General Information North Missouri's Rare Natural Jewel When citizens of Laclede first expressed an interest in honoring Gen. John J. Pershing, commanding general of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I, the most suitable tribute seemed to be a park encompassing the land that Pershing loved to roam in his youth. In 1937, the state purchased the first tract of land, setting in motion the preservation of what is considered a rare natural jewel in a predominantly agricultural landscape. The 3,565-acre Pershing State Park is an excellent example of the wetland landscape once common in northern Missouri. Virtually all north Missouri rivers and streams have now been straightened and channelized; their flood plains converted to crop and pasture land. However, a portion of Locust Creek still meanders across the flood plain within the park and keeps alive the rare example of what these lands once held. Its dynamic force still shapes the landscape by forming oxbow lakes, sloughs, shrub swamps, marshes and wet prairie. Along the creek is a large bottomland forest of oak, hickory, cottonwood, sycamore and silver maple, which has been designated a Missouri natural area. Bird watchers can enjoy a huge variety of birds throughout the park, including great blue herons, barred owls, pileated woodpeckers, migrating songbirds, waterfowl and wintering bald eagles. On the prairie, visitors will find cordgrass, compass plant, spiderwort, blue flag iris and the rare pale green orchid. The endangered massasauga rattlesnake can be found in the park along with deer, turkey, raccoon, river otter, mink, beaver, muskrat and several species of frogs.

David's Genealogy Learn How To Find Your Ancestors Those who have seen "How the West was Won" can get a pretty good feel for the ways it was with your American ancestors. The first mode of transportation was not in a wagon train, it was the rivers and canal long before there were roads. From the Colonial time until about 1750, rivers and coastal routes were the perfer mode of travel. Roads hardly went more than 20 mile before the French Indian War. It was the needs for overland routes before they were made. But we will talk more about them on the Migration Trails page. In the State Link to the left side of this screen are all of the States of the Union. On each states page are the dates they joined the Union, the involvement of those who were in the French-Indian Wars, Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, Civil War, and other important events where records can be found. Let's talk about some of the histories. One hundred and sixty nine years before the United States was organized, Captain John Smith established the first successful colony of Jamestown, later named Virginia after the Virginia Company. Following shortly after was New Plymouth, Massachusetts; which came to the new world in 1620.

U.S. Air Force U.S. Army U.S. Marines U.S. Navy The Origins of Memorial Day Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.

Two subjects that McDonald argued should be discussed in the ministerial level meeting in Birmingham, England, are US plans to deploy a NMD system and NATO's own nuclear policy. "Both of these risk being sidelined by the sheer mass of items currently in NATO's sights, but it is crucial that the Alliance makes progress on them if it is to fulfill its mandate of assuring the security of its 19 members," stated McDonald.

House Subcommittee on Military Personnel Statement of Joseph D. Douglass September 17, 1996 Congressman Dornan, Members of the House National Security Committee, ladies and gentlemen. It is a privilege to be asked to participate in your hearings. Let me begin by thanking you for your efforts to learn what happened to the missing American servicemen. I believe this task is one of the most pressing and moral challenges our nation faces. I have worked in the national security area for close to thirty-five years. During this time I have worked on many very unpleasant subjects: nuclear war, chemical and biological warfare, deception, narcotics trafficking, and others. However, I can honestly say that nothing has left me with a more profound sense of sadness, frustration, and anger than has my work in the POW/MIA area. We ask our young men, many of them barely out of high school, to leave their families and friends, and to sacrifice their lives for their country, and even for other countries. They leave not knowing if they will live to return or, if they do, what condition they will be in. But they go, and relatively few complain. They believe that America places great value on human life and that whatever can be done to support them in battle will be done.

Historical Graphics Gallery Edited by Jim Zwick Advertising Book Store Discussion ... WWI Posters Search Conditions of Use Custom Scans Women's History Month Resources Advertisements from the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars By Jim Zwick W hen the Spanish-American War began in April of 1898, American businesses responded quickly, capitalizing on the public's interest in the war. Many publicized real or imagined associations with the military. Williams' Shaving Stick was "the favorite with the Army and Navy." Royal Baking Powder was "specially selected for use in both the Army and Navy." Supporting the war effort, the Prudential Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance Company announced that their present policy-holders could serve in the military without paying extra premiums. Proclaiming that "women are more patriotic than men," Silver Sheen Novelty Skirtings produced a new line of "Red, White and Blue Skirting." Waltham went for gift sales with the suggestion that "every American soldier and every American sailor should carry the best American watch." Seven advertisements from the war years with distinctive graphic images are reproduced below. Ranging from a suggestion that Ivory Soap be used to prepare for "any battle of life" to an ad for Grape-Nuts cereal that used contemporary concerns about cannibalism in the tropics to pitch its stomach-strengthening qualities, they demonstrate the variety of approaches companies used to associate their products with the war, the new colonies, and the "progress" and "civilization" of the world.
