<mask> (May 16, 1917 – September 1, 2015) was the only American of Japanese descent in the United States Army Air Forces to serve in combat operations in the Pacific theater of World War II. He flew a total of 58 combat missions over Europe, North Africa, and Japan during World War II. Childhood and Army enlistment
<mask> was born in Gothenburg, Nebraska to Japanese immigrants, Shosuke and Naka (née Yokoyama) Kuroki on May 16, 1917; they had 10 children. When <mask> was a year old the <mask> family relocated to Hershey, Nebraska, where they owned and operated a farm. The Lincoln County town had a population of about 500. He attended Hershey High School and was the Vice-President of his senior class, graduating in 1936. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, <mask>'s father encouraged him and his brother Fred to enlist in the U.S. Military.The brothers were initially rejected by the recruiters in Grand Island, so they tried again at North Platte, where their enlistment was processed without any questions — perhaps, as a humorous story suggests, the recruiters thought that Kuroki was a Polish name. In retelling the enlistment story, <mask>i said the recruiter in North Platte told him that nationality was not a problem as he made $2 for every recruit. Later, two other brothers, Bill and Henry Kuroki also served in the military during the war. When <mask> and Fred enlisted in the U.S. Army they were among the first Nisei to do so. After enlisting they were sent to basic training at Sheppard Field, Texas in January 1942, not much more than a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Military career
Assigned to the 93rd Bombardment Group at Fort Myers, Florida, he was told that Japanese Americans would not be allowed to serve overseas. In 1942 Kuroki

His crew was released by the Spanish after three months. After the U.S. Department of State secured his release, he returned to England and rejoined his squadron. On August 1, 1943, he participated in the bombing mission known as Operation Tidal Wave, an effort to destroy the major oil refinery located in Ploiești, Romania. Kuroki flew 30 combat missions in the European theater, when the regular enlistment only required 25. After a medical review, he was allowed to fly 5 more missions above the mandated enlistment.Kuroki said he did so for his brother Fred, who was still stationed stateside. On his 30th mission he was slightly injured when his gun turret was hit by flak. During rest and recovery back in the United States, Kuroki was directed by the Army to visit a number of Japanese American internment camps in order to encourage able-bodied males to enlist in the U.S. military. Kuroki was the subject of a number of news articles including one in Time magazine. Kuroki requested but was denied the opportunity to participate in the Pacific theater. Only after the intervention of Henry Stimson, the Secretary of War was that request granted. Kuroki was later permitted to join the crew of a B-29 Superfortress (who named its plane Sad Saki after Kuroki) in the 484th Squadron, 505th Bombardment Group, 20th U.S. Army Air

After another 28 missions in the Pacific Theater, Kuroki was awarded a third Distinguished Flying Cross as well as the Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters. By the end of the war, <mask>i had completed 58 combat missions and was promoted to the rank of Technical Sergeant. The New York Times recalled in an editorial on December 7, 1991, the 50th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, how “Gen. George Marshall asked to meet [Kuroki]; so did Generals Bradley, Spaatz, Wainwright and Jimmy Doolittle.”

Advocacy efforts
Fiercely patriotic, but understanding first-hand some of the racial and other inequalities people of color had to endure, after the war Kuroki continued to speak about the need for racial equality and against racial prejudice.He engaged in a series of speaking tours discussing these issues, which he funded with his own savings and with minor donations, including proceeds from Ralph G. Martin's biography written about him entitled Boy From Nebraska: The Story of <mask> (1946). When asked about his battle to overcome prejudice which almost prevented him from being allowed to participate in overseas aerial combat missions, Kuroki stated, "I had to fight like hell for the right to fight for my own country". Post-military career
<mask> later attended the University of Nebraska, attaining a Bachelor's degree in journalism in 1950. He was a reporter and editor for a

<mask> (; 13 January 1970 – 14 February 2004) was an Italian road racing cyclist, widely regarded among the greatest, if not the greatest, climbing specialist in the history of the sport by measures of his legacy, credits from other riders, and records. He recorded the fastest ever climbs up the Tour’s iconic venues of Mont Ventoux (46:00) and Alpe d'Huez (36:50), and all-time greats including Lance Armstrong and Charly Gaul have hailed <mask>’s superior climbing skills. He won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia in 1998, being the sixth Italian after Ottavio Bottecchia, Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, Felice Gimondi and Gastone Nencini to win the Tour de France. He is the last cyclist, and one of only seven, to win the Giro and the Tour in the same year. <mask>'s attacking style and aggressive riding turned him into a fan favorite in the late 1990s. He was known as "Il Pirata" (English: "The Pirate") because of his shaven head and the bandana and earrings he wore. At  and , he was said to have the classic build for a mountain climber.His style has been contrasted with that of time-trialling experts such as the five-times Tour winner Miguel Indurain. Although <mask> never tested positive during his career, his career was beset by doping allegations. In the 1999 Giro d'Italia, he was expelled due to his irregular blood values. Although he was disqualified for "health reasons", it was implied that <mask>'s high haematocrit was the product of EPO use. Following later accusations, <mask> went into a severe depression from which he never fully recovered. He died of acute cocaine poisoning in 2004. Early life and amateur career

 born on 13 January 1970 in Cesena, Romagna, the son of Ferdinando (referred to as Paolo) and Tonina.He joined the Fausto Coppi cycling club of Cesenatico at the age of eleven. As an amateur, he won the 1992 Girobio, the amateur version of the Giro d'Italia, after finishing third in 1990 and second in 1991. Professional career

1992–1996: Early years
His success at the Girobio led to his turning professional for the remainder of the 1992 season with Davide Boifava's . While signing the contract, barely above the minimum established, he asked Boifava what would happen if he were to win the Giro d'Italia or the Tour de France, requesting a change in the contract. He finished 12th in his first professional race, the Gran Premio Città di Camaiore. In 1993, his first full season as a professional, he finished fifth at the mountainous course of Giro del Trentino and debuted at the Giro d'Italia in order to help his team leader, Claudio Chiappucci. He was forced to abandon the race in the 18th stage due to tendinitis.In 1994, he finished fourth at the Giro del Trentino and the Giro di Toscana before his second participation at the Giro d'Italia, where he was supposed to help Chiappucci. He won two consecutive mountain stages, earning his first victory as a professional in the fourteenth stage to Merano. In the following stage to Aprica, which featured the renowned Stelvio Pass and the Mortirolo Pass, <mask> attacked at the base of Mortirolo and broke free at the Valico di Santa Cristina to win the stage at Aprica and place second in the overall classification. He ultimately finished the race behind Eugeni Berzin but ahead of Miguel Indurain, who

 had won the two previous Giros. That same year <mask> made his Tour de France debut, coming in third and winning the young rider classification along the way. In 1995, he was hit by a car while training, preventing him from riding the Giro, but he rode the Tour and won stages at Alpe d'Huez and Guzet-Neige. He also finished thirteenth and claimed his second successive best young rider prize.He also won a stage at the Tour de Suisse and finished third in the 1995 World Championships road race in Duitama, Colombia, behind Spaniards Abraham Olano and Miguel Indurain. Shortly after returning to Italy, he collided head-on with a car during the Italian Milano–Torino race, sustaining multiple fractures to the left tibia and fibula, injuries that threatened his career and forced him to miss most of the 1996 season. 1997: Move to Mercatone Uno

When Carrera Jeans manufacturers stopped sponsoring the renowned Italian cycling team  at the end of 1996, a new team based in Italy was formed with <mask> as the team leader. Luciano Pezzi founded , taking with him as directeur sportifs Giuseppe Martinelli, Davide Cassani and Alessandro Giannelli and ten of the riders from Carrera. <mask> returned to the Giro in 1997, but he was injured when a black cat caused an accident in front of him during one of the first stages. Even though he completed the stage, he was treated at a hospital for a muscle injury in the same leg he had hurt in 1995. He returned to action at the 1997 Tour de France and won two stages in the Alps, establishing a record time for the climb of Alpe d'Huez and winning two days later at Morzine.Jan Ullrich won, with <mask> third behind

 Richard Virenque. In 1997, <mask> rode the final 14.5 km to L`Alpe d`Huez in 37'35" minutes, which is the record to this day based on 14.5 km. Since the actual climb is just 13.8 km long, <mask>'s time in 1997 was 36'55" minutes based on 13.8 km. His personal record for 13.8 km was in 1995, when he rode the climb in 36'50" minutes, which remains the fastest ascent time to this day. He also holds the second and third fastest time at 36'55" in 1997 and 37'15" in 1994, followed by Lance Armstrong at 37'36" in 2004 and Jan Ullrich at 37'41" in 1997. 1998: Giro and Tour wins

In 1998, <mask> was considered a favorite to win the Giro d'Italia. Other contenders included Alex Zülle, 1996 winner Pavel Tonkov and 1997 winner Ivan Gotti.Zülle won the initial prologue in Nice and also won the sixth stage to Lago Laceno, but <mask> recovered some time in the mountain stage to Piancavallo. <mask> lost further time to his main rivals during the fifteenth stage, an individual time trial in Trieste. By that point, <mask> faced a disadvantage of almost four minutes to Zülle before the Dolomites mountain stages and an individual time trial on the penultimate stage, a discipline that favored Zülle and Tonkov. In the seventeenth stage to Selva di Val Gardena, <mask> took the maglia rosa, the leader's jersey, for the first time in his career after attacking Zülle on the Marmolada climb. Although <mask> crossed the finish line behind Giuseppe Guerini, he finished over four minutes ahead of Zülle, maintaining an advantage of thirty seconds on the general classification over Tonkov, thirty-one seconds on Guerini and over a minute on Zülle. In the following stage to

In the eighteenth stage to Plan di Montecampione, he repeatedly attacked Tonkov, dropping him in the last three kilometers and winning the stage to face the individual time trial on the penultimate stage with a lead of almost a minute and a half.Zülle lost contact with the favorites in the first climb and ended up losing over thirty minutes. Having won over two minutes on <mask> in the previous time trial, Tonkov was considered superior to <mask> on the time trial discipline, but the Italian finished third in the penultimate stage, gaining an additional five seconds on Tonkov. <mask> was thus able to maintain his lead to win the Giro d'Italia with a minute and a half over Tonkov and more than six minutes over Guerini. He also won the Mountains classification and finished second in the Points classification. In the Tour de France, <mask> started the race by finishing 181st of 189 riders in the opening prologue, and losing over four minutes in the first individual time trial to 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich. <mask> pulled back these early time losses to Ullrich, first in the Pyrenees by taking 23 seconds off Ullrich in the stage to Luchon and winning the stage to Plateau de Beille, where he took an additional minute and forty seconds from Ullrich. Although he was still three minutes behind Ullrich after the Pyrenees, he defeated him by almost nine minutes in the first mountain stage in the Alps, from Grenoble to Les Deux Alpes, via the Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du

He stopped to put on a rain jacket at the summit to win on the final ascent to Deux Alpes. <mask> turned his three-minute deficit on Ullrich into a six-minute advantage that he maintained in the following stages to win the Tour de France ahead of Jan Ullrich and Bobby Julich. <mask> became the first Italian since Felice Gimondi in 1965 to win the Tour and the seventh rider in history to achieve the Giro-Tour double, a feat which no one had achieved since Miguel Indurain succeeded in 1993. As of 2021, he is the last rider to win the Giro and the Tour in the same year. Following his success in the Tour, he stated that he may have won the cleanest Tour because of the fear of police following the Festina affair. Although he had just ended what would be his most successful season and he had always dreamed about winning the yellow jersey, he later stated that he felt more alone than ever.French cycling magazine Vélo Magazine awarded him the Velo d'Or as the best rider of 1998. 1999: Expelled at Madonna di Campiglio
In 1999, <mask> started the season by winning a stage and the overall classification of Vuelta a Murcia as well as a stage at the Setmana Catalana de Ciclisme. <mask> was leading the Giro d'Italia, with only one mountain stage left, when a blood test at Madonna di Campiglio showed that he had a 52-percent hematocrit reading, above the 50-percent upper limit set by UCI. He was expelled from the race and forced to take a two-week break from racing, with no further action taken. Although the hematocrit test is officially branded as a

Years later news emerged that said drug test may have been rigged by Italian organised crime running illegal bets and interested in having <mask> not winning the Giro.

He lost time and could not attack until the last mountain stage to Briançon, in which he helped his teammate Stefano Garzelli to win. <mask> rode the 2000 Tour de France. He was off the pace in the Pyrenees, but matched Lance Armstrong on Mont Ventoux, leaving the field behind.Armstrong eased and appeared to allow <mask> the stage victory. <mask> said that he felt insulted by the gesture, causing bad feelings between the two which were exacerbated when Armstrong referred to him as Elefantino (Italian for "Little Elephant"), a reference to his prominent ears. In that same Tour, he won another stage, to Courchevel, that turned out to be his last victory as a professional. At that point, he was sixth in the overall classification, facing a disadvantage of nine minutes to Armstrong. On the next

He never raced the Tour again. Later in the year, he represented Italy in the Sydney Olympics Road Race, finishing 69th.After that, he raced sporadically in 2001 and 2002, although he was demoralised from doping suspicions and had poor results. During the 2001 Giro d'Italia, Italian police raided the rooms of riders from all 20 teams and a syringe containing traces of insulin was found in <mask>'s room. He was banned for eight months by the Italian Cycling Federation but later won an appeal due to an absence of proof. In 2003, <mask> made another comeback in the Giro d'Italia, finishing 14th overall. His best stage result was a fifth position after launching an unsuccessful attack on the slopes of Monte Zoncolan, while he launched his last attacks on the nineteenth stage to Cascata del Toce. It was the last time he rode a professional cycling race. After his team was not invited to the 2003 Tour de France, it was speculated that he would join Bianchi in order to ride the Tour, but he made a plea for privacy in late June following his admission to a psychiatric clinic which specialised in nervous disorders, drug addiction and alcoholism.After being released from the clinic, he was acquitted of a pending court case for sporting fraud regarding his blood values in 1999 Giro d'Italia because doping was not considered a crime in 1999. <mask> told an Italian newspaper that cycling fans had to forget about <mask> as an athlete, while stating that cycling

After being disqualified at the 1999 Giro d'Italia for a hematocrit reading of 52 percent, above the 50-percent upper limit set by UCI, <mask> faced persistent allegations of doping throughout the rest of his career. The trial for the 1999 Giro d'Italia irregular blood values began in April 2003 and <mask> was eventually acquitted because doping was not considered a crime by the law at that time. In early June 1999, a few days after <mask> was expelled from the 1999 Giro d'Italia, a court condemned the city of Turin to compensate him for an accident in the 1995 edition of the Milano–Torino, which forced <mask> to undergo several surgeries and a long recovery to get back on his bike. A few days later, Italian prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello accused <mask> of a "sporting offence" after he discovered, by looking through trial and medical records, that <mask>'s hematocrit after the accident was over 60 percent. Although the results did not surface until 1999, the UCI had decided to implement blood testing in early 1997, imposing a 50-percent upper limit for hematocrit.A rider with a value above 50 percent was given a compulsory two-week suspension. The test was designated as a "health test", although it was administered on suspicion that the athlete was using the banned blood-boosting drug, EPO. During the proceeding, investigators tried to find a reason for <mask>'s high hematocrit values, including an hematocrit value of 57.6% recorded on 1 May 1995, at a hospital after he had an accident while training, an investigation in which the doctor pointed out the presence of


texts: abnormal hematological values. Upon Guariniello's request to see <mask>'s medical record after his accident at the 1997 Giro d'Italia, it was revealed that the blood test results had disappeared from the folder at the hospital and the police did not rule out "intentional removal". <mask> was eventually indicted on a so-called "fraud in sport", but his lawyers argued that <mask>'s hematocrit may have been elevated by a combination of training at high altitude in September, suffering from dehydration during the race, trauma of his accident and a margin of error for the sampling method. The original case started in Turin but was moved to Forlì upon <mask>'s lawyers' requests. Although he initially received a three-month suspended sentence, <mask>'s lawyers appealed and the case was dismissed in late 2001 because the law itself had been passed only in 1999.In 1999, the Italian newspaper la Repubblica published information that linked <mask> to an investigation on the use of performance-enhancing substances in Italian sports. According to the information released by the newspaper, Francesco Conconi administered EPO to Italian athletes from 1993 to 1998, including <mask> and other cyclists of . It was revealed that <mask>'s name appeared on a file marked "Dblab", seized from Conconi's Biomedical Research Institute at Ferrara, which detailed athlete's hematocrit levels between 1993 and 1995. In 1994, his haematocrit values fluctuated from 40.7% on 16 March, early in the season, to 54.55% on 23 May, during the first stages of the Giro d'Italia. His values reached 58% on 8 June, after winning two stages of the race, and were 57.4% on 27 July, after


texts: the Tour de France. In March 1995, his hematocrit values had dropped to 45%, but they reached 56% in July during the Tour de France, where he won two stages; and over 60% in October, after the accident in the Milano–Torino. In 2004, Conconi and his two assistants were acquitted by judge Franca Oliva because the actions were not deemed illegal at the time, although they were deemed "morally guilty" of promoting doping.During the 2001 Giro d'Italia, a syringe containing traces of insulin was found in <mask>'s room. <mask> claimed that the insulin had been planted and that he did not stay in the room that night. In 2002, he was banned for eight months by the Italian Cycling Federation, but he later won an appeal due to an absence of proof. In 2006, two years after his death, <mask> was linked to the Operación Puerto doping case. According to documentation released by Spanish radio network Cadena SER, <mask> was allegedly given the code name "PTNI" by Eufemiano Fuentes, with a detailed program in 2003, his last season, including EPO, growth hormone, Insulin, Levothroid and IGF-1. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera indicated that he was administered over 40,000 units of EPO, seven doses of growth hormone, thirty doses of anabolic steroids and four doses of hormones used to treat menopause. In 2006, Jesús Manzano, a Spanish professional road racing cyclist whose statements led the Guardia Civil to conduct the Operación Puerto investigation, disclosed in an interview with French television channel France 3 that <mask> was a client of Fuentes.On the penultimate stage of 1998 Giro d'Italia, <mask>'s teammate Riccardo Forconi was expelled from the

 race for an haematocrit value above 50 percent. Ivano Fanini, the manager of , suggested during the early stages of 1999 Giro d'Italia that <mask> and Forconi had exchanged their blood samples in order to avoid <mask>'s disqualification. According to Fanini, Forconi's haematocrit value was only 47 percent the previous day. In 2008, Fanini further claimed that Forconi had received a house for the exchange but Forconi refuted these claims. Matt Rendell's biography of <mask> suggests he used recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) throughout his professional career. It alleges that seasonal hematocrit levels from several sources showed variations which exceeded those possible naturally, and that <mask>'s main victories were probably won also thanks to blood hematocrit levels which could have been up to 60%. A French senate report into doping released in July 2013 confirmed that <mask> had tested positive for EPO during retroactive testing of samples from the 1998 Tour de France conducted in 2004.Death

In the early evening of 14 February 2004, <mask> was found dead at a hotel in Rimini, Italy. An autopsy revealed he had cerebral edema and heart failure, and a coroner's inquest revealed acute cocaine poisoning. <mask> spent the last days of his life isolated from his friends and family and barricaded himself inside his hotel room. <mask>'s ex-girlfriend Christina Jonsson, in an April 2004 interview to Swiss news magazine L'Hebdo, indicated that following his expulsion from the 1999 Giro d'Italia, <mask> had confessed to her he had started using cocaine.

The conviction was overturned in 2011 by the Court of Cassation after the acting Prosecutor expressed doubts regarding the verdict, while stating that he "had the impression that the exaggerated media publicity surrounding Mr. <mask>'s death led the judges to an excessive attribution of responsibility." In 2016 the case was opened again, but shelved, and then yet again; with Italian prosecutors citing about fifty pages of new evidence to consider, in November 2021.<mask> was buried in his hometown, Cesenatico. Twenty thousand mourners were at his funeral, which was attended by Franco Ballerini, Alberto Tomba, Azeglio Vicini, Mario Cipollini and Diego Maradona among others. During the funeral, his manager Manuela Ronchi read notes that <mask> had written in his passport during a trip to Cuba:

Miguel Indurain, five-times Tour de France winner, praised <mask> by saying: "He got people hooked on the sport. There may be riders who have achieved more than him, but they never succeeded in drawing in the fans like he did." Legacy

In the years following his death, <mask> was the subject of several articles, books, songs and a film. Biographies and accounts on the life of <mask> have been written by sports journalists John Wilcockson and Matt Rendell, among others.

texts: collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives in Lincoln Center, New York. Both derive from his knowledge of music and feature numerous interviews with musicians and scholars in the musical field. Music, theater, literature, and film play a substantial part in his 25 books and more than 250 articles. Recent book publications include The Gothic Imagination (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011), which featured his interviews with dozens of prominent figures in literature, music, painting, and film. Individual studies of filmmakers, writers, and composers include Douglas Fairbanks and the American Century (Mississippi University Press, 2014), Peter Weir: Interviews (Mississippi University Press, 2014), The Gothic Worlds of Peter Straub (McFarlen, 2016), and Schumann: A Chorus of Voices (Amadeus Press, 2010). Other book publications include Dvorak in America (Amadeus Press, 1993), which was a multicultural study of the famous Czech composer's sojourn in America from 1892 to 1895.

<mask> (March 5, 1834 – August 12, 1913) was an American lawyer. He "disliked his first name intensely and never used his first name when he could avoid it". "Approachable, affable, and kind," graceful and courteous, he was called "the most scholarly lawyer in America" and "one of the leading legal lights of the nation", "a towering figure in the...life of Little Rock". He was a founder of the American Bar Association, of which he was twice president, 1891–92 and 1901-02. Another Arkansas judge, J. T. Coston, described him thus:

Arkansas is the home of the late U. M. <mask>, a scholar and statesman. <mask> was one of the great lawyers not only of Arkansas but of the United States. Cultured, refined and modest as a woman, with a titanic intellect, he was a general favorite wherever he was known.Judge Dillon, after being thrown with him on numerous occasions at long intervals, pronounced <mask> the most cultured man he had ever known. He loved his profession, and I heard him state only a year or two before he died, while attending the Arkansas Bar Association, that during his more than half a century experience in the practice of law he had never had a serious misunderstanding with a brother lawyer. President Theodore Roosevelt called him "the brainiest man I have ever met". Childhood
<mask> was born in Bradfordsville, Kentucky, on a farm of 300 or 400 acres, on March 5, 1834, son of Joseph and <mask>. His father was a physician and a Campbellite. He was his parents' third son and had two half-siblings from his father's first marriage to a Miss Armstrong from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As there was no school in Bradfordsville, he was taught by a tutor; he was studying Latin at age five and later remarked that he could not remember when he could not read.He studied

Since his father's estate was worth less than his debts, "the children were thrown out". <mask> then worked in the village store, where he also resided. When this did not leave him time to study, he resigned and worked on a farm, as a field hand, for board and $5 a month. When <mask> was 17, lawyer Rutherford Harrison Roundtree, who met him when visiting the farm, hired him as a deputy county clerk, and gave him "a home in his house" in Lebanon, Kentucky. There, he "learned a great deal about legal forms" and attended court, hearing the locally-famous attorneys Ben Hardin and Joshua F. Bell.To advance his legal education he enrolled at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. "When <mask>, no more than a youth, presented himself for admission to the school, he impressed Justice Robertson so much with his earnestness and apparent willingness to learn, that Justice Robertson took him to live at his own splendid mansion. It was while at Justice Robertson's home that <mask> met Henry Clay, Webster, and many other of the prominent men of the time." He graduated in six months. On October 25, 1853, <mask> married <mask>.

His law office was located in his yard.") <mask> subsequently moved his practice to Washington, Arkansas. In 1860, he was appointed chancellor (chancery judge and chief county officer) of Pulaski County; "county judges in Arkansas have served for decades as one of the strongest political forces in the state." "The [Pulaski County] chancellor's office was the only such office in the state and thus had statewide jurisdiction."He held this position until Union forces captured the state capital on September 1, 1863. Although initially opposed to secession, on the practical ground that the South could not win a war against the North, he backed the Confederacy throughout the Civil War. (Both he and his brother-in-law each owned a slave, though his ran away.) He took an oath to support the Confederacy, without which he could not have continued as a state judge; when briefly captured by Union forces that occupied Batesville, he refused to swear allegiance to the Federal government. The Confederacy named him state historian. He moved with the pro-Confederate Arkansas government to Washington, Arkansas in 1863, following the fall of Little Rock. <mask>, "along with all men who had the welfare of the state at heart", "worked hard" to convince Arkansas voters not to ratify the Reconstruction Constitution.(As a Confederate loyalist, he had lost the right to vote.) He was chairman of the Resolutions Committee of the state Democratic party, determined "to preserve 'WHITE MAN'S government in a WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY'".

Moving to Little Rock in 1865, where he and his wife had four additional children, he set up a law partnership, much later to become the Rose Law Firm, with George C. Watkins (1815–1872), former chief justice of Arkansas. This lasted until Watkins' retirement, five years later. He then brought in John Green, who died suddenly in May 1875.His son George B<mask> then became associated with him, under the firm name of U. M. & G. B. Rose. In 1893 Wilson Hemingway, associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court since 1889, resigned from the court to join them. In 1905, the firm merged with Cantrell and Loughborough, and the partners adopted the named Rose, Hemingway, Cantrell, and Loughborough, which remained the name of the firm long after <mask>’s death. The firm did not become the Rose Law Firm until 1980; no <mask> has been associated with the firm since George's death in 1942. He was offered a position as U.S.Senator but declined, saying "I have no love of political life. I have seen much of it at a distance. I regard it for the most part as a sham and a delusion, and often it is a shame and a disgrace." A man of learning in the law, science, and literature, <mask> knew both German and French; poems translated by him from the French of Sully Prudhomme and the German of Goethe and Schiller were published posthumously. When faced with a colonial document, he "exhibited a degree of almost perfect familiarity with Spanish". He was "deeply versed in the classics", and was also a noted and "enthralling" public speaker. In 1872 was the first of several trips to Europe, in which he visited Italy, Austria, Scandinavia, Russia, and Turkey; he also visited Mexico.His library, which his widow donated to the Little Rock Public Library, contained

Upon graduating, <mask> was employed as a researcher at his university, where he became involved in the teaching of students.In 1905–1906 he was in Copenhagen working on the publication of a critical edition of the Vǫlsunga saga and Ragnars saga loðbrókar. After Bugge's death, <mask> succeeded him in 1908 as Professor of Old Norwegian and Icelandic Literature at Royal Frederick University. He saw philology as the key to understanding life in the past, particularly the Viking Age. <mask> became widely regarded as the foremost Norwegian philologist of his time. He advocated an interdisciplinary approach to this subject. His main fields of interest were Old Norse literature, runology, and toponomy. <mask> was known for the boldness of this interpretations, and believed, like his mentor Bugge, that making an interpretation rooted in sound methodology was better than making no interpretation at all.At the University, he was considered a brilliant teacher but a feared examiner. He saw teaching and research as the best way he could serve his fatherland. <mask> ensured that students of high ability had their works published, and that a fund was established to make help students from poor families gain a university education. He supervised the education of generations of Norwegian academics and teachers, and together with scholars such as Carl Marstrander, <mask> developed Royal Frederick University into one the world's leading institutions on Germanic philology. Among the students who took courses under <mask> was Lee M. Hollander. In 1909, <mask> founded the journal Maal og Minne, which he personally edited for forty years. The first issue included his inaugural lecture on the Skírnismál, in which he presented parallels between Njörðr of Norse mythology and Nerthus mentioned by Tacitus.<mask> married Gjertrud Mathilde Kjær, daughter of university librarian  (1852–1941) and Johanne Marie Torp (1863–1948), on 28 June 1912.

 Bidrag til nordisk filologi. Between 1910 and 1924, he authored three volumes of the monumental Norske Gaardnavne, which examined the toponomy of Norwegian farms. The third volume was authored together with Just Knud Qvigstad. <mask> eventually assumed responsibility for the publication of this series, and had assisted its prior publisher Oluf Rygh. Two of his best known publications are  (1915) and  (1926), which used toponymic evidence to examine Old Norse religion; these pioneering works made significant contributions to its scholarship.Notably, the evidence presented by <mask> showed that the Norse gods were venerated not only as creatures from another world, but as powers intertwined with the environment of the people. His  was eventually translated into English and published under the title Farms and Fanes of Ancient Norway (1928). Gabriel Turville-Petre mentions <mask> along with Georges Dumézil and Jan de Vries as one of the most influential scholars on Old Norse religion. <mask>'s research on Scandinavian place names were instrumental in restoring confidence in Icelandic literature as a useful source of information on Old Norse religion. <mask>'s research on runology was significant. He succeeded Bugge as the publisher of Norges innskrifter med de ældre runer volumes (Norwegian Runic Inscriptions in the Older Runes), which examined Elder Futhark inscriptions in Norway. By 1924, it had been published in five volumes.Between 1941 and 1960, he published his subsequent Norges innskrifter med de yngre runer (Norwegian Inscriptions in the younger Runes) in five volumes. This work examined Younger Futhark inscriptions in Norway. Vols. 3–5 were published in cooperation with . <mask> was convinced that runes were not merely used as an instrument for communication, but were also believed to have magical purposes. World War II
