paragraph: Kadan

paragraph: Kadan (also Qadan) was the son of the second Great Khan of the Mongols Ögedei and a concubine. He was the grandson of Genghis Khan and the brother of Güyük Khan. During the Mongol invasion of Europe, Kadan, along with Baidar (son of Chagatai Khan) and Orda Khan (the eldest brother of Batu Khan and khan of the White Horde), led the Mongol diversionary force that attacked Poland, while the main Mongol force struck the Kingdom of Hungary.

paragraph: In early 1241, Kadan's forces sacked the Polish towns of Lublin, Zawichost and Sandomierz. Kadan then attacked Masovia, while Baidar burned the evacuated Polish capital, Kraków and then Bytom, and Orda Khan assaulted the southwestern border of Lithuania. The three leaders were then to attack the Silesian capital Breslau. Baidar began to besiege the town, but marched north with Kadan and Orda to Liegnitz to defeat the forces of Henry II the Pious, Duke of Silesia, before the Polish duke could join King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia. After defeating some forces of Konrad I of Masovia, Kadan's forces joined with Baidar's and Orda's at Liegnitz. The Christian army was crushed in the ensuing Battle of Liegnitz of April 9, 1241.

paragraph: Mongol casualties were heavier than expected in the battle, however, and Kadan was reluctant to directly attack Wenceslaus' Bohemian forces. Kadan and Baidar skirmished against the Bohemians and were able to prevent the Bohemian king from helping King Béla IV of Hungary. After raiding Moravia, the Mongol diversionary force went to Hungary.

paragraph: During the winter of 1241-1242, Kadan sacked Buda on the way to Győr. While besieging Italian mercenaries defending Székesfehérvár, Kadan was forced to withdraw his troops after an early thaw flooded the land around the town. The Mongol prince was then sent south with one tumen to search for Béla in Croatia. Kadan first sought the Hungarian king at Zagreb, which he sacked, and then pursued him into Dalmatia. While Béla hid at Trogir, Mongols under the leadership of Kadan, in March 1242 at Klis Fortress in Croatia, experienced their first European military failure, while in pursuit for the head of Béla IV of Hungary. Kadan had his Hungarian prisoners executed as supplies began to run out. To the king's surprise, Kadan headed south past Trogir toward Dubrovnik (Ragusa). While he was nearing Scutari, Kadan heard of the death of his father, Ögedei Khan. Kadan's raids through Bulgaria on his retreat from Central Europe induced the young Kaliman I of Bulgaria to pay tribute and accept Batu Khan as his liege.

paragraph: In 1251 Kadan accepted the election of Möngke Khan as Khagan. According to René Grousset, he probably helped the latter to capture Eljigidei, the chief general of Güyük. Kadan was loyal to Kublai Khan and supported his army against Ariq Böke in the Toluid Civil War. He commanded Mongol army at the first engagement with Ariq Böke and killed his general Alandar.

paragraph: In many medieval sources, Kadan was mistranslated by chroniclers as Kaidu, leading to confusion about who participated in the European campaign. He is also confused with another brother, Köden, who was influential in Tibet.

paragraph: Hans Karl von Winterfeldt

paragraph: Hans Karl von Winterfeldt (4 April 1707 – 8 September 1757), a Prussian general, served in the War of the Polish Succession, the War of Austrian Succession, Frederick the Great's Silesian wars and the Seven Years' War. One of Frederick's trusted confidantes and advisors, he attracted enmity from other courtiers. Frederick entrusted him with considerable autonomy on the general staff, and Winterfeldt developed the first "modern" program of military intelligence gathering. He negotiated the Convention of Westminster and, for his efforts on Frederick's behalf, received the Order of the Black Eagle and the Order Pour le Mérite. He died from wounds received at Battle of Moys. His name is included on the Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Hans Karl von Winterfeldt was born at Vanselow Castle (now in Siedenbrünzow, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) in Swedish Pomerania. His education was imperfect, and in later life he always regretted his lack of familiarity with the French language.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Winterfeldt entered the cuirassier regiment of his uncle, Major General von Winterfeld, where he served until 1720; he was promoted cornet ( after two years service. He was fortunate enough, by his stature and soldierly bearing, to attract the notice of Frederick William I, who transferred him to the so-called giant regiment of grenadiers as a lieutenant. Before long he became a personal "aide-de-camp" to the king, and in 1732 he was sent with a party of selected non-commissioned officers to assist in the organization of the Russian army.

paragraph: While the guest of the Count Marshal Munnich at St. Petersburg, Winterfeldt fell in love with, and married, his cousin Julie von Maltzahn, who was also the marshal's stepdaughter and a lady in waiting to the grand duchess Elizabeth of Russia. On returning to Prussia he became an intimate of the crown prince, afterwards Frederick the Great, whom he later accompanied in the Rhine campaign of 1734. This intimacy, in view of his personal relations with the king, made Winterfeldt's position very difficult, for Frederick William and his son were badly estranged over the Katte Affair; eventually the prince was brought before a court-martial by his father, on the charge of attempting to desert, and was condemned to death. Winterfeldt remained the prince's constant friend through all these troubles, and on Frederick II's accession, he was promoted to major and appointed "aide-de-camp" to the new sovereign.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Activities during War of the Austrian Succession.

paragraph: When the War of the Austrian Succession started, Winterfeldt was sent on a mission to St. Petersburg, which, however, failed. He then commanded a grenadier battalion with great distinction at the Battle of Mollwitz, and won further glory in the celebrated minor combat of Rothschloss, where the Prussian hussars defeated the Austrians on 17 May 1741. One month later, Winterfeldt was made a colonel, as also was Zieten, the cavalry leader who had actually commanded at Rothschloss; the latter, as the older in years and service, resented the rapid promotion of his junior. After this promotion, Frederick chiefly employed Winterfeldt as a confidential staff officer to represent his views to the generals, a position in which Winterfeldt needed extraordinary tact and knowledge of men and affairs, and as a matter of course made many enemies.

paragraph: Winterfeldt was the King's confidente in reforming the army, recreating the general staff, and developing military intelligence. In the short peace, he was in constant attendance upon the king, who employed him again, when the war was resumed, in the same capacity as before, and, after he had been instrumental in winning a series of successful minor engagements. was promoted to major general in 1745, with effect from January 1743.

paragraph: For his great services at Hohenfriedberg, Frederick gave him the captaincy of Tatiau, which carried with it a salary of 500 thalers a year. Later on he became Governor of Kolberg in Pomerania. At Battle of Hennersdorf, Zieten repulsed the sudden and unexpected assault of the united Austro-Saxon force; Winterfeldt arrived on the field in time to take a decisive part in the victory. Once again the rivals had to share the laurels, and Zieten wrote to the king in disparagement of Winterfeldt, receiving in reply a full and generous recognition of his own worth and services, coupled with the curt remark that the king intended to employ General von Winterfeldt in any way that he thought fit. During the ten years peace that preceded the next great war, Winterfeldt was in constant attendance upon the king, except when employed on confidential missions in the provinces or abroad. For example, he was sent to London for negotiating the Convention of Westminster. In 1756 he was made a lieutenant general and received the Order of the Black Eagle and the Order Pour le Mérite.

paragraph: Section::::Seven Years' War.

paragraph: The 1745 Treaty of Dresden, which concluded Prussia's war with Austria, gave Prussia control of Silesia. Frederick understood that Maria Theresa would seek to regain the territory she had lost when she had a chance. Winterfeldt was active in collecting information about the coalition that was secretly preparing to strike Prussia. In preparing for the upcoming war, Winterfeldt took a leading part in the discussions which eventuated in Frederick's decision to strike the first blow.

paragraph: Winterfeldt was at Pirna with the king; when the Saxons surrendered there, Frederick considered incorporating the Saxon army wholesale into his own, and Winterfeldt advised him against this act. Frederick did it anyway. He accompanied Schwerin in the advance on Prague in 1757 and took a conspicuous part in the battle there, where the Saxon army deserted the Prussians by regiment. After the defeat of Kolin, however, Winterfeldt, whom Frederick seems to have regarded as the only man of character whom he could trust to conduct the more delicate and difficult operations of the retreat, found himself obliged to work in close contact with the king's brother, Prince William, Zieten and others of the men who considered him their enemies.

paragraph: The operations which followed may be summarized by the phrase everything went wrong; after an angry scene with his brother, Prince William retired from the army, and when Frederick gave Winterfeldt renewed marks of his confidence, the general animosity reached its height. As it chanced, however, Winterfeldt fell a victim to his own bravery in a skirmish at Moys near Görlitz on 7 September. His wound proved fatal and he died on 8 September.

paragraph: The court enmities provoked by his twenty years unbroken intimacy and influence with the king, and the denigration of less gifted or less fortunate soldiers, followed him in death. Prince William expressed the bitterness of his hatred in almost his last words, and Prince Henry's memoirs give a wholly incredible portrait of Winterfeldt's arrogance, dishonesty, immorality and incapacity. Frederick, however, was not apt to encourage incompetence in his most trusted officers, and as for the rest, Winterfeldt stood first among the very few to whom the king gave his friendship and his entire confidence. On hearing of Winterfeldt's death, he said, "I will never ever find again another Winterfeldt,"and a little later, "He was a good man, a soulful man; he was my friend". Winterfeldt's strength was thinking and acting strategically.

paragraph: Initially, Winterfeldt was buried at his estate of Barschau; a hundred years later, his body was transferred to the "Invalidenfriedhof" (military cemetery) at Berlin. A statue, which stands on the Wilhelmplatz there, was erected to his memory, and another was erected in the Bodemuseum on the Museumsinsel. Another forms part of the memorial to Frederick the Great at the boulevard Unter den Linden. In 1851 his name was inscribed on Frederick the Great's Equestrian Statue.

paragraph: Frank Wheaton

paragraph: Frank (Francis) Wheaton (May 8, 1833 – June 18, 1903) was a career military officer in the United States Army during the American Civil War and Indian Wars.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Wheaton was born in Providence, Rhode Island, to Dr. Francis Levison and Amelia S. Wheaton née Burrill. Dr. Francis Levison Wheaton graduated from Brown University in 1828 and served as a surgeon in the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War and as surgeon general of Rhode Island.

paragraph: Frank Wheaton attended Brown University, studying civil engineering, but withdrew in 1850 at the age of seventeen to take a position with Mexican-American Boundary Commission, where he worked for the next five years. On March 3, 1855, he was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the 1st U.S. Cavalry and assigned to duty on the Indian frontier on the Missouri and Kansas Border. He participated in the campaign against the Cheyenne Indians and also in the Utah War and was promoted to captain on March 1, 1861.

paragraph: On February 5, 1857, he married Sarah Maria Cooper (August 4, 1836 – December 15, 1858) and had one child, Sarah Maria Cooper Wheaton, in 1858. His wife died shortly thereafter. Wheaton remarried on November 2, 1861, to Emma Twiggs Mason (October 17, 1836 – February 16, 1864), born at Fort Des Moines, Wisconsin Territory, who, like his first wife, was a descendant of George Mason. She died in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War.

paragraph: When the Civil War started, Wheaton was commissioned as lieutenant colonel of the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry on July 10, 1861. His father-in-law from his first marriage, General Samuel Cooper, was the ranking general for the Confederacy, whereas Wheaton fought for the Union. Wheaton's unit fought at the First Battle of Bull Run, where its commander, Col. John Slocum, was killed. Wheaton took command of the unit, was promoted to colonel effective July 21, 1861, and led the 2nd Rhode Island during the Peninsula Campaign, where he was commended for his actions at the Battle of Williamsburg. At the Battle of Antietam, the regiment was kept in the rear and out of the battle.

paragraph: On November 29, 1862, Wheaton was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers and placed in command of the 3rd Brigade (62d NY, 93d Pa, 98th Pa, 102 Pa & 139 Pa), 3rd Division, VI Corps. He led them in heavy fighting at the Battle of Chancellorsville. His brigade, under the command of Colonel David J. Nevin of the 62nd New York, was the only brigade of the VI Corps to see action on the afternoon of the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg after completing a forced march of approximately 30 miles from Manchester, Maryland that day. At Gettysburg he commanded the 3rd Division while its commander, Maj. Gen. John Newton, temporarily commanded the I Corps, in place of John F. Reynolds.

paragraph: Wheaton remained in command of the brigade during Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign in 1864, as well as during the subsequent Siege of Petersburg. His men were hurried by train to Washington, D.C., in time to help repel Jubal Early's raid on the capital. During the ensuing operations in the Shenandoah Valley, under Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan, Wheaton was promoted to command of the first division after Brig. Gen. David Allen Russell was killed at the Third Battle of Winchester. His division fought well in subsequent battles. In the Battle of Sailors Creek Virginia, on April 6, 1865, his division captured Confederate Major General G. W. Custis Lee, son of Robert E. Lee. After the return of VI Corps to the Petersburg front, Wheaton earned the brevet rank of major general in the volunteer army and was brevetted colonel in the regular services.

paragraph: After the war, Wheaton joined the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States - a military society of officers who had served the Union.

paragraph: Section::::Postbellum career and life.

paragraph: For his service in the Civil War, in 1865 he was awarded an honorary A.M. Degree from Brown University and Rhode Island presented him with a sword of honor in July 1866.

paragraph: Shortly after the end of the Civil war, Wheaton was placed to command the district of Nebraska in Omaha. On April 30, 1866, he was mustered out of the volunteers and was subsequently promoted as lieutenant colonel of the 39th Infantry on July 28. He was breveted to the rank of major general in the Regular Army, to date from March 13, 1865, for meritorious service during the Civil War.

paragraph: He, along with others, recommended that Confederate General George H. Steuart of Maryland be pardoned for his crimes during the American Civil War. This led to Steuart's pardon in November 1866.

paragraph: On January 14, 1867, Wheaton was married for the third and last time to Maria Bleeker Miller (August 4, 1846 – August 21, 1924), born in Utica, New York. She eventually would become a Vice-President General in the Daughters of the American Revolution (as Mrs. Frank Wheaton).

paragraph: In the lead up to the Modoc War, Wheaton took command of approximately 250 regular army troops and a further 150 troops consisting of volunteers from California and Oregon as well as some Klamath Indians. At the First Battle of the Stronghold on January 17, 1873, he faced about fifty Modoc warriors in well defended positions amongst the lava fields of Northern California in a dense fog. Wheaton's troops suffered 35 deaths and many more wounded compared to no casualties on the Modoc side. Wheaton was subsequently relieved of command of the troops in the field. This defeat eventually led to the assassination of General Edward R. S. Canby on April 11 at a meeting of the Peace Commission on the battlefield.

paragraph: Wheaton was appointed colonel of the 2nd Infantry, effective December 13, 1874. On April 19, 1892, Wheaton was selected in a long and politically heated competition for promotion to brigadier general. While the selection of Wheaton was controversial, it was met with overall approval in the army due to his excellent war record. In August 1896, General Wheaton played a minor role in the Yaqui Uprising at Ambos Nogales. After a group of Yaqui, Pima and Mexican rebels were repulsed in their attempt to capture the customs house in Nogales, Sonora, some of the party fled north into Arizona. Wheaton dispatched two companies of the 24th Infantry to pursue the rebels but they escaped.

paragraph: In 1896 Wheaton was elected as an Honorary Companion in the Pennsylvania Commandery of the Military Order of Foreign Wars.

paragraph: After the retirement of Major General Thomas H. Ruger, Wheaton was promoted to major general in the Regular Army on April 3, 1897 and was mandatorily retired one month later on his 64th birthday on May 8.

paragraph: Section::::Post-military life.

paragraph: After his retirement, Wheaton left to spend two years in Europe. He gave a speech at a Thanksgiving dinner in Berlin, Germany in 1898 which he used as a platform to encourage the U.S. Congress to support a stronger military which reflected the greatness of the United States.

paragraph: Wheaton died in Washington, D.C., of a brain hemorrhage, and was buried in Section 1, Grave 131-A of Arlington National Cemetery. His third wife, Maria B. Wheaton, was buried next to him in 1924 after she died in Denver, Colorado.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The parking lot to the south of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery is named for Wheaton. The Wheaton, Maryland, section of the Wheaton/Glenmont division of the unincorporated township of Silver Spring, Maryland, just northwest of Washington, D.C., is named for him, as is the Wheaton High School, a school in the Down County Consortium of the Montgomery County Public School system of Montgomery County, Maryland.

paragraph: John Arthur Bayley

paragraph: John Bayley was born in Bedford Square London, England on 13 July 1831. He married Elizabeth Sterling of Belfast on 5 June 1853, they had no children. Little is known about what John Bayley's occupation was after he retired from the Army. He died on 4 February 1903 in the Paddington area of London, England.

paragraph: Section::::School years.

In January 1845 he attended Eton College, leaving the college in Easter 1849 and preparing for his pre-commission army exams. He recorded that these were "jolly days" at Eton. He spent some time in Germany studying German and military affairs in Hannover. He passed his commissioning exams at Sandhurst in February 1851.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: According to his own memoirs:

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 10 March 1851 he was "gazetted to an ensigncy on in the 52nd Light Infantry" and later presented at Court by Lord Hardinge.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bayley eventually joined his regiment on 10 May 1851. The 52nd was at the time made up of 10 companies and based in Limerick. Initially Bayley was a subaltern in Capt Cumming's company but in June 1851 he is appointed to Captain Dennison's company and sent on detachment to Cahir.

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 17 December 1852 he is promoted to Lieutenant (by Purchase).

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 5 October 1853 Bayley landed with his regiment in Bengal.

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 10 August 1854 he was listed as a Lieutenant with the regiment based in Subathoo, India.

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 7 November 1856 he was listed as promoted to Captain.

paragraph: BULLET::::- On 19 January 1858 he was promoted from Captain to Brevet Major in the 52nd Foot.

paragraph: BULLET::::- According to his own memoirs Major Bayley retired from the Army after extended sick leave on 18 April 1859.

paragraph: Section::::Role in the Indian Mutiny.

paragraph: According to John Bayley's memoirs for much of his regiment's early service in India was fairly uneventful and he spent time in a number of garrison and detachment locations. In January 1856 his unit his unit was ordered to march from its garrison in Meerut to join a force at Lucknow; this force was being assembled to annex one of the last remaining independent provinces in India Oudh. The Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was deposed in February 1856 and the British East India Company absorbed the province.

paragraph: On 27 December 1856 Bayley and his regiment leave their quarters at Lucknow and marched for Sealkote passing Agra on their way, arriving at their new station on 18 March 1857. Bayley recorded the beginnings of the Sepoy Mutiny and it was clear that the British regiments were not able to adequately track the beginnings of the revolt or its causes. On 5 June 1857 the regiment moved to Lahore at a time when native regiments were being disarmed and dismissed from East India Company service, and tensions were growing. He even witnessed a number of executions of mutineers and saw the effects on native regiment officers, who still trusted their men.

paragraph: The 52nd of Foot were part of a 'flying column' commanded by Brigadier John Nicholson who suspected correctly that most of the native regiments in the vicinity of his command were planning to revolt and attack the European units. The regiment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Campbell who was one of the most experienced officers of the column should have been made brigadier in charge. At this stage of the Regiment march toward Delhi they were camped at Amritsar.

paragraph: On the day of the attack against the Kashmir Gate Colonel George Campbell had arranged for native Bengal Engineers, commanded by Lieutenant Duncan Home, to place explosives next to the gate, a very risky undertaking. The 52nd Regiment gave covering fire during this combat engineering task, but the Bengal Engineers were very exposed to fire from the rebels inside the city walls and several of the sappers were killed. However, the engineers succeeded in blowing a hole in the gate. The 52nd were able to force their way through the gate and on into the city. Captain Bayley was part of the storming party and during the attack was wounded in the arm, he fought on with his regiment into the city. He was eventually recovered to a field hospital and his wound treated successfully. He was one of the lucky ones of the regiment as casualties during the assault on the city through the Kashmir Gate were high:

paragraph: BULLET::::- 22 killed (including one officer)

paragraph: BULLET::::- 62 wounded (including Bayley, his commanding officer George Campbell and another officer)

paragraph: Out of a 52nd assault contingent of 240.

paragraph: Brigadier Nicholson would be mortally wounded in the assault on the Kabul Gate.

paragraph: Historian John William Kaye wrote a history of the mutiny published in parts from 1864 to 1876 which claimed that the 52nd was hesitant to attack after the explosives blew a hole in the Kashmir Gate. In 1876, Bayley wrote a pamphlet countering that claim, citing the bugler and numerous officers present and claiming that the 52nd were at the gate within a minute of the bugler sounding the attack.

paragraph: Bernhard Molique

paragraph: Bernhard Molique ("Wilhelm Bernhard Molique;" 7 October 1802 – 10 May 1869) was a German violinist and composer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Nuremberg. His father was a musician and the boy studied various instruments, but finally devoted himself to the violin. In 1815, he received some lessons from Louis Spohr, and then studied the violin for two years at the University of Munich under Pietro Rovelli.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1820, Molique succeeded Rovelli as court violinist in Munich and, after several successful tours, in 1826 he became music director at Stuttgart. He died in Cannstatt in 1869. One of his pupils was the violinist Henry Blagrove.

paragraph: Section::::Compositions.

paragraph: As a composer, Molique was unapologetically self-taught. His music displays the influence of Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn and, especially, Louis Spohr. The then radical developments represented by Berlioz (who publicly praised his violin playing) and the New German School () left Molique untouched, however.

paragraph: His "Cello Concerto" was successfully played in Baden-Baden, by Léon Jacquard, conducted by Hector Berlioz, on August 27, 1860. He also wrote some charming songs.

paragraph: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen

paragraph: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen (4 May 1929 — 16 March 1987) was a Danish architect, best known for designing the Grande Arche of La Défense in Puteaux, near Paris. He directed the creation of several modern churches in Denmark.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Viborg and studied at the Viborg Katedralskole and Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. He later became associate professor at the Academy and from 1978 he was professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. He later served as director up to the time of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Churches.

paragraph: He directed the creation of several modern churches in Denmark: "Vangede Kirke" near Copenhagen (1974), "Stavnsholt Kirke" at the city of Farum (1981) and the two Roman Catholic churches in Esbjerg (1969) and Hvidovre (1960) both of which consecrated to Saint Nicholas.

paragraph: He was modest about his accomplishments. Once in an interview, he declared that he was an architect who built three churches and one Arch. He relied heavily on simple geometrical figures, especially the quadrant, which can be seen in his churches, in the interior decorations even of church organs.

paragraph: Section::::La Défense.

paragraph: His design won the international competition of the Grande Arche in Puteaux, France, as the French President François Mitterrand felt it was the best because of its 'purity and strength'. This work of 110 meters of height, which was inaugurated in 1989, two years after his death, used with remarkable ability the technology of its time, and was inspired by the nearby Arc de Triomphe.

paragraph: The monument, located in the heart of the financial district of La Défense, is built of granite and of Carrara marble. From its terrace, it is possible to admire a panoramic view all along the "Axe historique" with the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées, the Luxor Obelisk at the Place de la Concorde and the gardens of the Tuileries and the Louvre beyond.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 1955, he was married to Karen Gerda Gustavsen.

paragraph: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen died at Hørsholm and was buried at Hørsholm Kirkegård.

paragraph: Amans-Alexis Monteil

paragraph: Amans-Alexis Monteil (7 June 176920 February 1850), French historian, was born at Rodez, and died at Cely (Seine-et-Marne).

paragraph: His tastes were historical, and he taught history at Rodez, at Fontainebleau and at St Cyr. He held that a disproportionate importance had been given to kings, their ministers and generals, and that it was necessary rather to study the people. In his "Histoire des français des divers etas, ou histoire de France aux cinq derniers siècles" (10 vols, 1828-1844) he undertook to describe the different classes and occupations of the community. For this he made a collection of manuscripts, which he sold in 1835 (many of them passed into the library of Sir Thomas Philipps), drawing up a catalogue under the singular title of "Traité de materiaux manuscrits de divers genres d'histoire".

paragraph: He boasted of having been the first to write really "national" history, and he wished further to show this in a memoir entitled "L'Influence de l'histoire des divers etats, ou comment fill allée la France si elle est eu cette histoire". (1840; reprinted in 1841 under the title: "Les Français pour la premiere fois dans l'histoire de France, ou poetique de l'histoire des divers etats").

paragraph: Monteil did not invent the history of civilization, but he was one of the first in France, and perhaps in Europe, to point out its extreme importance. He revised the third edition of his history himself (5 vols, 1848); a fourth appeared after his death with a preface by Jules Janin (5 vols, 1853).

paragraph: Andrea Marcovicci

paragraph: Andrea Louisa Marcovicci (born November 18, 1948) is an American actress and singer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Marcovicci was born in Manhattan, to Helen Stuart, a singer, and Eugen Marcovicci, a physician and internist of Romanian descent. Her father was 63 when she was born and died when she was 20. In her teens she decided that she wanted to be a singer, but instead majored in drama. In a 1972 interview, she looked back at this period without enthusiasm:

paragraph: Marcovicci left school and started making her way into show business as a singer, appearing on "The Mike Douglas Show" and "The Merv Griffin Show." As an actress, she debuted in commercials and soon became better known as Dr. Betsy Chernak Taylor on the television soap opera "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" from 1970–1973. She appeared in the second pilot film for the television series "Harry O," titled "Smile Jenny, You're Dead". She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the New Star of the Year in 1977 for the film, "The Front" (1976).

paragraph: Marcovicci had a recurring role on "Hill Street Blues". She has appeared on "Scarecrow and Mrs. King," "Kojak," "The Incredible Hulk," "Magnum, P.I.," "Cybill," "Arli$$," "Taxi," "Voyagers!" (as Cleopatra), "Baretta," "Mannix", and "Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers". She starred on both "Trapper John, M.D." and "Berrenger's."

paragraph: Marcovicci appeared onstage on Broadway in "Ambassador". Her film roles include "The Concorde ... Airport '79" (1979), "" (1983) and "Jack the Bear" (1993).

paragraph: In 2008 Marcovicci celebrated her 22nd season at the legendary Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel with "Marcovicci Sings Movies II." A very special 60th Birthday concert followed in May 2009 at Town Hall in NYC, celebrating Andrea’s contribution to the American Songbook. To commemorate this event her personal record label, Andreasong Recordings, Inc., released a compilation CD titled "As Time Goes By: The Best of Andrea Marcovicci," her 17th album and/or CD.

paragraph: At the end of 2011, Marcovicci celebrated her 25th season at the Oak Room with "No Strings", a collection of songs about travel. Her closing performance of "No Strings" was the final cabaret event at the Oak Room, as the Algonquin's new owner decided to turn the space into a lounge for "preferred" customers.

paragraph: Marcovicci celebrated her actual 65th birthday, November 18, 2013, by playing two shows at Joe's Pub, part of the Public Theater.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: She is the recipient of several awards and honors including the Mabel Mercer Foundation’s 2007 Mabel Award and three Lifetime Achievement Awards—honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, the Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation, and by a Bob Harrington Backstage Bistro Award. In recognition of her accomplishments in the arts, Andrea has received honorary degrees from Trinity College in Hartford, CT and the Memphis College of Art. In addition, "The Andrea Marcovicci Suite" at the Algonquin Hotel, dedicated in 2006 on her twentieth anniversary at the Oak Room, contains memorabilia of her work in theatre, film, television, and on the concert stage.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Harold Moss

paragraph: Harold Moss (born 1929) is an American politician, whose political career has taken place in Tacoma, Washington. He was the first African American member of that city's city council, its first African American mayor, and the first African American member of the Pierce County Council. Moss's wife, Bil Moss, has also served on the Tacoma City Council.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Originally from Texas by way of Michigan, Moss arrived in Tacoma during the Korean War as a member of the National Guard. He first became politically active in the 1950s as a member of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He served two terms as branch president, served on Tacoma's first Human Relations Commission (later Human Rights Commission), and in 1968, Moss helped create the Tacoma Urban League and played a key role in securing public funding for its Urban Services Center.

paragraph: Moss was a dental technician, and ran a business, Northwest Porcelain Studios. He left this business in the hands of his assistants when he was hired by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce and the Tacoma Area Coalition in the spring of 1968 to run the Central Area Employment Office, soliciting jobs for disadvantaged Tacoma-area residents, including the hardcore unemployed. He entered electoral politics in 1969 as an unsuccessful candidate for the Tacoma City Council. A year later, five council members were recalled, and Moss was appointed to a seat, which he took on October 13, 1970. He was elected to a full term in 1971, remaining also a full-time employee of the Urban League throughout this period. Urban League National Executive Director Vernon Jordan asked Moss to step down from his elected position in 1975 to avoid compromising the League's non-profit status.

paragraph: In a September 1978 domestic argument, Moss shot his son in the shoulder with a .38-caliber revolver. "My son was very high at the time," he later said. No charges were ever pressed, and the two later reconciled.

paragraph: By 1983, Moss was no longer affiliated with the Urban League. That year he ran unsuccessfully for city council. In February 1987 he was appointed to fill a council vacancy, ran that fall for a full term, won, and was reelected in 1991. In January 1994, Tacoma mayor Jack Hyde suffered a fatal heart attack nearly at the start of his term. Moss, serving as deputy mayor at the time, was appointed mayor and served for two years. During his administration, Tacoma adopted a youth curfew law. Because the mayor is considered part of the city council, term limits prevented him from running as an incumbent in the 1995 election. During this period, Moss also worked as a civil-rights manager for the Washington State Department of Transportation, handling the council and mayoralty as a part-time job.

paragraph: Moss was subsequently elected to the Pierce County Council, serving January 1, 1997 – December 31, 2004, including as council chair from 2002 to 2004, at which time he announced his retirement. He ran unsuccessfully for the Tacoma mayoralty in 2001 and came out of that retirement in 2007 to run again for the Tacoma City Council against incumbent Spiro Manthou. Manthou defeated him at the polls.

paragraph: Stefano Zannowich (, (Budva, Venetian Albania, 18 February 1751–Amsterdam, Dutch Republic, 25 May 1786), called Hanibal, was a Montenegrin Serb writer and adventurer. He wrote in Italian, French, Latin and German. He was a pen pal of Gluck, Pietro Metastasio, Voltaire, Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Catherine the Great, and Frederick William II of Prussia, to whom he dedicated a book of French verses translated from Italian, ""L'Alcoran des Princes Destinés au Trone"". Giacomo Casanova mentions Stefano Zannovich, who "paid a visit to Vienna under the alias of Prince Castriotto d'Albanie. Under pressure of the authorities, he left at the end of July 1784" for Poland and later for the Netherlands (United Provinces).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was born to the Paštrovići clan near Budva, Venetian Albania (now Montenegro), and committed suicide in an Amsterdam jail. He was the fourth child of Antun "Budaljanin", a wealthy merchant and shoemaker, and his wife Franka (née Marković). He had older brothers named Marko (b. 1745), Primislav (b. 1747) and his namesake Stjepan (b. 1749) who died at an early age. After him his parents had Vincislav (b. 1755) and Miroslav (1761-1834), and two daughters, Marija Jelisaveta (b. 1753) and Teresia Giustiniana (b. 1758). Large number of siblings allowed them to constantly change identities, falsely impersonating one another, often making confusion by allegedly appearing in two places at the same time. His oldest brother Marko went to Russia in 1781 and became a count, living in Škłoŭ on the estate of Semyon Zorich. In 1783 he was arrested alongside his brother Anibal, for covering his brothers money counterfeiting operation. Mentioned Anibal is not the same person as Stjepan, more likely Primislav who used the same alias. They were imprisoned in Siberia until 1788 when they were pardoned by Catherine due to Zorich's intervention and because of Stjepan's fame in western Europe, where he always glorified Russian empress. Upon release they left for Arhangelsk, not to be mentioned again. His youngest brother Miroslav also adopted the title of count, enrolled in politics as a staunch opponent of Venetian aspirations towards Dalmatia and a freemason. He was a delegate of Budva on the unification assembly of Montenegro and Boka in 1813. He also published a book "Thoughts and sonnets" and died at a very old age in 1834. Of all his relatives, Stjepan, alongside Primislav who was often his partner in con schemes, is perhaps the best known.

paragraph: Stjepan claimed descendance from Skanderbeg. Stefan completed his education in Venice and Padua. He met Casanova through his brother Primislav in Florence, where he was part of the Accademia degli Apatisti. In Florence he made his first moves by bankrupting certain English lord in the game of cards, for which he was expelled from Florence. In 1769 both he and his brother were expelled from Venice, as well as from Treviso the following year for document forgery and false representation. Somewhere after 1772 he undertook a trip to London in order to collect his card winnings. During this voyage he visited much of the France, including Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon and eventually Paris, where he was moving in social circles around Encyclopédistes, thus meeting d'Alembert, Marmontel and Rousseau. His first works "Opera diverse" and "Poesie" were printed in 1773 in Paris and Milan respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Zannowich's life is full of controversy, scarce on facts and full of fictional events which were most likely product of his own imagination. Various fragments were recorded by his acquaintances. Apparently, at the age of 17, after a robbery he committed, he escaped to Dalmatia and became a brigand leader. Later he came to Montenegro, where, by his own account, he presented himself as Russian tsar Peter III and became the head of the country. Zannowich did in fact visit Montenegro on 5 May 1774 with unclear motifs. Obviously seeking to profit from the power vacuum after the death of Stephen the Little, the actual impostor of Peter III, he later took over his identity and presented himself across Europe as the man who caused such political intrigue. It is widely regarded as true that he actually met Stephen, even writing couple of works about him in 1784, in which he made a clear distinction between the two of them. He mentioned himself in passage as being one of Stephen's generals in latter's battles against the Turks. After the supposed meeting he left Montenegro for the first time in 1769 for Vienna only to return five years later. While in Vienna he tried to gain support from local Orthodox deacons for his plan to seize the power in Montenegro, and it is at this point that he started his quest on proving his own noble heritage, alleged connection with Skenderbeg etc. He claimed that the people of Montenegro as well as Prince-bishop Sava were asking him to take over the country, but that his adventurous spirit was longing for something more. In reality, he was expelled by Montenegrins who wanted to avoid being clutched by yet another impostor. So, he left the country for the second time and accompanied by archimandrite Petar I, who would later become metropolitan himself, and a group of Montenegrins he reached Vienna through Rijeka. Once in Vienna he split with his travelling group and via Strasbourg and Frankfurt he left for Poland. There he took an alias Niarta and became the protégé of prince Michał Kazimierz Ogiński, whom he exploited financially. In 1775 he went to Dresden where his "Opere Postume" and "Lettere turche" were printed, then moving to Berlin the following year. There he failed to gain the trust of Frederick the Great, who immediately saw right through him, but in turn grew increasingly close with his heir Frederick William II. Johann Christian von Mannlich recounts how well he was received in Zweibrücken in 1778, only to be arrested and his residence permit denied after an incriminating letter against him arrived from Berlin. Spending some time under various false identities in Alsace and Lorraine, he arrived in Rome where, despite an age difference, he started an affair with Duchess of Kingston. The pair then left for Russia. In 1780 he was in Groningen, moving to Amsterdam and eventually ending in Antwerpen. There he befriended Charles-Joseph de Ligne, who dedicated a poem to Stefan, and spent six months enjoying his hospitality at Château de Belœil. During his stay in Belgium, clearly not eager to abandon his political ambitions involving Montenegro, he devised a plan to place the country under the protection of Joseph II, whose intervention saved him from prison in Vienna in 1778. He claimed being able to assemble up to 10.000 Montenegrins ready to fight for emperors interests in Austrian Netherlands. Stefan's plot collapsed while he was in Ath, from where he left yet another time for Frankfurt, where he resided from 19 March to 12 June in 1784. Living off various hoaxes and frauds, he there collected 5.764 Dutch guilders from a bank using a false promissory note from Duchess of Kingston. On 11 August 1784 he arrived in Frauenbrünnl monastery in Abbach near Straubing and presented himself as an exiled prince seeking sanctuary and peace, thus spending some time there, making it his seat of operations in the process. He regularly paid visits to Augsburg, Regensburg and Munich, establishing contacts with wealthy merchants and persuading them to enter Dutch market where he had considerable influence. During his time in Frauenbrünnl he rarely left his room and often made overgenerous contributions to the poor locals.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: The most important work, "Turska pisma" or Turkish Letters ("Lettere turche", original title) by Stefano Zannowich, first published in Dresden in 1776, Serbian literary historiography never treated them as novel. With the latest research and study, Zannowich's work now belongs to the genre of epistolary novel, a form especially popular in the Age of Enlightenment.
