# Daniel de Marbelle

Daniel de Marbelle (also known as Dion de Marbelle) (1818-1903) was an American gospel songwriter, soldier, musician, and early circus clown who wrote When They Ring Those Golden Bells (also known as "There's a Land Beyond the River").
Marbelle was born in Leon in France (or Spain) in 1817 or 1818 and emigrated to the United States as a young child. Early in life, Marbelle worked on a whaling ship and eventually joined the United States Navy. During the Mexican-American War in 1847, Marbelle served as a drummer with a New York company. In 1858 he married Ann Sitts in McHenry, Illinois. During the American Civil War he served as a drum major in the 6th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment. After the War, Marbelle travelled as an actor and musician and was the first clown in the James Anthony Bailey circus, before it became part of the P.T. Barnum Circus. Marbelle also ran his own circus for a period, and assisted Buffalo Bill Cody in setting up his Wild West Show. Marbelle also sang in a Methodist choir in Elgin, Illinois where he had a brass band and called figures at square dances. Marbelle was purportedly cheated out of the copyright of his 1887 hit, "When They Ring Those Golden Bells," and the copyright was acquired by the John Church Company. Marbelle died penniless in 1903 in Aledo, Illinois at the Soldier's Home and was buried in the Bluff City Cemetery in Elgin, Illinois.
# Capoterra

Capoterra (Italian:: Sardinian: Cabuderra; from Latin Caput Terrae, "head of the Earth") is a town and comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. At 2011 national census it had 24,017 inhabitants and is part of the Cagliari metropolitan area.
It is located on the western arm of the Golfo degli Angeli, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) from Cagliari. Economy is mostly based on services, although the tourism sector has grown notably in the past decades.

## History

Extending at the foot of Mount Arcosu and bathed by the Cagliari pond - known as Santa Gilla - Capoterra is a centre of about 23,000 inhabitants on the south-western outskirts of the capital of Sardinia. In its vast territory, inhabited since pre-Nuragic times, nature and history intertwine. On the Arcosu there are enchanting and remarkable landscapes, almost four thousand hectares of forest, with a 'heart' of holm oaks and cork oaks, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, where Sardinian deer and fallow deer roam undisturbed. The park is irrigated by streams and waterfalls. Within the 1300 hectares of the Cagliari lagoon, one of Europe's most important avifauna oases, is the Capoterra pond, where flamingos and black-winged stilts can be observed. Nearby, at Cuccuru Ibba, there are traces dating back to the Neolithic period: a lithic workshop and circular huts. In various localities, there are ruins from the Nuragic period, necropolis and towers, in particular the Monti Arrubiu nuraghe. A settlement at su Loi and a necropolis at Sant'Antonio date back to the Punic period (5th-4th century B.C.). From history to astrophysics: in the hills near the hamlet of Poggio dei Pini stands the astronomical observatory frequented by international teams of scientists.

## Origins of the name

The name of the town derives from the Latin Caput terrae: in Roman times, the urban centre (perhaps an oppidum) developed near the lagoon. In the Judicial period, it was a villa of the curatorate of Nora and, from 1120, of the giudicato of Cagliari. After passing to the Pisan seigniory and later the Aragonese conquest, the town was destroyed and uninhabited for three centuries. Until the mid-seventeenth century when Baron Girolamo Torrelas decided to repopulate it, granting families from other parts of Sardinia plots of land and 'good conditions' to escape pendencies with the minor justice system.
Within the town, the parish church of Sant'Efisio, the town's patron saint, whose original nucleus was not by chance called Villa sant'Efisio, stands out for its history and tradition. Identity and legend materialise in the Romanesque church of santa Barbara de Montes, erected on the eastern slopes of the Capoterra mountains. Fifty metres from the church, Basilian monks built a chapel, where it is said that the martyr Barbara was beheaded during the Christian persecution. The head, falling off, is said to have originated a spring, still active today, sa Scabizzada (the beheaded). The area around it became the summer residence of Cagliari families in the 20th century.

# Meitei translations and literary adaptations of the Mahabharata

The Mahabharata is one of the epics of Sanskrit literature that is translated as well as literarily adapted into Meitei language (officially called Manipuri), thereby creating a space for Hindu literature within the granary of Meitei literature (Manipuri literature).
As Meitei language uses both Meitei script as well as Eastern Nagari script (Bengali script), the literary works are written in either of the two scripts.

## History
### Parikshit

in 1724, Meitei King Pamheiba, also known as Gharib Nawaz, having converted from Sanamahism to Hinduism by Guru Gopaldas, composed his version of the Parikshit, a Meitei-language version of an episode he found appealing from the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The work was actually a translation of a Bengali literary work, the History of Bengali Language and Literature by Gangadas Sen. Later, the Meitei version was retouched by Angom Gopi.

### Virat Santhuplon

The Book of Virata (Meitei: Virat Santhuplon) is a translation of the Bengali Virata Parva, by Ramkrishna Das. The translation work was done by the Meitei prince Nabananda in 1780. The prince was formally made heir apparent when his father Ching-Thang Khomba ascended the throne of Manipur in 1763. Prince Nabananda spent around two months in the woods for carrying out a royal task of cutting down large trees for working on his translation.
Unlike other Meitei literary works on Hinduism, this text is free from the usual mixing of words of Indo Aryan languages.$^{:139}$

## Modern works
### Kalachand Shastri

Between 1956 and 1989, Kalachand Singh Shastri translated 37 volumes of the Mahabharata into Meitei language, for which he was bestowed the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for translation.

# John P. McVeane

John P. McVeane (1842 – May 10, 1864) was an American soldier who fought in the American Civil War. McVeane received his country's highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor. McVeane's medal was won for capturing the flag from a Confederate Color bearer at Fredericksburg Heights. He was posthumously honored with the award on September 21, 1870.
McVeane was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He joined the 49th New York Volunteer Infantry from Buffalo, New York in August 1861. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in October 1863, and was mortally wounded during the Battle of the Wilderness. McVeane was one of 30 Canadians to win the Medal of Honor.

## Medal of Honor citation

# Multatuli Museum (Indonesia)

The Multatuli Museum (Indonesian: Museum Multatuli) is a museum located in Rangkasbitung, Banten, Indonesia. Its focus is the author Multatuli (Eduard Douwes Dekker), who lived in the area in the 1850s and used it as the basis for his famous anti-colonial novel Max Havelaar. The museum also examines Dutch East Indies colonial history, the anti-colonial movement, and the local history of Rangkasbitung. There is another Multatuli Museum in Amsterdam which houses many of the author's papers.

## History

Discussions about opening a Multatuli Museum in Rangkasbitung began in the 2010s, with the support of Bonnie Triyana, a historian with roots in the area, as well as teacher Ubaidilah Muchtar, architect Bambang Eryudhawan, and Tempo journalist Kurie Suditomo. Multatuli, whose real name was Edward Douwes Dekker, was a Dutch colonial official who was Assistant Resident in Lebak for a brief period in 1856 before he clashed with his superiors and returned to Europe. Some of the injustices of the colonial society that he witnessed there were portrayed in his famous novel Max Havelaar.
The museum was opened in February 2018; it is operated by Lebak Regency, the local district-level government. It is located in a 1923 building off Rangkasbitung Square that had originally been the office of the Wedana (a type of colonial official). Although the museum is not officially affiliated with the Multatuli Museum in Amsterdam, it did receive collection items from that museum in preparation for opening. The museum attempts to incorporate the sensory experience of export products such as coffee to immerse the visitor in the nineteenth-century plantation economy portrayed by Multatuli, as well as examining colonial history and the publication of Multatuli's novel. The museum also contains sculptures of Multatuli and characters from the novel by sculptor Dolorosa Sinaga. In its inaugural year, the museum also hosted a cultural festival (Indonesian: Festival Seni Multatuli). The museum was forced to close during the COVID-19 pandemic and reopened in early 2022.

# Archibald Molbone

Archibald Molbone (1840–1912) (real name was "Archibald Malbone") was a soldier from Rhode Island who received the Medal of Honor for heroism during the American Civil War.

## Biography

Archibald Molbone was born in Coventry, Rhode Island, on May 3, 1840. He was the son of John Malbone and Huldah Corey and was living in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, when he enlisted in the Union Army.
He enlisted in Battery C, 1st Rhode Island Light Artillery on August 11, 1862, and was mustered into service the same day. During his service with Battery C he was promoted to the rank of corporal.
He transferred to Battery G, 1st Rhode Island Light Artillery on December 29, 1864, and was promoted to sergeant on the same day. He fought at the Third Battle of Petersburg, Virginia on April 2, 1865. During the battle, he was one of 20 hand-picked artillerymen who accompanied an infantry assault which captured Confederate artillery pieces which were turned on the Confederates. He received the Medal of Honor on June 20, 1866. He was mustered out of service on June 24, 1865, with the rank of sergeant.
After the war, Malbone had settled in Coventry, Rhode Island, as of 1870, where the census listed is occupation as "farm laborer". By 1885, he had moved to Scituate, Rhode Island, where the state census listed his occupation as "hustler". He was married to Mary Frances Marcure (1846–1909), with whom he had a son and three daughters.
Malbone died on February 28, 1912. He is buried in the Burton Potter Cemetery on Field Hill Road in the Clayville section of Scituate.

## Name confusion

On census records and in the report of the Adjutant General of Rhode Island for 1865, his name is listed as "Archibald Malbone". The name on his grave marker is "Archibald Malbourne" rather than "Archibald Molbone", which is the name that appears on the roll of Medal of Honor recipients. The misspelling of his last name is most likely a clerical error.

## Medal of Honor citation

   Was one of a detachment of 20 picked artillerymen who voluntarily accompanied an infantry assaulting party and who turned upon the enemy the guns captured in the assault.

Morford joined the 55th Illinois Infantry in October 1861, and was mustered out in August 1865.

## Union assault

On May 22, 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack. The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called, in nineteenth century vernacular, a "forlorn hope". Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away. The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment. The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed. Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor.

# Elizabeth A. Niles

Elizabeth A. Hawver Niles (January 22, 1842 - September 13, 1920) served for the Union Army in the American Civil War, along with her husband.

## Biography

Elizabeth Hawver was born in White Creek, New York, on January 22, 1842. She married Martin C. Niles in 1861, and in mid-April, the call for volunteers to fight in the Civil War began, and Martin enlisted in Company K of the 14th Vermont Infantry. She cut her hair, and joined her husband in battle. There are several other "Niles'" listed in the rosters for the 13th and 14th infantries, and it is likely that Elizabeth was one of them, under a male name. Throughout her service, she participated in many battles, including the Battle of Gaines's Mill, the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, and the Battle of Gettysburg. She remained undetected by the other soldiers or officers, and was mustered out with her husband on September 7, 1864. Following the war, they had 7 children together, and Martin died in 1889, leaving her with 5 children still in her care. She moved to Raritan, New Jersey, where she died on October 4, 1920, at the age of 78.
