.... took him home with her, and another family took his little sister Rosalie. Mrs. Allan would have liked to adopt Edgar, but her husband was unwilling to commit himself. At that time people thought acting was immoral. John Allan could not help regarding the little son of actor parents as a questionable person to inherit his name and the fortune he was busy accumulating. He was willing however, to support the child, and in time came to be proud of Edgar's good looks and intelligence. When Edgar was six years old, Mr. Allen's business took him to Scotland, the country from which .....

.... Angelou tells the story of her childhood. She also makes the reader keenly aware of her close connection with her grandmother. Stephen Butterfield says of Caged Bird (in his Black Autobiography in America, 1974): "Continuity is achieved by the contact of mother and child, the sense of life begetting life that happens automatically in spite of all confusion- perhaps also because of it." Annie Henderson is a God-fearing, independent woman whose firm hand leads Maya throughout many rough spots in her childhood. It is through Mrs. Henderson's values of self-determination an .....

.... (1755), and a History of England (1754-62) that was, despite errors of fact, the standard work for many years. "Nothing seems more unbounded than a man's thought," quoted Hume.

(Stumpf) Hume wanted to build a science of a man, to study human nature by using the methods of physical science. But, with conflicting opinions offered on all subjects how can we know the true nature of things .....

After a while the stress was weighing him down and it was probably some sort relief when he went to fight the Fren .....

.... but even those were rare. Also the town liked one-upping each other with outrageous pranks. Phineas Taylor, who was Barnum's grandfather, was one of the most notorious jokers in Bethel and also one of the richest men. His longest running joke would be on Barnum. At the boys cresting, he deeded Barnum a piece of land called Ivy Island. For years Barnum herd stories about what a lucky young man he was to be given Ivy Island At the age of ten he set out to see the island himself.

.... to the Geneva Medical School of Western New York. This decision brought about much criticism but Elizabeth persevered and pursued her dream. In 1849, she graduated from Geneva Medical School at the top of her class. After this, she went to Paris (which at this time was the medical Mecca) to take advanced studies, but she was not permitted to study here either. She was then forced to enter a large maternity hospital as a student midwife. Here she contracted an infection and lost her sight in one eye. She then went to London and there she was permitted to continue her stud .....

.... turned from a fading Cubs outfielder into a booming super star. All season long he along with Mark McGuire and Ken Griffey Jr. made the much more exciting with their neck and neck, nose to nose run for the title of home run king. Both of them ended up breaking the Major League record and both of them had excellent seasons. Sammy established career highs in batting average, home runs, RBIs, runs scored, hits and walks. He also led the majors in RBIs, runs scored, and total basses. He hit sixty-six home runs the second most in a single season (second behind McGuire's seve .....
