paragraph: Maria Theresia von Paradis

paragraph: Maria Theresia Paradis (also von Paradies) (May 15, 1759 – February 1, 1824), was an Austrian musician and composer who lost her sight at an early age, and for whom Mozart may have written his Piano Concerto No. 18 in B-flat major.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Maria Theresia Paradis was the daughter of Joseph Anton Paradis, Imperial Secretary of Commerce and Court Councilor to the Empress Maria Theresa, for whom she was named. The Empress, however, was not her godmother, as was often believed. Between the ages of 2 and 5 she lost her eyesight. Paradis was treated from late 1776 until the middle of 1777 by the famous Franz Anton Mesmer, who was able to improve her condition temporarily until she was removed from his care, amid concerns on the one hand of possible scandal, on the other hand at the potential loss of her disability pension. In either case, on this departure from Dr. Mesmer the blindness came back permanently.

paragraph: She received a broad education in the musical arts from:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Carl Friberth (music theory and composition)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Leopold Kozeluch (piano)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Vincenzo Righini (singing)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Antonio Salieri (singing and composition)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Abbé Vogler (music theory and composition).

paragraph: Section::::Commissions.

paragraph: By 1775, Paradis was performing as a singer and pianist in various Viennese salons and concerts. She commissioned various works to perform, most notably:

paragraph: BULLET::::- an organ concerto by Antonio Salieri in 1773 (which is missing its second movement);

paragraph: BULLET::::- a piano concerto (probably No. 18, K.456) by Mozart in 1784;

paragraph: BULLET::::- a piano concerto by Joseph Haydn (HXVIII: 4), which was possibly premiered in Paris in 1784, but appears to have been composed in the 1770s, the original manuscript now lost.

paragraph: On K.456, while this concerto is believed to be the one intended for Paradis, there are continuing questions concerning this. From Ruth Halliwell's "The Mozart Family: Four Lives in a Social Context", we read:

paragraph: It is not certain which concerto this was. Leopold [in a letter from Vienna] simply described it to Nannerl as a ‘glorious concerto’ and said it had been written for Maria Theresia von Paradis ‘for Paris.’ His description suggests that neither he nor Nannerl knew it already; if this is so, it must have been a later one than K.453, which seems to have been the newest they had in Salzburg at this date.

paragraph: In any event, Paradis had an excellent memory and exceptionally accurate hearing, as she was widely reported to have learned over 60 concertos by heart, as well as a large repertoire of solo and religious works.

paragraph: Section::::Touring Europe.

paragraph: Paradis did not stay confined to Vienna. In 1783, she set out on an extended tour towards Paris and London, accompanied by her mother and librettist Johann Riedinger who invented a composition board for her. In August of that year they visited the Mozarts in Salzburg, though Nannerl's diary seems to place this meeting in September. She played in Frankfurt and other German cities, then Switzerland. Paradis finally reached Paris in March 1784. Her first concert there was given in April at the Concert Spirituel; the review in the "Journal de Paris" for it remarked: "…one must have heard her to form an idea of the touch, the precision, the fluency and vividness of her playing." In all she made a total of 14 appearances in Paris, to excellent reviews and acclaim. She also assisted in helping Valentin Haüy ("the father and apostle of the blind") establish the first school for the blind, which opened in 1785.

paragraph: She traveled to London in late 1784, and performed over the next few months at court, Carlton House (the home of the Prince of Wales), and in the Professional Concerts at Hanover Square, among other places. She played Handel fugues to George III and later accompanied the Prince of Wales, a cellist. However, her concerts lost ground, being less well received and attended in London than in Paris. She continued to tour in Western Europe (including Hamburg where she met Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach), and after passing through Berlin and Prague, ended up back in Vienna in 1786. Further plans were made to give concerts in the Italian states and Russia, but nothing came of these. She returned to Prague in 1797 for the production of her opera "Rinaldo und Alcina".

paragraph: Section::::Compositions and later life.

paragraph: During her tour of Europe, Paradis began composing solo music for piano as well as pieces for voice and keyboard. The earliest music attributed to her is often cited as a set of four piano sonatas from circa 1777, but these are really by Pietro Domenico Paradisi, to whom much of her music is often mistakenly attributed. Her earliest major work in existence is the collection "Zwölf Lieder auf ihrer Reise in Musik gesetzt", composed between 1784-86.

paragraph: Her most famous work, the "Sicilienne in E-flat major" for violin and piano, is spurious, as it is believed to have been composed by its purported discoverer, Samuel Dushkin.

paragraph: By the year 1789, Paradis was spending more time with composition than performance, as shown by the fact that from 1789 to 1797 she composed five operas and three cantatas. After the failure of the opera "Rinaldo und Alcina" from 1797, she shifted her energy more and more to teaching. In 1808, she founded her own music school in Vienna, where she taught singing, piano and theory to young girls. A Sunday concert series at this school featured the work of her outstanding pupils. She continued to teach up until her death in 1824.

paragraph: When composing, she used a composition board invented by Riedinger, her partner and librettist, and for correspondence a hand-printing machine invented by Wolfgang von Kempelen. Her songs are mostly representative of the operatic style, which displays coloratura and trills. Salieri's influence may be seen in the dramatically composed scenes. Much of the stage work is modeled on the Viennese Singspiel style, while her piano works show a great influence by her teacher Leopold Kozeluch.

paragraph: Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld

paragraph: Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, also spelled Zonnenfeld, (1 December 1848 – 26 February 1932) was the rabbi and co-founder of the Edah HaChareidis, Haredi Jewish community in Jerusalem, during the years of the British Mandate of Palestine. He was originally given the name "Chaim", however, the name "Yosef" was added to him while he experienced an illness. Sonnenfeld was born in Verbó, Hungary (today: Vrbové, Slovakia). His father, Rabbi Avraham Shlomo Zonnenfeld, died when Chaim was five years old.

paragraph: He was a student of Rabbi Samuel Benjamin Sofer (the "Ksav Sofer"), the son of Rabbi Moses Sofer (the "Chasam Sofer"). He was also a student of Rabbi Avraham Schag in Kobersdorf (who was himself a disciple of the Chasam Sofer); Sonnenfeld moved from the latter city to Jerusalem in 1873.

paragraph: He became an important figure in Jerusalem's Old City, serving as the right-hand man of Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin and assisting the latter in communal activities, such as the founding of schools and the Diskin Orphanage, and the fight against secularism. In 1898, he refused to meet with Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany who visited the Old City because he believed that the Emperor was a descendant of the nation of Amalek. Sonnenfeld sent a delegate, a former Dutch diplomat and writer who had become a "baal teshuva", Dr. Jacob Israël de Haan, to Transjordan with a peace proposal for Emir Abdullah.

paragraph: He had a difficult relationship with Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, and the two were vigorous opponents in many areas. Yet prior to Rav Kook coming to Jerusalem there does not seem to have been any tension and in 1913 the two traveled together to the Galilee to try to return secular Jewish pioneers to Torah Judaism.

paragraph: Sonnenfeld wrote scholarly commentaries on the Torah, Talmud, and "Shulchan Aruch". His responsa are collected in the work "Salmas Chaim".

paragraph: Matthew Milia

paragraph: Matthew Milia (born November 6, 1985) is an American songwriter, musician, poet, and visual artist. He is best known as the leader of the band Frontier Ruckus.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Milia was raised in West Bloomfield, Michigan, where he attended Catholic school for 13 years. While in high school at Brother Rice he met David Jones, with whom he formed Frontier Ruckus. He then studied Creative Writing at Michigan State University, where he was mentored by poet Diane Wakoski. At Michigan State, Milia met bandmates Zachary Nichols, Anna Burch, and Ryan Etzcorn. In 2007 he and Burch studied at the Irish Writers Centre in Dublin.

paragraph: Section::::Frontier Ruckus.

paragraph: As an undergraduate at Michigan State, Milia began writing the songs that would become "The Orion Songbook", Frontier Ruckus' 2008 debut. Allmusic hailed the album as being "about as good a debut as a band can hope for" and Milia's lyrics as "hypnotic." In 2009 Milia was contacted by The Avett Brothers' manager Dolphus Ramseur, with whom Frontier Ruckus subsequently signed for both management and label representation. Frontier Ruckus began heavily touring the United States at this time.

paragraph: "Deadmalls and Nightfalls", Frontier Ruckus' 2nd LP, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim. PopMatters wrote that it "not only outdoes its predecessor, it reaches a level of top-notch songwriting most groups never attain on a greatest hits compilation." The band performed at Bonnaroo that year, with Rolling Stone listing the band as one of the festival's "Essential Sets" due in part to Milia's "haunting voice." At this point Frontier Ruckus began touring Europe regularly as well.

paragraph: In 2013 Frontier Ruckus' 3rd LP, a sprawling double-album of 20 songs titled "Eternity of Dimming", was released. The apex of Milia's obsessive nostalgia and verbose lyricism, the record received significant critical attention. CMJ wrote that the album "veritably overflows with images of middle-class American youth in the 1990s." Frontier Ruckus performed at Lollapalooza that summer and at the UK's End of the Road Festival that fall in support of the release. The band released a follow-up soon thereafter with 2014's "Sitcom Afterlife", which detailed a breakup in Milia's life with "lyrics as dense as a Faulkner novel," according to Paste Magazine.

paragraph: In the summer of 2015, Milia and Frontier Ruckus recorded their 5th LP "Enter the Kingdom" in Nashville with Ken Coomer, founding member of Wilco and final drummer for Uncle Tupelo. Coomer co-produced and played drums on the album. In December 2016, Milia spoke with Rolling Stone, who announced the album was due out in February 2017 and premiered a music video for the single "27 Dollars." In July 2017, Milia spoke with Billboard about taking time off from touring to work on a new Frontier Ruckus album, his upcoming solo album, and the music video for "Enter the Kingdom", which premiered on their site.

paragraph: In a positive review of "Enter the Kingdom" for Noisey, legendary rock critic Robert Christgau wrote of Milia: "Somebody marry this winsome sad sack, whose increasingly plausible rhymes now include open-ibuprofen, gauche-precocious-neurosis, salad on the tennis court-valid passport, speckled melanin-freckled up your skin, and the very sexy errands-gerunds."

paragraph: Fellow songwriters such as Ryan Adams have been vocal fans of Milia's work, with Adams tweeting: "...this is what I want to get back to. Those tunes go forever..." Lady Lamb listed Frontier Ruckus as one of her favorite bands in an interview with NPR's Tom Ashbrook.

paragraph: Milia sang a duet with Samantha Crain on her song "Santa Fe", also appearing in the music video shot in Santa Fe.

paragraph: As a pedal steel guitarist, Milia has performed or recorded with Cotton Jones, Anna Burch, Bonny Doon, Ohtis, Chris Bathgate, and others.

paragraph: Milia lives in Detroit where he regularly produces poetry and visual art, typically released directly to fans over the internet.

paragraph: In 2015, Milia's Detroit home which he shared with bandmate Anna Burch was featured on the interior design website Apartment Therapy.

paragraph: Section::::"Alone at St. Hugo".

paragraph: Matthew Milia released his debut solo studio album, "Alone at St. Hugo" on May 3, 2019. Recorded on a Tascam 388 reel-to-reel tape recorder, the entire album was performed by Milia and engineer Ben Collins in Ypsilanti, Michigan from 2016-2018. In an interview with Metro Times, Milia described the set of highly melodic power pop songs that constitute the album as a result of shirking music industry expectations and remaining prolific as a writer for purer reasons, saying, "It's the writing part that I still wake up every day and want to do."

paragraph: Thematically, the album deals with concepts of aging and memory—as does much of Milia's songwriting. The title references the Catholic grade school Milia attended in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. WDET commented that "Milia’s lyrics come from an immersive vantage and sea-like memory, an all at once haunting yet comforting nostalgia." Speaking on-air with them, Milia elaborated:

paragraph: St. Hugo was the Catholic school I attended for 9 years—as Frontier Ruckus is a building I’ve been in for 10 years. I like to write about spaces that I’ve inhabited for a long time, like Metro Detroit, which has been the building of my life for my entire lifespan. Chronicling how those places change over time, and how age kind of confuses and how all these eras of experience blur together—kind of like how the municipalities and townships of Metro Detroit blur together. There’s kind of a classroom motif that goes through the album, hence the title. I think the title occurred to me originally because I was fantasizing about communicating with my 5th-grade self in the computer lab after-school in latchkey waiting for my mom to pick me up—like if I could talk to myself through the early modem, my adult self talking to my 5th-grade self, the things I would say and how I would translate my experience and vice versa.

paragraph: BrooklynVegan called the album "a gorgeous dose of indie folk," as it features lush layers of vocal harmony accompanied by mellotron, trumpet, cello, mandolin, Hammond organ, and pedal steel guitar.

paragraph: Tascam, the makers of the vintage recording gear on which the album was recorded, issued a statement about the album from the company's social media, saying, "We're big fans of Detroit artist Matthew Milia...this is some gorgeous music!" Big Star, one of Matthew Milia's biggest stated influences, also enthusiastically acknowledged the fact that Milia wore a Big Star t-shirt in the album cover photomontage.

paragraph: Alex González (musician)

paragraph: Alejandro González Trujillo (born February 24, 1969, Miami, Florida, United States) is an American musician of Cuban and Colombian extraction. He is a member, drummer and songwriter for the Mexican band Maná and metal band De La Tierra. He is nicknamed "El Animal" and has sung lead vocals on several songs, such as the single "Me Vale". Alex discovered his passion for playing the drums at the young age of 5 when he caught the attention of a kindergarten teacher who gave him a red sparkle drumkit. He took to the instrument very seriously and found himself a teacher shortly thereafter.

paragraph: Alex was in Maná by age fifteen which hit it big in 1992 with the album "¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?", which was certified gold in the U.S. Alex cites influences such as Ringo Starr, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart and Terry Bozzio.

paragraph: Maná has been a big part of the Rock En Español phenomenon in the United States. They began playing in the United States in 1993 and influenced other bands with their success to play in the U.S., too. Alex is quoted as saying, "I think it’s incredible that Spanish language bands like ours can sell millions of albums and sell out arenas in the U.S. It’s also cool to see how many “anglos” are now getting hooked on our music." His talent has been featured in "Modern Drummer Magazine", "Drummerworld", "Drum", among others. He performs exclusively with DW Drums (formerly has used Pearl Drums), Remo, Paiste and Vic Firth.

paragraph: Eric Williams (writer)

paragraph: Eric Williams MC (13 July 1911 – 24 December 1983) was an English writer and former Second World War RAF pilot and prisoner of war (POW) who wrote several books dealing with his escapes from prisoner-of-war camps, most famously in his 1949 novel "The Wooden Horse", made into a 1950 movie of the same name.

paragraph: Section::::Capture.

paragraph: RAF Flight Lieutenant Eric Williams was the navigator of a 75 Squadron Short Stirling bomber (BK620) shot down on a bombing raid over Germany on 17/18 December 1942. He evaded capture for three days, but was eventually caught and sent to Oflag XXI-B at Schubin in Poland. There he quickly formed a friendship with Lieutenant Michael Codner, who spoke French, and together they planned and executed an escape through a tunnel. However, they were quickly recaptured and, as punishment, sent to Stalag Luft III in Sagan (now Żagań in Poland).

paragraph: Section::::The "Wooden Horse" and escape.

paragraph: As described in his novelization of the true events "The Wooden Horse", Stalag Luft III was designed to be a highly escape-resistant camp. Tunnelling in particular was made harder by the use of numerous environmental and technological solutions: the perimeter fence was placed some distance from the huts, necessitating longer tunnels; the soil in the chosen location changed colour markedly when dry, making disposal of freshly dug tunnel soil difficult; and the Germans employed seismographs to measure vibration caused by digging.

paragraph: Williams and Codner came up with the idea of constructing a vaulting horse and using it to mask the opening of a tunnel entrance closer to the perimeter fence, while the other camp inmates vaulted continuously over the horse to mask the vibration of the tunnelling work. Sand was carried back inside the horse and dried in the attic of the camp canteen before being distributed in the compound.

paragraph: In fact, Williams was not the first to use a vaulting horse to disguise a tunnel entrance. This was originally thought of by two RAF officers, Peter Tunstall and Dominic Bruce (the 'Medium Sized Man') in Spangenberg in 1941.

paragraph: With the assistance of a third POW, Oliver Philpot, the tunnel was completed by 29 October 1943 – an important factor, as the Escape Committee only had local railway timetables valid until the end of October. Williams, Codner and Philpot planned to use the local railway to quickly put distance between themselves and the camp, rather than the usual escape strategy at the time of travelling on foot at night and hiding in barns or haystacks during the day.

paragraph: Posing as French labourers, the trio made their way by train to the Baltic; Philpot headed to Danzig, while Williams and Codner made their way to Stettin, where they eventually managed to make contact with the Danish Resistance and gain passage on a ship to Copenhagen and thence to Gothenburg in neutral Sweden. There they met Philpot, who had been able to travel more quickly to Sweden via Danzig. From Sweden, all three officers were repatriated to Britain.

paragraph: After his return to active duty, the RAF immediately posted Williams to the Philippines, where he worked with American forces for the remainder of the war.

paragraph: Section::::Writing career.

paragraph: At the end of the war, on the long sea voyage home, Williams wrote "Goon In The Block", a short book based on his experiences. Four years later, in 1949, he rewrote it as a much longer third-person narrative under the title "The Wooden Horse". He included many details omitted in his previous book, but changed his name to "Peter Howard", Michael Codner to "John Clinton" and Oliver Philpot to "Philip Rowe".

paragraph: Two years later, he wrote "The Tunnel", a prequel to "The Wooden Horse" that described his and Codner's escape from Oflag XXIB.

paragraph: Williams also amassed a substantial collection of escape literature and published several anthologies of excerpts from this collection.

paragraph: Section::::Postwar.

paragraph: Eduard Seler

paragraph: Eduard Georg Seler (December 5, 1849 – November 23, 1922) was a prominent German anthropologist, ethnohistorian, linguist, epigrapher, academic and Americanist scholar, who made extensive contributions in these fields towards the study of pre-Columbian era cultures in the Americas. He is most renowned for his foundational studies concerning the ethnography, documents and history of Mesoamerican cultures, for which he is regarded as one of the most influential Mesoamericanist scholars active around the turn of the 20th century. Seler laid many fundamentals in understanding and deciphering the aztec pictorial script. A main contribution was the re-discovery and analysis of the basic aztec calendar system: the existence of two aztec calendars, a 365-day solar profane (everyday use) resp. a 263-day lunar religious calendar.

paragraph: He also noted from the sources, that the ceremonial killing victim figures alleged by Spanish priests and military (10.000s or even 100.000s, repeatedly) in their chronicles were most probably vastly exaggerated propaganda. Much later, that was confirmed by excavations end of the 20th century.

paragraph: Being poor and of ailing health, he was helped and supported for decades by his wife Cäcilie (Cecilia) Seler-Sachs (1855–1935, financially (she was the daughter of Dr Sachs, a wealthy MD), physically (during their long, hard, and insecure travels), and intellectually. Her photos of Aztec temples and pyramids are still useful to scientists, and after her husband's death she went on verifying his works, and publishing them. On the spot, the Selers were helped by Mexican scholar and historian Antonio Peñafiel.

paragraph: Matilda of Holstein

paragraph: Matilda of Holstein or Mechthild (1220 or 1225 – 1288 in Kiel) was a Danish queen consort, married to King Abel of Denmark and later to Birger Jarl, Regent of Sweden.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Matilda was the daughter of Adolf IV, Count of Holstein, and Heilwig of Lippe. On 25 April 1237 she was married to Abel of Denmark in Schleswig. The marriage was arranged to form a tie between Holstein and Sønderjylland. In 1239, Abel became the guardian of her minor brothers.

paragraph: When Abel became king in 1250, she was crowned with him in Roskilde on 1 November. When Abel died in 1252, he was succeeded by his brother rather than her son Valdemar, who was imprisoned at Cologne at the time, and she was forced to leave Denmark and enter a convent.

paragraph: She managed to get her son Valdemar released from the captivity of the Archbishop of Cologne and fought for the inheritance of her children in the Duchy of Schleswig. In 1253, she secured the Duchy of Sønderjylland for her son Valdemar.

paragraph: In 1260, her son Valdemar died, and she secured the Duchy for her next son, Erik. The same year, however, she pawned the areas Eider and Schlei in southern Denmark to her brothers.

paragraph: She made a pact with Jacob Erlandsen, archbishop of Lund, and then broke her vows of the convent by marrying the Swedish regent Birger Jarl in 1261. After the death of Birger in 1266, she moved to Kiel.

paragraph: In 1288, shortly before her death, she gave up Eider and Schlei to her brothers. She was unpopular in Denmark, where she was called the "daughter of the Devil" and accused of destroying letters from the Pope and emperor to King Valdemar II.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: Queen Matilda bore her first husband three sons and a daughter:

paragraph: Georg Carl Amdrup

paragraph: Vice Admiral Sir Georg Carl Amdrup (Copenhagen, Denmark, November 19, 1866 – Copenhagen, January 15, 1947), RN was a Danish naval officer, Vice Admiral and Greenland researcher.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1884, Amdrup, of the Royal Danish Navy, was sent to Amassalik. After wintering, he explored the coast to the north, including an examination of the Kangerlussuaq Fjord, known until then only from Inuit reports. He mapped a large length of coastline while collecting many geological and ethnological finds. By July 1885, he reached Aggas Island (67° 22' North), the furthest north of this survey.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Carlsbergfondet Expedition til Ost-Gronland.

paragraph: Lieutenant Amdrup was the leader of a major Danish expedition in 1898-1900, the Carlsberg Fund Expedition to East Greenland (Carlsbergfondet Expedition til Ost-Gronland). With him were botanist Christian Krause, ornithologist Knud Poulsen, and the sailors, A. Jakobsen and Soren P. Nielsen. They left Copenhagen on August 16, 1898, sailing from Copenhagen in the vessel "Godthaab", and reaching Amassalik ("Angmagssalik") on 31 August. The purpose of the expedition was to identify and examine the then completely unexplored stretch of coast between the 66th parallel north and Scoresbysund at about 70th parallel north. The following year, they traveled the coast north to 67° 22' North, establishing several depots to use for future travel north.

paragraph: During this expedition, Amdrup found the remains of a small, extinct Eskimo settlement. From this find, he brought to Denmark in 1899 a significant ethnographic collection.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:The East-Greenland Coast Expedition, 1900.

paragraph: In 1899, Alfred Gabriel Nathorst sold the "Antarctic" to Amdrup. On June 15, 1900, Amdrup took an 11-man expedition to East Greenland. This expedition, which cartographer Johan Peter Koch joined, was also known as the 'Carlsberg Foundation Expedition'. The survey was to explore the coast between Cape Brewster and Aggas Island. They arrived at Little Pendulum Island, before continuing to Cape Dalton (69°25 N) in mid July where they divided into two parties. While the expedition's second in command, Nikolaj Hartz, stayed with the "Antarctic" and examined the country up to Scoresbysund and fjords to the north, Amdrup endured great hardship and dangers further south in a small boat "Aggas" that navigated through the ice belt in the polar stream and mapped an uncharted route.

paragraph: During the part of the expedition in "Aggas", a long, wide open boat that carried Amdrup, three others including Ejnar Mikkelsen, plus of supplies, Amdrup found a dwelling containing the remains of 38 bodies, from which he inferred that Inuit had been trying to colonize the area. Amdrup and his men were even accused of killing the 38 people, but it was later ascertained that they had starved to death. Having established the fact that there were no other Eskimos on the eastern side of the island other than are known to the Danish missionaries, Amdrup's skeleton find was unusual.

paragraph: Amdrup and his men were picked up by the ship "Antarctic" at Amassalik in September and he returned to Denmark on October 4, with significant collections of botanical, geological, and zoological, specimens. Part of the natural history collection that Amdrup brought back included a live musk ox and ten lemming. He published the expedition results in the "Notice of Grønland", XXVII-XXIX. Swedish and English expeditions that were ongoing at the time did not report the considerable progress that the Danish expedition under Amdrup was able to show.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Danmark Expedition to Greenland's Northeast Coast, 1906-1908.

paragraph: From 1905, Amdrup worked as an Adjutant to his friend, Prince Valdemar of Denmark. He was a member of the Committee for the Denmark expedition to Greenland's northeast coast 1906-1908, and, as the expedition historian, Amdrup wrote the expedition history in the "Notice of Grønland", XLI.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Later years.

paragraph: In 1913, he was appointed to the Greenland Commission, (1931: Commission for scientific studies in Greenland) of which he was chairman from 1930 until 1931. In 1937, he took over the publication of "Meddelelser om Grønland". He was a member of the editorial board of "Grønland in tohundredåret for Hans Egede's Land". Amdrup was promoted to the rank of commander in 1916. In 1925, he was promoted to rear admiral in 1925, and was the Commander of the "Niels Iuel". From 1927, he was Vice Admiral Sir Georg Amdrup.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and honors.

paragraph: At the winter 1900-01 meeting of the Royal Danish Geographical Society held in the Copenhagen Concert Hall, Amdrup was honored with a Medal of Merit in gold. He also received other medals from several foreign geographical societies, including the Royal Geographical Society in 1902, and the Royal Geographical Society's Back grant. In 1913, Mikkelsen dedicated his book, "Being the story of the 'Alabama' expedition, 1909-1912" to Amdrup.

paragraph: Amdrup Land () in northeastern Greenland was named after him by the Denmark expedition. Another landform named in his honor is Amdrup Fjord .

paragraph: The Shipbuilding & Engineering Company's ship "G.C. Amdrup" is also named for him. Also named on his behalf is "Leptognathia amdrupii", which was considered for transfer to the genus Chauliopleona by 2000 and transferred to "Chauliopleona amdrupii" by 2005.

Taylor Penetrated the Confederate's Lines and Gained Valuable Information. Conspicuous for Bravery.

paragraph: Capt. William Taylor, of the First Maryland Regiment, G.A.R., aged 66 years, died at his home, 19 Fairview avenue, yesterday morning. His death was caused by wounds received during the Civil War. A few weeks ago, Captain Taylor complained of the wounds. On last Tuesday, he was taken seriously ill. He grew worse, and his doctor said that the wounds were the immediate cause of his death. He is survived by his wife, Ruth M., and two sons and one daughter. Captain Taylor was a member of Union Veteran Legion, No. 109, Wilson Post and the Medal of Honor Legion. Funeral services will be held from his home Wednesday afternoon with military orders. The remains will be interred at the National Cemetery. Rev. Mr. Charles House, pastor of the Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, will officiate. Joseph Cook, undertaker, will have charge of the arrangements.

paragraph: Captain Taylor's military career is distinguished by two most daring deeds. The first was the burning of a bridge at Front Royal, Va., May 23, 1862, where a detachment of Stonewall Jackson's force fell upon and routed a body of General Banks, with a loss of 904 men. Captain Taylor, in company with another man, volunteered to rush forward, in the face of a deadly fire from the enemy, and destroy this bridge to prevent the Confederates from crossing. The rush was made in safety, although shot fell all around them until they neared the place where they were to fire the bridge.

paragraph: Here Captain Taylor's companion was killed, and he himself was severely wounded in the right hand. Nevertheless, he succeeded in firing the bridge, and so prevented an attack by the Confederates.

paragraph: His second notable adventure took place at the Weldon Railroad, Virginia, August 19, 1864, after he had been promoted to be a lieutenant. On the evening of August 19, during a heavy rain, the Confederates charged with a yell. The brigade was on the extreme left with the brigade of regulars on the Maryland's right, who broke and ran. Later the Southerners retreated, and the Marylanders held the ground until the regulars were brought back. That night a regiment of the Marylanders was sent out on picket line, which they left and came into camp. Captain Taylor was detailed, with Captain McClellan, of General Ayer's staff, with 16 men and a sergeant, to reconnoiter the enemy's position. Leaving the men inside the lines, Captain McClellan, Captain Taylor, and the sergeant got through the enemy's lines and arrived near a house where Heath, the Confederate general, had his headquarters.

paragraph: Captain McClellan and Taylor started to return to their men, leaving the sergeant behind, but were captured on the way, the sergeant being taken shortly after. The Maryland Brigade was sent to Petersburg the next day and from there to Richmond, and remained in Libby Prison about two months, until Fort Harrison, some four miles below, was taken. Later on Captain Taylor managed to escape in company with two other officers.

paragraph: Captain Taylor entered the service as a sergeant in Company H, First Maryland Regiment, May 27, 1861; promoted second lieutenant Company C, April 12, 1863; Captain Company E, June 7, 1865. He was mustered out of service, with his company, July 2, 1865. Captain Taylor received a medal of honor for his gallantry at Front Royal, Va., May 23, 1862. In the battle of Petersburg, August 14, 1864, which lasted three hours, and when several of the color bearers were shot down, Captain Taylor took the banner and carried it until relieved by a newly appointed bearer. Captain Taylor was severely wounded in the leg, from which he never recovered.
