# Bars Fight

It is considered the oldest known work of literature by an African American and is the only known work by Lucy Terry (c. 1730–1821).
The first printing of the poem was in: Holland, Josiah Gilbert (1855). History of Western Massachusetts: The Counties of Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire. Embracing an Outline Aspects and Leading Interests, and Separate Histories of Its One Hundred Towns. Vol. II. Springfield, MA: Samuel Bowles and Co. , p. 360.
August 'twas the twenty-fifth, Seventeen hundred forty-six; The Indians did in ambush lay, Some very valient men to slay, The names of whom I'll not leave out. Samuel Allen like a hero fout, And though he was so brave and bold, His face no more shall we behold. Eleazer Hawks was killed outright, Before he had time to fight,— Before he did the Indians see, Was shot and killed immediately. Oliver Amsden he was slain, Which caused his friends much grief and pain. Simeon Amsden they found dead, Not many rods distant from his head. Adonijah Gillett we do hear Did lose his life which was so dear. John Sadler fled across the water, And thus escaped the dreadful slaughter. Eunice Allen see the Indians coming, And hopes to save herself by running, And had not her petticoats stopped her, The awful creatures had not catched her, Nor tommy hawked her on her head, And left her on the ground for dead. Young Samuel Allen, Oh lack-a-day! Was taken and carried to Canada.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Schmidt, Gustavus

Edition of 1900. Supplement.
​ SCHMIDT, Gustavus, lawyer, b. in Mariestadt, Sweden, 16 June, 1795; d. in Sweet Springs, W. Va., 20 Sept., 1877. He was educated at the classical school in Jönköpings, where his father, a judge of the aulic court for the south of Sweden, resided, and in 1810 he entered the Swedish military navy. In 1815 he settled on the eastern shore of Maryland, where he was engaged as a private tutor. Five years later he went to Richmond, Va., studied law, and after being admitted to the bar practised that profession for a number of years. Among the important cases with which he was connected was that of three Spaniards charged with piracy and murder on board the brig “Crawford.” He was assigned as counsel for them by ​
Chief Justice John Marshall, and the case created an unusual sensation, owing to the horrible nature of the crime. Subsequently he published “A Brief Sketch of the Occurrences on board the Brig Crawford” (Richmond, 1827). In 1829 he removed to New Orleans, La., where he was associated with Henry Clay as counsel for the heirs of Dubreuil Villars in their suit for the recovery of the land on which the U. S. mint stands. His knowledge of the Spanish language led to his selection by the merchants of New Orleans to look after their interests in Mexico, and subsequently he was sent to Havana to supervise the details of certain contracts between James Robb and the Spanish authorities. In 1842 he began a series of lectures on “civil law” in New Orleans, which he continued for three winters. He edited the “Louisiana Law Journal” in 1842-'3, and besides his weekly reviews of the decisions of the supreme court of Louisiana, published for years in the “True Delta,” and contributions to current periodicals, he wrote “The Civil Law of Spain and Mexico, with Notes and References” (New Orleans, 1851).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Schoelcher, Victor

Edition of 1900.
​SCHOELCHER, Victor (shel'-ker), French statesman, b. in Paris, 21 July, 1804; d. there, 26 Dec., 1893. He was the son of a merchant, studied at the College Louis le Grand, became a journalist, opposing the government of Louis Philippe and making a reputation as a pamphleteer. After 1826 he devoted himself almost exclusively to advocacy of the abolition of slavery throughout the world, contributing a part of his large fortune to establish and promote societies for the benefit of the negro race. In 1829-'31 he made a journey to the United States, Mexico, and Cuba to study slavery, in 1840-'2 he visited for the same purpose the West Indies, and in 1845-7 Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and the west coast of Africa. On 3 March, 1848, he was appointed under-secretary of the navy, and caused a decree to be issued by the provisional government which acknowledged the principle of the enfranchisement of the slaves through the French possessions. As president of a commission, Schoelcher prepared and wrote the decree of 27 April, 1848, which enfranchised the slaves forever. He was elected to the legislative assembly in 1848 and 1849 for Martinique, and introduced a bill for the abolition of the death-penalty, which was to be discussed on the day on which Prince Napoleon made his coup d'état. After 2 Dec. he emigrated to London, and, refusing to take advantage of the amnesties of 1856 and 1869, returned to France only after the declaration of war with Prussia in 1870. Organizing a legion of artillery, he took part in the defence of Paris, and in 1871 he was returned to the national assembly for Martinique. In 1875 he was elected senator for life. His works include “De l'esclavage des noirs et de la législation coloniale” (Paris, 1833); “Abolition de l'esclavage” (1840); “Les colonies françaises de l'Amérique” (1842); “Les colonies étrangères dans l'Amérique et Hayti” (2 vols., 1843); “Histoire de l'esclavage pendant les deux dernières années” (2 vols., 1847); “La verité aux ouvriers et cultivateurs de la Martinique” (1850); “Protestation des citoyens français negres et mulatres contre des accusations calomnieuses” (1851); “Le procès de la colonie de Marie-Galante” (1851); and “La grande conspiration du pillage et du meurtre à la Martinique” (1875).

​SCHOFF, Stephen Alonzo, engraver, b. in Danville, Vt., 10 Jan., 1818. He began engraving under the direction of Oliver Pelton, of Boston, with whom he remained until he was nearly of age, subsequently passing a short time with Joseph Andrews, the engraver, in whose company in 1840 he visited Europe. There he spent about two years in Paris, studying drawing a part of the time at the school of Paul Delaroche, and perfecting himself in his art. On his return to this country he engaged in bank-note work in New York, and soon was employed upon his first important work. “Cains Marius on the Ruins of Carthage,” after Vanderlyn. This plate was issued about 1843, and to expedite its publication and aid the young artist, the master American engraver, Asher Brown Durand, engraved the head and gave some touches to the figure. Other important works from the burin of ​Mr. Schoff are William Penn, engraved for the Pennsylvania historical society, a folio portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson from a drawing by Rowse, and “The Bathers,” after William M. Hunt. Mr. Schoff's work is executed in pure line, and exhibits much delicacy and a nice appreciation of the feeling of the artist he is reproducing. Recently he has turned his attention to etching, producing some beautiful plates. Mr. Schoff has at different times made Boston, Washington, and New York his home, but at present (1898) he resides at Brandon, Vt., in the active exercise of his profession.

​SCHODDE, George Henry, clergyman, b. in Alleghany City, Pa., 15 April, 1854. He was graduated at Capitol university, Columbus, Ohio, in 1872, and at its theological department in 1874, afterward studied in the universities of Tübingen and Leipsic, and in 1876 took at the latter the degree of Ph. D. In 1877 he was ordained to the Lutheran ministry in Ohio, and was pastor at Martin's Ferry, Ohio, until 1 Jan., 1880, when he was elected professor in Capitol university. He is eminent as a Semitic scholar, and has done much to promote the study of Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopic, and other languages. He had for several years been an instructor of Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac in the Summer schools of Hebrew under Prof. William R. Harper, of Yale. He has written largely for periodicals, and in the “Bibliotheca Sacra” has published the first complete translation from the Ethiopic of the “Book of Jubilees” (1885-'7). His other works are “The Book of Enoch, translated from the Ethiopic, with Introduction and Notes” (Andover, 1882), and “A Day in Capernaum,” translated from the German of Delitzsch (New York, 1887).

Edition of 1900.
​SCHOEPF, Albin Francisco, soldier, b. in Potgusch, Hungary, 1 March, 1822; d. in Hyattsville, Md., 15 Jan., 1886. He entered the military academy at Vienna in 1837, became a lieutenant of artillery in 1841, and was promoted captain on the field for bravery. At the beginning of the Hungarian war for independence in 1848 he left the Austrian service, enlisted as a private in Louis Kossuth's army, and was soon made captain, and afterward major. After the suppression of the revolution he was exiled to Turkey, served under Gen. Jozef Bem against the insurgents at Aleppo, and afterward became instructor of artillery in the Ottoman service, with the rank of major. In 1851 he came to the United States, and received an appointment in the U. S. coast survey. In 1858 he became an assistant examiner in the patent-office. He was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers on 30 Sept., 1861. Gen. Felix K. Zollicoffer, after a series of successes against the Kentucky homeguards, attacked his fortified position, called Wildcat camp, on the hills of Rock Castle county, Ky., and was defeated; but the prestige thus gained for the National arms was sacrificed by Schoepf's precipitate retreat, by order of his superior officer, a few weeks later from London to Crab Orchard, which the Confederates called the “Wild-Cat stampede.” Gen. George B. Crittenden, thinking to crush Schoepf's force at Fishing creek, or Mill springs, encountered Gen. George H. Thomas's entire army, and suffered a disastrous defeat. Gen. Schoepfs brigade led in the pursuit of the enemy to Monticello. At Perryville he commanded a division under Gen. Charles C. Gilbert. He served through the war, and was mustered out on 15 Jan., 1866. Returning to Washington, he was appointed principal examiner in the patent-office, which post he continued to fill until his death.
# Aviation Accident Report: TWA Flight 53

File No. 3624-41
REPORT OF THE CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD of the Investigation of an Accident Involving Aircraft in Scheduled Air Carrier Operation
An accident occurred at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on June 15, 1941, about 9:41 p.m., which resulted in minor damage to a Douglas DC—3 airplane, NC 1948, owned and operated by Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc. No injuries were received by any of the five passengers or the crew of three. The crew consisted of Captain Bernard Malcolm Lloyd, First Officer Thomas Lynch, both of whom were properly certificated and appropriately rated, and Hostess N. Cranger.
The flight, designated by TWA as Flight 53, originated at New York, New York, with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as its destination and with scheduled intermediate stops at Philadelphia and Harrisburg. The flight was uneventful until it made its approach for landing at Harrisburg. Normal cockpit routine was followed during the approach and the landing gear was extended and latched. Both the captain and first officer observed that the lever was in the latched position, the hydraulic pressure gauge indicated a normal reading and the green signal light was on. The flaps were then lowered. About the time that the flaps reached the full down position, and when the throttles were closed to approximately 10 inches manifold pressure, the landing gear warning horn sounded. The captain placed his hand on the landing gear control lever, moved it slightly, and the horn ceased to sound, so the landing was continued in the routine manner. When wheel contact was established, the crew noted on unusual response as if the nose of the airplane were in a lower attitude than normal. Captain Lloyd immediately opened the throttles, at which time he had the impression that the propeller blades struck the ground. A take-off was made, and the landing gear retracting mechanism was checked as the airplane circled the field. At Captain Lloyd's request, the gear was observed from the ground to ascertain in whether or not it was extended properly. Nothing was found to be wrong so the captain proceeded to make another landing, this time he completed it without a mishap, and taxied to the hangar.
Investigation disclosed that the tips of both propellers had been damaged by contact with the surface of the runway. Extensive tests failed to reveal any mechanical defect in the landing gear retracting mechanism or in the hydraulic system.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Failure of the landing gear locking mechanism to function properly for reasons undetermined.

Honorable N. E. Halaby Administrator Federal Aviation Agency Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr Halaby
Current investigation of the accident involving Standard Airways L-1049G, N189S, at Manhattan, Kansas, on May 28, 1963, has revealed that the No. 3 propeller inadvertently went into the reverse range. Detailed inspection indicated that the brake cage locking bolt necessary to prevent rotation and disengagement from the outer brake solenoid was missing. Consequently, the cage backed off several turns rendering the brake ineffective in preventing centrifugally induced low blade angles in the reverse range.
In addition to this discrepancy, the No. 2 powerplant had the cannon plugs for the left and right cowl flaps safety-wired backwards and the cannon plug for the magneto not safetied. The No. 4 engine did not have either the No. 3 PRT turbine wheel nut or the left distributor adjustment nut safetied; in addition, there was no magnetic plug in the rear sump (pressure side) as prescribed by the maintenance manual of the air carrier.
This brief review of the mechanical discrepancies on this aircraft indicates unsatisfactory maintenance and overhaul practices. The Board therefore recommends that the maintenance and overhaul procedures and practices of Standard Airways and any other maintenance agencies involved be reviewed for compliance with current regulations and accepted practices.
Mr. D. Ballard, FAA coordinator, and Mr. J. J. Rotelli, FAA member of the Powerplant Committee, both from your Kansas City Air Carrier Office, are aware of and familiar with the discrepancies that have been noted.
Sincerely yours,
