Rufus was one of the first persons to propose Statehood for Missouri as Non-Slave State in 1816. Lincoln''s Attorney General Edward Bates moved into Rufus Easton''s home to study law in 1815. Shortly before Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation in 1863, Edward Bates as the U.S. Attorney General had already declared that all Negroes were U.S. citizens. It was Bates who demanded equal pay for the Negro soldiers, whom fought so valiantly for the Union. Only a year after the Civil War, in July 1866 Edward Bates wrote of Rufus Easton: "Easton was a wiser man than he passed for, and a better man than his adversaries chose to admit. All acknowledged his professional ability as compared with his associates, but many failed to give him the credit he deserved for his personal virtues. He was certainly the best-read lawyer of the Missouri bar in his day, the regular training of his youth and the indefatigable industry of his riper years, made him always, a formidable adversary and generally a case - gaining advocate he still lives in my memory with respect and gratitude." In 1805 Rufus Easton refused to partake in Burr''s Conspiracy in which General James Wilkinson was a major player. Besides being the first postmaster Easton was also appointed by President Thomas Jefferson, Judge of the Louisiana Territory. As Judge of the territory Rufus Easton held jurisdiction over the largest land mast ever throughout the continent including Canada and Central America. The territory was so immense that it stretched from the St. Louis to the Canada border and as one historian expressed it: "westward into seemingly infinity".

Préface de Robert Bellefleur Porte-parole de la Coalition des citoyens et organismes engagés pour la sécurité ferroviaire de Lac-Mégantic Traduction de l’anglais : Geneviève Boulanger et Liette Gilbert La catastrophe ferroviaire survenue le 6 juillet 2013 à Lac-Mégantic est une tragédie sans précédent dans l’histoire canadienne. Elle a causé un grand nombre de morts, des dégâts environnementaux et laissé une petite ville du Québec littéralement éventrée. Pour cela, on a voulu jeter le blâme sur les épaules de trois employés de la Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway, acquittés depuis. Mais qui sont les véritables responsables de cette tragédie? Grâce à une enquête approfondie, l’auteur propose de lever le voile sur ce qui s’est vraiment passé à Lac-Mégantic. Il révélera notamment les rouages d’entreprises ferroviaires et pétrolières directement ou indirectement impliquées, qui n’hésitent pas à tourner les coins ronds ou à écrire leurs propres règles tout en étant appuyées par de puissants lobbys pour parvenir à leurs fins. Il mettra également en lumière l’implication d’un gouvernement canadien aveuglé par l’idéologie du libre marché et obsédé par l’idée de faire du Canada une superpuissance pétrolière, ainsi que celle de bureaucrates complices qui ont failli à leur tâche de protéger l’intérêt public. Au cœur de tout cela, une communauté tricotée serré, déchirée par le drame et luttant pour s’en remettre. Mais heureusement, on y trouve aussi à l’œuvre un processus de guérison, la solidarité, le souci de ne pas oublier et la détermination à reconstruire et à transcender ce drame.

By George: His Haitian Baby Was Not For Papa A detailed examination of de Mohrenschildt''s ties to LBJ and to Texas oilmen are presented in this volume. Not every oilman is covered within this portion. George McGhee, George Bush and C.B. Wrightsman are covered in other volumes, all had ties to de Mohrenschildt and LBJ. In addition, this volume reviews the relationship between Angier Biddle Duke, Clint Murchison with de Mohrenschildt, LBJ and JFK. In 1966 LBJ helped cover up the H-bomb accident in Palomares, Spain. Very few Americans know of this tragedy. Volume also contains a wealth of compelling evidence on Colonel Howard Burris'' association and meeting with de Mohrenschildt on April 26th,1963, seven months before the assassination. NBC''s spokeswoman Doris Kearns Goodwin refused to respond to Adamson''s enclosed letters between LBJ and George de Mohrenschildt. Adamson asked Mrs. Goodwin "Why is Vice-President LBJ writing to Lee Harvey Oswald''s closest friend seven months before President Kennedy''s assassination?" Doris Goodwin is a Champion of Lyndon Baines Johnson and instead of addressing the question posed to her, she ignored it. Because they had a love affair. How would Abraham Lincoln think of his biographer writing a story about himself and at the same time not telling the entire truth about the assassination of another President.

B-movie megastar Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and Bubba Ho-Tep fame comes to comics with this adaptation of his upcoming feature film. With more talent than you could fit in his freakishly large chin, Campbell not only co-wrote the film with David Goodman, but directed and starred in it as well. However, in order to see his vision realized unadulterated by budgetary constraints, Campbell put the version of the script he wanted to shoot into the hands of artists Rick Remender and Hilary Barta. Man with the Screaming Brain tells the story of a wealthy American businessman determined to exploit the crippled economy of a former Soviet state torn between communist roots and capitalist greed. But when Campbell''s character hits on the wrong gypsy girl, he soon finds himself in the grip of a mad scientist with a twisted brain-transplant scheme worthy of Dr. Frankenstein.

In a country torn between left and right, two politicians are about to make history. How? By working together! In a nutshell, that''s the premise of this book.House Divided is a political satire, but it''s really a political fantasy, because it takes two opposing candidates, who wouldn''t normally be caught dead together, and challenges them to spend a weekend in the remote Oregon desert - hiking together, camping together, even getting wasted together!Having lived in rural Oregon for over twenty years, I can assure you that the characters presented in this fictional book are almost all based on actual people. In the Oregon backcountry, almost anything goes, so the idea that a "far-right" veteran and a "far-out" hippie might run for the same county commissioner seat is not as absurd as you might think.While this book was not written to solve the country''s political problems, I do think we need to have a laugh at both sides and everything in-between - it''s time to put the party back into politics!
