BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL
THE PINERY STATION
BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL
First Overland mail route from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco, California.
As a forerunner of the pony express and transcontinental railroad, the Butterfield Overland Mail was the first successful attempt to link East and West with a reliable transportation and communication system. Much of the route in this part of the country followed the well-defined path of thousands of emigrants and gold-seekers traveling westward during the previous decade. The arduous 2,700-mile wilderness journey between St. Louis and San Francisco was always completed within 25 days as stipulated in John Butterfield's federal mail contract.
The six-year federal mail contract awarded to John Butterfield, a wealthy and popular businessman, was cut short by the onset of the Civil War in 1861, get the Butterfield Overland mail was heralded by some as one of the "greatest events of the age."
"Remember, boys, nothing on God's earth must stop the United States mail!"
-John Butterfield's instructions to his drivers.
THE PINERY STATION
Pinery Station, named for the surrounding stands of pine, as the distinction of being the only ruin of an original company built, Butterfield Station standing in close proximity to a national highway. At 5,700 feet in elevation, it was also the highest, and was especially attractive because of its excellent grazing land and dependable water sources.
Butterfield stations were located in an average of 20 miles apart. For eleven months from September 1858 to August 1859, coaches regularly stopped here for water, food, rest, fresh mule teams, and protection. Drivers and passengers kept company with the station-keeper, cooks, blacksmith, freighters, gold seekers, adventurers, and settlers. Long after the station was abandoned for more adequately protected route designed to better serve a chain of forts further south, the limestone walls continue to provide refuge for freighters, soldiers, drovers, outlaws, and emigrants.
THE CELERITY COACH
Speed was imperative; a Celerity coach travel day and night averaging 120 miles a day carrying up to nine passengers, essential baggage, and 12,000 letters. Six horses or mules pulled each coach. These coaches, similar to what were later known as mud wagons due to their low center of gravity, were well adapted to the rough mountains and desert country. They were either painted or varnished red or dark bottle green. Wire pattern candle lamps provided light inside the leather line coaches. One hundred of these wagons were built in 1857, at a cost of $1,500 each and placed in the Butterfield Overland mail service in 1858.

The forerunner to the current building was constructed in 1859 as the main building for the East Alabama College. It burned in 1887 and the current Samford Hall was constructed on the site. The current name was applied in 1929 for William James Samford, an AU alum, US Senator and AL governor.
This is the administration building for Auburn University. It is the centerpiece for graduation pictures also.
In the 1930s, Beck’s was the forerunner of one of the biggest names in waterfront seafood dining for most of the twentieth century, Hogate’s. Watson Birdsalle Rulon (1904–1984) first went into the seafood business with a small seafood stand in Ocean City, New Jersey, in 1928. Meanwhile, in 1935, the family doctor, John Hogate Whiticar (1887–1969), purchased a former iron foundry building at Ninth Street and Maine Avenue SW on the waterfront and leased it as a restaurant called Beck’s. Beck’s had been an Ocean City, New Jersey seafood eatery, and this became its Washington branch. But Beck’s didn’t last long; in 1938, Whiticar convinced Watson Rulon to take over the restaurant, which Rulon renamed Hogate’s.

The history of Vienna's Christmas market
The assumption, forerunners of the Viennese Christmas market had been held for more than 600 years ago, is not true. In the year 1382, to which these assumptions relate, renewed Duke Albrecht III only the market law of the City of Vienna. This allowed, among other things, the holding of fairs, which took place 14 days before and after Christ's ascension, and 14 days before and after St. Kathrein (November 25). These markets, however, were not related with the celebration of Christmas.
In medieval Vienna, there was no Christmas markets. The urban settlements from this period have no income and expenditure in such a context. The invoices from the 17th Century exist only patchy.
Therefore no reliable date can be specified for the first occurrence of Christmas markets. Records from 1600 show that cabins on the trench (Graben) and on the fire place (Brandstätte), ie before Sankt Stephan, on 9 January have been dismantled and on 16 and 17 December re-erected. This market bore the name "Thomas market". In these stalls Peckn (Baker), gingerbread maker and Zuggerpacher (confectioners) offered their goods. These stands were found around Christmas time in the area Graben - Stephansplatz to the year in 1761. Then, this market was closed.
First mentioned in 1722
Already in 1722 found a on Freyung held "St. Nicholas, Christmas and Nativity market" mention. Since at the same time was a regular market there, conflicts between the state holders of the one and the other market in 1842 led to the tentative relocation of Nicholas and Christmas market on the square Am Hof. This relocation was definitely 1843, each time on the 5th December, the 132 cribs market stalls were set up and remained standing until the New Year.

1872 the old Viennese markets were closed by a decision of the council, as they had lost their original meaning in the modern city. The exception was the Christmas Market. 1903, the 128 stands were renewed and received first electric lighting.
First and Second World War
A difficult time for the now regular "Christkindlmarkt" named event began with the First World War. In 1923 it was held again on the Freyung, 1924-1928 modest extent before the Stephansdom. From 1929 on the Neubaugürtel - above the Hesserdenkmals (Monument) - relocated, the Christmas market came 1938 on the Am Hof square back. During the Christmas time of 1943 once again the Stephansplatz was its location. Then the fast to the city approaching and across moving war prevented its holding. At Christmas 1946, a new start on the square before the Trade Fair Palace was attempted.

Then again held before the Trade Fair Palace, failed in 1963 an attempt to establish the Christkindlmarkt as a counterpart to fasting market in the Kalvarienberggasse in the 17th district. 1975 had to be found an alternative venue because of the construction of the underground car park in front of the Messepalast (trade fair palace). First, temporarily set up at the town hall square, soon the combination of the Christmas market and the "Magic of Advent" in both sides of the adjacent City Hall Park created such a moody atmosphere that this location for years to come seems certain for the Christmas market .

Pinery Station of the Butterfield Overland Mail Route. This stage coach route was established in 1858, a forerunner to the Pony Express and the Trans-Continental Railroad. The route from St. Louis to San Francisco could be completed in 25 days. The 6 year government contract was cut short in 1861 by the Civil War.

From EAA Website:
The EAA Biplane was one the first original designs published by the Experimental Aircraft Association. A popular and successful design in its own right, the EAA Biplane was also the forerunner of EAA’s popular Acro Sport series of aerobatic homebuilts.
In 1955, EAA founder Paul Poberezny was looking for a new design for a sporty-looking, open cockpit biplane for homebuilders. He turned to EAA member Jim D. Stewart to draw up plans for an easy-to-build biplane that would take advantage of up-to-date materials and methods. At the time, Stewart was an aeronautical engineer at the famed Allison Engine Company in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Stewart and three other Allison engineers agreed to design an airplane and draw a set of plans. Initially, they based their design on the Gere biplane, a popular 1930s-era homebuilt, but soon abandoned that route as impractical and created an entirely new design. It used a welded-tube fuselage and wooden wing, with fabric covering, and was powered by a 65-hp Continental engine.
Robert Blacker, and his students at St. Rita’s High School, in Chicago, Illinois, had just finished construction of a Corben Baby Ace homebuilt airplane as a class project. Blacker and his students agreed to build the EAA Biplane prototype as the focus of Blacker’s high school course in aircraft construction. Work began in 1957 and continued at the school through 1960. The students added their own modifications to streamline the airframe, including an enclosed bubble canopy for the cockpit, a pressure cowling for the engine, and streamlined fairings on the wing and strut fittings.
In its first test flights, in June 1960, the airplane did not perform well, and it was returned to the school for modifications. These included a redesigned horizontal stabilizer and the addition of two degrees of incidence in the upper wing. Further test flights in November were much more successful and with a modified cowling to improve engine cooling and a new metal propeller, the airplane performed pretty much as its designers intended.
The EAA Biplane was then moved to EAA headquarters in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, for more modifications and testing. The bubble canopy was removed and replaced with a turtle deck, headrest, and windscreen, as in the original drawings. Paul and other EAA members suggested other changes to improve the airplane, including a larger 85-hp engine, new instrument panel, smaller cockpit opening, redesigned engine and fuselage cowlings, and the addition of a propeller hub spinner. Several EAA members completed these modifications in time to unveil the completed prototype at the 1961 EAA convention at Rockford, Illinois. The plans for the EAA Biplane were updated and offered for sale for $20 with profits dedicated to the EAA Air Education Museum Building Fund.
A Commitment to Young People
Based in part on the success of Blacker’s aviation class projects, Paul chose the EAA Biplane for a new educational program to be called Project Schoolflight. The goal of the program was to introduce young people to aviation through airplane building projects like those at St. Rita’s High School. Such projects, Paul reasoned, would teach a variety of basic, practical skills in woodworking, metal shaping, welding, aircraft rigging, fabric covering, and painting, while introducing students to aviation hobbies and careers. Many schools and EAA members expressed interest in Project Schoolflight, but only a few class projects were ever undertaken, and the program was discontinued in the late 1980s.

This rain was the forerunner of a massive mud-avalanche coming from the woods...
The wave itself ended in about 15 minutes, but it took us (18 men) 6 hours to roughly clean the mess it made...
...and one day later the next storm came and the mud-wave was 5 times bigger...

With a bit of wriggling it is just long enough to remove the watch without removing the strap from one end.
The independent city of Lexington, seat of Rockbridge County in the Shenandoah Valley is one of Virginia's best preserved historic districts. The city was settled in the early years of the Revolutionary War and officially named in 1778 as one of the first places in North America to be named in honor of the first battle of the war for independence. Late-Georgian and Federal styled buildings from the late-18th century are situated among works of Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and the Victorian Era styles to create a unique environment for exploring architectural development in the United States. Lexington is also recognized for its connections to the American Civil War. The city is home to the Virginia Military Institution, established in 1836 and raided by Union General David Hunter on June 12, 1864. Confederate General Stonewall Jackson lived in Lexington while serving as a professor at the institute. After the Civil War, Confederate General Robert E. Lee moved to Lexington to assume the presidency of Washington College, a private university originally founded as the Augusta Academy in 1749. Under Lee's five-year tenure of leadership, the school greatly expanded its academic offerings and evolved into the forerunner of a liberal arts institution. After General Lee died in 1870, he was interred in a family vault beneath the chapel on the campus. The school was renamed Washington and Lee in 1870.
Presbyterianism is the oldest-established religion in the Rockbridge/Lexington area, owing to its mostly Scotch-Irish settlers. Lexington Presbyterian Church was organized on April 15, 1789 and its first minister was Rev. William Graham, then also serving as Rector of Liberty Hall Academy (later to become Washington and Lee University). A brick church was erect several blocks from the present church on the site today occupied by Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in 1799. The present church was built in 1845 at the heart of Lexington's downtown. A pure expression of Greek Revival style, Lexington Presbyterian Church was designed by Thomas Walter. Expansions took place in 1895 and 1899, and a parish hall was erected in 1907. A fire destroyed the interior of the church in 2000, but a thorough restoration was completed by 2003, closely following Walter's original designs.
