 completed. <mask> joined the PRR in 1861 as an engineer and rapidly rose through the ranks. He was a vice president in 1877 when the Pittsburgh Railway Riots broke out in 1877, and had become Pennsy First Vice-President by 1880. He was disappointed to be passed over for the presidency and resigned from the company in 1882. During his absence he devoted his time to horse raising but still was able to organize a new railroad the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad (NYP&N), that connected southern markets with the north. Despite no longer being an executive with PRR, he was elected to the PRR's board of directors and was recalled in 1899 to serve as president.<mask> more than doubled the PRR's total assets during his term, from $276 million to $594 million, while Track and equipment investment increased by almost 150 percent. The route from New York through Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Altoona to Pittsburgh was made double-tracked throughout; to Washington, D.C., four-tracked—Pennsy's "Broad Way." Many other lines were double-tracked; almost every part of the system was improved. New freight cutoffs avoided stations; grade crossings were eliminated, flyovers were built to streamline common paths through junctions, terminals were redesigned, and much more. <mask> initiated the Pennsy's program of electrification which led to the road being the United States' most electrified system. <mask> was succeeded as Pennsylvania Railroad president by James McCrea.

In 1867, <mask> was appointed as superintendent of motive power and machinery for the Pennsylvania railroad in Altoona with a salary of $3,000 per year ($=) when a trainman made less than $10 a week ($=). Sometime during <mask>'s tenure as superintendent, he married Lois Buchanan, daughter of the Rev. Edward Y. Buchanan and Ann Eliza Foster. Lois Buchanan was a niece of James Buchanan, 15th President of the United States, and through her mother, a niece of songwriter Stephen Foster. The couple had two sons and two daughters.In 1872, <mask> was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society. Chesterbrook Farm

<mask> was a horse enthusiast and fox hunter who owned Chesterbrook Farm, outside Berwyn, Pennsylvania, where he bred Thoroughbred racehorses. The  property is today the site of a subdivision with office buildings and homes using the Chesterbrook Farm name. The original main barn designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Furness has been maintained and restored. (Furness also designed <mask>'s Rittenhouse Square townhouse.) <mask> initially raced under the pseudonym, Mr. Kelso, and his horses as from the Kelso Stable. He owned the 1886 Preakness Stakes winner, The Bard, and the 1889 Belmont Stakes 1889 winner, Eric.As well, he bred the winner of the 1875, 1876, 1878, and 1880 Preakness Stakes and Foxford, who won the 1891 Belmont. In addition to flat-racing his Thoroughbreds, in 1895 <mask> helped found the National Steeplechase Association to organize competitive steeplechase racing. He was also responsible for the introduction of the Hackney pony to the United States. In 1878 he acquired 239 Stella in Britain and brought her to Philadelphia. In 1891, <mask> and several fellow Hackney enthusiasts founded the American Hackney Horse Society. The

<mask> (5 June 1893 – 10 February 1983) was the prime minister of Jammu and Kashmir during 1945–1947. One of the very few Kashmiri Pandits to ever hold that post, Kak had the intractable job of navigating the troubled waters of the transfer of power from British Raj to the independent dominions of India and Pakistan. He handled the activism of the state's political parties, the National Conference and Muslim Conference, and warded off pressure from the new dominions for the accession of the state. He advised the Maharaja to stay independent for at least a year before making the final decision. His actions were highly unpopular with the state's activist Muslims, and he was dismissed from the post of prime minister shortly before the independence of India and Pakistan in August 1947. <mask> was also a pioneering archaeologist who excavated the major sites of antiquities in Kashmir Valley and wrote a definitive treatise on them. Early life
<mask> was the second among seven children (four sons and three daughters) of <mask> (b.1873) —a money-lender and part time trader— and Bhageshwari Devi. He spent his early life in the Gurguri Mohalla of Srinagar. Kak graduated from Sri Pratap College in 1913 and enrolled for a M. A., before being selected for training in archaeology. From 1914 to 1919, Kak trained under John Marshall at various sites. Career
Post training, Kak was appointed as the superintendent of the newly established Department of Archaeology, before being promoted to the Director. He also served as the curator of SPS Museum, and Librarian of Maharaja Hari Singh's private library. Political administration
He was appointed to the post of Chief Secretary in 1934, followed by Inspector General of Customs & Excise in 1935.In 1938, he was inducted as the "Political Advisor" to the Maharaja, and then as the Minister of Military Affairs in 1941. He held the role of "minister-in-waiting" for the Maharaja Hari Singh during 1942–1945. He served as the prime minister of Jammu and Kashmir from June 1945 until 11 August 1947, during the key

 transitional period when the British were preparing for departure from India. 1946
In 1946, as the National Conference (NC) began the Quit Kashmir movement against the Maharaja, Kak declared martial law and had all leaders arrested on 20 May. Sheikh Abdullah was soon sentenced to imprisonment for three years. Jawaharlal Nehru attempted to appear as his defence counsel but his entry to Srinagar was blocked by Kak on 21 July. Kak remained defiant despite multiple Congress leaders requesting him to have Abdullah released.<mask>, in an unpublished note on the accession-disputes, claims to have been ill-disposed to these pleas because the Indian National Congress (INC) had lent its "great weight of authority" to Abdullah's misplaced agitation; INC is castigated for publishing "highly coloured, inaccurate and vituperative statements" and passing resolutions against the Maharaja's government. These unfavorable views about INC would guide his (and Maharaja's) decision to not accede to India —rather than any fundamental objection to the accession itself—, next month. In late July, <mask> met with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel —who was to become the home minister of the Interim Government of India— but discussions did not get very far. Patel advised that Sheikh Abdullah be released from prison and steps taken to improve relations between the ruler and the people much to the displeasure of <mask>, who rejected Patel's authority and jurisdiction. Patel took offence at what he called the "cold, official touch-me-not attitude" and rejected supporting any plan involving complete independence for Kashmir. <mask>'s initiative having ended in failure, the British Resident in Kashmir reported in November that Kashmir was likely to stay out of the Indian Union. The cited reason was "antagonism [...] displayed by a Congress Central Government".1947
After the Partition of India was decided in June 1947, the decision on accession became imminent. Lord Mountbatten visited Kashmir in June (19–23 June) and coaxed the Maharaja as well as <mask> to make a decision

 while guaranteeing the continuance of constitutional monarchy; on being asked by Kak about the "right choice", he implicitly hinted in favor of Pakistan. However, accession to Pakistan did not appeal to them — <mask>'s final position was that "since Kashmir would not accede to Pakistan, it could not accede to India". He advised the Maharaja that Kashmir should remain independent for at least a year, when the issue of accession could be considered. <mask> met the leaders of INC and Muslim League in New Delhi in July. Jinnah told him that Kashmir could hope to get far better terms if it acceded immediately rather than later, but <mask> stood by his earlier position. Jinnah did not mind as long as it did not accede to India.Kak also met V. P. Menon, the secretary in charge of princely states for India, and claim to have convinced him about Kashmir's reasons for not acceding; India was also apparently requested to help with the state's 'security arrangements'. In contrast, Menon held Kak's replies to be evasive and noted that "he could neither understand the man [Kak] nor fathom his game". General Henry Scott, the Chief of Staff of State Forces, in his last report opined that Kak favored independence but closer ties with Pakistan. On 1 August 1947, Gandhi visited Kashmir and pointed out to Kak how unpopular he was among the people and, in response, Kak had offered to resign. However, the Maharaja —who was increasingly against joining Pakistan due to a variety of reasons and trying to repair relationships with INC— is believed to have already decided, a few weeks earlier, to dismiss Kak for being an impediment in the process, and declare general amnesty to political prisoners. Dismissal
<mask> was dismissed as Prime Minister on 11 August 1947 in open-court and put under house arrest; he was replaced with Janak Singh. All senior officials such as the Chief Secretary, the Chief of the Army Staff, the Inspector General of Police were also replaced by less experienced people from the Maharaja's own community, in what Kak would describe as the

 "decapitation" of State administration.According to Scott, the Maharaja acted under influence of the Deputy Prime Minister M L. Batra, a Hindu swami, and the Maharani's brother Nachint Chand, all of whom wanted Kashmir to join India at the earliest. He returned to the Maharaja's service a few weeks later, though not as the prime minister. On September 14, Singh informed Kak about mounting an official enquiry on 24 September; Kak declined to participate. On 16 September, Kak attempted to leave the state along with his family, having arranged a flight with help from Scott. But his departure was blocked by the Maharaja, and he was put under house arrest. With General Scott's support, his family was allowed to leave on 22 September. Trial
After the tribal invasion in October, the Maharaja had moved to Jammu and finally released Sheikh Adbdullah, who was appointed as the Head of Emergency Administration in Srinagar.Kak's detention was continued and he was moved to the Badami Bagh. <mask>'s wife, <mask>, lobbied with the Mountbattens arguing for Kak's release and even Stafford Cripps in London raised it with Jawaharlal Nehru. Sheikh Abdullah's administration maintained that they had evidence that Kak was hobnobbing with the Pakistani raiders and agents. In his autobiography, Sheikh Abdullah would praise Kak for maintaining good relations with the ruling circles in Pakistan — he noted that Kak had assessed that as a Muslim majority state, Kashmir was bound to accede to Pakistan and prepared to be in its service. Kak was tied to hay-ropes and paraded through the streets, as NC aligned Kashmiris heckled him. In April 1948, he was tried for three criminal offenses — he was acquitted on two counts but convicted of the third, and jailed. He was pardoned (and released), arguably under pressure from Delhi, but on the condition that he may never enter Kashmir without permission of the state.Kak retired from public life, and migrated to Kasauli. On 3 December 1959, the Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court —Syed Murtaza Fazl Ali— voided the

 externment order but rejected his petition to be paid due pension (with arrears) since termination, amounting to Rs. 91466. The court held that the Government had exercised reasonable discretion in withholding pensions from someone, convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude. <mask> returned back to Kashmir, and alternated between Srinagar and Kasauli. Personal life
<mask> <mask> married Janaki Devi (b. 1894) in 1901.They had five sons —Shailendra, Narendra, Brijendra, Surendra, and Khemendra— and a daughter, who died in infancy. They adopted <mask>'s grand-niece Lila. Devi died in 1928, from tuberculosis. In 1935, <mask> married Margaret Mary. Khemendra, a pilot for the Royal Indian Air Force, died in 1945 of a air-crash near Risalpur; this affected <mask> considerably. Academics
<mask> <mask> was in possession of the two complete Sharada script copies of the Nilamata Purana, when a critical edition was being prepared by K. de Vreese. Kak wrote a treatise on Kashmiri archaeology titled Ancient monuments of Kashmir in 1933; Francis Younghusband wrote the foreword to the book.The book focused on the destruction of temples by Muslim rulers to such an extent, that he was compelled by the publisher to expunge certain "irrelevant" passages lest communal harmony was affected; a chapter on political history of Kashmir portrayed the centuries of Islamic rule as "one of unmitigated plunder, barbarism, and iconoclasm." Historian Mridu Rai notes his work to fit into the usual scheme of the State Archaeological Department in privileging Hindus over the Muslims by various direct and indirect means; Ananya Jahanara Kabir reiterates such observations.

<mask> (born Giancarlo Salvestrin, 29 April 1946) is a musician, who had an early solo career in New Zealand and then in Australia. His 1960s and early 1970s songs, "Love, Love, Love", "You Got to Me" and "Reach Out", achieved local chart success in Australia and New Zealand. He launched AC/DC at Chequers on New Year's Eve 1974 and later became a publisher and music producer in Australia. His more recent business ventures include the acquisition of the Peter Lik Publishing Group, founding the Lifestyle Music label distributed by Sony Music Australia, and founding Music Hive, an online streaming service for retailers. Biography
<mask> was born Giancarlo Salvestrin (29 April 1946) in Venice. In 1949 his father, Ernesto, migrated to Australia and in January 1950, at the age of four, <mask> and his mother followed, settling in Griffith, New South Wales. Early career
In 1963 <mask>, under the stage name <mask>, won a talent quest at Skelseys Hotel, singing "Mashed Potato", in the western suburbs of Sydney, which was the beginning of his career in the entertainment business.He was given a regular solo spot at the hotel, where he was approached by guitarist Graham Ford to become the fifth member of a Western Suburbs band, The Inturns. The Inturns were subsequently managed by Eileen Harrigan, the wife of John Harrigan, who owned Surf City in Kings Cross and managed a number of leading "beat" bands in Sydney. The Inturns supported a number of popular local acts, including Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, and Ray Brown & The Whispers as well as headlining at Suzi Wong's The Beach House and Stagecoach venues. <mask> was then offered a six-month resident spot at The

In December 1965 <mask> received news that his father, Ernesto, had a brain tumour and meanwhile <mask> was due to be conscripted into the army to serve in Vietnam. He was due to report to Duntroon military base within days however, following advice from The La De Das guitarist Kevin Borich, he travelled to New Zealand, which had no passport requirement, thereby evading his conscription. Running low on cash in Auckland, he bluffed his way into the Galaxie nightclub, saying he was <mask>, a top performer from Sydney, and would do a guest spot for free entry.In the audience was Eldred Stebbing who managed and recorded Ray Columbus, Max Merritt & The Meteors and the La De Das on his Zodiac label. Stebbing was impressed and ended up managing <mask> encouraging him to change his stage name as there was already a US singer named <mask> (aka "Duke of Earl"). The story is that Stebbing spotted a poster for Pearson's Soap over the singer's shoulder and both agreed with a change in spelling to Pierson. After signing with Stebbing's Zodiac label, temporary accommodation was arranged and Salvestrin (now <mask>) had a regular gig and income. He also appeared regularly with Wellington group, Cheshire Katt. <mask> had success with a Bobby Hebb song, "Love, Love Love"/"Celeste", which become a number one hit on the Radio Hauraki charts in October 1967. This was followed by "You Got To Me"/"Rainy Day in June" which reached number two spot.This was first time anyone had done a cover version of a Neil Diamond song outside of the US – a medal commemorating this was later presented to <mask> by Diamond's manager.

 also released in Australia on the Philips label. In 1968 <mask> released, "Toyland"/"Matchstick in a Whirlpool", which originally recorded by UK group Alan Bown Set featuring Robert Palmer on vocals, which was then followed later that year by "If You Only Loved Me"/"Just One Tender Look", neither of which had the same success as the earlier singles. <mask> was featured in Playdate, Groove and a number of women's magazines, alongside the British and American pop stars of the time. He was working four nights a week, regularly appearing on television and touring with artists including Tommy Adderley, Larry's Rebels, Shane, The Chicks, Simple Image and the La De Das. In 1969 he switched labels to Festival Records releasing "Leaving on a Jet Plane"/"I Ain't No Miracle Worker" and in 1970 a cover of the Four Tops song "Reach Out"/"Oh Sweet Lord", which received airplay in Australia and became a minor chart success over there, reaching No. 12 on the Sydney charts.Returning to Australia
During the recording of an album with producer and blind keyboard player Claude Papesch, <mask> learned of his father's death and returned to Australia for the funeral. He quickly leveraged his New Zealand success, signing with Festival Records and releasing a psychedelic make-over of the Four Tops song "Reach Out", backed by New Zealand's Simple Image who were resident in Sydney at the time. However, a long-standing disagreement between radio stations and record labels put an end to the song's journey up the charts. Record companies were refusing to supply free new release records unless radio stations agreed to pay a new royalty, resulting in a six-month radio ban on

 airplay for Australian and British recordings released by major labels. As part of his contract <mask> released "See My Way"/"Teach Me How To Fly" on the Infinity label in 1970, followed in 1971 by "Story"/"Bye Bye Love" and "Come on In"/"The Only Living Boy in New York". He then ended his contract with Festival and went on to co-host the nationwide weekly pop gossip programme the Today Show with Bruce Webster and Patty Lovell, which led to the first video music TV show on Channel 7 called Sounds. The same year, he also hosted his own weekly segment, Today Pop, on Channel 7’s Today Show and wrote for Go-Set pop paper.For the publication he covered Elton John's first concert at the Troubador in Los Angeles, interviewed musicians Lou Rawls and Tina Turner, and promoted his version of "The Only Living Boy in New York", taking guest spots on the casino circuit in Los Angeles and San Francisco and appearing on Metro Media TV. Record production
<mask> discovered there was an upside to the 1970 music ban that so harshly impacted local artists recording their own material. Australian acts could still cover versions of British hits that might otherwise be ignored. To capitalise on that loophole he formed Chart Records which released a number of songs, including a cover by Sydney band, Autumn of Christie's "Yellow River", and their collaboration with Dave Allenby of Edison Lighthouse's  "She Works in A Woman's Way", which both reached the top ten on the local music charts. Also achieving chart success was a re-release of his earlier single, "Love, Love, Love", which reached No. 38 on the Go-Set Australian National Charts in May 1970. Concurrently <mask>

Comedy recordings
Early in the 1980s <mask>, was inspired to delve into the relatively untapped comedy market after meeting Englishman Roy Nicolson in 1982, who was the songwriter for Toto Coelo's "I Eat Cannibals", which reached No. 4 on the Australian singles charts and No. 2 on the New Zealand singles charts.Nicolson had begun experimenting with animal sounds on an E-mu Emulator I, an early sampler. <mask> jokingly asked him if he could play "Paperback Writer" using dogs barking. He did and soon <mask> had commissioned him to create a parody album of popular Beatles songs with dogs plus a backing chorus of cows, sheep and chooks backed by anonymous backing musicians from Germany.

texts:
<mask>, FBA (March 15, 1918 – May 13, 1987) was an American literary critic and biographer of the Irish writers James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and William Butler Yeats. He won the U.S. National Book Award for Nonfiction for James Joyce (1959), which is one of the most acclaimed literary biographies of the 20th century. Its 1982 revised edition was similarly recognised with the award of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Ellmann was a liberal humanist, and his academic work focused on the major modernist writers of the twentieth century. <mask> was born in Highland Park, Michigan, the second of three sons of James Isaac Ellman, a lawyer, and his wife Jeanette (née Barsook). His father was a Romanian Jew and his mother was a Ukrainian Jew from Kiev. Ellmann served in the United States Navy and Office of Strategic Services during World War II.He studied at Yale University, receiving his B.A. in 1939, his M.A. in 1941, and his PhD (for which he won the John Addison Porter Prize) in 1947. In 1947, he was awarded a B.Litt degree (an earlier form of the M.Litt) from the University of Dublin (Trinity College), where he was resident while researching his biography of Yeats. As a Yale undergraduate at Jonathan Edwards College, Ellmann was a member of Phi Beta Kappa (scholastic honor society); Chi Delta Theta (literary honor society); and, with James Jesus Angleton, a member of the Executive Editorial Board of the Yale Literary Magazine. He achieved "Scholar of the Second Rank" (current equivalent: magna cum laude). The 1939 Yale Banner undergraduate yearbook published an untitled Ellmann account (similar in concept and style to Oscar Wilde's parables which Ellmann later cited in his 1987 biography Oscar Wilde) of a chagrined Joseph, husband of Mary, and Jesus Christ's custodial father:

Yeats
In Yeats: The Man and the Masks, Ellmann drew on conversations with George Yeats along with thousands of pages of unpublished manuscripts to write a critical examination of the poet's life. Joyce
Ellmann is perhaps most well known for his literary biography of James Joyce, a revealing account of the life of one of the 20th century's most influential literary figures.Anthony Burgess called James Joyce "the greatest literary biography of the century." Edna O'Brien, the Irish novelist, remarked that "H. G. Wells said that Finnegans Wake was an immense riddle, and people find it too difficult to read. I have yet to meet anyone who has read and digested the whole of it—except perhaps my friend <mask>n." Ellmann quotes extensively from Finnegans Wake as epigraphs in his biography of Joyce. Wilde
Ellman's biography Oscar Wilde won a Pulitzer Prize. In it he examined Wilde's ascent to literary prominence and his public downfall. Posthumously Ellmann won both a U.S. National Book Critics Circle Award in 1988 and the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.The book was the basis for the 1997 film Wilde, directed by Brian Gilbert. It is considered to be the definitive work on the subject. Ray Monk, a philosopher and biographer, described Ellmann's Oscar Wilde as a "rich, fascinating biography that succeeds in understanding another person". The <mask> Lectures

<mask> (born 1951) is a criminologist, former higher education manager and consultant. He was Vice-Chancellor of Thames Valley University in the 1990s. Background
<mask> grew up on Merseyside. He attended Catholic grammar school in Crosby, Merseyside and gained entry to the University of Cambridge to read Social Sciences, graduating in the early 1970s. In 1977 he was awarded a PhD by the University of Leicester for Prisoners in Revolt a study which looked at the attempt by the organisation Preservation of the Rights of Prisoners to organise prisoners into a union. Scholarly work
<mask> began an academic career in the 1970s at Leicester University sociology department as a tutorial assistant for two years. In 1975, he went to the Open University, as a lecturer in Social Policy.He helped build the social sciences faculty into one of the best in the UK, persuading Stuart Hall and other well known sociologists to take up posts there. He was involved in the OU's innovative teaching modes and joint publications. He was expert in the sociology of prisons and policing in Britain and internationally, publishing several books on these topics

Academic management, and Thames Valley University

<mask> latterly became Dean and Director of Studies in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Open University, then left in 1987/8 to become Deputy Director for Academic Development at Coventry Polytechnic. He was appointed Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Thames Valley University (TVU) in 1991, at 41 years of age the youngest VC in Britain. TVU had been a college of higher education, then became a polytechnic and quickly applied for and received full university status. His personal characteristics came to define the image and policies of the new university. He was known for his

texts: flamboyant style, sporting an earring, peroxide hair, Armani suits and drove a car with an M4TVU numberplate.His office had no desk, but a sofa and a jukebox. He was the first person ever to use a swearword on the front page of Times Higher Education in 1996. He was elected vice chair of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals in 1996. "At 45 he believes he is the youngest vice chancellor, but after five years at TVU – seeing it through a transformation from institute of higher education to polytechnic to university – he is far from the least experienced. Peer respect for the sharp mind behind a laddish exterior was signalled last week when the CVCP council chose him as vice chair in succession to David Melville of Middlesex University." <mask> was a passionate advocate for widening participation in higher education. In the mid-1990s, less than a third of eighteen-year-olds went into UK higher education.<mask> used his experience at the Open University and in the polytechnic sector to create a new learning environment to support and sustain a mass system of higher education. As he had experienced at Cambridge and learnt at the Open University, assessment was a key vehicle for teaching itself, and so he argued for continuous, student-driven learning. He envisaged a  "student driven university" led by a "New Learning Environment", which sought to use new media along with some traditional teaching, and whose learning outcomes were career-driven rather than classically academic and disciplinary in nature. He said: "Just as you need students to be active learners, so you need teachers to be active tutors. A lecture-driven model renders both teachers and learners passive." "...education is something you do; it's not something that happens to you. It is an active

Though such courses are now commonplace, at the time they were held up as examples of  "dumbing down" and lowering of standards. <mask>'s changes, while prescient in many ways, were instituted rapidly. They were opposed by the staff union of TVU because they led to negative terms and conditions for employees, and poorer and rapidly changing conditions for academics. There were only two years during his tenure that no industrial action was held. He was frustrated that some academic staff were not on board with his vision of a "New Learning Environment". Poor relations with some of the teaching staff, combined with the very rapid pace of change and reliance on new computer technologies, created the greatest problems for his management.A scandal over low pass marks for resit exam candidates was quickly redressed by <mask> in October 1997. He also called in  the Quality Assurance Agency. The industrial disputes with staff clearly had a negative impact on meeting marking deadlines, and thus on student progression. The QAA report gave negative evaluations of TVU's academic standards in many areas – registration, timetabling, validation, student support and assessment systems. The report said "The University chose to implement this vision of a New Learning Environment at the same time as it completely recast the underpinning academic-related administration. As we believe might have been anticipated, this subjected the institution, its staff and its systems, to stresses which it was not able to bear." Despite widespread suspicion that the QAA had

Her marriage to <mask> also produced a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Thomas Jr. When <mask> and Thomas had been married for just over 10 years, the family moved from Kentucky to western Perry County, Indiana, in 1816. When Spencer County was formed in 1818, the Lincoln Homestead lay within its current boundaries. <mask> died from milk sickness or consumption at the Little Pigeon Creek Community in Spencer County when Abraham was nine years old. Biography

This article reflects the prevailing theories regarding <mask>'s heritage. There is information, however, published about the Shipley and Berry family and for Kentucky heritage sites that differs from the prevailing theory.This is explored in greater detail in the <mask> <mask> heritage article. Early life and education

<mask> was born to Lucy Hanks in what was at that time part of Hampshire County, Virginia. Today, the same location is in Antioch in Mineral County, West Virginia. <mask>'s law partner William Herndon reported that <mask> told him that his maternal grandfather was "a well-bred Virginia farmer or planter." According to William E. Barton in The Life of <mask> and Michael Burkhimer in 100 Essential Lincoln Books, <mask> was most likely born illegitimate and her family created stories to lead Abraham to believe he was a legitimate member of the Sparrow family. It is believed that <mask>' grandparents were Ann and Joseph Hanks and that they raised her from infancy until her grandfather died when she was about nine years old. At the time of <mask>'s birth, Joseph and his wife and children were all living on 108 acres near Patterson Creek in then-Hampshire County, Virginia.In March 1784, Joseph Hanks sold his property via a mortgage and moved his wife, eight children and

The family lived on land along Pottinger's Creek, in a settlement called Rolling Fork in Nelson County, Kentucky, until patriarch Joseph's death in 1793. <mask>'s grandmother, who was called by the more formal name Ann rather than the common nickname of <mask>, decided to return to her homeland, Farnham parish in Virginia. At that time, <mask> went to live with her mother, now Lucy Hanks Sparrow, having married Henry Sparrow in Harrodsburg, Kentucky two or three years earlier. After Lucy's sister Elizabeth Hanks married Henry Sparrow's brother Thomas in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1796, <mask> went to live with the couple, whom she called mother and father. She was known as <mask> and was described as "intelligent, deeply religious, kindly and affectionate." Lucy's sister gave birth to an illegitimate son in 1799 named Dennis Friend Hanks, who was also raised by Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow.At the home of Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow, <mask> would have learned the skills and crafts a woman needed on the frontier to cultivate crops and clothe and feed her family. She learned to read the Bible and became an excellent seamstress, working at the Richard Berry home before her marriage. Lucy's marriage to Henry Sparrow produced eight children, and Lucy had a reputation as a "fine Christian woman." Two sons were loyal to the Union during the Civil War and were preachers. Timeline of events and relationships

Marriage and family

On June 12, 1806, Hanks married <mask> at Beechland, the home of Richard Berry, by Reverend Jesse Head. <mask> was brought to the home to work as a seamstress by her friend Polly Ewing Berry, the wife of Richard Berry Jr. since October 10, 1794. Polly was a friend of <mask>'s from Mercer County, Kentucky, and Richard Berry Jr. was a good friend of

 <mask>.<mask> proposed to her in his childhood home at what is now Lincoln Homestead State Park or in the Francis Berry house in front of the fireplace. <mask>'s marriage bond was signed by Richard Berry Jr., who identified himself as her guardian. Per Warren, "The title had no legal significance, Berry having never been so appointed, and <mask> was then of age. But to him to call himself 'guardian' was a courtesy customary under such circumstances [no father able to sign the marriage bond]." A record of their marriage license is held at the county courthouse. They had three children:
<mask> (February 10, 1807 – January 20, 1828)
<mask> (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)
<mask> Jr. (died in infancy, 1812)

The young family lived in what was then Hardin County, Kentucky, (now LaRue) on the Knob Creek Farm. Neighbors reported that <mask> <mask> was "superior" to her husband, a mild yet strong personality who taught young Abraham his letters as well as the extraordinary sweetness and forbearance for which he was known.In 1816, the year that Indiana became the 19th state, the <mask> family moved to Spencer County in southern Indiana and proceeded to homestead at Little Pigeon Creek Settlement (now Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial). Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow and Dennis Hanks settled at Little Pigeon Creek the following fall, having lived in a shelter in which the <mask>s had lived until they built their cabin. While Abraham was ten years younger than his second cousin Dennis, the boys were good friends. Description

William Herndon, author of Life of Lincoln, describes <mask> <mask>:
She was above the ordinary height in stature, weighed about 130 pounds, was slenderly built, and had much the appearance of one inclined to consumption. Her skin was dark; hair dark brown; eyes gray and small; forehead prominent; face

 sharp and angular, with a marked expression for melancholy which fixed itself in the memory of all who ever saw or knew her. Though her life was clouded by a spirit of sadness, she was in disposition amiable and generally cheerful. <mask> was also described as "a bold, reckless, daredevil kind of woman, stepping on to the very verge of propriety."<mask> inherited his mother's appearance and manner. She was "mild, tender, and intellectually inclined." Death

While living at Little Pigeon Creek Settlement, <mask> <mask> died on October 5, 1818, age 34. Her nine-year-old son Abraham assisted his father in the making of her coffin by whittling the wooden pegs that held the planks together. Eleven-year-old Sarah cared for Abraham until their father remarried the next year. There are two views as to the cause of <mask> <mask>'s death. One view is that she died of "milk sickness."Several people had died that fall from the illness, including Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow, who raised her and then lived with her on the Lincolns' property at the Little Pigeon Creek settlement. The Sparrows died in September, weeks before <mask>'s death, and Dennis moved in with the Lincolns. The illness was caused by drinking the milk or eating the meat of cows that had eaten white snakeroot. The plant contains the potent toxin tremetol, which is passed through the milk. The migrants from the East were unfamiliar with the Midwestern plant and its effects. In the 19th century before people understood the cause of the illness, thousands in the Midwest died of milk sickness. The second view is that <mask> died of consumption.In 1870 <mask>'s law partner and biographer, William Herndon, wrote to fellow <mask> biographer Ward Lamon saying that "Mrs. <mask> died as said by some with the milk sickness, some with a galloping quick consumption",

 wasting disease or tuberculosis. It has also been theorized that <mask> had a marfanoid body habitus (or a marfanoid type of physique) with the same unusual facial features as her son. This theory suggests that she died of cancer (which is a wasting disease) related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b (MEN2B), and that she passed the gene for this syndrome to her son (see Medical and mental health of <mask>). <mask>'s grave is located in what has been named the Pioneer Cemetery, also known as the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Cemetery. Her headstone was purchased by P. E. Studebaker, an industrialist from South Bend, in 1878. At least 20 unmarked and eight marked graves are at the site; <mask> is buried next to <mask> Brooner, a neighbor who died a week before <mask> from milk sickness.Henry Brooner, <mask>'s son and best childhood friend of <mask>, later recalled, "I remember very distinctly that when Mrs. <mask>'s grave was filled, my father, Peter Brooner, extended his hand to <mask> and said, 'We are brothers now', meaning that they were brothers in the same kind of sorrow. The bodies of my mother and Mrs. <mask> were conveyed to their graves on sleds." Her aunt and uncle Elizabeth (Hanks) and Thomas Sparrow, also her childhood caregivers, are buried nearby. The cemetery is located on the grounds of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, a National Historic Landmark District managed by the National Park Service in present-day Lincoln City, Indiana. Honors

In 1941, Katherine K. Davis, who co-wrote the lyrics to "The Little Drummer Boy", wrote the music for the ballad "Nancy Hanks" as a tribute to <mask>'s mother. The song uses as its lyrics the Rosemary Benét poem "<mask>s" (originally published in Stephen Vincent Benét's A Book of Americans).

He is a keen follower and a teacher of Stanislavsky and Michael Chekhov technique, and believes that the actor should be in a constant state of "play". He stresses the necessity of creating a gap between the actor and the character, and is a strong opponent of the use of affective memory on stage. His directing style is based on Stanislavsky's principle of "layering" actions: psychological, physical, and verbal. His work is often regarded as physical theater with mesmerizing atmospheres, although he has dismissed the claim in an interview, "It's not physical theater. It's our theater. We create theater we want to see."His signature staging of the short stories by Anton Chekhov created a sensation in the New York theater scene. He tends to create visually compelling, colorful performances, usually presented at unique spaces not typically used for theater performances. <mask>'s sold-out run of "Uncle Vanya" was staged on the second floor of the historic Stanton Street Shul. His most recent production of "Avenue of Wonder" re-inaugurated the Balcony Theater at West Park Presbyterian Church, which was the original home to the Riverside Shakespeare Company and one of Joe Papp's earliest venues.

<mask> (August 30, 1814 – May 3, 1882) was an American educator, attorney, politician and diplomat active primarily in the second half of the 19th century. Initially elected to the House of Representatives from Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District for the term commencing on March 4, 1857, <mask>, an ardent Union supporter and later abolitionist, became one of the few Southern congressmen to maintain his seat in the House during the Civil War. Toward the end of the war, <mask> served as Tennessee's attorney general under Governor Andrew Johnson, and later served as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire under President Ulysses S. Grant and Postmaster General under President Rutherford B. Hayes. <mask> left his teaching position at East Tennessee College in the early 1840s to pursue a career in law, and quickly developed a reputation among his peers for his reasoning ability and biting sarcastic style. He spent much of his first two terms in Congress fighting to preserve the Union, and during the Civil War, he consistently urged President Abraham Lincoln to send Union forces to free East Tennessee from its Confederate occupiers. <mask> returned to Congress after the war, but being a Republican in a Democrat-controlled state, he struggled in statewide elections. Biography

 Knoxville, Tennessee, where he accepted a position as a professor at East Tennessee College (now the University of Tennessee). He initially taught in the university's preparatory (high school) department, but in 1841 he became a college-level teacher of mathematics and ancient languages. <mask> was initially disenchanted with Knoxville, which he considered backward and unsophisticated, and contemplated leaving Tennessee. After he was admitted to the bar in 1844, however, he found a niche arguing cases in local courts, and decided to make the city his permanent home. Knoxville attorney Oliver Perry Temple (1820–1907), a colleague of <mask>, described <mask> as "abrupt and unamiable, and often offensive in his manners, snapping up men without hesitation." This style agitated <mask>'s peers, but at the same time gained their respect.Early congressional terms

When <mask> first ran for Congress in 1852, he was ruthlessly attacked in local newspapers, and was defeated by William Churchwell. In 1856, with the Knoxville Whig backing his campaign, he captured the 2nd District's congressional seat. In his 1858 reelection campaign, <mask> easily defeated fellow attorney J. C. Ramsey, winning 67% of the vote. <mask> initially supported the Whig Party, and served as a presidential elector in 1852. After the collapse of the Whig Party, he ran for Congress on the American, Opposition and Unionist party tickets for congressional terms beginning in 1857, 1859, and 1861, respectively. Secession crisis and views on slavery

 East Tennessee Unionists. During the 1830s, <mask>, the son of an abolitionist, found slavery contemptible, calling it "a curse to the country."By 1850, however, <mask> was defending the practice of slavery in letters to his father, arguing there was a "bright as well as a dark side to slavery." In 1860, <mask> had previously owned four slaves, and while he opposed secession as a congressman, he nevertheless defended slavery. Near the end of the Civil War, <mask> shifted once again to an abolitionist viewpoint on slavery, and supported Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Along with fellow Unionists Andrew Johnson, T. A. R. Nelson, and William G. Brownlow, <mask> worked feverishly to keep Tennessee in the Union amidst the secession crisis of 1860 and 1861. In the weeks leading up to the state's June 8 referendum on secession, <mask> travelled across East Tennessee, giving dozens of pro-Union speeches. <mask> was also a member of the Knox County delegation to the pro-Union East Tennessee Convention, which sought to create a separate Union-aligned state in East Tennessee. Civil War

After the East Tennessee Union Convention adjourned in June 1861, <mask> headed for Washington, D.C. to take his seat in Congress.When Confederate forces occupied East Tennessee later that year, <mask> consistently pleaded with Lincoln to send troops to free the region, warning that East Tennesseans' "tears and blood will be a blot on your administration that time can never efface." In December 1861, <mask> blasted General George H. Thomas for balking at an invasion of the region in the wake of so-called

 bridge-burning conspiracy, calling his efforts "disgraceful." Later that month, General George B. McClellan wrote to General Don Carlos Buell:

Johnson, <mask>, etc., are again becoming frantic, and have President Lincoln's sympathy excited. Political considerations would make it advisable to get the arms and troops into Eastern Tennessee at a very early day ... In spite of <mask>'s efforts, Union troops did not enter Knoxville until September 1863. By the time <mask> returned to the city, a rift had developed among East Tennessee's Unionists between those who supported the Emancipation Proclamation (led by <mask> and Brownlow) and those who simply sought a return to the pre-war status quo (led by Nelson and Knoxville mayor James C. Luttrell). In 1864, <mask> was appointed Tennessee's attorney general by Andrew Johnson, who had been installed as the state's military governor.Postwar activities

<mask> attended the National Union Convention in 1866 and was elected to the 39th Congress as an Unconditional Unionist the same year following the readmission of Tennessee into the Union. He then served in the 40th, 41st, 42nd and 43rd Congresses as a Republican. During the 43rd Congress he acted as chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Banking and Currency. In 1868, while serving in Congress, <mask> was appointed to the Tennessee Supreme Court by Governor Brownlow to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Samuel Milligan. <mask> held both offices simultaneously, but his right to do so was challenged in Calloway v. Strum, 48 Tennessee (1 Heiskell), 764. The court in that case held that

All 24 from Tennessee, and 1 each from Alabama and Mississippi. <mask> reached the height of his political career in 1873 when he defeated both former President Andrew Johnson and popular West Tennessee politician Benjamin F. Cheatham in the race for Tennessee's at-large congressional district. The following year, he ran for Governor of Tennessee as a Republican, but lost to James D. Porter. He was appointed Minister to Turkey and served from 1875 to 1880 in that post. He was appointed United States Postmaster General in the Cabinet of President Rutherford B. Hayes and served from June 2, 1880 to March 5, 1881. <mask> died suddenly from heart disease in Knoxville in 1882, and was buried in Knoxville's Old Gray Cemetery.Legacy

<mask> was remembered among his peers for his powerful intellect and sense of persuasiveness. Knoxville Journal editor William Rule wrote that <mask> was the "best read man" of East Tennessee's lawyers, while abolitionist Frederick Douglass once remarked that <mask> had a "three story head." Knoxville mayor Peter Staub (a Democrat) said that even though he disliked <mask>, he was so impressed with <mask>'s reasoning and rhetoric

 that he voted for him twice. Oliver Perry Temple wrote of <mask>: "Many were the persons he stung and wounded by his biting sarcasm or pungent wit." Humorist George Washington Harris mocked <mask> ("Stilyards") in his story, "The Widow McCloud's Mare." During the 1850s, Knox County attempted to sue the newly formed Union County, Tennessee, out of existence. <mask> successfully represented Union County, and in return, the county named its county seat, Maynardville, in his honor.Horace <mask> High School served the county from 1923 until 1997, when it became a middle school. During the Spanish–American War, the USS Nashville, commanded by <mask>'s son, Washburn, fired the war's first American shot. Another son, James, was president of the Knoxville-based Brookside Mills in the early 1900s. References and notes
