# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Ames, Oakes

​AMES, Oakes, manufacturer, was born in Easton, Mass , Jan. 10, 1804; the elder son of Oliver and Susanna (Angier) Ames. He early gained a thorough knowledge of the details of the shovel business, and became overseer of the manufactory. In 1860 Mr. Ames was elected councillor from the Bristol district, and served in the cabinet of Governor Andrew. He was in 1862 elected to represent his district in the 38th Congress, and was re-elected to four succeeding congresses. Prior to 1864 Congress had attempted, by offering land grants and other inducements, to persuade men of enterprise to open a railroad through the great central plains and so connect the east and west. Government interests imperatively needed such a a road. Urged by President Lincoln and others, Oakes Ames undertook this immense and hazardous work, risking his entire fortune in the enterprise, and though the difficulties to be overcome were very great, they were conquered, and on the 10th of May, 1869, the rails of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific were joined, and the east and west united. This was seven years earlier than the terms of the contract required, and in the carriage of mails and the transportation of troops and supplies was of vast service to the government. The necessary limits of this ​sketch forbid adequate treatment of the Credit Mobilier affair, about which there has been much misunderstanding. It was simply a construction company similar to those by which other railroads were built at that time and afterwards. It was not until this matter was given a political turn that it became a subject of public scandal. Several representatives and senators in Congress were found to have an interest in it, and it is claimed that Mr. Ames had interested them thus, in order to influence their legislation. Congress ordered an investigation, and he was finally condemned and censured by the house of representatives for "Seeking" — so reads the resolve — "to procure congressional attention to the affairs of a corporation in which he was interested." The facts appear to be that no special legislation was expected or desired. Those congressmen who openly avowed their ownership in the stock retained public confidence, while those who, frightened by public clamor, denied their ownership, were politically ruined. Up to that time the honor and integrity of Oakes Ames had never been questioned, and those who knew him best gave no heed to the charge of corrupt intent on his part. In the spring of 1883 the legislature of Massachusetts passed resolutions of gratitude for his work, and faith in his integrity, and called for a like recognition on the part of the national Congress. Mr. Ames was simple and democratic in his tastes, caring little for the luxuries that wealth commands; he was a total abstainer from intoxicating drinks, and under a rugged exterior he carried a kind heart. He made a bequest of fifty thousand dollars for the benefit of the children of his native village, which proved of great advantage to them. He died at North Easton, Mass., May 5, 1873.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Ammen, Daniel

​AMMEN, Daniel, naval officer, was born in Brown county, O., May 15, 1820. In 1836 he was appointed midshipman and served in various squadrons until 1849, when he was advanced to the rank of lieutenant. He was attached to the coast survey on several expeditions, and aided in the selection of a naval station on the Pacific coast in 1853-'54. He served on the steam frigate Merrimac, which, at the outbreak of the civil war, was in the navy yard at Norfolk, Va., and which was seized by the Virginian state authorities in 1861 and rebuilt as an iron-clad for the confederate service. He was made executive officer of the North American blockading squadron, and soon after, at the battle of Port Royal, as commander of the Seneca, he hoisted the stars and stripes over the conquered forts. In 1863 he commanded the monitor Patapsco in the attack on Fort McAllister, and later distinguished himself at Fort Sumter, and, as commander of the Mohican, at Fort Fisher. In 1864 he won especial praise for his prompt suppression of a mutiny which broke out among two hundred and twenty seamen he was convoying to the Pacific squadron, on board the Ocean Queen, a California passenger ship. He was promoted to a captaincy July 26, 1866, raised to the rank of rear-admiral in 1877, and was placed upon the retired list June 4, 1878. He was a delegate to the Paris canal congress, and favored the construction of the Nicaragua canal. He is the author of "The American Interoceanic Ship Canal Question" (1880); "The Atlantic Coast" (1883), one of the series entitled "The Navy in the Civil War"; "Country Homes and their Improvement" (1885); and "The Old Navy and the New" (1891), the last being autobiographical. He died in Washington, D.C., July 11, 1898.

A wild bear chase didst never see?  Then hast thou lived in vain— Thy richest bump of glorious glee  Lies desert in thy brain.
When first my father settled here,  ’T was then the frontier line; The panther’s scream filled night with fear  And bears preyed on the swine.
But woe for bruin’s short-lived fun  When rose the squealing cry; Now man and horse, with dog and gun  For vengeance at him fly.
A sound of danger strikes his ear;  He gives the breeze a snuff; Away he bounds, with little fear,  And seeks the tangled rough.
On press his foes, and reach the ground  Where’s left his half-munched meal; The dogs, in circles, scent around  And find his fresh made trail.
With instant cry, away they dash,  And me at fast pursue; O’er logs they leap, through water splash  And shout the brisk halloo.
Now to elude the eager pack  Bear shuns the open ground, Through matted vines he shapes his track,  And runs it, round and round.
The tall, fleet cur, with deep-mouthed voice  Now speeds him, as the wind; While half-grown pup, and short-legged fice  Are yelping far behind.
And fresh recruits are dropping in  To join the merry corps; With yelp and yell, a mingled din—  The woods are in a roar—
And round, and round the chase now goes,  The world ’s alive with fun; Nick Carter’s horse his rider throws,  And Mose Hill drops his gun.
Now, sorely pressed, bear glances back,  And lolls his tired tongue, When as, to force him from his track  An ambush on him sprung.
Across the glade he sweeps for flight,  And fully is in view— The dogs, new fired by the sight  Their cry and speed renew.
The foremost ones now reach his rear;  He turns, they dash away, And circling now the wrathful bear  They have him full at bay.
At top of speed the horsemen come,  All screaming in a row— ‘Whoop!’ ‘Take him, Tiger!’ ‘Seize him, Drum!’  Bang—Bang! the rifles go!
And furious now, the dogs he tears,  And crushes in his ire— Wheels right and left, and upward rears,  With eyes of burning fire.
But leaden death is at his heart—  Vain all the strength he plies, And, spouting blood from every part,  He reels, and sinks, and dies!
And now a dinsome clamor rose,—  ‘But who should have his skin?’ Who first draws blood, each hunter knows  This prize must always win.
But, who did this, and how to trace  What ’s true from what ’s a lie,— Like lawyers in a murder case  They stoutly argufy.
Aforesaid fice, of blustering mood,  Behind, and quite forgot, Just now emerging from the wood  Arrives upon the spot.
With grinning teeth, and up-turned hair  Brim full of spunk and wrath, He growls, and seizes on dead bear  And shakes for life and death—
And swells, as if his skin would tear,  And growls, and shakes again, And swears, as plain as dog can swear  That he has won the skin!
Conceited whelp! we laugh at thee,  Nor mind that not a few Of pompous, two-legged dogs there be  Conceited quite as you.

Edition of 1879. See also Charles Étienne Louis Camus on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​CAMUS, Charles Étienne Louis, a French mathematician and mechanician, born at Crécy-en-Brie, Aug. 25, 1699, died in Paris in 1768. He was a professor of geometry and examiner in the schools of engineering and artillery in Paris. In 1736 he accompanied Maupertuis and Clairaut in their expedition to Lapland to measure a degree of the meridian there, and was afterward employed in the same work between Paris and Amiens. His papers in the memoirs of the academy are generally on mechanical subjects, and are of great value. He also published a Cours de mathématiques (4 vols. 8vo, Paris, 1749), and Opérations faites pour mesurer le degré de méridienne entre Paris et Amiens (8vo, 1757). In 1760 he became perpetual secretary of the academy of architecture.

​CANADIAN INDIANS. The term Canadaquois was applied by the earliest French writers to a tribe on the N. shore of the St. Lawrence, below Quebec, and apparently the tribe now known as Nasquapees.
