The island of Jura is one of Scotland's best kept secrets. A beautiful but little known island with a population of some 200 people and 6000 deer. The 115 miles of coastline has a wide range of interesting features, from caves and cliffs to raised beaches and long stretches of white sand. Many rare species of plants, birds and mammals inhabit these areas, including the beautiful and sometimes elusive otter. It is said that there is a pair of otters for every three miles of coastline. Small Isles Bay, Craighouse has its own resident colony of seals which can often be seen basking on the rocks in front of the Manse. If you enjoy climbing and hill walking then the Paps of Jura should definitely be on your "to do" list. They soar to almost 2600ft and consist of mainly scree and lumps of quartzite. Strong walking boots are a must, and a day set aside for this arduous task is a day well spent, the views from the top will take your breath away (if the climb doesn't). Islay, Colonsay, Mull,...

A common tradition found in many American families is the one pertaining to an unknown Native American ancestor. Sometimes the legend can be documented, but not always.. Before you tackle tracing a Native American line, become familiar with genealogical research by doing some research on one of your other branches. This will prepare you for the somewhat complex records you will encounter in the search to ascertain whether you have any Indian blood. Talk to all your relatives, and learn as much as possible about your Indian ancestors. If the name of the tribe is known, you will be able to take a shortcut and go directly to the tribal records. In most cases, the tribal affiliation will not be known, and it will be necessary to study the localities, especially the place of birth, where your Indian relatives have lived. Next research the Indian tribes that historically are known to have resided in those geographical areas and those tribes who now have reservations or live in those areas.... See less

'One American Town' a Tale of Special Community By: Bob Deakin 11/15/2002 Kent Good Times Dispatch It has been 30 years since Kent resident Donald Connery wrote One American Town, the story of a nameless small town, its virtues, its characters and how it deals with the prospect of change. The 222-page book never mentions Kent by name, but most quickly recognize the setting. The author deliberately avoided the name so the town would symbolize other such treasured communities. The stories and anecdotes are true, and could have happened to anyone in any American town. The book is separated into four sections-Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter-and features many unattributed quotes taken from Kent residents in 1972. "I believe that my intention was to make it more symbolic of a very special, very attractive American community, which had retained all the old values that we treasure," Mr. Connery said last week. "Not naming the place was hardly protective, it was mostly to symbolize a type of... See less

The basket, too, may have been a migrant. Its dominant characteristics--alternating wide and narrow splints and regularly spaced stamping--are typical of those made by Mahican and Schagticoke families along the borders between Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The construction of the basket measures the distance Algonkian weavers traveled from the twined textiles of the early colonial period. Woodsplint basketry developed after wars and disease forced remnant groups to find new ways of making a living. Already skilled in using forest products, they adapted to an emerging market for inexpensive and lightweight containers. By the early nineteenth century, an "Indian" basket was almost by definition a woodsplint basket. This one could have arrived in Vermont with the maker or an early owner--perhaps Moses Goodrich or someone close to him. See less

John Mason, c.1600-1672, was an American colonial military commander, born in England. He was an army officer before emigrating (c.1630) to Massachusetts and then (1635) to Windsor, Conn. When the Pequot threatened to wipe out the new colonies on the Connecticut River, he and John Underhill led an expedition (1637) against them with the aid of other Native Americans under Uncas and Miantonomo and virtually destroyed the tribe. After this campaign--generally called the Pequot War--Major Mason was a distinguished political leader in Connecticut until his death. In 1637 there were in the colonies two brave soldiers who had served in the Netherlands. These were Captains John Mason and John Underhill. The former had taken an active part in military and civil affairs in Massachusetts, and was now in Connecticut. The latter was an eccentric character, and might have been mistaken at one time for a friar and at another for a buffoon. He had been brought to Massachusetts by Governor Winthrop to... See less
