Published on August 13, 1922, the piece was written by Francis A. Collins and included sketches by noted illustrator Louis M. Glackens. The crux of the article was that New York was a city in danger of losing its history. There were historical ...

    We have a plaster cast of the life mask at Saint Gaudens National Historical Park where I work as a ranger. I use the life mask regularly in my programs. Thanks for filling in a couple of small gaps in my research of the Volk story. Unfortunately, the Google scan is missing 2 pages of the story and some of what is there is fuzzy and hard to read. Come visit us in New Hampshire!

    I think any writer can understand the feeling of being interrupted while holding desperately onto a thought or idea they are attempting to write down before it fades, only to have it snatched away during or after the interruption. I don't know if Coleridge's account is true. But it is quite realistic.

    Currently reading the book right now. And I love the movie. I do think the movie made the right call to streamline the narrative because it does read like a very episodic story almost like you could remake it into an HBO Mini series with each story it's own episode. But can I just say how much it sucks trying to find adult pirate fiction still in print that aren't terrible romance novels?

    A few years after going on display in Grand Central Terminal, the Bremen airplane was transferred to the Smithsonian, where it was displayed in a former WWI army building on the south lawn of the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, D.C., but a few years later, the Bremen was transferred out of the Smithsonian so that they could get more airplanes inside. It’s next destination was the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, where it stayed for another 60 years. In the 1990s, however, an association of aviation enthusiasts from the plane’s namesake of Bremen, Germany, reached an agreement for the Henry Ford Museum to loan them the Bremen on a long-term basis. Today, the Bremen is on display inside the terminal at Bremen Airport, but on its journey back to Bremen inside two German cargo planes, they made a diversion to dip their wings over Greenly Island before heading on their way.

    There was writing well before the Trojan war - Linear B and Linear A before that. You don'r sudenly develop the jewel that is Homeric Greek. Homer left his rapsodies in the cities he visited, surely written. on paper made from palm leaves (phenix) hence Phenician. Not letters by the Phoenitians whom didn't have vowels, hence no alphabet.

    As per the Oracle of Delphi - the most authoritative information center of the ancient Greek world: "Ἕδος δ' Ἰθακησίος ἐστίν, Τηλέμαχος δὲ πατὴρ καὶ Νεστορέη Ἐπικάστη μήτηρ, ἥ μιν ἔτικτε βροτῶν πολὺ πάνσοφον ἄνδρα. Οὗτος ἐγεννήθη φάος τ' ἐς ἀνθρώπους ἤγειρε." Meaning: “He is from Ithaca, Telemachus is his father and Epikaste (Polykaste in the Odyssey) is his mother, of all the mortals they bore the most wise man. He was born enlightened and will bring knowledge to mortals." Telemachus: The son of Odysseus Epikaste: The youngest daughter of Nestor There are at least 15 to 20 mentions by Greek and Roman authors that tell a different story.

    Don Quixote was nothing more than mental health blackface; used as a tool to promote condescending views of dementia or counter-culture lifestyles by caricaturing them in a cartoonish, unrealistic and absurd way to further the idea that those whom do not conform are clueless, feeble and lesser-than. Only pseudo-intellectuals praise that dribble. The current "reinterpretations" of the novel are entirely dishonest and filled with projectionary fluff and invisible faux insights into the human condition.
