George Ord - George Ord George Ord (1781 – January 24, 1866) was an American ornithologist. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was a rope maker and Ord joined him in the business, continuing after his father’s death in 1806. In 1829 he retired from the business so that he could devote more time to science. In 1815 he became a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and two years later became a member of the American Philosophical Society. He went on to hold important positions in both. Ord received several of the specimens brought back by Lewis and Clark for description, including the Grizzly Bear and the American Bighorn Sheep.

Expanded Universe (Star Wars) - analogies to our reality. It wasn't until West End Games started publishing material for the Star Wars roleplaying game that the EU really began to be fleshed out. A turning point The EU was by in large not very successful in its early years. Many readers were turned off by the apparent lack of consistency of it all. It wasn't until Timothy Zahn wrote Heir to the Empire in the early 90s that it really began to catch on. Heir to the Empire was the first book in Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy and it sparked a revolution in Star Wars literature. After Zahn followed numerous Star Wars novels, most being well received. Feedback It seems that elements of the expanded universe influenced George Lucas in the writing of the Star War prequels,.

Alexander Wilson - publish a book illustrating all the North American birds. With this in mind he travelled widely, watching and painting birds and collecting subscribers for his book. The result was the nine-volume American Ornithology (1808-1814), illustrating 268 species of birds, 26 of which had not previously been described. He died during the writing of the ninth volume, which was completed and published after his death by his friend George Ord. Wilson is now regarded as the greatest American ornithologist prior to Audubon. It was his meeting with Audubon in Louisville in 1810 which probably inspired the younger man to produce a book of his own bird illustrations..

The Siege of Vicksburg - to do the same thing, it was March 1865, and too late. Confederates were reported as having simply murdered surrendering black troops at Milliken's Bend, angry at the arming of former slaves; this disgrace also happened at Fort Pillow, Poison Spring, and The Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg. The Confederates begin to lose heart The loss at Milliken's Bend left the rebels with no hope for relief but from the cautious Johnston. Opinion within Vicksburg passed from "Johnston is coming!" to "where is Johnston?" The Confederates had a position of fantastic natural strength and interior lines, but Grant's three-to-one plurality in numbers had them in a chokehold. Robert E. Lee had observed that the climate in June would defeat the Union attack. All through June, the Union.

Jane Parker, Lady Rochford - Alice St. John, both from old English families with Roman Catholic tendencies. She was born in Norfolk, England. She married George Boleyn, brother of Anne Boleyn, later the second queen of King Henry VIII. Jane's marriage to George Boleyn was not a happy one, which may have prompted her to testify against her husband at the trial of her sister-in-law. It's sometimes alleged that it was she who accused her husband and the Queen of incest, however the only evidence suggests that her involvement was only to admit that George had discussed Henry's impotence with Anne. It is thought that George may, however have been homosexual, and that this may have been the cause of her unhappy marriage. Following his execution, Jane Parker was later given a placement in the household.

In 1944, having retaken the Katyn area, the Soviets exhumed the bodies again. That same year, President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt assigned Captain George Earle, his special emissary to the Balkans, to compile information on Katyn. Earle did so, using contacts in Bulgaria and Romania. Earle too concluded that the Soviet Union was guilty. FDR rejected that conclusion, saying that he was convinced of Nazi Germany's responsibility, and ordered Earle's report suppressed. When Earle formally requested permission to publish his findings, the President gave him a written order to desist. Earle was reassigned and spent the rest of the war in.
