The Williamson-Abbot survey party included a geologist-botanist, a physician-naturalist, several assistant engineers, a computation specialist, a pack master, and eighteen mule packers. At Fort Reading, a military escort of eighty infantrymen and twenty cavalry troopers joined the party. The escort was commanded by Lieutenant H. G. Gibson with Lieutenants George Crook and Philip H.

.8 -1 Citizenship in a Republic is the title of a speech given by the former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23, 1910.[1] One notable passage on page seven of the 35-page speech is referred to as "The Man in the Arena":[2] It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Someone who is heavily involved in a situation that requires courage, skill, or tenacity (as opposed to someone sitting on the sidelines and watching), is sometimes referred to as "the man in the arena." The title – as the reference to "dust and sweat and blood" – echoes Spanish bullfighting and Roman gladiatorial combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , sort Rough Riders spanish american war , 9 -27 http://friendfeed.com/citizen... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page

In the Garden, Adam and Eve were gatherers, collecting fruits as they fell from the tree. Cain the farmer and Abel the pastoralist represented two paths into the future: agriculture and civilization versus animal husbandry and nomadism. Cain offered God his cultivated fruits and vegetables, Abel an animal sacrifice that Flavius Josephus tells us was milk. Agriculture, in its earliest form, brought disease, deformation, and death, so God rejected it for the milk from Abel's flocks. Cain grew enraged and, being your prototypically amoral city-dweller, did his brother in. God cursed Cain with exile, commanding him to wander the earth like the pastoralist brother he'd killed. Cain and agriculture ultimately won the day—humans settled into cities sustained by farms—but only by becoming a little like Abel.

Data Geeks Say War, Not Agriculture, Spawned Complex Societies http://www.wired.com/wireden... http://www.wired.com/wireden... The model assumes that military technologies arise on the interface between the Eurasian steppe belt and agrarian societies living next to it. This assumption is meant to capture the pattern of invention and spread of military innovations during the era when horse-related military innovations dominated warfare within Afroeurasia (after the introduction of the chariots and before the widespread use of gunpowder; thus, roughly 1,500 BCE to 1,500 CE). As military historians have documented (26, 37), these innovations included chariots, mounted archery, heavy cavalry, and stirrups, among others. We are not arguing that horse-related innovations were the only ones important in premodern warfare; rather, the argument is that the arrival of such technologies in an area signiﬁcantly elevates the intensity of between-polity competition above existing levels. Thus, the model focuses not on the evolution of any kind of state, but on the rise and spread of very large states: macrostates. Our hypothesis is that the diffusion of horserelated military technologies from the steppe-sown interface to the rest of Afroeurasia results in a characteristic spatiotemporal pattern of spread of intense forms of warfare, leading to macrostate forms of political organization. http://www.pnas.org/content... - Thomas Page

Cavalier derives from the same Latin root as the French word chevalier (as well as the Spanish word caballero), the Vulgar Latin word caballarius, meaning “horseman”.

Though mostly set in late 17th century England, France, and the United Provinces, the first book includes a frame story set in early 18th century Massachusetts. In order to write the novel, Stephenson researched the period extensively and integrates events and historical themes important to historical scholarship throughout the novel. However, Stephenenson alters details such as the members of the Cabal ministry, the historical cabinet of Charles II of England, to facilitate the incorporation of his fictional characters. Within the historical context, Stephenson also deals with many themes which pervade his other works, including the exploration of knowledge, communication and cryptography.

5 -6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... The Knights (Ancient Greek: Ἱππεῖς Hippeîs; Attic Ἱππῆς) was the fourth play written by Aristophanes, the master of an ancient form of drama known as Old Comedy. The play is a satire on the social and political life of classical Athens during the Peloponnesian War and in this respect it is typical of all the dramatist's early plays. It is unique however in the relatively small number of its characters and this was due to its scurrilous preoccupation with one man, the pro-war populist Cleon. Cleon had prosecuted Aristophanes for slandering the polis with an earlier play, The Babylonians (426 BC), for which the young dramatist had promised revenge in The Acharnians (425 BC), and it was in The Knights (424 BC) that his revenge was exacted. The play relies heavily on allegory and it has been condemned by one modern scholar as 'an embarrassing failure'.[3] - Thomas Page
