# Thomas Boyne

Thomas Boyne (c. 1849 – April 21, 1896) was a Buffalo Soldier in the United States Army and a recipient of America's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Indian Wars of the western United States.

## Career
### Civil War

Boyne was a native of Prince George's County, Maryland. First enlisting in the artillery in 1864, Boyne served with B Battery of the Second Colored Light Artillery in battles around Richmond (Wilson's Wharf and City Point, Virginia) during the Civil War in 1864.

### Indian Wars

He was discharged in March 1866 near Brownsville, Texas, and ten months later, joined the 40th Infantry under the name Thomas Bowen. The 40th Infantry consolidated into the 25th Infantry, in which he served until 1875. In 1875, he joined the 9th Cavalry. Not even Emanuel Stance had as varied a military background as Boyne among the 9th Cavalry prior to the cavalry's pursuit of Chief Victorio in 1879.
In 1879, Boyne was serving as a Sergeant in Company C of the 9th Cavalry in New Mexico. His troop was in pursuit of Chief Victorio just prior to the Victorio's War. He was cited for "[b]ravery in action" at the Mimbres Mountains on May 29, 1879, and at the Cuchillo Negro River near Ojo Caliente on September 27, 1879. For those actions, Sergeant Boyne was awarded the Medal of Honor on January 6, 1882.
Boyne had participated in eight of his regiment's fourteen engagements with Apaches when he initiated his request for a medal in 1880. His original request was for a Certificate of Merit, the award of which came with an increase in pay. Congress was only authorized to award one such award (either the Certificate or the Medal of Honor) and a legislative protocol reserved Certificates to private soldiers and Medals of Honor to officers.

### Later career and death

Boyne assisted the cavalry in removing Sooners from native lands in Oklahoma and endured frostbite in the winter of 1884-1885 as a result. Boyne reenlisted into the 25th Infantry in July 1885 and was stationed in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory. He developed a hernia in Montana in 1888 while supervising a wood-gathering detail and the Army discharged him in January 1889 with a disability pension. Boyne moved into the U.S. Soldiers' Home and died on April 21, 1896, of consumption. Boyne was buried at the United States Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

# Richard-de-Bas paper mill

The paper mill of Richard-de-Bas in Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme, is one of the oldest French companies. It is labeled a living heritage company.

## History

This mill is believed to date back to 1326. It takes its name from a family of papermakers in the 15th century: the Richard and Bas being the geographical distinction between the six buildings around the reach. From 1400 to 1850 the skins of animals were tanned and since then rags have been used to make paper pulp.
This valley of the Dore is known in particular for its numerous paper mills; up to 400 mills produced paper from rags between Thiers and Ambert. True to this tradition, the Moulin Richard de Bas produces high-quality paper that is used for the restoration of writings, watercolours, lithographs, etc.
The facades and roofs of all the buildings, the machinery rooms on the ground floor, the rooms on the living floor in the main building, the barn and the drying shed are classified as historic monuments by order of 30 December 1983.
It was in 1940 that Marius Péraudeau (1906–1992), bought from the newspaper Le Moniteur du Puy-de-Dôme (1856–1944) this mill then abandoned after the death of Claude Chantelauze, its owner who occupied the premises. Marius Péraudeau, who was 36 years old at the time and working as an industrial paper sales representative, decided to come to the rescue of a profession that was already on the verge of disappearing. On October 14, 1940, the Marshal Pétain, head of the French State, comes at the invitation of Henri Pourrat to meet the working people in Ambert, near Vichy, on a visit to the paper mill, and ordered a ream of paper watermarked with his emblem. He therefore founded an association: "La Feuille Blanche", which created a summer camp for apprentices in the graphic arts professions (papermakers, photoengravers, printers, bookbinders) and which made it possible to hide some resistance fighters wanted by the Gestapo. In 1943, he founded the Historical Paper Museum, of which he became curator. In 1945, he organised a tour of his factory. He collaborated with the greatest artists of his time to create works of art such as: Bernard Buffet, Salvador Dali, Jacques Prévert, Joseph Foret (1901–1991), art publisher, Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, Léonor Fini, Léonard Foujita, Pierre-Yves Trémois, Georges Mathieu, Ossip Zadkine, and writers such as: Emil Cioran, Jean Cocteau, Jean Giono, Jean Guitton, Ernst Jünger, Daniel-Rops, Edmond Rostand, and others Michel Ciry, Albert Decaris, Ernst Fuchs, Roger Lersy.
After experiencing some difficulties, the business started again in 1997 under the direction of Emmanuel Kerbourc'h, grandson of the founder, who is now thinking of passing on the legacy to the next generation.
