Big Tom”. He died in 1991. Dorothy Heaton Bulleit, my beloved mother, died in 1986.
I did not grow up with stories about my Grandfather being called “Big Tom”. I never heard anyone call him “Big Tom”. He passed when I was around 13 years old. “Big Tom” is a name my father has tried to get people to call him. I also was unaware of my Grandfather’s sense of humor. I saw him smile once and he rarely spoke. He had great taste in art like Tom Bulleit though, as his man cave was covered in paintings of dacshunds playing poker.
When we visited my grandparents, my grandfather spent a lot of time drinking beer in the basement watching ball games. My father said that his father had a drinking problem. Later, Tom Bulleit’s sister, Mary Jo Willoughby, said that my father had a drinking problem also beginning in high school and that he put his parents through a lot. My mother and my father both told me that Tom Bulleit had drinking problem to the point that affected Tom getting a college degree.
17. I attended the University of Kentucky from 1961 to 1966 and majored in English Literature with a joint minor in History and Business.
My mother and father told me that Tom studied English and History. Business as a major was not mentioned. Tom Bulleit’s education is not as streamlined as he would have one think. Tom has often said during sales pitches to groups of strangers that he was not a good student and he majored in “fraternity” or “drinking.” Certain degrees were acquired and completed at differing institutions and the timeline is messy.
I know that my father cannot type. And that my mother, Stephanie Bulleit, typed all of Tom Bulleit’s papers including his law school papers. It is not uncommon for men of Tom Bulleit’s age and during a time of no computers or oversight for white married men to get an immense amount of help from their wives and take credit for it. Stephanie did the taxes for the family. Tom did not seem capable of this task without her. He could not even explain to me how to file my own taxes. I find Tom’s law competency questionable, and this is a foundation that he uses to seem like a smart businessman and whiskey founder.
18. After graduating, I wanted to go into the distilling business, but my father told me that I would go in the military and ultimately become a lawyer.
I never heard this story. Tom told me that he enlisted in the services to honor his father’s service and he insinuated that his father did not know he was enlisting prior. I do not think that Tom had the grades to get into graduate school and this was a possible way out. He told my mother that he wanted to get married prior to being deployed so that he would get a better stipend. My mother lived with his parents and paid his parents rent and also sent her earnings to Tom.
19. I joined the Navy Reserve, and I went through boot camp and Medical Corps School at Great Lakes Naval Installation. After completion of Medical Corps School I was assigned to Field Medical School at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
My father told me that he signed up to be a nurse because he thought it would be the easiest task to perform, and he ended up by chance as a part of the Marines. It was never a goal.
20. I then served at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital as a Hospital Corpsman Second class on the cardiology ward.
21. I married Stephanie Patrick in 1968. We divorced in 1986. Stephanie died of breast cancer in 2008.
My mother died on March 3, 2009, the same day that Tom’s mother-in-law died. Tom and Betsy had a medical professional call me up and tell me that Stephanie was lying about dying after I had spoken with her doctors and hospice. Tom and Betsy are horrible people and parents. I witnessed the aftermath of Tom beatings of my mother (Stephanie Bulleit) during their marriage.
Tom owes a debt to Stephanie Bulleit and me for his success in his career. Stephanie helped get him through school intellectually and financially. She helped him start his own law firm. Tom used the money from my mother’s IUD class action settlement suit to start his firm in Lexington Kentucky (I was told this by both of my parents, Tom and Stephanie). Tom Bulleit acted as if he was a self made man. He was not. Soon after my parents divorced, Tom’s career in law ended.
22. I then served a tour of duty from 1968 to 1969 in Vietnam in the United States Marine Corp with the 1stMarine Division in I Corps north of Da Nang as a medical corpsman. My rank was HM3. My service in Vietnam is what I am most proud of.
As I said prior: My mother helped support Tom Bulleit through Vietnam. In my opinion, if Tom Bulleit is most proud of his service, then he should also mention who helped him and stayed with him throughout: Stephanie Bulleit. Not Betsy Bulleit. Tom has prostituted his service for our country to bolster himself as a quality person and garner more liquor sales that he benefits financially from. I know of no charity that he has given to or is involved in for veterans. He has no friends from that time. He has given free bottles to a local luncheon every once in awhile. Around 2010, my father expressed to me that he never wanted his son to enlist in the military. He did not consider himself from a military family, yet he has misled people about this in the past when he has spoken about his father.
23. While I was in Vietnam, I took the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
We have consulted with some experts on this subject of law test taking in combat zones and this could be a fabrication. We have not been able to find anyone who could corroborate that this type of situation has ever occurred. Especially with Tom Bulleit’s additive: “I was taking the test and I could hear gunshots and fighting in the background.”
24. After my service in Vietnam, I attended the University of Louisville, Louis D. Brandeis School of Law on the G.I. Bill from 1969 to 1971, where I graduated near the top of my class and was a Law Review Associate Editor.
I am confident that all of the articles written for the law review where conceived of and written by my mother.
25. I was admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1972. My first job was with the Honors Program of the Office of Chief Counsel, Internal Revenue Service. With the IRS as its client and more than 1000 attorneys on staff, the Office of Chief Counsel is the preeminent employer of tax attorneys in the country. I worked in the National Office in Washington, D.C.
There is difference between being an agent for the IRS and an attorney for the IRS. It is a reasonable assumption that Tom Bulleit was not an attorney for the IRS.
26. Anne Hollister Bulleit, nicknamed Hollis, was born February 11, 1974 while Stephanie and I were living in Reston, Virginia.
27. At night and on weekends, while Hollis was an infant, I attended the Georgetown University Law Center on the G.I. Bill and graduated in 1976 with a Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) degree.
28. I left the Office of Chief Counsel in 1977 and moved to Lexington, Kentucky, forming the law firm of Arnold, Bulleit & Kinkead.
29. By the early 1980s, the firm had become Bulleit, Kinkead, Irving & Reinhardt.
30. In 1995, I joined the law firm of Bowles, Rice, McDavid, Graff & Love LLP, in Lexington, Kentucky in an “Of Counsel” position and retired from that practice in 2002.
After the divorce, my father was having a hard time transitioning in law without the help of Stephanie Bulleit. He had made some money working against miners in the coal industry in the 1980’s and that money had run out along with having to give my mother a lump sum alimony divorce settlement. At this time, both Tom and Betsy began to brainstorm about what Tom could do other than law and the two choices were bourbon or politics. Because of Tom’s sordid reputation of domestic abuse and alcoholism politics was out.
31. During my law career, I became actively involved with the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Fund in Washington, D.C. Since the memorial’s dedication in 1982, I have twice delivered speeches there, on Memorial Day in 1995 and in 1998.
32. I married Elizabeth Callaway Brooks on March 14, 1987. Betsy is a descendant of Colonel Richard Callaway and her ancestors include Daniel Boone. She graduated from Transylvania University in 1976 and currently serves on its board of trustees. She is a Senior Vice President at Hilliard Lyons Co., the largest financial institution in Kentucky.
My stepmother’s history is debatable; Richard Callaway was a friend of Daniel Boone and Betsy was named after Daniel Boone’s niece. The only reason to say this is because Tom uses this quite often to establish the Bulleit brand as one that is “old Kentucky history and old money”: which it is not.
33. I formed the Bulleit Distilling Company in 1987. I founded it with Shelby Kinkead, who was one of my partners at the time. Betsy and I secured a $1 million loan from the Commerce National Bank using my home equity and business as collateral.
34. I bought out Shelby Kinkead’s share in Bulleit Distilling Co. in 1989.
35. In 1987, I entered into a contract to distill bourbon with Leestown Distilling Co., which was owned by Ferdie Falk and Bob Baranaskas. I produced Bulleit at 90 proof and Bulleit Thoroughbred at 100 proof. Shortly thereafter Leestown Distilling Co. was acquired by Sazerac Co. of New Orleans, Louisiana, and I renewed my contract to distill, and entered into a domestic distribution contract after negotiations with Peter Bordeaux, the President of Sazerac. During this period we had a distribution in France through Tattinger.
Note that the mash bill is not mentioned, or anything about a high rye, or a quality product, or a passion for anything other than getting rich.
36. In concert with Meridian Communications of Lexington, Kentucky, I designed the Bulleit Bourbon bottle, shown in Exhibit A. I imported the bottles from England, sourced the cork closures in the U.S., and had the adhesive back labels printed here in Kentucky.
The first bottle was an open mold; Tom did not design it. A woman, Meredith, designed the label at Meridian Communications. I worked at Meridian communications; I have social security payment stubs to prove the money I earned while working there. Fran Taylor was never part of the meetings that I knew of, and she was guided into saying that she did not remember me working there. I helped choose between the mock-ups of the labels and gave input of changes in the labels. Tom has left out my participation here, along with several other key players. This contradicts The Bourbon Review.
37. Our son, Thomas E. Bulleit III (Tucker), was born on June 10, 1992.
Tucker is adopted from Los Angeles. Tom has left this out here, and has continually misdirected the public that Tucker is his biological child and that I am adopted. I have the necessary birth certificates to prove my legitimacy.
38. I received the trademark registrations, shown in Exhibit B, on my label designs, shown in Exhibit A, in 1995.
The label was changed when Seagrams bought the brand from Tom. I believe that Diageo owns those trademarks now.
39. During the early years of the Bulleit Distilling Co, I continued to work as a lawyer, maintaining law offices in Lexington and distilling offices at Leestown in Frankfort, Kentucky. Hollis, after graduating from Smith College in 1996, returned home and worked for me at the distillery.
So unlike the Bourbon Review articles, even Tom knows I did something for the brand. I would say I worked “with Tom” not “for Tom.” He had ridiculous ideas, like pasting pieces of paper together instead of having them printed double sided. He insisted on buying lots of different types of glue to achieve a double sized flyer.
I was the first and only employee of the Bulleit Distilling Company. I have no work contract on this, which ultimately benefited Tom Bulleit. He paid me by check every two weeks. After I saved enough money, I lived in an attic apartment. Before Tucker Bulleit graduated from college he was given a million + dollar furnished home. At this point I was still living apartment-to-apartment selling on behalf of the brand. While people may want to grapple over me being an effective teenager consult, you cannot disparage that I was the first and only employee, consistent collaborator, and I obtained a BA degree from an established institution with applications for strategic marketing that inevitably helped sell the brand. No other member of the Bulleit family has a degree that would help them to sell or market this brand.
40. At Smith College, Hollis majored in Studio Art and minored in Women’s Studies. She was twice an All American swimmer and House President of her residence.
I do not know why Diageo needed to know this. Yet in an interview with Fred Minnick around 2017-2018, Tom Bulleit says that since I went to Smith College and I am smart that means that he is also smart. He has often acted as if my achievements are his own.
41. In 1996, I hired Charlie Mihalik, a securities lawyer, to draft a private offering memorandum to raise funds for advertising and marketing.
42. Joseph E. Seagrams & Sons purchased the Bulleit Distilling Co. pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 30, 1997, for $1.8 million and an overriding per case/or equivalent royalty.
At this time, only Tom Bulleit and myself were working at the Bulleit offices daily. I do not remember seeing my stepmother Betsy Bulleit enter the Bulleit offices once during my years of working there. I should have received my portion of the royalty from this point on.
43. The distilling families are drawn from a small pool. My first cousin, Dick Heaton, married Alice Jane Willett of the Willett Distilling family. My sister-in-law, Rosalie McKay Ballard’s, grandfather founded Early Times.
Dick and Alice are from his adopted family; Rosalie is married to his biological brother, which he did not meet until his late 50’s. Everyone in Kentucky is related to someone in bourbon, that does not qualify you as an expert or as a whiskey family.
44. My birth mother, Mrs. Ballard, raised her family “in the shadow of” the McKenna Distillery in Fairfield, Kentucky, where many of our family members worked, and where her brother, my uncle, Sam Simpson, became a Master Distiller.
To the best of my knowledge, not once has Tom Bulleit attended a family holiday with the Ballards in their hometown.
45. My cousin, Mary Simpson Hite, told me that her father, Sam Simpson, learned his trade from Coleman Bixler, his father-in-law, a fifth generation distiller.
Yet, that still doesn’t make Tom Bulleit a fifth generation master distiller. Although, Fred Minnick (press) pulled me aside at the Spirited Awards at Tales of the Cocktail and implored me to tell Tom Bulleit to stop telling people that he was a Master Distiller and that he liked to go “fiddle with the knobs on the machinery” at the distillery. I told Fred, he should tell Tom that. But Fred, just wants wax on romantically about simpler times with bourbon wasn’t about pedophilia and queers but about mash bills, wood, and super white men.
46. In conjunction with our new partnership with Seagrams, I became a consultant and brand ambassador pursuant to a Consultant Agreement dated September 30, 1997. I have continued in that role with Diageo, travelling between 120-140 days per year, typically taking over 100 flights annually to various Domestic and International Markets.
(note as 47) The Bourbon Review has said that I had a “part time” job making me unqualified for the title of co-founder, yet here in Tom Bulleit’s own words he also is just A PART TIME WORKER. His flights are exaggerated, as there are few flights direct from Lexington Kentucky forcing Tom to take many flights in one day. For multiple years (or chunks of time between 1997-2002) Tom did not work due to legal acquisitions with the brand.
48. After the Seagrams acquisition, Hollis returned to school, spending a year in France at the Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence, France and received a Post Baccalaureate in Painting. She then attended Brandeis University where she received a Certificate in Painting and New York University where she received a Masters in Painting.
This is mentioned in the Affidavit because my art talents and training lent itself to gross brand sales. I am very lucky to have been given the chance to study and travel; however I did not travel and live the way that the Bulleit family led people to believe I did in the Bourbon Review October 2019 article. To date, Tucker Bulleit (Thomas Ewing Bulleit III) owns a million dollar plus house, in addition massive renovations, a five million dollar plus farm, a RV trailer, several vehicles including motorcycles, vintage cars, sports cars, vans, and trucks. We live in a two bedroom apartment and we share a nine year old car. Tom promised sibling parity in 2016, this is just another broken promise. Tucker has never officially worked for Diageo, yet he (as a cis-heterosexual white male) is rewarded by Tom with royalties from the brand/ Diageo.
While in France, Tom and I had several discussions on how the bourbon was proceeding.
49. After Seagram acquired Bulleit Distilling Co., we began a project to redesign our package and re-concept the product.
“We” includes, Hollis here.
50. Arthur Shapiro (SVP), Sam Elias (VP) and Neil Gallo, of Seagram, Bob Mackell, Jack Mariucci and I, of Bulleit, and Steve Sandstrom of Sandstrom Design embarked upon a project to redesign our glass.
Tom takes less credit for this in the Diageo paid article in the Bourbon Review October 2019. This is the first time Tom mentioned Lexington KY resident, Fran Taylor, as helping with the brand
51. Art Peterson, Jim Rutlege, John Rhea, and Neil Gallo aided me in implementing our family recipe for Bulleit Bourbon, by selecting a yeast, a mash bill, and mingling codes.
To the best of my knowledge there is no family recipe. They would be tweaking the former Seagrams/ Four Roses Master Distiller’s recipe. Which is probably why Jim Rutledge and Chuck Cowdery have been so pissed at Tom Bulleit for all of these years for not giving credit where credit is due.
52. Sam Bronfman, Sr., master of whiskey blending, influenced the Bulleit Bourbon recipe by imposing his unique “mingling” philosophy on the bourbon-making process used at Seagram’s Four Roses Distillery, where Bulleit Bourbon is produced, by introducing the concept of “mingling” distillates to achieve taste and consistency.
53. The Four Roses Distillery makes ten individual distillates from two mash bills and five proprietary strains of yeast.
54. Today, the recipe for Bulleit Bourbon is 68% corn, 28% rye and 4% barley malt, which carries forward Augustus Bulleit’s recipe of 2/3 corn and 1/3 rye. It is 90 proof and it is aged for six to eight years in new White American Oak with a #4 char.
Diageo told me in 2015 that those grain percentages were not to be quoted anymore as they might not be accurate, nor was I supposed to speak of the liquid (I have documentation on this). Making it pretty damn hard to do my job effectively and truthfully.
55. Bulleit Bourbon’s distillation process is such that only ethyl alcohols, which are flavorful and lighter in texture, remain, and phenol alcohols, which have a distinct bitter, more medicinal taste, are removed.
56. Limestone-filtered water used in the distillation process comes from the Salt River, which is a tributary of the Kentucky River.
57. Steve Sandstrom submitted designs pursuant to selected parameters taking into consideration the ability to see the liquid, our concern that the bottle be unique, and our desire to have the package reflect the heritage of the brand. He designed four prototypes, shown in Exhibit C and Exhibit D, which were scrutinized by five focus groups in major cities in the United States.
58. We ultimately chose the bottle design shown in Exhibit E, which won a Communication Arts Design Award in 1999, a double Gold Medal in 2006 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal in 2009 from the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago for package design. We received a trademark registration for this design in 2006.
59. Diageo plc. acquired the Bulleit Bourbon brand from Seagram in 2001 when it, with Pernod Richard, acquired the spirits and wine division of Seagram.
60. In May 2011, I entered into an Amended and Restated Consultant Agreement with Diageo North America, Inc., effective as of July 1, 2010, which restated in its entirety the original Consultant Agreement dated September 30, 1997, as it had been subsequently amended.
This is proof of Diageo’s way of working and back dating contracts. It is also possible proof of a larger royalty percentage. And further evidence that Tom was only consulting part time. I do not know how that qualifies him as a “founder”. His job description qualifies Tom Bulleit, as Chuck Cowdery loves to say, as a glorified brand ambassador.
61. The Four Roses Distilling Company in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, owned originally by Seagram, now by Kirin Brewing Company, currently distills Bulleit Bourbon. Bulleit Bourbon is aged for at least six years at the Four Roses’ Cox Creek facility.
62. Bulleit Bourbon won Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medals in 2002, 2007, 2008, and 2011, San Francisco Spirits Competition Gold Medals in 2004, 2007, and 2011, San Francisco Spirits Competition Silver Medals in 2005, 2006 and 2008, and a “Superb” rating from F. Paul Pacult’s Spirits Journal. These awards are shown in Exhibit F.
63. Bulleit Bourbon is now sold in all 50 states as well as Canada, Mexico, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and Turkey. We market a full line of glass in the United States, and RTDs, or ready mixes, in Australia and Great Britain in various sizes and ABVs. See Exhibit G for a list of all trademark applications and registrations for Bulleit Bourbon and Exhibit H for copies of all U.S. trademark registrations for Bulleit Bourbon.
64. Since 2006, our daughter, Hollis, has served as Bulleit Bourbon World Ambassador for Diageo.
Again, Tom has admitted here that I worked well over ten years for him and Diageo. The Bulleit family and Diageo argue that my worth, input, and earnings are less than 2% of Tom Bulleit's earnings. By Tom’s own admission, I was part of this process throughout. Diageo chose to willingly ignore me and my history by burying it since 2011 when this affidavit was submitted. It could appear as if they were trying to erase the out and proud lesbian.
65. I was diagnosed with colon cancer on April 27, 2005. I went through various operations and chemotherapy until February 2006. The cancer is now in remission.
66. Mrs. Ballard died of natural causes on January 1, 2006.
67. In 2006, I was appointed as a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels. The Governor of Kentucky appoints Colonels.
When I asked Tom to nominate me to be a KY Colonel (several times) he declined. When I explained that this would help my career, he said he didn’t care.
68. In 2009, I was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame.
The same year Tom was inducted so was Chuck Cowdery; oddly after they got into a fight over how legitimate Tom Bulleit’s history was in the press prior in that year.
69. My brother, Larry Ballard, died on July 25, 2010.
70. In March 2011, culminating a project we began in 2004, we launched Bulleit Rye.
I believe that the rye was not spoken about seriously until around 2010, when Diageo found they could source a large quantity of it. Steve Beal began talking about the rye against company policy and I got blamed for leaking confidential information. I never spoke with anyone other than Tom and the team about the rye. Steve is not someone to put your trust in.
71. Bulleit Rye is a current family recipe of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is 90 proof and aged five to seven years in new White American Oak with a #4 char.
We never had a rye family recipe. Tom never tried any of the rye distillates as he stopped drinking in 1992 because of his alcoholism (Tom Bulleit’s admission).
72. Bulleit Rye is distilled, aged, and bottled at Lawrenceburg Distilleries of Indiana (LVI) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
73. Hollis is one of the primary designers of the Bulleit Rye package, designing and selecting the label color.
Here Tom Bulleit gives me exclusive credit for the Bulleit Rye. Why was this not mentioned in the Bourbon Review October 2019 article? Anything printed or in its online presence about Bulleit in the Bourbon Review can be seen as "paid for press," as Bulleit has an advertising package with them. The owners of The Bourbon Review are long time friends of Tom and Betsy and the journalist is married to one of the owners.
74. Bulleit Rye won double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for liquid and packaging in 2011. See Exhibit I.
75. Bulleit Rye is sold in many states. See Exhibit J for a list of all trademark applications and registrations for Bulleit Rye and Exhibit K for copies of all U.S. trademark registrations for Bulleit Rye.
76. The Bulleit brand achieved the 100,000 case domestic sales benchmark in 2011.
77. Now Betsy and I live in Lexington, Kentucky. Hollis is in Los Angeles, California. And Tucker starts college at Hampden-Sydney this fall.
And there is no mention of Cher whom I had been with since 2007 and had an NYC domestic partnership with (this was prior to gay marriage being legal). I was out at work since 2008 this affidavit was issued in 2011. There is no excuse for this exclusion of important “family business” information. To me this is clearly homophobic.

Adlai Ewing Stevenson was a well-liked and respected politician renowned for his political moderation and instinctive desire for compromise. These skills led him to the top of national politics, where he eventually served as the 23rd vice president of the United States.
Stevenson was born in Christian Country, Kentucky, on October 23, 1835, to Eliza Ann Ewing Stevenson and John Turner Stevenson, a tobacco farmer. In 1852, a major frost killed the family's tobacco crop, which prompted the family to move to Bloomington, Illinois. In Bloomington, a young Adlai worked in his father's sawmill and taught school in order to earn money to attend college. He eventually enrolled in the Presbyterian-run Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, where he met his future wife, Letitia Green. He later attended Illinois Wesleyan University. Upon the death of his father in 1857, Stevenson returned to Bloomington where he studied law and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1858. During the Civil War, he served as the master in chancery of Woodford County's circuit court and organized the 108th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Following the war, he served a four-year term from 1865 to 1869 as prosecuting attorney for the 23rd judicial district. He then opened a successful law practice with his cousin, James Ewing. In 1866, Stevenson married Letitia Green after a lengthy courtship.
Although Stevenson had dabbled in politics - he campaigned for Stephen Douglas in his 1858 Senate race against Abraham Lincoln and served as a presidential elector during the 1864 election - his political career did not begin in earnest until 1874, when he defeated a Republican incumbent to become one of Illinois's few Democratic representatives to the House of Representatives. Stevenson served one term, but was defeated in 1876 by a Republican challenger who capitalized on the failing economy and the state's traditional status as a Republican stronghold. However, Stevenson ran again for the House seat in 1878 and won, serving until 1881.
In 1885, newly-elected President Grover Cleveland appointed Stevenson to be the first assistant postmaster general. The appointment was considered an honor, and Stevenson relished the opportunity to control a large portion of the spoils system. During his four-year tenure as assistant postmaster general, Stevenson replaced more than 40,000 Republican postal employees with Democrats, earning himself the nickname, "Headsman." After his term was completed, he returned to his law practice in Bloomington, Illinois. In 1892, the Democratic Party again nominated Grover Cleveland for President, and in a surprise to many observers (himself included), Adlai E. Stevenson was nominated as vice president.
As the vice presidential nominee, Stevenson provided needed balance to the ticket. His home state of Illinois was considered important to Cleveland's election hopes, and Stevenson's popularity there was seen as an asset. Additionally, Stevenson's views on currency reform contrasted favorably with those of Cleveland, who endorsed the gold standard, and helped broaden the appeal of the ticket. Moreover, Stevenson was an energetic and popular campaigner; his work as assistant postmaster general had earned him many allies in the Democratic Party. Cleveland won the election that fall, and Stevenson was sworn in as vice president on March 3, 1893. Vice President Stevenson was both a fixture on the Washington social scene and an enthusiastic public servant. He regularly opened his offices to reporters and found a fair amount of pleasure in presiding over the Senate. In a notable occasion, he unknowingly almost became President of the United States when President Cleveland underwent surgery to remove a malignant growth from the roof of this mouth. Cleveland was eager not to cause panic on Wall Street with the prospect of a "soft money" proponent ascending to the presidency and had the operation performed in secret on a yacht in New York. Even members of the cabinet, including Stevenson, were largely unaware of the severity of Cleveland's health problem. The operation was a success, and the details of it were not made public until 1917. As vice president, Stevenson traveled the country often. In the wake of the 1894 midterm elections in which the Democrats suffered heavy losses, he used this traveling as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the Eastern and Western factions of the Democratic Party. Although he was briefly considered as a possible presidential candidate in 1896, he received limited support and eventually endorsed Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan, despite the reluctance of many Cleveland Democrats to do so. After leaving office, Stevenson had a brief respite from politics but reappeared as Bryan's running mate in the 1900 presidential election. Despite campaigning vigorously, the pair lost to the Republican ticket of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
After the defeat in 1900, Stevenson returned to private practice in Bloomington, Illinois, where he worked quietly until 1908, when he made an unsuccessful run for governor of Illinois. Following his loss, he finally retired from politics, living the quiet life of an elder statesman until his death on June 14, 1914. His grandson, Adlai E. Stevenson II, served as governor of Illinois and was nominated as the Democratic candidate for President in 1952 and 1956, losing both times to Dwight Eisenhower. His great-grandson, Adlai E. Stevenson III, served as a senator for Illinois, twice ran for governor, and was himself considered a contender for the vice presidential nomination in 1976.

Jurist and statesman, b. in West Liberty, Virginia (now West Virginia), U.S.A. 28 December, 1789; d. at Lancaster, Ohio, 26 October, 1871. His father, George Ewing of New Jersey, who had served as an officer in the Continental Army after the Revolution, settled in the Northwest Territory, in the Muskingum Valley, and then, in 1798, in what is now Ames Township, Athens County, Ohio. Here, amid the privations of pioneer life, Ewing was taught to read by his elder sister, Sarah, and by extraordinary efforts acquired a fair elementary education. At the age of nineteen he left home and worked in the Kanawha salt establishments, pursuing his studies at night by the light of the furnace fires. He remained there until he had earned sufficient to enable him to enter the Ohio University at Athens, where, in 1815, he received the degree of A.B., the first degree conferred by any college in the western country. Ewing then studied law at Lancaster, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1816. He entered into a partnership with his preceptor, in the firm of Beecher & Ewing, and then, after Mr. Beecher's death, with his own son Philemon, in the firm of Ewing & Son. He achieved high prominence as a lawyer and won notable success at the state and national bar.
In March, 1831, Ewing entered public life as a member from Ohio of the United States Senate, and became prominent therein, with Webster and Clay, in resistance of the acts of President Jackson and in support of Whig measures. He upheld the protective tariff system of Clay, and presented one of the first of the memorials for the abolition of slavery.
In March, 1837, on the expiration of his term, he resumed the practice of the law. Upon the election of President Harrison, he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in March, 1841. He prepared the second bill for the re-charter of the Bank of the United States, and, on its veto by Tyler, he resigned from the cabinet, in September, 1841. In March, 1849, he was appointed by President Taylor secretary of the then recently created Department of the Interior. He organized the department, and in his report to congress urged the construction of a railroad to the Pacific. On the death of Taylor in 1850, Ewing resigned from the cabinet and was appointed senator from Ohio to fill an unexpired term. On the expiration of his term in March, 1851, he returned to the practice of the law. In 1860 Ewing was appointed by the Governor of Ohio a member of the famous Peace Conference, and he was prominent in the efforts to avert the secession of the Southern States. During the war he unreservedly supported the government, and his judgment on matters of state was frequently sought by Mr. Lincoln. When the capture of Mason and Slidell brought England and the United States to the verge of hostilities, Ewing sent Mr. Lincoln the famous telegram that was decisive of the whole trouble: "There can be no contraband of war between neutral points." It was his advice that finally prevailed and secured the freeing of the envoys and the averting of hostilities. Conservative in his opinions, Ewing opposed the radical measures of Reconstruction at the close of the war and supported the administration of President Johnson. In February, 1868, after the removal of Stanton, the President sent to the Senate the nomination of Ewing as Secretary of War, but it was not confirmed.
Descended of Scottish Presbyterian stock, Ewing, after a lifelong attraction to the Catholic Church, entered it in his latter years. Reared outside the fold of any religious body, he married, 7 January, 1820, Maria Wills Boyle, daughter of Hugh Boyle, an Irish Catholic. He was deeply influenced by the living faith and pious example of his wife during their long married life, and all his children were reared in the Faith. In October, 1869, Ewing was stricken while arguing a cause before the Supreme Court of the United States and he was baptized in the court room. In September, 1871, his lifelong friend, Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati, received him into the Church.
PHILEMON BEECHER, eldest son of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 3 November, 1820; d. there 15 April, 1896. He graduated in 1838 from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and then entered upon the study of the law. Admitted to the Bar in 1841, he formed with his father the firm of T. Ewing & Son. In both State and Federal courts, through his grasp of the philosophy of the law and his judicial temperament, he won a place beside his illustrious father. He. was also the main support of his father in his political life and labours, and was an active figure first in the Whig and then in the Republican party. In 1862 he was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Being opposed to the Reconstruction measures of his party he took part in the Liberal Republican movement. He was nominated to the supreme bench of Ohio in 1873. During the sixties and seventies he engaged in the banking business, and was prominent in the development of the Hocking Valley coal-fields. The later years of his life were spent in retirement.
He married at Lancaster 31 August, 1848, Mary Rebecca Gillespie, a sister of Eliza Maria Gillespie (Mother Mary of St. Angela of the Sisters of the Holy Cross of Notre Dame, Indiana). He was a man of wide culture and a writer of vigorous and limpid English. He was ever foremost where the interests of the Church were concerned, and was a delegate from the Diocese of Columbus to the Catholic Congresses of 1889 and 1893.
HUGH BOYLE, third son of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 31 October, 1826; d. there 30 June, 1905. He was educated at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and in 1849 went to California, returning to Lancaster, in 1852, to enter on the study of the law. On his admission to the Bar, he practised in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1854 to 1856, and then, in partnership with his brother Thomas, at Leavenworth, Kansas, from 1856 to 1858. In April, 1861, he was appointed brigade-inspector of Ohio Volunteers with the rank of major, and in August, 1861, was commissioned colonel, commanding the Thirtieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and rendered conspicuous service. In November, 1862, he was commissioned brigadier-general. He took part in the operations against Vicksburg, and his command led in the assault of 22 May, 1863. In July following he was appointed to the command of the Fourth Division, Fifteenth Army Corps. In the operations about Chattanooga he led his division in the assault upon Missionary Ridge and its capture. In the latter part of the war he was placed in command of the district of Kentucky, and at its close was brevetted major-general. In 1866 President Johnson appointed him Minister to The Hague, which post he filled until 1870. On his return to the United States, he bought a small estate near Lancaster, in 1876, on which he lived until his death. He was married at Washington, D. C., 3 August, 1858, to Henrietta Elizabeth Young. He was a man of wide culture, and an interesting writer. He published several stories, among them "The Grand Ladron, a tale of Early California", "Koche, a King of Pit", "A Castle in the Air", and "The Black List".
CHARLES, fifth child of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 6 March, 1835; d. at Washington, 20 June, 1883. Commencing his studies at the college of the Dominican Fathers in Perry County, Ohio, he later attended Gonzaga College, Washington, and the University of Virginia. In 1860 he began the practice of law in St. Louis, Missouri. The Civil War breaking out soon afterwards, he was commissioned a captain in the Thirteenth Infantry of the United States Regulars in May, 1861, and in the Spring of 1862, joined his brother-in-law, General William T. Sherman, in the Arkansas and Mississippi campaigns. In the siege of Vicksburg he was thrice wounded. On the 22nd of June, 1862, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel and assistant inspector-general of volunteers, and on the 15th of June, 1863, inspector-general of the Fifteenth Army Corps. He served with much distinction in the Atlanta campaign and the famous march through Georgia. On the 8th of March, 1865, he was commissioned brigadier-general, and on the mustering out of the volunteers was transferred to the regular force, from which he resigned as brevet-colonel on the 31st of July, 1867. He was brevetted three times in the regular service for gallant and meritorious services at the Vicksburg and Atlanta campaigns. After his retirement from the Army, he took up his residence in Washington and began the practice of law, in which profession he obtained considerable prominence. In 1873 he accepted the appointment of Indian Commissioner, and laboured energetically to restore to the Catholic Indian Missions the schools among the Indians which they had maintained for twenty years. Pope Pius IX, 3 May, 1877, created him a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great. General Ewing married Virginia, daughter of John K. Miller of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
ELEANOR BOYLE (MRS. WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN), daughter of Thomas, b. at Lancaster, 4 October, 1824; d. in New York City, 28 November, 1888. She was educated at the Visitation Convent at Georgetown, D. C. In 1829, just after his father's death, William Tecumseh Sherman, the subsequent famous General of the United States army, then a boy of nine years, was adopted by Mr. Ewing, reared in his household, and appointed by him to the U. S. Military Academy. Sherman married the daughter of his benefactor, 1 May, 1850. She was devoted throughout her life, after the duties of her household, to the relief of suffering and of want, and to the advancement of the Church. Mentally, she inherited the brilliant intellectual powers of her father and was a true helpmate of her husband in his distinguished career. She was the author of "Thomas Ewing, a Memorial", published in 1872. Father P.J. De Smet, S.J., the missionary among the Indians, was an old and intimate friend of the Shermans, and through this intimacy Mrs. Sherman was led to take a special interest in the cause of the Catholic Indians. Her influence and great personal exertions were of much assistance at Washington, to her brother, General Charles Ewing, in the work of saving and promoting the missions for the Catholic Indians.

Early Life
Thomas Ewing, Jr. was born in Lancaster, Ohio on August 7, 1829. He was the fifth child and fourth son of Thomas Ewing, Sr. and Maria (Boyle) Ewing. Ewing’s father, Thomas Ewing, Sr., was a prominent lawyer, and a United States senator who also served as United States Secretary of the Treasury and United States Secretary of the Interior. Two of Ewing’s brothers, Hugh Boyle Ewing and Charles Ewing, and his foster brother, William Tecumseh Sherman, eventually became general officers in the Union army during the American Civil War.
As a youth, Ewing pursued preparatory studies at the Lancaster Academy, in Lancaster, Ohio. In 1838, at age nineteen, he served as secretary of a commission to determine if the boundary line between Ohio and Virginia was the high-water or low-water mark of the Ohio River.
During his father’s tenure as President Zachary Taylor‘s Secretary of the Interior, Ewing served as one of Taylor’s private secretaries from 1849 until the president’s death in 1850. In 1850, Ewing enrolled at Brown University, but he left this institution in 1855 before earning a degree. He next studied at the Cincinnati Law School, again failing to graduate, but he joined the Ohio bar in 1855.
Marriage
On January 18, 1856, Ewing married Ellen Cox of Piqua, Ohio. The couple produced five children during their marriage.
Kansas Lawyer
In 1856, Ewing moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he joined the law firm of Ewing, Denman & Co. When Ewing’s brother, Hugh, and his foster brother, William T. Sherman, who was by then also his brother-in-law, followed him to Kansas, the trio formed the law firm of Sherman & Ewing. In 1859, Daniel McCook joined the partners changed the firm’s name to Sherman, Ewing & McCook. While living in Kansas, Ewing invested heavily in real estate and was a major shareholder and promoter of the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Company.
Bleeding Kansas
While in Kansas, Ewing became embroiled in the Kansas statehood controversy. In 1858, he was a member of the Leavenworth Constitutional Convention, which favored the admission of Kansas to the Union as a free state. As an opponent of the pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution, Ewing took part in a legislative investigation to uncover fraudulent voting practices in Kansas. After the federal government admitted Kansas to the Union on January 29, 1861, voters elected Ewing as the first chief justice of the state supreme court. Governor Charles Robinson also selected Ewing as a Kansas delegate to the Washington Peace Conference, an unsuccessful attempt in early 1861 to avert the American Civil War.
Civil War
Union Officer
After the Civil War began, Ewing resigned from the court in 1862 to enter the military. In June, he helped to organize the “Red Legs,” a unit of scouts that protected the Kansas border from marauders headquartered in Missouri. Later that year, Ewing recruited the 11th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, and he became the unit’s first colonel on September 15, 1862. During the 1862 campaign season, Ewing’s regiment fought in the battles of Old Fort Wayne (October 22, 1862), Cane Hill (November 28, 1862), and Prairie Grove (December 7, 1862).
District of the Border Commander
On March 13, 1863, Ewing attained the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. He assumed command of the District of the Border, which comprised Kansas and western Missouri.
On August 18, 1863, Ewing issued General Orders, Number 10, which made it a crime to “willfully aid and encourage guerrillas” operating against Union troops. The order also stated that,
The wives and the children of known guerrillas, and also women who are heads of families and are willfully engaged in aiding guerrillas, will be notified by such officers to move out of this district and out of the State of Missouri forthwith. They will be permitted to take unmolested, their stock, provisions and household goods. If they fail to remove promptly they will be sent by such officers under escort to Kansas City for shipment South, with their cloths and such necessary household furniture as may be worth removing.
Quantrill’s Raiders
When federal soldiers started rounding up women and children in Missouri and sending them to a makeshift prison in Kansas City, a band of guerrillas, led by William C. Quantrill, retaliated by sacking Lawrence, Kansas on August 21, 1863, killing approximately 180 civilians.
On August 25, Quantrill’s raid prompted Ewing to issue General Order Number 11, which mandated the eviction of suspected Southern sympathizers from four Missouri counties along the Kansas border.
Federal troops forced thousands of Missouri residents from their homes, leaving their property unprotected from Kansas Jayhawkers seeking revenge for the Lawrence Massacre.
The aftermath created a wasteland along the Kansas-Missouri border. Ewing was perhaps the episode’s last casualty when the political fallout from his dictate forced his transfer to the St. Louis District in March 1864.
Battle of Fort Davidson
During the 1864 campaign season, Ewing played a major role in checking Confederate Major General Sterling Price‘s raid through Missouri and Kansas. On the morning of September 27, 1864, Price’s 12,000 mounted infantrymen advanced against Ewing’s small force of just 1,500 Union soldiers at Fort Davidson, near Pilot Knob, Missouri. Despite a massive Confederate assault from several directions, the Federals held their ground. During the night, Ewing received orders to abandon the fort, and his men retreated into the darkness. The Battle of Fort Davidson was costly for the Rebels. Price suffered nearly 1,000 casualties (nearly one-tenth of his force) compared with just 200 casualties for the Yankees.
Post-war Promotions
On February 23, 1865, Ewing resigned his military commission. After the war ended, President Andrew Johnson nominated Ewing for a brevet promotion to the rank of major general. On May 4, 1866, the United States Senate approved the appointment, dated from March 13, 1865.
Post-war Career
Lincoln Assassination Trials
After leaving the army, Ewing practiced law in Washington, DC., for five years. In 1865, he served as legal counsel for Dr. Samuel Mudd, Samuel Arnold, and Edmund Spangler during the conspiracy trial following President Abraham Lincoln‘s assassination. Although all three men were convicted, they were the only defendants in Lincoln’s murder trial to escape the death penalty. Also, while living in Washington, Ewing used his political influence to help gain an acquittal for President Andrew Johnson during the president’s impeachment trial before the United States Senate.
U.S. Congressman
In 1870, Ewing returned to Lancaster, Ohio, to practice law. While living there, he became active in Ohio politics as a member of the Greenback wing of the Democrat Party. Ewing served as a delegate to Ohio’s state constitutional convention in 1873. In 1876, voters from Ohio’s Twelfth Congressional District elected Ewing to the United States House of Representatives. Two years later, voters from Ohio’s Tenth District elected him to a second term. Ewing served in the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses from March 4, 1877 to March 3, 1881.
Return to Civilian Life
In 1879, Republican Charles Foster narrowly defeated Ewing in his bid to become Governor of Ohio. Upon returning to private life, Ewing served as a trustee of Ohio University from 1878 to 1883 and as vice president of the Cincinnati Law School in 1881.
Death
In 1881, Ewing moved to New York City, where he entered a law partnership with Milton I. Southard. When his son, Thomas Ewing III, subsequently joined the firm, the business became known as Ewing, Whitman & Ewing. On January 20, 1896, the elder Ewing suffered a critical head injury when a cable car struck him as he was crossing Third Avenue in New York. He died the next morning at his home at 223 East Seventeenth Street. Funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church at Yonkers. Ewing was buried at the Oakland Cemetery, Yonkers, New York.

To me, Thomas Ewing, and his siblings fit the stereotype of the westward-bound pioneer. Hollywood and Novels have contributed to American Mythology that portrays pioneers as hardy people seeking their fortunes in the plains, high desert, mountains, or pacific coast through the new opportunities afforded by new lands, settlements, industries, and even gold to be found out west. Images come to mind of buckboard wagons, Prairie Schooners, and Conestoga wagons carrying family belongings and perhaps one or two passengers who could not walk. The threat of Indian attack was tempered by the always-available protection of the U.S. Cavalry.
Reality was a bit different. In fact even back in American Colonial times these same style wagons brought German (who invented them) and Scots-Irish settlers south throughout the Appalachian Mountain chain, and into Georgia (for the record, the Cherokee and Creek lands being opened for settlers in Georgia would have been considered "west" to the original inhabitants of the 13 colonies), and then later into all the areas made available through the Louisiana Purchase. East of the Mississippi River, Native American lands were taken away by treaty or by force and opened up for settlement. It was in the nature of the Scots-Irish families to always be looking for land opportunities, and the Germans right behind them. The Scots-Irish were typically not the greatest farmers, would usually pick high-country land that had plenty of water sources (like that found in their home country) for fear of drought, and would typically pass by land in low-lying areas. The Germans would typically pick the low-lying lands that were more fertile but had fewer water sources. The Scots-Irish historically were not great at creating their own fertility by using lime and other resources to fertilize their land, and so often wore out their land and needed to move on. The Germans and other people groups moved in where the Scots-Irish moved out and fertilized the land with lime and using livestock in manageable ways. The Scots-Irish would many times seem like land speculators because of the manner they moved around, but the result was that the Scots-Irish have their fingerprint all over the nation.
However, it would be years before Thomas, his siblings, and his offspring would move west. Cherokee lands would have to open up first after the infamous "Trail of Tears" episode in American History. A great Civil War would have to first be decided resulting in the south having a great number of resources destroyed. Land would have to open up in previously unorganized territories in Texas and Oklahoma, and rumors had to make their way back east of Silver and Gold being found in various places out west, but especially in California.
The first Georgian in our line in a family of westward pioneers: Thomas may not be known for much, but he was the first true Georgian in our line. He was born in 1807 to William Ewing and his wife Hannah (Whaley), only about six or so years after William settled in Jackson County near Marbury Creek, a northern branch of the Apalachee River. He had one older brother named Green Berry, also born in Jackson County Georgia in 1802, perhaps on the original property on Beech Creek. In fact, Thomas (sometimes called "Uncle Tommy") was only one of ten siblings, all of which were born in either Jackson, Newton, or Walton counties, but later in life were scattered westward as far as the Pacific coast.
We know little of Thomas until 1829, when he married a preacher's daughter Elizabeth Pattillo, seventh of eighteen children of Rev. Samuel Pattillo, a Methodist minister in Georgia for over 40 years (Samuel had 9 children by first wife Francis "Fanny" Hall Pattillo, and 9 more by second wife Martha Bailey.
The Antebellum Period: Generally considered to be the time after the War of 1812 but before the civil war, the Antebellum Period brings to mind big southern plantations with lots of slaves, women walking around in colorful pastel hoop skirts and men with names like Beauregard in white Colonel Sanders suits. Truth be told, the south had proportionally little of this, with only a few moderate plantations scattered about in Georgia, and our family had almost none of it, particularly slaves. But this image seems to be sealed in the "Gone With The Wind" mythology of the old south. Thomas did have a single "house servant" which on the 1860 census was listed as a slave. The best we can tell from the reports of Thomas' grandson John Tyler Ewing (my great-great-grandfather), her role seemed to be that of a domestic, cooking and cleaning. He had no field hands unless migrant workers came around.
Thomas and Elizabeth married Sept. 8 1829 in nearby Walton County, perhaps helping his mother Hannah to raise Hannah Ewing, the youngest sister of Thomas (and clearly named after her mother), yet in the 1830 Census he is listed as having no children at that time. In the 1832 Gold Lottery, he drew Lot 468, 21st District, 3rd Section, now 40 acres in between present-day western Paulding County and eastern Polk County (apparently never claiming it), and was then listed in 1832 as a resident of Newton County GA., McCuller's Militia District (9th district), lot 306 (next to his brother Thompson in lot 305). He sold the southeast corner of this land in in 1832 to Cory Wood, keeping the rest for a while. But by 1840 they moved to Gwinnett County GA and appeared in every census after that through 1880. Besides the Newton County property Thomas owned two other farms in his life, one in Harbins Militia District of northeastern Gwinnett County near Ewing's Chapel, and the other in Sugar Hill District near Rest Haven GA (slightly northeast of Buford) The value of his properties in the time before and after the Civil War ranged from $250-400 ($8000-13000 in today's money), so he was not that prosperous.
Siblings and Sons who fought in Civil War: ......
We have much information on his son Samuel Jones Ewing and his service in the 35th Georgia Infantry as detailed on his own page.
We have no information on whether his younger siblings Joseph, Isaac, or Charles served in even a militia capacity. Joseph and Isaac were born in 1812 and 1816 respectively and would have been 48 and 44, quite old for regulars, but possibly called to action in area militias as Sherman's army came through. Charles would have been a more appropriate age, being born in 1824 and 36 at the start of the war. But we have no evidence at this time on either of the three. However, Jones Henderson Ewing (b 1821) actually enlisted as a private in the "Regimental Return" in Feb 10, 1864 at the age of 43, like a militia reserve, but was never called into action and was discharged October 1864. This was during the time that Sherman left Chattanooga and in September 1864 took possession of Atlanta. However, several the sons of these siblings, Thomas's nephews, served in various units of the Confederacy during the war.
"Go West Young Man"
Families of Scots-Irish ancestry have historically been somewhat restless, always looking for the better opportunities, and the notion of finding cheap land and possibly even gold began to pull parts of this family west.
The oldest sibling, Green Berry Ewing was in Cobb County by the 1840s, Paulding County by the 1850s. Courthouse records for both counties burned, and hence we don't have a clear record of him afterwards, but many descendants ended up in Alabama and westward.
Thomas sold his Gwinnett County land in 1881/82 to son Charles Dilmus. Not long after, Thomas' sons Thomas Wesley and Charles Dilmus caught the bug to move west, removing themselves from Gwinnett County Georgia between 1885-1890, initially settling in the area of Falls County Texas, then to the area of Cleveland County Oklahoma. Thomas Wesley was the most ambitious of them all, settling in Drumright Oklahoma during the time of a large oil strike, and living there until between 1900 and 1909, before his first wife Zephie passed away in 1925 in Drumright (so we must assume a divorce between 1900 and 1909), and then moving to Long Beach California where he married Elizabeth Robertson before 1910, and eventually died in 1931 and buried at Rosedale Cemetery in an unmarked grave.
Eventually, Thomas followed his son's west, removing his membership (his "letter") from Alcova Baptist Church in Gwinnett County in 1887. He moved to Lexington OK where he died in 1892. We can only speculate on his reasoning for moving to Oklahoma. He certainly still had family all around Gwinnett and Paulding County. The only historical events that might have been a motivator was the rumor of Indian lands being opened up in western Oklahoma, but at 70 years old one would doubt that he'd want to be a farmer. In fact, not only can I not find any record of him owning land in Oklahoma, I can't find a record of him living or dying there either. However, his wife Elizabeth Pattillo is said to have died Sept 25, 1895 (age 86) at Tribbey, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. The Old Moral cemetery in Tribbey has a number of unmarked graves and damaged/destroyed headstones from that period, one with a "Herman Ewing son of J.E. and V.S Ewing" (possibly Jason Elonzo, son of Charles Dilmus?).

George Washington's Mount Vernon

|
Born in Ireland and described as “bred to trade,” John Fitzgerald immigrated to Virginia by 1773 and established himself in Alexandria as a merchant, gaining in that town the friendship of George Washington.1 Siding with the rebellious faction of northern Virginia, he was appointed an officer in the Fairfax County Independent Company in 1774.2 As tensions furthered with Great Britain, Fitzgerald was commissioned a Captain of the 3rd Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army on February 9, 1776.3 In the summer of 1776, the battalion was ordered to join the main army in New York and arrived in time to counter the enemy at the Battle of Harlem Heights.4 The 3rd Regiment’s Major died from wounds received at the engagement and, as senior Captain, John Fitzgerald was promoted to that rank on October 3, 1776.5 Deeming John Fitzgerald to be “an Officer of unexceptionable merit,” George Washington appointed him an aide-de-camp when an opening on his staff arose a few weeks later.6 For the next two years, Lieutenant Colonel John Fitzgerald capably served in the Commander-in-Chief’s “military family” on the fields of battle at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown, and in non-battlefield conflict like the Conway Cabal incident.7 Wounded at the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778, Fitzgerald thereafter left the army, returning to Alexandria to marry and resume his commercial pursuits.8 However, his military accomplishments were not yet complete. When an enemy naval force arrived before Alexandria with intentions of burning the town in April of 1781, Fitzgerald “…made so good a display for the few men he could collect that the enemy were frightened and did not land, although they were five times the number of his men.”9
With the peace of the Treaty of Paris, a French traveler observed that the people of Alexandria were at work to make their town “the center of a large commerce” and John Fitzgerald was squarely at the center of the growth.10 Among other positions, he served on the city council beginning in February 1784; sat on a local committee to examine the U.S. Constitution in October of 1787; and acted as
collector of customs for the port of Alexandria beginning in the spring of 1793.11 But of all of his undertakings, perhaps the most notable of them was his association in the Potomac Company. The venture was founded with the objective of linking the Potomac river with the fertile and booming Ohio River Valley. On May 17, 1785, John Fitzgerald was elected one of four directors of the Potomac Company and George Washington as its president.12 Fitzgerald continued in his station on the Board until September 6, 1793, when he was elected the company’s president for three years.13 Afterwards, both Washington and Fitzgerald remained involved in the affairs of the Potomac Company, with their last correspondence concerning the business being written in the summer of 1799.14 On Monday, December 2, 1799, John Fitzgerald died, and was interred two days later at the home of his wife’s family in Prince George’s County, Maryland “with military honors”.15

The portion of the Emmet Collection housed in the Manuscripts and Archives Division consists of approximately 10,800 historical manuscripts relating chiefly to the period prior to, during, and following the American Revolution. The collection contains letters and documents by the signers of the Declaration of Independence as well as nearly every prominent historical figure of the period. The manuscripts are arranged in 28 topics, most of them milestones in early American history. Topics include the Albany Congress of 1754, the Stamp Act Congress of 1765, the Continental Congresses, 1774 -1789, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Annapolis Convention, the Federal Convention, and the First Federal Administration. The Revolutionary War is well documented in the correspondence and letterbooks of generals and other officers, as well as in orderly books, muster rolls, and returns. Additional material documents the history of New York City. Highlights of the Emmet Collection include Thomas Jefferson's manuscript copy of the Declaration of Independence, an engrossed copy of the Bill of Rights, and manuscript minutes of the Annapolis Convention.
The Thomas Addis Emmet collection is arranged in twenty-eight series:

The Ewing House on the Hill, Part I
Thomas Ewing purchased Lot 146 in Square 13 in April 1824 and began to build a house. As the story of the house unfolds through the following 190 years, readers will be able to count on just two hands the owners of this house that is still well maintained and occupied.
Readers should recognize the name Thomas Ewing. He was born in 1789 in Virginia, graduated from Ohio University in 1815 and then came to Lancaster to study law. He was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1816, married in 1819 and served as a U.S. senator from 1831-1837. He also served as Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, and the first Secretary of the Interior.
He died in 1871 at 82. Several books have been published about his life and career, including “Civil War Dynasty: The Ewing Family of Ohio” by Kenneth J. Heineman in 2013. What follows is not a biography of the man, but rather a “biography” of the subsequent owners of his house.
A house is built
When Ewing married Maria Boyle in 1819, they lived near what is now the southwest corner of Columbus and Mulberry streets in a house given to them by Maria’s father (Goslin, Crossroads and Fence Corners II, p. 14). Son Philemon Ewing was born in 1820, and a second son George in 1822. George only lived about a year. Maria was convinced their home in the “lower” part of town was unhealthy.
“She was certain that one thing which had caused the baby’s illness and death was the fact that their home was damp, and she persuaded Thomas to build a new house in a dryer spot.” (Three Generations by Burton, p. 32).
Thomas purchased property on the northwest corner of Main and High streets in 1824 (Lot 146 in April for $475 and east half of Lot 145 in November for $100). Their new house would be near the home of Charles Sherman. Construction began but they were still in their first house when daughter Eleanor (Ellen) was born in October 1824.
“The new house had been slow in building, both because Thomas wanted it large enough and of the best materials, and because some times he had to wait until he had amassed more funds. A fourth child was born to the Ewings before the house was entirely ready for occupancy.” (Burton, p. 33). Son Hugh (born Oct. 31, 1826) was a few weeks old when the family was finally able to move into the house on the hill. Burton described the house as “a roomy place of white brick, and its wide hospitable front door delighted Maria every time she entered it.”
When Charles Sherman died in 1829 leaving his widow with 11 children, Thomas Ewing walked down Main hill and offered to take one child to raise in his home. He returned home with 9-year-old son Cump, William Tecumseh Sherman. Though never officially adopted, Cump was raised as one of the Ewing children. Three more children were born to the Ewings: Thomas Jr. in 1829, Charles in 1835, and Maria Theresa in 1837. By 1840 the house was larger: “Wings had been added, and there was a high brick wall protecting the yard from the street (Burton, p. 62).
As years passed…
On Nov. 24, 1863, the wedding of Maria Theresa Ewing (the youngest daughter) took place in Lancaster in the house on the hill. The bride’s mother was very ill, so the ceremony was held in her room. Maria married Lt. Col. Clemens F. Steele. They had met when he came to Lancaster as a recruiter in 1862.
Nine years her senior, Steele had been one of the first to respond to the call for troops in April 1861. After being severely wounded at Fort Wagner, South Caroliuna in July 1863, Steele returned to Lancaster and the couple married.
Mrs. Thomas Ewing Sr. died in her home Feb. 2, 1864 with her family around her. Thomas became ill while appearing before the Supreme Court in October 1869 at 80 years of age.
In June the following year he “sold” the house on the hill to his son Thomas Ewing Jr. for “natural love and affection.” The deed stated that an office building connected to the house was included in the sale but Ewing was “reserving to myself during my natural life the east room on the ground floor in said house, and the alcove adjacent there to with present ingress and egress; reserving also stable room for two horses and room for my carriage in the carriage house.”
“On Thursday last, the 26th of October 1871…Thomas Ewing, Sr., departed this life, in the 82nd year of his age — the state of his health for several months had prepared all for the solemn event…The remains, encased in a superb burial casket, lay in Mr. Ewing’s sitting-room, in the family residence, and were viewed by friends and visitors for the last time, up to the hour of burial. Everything in the room appeared as he left them; his table, with books, papers, and writing materials, his watch and spectacles, all lay as deposited by his hands when the final summons came.” (Gazette Nov. 2, 1871). His casket was carried to St. Mary Church by the pall bearers, among whom were Ohio Gov. Rutherford B. Hayes, former U.S. Attorney General Henry Stanbery, and Sen. John Sherman.
Steele Family years
Thomas Ewing Jr., who was living in New York, sold the house on the hill and property to his brother-in-law C. F. Steele in July 1882 for $12,000. Six children were born to Maria and C.F. Steele before they bought the house on the hill, but two died as infants. Clemens F. Steele died Nov. 2, 1893 in the Hotel Martin at 65.
He had been living in Columbus, as did two of his sons, but had recently returned to Lancaster to be near old friends. His wife was in Cape May, New Jersey, at the time with two of their children.
The Ewing property on the hill originally ran from Main Street north to the alley. In January 1896 Maria Ewing Steele sold a 60-foot strip off the back/north end of the lots that ran 125 feet west along the alley.
The deed included information about the out buildings: “Maria Steele will have removed the ice house and barn and all buildings now on said premises hereby conveyed and fill up the excavations left exposed on or before April 1, 1896…she will have removed from her own premises adjoining, the laundry portion of her present homestead.” Charles and Mary Woodin purchased the property for $2,400 and were to build an “elegant residence” facing High Street (Daily Eagle Jan. 15, 1896). The house they built stands today at 121 N. High St.
Family ownership ends
When Henry Wynkoop published Picturesque Lancaster in 1897, it included a Tobias photo of the house on the hill (p. 44). “Residence of Mrs. Maria T. Ewing Steele. This property is known throughout the country as the ‘old Ewing homestead’…It stands on a natural embankment, ten feet above the grade of Main Street, corner of High. It is two-story with attic, and colonial in style and built of brick, some of which came from Chillicothe and Zanesville. There is no attempt at ornamental architecture. It is a plain, substantial, and most comfortable house, with twenty large rooms, conveniently arranged with a careful detailed attention to comfort. Under this roof many distinguished statesmen have been most royally entertained…” This may have served as a real estate ad.
Maria Steele sold the property to Edwin Embich on March 31, 1898 for $8,000. With this sale we learned the property had been leased for an unknown period of time. The deed stated that Mr. Embich would not get possession until Sept. 1, because that was when the leases expired for Mr. Howard Sutton, who was occupying the west side of the house, and for Mrs. Gill Shaeffer, who was conducting a boarding house on the east side of the house.
With this sale almost 75 years of Ewing family ownership came to an end. Maria E. Steele lived in Columbus for a time and then died May 10, 1910, while in Ottawa, Canada.
Two stories of third Ewing generation
Unique heirloom
When Maria Ewing Steele’s daughter Florence was about to marry, an interesting article appeared in the Daily Eagle, August 12, 1899. Mrs. Steele was going to present to her daughter on her wedding day, the same gift she had received on her wedding day from her mother, Mrs. Thomas Ewing Sr.
The gift was “a small red bound volume that contains within its timeworn covers a collection of autographs that is seldom seen outside of a museum. There appear the signatures of Calhoun, Clay, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison and others illustrious in the early years of the century and whose memory is revered today.”
Florence Steele married Edward M. Beck of Akron on Aug. 23, 1899, at her mother’s home in Columbus. The bride was escorted down the aisle by her brother Thomas Ewing Steele. After a six-week trip through the East, the couple was to reside in Akron.
Tom Steele, Fugitive
Thomas E. Steele had graduated from Notre Dame in 1884, was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1886 and then practiced law in Columbus. He married Marie White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. White, on Dec. 28, 1892, in Lancaster. E.B. White, druggist, purchased in 1887 the house on East Main that became 129 E. Main and the Elks Lodge. The couple were married here by the Rev. Father Thomas E. Sherman, son of Gen. W. T. Sherman and cousin of the groom.
In 1902 Tom Steele was indicted for blackmail by U. S. Mail. While out on bond, he fled to Canada. His offense was not an extraditable one, so he lived there under an assumed name for 10 years. In 1913 he returned to the U.S. and “threw himself on the mercy of the Federal Court of Cincinnati” (Daily Eagle, March 3, 1913).
“He was given thirteen months in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, but a few hours after he was sentenced he was pardoned by President Taft…his cousins Thomas Ewing and John Ewing were largely instrumental in making possible his return to this country.”

Olympics-Athletics-US dominance is perfect launch pad for LA, says Coe
By Lori Ewing
PARIS (Reuters) -The United States have dominated the athletics events at the Paris Olympics with Noah Lyles’ dramatic victory in the men’s 100 metres, Quincy Hall’s come from behind win in the 400 and Cole Hocker’s shock 1,500 gold among the highlights.
The U.S. have a huge lead atop the athletics medal table with a whopping 27, adding eight to their haul on Thursday evening alone. Jamaica and Australia are next with six apiece.
The Americans’ remarkable success in Paris is the perfect launch pad heading into the Los Angeles Olympics in four years’ time, said World Athletics president Sebastian Coe.
“Very important, you want a really well-stocked shop window,” he told reporters on Thursday.
Britain finished fourth in the medal table at the 2008 Beijing Games, which was a big boost ahead of the 2012 London Olympics when Coe was chair of the organising committee.
“(Britain) won a sackful of medals, it sort of took you out of the arguments, and people just went ‘Oh my God bring this on’,” he said.
“And also, can you imagine all these British athletes and sportsmen and women in their own backyards, and I’m hoping that people in America are sensing that in track and field certainly this is the golden generation.
“It’s fantastic because in the past, you talked about Carl (Lewis), you talked about Michael (Johnson), but they were very much magnesium flares in that generation. Now you’re looking at a bandwidth of a performer.”
Coe attributed the U.S. success largely to the American college system, plus coaches, particularly in the middle distance races, pointing out that the men’s 1,500 in Paris had three Americans in the top five.
Paris also featured the debut of the “repechage”, which gives runners a second chance to advance to semi-finals if they do not clinch automatic qualifying berths. Briton Coe said whether or not that was a success in Paris would be a part of their post-mortem.
“These are cursory observations, but the broadcasters have quite liked it, the athletes themselves have liked it because they’ve had another chance obviously of qualifying,” said Coe, a twice Olympic 1,500 champion.
“The fans that I have spoken to have all said it’s pretty positive, they like the fact that you’ve got more stuff happening.”
One change Coe would like to see is the height of the 400m hurdles raised.
“It’s very much a personal view, I’ve spoken to a couple of 400 metre hurdlers and they think that actually, it’s probably something we might want to look at,” he said.
“Because these guys don’t really look like they’re breaking their form very much to (clear the hurdles).”

CORONADO – Her sense of humor knew no bounds, she loved movies and languages, she inspired thousands of people with her miniatures and floral arrangements, she was interwoven into the very fabric of Coronado, and never, ever, used the F word.
This is but a modest introduction to a woman many grew to know and love as Dodo Stanley, an affectionate nickname given to her by her father. Dorothy Evelyn Stanley (nee Gill) left this earth on June 23 as the result of natural causes. She was 91. She is predeceased by her husband, Capt. Thomas A. Stanley (2002).
As a lifetime Navy junior/Navy wife, Dorothy made no fewer than 25 moves between her father’s military career and that of her husband. She said she never remembered a time when they weren’t traveling, “… but we always returned to Coronado,” she would proudly exclaim.
Her father graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1925. He went on to become a highly decorated career Navy captain and is in the Navy Hall of Fame. He started out in biplanes and was a member of the flying stunt team, the Red Rippers Squadron, precursor to the Blue Angels, and the Navy’s oldest continuously active fighter squadron. He later served as executive officer on the aircraft carrier Enterprise during WWII, commanded three carriers, and three naval bases.
Dorothy’s late husband Thomas flew S-2s, and was commanding officer of VS 29 and of the USS Guam during his 30-year career in the US Navy. No matter how you add it up, that’s a lot of deployments. Somewhere in between all that traveling, Dorothy and Tom had six children, ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Born in Annapolis, MD, the youngest of three children, to Evelyn Jeanette Delanux and Cecil Batchelder Gill, Dorothy saw much of the world in her 91 years. Her father’s family emigrated from England to Canada and then Wisconsin in the mid-1800s. Her mother’s family hailed from England and France, and emigrated to Hawaii in the early 1800s. Her mother was born in Hawaii when it was still a kingdom under the rule of Queen Lili’uokalani.
Dorothy was always considered one of the brightest people in the room, waxing eloquently on subjects far and wide. Friends were often surprised to find she only had a high school education. You see, Dorothy had an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and the world was her classroom.
She started her Coronado school journey in kindergarten (1938-39) while living at Quarters Q on North Island. She remembered the Spanish Bight out their front door, and witnessed the Officers Club pool being built. Their first Coronado home was the Colonial Apartments, at Olive and D. They were the first family to rent there. The population of Coronado back then was only 7,000.
Journalist Kimberlie Guerrieri captured Dorothy’s descriptions of just how different Coronado was in those early days. “World War II brought air raid sirens and ration cards to Coronado. Dorothy [recalled] how soap, shoes, and even bananas were hard to come by. Scrap metal drives were held at Coronado High School. You could feel the threat of war in Coronado. Buildings on the base were covered in camouflage netting. San Diego Bay was filled with small dirigibles tied down at various heights to deter enemy planes from attacking.”
Young Dorothy moved away for a year, and returned to Coronado schools from 1940-46, finishing the 8th grade at Coronado Junior High School. Her sister Cecile was valedictorian at CHS. Dorothy’s Class of 1951 classmates included Tom Shine, Herb Rhodes, Mary Carlin King, Jeanne Cursio Bower, and others who went on to became movers and shakers in our community.
Dorothy learned early that as a Navy family, home was where your orders took you. She remembered being on the move constantly as a child. Some deployments were routine, and some were extremely exotic. Her favorite was Kwajalein Island, where her father was CO of the naval station there, and military governor of the Marshall Islands (post-WWII).
As a teenager, Dorothy was taken out of high school her junior year. She lived in a Quonset hut on that tiny atoll. She washed her hair in a rain barrel, and learned to drive in military Jeeps on the island’s runway. She and her mother would often go shelling and could walk to the next atoll, as long as the tide was out (there were a few close calls, which only added to the excitement for mother and daughter). Their family was much-loved by the Marshallese people.
The flexible nature of Navy families during deployment is legendary in Navy towns such as Coronado. Dorothy was typical of that lifestyle. She moved back to Coronado from 1962-74 as a Navy wife, moving permanently here in 1980, where she lived out the remainder of her years.
Although raised very properly and in a somewhat sheltered fashion, she wasn’t a prude. She accepted all people, as long as they were kind. Throughout her life, Dodo modestly found her niche as a creative artist and designer. She was a master floral arranger and miniature enthusiast. She served as president of the Bridge & Bay Garden Club and was chair of the Petite Design section at the Coronado Flower Show.
In her spare time, she served on numerous boards and offered formal input on developing events and projects. She was a beautiful singer, incredible cook, and hostess extraordinaire. The Stanleys were famous for their Halloween and 12th Night parties.
“My mother would always look for the humor in humanity,” said daughter Claudia. “She had a guileless, childlike innocence. Honestly? I think she was protected her whole life by her parents and our dad. She never had a paying job, but was a wonderful scholar. She considered music a miracle, a gift. She played the piano. She loved the Beatles (woke us up to watch their debut on the Ed Sullivan show), took us to all the Beatles movies. She was the most fun person you could ever hope to meet. She took youngest brother Jim out of school to see Star Wars movie openings in the 1980s, multiple times.”
Dorothy always considered herself a “reincarnated Italian renaissance woman,” her children would agree. She felt the history and culture of Italy deeply. She adored opera singer Andrea Bocelli and saw him in concert 8-10 times. She made trips to Italy and other European locations with her husband, and then visited another eight times with her children and friends.
She developed a mad crush on Bocelli. At one point, she was given a larger than life cardboard cutout of the legendary opera singer, standing. She loved posing next to her cardboard Bocelli, redefining the term, “One degree of separation.”
“Mom made dolls and doll clothes for her kids and grandkids,” said one of her children; “troll houses out of shoe boxes, costumes, miniature furniture out of ordinary items such as cakes out of buttons.”
Community-wise, Dorothy served six years on the board of directors at the Coronado Historical Association & Museum, she participated in choirs, was a founding member and past president of the Bridge and Bay Garden Club; she led the Petite Design Section of the Coronado Flower Show for many years, earning accolades and awards for both her standard-sized and miniature floral arrangements. She often exhibited at Art Alive for the San Diego Museum of Art.
This past spring, she received a special award for exemplary volunteerism from the Coronado Floral Association, was named an “Island Icon” by the Coronado Historical Association in January 2023, and continued to support her community at every opportunity. As one of the Bridge & Bay Club founders, she’s credited with coming up with the concept of a pink flamingo mascot and logo for the Bridge & Bay Club, which remains prominent to this day.
Dorothy was fiercely passionate about Coronado history and preserving its charm. She could often be heard to say, “How do we quantify charm?” Her 1927 home is a designated Coronado Historic Home. That was very important to her, ensuring that no one in the future could tear it down. She hated every time a local tree in town was cut down. She considered herself to be so very, very lucky and to have been a part of the Coronado community.
“My mother always felt people were ‘privileged’ to know her children,” said Claudia, her oldest. “She never said the ‘f’ word, ever! She was a lady, and didn’t like anything crass. Her preference was always classic style. She loved the opera and all the arts and sciences. She instilled a love of reading, learning, art (always markers and crayons and paper around) in all of her six children; the sciences, and history (historical novels); sewing, painting ceramics, guitar, piano, singing. Silliness! We could laugh and laugh! She really was a renaissance woman, and we miss her terribly.”
If Dorothy Stanley had a weakness, an addiction, it was movies. Daily conversations with her often included the movie of the day. Her car license plate read, “MUVBUFF.” During her youth she spent every Saturday at the old Strand Theatre, where Lamb’s Players Theatre is now. She would hang out at the Hotel del Coronado hoping for a sighting of one of her favorite movie stars. She met several, including Van Johnson.
Those Saturday afternoon matinee adventures fueled her love of stars and starlets. “Mom was huge movie fan,” recalled daughter Claudia. “Every day, or multiple times a day, she would talk about a movie, recite lines, and walk around the house practicing speaking with foreign accents. She knew all the actors and bit actors, and knew all the movies that came out in the 1940s and ‘50s. She practically lived at the Strand Theatre and got all her news from newsreels that preceded the movies.
She would write to movie stars and ask for autographs, and they would respond. She watched the Grammys and Oscars religiously. Turner Classic Movies was a constant companion. She wasn’t limited to a single film genre. She loved comedy, romance, drama, musicals, sci-fi films, and everything in-between.”
Despite her comic attempts at duplicating foreign accents, which, by the way, kept her children in stitches on a daily basis, she was a linguist and grammarian, often correcting the grammar of her children as well as TV commentators. She was a stickler for pronunciation and punctuation. Local author/columnist and wordsmith, Richard Lederer, was a favorite and she cut out his column in the SD Union-Tribune nearly every week to share. Funny and unusual names were a constant source of entertainment in the Stanley home. She loved people and all the idiosyncrasies that came with them.
Dorothy lost her husband Tom, the love of her life, in 2002. She was only 69. No one had any idea she would live on for another two decades. And yet, in a way, Tom’s passing marked a sort of shifting of gears for Dorothy. She was independent. Her life was never boring, never dull, but now she went into high gear for the remainder of her life, doing all the things she loved doing. She just kept putting one foot in front of the other with enviable style and grace.
She was devoted to her children and grandchildren. In her spare time, she focused on her hobbies and passions. The results were phenomenal. Dodo was indeed a talented lady. She wrote poems and song lyrics to familiar tunes, made collage cards, dried pressed flower pictures, and personalized felt ornaments. Her home is like a museum, wall to wall, floor to ceiling, covered with delightful and intricate miniatures and other works of art.
She found joy in the simplest of things, from a paper clip to a pressed and saved flower — from miniatures to outer space. She read books on nebulae and tried to make sense of physics. She felt that when she died, she would know everything and see how things were formed, such as Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and see how her parents grew up, etc.
Tom and Dodo traveled a lot with close friends George and Mary Ann Bruce. The two men had parallel military careers beginning in the late 1960s and their families shared many, many adventures together. When the two men retired from the military, the Stanley and Bruce families saw their friendships and adventures continue to grow.
“I’ve never had a friend like Dodo,” said Mary Ann. “We went to Italy with them, and she picked up the language so fast, while we were still struggling just to say hello.
“There was a levelness about her. She didn’t put on airs, she didn’t over dress. She was very self-satisfied and ever so mellow. Most people have big drama, but not Dodo. You could always depend on her to be there, to listen to you, and just be a good friend. I miss her terribly.”
Dorothy was raised as a Catholic and attended Sacred Heart Church. She became ecumenical, and then non-denominational, but she never lost her relationship with God. In Dodo’s world, all people were worthy, underprivileged children were special, the San Diego Zoo is a bit of heaven on earth, and it’s a shame she never fulfilled her desire to pet a baby tiger.
Dorothy is survived by her sister Cecile Brooks (age 94) of Mountain View, CA; her children, Claudia Gallant (Daniel), San Diego; Christopher Stanley, Port Angeles, WA; Jennifer Tucker Orange, CA; Thomas Stanley, Santa Barbara; Carolyn Ewing (Bill) of Blanco, TX; and James Stanley of San Francisco. She is also survived by ten grandchildren, six great grandchildren, three nephews, extended family and many friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 11, 3 p.m., at Coronado Yacht Club. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made, “In Memory of Dorothy Stanley,” to Bridge and Bay Garden Club, Lamb’s Players Theater, and the Coronado Historical Association.

Introduction
In 1865, after two and a half centuries of brutal enslavement, Black Americans had great hope that emancipation would finally mean real freedom and opportunity. Most formerly enslaved people in the United States were remarkably willing to live peacefully with those who had held them in bondage despite the violence they had suffered and the degradation they had endured.
Emancipated Black people put aside their enslavement and embraced education, hard work, faith, and citizenship with extraordinary enthusiasm and devotion. By 1868, over 80 percent of Black men who were eligible to vote had registered, schools for Black children became a priority, and courageous Black leaders overcame enormous obstacles to win elections to public office.
The new era of Reconstruction offered great promise and could have radically changed the history of this country. However, it quickly became clear that emancipation in the United States did not mean equality for Black people. The commitment to abolish chattel slavery was not accompanied by a commitment to equal rights or equal protection for African Americans and the hope of Reconstruction quickly became a nightmare of unparalleled violence and oppression.
Between 1865 and 1877, thousands of Black women, men, and children were killed, attacked, sexually assaulted, and terrorized by white mobs and individuals who were shielded from arrest and prosecution. White perpetrators of lawless, random violence against formerly enslaved people were almost never held accountable—instead, they frequently were celebrated. Emboldened Confederate veterans and former enslavers organized a reign of terror that effectively nullified constitutional amendments designed to provide Black people equal protection and the right to vote.
In a series of devastating decisions, the United States Supreme Court blocked Congressional efforts to protect formerly enslaved people. In decision after decision, the Court ceded control to the same white Southerners who used terror and violence to stop Black political participation, upheld laws and practices codifying racial hierarchy, and embraced a new constitutional order defined by “states’ rights.”
Within a decade after the Civil War, Congress began to abandon the promise of assistance to millions of formerly enslaved Black people. Violence, mass lynchings, and lawlessness enabled white Southerners to create a regime of white supremacy and Black disenfranchisement alongside a new economic order that continued to exploit Black labor. White officials in the North and West similarly rejected racial equality, codified racial discrimination, and occasionally embraced the same tactics of violent racial control seen in the South.
It was during Reconstruction that a century-long era of racial hierarchy, lynching, white supremacy, and bigotry was established—an era from which this nation has yet to recover.
Most Americans know very little about the Reconstruction era and its legacy. Historians have frequently overlooked this critical 12-year period that has had profound impact on life in the United States. Our collective ignorance of what happened immediately after the Civil War has contributed to misinformed stereotypes and misguided false narratives about who is honorable and who is not and has allowed bigotry and a legacy of racial injustice to persist.
In 2015, the Equal Justice Initiative issued a new report that detailed over 4,400 documented racial terror lynchings of Black people in America between 1877 and 1950.
We now report that during the 12-year period of Reconstruction at least 2,000 Black women, men, and children were victims of racial terror lynchings.
Thousands more were assaulted, raped, or injured in racial terror attacks between 1865 and 1877. The rate of documented racial terror lynchings during Reconstruction is nearly three times greater than during the era we reported on in 2015. Dozens of mass lynchings took place during Reconstruction in communities across the country in which hundreds of Black people were killed.
Tragically, the rate of unknown lynchings of Black people during Reconstruction is also almost certainly dramatically higher than the thousands of unknown lynchings that took place between 1877 and 1950 for which no documentation can be found. The retaliatory killings of Black people by white Southerners immediately following the Civil War alone likely number in the thousands.
EJI presents this report to provide context and analysis of what happened during this tragic period of American history and to describe its implications for the issues we face today. We believe our nation has failed to adequately address or acknowledge our history of racial injustice and that we must commit to a new era of truth-telling followed by meaningful efforts to repair and remedy the continuing legacy of racial oppression. We hope this report sparks much needed conversation and encourages communities to join us in the important task of advancing truth and justice.
Bryan Stevenson, Director
Inequality After Enslavement
On the question of racial equality, there was often little distinction between slavery’s white supporters and detractors. “God has made the negro an inferior being not in most cases, but in all cases,” leading pro-slavery New Yorker John H. Van Evrie wrote in the 1850s. Even New England abolitionist Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe openly expressed the view that Black people were naturally inferior to white people. He tried to drum up support for abolition by assuring white people that Black people would “dwindle and gradually disappear from the peoples of this continent” if freed. Clearly an end to enslavement alone would not emancipate Black people from racism. But first things would have to come first.
Beginning in 1861, 11 Southern states determined to maintain enslavement seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America.
In South Carolina, the first state to secede, legislators declared that “[a]n increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery” was a primary catalyst for their action. As Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee followed, the Confederacy developed a platform of “states’ rights” and “home rule” that aimed to preserve white supremacy and enslavement.
Even before the war’s end, Confederate hatred for Black autonomy and power led to brutal attacks. Black soldiers in the Union Army symbolized the height of Black “disobedience” and became immediate targets for violence that exceeded even the bounds of war.
When an outnumbered “colored” unit of the Union Army surrendered Fort Pillow, Tennessee, to Confederate forces on April 12, 1864, the rules of war required the Confederates to take the 262 Black soldiers as prisoners. Instead, the Confederates massacred the Black men, along with nearby Black civilians. A later federal investigation concluded: “It is the intention of the rebel authorities not to recognize the officers and men of our colored regiments as entitled to the treatment accorded by all civilized nations to prisoners of war.”
On March 10, 1865, Confederate soldiers in Darlington, South Carolina, hanged a young Black woman named Amy Spain from a sycamore tree on the courthouse lawn. Accused of “treason and conduct unbecoming a slave” for aiding Union forces who had briefly occupied the town, Ms. Spain was killed just weeks before the end of the Civil War.
By the time the war ended with Confederate surrender to the Union on April 9, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln had issued an Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery in the rebel territories and Congress had advanced a constitutional amendment that aimed to abolish slavery nationwide. “Slavery is dead,” read an editorial in The Cincinnati Enquirer published days after the surrender. “The negro is not; there is our misfortune.”
If the end of the war led the United States government to abandon the millions of Black people still living in the war-torn South amidst a beaten Confederacy, those emancipated people’s futures in freedom would be bleak and short-lived. In a November 1865 letter to Major General Steadman of the Union Army, 125 freedmen in Columbus, Georgia, begged federal troops to stay in the city:
We wish to inform you that if the Federal Soldiers are withdrawn from us, we will be left in a most gloomy and helpless condition. A number of Freedmen have already been killed in this section of country; and . . . we have every reason to fear that others will share a similar fate.
Formerly enslaved Black people understood that federal intervention was necessary to require white Southerners to honor their rights as Americans. Their letter ended by pleading for federal troops “not to leave us to the tender mercy of our enemies—unprotected.”
Decades later, in his 1903 book, The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois described the reality Black people faced. “Not a single Southern legislature stood ready to admit a Negro, under any conditions, to the polls,” he explained.
Not a single Southern legislature believed free Negro labor was possible without a system of restrictions that took all its freedom away; there was scarcely a white man in the South who did not honestly regard Emancipation as a crime, and its practical nullification as a duty.
After the Confederacy’s defeat, the United States was preserved but devastated, and faced an uncertain future. Many of the day’s most pressing questions asked: what would happen to the entrenched institution of slavery? And what fate would befall the millions of Black people who had been enslaved at the war’s start?
The 1863 Emancipation Proclamation left these questions unanswered. How the nation would travel from war to peace depended on how it would chart Black Americans’ path from slavery to freedom. Reconstruction became that path, but its initially hopeful promise proved to be short-lived, dangerous, and deadly.
Emancipation by Proclamation—Then by Law
In September 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued a preliminary proclamation announcing that, by executive order, he would declare the freedom of millions of Black people enslaved within the Confederacy—effective the following January. Enslavement was the core catalyst and conflict of the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation brought that conflict to a head.
For years before the Civil War, white people in the South had grown increasingly worried that federal authorities would try to force abolition upon the South, and increasingly certain that the resulting social and economic upheaval would destroy them all.
“Can [white people] without indignation and horror contemplate the triumph of negro equality, and see his own sons and daughters in the not distant future associating with free negroes upon terms of political and social equality?” Alabama official Stephen F. Hale asked in a 1860 letter to the governor of Kentucky. If slavery was abolished, Hale warned, “the two races would be continually pressing together,” and an “amalgamation or the extermination of the one or the other would be inevitable.”
That fear and anxiety largely fueled the Confederate states’ secession movement. After Alabama seceded from the Union a year later, Hale represented the state in the Confederate Congress as one of many voices in a pro-slavery chorus. Hale died from battle wounds in 1862, months before Lincoln’s preliminary proclamation, but the Confederate reaction largely mirrored his views.
“They call Mr. Lincoln an ‘ape,’ a ‘fiend,’ a ‘beast,’ a ‘savage,’ a ‘highwayman,’” read an October 1862 issue of Harper’s Weekly, reporting on Southern reaction to Lincoln’s preliminary proclamation.
[The Confederate] Congress is resolved into a dozen committees, each trying to devise some new form of retaliation to be inflicted upon United States citizens and soldiers, if we dare to carry the proclamation into effect, and tamper—to use the words of the Richmond Enquirer—with “four thousand millions” worth of property!
The Confederate Congress responded to the preliminary proclamation with a resolution denouncing Lincoln’s act as “a violation of the usages of civilized warfare, an attack on private property, and an invitation to servile insurrection” and vowing to resist enforcement. But the proclamation did not enjoy uniform or widespread support in the North, either.
In the 1862 midterm elections, candidates challenging Lincoln’s political allies warned that Emancipation would bring an influx of free Black people into Northern states. “The general theme in the campaign, from New York to Iowa, was ‘Every white laboring man in the North who does not want to be swapped off for a free nigger should vote the [anti-Lincoln] Democratic ticket.’” Indeed, many Northern states already had laws restricting emigration of free Black people, and had little more commitment to racial equality than their counterparts in the South. By the time election results were tallied, the anti-Emancipation message had won in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and vaulted Horatio Seymour—the fiercely pro-slavery “white man’s candidate’—to the governor’s office in New York.
For all the opposition it inspired, the Emancipation Proclamation—more war measure than humanitarian act—stopped far short of ending slavery in the United States when it took effect on January 1, 1863.
On its face, the order declared the freedom of only those enslaved people held in states in rebellion against the United States, namely South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina. The proclamation exempted Tennessee, as well as Union-occupied portions of Virginia and Louisiana, and left slavery wholly intact in the border states of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri.
Many Southern planters attempted to hide the news from enslaved people, using threats and violence to force silence and attacking those who dared attempt to flee. Where federal troops were present, however, many enslaved people courageously fled bondage and sought protection and freedom in Union camps. For the many more enslaved people living where federal forces were absent or unreachable, Lincoln’s declaration did nothing, and the hold of enslavement lasted well beyond 1863. Up until the war’s end in 1865, local newspapers in Montgomery, Alabama, continued to advertise auction sales of enslaved people and publish ads seeking the return of “runaways.”
In an August 1864 letter, a Black woman named Annie Davis living in Maryland asked Lincoln himself to clarify whether she remained in bondage. “Mr. President,” she began,
It is my Desire to be free. To go to see my people on the Eastern Shore. My mistress wont let me. You will please let me know if we are free and what I can do. I write to you for advice. Please send me word this week. or as soon as possible and oblidge [sic].
Ms. Davis’s letter survives at the National Archives among correspondence received by the Colored Troops Division. There is no evidence she ever received a reply.
If abolition was to become permanent and widespread, what began with the limited Emancipation Proclamation would have to become broader, national law. In December 1863, as the war continued and the Confederate states remained in rebellion, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery. It passed the Senate in April 1864 and, after extended debate and initial defeat, passed the House in January 1865. Ratification required approval by 27 of the 36 states, including in the South where states were still fighting a war to secede.
Within months, the Confederacy had surrendered, President Lincoln had been assassinated, and new federal laws required the rebel states to ratify the abolition amendment to be readmitted to the Union. The former Confederate states reluctantly complied. In early December 1865, Georgia became the 27th state to ratify, and the Thirteenth Amendment was adopted soon afterward. Several states nonetheless continued to resist ratification in symbolic defiance, even after legal abolition had been achieved—Delaware, Kentucky, and Mississippi did not officially ratify the Thirteenth Amendment until the 20th century.
Perhaps more importantly, ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment did not reflect or require a commitment to racial equality or an agreement that enslavement should end.
The Thirteenth Amendment’s adoption meant that the Constitution banned racialized chattel slavery—it did not mean that white Southerners recognized Black people as fully human or that Southern officials would enforce their new legal protections absent federal oversight.
George King, a Black man in Oklahoma, recalled in 1937 how freedom was explained to him when he was emancipated in South Carolina decades earlier: “The Master he says we are all free,” Mr. King said, “but it don’t mean we is white. And it don’t mean we is equal.”
Following the war, Black autonomy expanded but the white American identity remained deeply rooted in white supremacy. Southern white communities rejected the notion that federal law recognized their former property as people, and they resented the Union troops still stationed in the region to enforce this new reality. This Southern white resistance to Black legal rights required the law to go further in order to make Black freedom truly meaningful.
The year after the war’s end, a U.S. Congress still operating without representation from most Confederate states passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, declaring Black Americans full citizens entitled to equal civil rights.
President Andrew Johnson, who took office following Lincoln’s death, was a Tennessee native sympathetic to Southern sentiments. He vetoed the bill and vocally questioned “whether, where eleven of the thirty-six states are unrepresented in Congress at the time, it is sound policy to make our entire colored population, and all other excepted classes, citizens of the United States.” But Johnson also objected to the act’s substance:
The bill, in effect proposes a discrimination against large numbers of intelligent, worthy and patriotic foreigners and in favor of the negro, to whom, after long years of bondage, the avenues to freedom and intelligence have just now been suddenly opened. He must of necessity, from his previous unfortunate condition of servitude, be less informed as to the nature and character of our institutions than he who, coming from abroad, has to some extent, at least, familiarized himself with the principles of a Government to which he voluntarily entrusts life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Before the Fourteenth Amendment could become an enforceable part of the Constitution, 28 of the 37 states had to ratify it. Likely emboldened by Johnson’s defiant message of opposition, Southern legislatures refused—10 of the 11 former Confederate states rejected the amendment with overwhelming majorities and Louisiana did so unanimously. The amendment fell short of the required state ratifications and could not yet be adopted.
In response, and again over President Johnson’s veto, Congress passed the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, imposing military rule on the South and requiring states seeking readmission to the Union to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Reconstruction Acts also established voting rights for African American men, dramatically altering the South’s political landscape. By July 1868, enough states had ratified the Fourteenth Amendment and it was adopted. The United States Constitution now declared all persons born in the country were citizens, regardless of race, and thus entitled to the “privileges and immunities” of citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. Two years later, in 1870, the United States ratified the Fifteenth Amendment, explicitly prohibiting racial discrimination in voting —but leaving women of all races disenfranchised for another 50 years. Together, these legal developments established the meaning of citizenship for Black people who, just a few years earlier, had been denied that status by the nation’s highest court.
In Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857, the Supreme Court declared Black people born in the United States ineligible for national citizenship and unable to claim the rights and immunities guaranteed by the Constitution.
Now, little more than a decade later and following the national upheaval of civil war and political reconstruction, the nation for the first time beheld a new legal creation: the Black American. Throughout the country, Black men, women, and children—some of whom had been free for generations and others who were enslaved until very recently—were for the first time legally protected from racialized enslavement, recognized as United States citizens, and legally guaranteed the rights of that status.
Political participation, education, and economic advancement soon emerged as the immediate goals and most powerful symbols of freedom. Those also proved to be the earliest targets of overwhelming post-Emancipation racial violence.
In February 1867, Congress approved the First Reconstruction Act, which outlined a process for restoring the Confederate states to the Union, and sent it to President Andrew Johnson for review and signature. Remembered by some as “a champion of the white South,” Johnson denounced and vetoed the bill, calling it an attempt to “coerce the [Southern] people into the adoption of principles and measures to which it is known that they are opposed and upon which they have an undeniable right to exercise their own judgment.”
Johnson preferred a more lenient policy that would cancel Confederate debt, pardon former Confederates in exchange for their pledged loyalty to the Union, and restore former Confederate states to the Union once they denounced secession and wrote new constitutions that abolished slavery. Johnson instituted this policy of “Presidential Reconstruction”—which did not require Southern states to guarantee voting rights for Black men or involve Black people in the writing of new state constitutions—when he took office following President Lincoln’s 1865 assassination.
By 1867, Congress had grown frustrated that former Confederate leaders were controlling Southern state governments and actively working to undermine Emancipation and the Reconstruction Amendments. In March 1867, Congress overrode President Johnson’s veto and the First Reconstruction Act became law.
The act implemented “Reconstruction” as a longer period of post-war transition that empowered African American men as an electorate and excluded former government officials who had aided the Confederacy. It divided 10 former Confederate states into five Reconstruction districts held under federal military control and led by commanding generals. Tennessee was excepted, since it had been readmitted to the Union in 1866. Each state had to complete a series of requirements to earn full federal restoration; the first was to hold a state convention of elected delegates and draft a new constitution establishing voting rights for men of all races.
Over the next two years, three additional laws were passed to form the collective Reconstruction Acts. Together, they authorized the commanding military generals to register voters and hold elections for delegates; declared that “the governments then existing in the rebel States . . . were not legal state governments;” and authorized the election of state officials and representatives to Congress while the new state constitution was up for ratification.
To earn full restoration to the Union, these states had to write new constitutions, have the constitutions ratified by a majority of voters, elect new officials under the new constitutional guidelines, ratify the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and secure reinstatement from Congress.
The 10 former Confederate states held their required constitutional conventions between November 5, 1867, and February 8, 1869. Of the 1,027 total delegates who participated, 258—nearly 1 in 4—were African American men. In some states their numbers were much greater. Black men made up the majority of delegates at the South Carolina convention, nearly half in Louisiana, and more than a third in Florida.
Even with the protection of federal troops and the force of federal law, Black people empowered to participate in the remaking of the South faced violence at the hands of resentful white mobs. At least 26 African American delegates to constitutional conventions were victims of Ku Klux Klan attacks. Newberry, South Carolina, delegate Lee A. Nance was shot and killed outside of his home in October 1868. That same month, a Black man named Benjamin Randolph was shot in the head while riding a train, one day after giving a controversial political speech in Abbeville, South Carolina. “Future generations will look back with horror,” read a resolution by the South Carolina legislature following Mr. Randolph’s murder, “upon the parties who, in open daylight, made an attack on him from behind.”
As Reconstruction continued, violent white resistance to Black political power, citizenship rights, and freedom spread terror throughout the South, diminishing Black electoral influence and restoring to office many former Confederate officials who still promoted white supremacist policies.
Terror campaigns enabled white people opposed to racial equality to gain control of most Southern state legislatures. By 1876, pro-Reconstruction officials controlled state governments in only three of the former Confederate states.
