Excerpt: George Reeves (January 5, 1914 June 16, 1959) was an American actor best known for his role as Superman in the 1950s television program Adventures of Superman. His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a polarizing issue. Some believe the official verdict of suicide; others believe George Reeves was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting. Reeves was born George Keefer Brewer in Woolstock, Iowa, the son of Don Brewer and Helen Lescher. (His death certificate erroneously lists his birthplace as Kentucky.) Reeves was born five months into their marriage. They separated soon afterward and Helen moved back home to Galesburg, Illinois. Later, Reeves' mother moved to California to stay with her sister. There, Helen met and married Frank Bessolo. George's father married Helen Schultz in 1925 and had children with her. Don Brewer apparently never saw his son again. In 1927, Frank Bessolo adopted George as his own son, and the boy took on his new stepfather's last name to become George Bessolo. Frank and Helen Besselo's marriage lasted 15 years and ended in divorce while Reeves was away visiting relatives. His mother told Reeves that Frank had committed suicide. Reeves's cousin, Catherine Chase, told biographer Jim Beaver that Reeves did not know for several years that Bessolo was still alive, nor that he was his stepfather and not his biological father. George began acting and singing in high school and continued performing on stage as a student at Pasadena Junior College. He also boxed as a heavyweight in amateur matches until his mother Helen ordered him to stop, fearing his good looks might be damaged...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=255742 ... Read more

George Henry Mackay, ornithologist-sportsman-conservationist, was born October 20, 1843, in Boston, Massachusetts.Mackay's journals are of great importance in documenting the occurrence, abundance, and tragically the decline of water birds during the later half of the 19th century.Bird behavior, weather, tides, winds, and hunting success were not overlooked.
