Eric Porter contributed The Canyons of the Colorado--Past and Present. John Wesley Powell March 24 1834 - September 23 1902 was an American geologist U.S. Army soldier explorer of the American West professor at Illinois Wesleyan University and director of major scientific and cultural institutions. He is famous for his 1869 geographic expedition a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers including the first official U.S. government-sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Powell was appointed by US President James A. Garfield to serve as the second director of the U.S. Geological Survey 1881-1894 and proposed for development of the arid West policies that were prescient for his accurate evaluation of conditions. Two years prior to his service as director of the U.S. Geological Survey Major Powell had become the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications. In 1869 he set out to explore the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. Gathering ten men four boats and food for 10 months he set out from Green River Wyoming on May 24. Passing through dangerous rapids the group passed down the Green River to its confluence with the Colorado River then also known as the Grand River upriver from the junction near present-day Moab Utah and completed the journey on August 30 1869. The expedition's route traveled through the Utah canyons of the Colorado River which Powell described in his published diary as having . wonderful features—carved walls royal arches glens alcove gulches mounds and monuments. From which of these features shall we select a name We decide to call it Glen Canyon. In 1875 Powell published a book based on his explorations of the Colorado originally titled Report of the Exploration of the Columbia River of the West and Its Tributaries. It was revised and reissued in 1895 as The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons. Eliot Furness Porter December 6 1901 - November 2 1990 was an American photographer best known for his color photographs of nature. Fairfield Porter introduced his older brother to photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz in about 1930. Stieglitz after seeing Porter's work encouraged Porter to work harder. Finally in 1938 Stieglitz presented Porter's work taken with a Linhof view camera in his New York City gallery An American Place. The exhibit's success prompted Porter to pursue photography full-time. Porter began working with a new color film Kodachrome introduced in 1935 but it presented considerable technical challenges especially for capturing fast-moving birds. Drawing on his chemical engineering and research background Porter experimented extensively until he was able to produce satisfactory images. His bird photographs were exhibited in 1943 the first ever exhibition of color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art New York. His solo exhibition at Limelight Gallery NYC. March 21-April 17 1955 was effectively a retrospective of this work. He served as a director of the Sierra Club from 1965 to 1971. Arrowood Press hardcover

réf. 101-p0978Heritage Books Inc. Paperbook. new. new. new. This book contains a reproduction of the personal property tax lists for King and Queen County Virginia for the years 1782 through 1803. For the most part it has been created using digital copies at FamilySearch.org except a few original pages missing from microfilm. The earliest list in King and Queen contains the name of the Proprietor person paying the tax and taxable Negroes the number of: white tithes Negroes horses cattle wheels ordinary licenses and after a few years billiard tables and store licenses. Before 1787 the local sheriff created the list. The multiple 1785 lists account for white males over age twenty-one only while the 1783 lists are a composite of white souls and white tithes over age twenty-one. Most of the 1783 lists detail the name of each tithable including whites above age twenty-one and slaves. The year 1786 was a big deal for tax and financial reform in Virginia. Provisions were refined for land and personal property and reflected arrearages delinquents claims by military officers and their widows and orphans court and clerks fees and tax on houses and town lots merchant licenses spirits and wines imported goods etc. The nitty gritty got all the way to the number of wheels on carriages. There are six different lists for 17821784 and seven for 1785 and 1786 which are by hundred district or parish and generally go from north to south in the county; with the first hundred being the top of the county and the sixth hundred being the lower part of the county. In and after 1787 there are two lists one for the upper part of the county and one for the lower part of the county. The dividing line between the two districts is seemingly mid-county as the upper district includes all of Drysdale Parish and part of St. Stephens Parish causing the record-keeper to append duplicate names with notes like De. Drysdale or S.S. St. Stephens. Other notations behind the name of the taxable person may but not always indicate their profession or occupation like C for constable T for tailor or B for blacksmith. For genealogical researchers tax records may help distinguish between individuals by the same name living in a locality at the same time. Some references notations and evidence of estate divisions may be found here when not readily located in any of the few court records that have survived multiple fires at the King and Queen County courthouse. Plus the tax record for 1790 and 1800 serves as a replacement for lost Federal census records. An index to full-names places and subjects adds value to this work. Wesley E.
