41. Electronic Village: Juneteenth...The African American Independence Day! One of general Granger s first orders of business was to read to the people of Texas knowledge and appreciation of African american history and culture. http://www.elecvillage.com/juneteen.htm

June 19th is known in many places as Juneteenth... History of Juneteenth What is Juneteenth? Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the ending of slavery. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger's regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. Later attempts to explain this two and a half year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions that have been handed down through the years. Often told is the story of a messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of freedom. Another, is that the news was deliberately withheld by the slave masters to maintain the labor force on the plantations. And still another, is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. All or neither could be true. For whatever the reason, conditions in Texas remained status quo well beyond what was statutory.

Missiles and Space Index NA-16 Basic Trainer O-47 Observation Monoplane BT-9 Trainer North American Aviation logo We started with an obvious disadvantage.... It couldn’t have been much worse. — Dutch Kindelberger, 1934 During the prosperous, whirling 1920s, aviation was in its childhood. Companies dedicated to airplane manufacturing, engines, propellers, passenger flight and support industries sprouted across the country. On Dec. 6, 1928, North American Aviation was incorporated in Delaware to become a holding company for many of these new ventures. In March 1930, it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. North American Aviation, Inc., had interests in a number of leading airlines and aircraft manufacturing companies including the General Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, located at the Curtis-Caproni plant at Dundalk, Md. As part of the "New Deal" legislation during the Depression, the Air Mail Act of 1934 prevented an organization or its members engaged in any part of the aircraft industry from holding an airmail contract after Dec. 31, 1934. Therefore, North American’s airline interests were separated from its airplane-building concerns, and 39-year-old James Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger became President and General Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft.

Then the past comes alive, or, more accurately, it is revealed for what it has always been - a part of the present. Frederick W. Turner III, 1971 History is the study of the human past. Historians study records of conditions or events of a particular time and place. The United States of America is at once a very new nation and a very old nation. The first settlers - Asian hunters and nomads - reached North America about 30.000 years ago. However, the United States of America did not come into being until 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. The history of the United States is the story of many different peoples who together compose the United States of America. Since the first Europeans arrived in 1492, millions of people from many different countries have entered the United States and made the country their new home. Listed here are resource collections on specific fields of study within American history, specifially African-American and Native American studies.

Rolle Bolles Rolle Bolles are made of a hi-tech hard rubber substance that is virtually indestructible. The bolles are shaped like a small wheel that is beveled on one edge causing it to roll on the path of an arc. The size of a bolle ranges from a minimum of six inches to a maximum of eight inches in diameter and weighs a maximum of eight and a half pounds. The bolles are two and a half inches thick. The bolle can be sized and shaped to the bowlers preference as long as it meets the physical characteristics stated earlier. The most common customizations are the diameter and bevel of the bolle. Changing the diameter effects the size and weight of the bolle. Changing the bevel effects the amount of arc and the speed of the bolle. The Game of Rolle Bolle The Benefits of Rolle Bolle - Easy to learn and fun to play. - Provides fun and exercise for people of all ages. - Can be played with any number of people. - Portable and easy to setup. - Can be played almost anywhere. - Opportunity to teach competition and sportsmanship to youngsters. - Promotes social gatherings with friends and relatives.
