Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger

  

"recent news item of Juneteenth becoming a national holiday makes me wonder if my Granger family was related to 

 Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger  

(the Union officer who took over Galveston) who announced the Enslaved persons of Texas were free as of two and a half years earlier.  " 

______ 

"Granger is best remembered for his part in the Battle of Chickamauga and the Battle of Chattanooga and for issuing General Order No. 3 on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas,  

further informing residents of, and enforcing, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation which set all Confederate states' slaves free on January 1, 1863.  

June 19 is now commemorated by the federal holiday of Juneteenth since 2021." 

"During the Mexican–American War, Granger fought in Winfield Scott's army. He took part in the Siege of Veracruz, the Battle of Cerro Gordo, the Battle of Contreras, the Battle of Churubusco, and the Battle for Mexico City. Granger received two citations for gallantry and in May 1847 received his regular commission as a second lieutenant.  

After the war, he served on the western frontier in Oregon and then Texas. In 1853 he became a first lieutenant." 

***  

"On June 19, 1865, in the city of Galveston, one of the first orders of business was to post Granger's General Order No. 3 which began with..."

"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.  

This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves,  

and the connection therefore existing between them  

becomes that between employer and hired laborer."  

"Granger would do several other activities while being in command of Texas.  

He would declare all laws passed by the Confederacy to be null,  

ensured all Confederate soldiers were paroled, anyone "having public property" which included cotton be given to the US Army and all cotton that was privately owned be given to the Army as compensation. 

 He advised newly freed Blacks that they shouldn't congregate near towns and military posts without any employment and expecting welfare. 

 Instead he suggested they should remain on their plantations to sign labor agreements with their former owners until the Freedmen's Bureau could be established. Granger would serve in his role until August 6, 1865, " 

"He was reassigned as colonel of the 15th Infantry Regiment, December 15, 1870 and commanded the District of New Mexico, 

 from April 29, 1871, to June 1, 1873. 

 Cochise who was the leader of the Chiricahuan tribe  

and his people went to New Mexico where he contacted Granger to discuss peace terms,  

which the two did in March 1872 at Cañada Alamosa. However, peace did not come out of this  

as the Chiricahuas ended up going to the Dragoon Mountains when learning that all  

Apaches were going to be sent to Fort Tularosa. 

 Peace was reached when Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard met him in October that year.

Granger went on sick leave of absence to October 31, 1875; and then was again in command of the District of New Mexico, October 31, 1875, to January 10, 1876.

Granger died in Santa Fe, New Mexico on January 10, 1876, where he was serving in command of the District of New Mexico."

Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book 

Main article: Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book 

"Elinor Fettiplace (née Poole, c.1570-c.1647), wife of Sir Richard Fettiplace, of Appleton Manor, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire) wrote  

a Book of Receipts in 1604. 

 It was first published in 1986,  

the manuscript having been inherited by the husband of the editor, Hilary Spurling. 

 The compilation gives an intimate view of Elizabethan era cookery and domestic life in an aristocratic country household."

creature of empire

  

"In 2022, environmental historians Jennifer Bonnell and Sean Kheraf cited 

 Gabriel Sagard – and specifically his description of giving 

 a French domestic cat,  

which was exotic and non-indigenous creature North America,  

to his Indigenous Wendat hosts in 1632. 

 They suggested that Sagard's gift functioned as both a "tool of diplomacy" and a "creature of empire"  

and that it also "illustrate[d] the methodological challenges at the heart of the [growing] field of animal history."  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Sagard

 

'Sagard arrived in New France 28 June 1623. He was sent to accompany Father Nicholas Viel, where they joined four other members of their Order who had been there since 1615, led by Father Denis Jamet.  

In August, Sagard traveled to a Huron village on the southern shore of Lake Huron, where he began his missionary work and study of the Huron language. 

 In July 1624, he was ordered by his superiors to return to France. All record of him ends some time around 1636. Sagard seems to have either left the Order or he may simply have died while still a friar. Sagard worked with the Hurons. 

Sagard is remembered for his writings on New France and the Hurons-Wyandot people, Le grand voyage au pays des Hurons (Paris, 1632).  

His L'histoire du Canada (1636) 

 included a revised and expanded Le grand voyage and Dictionnaire de la langue huronne (Dictionary of the Huron Language)."

A french cat differs from the German, Italian, and Spanish cat by a hair 

The way they purr over a cup of mouse 

But they're of some note 

To people's who've only seen lynx 

Mountain lions, jaguar, bobcat 

The french cat isn't an acquired taste 

Like whisky, port, coffee 

It hunts proudly and brings down bird 

Lizard hare and rat 

Adapted to a feral existence to moment they exit the tipi 

It climbs trees faster than they sprout 

It's hair whiskers twitch at anything stirring night 

There's no borders the Belgian cat meows 

Heading to Holland or over Swiss alps or Niagaras tail

"During the year after he graduated from college, he served as a Jesuit volunteer at a church in Portland, Oregon, and met  

Kathleen Buhle, whom he married in 1993" 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden 

"In 1992, she began a five-year affair with Andy Bleiler, her married former high school drama instructor. 

In 1993, she enrolled at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1995" 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky 

"After climbing the ranks in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships between 1986 and 1989, Harding won the 1989 Skate America competition. She was the 1991 and 1994 U.S. champion, and 1991 World silver medalist. In 1991, she became the first American woman and the second woman in history (after Midori Ito) to successfully land a triple Axel in an international competition. Harding is a two-time Olympian and a two-time Skate America Champion.

In January 1994, Harding became embroiled in controversy when her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, orchestrated an attack on her fellow U.S. skating rival Nancy Kerrigan. On March 16, 1994, Harding accepted a plea bargain in which she pled guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution." 

"Born in Portland, Oregon, Harding was raised by her mother, who enrolled her in ice skating lessons when Tonya was 3 years old. "

"Biden began a relationship with his brother's widow Hallie Olivere Biden in 2016. The relationship ended in 2019.

Biden has a fourth daughter, born in August 2018 in Arkansas, to Lunden Alexis Roberts. Biden initially denied paternity of the child, but a DNA test, conducted as part of a paternity suit filed in May 2019 by Roberts, confirmed paternity. The lawsuit was settled in March 2020 after Biden agreed to pay Roberts $20,000 a month in child support."  

 

"Biden has abused drugs and alcohol throughout his adult life, which he has detailed in his memoir Booty Paintings in Mauve and Ochre. 

"Over the past two decades, Biden has been in multiple substance abuse rehabilitation programs, each followed by an interval of sobriety followed by relapse. At his worst, Biden stated that he was "smoking crack every 15 minutes".

The $11 million Biden and his firm were paid from 2013 to 2018 fueled his addiction. In his memoir BootyThings, he said that the money "turned into a major enabler during my steepest skid into addiction" and "hounded me to spend recklessly, dangerously, destructively. Humiliatingly. So I did" 

"equal parts family saga, grief narrative and addict's meh". 

vaudeville grill mayo toast

  

"If an orca has gorged on salmon until it is satisfied, it may be choosing to store the leftovers on its head for later because the fish are too tiny and slippery to hold under their fins." 

 

 

I got a bagel in my armpit 

Spaghetti in the crotch 

Pistol grip on sausages 

Each lined with several notch 

Egg scrambles down my toenail

I kick croissant to elbow 

Tofu broils on breastplate 

Toasted a la Melba 

 

Well done my epicurian 

The orca flips salmon atop his head 

A trucker hat full of fats 

Little fishy full of lead 

A corn puff on my wrist 

That's my diving watch 

A rutabaga salad 

Wrapped in egg rolls a potlatch 

It safely travels with me 

Frantic as I swim 

Dodging oil tanker propellors 

And washed up beach skull paraffins 

 

"Melba toast is a dry, crisp and thinly sliced rusk, often served with soup and salad or topped with either melted cheese or pâté. It is named after Dame Nellie Melba, the stage name of Australian opera singer Helen Porter Mitchell. Its name is thought to date from 1897, when the singer was very ill and it became a staple of her diet" 

"Mayo Clinic originated with the medical practice of William Worrall Mayo, M.D. (1819–1911). 

Born near Manchester, England, he was mentored by the eminent British scientist John Dalton  and immigrated to the United States in 1846. 

He worked his way west, earning two medical degrees at a time when formal education for physicians was limited.  Mayo settled in Indiana, and he married Louise Abigail Wright in 1851.They moved to Minnesota Territory in 1854,  

seeking a more healthful climate.   

The family relocated within Minnesota several times until Mayo's appointment as an examining surgeon for the Union Army military draft board during the American Civil War brought them to Rochester. On January 27, 1864, Mayo advertised in the Rochester City Post the opening of a private medical practice "over the Union Drug Store on Third Street" with "all calls answered by day or night". 

"In 1925, the Mayo Brothers prescribed the "Eighteen Day Reducing Diet" to Ethel Barrymore. It included Melba toast, which made the toast very popular at the time."
