How to Cast On and Knit the Toe
When it comes to toe-up socks, the cast-on and toe are the most involved steps. Two kinds of cast-ons are covered here. The Easy Toe and Eastern cast-ons both use increases to shape the toe.
Cast-on numbers
This table contains rough numbers for the cast-on of a toe-up sock when working an Easy Toe or Eastern cast-on. Of course, you can adjust this number to suit your taste or foot shape.
|Yarn Weight
|Cast On at Toe: Easy or Eastern (per needle)
|Worsted (5 sts/in.)
|DK (6 sts/in.)
|Sport (7 sts/in.)
|Fingering (8–9 sts/in.)
For a wider toe, cast on more stitches in a multiple of 2 — you will need fewer increase rows in the toe to reach the total number of stitches for the sock.
For a narrower toe, cast on fewer stitches in a multiple of 2 — you will need more increase rows in the toe to reach the total number of stitches for the sock.
Easy Toe cast-on
Using four double-point needles, The Easy Toe cast-on incorporates a provisional cast-on and several plain rows of knitting before increases begin to shape the toe. The Easy Toe can also be worked on one or two circular needles.
With waste yarn, provisionally cast on the number of stitches specified in the table for your yarn type.
Work 4 rows even in stockinette stitch [knit 1 row, purl 1 row] twice.
Rotate the work so that the provisional cast-on is above the working needle. Pull out the provisional cast-on (waste yarn) and place the live stitches onto another needle.
Rotate the work again so that the working yarn is attached to the right-hand side of the top needle.
You will now begin knitting in the round.
Divide the stitches evenly over four needles by slipping half of the stitches off each needle purlwise onto new needles.
Each needle should have the same number of stitches.
Increase as follows:
Needle 1: k1, m1, k to end of needle. Take up another empty needle.
Needle 2: k to last st, m1, k1. Take up another empty needle.
Needle 3: k1, m1, k to end of needle. Take up another empty needle.
Needle 4: k to last st, m1, k1.
You have now evenly divided the stitches over four double-pointed needles and increased the total number of stitches by 4.
Place a split marker or piece of scrap yarn in the work to indicate the beginning of the round. Now begin alternating toe increase rounds with plain rounds.
Round 1:
Needle 1: K1, m1, k to end of needle.
Needle 2: K to last st, m1, k1.
Needle 3: K1, m1, k to end of needle.
Needle 4: K to last st, m1, k1.
Round 2:
All needles: Knit.
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until you reach the total number of stitches in the sock, according to the table on p. 64 (top-down sock).
The Easy Toe is complete!
If you are working a pattern stitch across the top of the foot, make sure you have the correct number of stitches for the pattern repeat. If necessary, increase extra stitches across the top of the foot on the last plain round to provide the right number of stitches.
Eastern cast-on
The Eastern cast-on is an easy method that does not require a provisional cast on or waste yarn. It can be worked on double pointed needles (as shown here), one or two circular needles.
Hold two double-pointed needles parallel in your left hand. The upper needle is labeled "A", the bottom needle is labeled "B". Catch the tail of your yarn between the needles, leaving several inches free behind the needles.
Wrap the yarn under needle B and over needle A.
Wrap the yarn around both needles in this direction until you have the number of stitches prescribed for your yarn weight.
With an empty needle, knit the stitches of needle A by inserting the needle tip into the first stitch and between the two parallel needles, and then bring the working yarn below needle B to knit the stitch.
Once you work all the stitches on needle A, rotate the two needles 180 degrees so that the working yarn is on the right edge. Knit across the stitches on needle B.
You are now ready to begin knitting in the round. Follow steps 4–6 of the Easy Toe cast-on to divide the stitches over four needles and increase for the toe.

A six-cylinder, six-liter bespoke Ferrari concept? Sounds like someone didn't proofread the press release that came out of Villa d'Este sponsor BMW earlier today. Not that we wouldn't love to see what a big-bore six in a Ferrari would be like.
The concept, set to be revealed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este starting on May 21, will be called the Ferrari Super America 45 Convertible. It'll follow in the footsteps coachbuilt Ferraris from Villa d'Este events' past, like Jim Glickenhaus's P4/5. No other details have been announced, though we're assuming that the 6,000 cc engine to which the press release refers will mean the one-off vehicle — commissioned to one of the major design shops by a customer in New York — will be based on the V12 599 GTB Fiorano.

aspiration pneumonia(redirected from acid pulmonary aspiration)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
as·pi·ra·tion pneu·mo·ni·a
bronchopneumonia resulting from the inhalation of foreign material, usually food particles or vomit, into the bronchi; pneumonia developing secondary to the presence in the airways of fluid, blood, saliva, or gastric contents.
Synonym(s): deglutition pneumonia
aspiration pneumonia
an inflammatory condition of the lungs and bronchi caused by inhaling foreign material or acidic vomitus. Compare bronchopneumonia. See also pneumonia.
observations Aspiration pneumonia may occur during anesthesia or recovery from anesthesia or during a seizure of acute alcoholic intoxication or other condition characterized by vomiting and a decreased level of consciousness. Patients receiving enteral feeding therapies may also be at risk.
interventions Treatment consists of prompt suctioning of the bronchi and administration of 100% oxygen. Continued artificial ventilation may be required. As long as oxygen is administered, frequent analyses of blood gas levels may be indicated. Corticosteroids may be given to diminish inflammation. The sputum is cultured regularly, and any bacterial infection thus diagnosed is treated with an appropriate antibiotic.
nursing considerations The pulse rate and quality of respirations, level of consciousness, and skin color are carefully monitored. An oral airway is left in place until the patient's condition improves, and secretions are removed by suction as necessary. Infection and respiratory failure are frequent complications. Aspiration pneumonia may be prevented by positioning unconscious patients with the head elevated 15 to 30 degrees and turned to the side and by paying careful attention to the maintenance of enteral feeding therapy and an adequate airway.
aspiration pneumoniaAn infectious process characterised by inhalation of colonised oropharyngeal material into the respiratory tract, which most commonly occurs in patients with impaired sensorium.
• Hospital acquired—Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, mixed oropharyngeal flora.
• Community acquired—Streptococcus pneumoniae, H influenzae, mixed oropharyngeal flora.
Clinical findings
Progressive respiratory depression, hypoxia, tachypnoea and tachycardia; the tracheobronchial tree "sweats" a thin frothy fluid.
Risk factors
Poor oral hygiene, clouded sensorium (drugs, alcohol, anaesthesia, coma, CVA, seizures), impaired gag reflex (intubation, myopathy, neurologic disorders, tracheostomy, vocal cord paralysis), oesophageal dysfunction (achalasia, strictures, tumours), others (elderly, feeding tube, delayed gastric emptying, critical illness).
Up to 70%.
aspiration pneumoniaAspiration pneumonitis Pulmonology A condition characterized by the inhalation or inappropriate passage of highly acidic gastric content–food, gastric acid, vomitus-into the respiratory tract, a clinical event most common in the comatose; after the insult, there is progressive respiratory depression, hypoxia, tachypnea, and tachycardia; the tracheobronchial tree 'sweats' thin frothy fluid; lung parenchyma is acutely inflamed, hemorrhagic and edematous with atelectasis and necrosis Mortality Up to 70%. See Gastric aspiration, Pneumonia.
as·pi·ra·tion pneu·mo·nia(as-pir-ā'shŭn nū-mō'nē-ă)
Bronchopneumonia resulting from the inhalation of foreign material, usually food particles or vomitus, into the bronchi; pneumonia developing secondary to the presence in the airways of fluid, blood, saliva, or gastric contents.
aspiration pneumoniaPneumonia caused by the inhalation of infected or irritating material, such as vomited stomach contents.
1. the act of inhaling. Pathological aspiration of vomitus or mucus into the respiratory tract may occur when a patient is unconscious or under the effects of a general anesthetic.
2. removal of fluids or gases from a cavity by the aid of suction.
aspiration biopsy
see biopsy.
aspiration pneumonia
is the result of inhalation or aspiration of infected solid or liquid material into the lungs. Large volumes of aspirate cause asphyxia, smaller amounts cause a necrotic or gangrenous pneumonia, in anterior and ventral parts of the lung. There is profound toxemia, cough, gurgling or squeaky rales, and usually an attendant pleurisy producing a friction rub. Called also inhalation pneumonia.
inflammation of the parenchyma of the lung. It is often accompanied by inflammation of the airways and sometimes of the adjoining pleura. Clinically it is manifested by an increase in the rate and depth of respiration at all degrees of severity up to dyspnea. There is also cough, and abnormality of the breath sounds on auscultation. In bacterial pneumonia there is usually a severe toxemia, in viral pneumonia it is usually minor. See also bronchopneumonia, pleuropneumonia.
Arabian foal pneumonia
an inexorably progressive pneumonia of certain Arabian foals born with primary severe combined immunodeficiency in which adenovirus plays a dominant role but is complicated by other microorganisms, particularly Pneumocystis carinii.
aspiration pneumonia
atypical pneumonia
histologically the pneumonia is atypical in that there are no signs of acute inflammation and it is characterized by an exudation of eosinophilic, protein-rich fluid in the alveoli which may become organized to form a hyaline membrane. In animals that survive for several days there is epithelialization of the alveolar walls. In humans there is a primary atypical pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. In animals the best known example is atypical interstitial pneumonia of cattle.
bronchointerstitial pneumonia
the lesions are centered on the bronchioles and a prominent feature is the accumulation of lymphocytes in interstitial tissue; typical of pneumonias caused by aerogenous virus infections, especially myxoviruses.
brooder pneumonia
see brooder pneumonia.
chronic undifferentiated pneumonia of sheep
see enzootic pneumonia.
corynebacterial pneumonia of foals
see corynebacterial pneumonia.
cuffing pneumonia
chronic undifferentiated pneumonia of sheep in which lymphofollicular sheaths around the bronchioles are a feature.
equine cryptococcal pneumonia
see epizootic lymphangitis.
desquamative pneumonia
a chronic pneumonia associated with Mycoplasma spp. and characterized by organization of the exudate within bronchioles and bronchi, and proliferation of the interstitial tissue and epithelium.
desquamative interstitial pneumonia
chronic pneumonia with desquamation of large alveolar cells and thickening of the walls of distal air passages; marked by dyspnea and nonproductive cough.
embolic pneumonia
results from hematogenous spread from an intravascular lesion elsewhere in the body. The best known example is caudal vena caval thrombosis.
endogenous-lipid pneumonia
focal alveolar accumulations of foamy, lipid-filled macrophages which may impede alveolar clearance. Usually an incidental postmortem finding in laboratory rodents, fur-bearing animals and uncommonly cats and dogs.
enzootic pneumonia
see enzootic pneumonia.
fibrinous pneumonia
an acute fulminating pneumonia, often lobar in distribution, characterized by a fibrinous exudate. Fibrinous describes the exudate, not the anatomical distribution so that the term fibrinous pneumonia should not be used interchangeably with lobar pneumonia.
foreign body pneumonia
gangrenous pneumonia
usually an accompaniment of aspiration pneumonia.
giant-cell pneumonia
a secondary lesion in dermatosis vegetans in pigs; lesions marked by the presence of a proliferative giant-cell type of diffuse interstitial pneumonia.
granulomatous pneumonia
has a slow course characterized by granulomatous, not exudative, lesions. Sporadic cases occur in immunodeficient animals. It is a characteristic of tuberculosis and systemic fungal infections, e.g. coccidioidomycosis.
hypostatic pneumonia
caused by pooling of blood and some decrease in viability of the dependent lung in an old, sick or debilitated animal that is in lateral recumbency for a long period. The infection is secondary to hypostasis.
inhalation pneumonia
interstitial pneumonia
pneumonia in which there is diffuse or patchy damage to alveolar septa widely distributed through the lungs. There is an early intra-alveolar exudative phase followed by significant proliferation and enlargement of the alveolar epithelial cells and a thickening of the interstitial tissue. Most interstitial pneumonias in animals are infectious including viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal causes, but may be caused by chemical injury, acute pancreatitis or shock, as in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
lipid pneumonia
a specific type of aspiration pneumonia caused by the inhalation of oil droplets; most commonly associated with the forced administration of paraffin oil or cod-liver oil to cats. Called also medication pneumonia, lipoid pneumonia. See also aspiration pneumonia.
lobar pneumonia
a fulminating bronchopneumonia in which entire pulmonary lobes are diffusively inflamed and then consolidated. Pneumonic pasteurellosis in cattle is the type disease. The animal is critically ill with anoxia and toxemia.
lobular pneumonia
an oldfashioned term for bronchopneumonia.
lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
see maedi.
ovine progressive pneumonia
see maedi.
parasitic pneumonia
see lungworm disease.
stable pneumonia
see equine influenza.
suppurative pneumonia of foals
see corynebacterial pneumonia.
uremic pneumonia
occurs in dogs with terminal uremia; lesions characterized by absence of inflammatory cells.
Patient discussion about aspiration pneumonia
Q. What Causes Aspiration Pneumonia? My father is hospitalized with aspiration pneumonia. What causes this?
A. Aspiration pneumonia is a pneumonia that develops due to the entrance of foreign material that enter the bronchial tree (air tubes), usually oral or gastric contents (including food, saliva, or nasal secretions). Aspiration pneumonia represents a either a bacterial infection or a chemical inflammatory process due to inadequate swallowing mechanism.More discussions about aspiration pneumonia

One conclusion was immediately obvious when we started to analyse data from the UK honeynet compromise in phishing technique one above - due to multiple simultaneous attacks by different blackhat groups, a significant amount of time would be required to extract and prepare the data from the network streams before more detailed analysis could take place. This data extraction process is repetitive and tedious, and if carried out manually represents an inefficient use of valuable analysis time. An automated solution was required.
The honeysnap script, written by David Watson of the UK Honeynet Project, grew out of this idea and was designed to process honeynet data feeds on a daily basis and produce a simple summary output to direct later manual analysis. The honeysnap script breaks down the data for each honeypot and provides lists of outbound HTTP and FTP GETs, IRC messages and Sebek keystroke logs. TCP stream re-assembly for interesting connections is automated, as is extraction, identification and storage of files downloaded by FTP or HTTP, meaning that much of the time-consuming preparatory work of incident analysis is removed, leaving the analysts free to concentrate on manually investigating key elements of an incident. Honeysnap also provides an automated method for screening IRC traffic for interesting keywords (e.g. bank, account, password) and providing daily summary reports by email.
Currently honeysnap is a basic proof of concept UNIX shell script and the alpha release can be found here, whilst a set of sample honeysnap output can be found here. A modular and fully expandable version written in Python is currently under development by members of the Honeynet Project and will be beta released to the community in June 2005.

HOUSTON (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 30 points, while game MVP Chris Paul had 20 points and 15 assists as the Western Conference beat the East 143-138 on Sunday in the NBA All-Star game.
Blake Griffin finished with 19 points and Kobe Bryant blocked LeBron James twice in the final minutes, that duo joining Paul to turn the West's victory into something of an L.A. story.
James scored 19 points but shot only 7 of 18, contrasting with his recent hot shooting for the Miami Heat. Bryant blocked two of his shots late.
Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
"We played really good defense at the end of the game as a team," Durant said. "Kobe was really going with the ball. It's tough to stop LeBron, but he did his best. He was able to block a few of his shots. But CP did a really good job of keeping us in the game."
The first dunk of the game came 16 seconds in, Paul throwing a pass to Griffin as part of the West's 7-0 start. The West led after each of the first three quarters, though was never ahead by more than eight points through three periods.
They finally pushed it into double figures early in the fourth fueled by former Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but couldn't put it away until a late run behind the guys from the city of Los Angeles — who along with Lakers center Dwight Howard gave Los Angeles teams all but one of the West's starting spots.
Paul hit two 3-pointers, Bryant made a layup, and his block of James led to Durant's dunk that made it 136-126. Griffin had one last forceful dunk to help close it out, throwing a pass to himself off the backboard and climbing high to make it 142-134.
The Bryant-James duel was a good one between the two players who are most often compared to Michael Jordan, who turned 50 on the day.
"It was all in good spirit, man. It was just two guys that love to compete, love to go at it. So I had a lot of fun," James said.
Bryant finished with only nine points but had eight assists. Griffin shot 9 of 11 from the field and didn't miss until trying to violently throw one down from a few feet away from the basket.
Indiana's Paul George scored 17 and Kyrie Irving had 15 for the East.
Not everybody had it so easy. Chris Bosh shot two airballs in the first quarter and was booed, tossed up another in the second, and had Tony Parker dribble the ball through his legs on defense. He was pulled after Bryant blew right by him for a layup.
Bosh finished 3 of 9. Wade had 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting, the best performance of the three Heat players in the starting lineup.

Well! How about that Halloween snow storm! I'm pretty disappointed in how fast autumn just flew by this year, especially since my hectic schedule these past couple of months with my book and trip to China left little time to fully enjoy my favorite season. There was no apple picking this year. No pumpkin carving. No lazy weekend days of making pies and breads and pandowdies.
Fortunately, then, for the Manhattan and Brooklyn farmer's markets. They may be much more crowded and expensive than, say, a roadside farmer's stand off a country road, but they still offer a whiff of all the niceness fall has to offer. Plus, the markets are outdoors year-round, which leads me to acknowledge that if the vendors can work outdoors for 8 to 10 hours straight, I too can get through these long months of cold weather (i.e. I'd be a total wimp to not venture outside to pick up onions, or my dry-cleaning.)
I meant to post this before Halloween but didn't get a chance to until now. I had picked up a sugar pumpkin from the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket a few weeks ago and wanted to do something other than make soup. I had some leftover rice in the fridge and scallions that needed to be used up, so I decided to throw together a pumpkin fried rice.
Sugar pumpkins and kabocha squash may be the best to use, since they still hold their firmness during roasting. You'll want to cut the pumpkins into large wedges for the roasting; it's too hard when raw to cut into smaller pieces. I soaked up some dried shiitake mushrooms that were in my cabinets, but you can easily substitute fresh shiitake or cremini mushrooms. With chopped scallions as a final touch, voilà! A quick east-meet-west seasonal meal. Or maybe even an unexpected side dish later this month for Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin Fried Rice
Serves 4 as part of a multi-course meal, or 2 as a main dish
- 1 2- or 3-pound sugar pumpkin or kabocha squash
- 4 or 5 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 3 cups leftcover basmati, jasmine, or long-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 scallion, white and green parts finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Slice off the stem of the pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into 4 to 6 large wedges. Using a roasting pan or sheet pan, roast the pumpkin wedges for 15 to 20 minutes, until softened enough for chopping not yet cooked through. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes until it's cool enough to handle. Slice the pumpkin flesh into 1-inch cubes and discard the outsides.
- Soak the shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of warm water for 10 to 15 minutes, until softened. Trim off the stems and discard. Thinly slice or chop the caps.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat the base and sides. Add the shallots and scallions and stir-fry until just fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the pumpkin and mushrooms and stir-fry for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the pumpkin is cooked through but still maintains its shape.
- Stir in the rice, breaking apart any remaining clumps with a spatula. Continue cooking the rice, stirring constantly, until the rice starts to turn golden and is well-mixed with the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large communal serving dish or divide into individual bowls.

text: The Brazilian government has confirmed the existence of a previously unknown group of so-called uncontacted people who have remained isolated from industrial society. In April, the Brazilian government agency charged with protecting the country's indigenous tribes took aerial photographs of the group's Amazon dwellings. The photos were released June 22 by Survival International, an advocacy group for indigenous people. Survival International research director Fiona Watson talked to Wired.com about the photos. House The structure of the dwelling is very different from those seen in photographs of another uncontacted Amazon group that were released in February. Unlike those small, open dwellings, these are large and enclosed. "Probably 20 or 30 people could fit in there," said Watson. "You can see smaller structures toward the back of the house. These could be areas for cooking, or storing things. I've been to indigenous villages where they have separate structures for keeping the large birds from which they pluck feathers to make arrows." Image: Peetsa/Arquivo CGIIRC-FunaiNew House "These are all quite new structures," said Watson. "You can tell that because the vegetation hasn't grown back around the houses. They were constructed in the last year. You can still see the bare trunks." Image: Peetsa/Arquivo CGIIRC-FunaiThe People The only glimpse of the people who live inside is in the upper right-center of the new house photograph, adjacent to the house. According to Watson, it's not yet known what tribe they belong to. Image: Peetsa/Arquivo CGIIRC-FunaiThere to Stay "Another thing these photographs say to me is that the structures are not temporary," said Watson. "They are quite substantial. They would have taken a lot of time and effort to build. It looks to me like they're semi-nomadic. They would be hunters, certainly. They're not nomadic." Watson said the Brazilian government has spotted the group's gardens, which contain corn and peanuts, as well as the banana trees visible in this photo. Image: Peetsa/Arquivo CGIIRC-FunaiThe Javari Valley Note: Above is video from a contact made in 1996 with members of a tribe who live in the same region as the newly-identified group. The newly-identified group lives in the Javari valley, a South Carolina-sized region set aside by the Brazilian government for indigenous people. About 2,000 uncontacted people are believed to live there, making it the last great stronghold of groups who've utterly eschewed industrial civilization. "There are about seven groups who have been contacted, and what the Brazilian government says is that they've found references to about 14 uncontacted indigenous groups," said Watson. "Some of those groups may be the same people. It's hard to say exactly how many there are." The most recent contact was made in 1996 with a group of Korubo tribespeople. (Above is videotape from that encounter.) Though government policy is to avoid contact altogether, they were moving toward an area occupied by loggers, making it necessary to warn them away. Video: Funai/Survival InternationalThreats Though the Javari valley's uncontacted people want to avoid the industrial world, the industrial world doesn't always want to avoid them. "There's more and more pressure from people illegally hunting game, from missionary groups who want to bring them the Word, and from narco-traffickers," said Watson. "The big question is, how are authorities going to ensure this area's protection in the long term? Both in Brazil and Peru, governments want to exploit the natural resources of the Amazon for their nation's benefit. There's more and more pressure from gas and mining countries. One thing we're watching is a bill making its way through Brazil's Congress that would open up large-scale mining in indigenous territories."

"These people use their environment so intelligently and well. I don't mean that in a romanticized way. You see this partly in the photographs we released earlier this year. I was amazed at how healthy they look. But it's not amazing. When people's rights are respected and they can live on their land as they choose, they live very well. These people don't need food packages from us. I'm not saying it's better or worse than our way of life, but it's very successful at leaving a minimum footprint."

John Brown: They Had a Concern
By Jeannette Mather Lord
On the rolling Iowa prairies between the Cedar and Iowa Rivers, Quaker Ridge was settled during the 1850's by Friends from New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. In time the little town of Springdale, situated on the state highway, now known as the Herbert Hoover Highway, emerged as the center of this Quaker community extending through Cedar, Muscatine, and Linn Counties.
In the concern of these Quakers over slavery, Springdale became one of the chief stations on the Underground Railroad in Iowa. This was not a railroad, nor was it underground. It was a route on which lived people whose homes were stations or refuges for escaped slaves and who as engineers and conductors helped the fugitives on their way to the next station toward freedom. It was a source of satisfaction to these Quakers that of the many fleeing slaves reaching Springdale, every one reached Canada and freedom, so carefully was the trip from Springdale mapped out.
I never tired of hearing the older people tell of their part in those stirring years. Aunt Senie, a tiny person, who radiated repose and serenity, had packed more lunches for escaped slaves, it was said, than any other woman in Iowa.
Friend Laurie Tatum, keeper of Traveller's Rest in Springdale and later guardian of the orphaned Herbert Hoover, as a conductor of the Underground Railroad, carried by covered wagon many fugitives across country about twenty-five miles to Mechanicsville. So did Shannon Todd. It was Laurie Tatum, I think, whose wagon was mired in the shifting sands of the Cedar River at Gray's Ford. The combined efforts of himself and his team failed to get the wagon free. The added strength of a stranger also failed to budge the wagon.
"It can't be done," was the stranger's opinion. "The wagon will have to be unloaded."
Friend Tatum answered in no uncertain terms that he was unable to unload the wagon which must be pulled out for time was pressing.
"What is in the wagon?" demanded the stranger. Not knowing whether he was friend or foe, and being a truth-loving man, Friend Tatum answered, "Hides and wool." His fate, for the Fugitive Slave Law was in force, and the fate of the slaves seeking freedom hung in the balance. In Friend Tatum's mind, aiding a slave might be unlawful but slavery was a much greater sin.
This answer removed all hesitation on the stranger's part. With renewed vigor and the aid of some rails from a nearby fence, the wagon with its human freight was pried out of the sands and helped on its way.
At another time Shannon Todd had reached Mechanicsville safely with fleeing slaves. His freight was billed as potatoes. As he and the freightmaster were loading the bags into the freight car, one of the bags sneezed. To all appearances the freightmaster never heard.
Anna Varney Phelps told of seeing a black mother and child hiding behind barrels of potatoes and apples in the cellar, but she had been trained to ask no questions, much less to answer any asked by strangers.
Each time I heard these stories, I lived through breathless suspense. For a few weeks a black boy attended Primary School with me. All I can remember of him is his merry laugh and dancing eyes, and that, embarrassed and shy, he sat in his seat chewing the toe of his heavy boot. I had seen colored porters on trains and caught glimpses of Uncle Tom Jenkins' visiting daughter as she hung bedding on the line. However, Uncle Tom was the only colored person among my friends. To me he stood for the whole oppressed black race who had suffered through the cruelty of the white people. I had to expiate those wrongs. Although I saw Uncle Tom probably every day of my childhood, never did I lose my sense of wonder and awe.
Each year Uncle Tom would come to school with his black and tan terrier, Dinah, to tell us children the story of his life. Each child that day brought special things begged at home for him: a glass of jelly, an apple, a warm muffler, or a gay kerchief. No memory of my childhood is more vivid than that of this kindly old man trying to make this group of primary children understand the suffering of the mind of the slave even when there was no suffering of body. Dinah, looking up in his master's face, would punctuate the tale with whines, for his master was in distress and to Dinah that was beyond canine endurance.
Uncle Tom's first memory was of hiding in the bushes and seeing the foreman flog his father who was tied to a post. Taking refuge with his mother, he begged to know why white people were masters and the blacks were slaves. She hushed his cries and with tragic earnestness tried to drive all hate and thought of revenge out of her son's heart. They were slaves; acceptance of their lot was a necessity; hatred, rebellion, thoughts of revenge only brought more trouble and suffering, not only to themselves but to their loved ones.
"Mammy," he said, "when I get to be a man I'll not be a slave. I'm bound to run away and be a free man."
Sadly his mother answered, "My child, if you have such thoughts as those never let anyone know it."
This was in Culpepper County, Missouri. After being forty years a slave, Uncle Tom escaped. It was in the fall of the year. He slept in the daytime and traveled at night, following the North Star. Twice he ventured to approach a farmhouse to beg for food. The first time the woman set the dogs on him, and it was difficult to shake them off his trail. The second time the housewife invited him into the kitchen, set a chair for him and went ostensibly for food but in reality to call the men. Uncle Tom, sensing danger, ran out just as the husband with a gun, accompanied by his son, came around the corner of the house. The man shot several times before Uncle Tom reached the shelter of a cornfield in which he eluded them. After that he kept away from people.
How he found Springdale, I have often wondered. Only when he reached the community where the women wore gray gowns and bonnets and the men broad-brimmed hats did he dare show himself. Rumor, traveling by grapevine in Missouri, had said there would he find safety and be helped on his way.
He arrived late in the year, having had nothing to eat but the raw field corn since leaving his master in Missouri three months before. He had suffered much from the cold. His feet were frozen and in such condition that his boots had to be cut off. Some time was spent in recuperating. He worked as he could to pay for his board and when fit to travel went on his way to Canada and freedom.
It was after the war that Uncle Tom returned to Springdale to live, buying the house just east of the schoolhouse. Of his family I know nothing except that at intervals a daughter would come to live with him. She so vigorously cleaned house and as vigorously used her tongue that before long Uncle Tom would decide that he was happier by himself and the daughter would leave until next summoned. Except for these visits, Uncle Tom lived alone with his cow, sometimes a calf, his chickens, ducks and Dinah. The house was used in common by all. I cannot say that I ever saw the cow in the house, but I have seen the calf in the kitchen drinking from a dish placed on a chair. In the summer the door stood open and the fowls and animals crossed the threshold at will.
On Sabbath, or First Day, Uncle Tom went to Quaker Meeting. Dinah is the only dog I have seen attend divine worship, but inseparable from his master, he would follow him into the pew and never cause any disturbance beyond the excitement among the children as he and Uncle Tom entered. Being prompt was not one of Uncle Tom's virtues. Just as the minister (for by this time the Friends in Springdale had grown progressive enough to have a minister) reached sixthly, or perhaps lastly, when we children had given up hoping for an end and were sure the clock had stopped, Uncle Tom and Dinah would make their way to the empty pew nearest the door. From our family pew we lost no detail of this entrance. Uncle Tom was always a person of romance. We delighted in his kindly face and picturesque figure in his silver gray suit, bright bandanna, soft broad-brimmed gray hat, showing beneath it a fringe of white hair. He never took off his hat in meeting except during a prayer, not even in the long silence following the sermon.
At the time of the early Friends in England, to remove a hat in the presence of others was an act of servility or, at least, a recognition of inferiority. Believing that all men are equal in the sight of God, the early Friend wore his hat in the presence of all people, even the king and other high officials. He wore it in court and in meeting, but he removed it when he prayed. It was definitely Quakerly for Uncle Tom to wear his hat during the service and symbolic of his recognized equality with his neighbors. Here no one wished Uncle Tom to pay "hat honor."
When my mother had typhoid fever, every morning before breakfast Uncle Tom, having walked a mile and a half to our home, known as Evergreens, would appear at the kitchen door to inquire how the "missus" was. Mother gave orders to the cook to invite him into the kitchen for breakfast, but he refused even a cup of coffee.
On our way to town, we frequently found Uncle Tom out on the "horseblock" watching for us. Would we stop on our return for a basket of fruit, always ripe before ours?
One day he questioned Mother on how to raise ducks. This was a surprising inquiry from one so successful. Sensing his seriousness, Mother told him in great detail her understanding of the problem. He asked many questions. Finally fully satisfied that Mother knew how to care for ducks, he asked permission to present us children with a duck and her newly hatched brood. The ducks thrived and because of their unusually brilliant coloring were our delight.
The years accumulated for Uncle Tom. The time came when he could no longer care for himself. Even now he could not live with his daughter. He sold his tiny place and, with the proceeds and his savings, went to the county farm as a paying guest. He was happy there, living to a ripe old age, full of quiet dignity, a respected and self-supporting member of the community. Once a year he would receive an invitation to visit Uncle William for a week-end to attend again our meeting where he would see all his friends.
In the Springdale Cemetery is his grave with the inscription on the tombstone:

Aged 83 years old
We Have No Use for Thy Guns
In October of 1856, John Brown came to Iowa City, Iowa, the home of the Kansas National Committee for Iowa, to see William Penn Clarke, Dr. Jesse Bowen, Colonel Samuel C. Trowbridge, Iowa City's first sheriff, and other abolitionists, who from now on, could always be depended upon to supply funds needed for forwarding passengers on the Underground Railroad. This ran across Iowa with stations at Tabor, Lewis, Des Moines, Grinnel, Iowa City, West Liberty, Springdale, Tipton, Dewitt, and Clinton. Salem in Southeastern Iowa was also an important station.
On this occasion he visited for the first time the Friends' community, east of Iowa City. The story ran that weary and travel-worn, John Brown stopped his mule in West Branch at Travel's Rest, an inn kept by James Townsend, saying to his host, "Have you ever heard of John Brown of Kansas?" Townsend, knowing Brown through Iowa City abolitionists; took a piece of chalk from his vest pocket and marked a large X on Brown's hat, another on his back and a third on the flank of his mule to indicate that Brown was to be a guest on the house. Then he said, "Friend, put thy animal in that stable and walk into the house. Thee is surely welcome."1
In the early winter of 1857-'58 again Brown was in Springdale. With him were ten of his supporters and also some slaves whom they were helping to freedom. Unsuccessfully an auction was held in an attempt to sell off the wagons and teams, used for transporting rifles and pikes from Tabor, Iowa. They had walked from Tabor in twenty-five days, avoiding settlements on the way. My father has described Brown's patriarchal appearance as he stood in the midst of his company that day - slightly under six feet in height with stooping shoulders, gray hair and long flowing beard of snowy whiteness, in all appearances an old man, but one commanding attention, confidence and respect. He never laughed.
The auction was a failure. Cash was scarce because of the panic of 1857. William Maxson, a spiritualist, not a Quaker but long a member of a train crew of the Underground Railroad, living in the rather isolated North Liberty community, about three miles northeast of Springdale, agreed to give board for the winter to Brown and his men in exchange for his teams and wagons as might seem just and fair - one and a half dollars a week for each man, not including laundry and extra candles.
The Maxson house was an attractive one, built in 1839 on the edge of the timber, on the site of the first white man's cabin built on this side of the Cedar River. Constructed of stone, it was overlaid with plaster and was quite palatial for these days. The house, 24 x 38 feet with an annex 16 x 20, had five good-sized rooms on the ground floor. Its walls were a foot thick, its laths of split native oak. The floors were also of oak and the woodwork was of black walnut. I remember the design of the molding and the carved corners of the window frames, for my sense of fitness was hurt when I saw trophy hunters tear off lovely pieces, leaving great gaping holes.
Around the fireplace in the parlor, called "the great room," were held the councils and here plans were laid. Opening off this room was a smaller room used by Brown as a bedroom and office. The big living-room and long dining-room-kitchen were also given over to Brown's men. A steep narrow stairs led to a garret where there was just enough head room for a man to stand erect under the ridge pole. This served as sleeping quarters for the ten men.
Maria Todd, later the wife of Elza Maxson, told me that she lived with William and Delilah Maxson while Brown and his men were there. She and the Maxson family shared the cellar with the fleeing slaves that winter. It was a large cellar, underneath the whole house, designed and used as a station on the Underground Railroad. The open stairway came down from the dining-room-kitchen, dividing the part under the main house into two large rooms, each of which had its huge fireplace. Back of these rooms extended a dark area never fully explored by me. The cooking was done over the fireplaces.
Today the house is still spoken of as beautiful. "The big east door with its dignified casement, the nice proportion of the house, its unusual finish of gravel, not unlike modern stucco, give occasion to wonder at the pioneer settlers who builded it." The above was written after the old house had fallen into ruins and was to be pulled down. Three architects were sent to make blue-prints of the old building. These were to be deposited in the national files in Washington, D. C.
In my childhood, the right-hand fireplace in the cellar had fallen in, leaving a big jagged hole in the foundation. When showing visitors this cellar we children anticipated the moment when, stepping off the stairs, Mother would say, "This cellar was considered one of the safest of all the stations of the Underground Railroad." Not infrequently would come the expected question from the guest who had taken a hurried look about, "Did the railroad come in there?" pointing to the hole where was once a fireplace.
We never missed a visit to the cellar and we were always at Mother's elbow as she pointed out the strength of this refuge. Many a time officers of the law, slave masters and bloodhounds were confident that the fugitive slaves had been tracked to that cellar. Never were they refused the admittance demanded; never was force used to keep them from securing their quarry. But courageous as these men undoubtedly were the desire of regaining possession of the most valuable of slaves diminished as they stood in the dining-room at the open door, staring down an open staircase with the light streaming down from above. Below on either side stretched the impenetrable darkness of the cellar. A fugitive slave was a desperate man, protected by the darkness, while his would-be captor faced the necessity of descending that stairway in full light, an easy target. Although the slave's master sometimes lingered in the community for a week or two, fortunately for the record of the community, no attempt was ever made to enter that cellar.
The names of the men who made up John Brown's party became household names in the homes of the Quakers. They were always listed as follows: Brown's son, Owen Brown; Richard Realf, an Englishman; John Henri Kagi, correspondent for the New York Post; Aaron D. Stephens, known as Colonel Whipple; John Edwin Cook, later a brother-in-law of the governor of Indiana; Luke F. Parsons, 22 years old and already a fighter seasoned in the Kansas Border War; William H. Leeman, only eighteen; Charles Plummer Tidd; Charles Moffat and a fugitive slave, Richard Richardson, from Lexington, Missouri, who had joined them in southern Iowa.
These men became part of the community. They brought many new interests. My father attended the mock legislature held twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, in the big west room of the Maxson house and later, because of the crowds, in the brick schoolhouse, which subsequently became the home of Moses Varney. This legislature followed parliamentary law and proceeded with motions and debates. From Father's account, I judge that all questions of interest of the day were discussed: politics, slavery and warfare, political and civil rights of the negro, college education and civil rights of women, banking laws, prohibitory liquor laws, mechanics, theology, spiritualism, and natural philosophy. The Maxsons and Stephens were spiritualists. Brown kept his men supplied with good reading, especially with biographies of great men, beginning with Plutarch's Lives. Consequently they had a wide range of interests, wider than that of Brown himself. He was a crusader with one dominating idea. He talked only of religion and the evils of slavery, and he was indeed a convincing debater. Realf, Kagi, Cook, and Coppoc were brilliant in oratory.
Rising at five in the morning the boarders at Mr. Maxson's spent the forenoons in military studies and drilling with wooden swords or pikes and in maneuvering in the open space in front of the house, led by Stephens who had had previous United States Army experience. As a child I have trod the paths worn by these men in their drilling, still distinct forty years afterwards in an otherwise green lawn. I was awed by the fact that these men had willingly given their lives, not in self-defense but deliberately in order to help others gain freedom.
The evenings were given over to reading, writing letters, studying shorthand, taught by Kagi, and debating.
The decision to winter here in Springdale was an excellent one in John Brown's judgment, for this community was well known for its concern against slavery and against war. It was several miles off the railroad and far from Harper's Ferry and Virginia.
Coming into the community with escaping slaves who needed help, John Brown and the Quakers met as co-workers in a common cause to which they were completely and devotedly dedicated. Without reserve they applied themselves to hiding the fugitives and finding means of passing on these "packages" to safety and to Canada. There would be time for the Quakers to consider John Brown later.
In a matter of days after the establishment of Brown's men at Maxsons, suspicions were aroused as word spread of maneuvers and military drill on the lawn in front of the Maxson house. The Quakers knew of the Kansas Border War and the Potawotomie massacre. Their disapproval was shown by the Quaker who said to Brown, "Thou art welcome to tarry among us but we have no use for thy guns." The Quakers stood ready to work with Brown in aiding fugitive slaves, but no sanction would they give to any plan of violence.
When the Quakers came to know John Brown they found him as trustworthy, honest, and God-fearing as had their friends on the Kansas National Committee for Iowa. They responded as did Thoreau and Sanborn in Concord, Gerrit Smith in New York, T. W. Higginson, George L. Steams, Theodore Parker of New England and other abolitionists. Brown was a man who inspired confidence. Such was my father's first impression of him.
Historians have said that "from 1850 on, he (Brown) talked constantly and openly of carrying the war into Africa," but in Springdale he was discreetly silent. Elza Maxson, who went East in 1859, when summoned by Brown, emphasized to me Brown's determination to avoid war or do any harm to any one except those opposing him when he was working to free the slaves. Brown stated that he would have nothing "to do with any war, unless it was a war of liberty."
Well liked, Brown's men were welcome guests for an evening in the homes of the community. Aaron Stephens, Brown's drillmaster, was a frequent visitor at the home of Moses Varney. His daughter, Anna Varney Phelps, would tell of sitting on Stephens' knee while, with tears rolling down his cheeks, he would sing in his beautiful tenor, "Will they miss me at home, Mother? Will they miss me?"
Narcissa Macy Smith stated that Brown's character was irreproachable. He was an ardent prohibitionist; neither did he use tobacco, nor strong and profane language. "As a man thinketh, so is he," she quoted from Proverbs.
Henry D. Thoreau in A Plea for Captain John Brown writes that he himself had heard him (Brown) state that "In his camp, he permitted no profanity; no man of loose morals was suffered to remain there, unless, indeed, as a prisoner of war. 'I would rather have small-pox, yellow fever, and cholera all together than a man without principles!' "
Father, a consistent non-resistant, expressed his faith in and high regard for Brown as a man, telling of the path worn by his feet as he, when at the Maxson home, went without fail morning and evening to pray, to communicate with God and to meditate alone. The Quaker receives strength by withdrawing as in silence and solitude one comes close to God. So did John Brown. He had the love which casts out fear.
Only when visitors questioned did we of my generation hear of Brown, the avenger, smiting the enemies of slavery in Kansas. The emphasis was on the common concern to forward the freedom of the slaves and their confidence in Brown as a man of integrity, kindliness, sincerity, and spirituality.
Some would question: "Did not the Quakers "wink" at the military drill and Brown's plans, giving aid on the side?" To this Mother's answer was an emphatic "No." The "Meeting" were united in their testimony for peace, she would say, in their efforts to free the slaves and in their disapproval of the use of force by Brown. They spoke their minds frankly and forcefully at every opportunity without avail.
Yet, Mother would continue, when John Brown stated that he felt he was called by the Almighty God to deliver the nation from Slavery) and that his mission was "divinely appointed", the Friends could not doubt him. With their belief in "The Inner Light" and "that of God in everyman" the Quakers expect one's conduct to be in agreement with the inner revelation. The individual must assume full responsibility for his spiritual decisions. Hence they responded to John Brown with an unwillingness to judge him or to set themselves up against him. As Brown walked among them, they shared the burden on his soul, the great weight of the shackles of the thousands of men in bondage.
It is one of the striking inconsistencies of human nature that the Quakers, strongly non-resistant themselves, loved this man whose dedication to the cause of freedom and whose hatred of slavery had led him mistakenly, in their opinion, down the path of violence. Although they could not agree with his methods and thought his judgment faulty, such was his character, commanding their confidence, esteem and affection, that he and his men wintered unmolested in their midst, making preparations, the goal unknown to the Quakers, for his memorable raid on Harper's Ferry.
John Painter, later the founder of Pasadena, California, the only Quaker known to have had knowledge of Brown's plan at this time, labored in vain to dissuade him. However, Father would remind us that the Quakers were not alone in this trust in Brown, for Parker, Higginson, Steams, and Gerrit Smith sent him funds not knowing that they were to be used to attack the arsenal at Harper's Ferry.
For only short intervals was Brown himself at Maxson's during the winter. It is said that, before leaving his followers, in January, 1858, to raise money in the East, he disclosed to some of them his plans in more detail and for the first time Harper's Ferry was mentioned. In the community only Maxson and Painter knew what was afoot.
By April Brown returned with funds and gave orders for the expedition to start. By now Moses Varney may have known something of the plans. Each of his men wrote his name on the plaster wall of the "great room" of the Maxson house. In my childhood, the pencil marks had grown so faint that no full name could be traced out by my searching finger.
When Brown talked to Thomas James for the last time, James said, "Thee must be careful or thee will get a rope around thy neck."
To this Brown answered, "Yes, I expect it."
John Painter said, "Friend, I can't give thee money to buy powder and lead but here's $20. toward thy expenses."
The men went from house to house to say "Farewell". In the crowd which gathered to see them off, there were few dry eyes.
Nearly a year had passed before John Brown came again to Springdale. All were surprised when, 1859, Feb. 25, he appeared with some of his men and eleven or twelve slaves from Missouri. He had taken them safely through part of Kansas and across Iowa while the agents of the Fugitive Slave Law endeavored to capture Brown and the caravan. The government was offering $250. for his capture and the state of Kansas was offering $3,000.
Quickly the Friends found secure hiding places for the slaves. On March 10, the negroes traveled by box-car from West Liberty to Chicago. To pay their expenses a public sale had been held to auction off the mules and wagons, all of which had probably been commandeered.
It is told that when a mule was offered for sale, Brown stepped forward saying, "Gentlemen, the mule is all right but there is a slight defect in title."
Another story tells of John Painter saying, "Friend Brown, I understand that thee wishes to sell thy mules and I wish to buy one."
"Yes, they are for sale. How much do you think they are worth?"
"I think," said Painter, "they ought to bring one hundred twenty five dollars apiece."
"The mules are all right," replied Brown, "only for one thing and that is they have the habit of occasionally kicking. I think they should bring only one hundred dollars."
"Very well," agreed Painter, "I will pay one hundred dollars for this mule and I donate twenty-five dollars to the expenses of the expedition."
After the sale Brown did not linger but hurried on to Chicago and Canada.
This was not a quiet interval in that usually serene Quaker community. It would have been a severe test to that non- resistant Society if a rumored attempt to arrest John Brown and capture the caravan had materialized. Great was the relief when the fugitives were on their way safely.
As the summer of 1859 advanced, here and there a boy in the community went on a trip to Ohio ostensibly to visit relatives.
Elza Maxson had planned to be with Brown at the critical time but, due to the uncertainty of dates, news of the attack reached him as he was on his way to the East. He was too late to have any part in it. Even in his old age, in talking with me, he showed the same firm belief in and high regard for John Brown. The attack had been a mistake. Fate had stepped in and prevented him from personally having a part in that chapter of history. Gladly would he have given his life for the cause. It was with resignation that he accepted his escape from the gallows at Harper's Ferry. Fate had willed it so. A Friend would have said that God had willed it so.
The two Coppoc boys, Edwin and Barclay, received summons to meet Brown at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, at the earliest possible moment.
After their departure, the days drowsed through the summer in Springdale. The quietness of autumn was broken by the startling and terrible news of Brown's attack on Harper's Ferry - news which brought grief, sleeplessness and deep soul searching in the long night watches.
All the world knows of the raid on Harper's Ferry. If Brown had been killed during the attack, he would have been forgotten by now, I have heard Mother say. But his greatness came upon him in his prison days in Charlestown, Virginia, later to be included in West Virginia, when, during the war, that state was formed. Brown acknowledged his mistakes. He fought the plea of insanity put forward by well-meaning friends. When Samuel C. Pomeroy, long identified with the anti-slavery movement, later a senator from Kansas, told him that friends wished to plan an escape, Brown refused the help saying, "I am worth infinitely more to the cause to die than to live."
"God's Angry Man" he has been called by those who regarded him as a man filled with the wrath of God, willing to smite the enemies of the Lord with the sword and to break in pieces the oppressor and destroy the wicked as would a Hebrew prophet in the Old Testament. However, he is remembered as one who, on his last night on earth, asked that his religious attendants at his execution should be "poor little bareheaded, barelegged, ragged slave children and their old gray-haired slave mother." Instead guards and soldiers met him on the porch that Dec. 2, 1859.
As he saw the streets filled with armed soldiers, he commented, "I had no idea that Governor Wise considered my execution so important."
Riding to the gallows, seated on his own coffin, he said, "This is a very beautiful country. I never had the pleasure of seeing it before."
There was no flinching as he stood on the scaffold. A second later his body hung between heaven and earth and his soul was marching on.
As the Quakers in Springdale learned the sequence of events and realized the full significance of the fact that Brown and his men had drilled and prepared and planned for the attack on Harper's Ferry in their midst, they made haste to restate their testimony for peace. Three weeks after the raid, at the Monthly Meeting "a large and representative committee" was appointed to investigate the report that there "appears to be an impression abroad that the Friends in this neighborhood have improperly encouraged a war spirit." Joel Bean, Henry Rowntree, Israel Negus, Laurie Tatum, James Schooley, and Samuel Macy were among those who served on this committee. They reported to the Monthly Meeting, December 7, 1859:
We have endeavored to consider the subject confided to us in all its bearings and are united in the conclusion, that any publication (in the way of defense) on the part of the Mo Mee (Monthly Meeting) is unnecessary . . . . we believe our principals [sic] of peace were never dearer to most of our members than now.
However this did not close the chapter for the Springdale Community, for Edwin Coppoc faced execution for treason and Barclay was a fugitive in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
Wayward Tendencies
In mid-summer, July 25, 1859, in the large, square, frame, farmhouse on the eastern outskirts of the small town of Springdale in Cedar County, Iowa, Barclay Coppoe told his mother that he and his brother, Edwin, were starting for Ohio.
"Ohio?" questioned his mother. "I believe that thou art going with Old Brown. When thou gettest a halter round thy neck wilt thou think of me?"
"We cannot die in a better cause," replied Barclay.
It was his Quaker mother, Ann Coppoe Raley, a woman of rare intelligence, a strong abolitionist, who had taught her sons their hatred of slavery. Many a slave had been harbored in their home.
However both boys had developed "wayward tendencies", disturbing to their mother and the "meeting". Edwin took up dancing. The Monthly Meeting dealt with him in the "spirit of restoring love." As Edwin did not condemn his actions he was disowned by the meeting. There is also an entry in the minutes of the Monthly Meeting that Barclay Coppoc had used strong language and struck a man in anger. Barclay gave the "meeting" satisfaction and the complaint was "passed by". Now both brothers had a concern. Following the prompting of the "Inner Light" they threw themselves into the struggle against slavery with John Brown whom they went to meet in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. They were the only Friends who were summoned and Edwin had been "put out of the meeting".
In October of 1859 John Brown gathered his men at the Kennedy Farm in Maryland five miles above Harper's Ferry preparing for his raid on the arsenal in order to obtain arms. "There were six or seven men in Brown's party who . . . were ignorant of the plan of operation until Sunday morning, October 16. Among this number were Edwin and Barclay Coppoc," stated John E. Cook in his confessions made in prison.
About eight o'clock that evening Brown called his men together, saying, "Men, get on your arms. We will proceed to the Ferry."
Early the next morning they heard firing in the valley which increased sometime after noon. Late in the day, arming themselves well with rifles, they started down toward the Ferry. Soon they met Charles Plummer Tidd and later John E. Cook through whom they learned that Brown's Band was completely surrounded and nothing could be done to help them. As lingering in the neighborhood would surely cost them their lives, the only course left them was flight into the mountains. Traveling by night only, hunted by men and dogs, they made their way through an alerted countryside, often having only the hard mature corn from the fields for food.
Edwin Coppoc, the only white man unwounded in the attack, was taken prisoner with John Brown. A newspaper reporter, astonished at his youth and honest face, exclaimed, "What are you doing in this place?"
Governor Wise, also impressed by the boy, said, "You look like too honest a man to be found in this band of robbers."
"But Governor, we look upon you as the robbers." answered Coppoc.
Nine days later he was brought before the court chained to John Brown. The day after Brown's sentence, his trial ended with the verdict that he was to be hanged on December 16.
Asked if he had anything to say to the court, he stated that the charges of treason against the State of Virginia were not true for he had never made war upon it. He had never conspired to overthrow the government of the state. The purpose of the band was to run off slaves to a free state and liberate them. This is against your laws but he had never committed murder. When attacked in the engine house, there was no way out but to fight a little. If anyone was killed there it was a fair fight. He had killed no one. He had broken Virginia's laws, but the punishment for his offence should be very different from the verdict given.
During his imprisonment he wrote to his mother that all had turned out differently from expectations. He had seen his folly too late. He would try to meet death as every man should. though it would have been a great comfort to die at home. He regretted that he had had no other choice than to fight. A Quaker at heart, he was sorry that he had ever raised a gun.
Hundreds came to see him in prison and many exhibited sympathy. He was spoken of as an exemplary prisoner. As he had killed no one, Governor Wise made a fruitless recommendation for a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment.
An escape was attempted by Coppoc and Cook who had been captured when he left the party in the mountains to buy food. With knives they cut a hole in the wall which their bed covered. By notching their knives, they made a saw, with which they hacked through their chains. The night before their execution they dropped 15 feet to the courtyard and mounted the wall. As the guard on the wall, whom they hoped to find friendly. threatened to bayonet them, they had no other choice than to walk back to deliver themselves to the astonished jailer.
Twelve hours of life remained. Thomas Winn, the postmaster at Springdale, was with Edwin until the last but he could not watch the execution. Contrary to plan, Coppoc's body was not taken back to Iowa but was buried in the Friend's Burying Ground at Winona, Columbiana County, in Ohio, taken up and buried again, twelve feet down with tons of rock above it for protection, in the Hope Burying Ground in his birthplace, Salem, Ohio.
The day of the execution was a day of sorrow for all Springdale. Mary Ann Montgomery was sent to spend part of the terrible day with the grieving mother. Ann Coppoc Raley greeted her with, "I'm glad thou art come. Edwin was hanged at one o'clock today."
After a time she went back to Ohio to visit the grave of her son. While there she wrote her sister, who had lost a son as he attempted to aid fugitive slaves from Missouri: "On thinking the matter over, I see that there might be a sorrow even greater than ours. Yes, if our sons had gone into some horse- theft, murder, or robbery, and had been shot or slain in the enterprise, it would have been countless times worse, but going against our will, still the motive for it has to be looked at. They went to liberate their fellowmen, not for their own advantage."
Elza Maxson has shown me an ambrotype of himself which he had given to Edwin Coppoc. Twenty years after his death, Elza found this ambrotype in the deserted Coppoc house. Taking it from its case he found a message which must have been written in prison: "Dear Elza, farewell," signed Edwin Coppoc. A likeness of Edwin stood on a little stand in our library at Evergreens beside a likeness of George Fox, the Quaker saint and founder. Edwin was almost a relative for my aunt by marriage was his younger half sister.
For many weeks Barclay Coppoc was a fugitive with bloodhounds and officers of the law at his heels. Not until the day after Edwin's execution did he, gaunt and thin as a skeleton, arrive at his Springdale home.
Several young men in the neighborhood united to form a twenty-four hour a day guard for Barclay. In addition Elza Maxson lived with him and became his shadow. It was his duty, he said, to greet all visitors that came to the house and, if necessary, give Barclay opportunity for hiding. A carriage would drive up to the gate or a stranger would come on horseback. Elza would go out to meet the guest. As the whole country was aflame with excitement over the Harper's Ferry raid, many came hunting the man who had escaped. Some were self-appointed searchers. Since they had no papers, they could, with firmness, wisdom and tact, be induced to depart. Others had been properly appointed by the government of Virginia but did not have extradition papers. These also could be tactfully disposed of, particularly as more than one officer of the law went through the form of demanding Coppoc and the right to search, but was at heart glad to report back to their Virginia superiors that the task, distasteful to them and having no legal authority, had been executed without success. Barclay now went heavily armed. In this crisis the overseers of the Friends Preparative Meeting called on him as action on their part seemed necessary. On January 10, of 1860, the report was made to the Monthly Meeting that "Barclay Coppoc had neglected attendance of our religious meetings and is in the practice of carrying arms." As he refused to heed the "spirit of restoring love" he was separated from the meeting.
One day in January, 1860, there came to Governor Kirkwood's office in Des Moines, by now the capital of Iowa, a Mr. Camp from Virginia, who demanded extradition papers for Barclay Coppoc. When General Ed Wright, then representing Cedar County in the Legislature, on this day entered the Governor's office with Representative Galbraith, the Governor attempted to drop the discussion in their presence. However they heard the pompous, gruff, self-important Virginian retort, "I don't give a ------. You have refused to honor the requisition." Wright and Galbraith withdrew immediately. Within two hours a swift horseman was on his 165 mile ride to Springdale carrying a warning to Coppoc that Iowa was no longer a safe refuge.
The requisition papers were found by Governor Kirkwood to be faulty in four details. Until these could be rectified no extradition papers could be issued. While waiting for corrected papers from Virginia, Mr. Camp prudently lingered in Muscatine, a Mississippi River town to the east. During this time Coppoc could not be persuaded to flee.
However when the proper papers were known to have been honored by Governor Kirkwood, John Painter drove Barclay Coppoc, disguised with a false beard, accompanied by Thaddeus Maxson, brother of Elza, through a furious snowstorm twenty-five miles to Mechanicsville to catch a train for Chicago. There they made their way through a raging blizzard to the home of a negro who collected funds from other negroes in the city for Coppoc's flight. When Mr. Camp arrived in Springdale with the proper papers and the sheriff, their quarry had flown.
From now on Coppoc returned home for only hasty visits. He was forever on the move, never knowing security again. At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in the Union Army and served as First Lieutenant in the 3rd Kansas Infantry. With the authorization of his superior officer, he returned to Springdale where he secured eleven recruits. The train carrying these young men to Kansas was wrecked by the burning of the supports of the bridge, 80 feet high, over the Platte River. Barclay Coppoc was among the dead.
There were those who rejoiced over his death. There were those who announced that it was only because Coppoc was a passenger that the train had been wrecked. When the news reached Springdale, the questions were at once asked: How did anyone in the South know that Coppoc was on that train? Was there an informer in their midst?
Mr. Maxson had a new neighbor, a stranger in the community. A Southerner? Perhaps. No one knew. Mr. Crew, another neighbor, coming home from the village met the newcomer. I have heard his daughter tell that he reined in his horse with the greeting, "Neighbor, I know nothing about you before you moved into our neighborhood. I do not wish to imply anything. I have no opinion whatsoever. But there has been a gathering of men in town discussing the fate of Barclay Coppoc. They suspect that some one in our midst gave information leading to the wrecking of that train. Suspicion has settled on you. They are coming out this way in a body. If you are innocent, all is well. If not, there is trouble ahead." Without a word the newcomer turned his horse about and rode away - out of the community, never even sending a message to his family.
1 Many of the older Friends in the community used the Quaker "thou" in my childhood. Others used the "thee" of the Quaker vernacular which later came into general use as the subject as well as the object of a verb. Both are used as they were used in the stories.

George Will: "[O]ne great conviction" of the Democratic Party "is there aren't enough abortions"
On ABC News' June 13 broadcast of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News analyst and conservative syndicated columnist George F. Will claimed that the "one great conviction" of the Democratic Party "is there aren't enough abortions." Will based his assertion on a quotation that he wrongly attributed to Senator John Kerry; it was former U.S. senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE) who actually made a comment similar to the one Will misattributed to Kerry.
While discussing news reports regarding Kerry's alleged interest in selecting Senator John McCain as his running mate, Will said:
WILL: It also made you realize what the Democrats really care about at the end of the day. Kerry said, "Well, I would make sure that if he [McCain] became the president he wouldn't appoint any judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade." So the Democratic Party has one great conviction and that is there aren't enough abortions.
On May 15, The New York Times reported that Bob Kerrey -- not John Kerry -- speculated about McCain as Kerry's vice presidential running mate, saying, "He [McCain] could remain a Republican, would be given some authority over selection of cabinet people. The only thing he would have to do is say, 'I'm not going to appoint any judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade.'"

BUSHKILL, PA (Summer 2015) – Summer has arrived in the Pocono Mountains and, with the addition of Blue Lightning all season tubing to The Villas and Fernwood Resort, you can now slide down the slope surrounded by sunshine and blue skies all year long. Gina Bertucci, spokesperson for Blue Lightning, said, "Summer is a great time in the great outdoors of the Pocono Mountains. Blue Lightning makes it possible to tube into the night under the lights." She continues, "We have been adding new attractions to our resort in the last few years including Pocono TreeVentures an aerial ropes adventure course, Pocono Zip Racer dual 1,000 ft racing zip lines and Blue Lightning Tubing - the only all season tubing park in the region."
Blue Lightning tubing is located on the slope that in winter is home to White Lightning Snowtubing using the same Magic Carpet lift to ride to the top of the slope. The park allows guests to experience the thrill of tubing throughout the year on lanes made of a blue synthetic turf-like material. It is easy to do. Customers ride the lift up to the top then glide down in hard bottomed tubes that are lubricated for an exhilarating experience much like sledding but in a tube without snow or water.
The Villas and Fernwood Resort Blue Lightning Tubing packages start at $164 a night midweek for a two night studio villa and include two tickets to Blue Lightning all season tubing. There are lights for night tubing throughout the summer. There will be special events such as Frugal Fridays, movie nights, Karaoke, Pocono Comedy Jam on Saturdays, specialty nights such as Pasta Night and Caribbean Night with a live band. Guests of the resort have preferred pricing for other resort amenities such as Pocono TreeVentures, Pocono Zip Racer, canoeing on the Delaware River, horseback riding, paintball, massage, and discounts to nearby attractions such as Shawnee Mountain Festivals and Bushkill Falls – the Niagara of Pennsylvania both located just minutes away.
Blue Lightning is open daily beginning June 15 from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm. It is located on Route 209 next to the Tree Tops and Fairway timeshare villas. Bertucci concludes, "Tubing is one of our most popular attractions. With the addition of Blue Lightning, we can now offer it year round." For Blue Lightning information and reservations go to BlueLightningTubing.com.

Who owns this space ?
I was with a friend from the office and I was looking for a parking space.
The outdoor mall was huge, acres of pavement and I saw a space.
A car was pulling out and that blocked my view.
I pulled in and the car wating stopped and a door opened.
A middle aged white guy came out while a woman waited in the car.
"Hey! that was my space !"
I had just been fired and I wasn't into being nice.
"No it's not, it A SPACE and I pulled it"
I gestured around the lot, wind whipping through my thinning hair.
He got red and said in a loud "I'm the boss voice"
"I was waiting for the space and you, you asshole took it"
I wished I had a mirror and could put it to his face and say" Who's the asshole in the mirror?"
But, I didn't and so I just stood there as he cursed and cursed and cursed.
The windows cracked open and the woman said "He's not with it, just get in side and let's park and go and eat"
He got bigger and redder and yelled " You deaf?"
"What are you gonna do?"
Greg got out of the car and waited on the other side of the car. That was kind of him, but who knew if this guy had a knife, a gun."
I smiled a bit, it felt GOOD to be an asshole and I could do it all day....
Finally I said, slowly and carefully, as to someone who didn't speak the langauge or might be a bit slow.
"This is a public parking lot and I'm parked. Go away take yourself and you're woman and eat dinner"
That was it for this guy. More cursing and now the woman was cursing too.
As she flicked the ashes out the window, she sneered and pulled her windows up.
Greg whippped out his cellphone and called the police.
"You know," the white guy said, "This would never work in the 'hood. You'd get shot in the 'hood"
WTF did this pasty faced dumpy guy know from the 'hood? He'd shit himself if he pulled this in the hood and get shot just to teach him a lesson.
"Lets wait for the police", I said and Greg noted that they were coming.
Sure they are I thought and waited in silence.
He hitched his SANs-a-belt slacks up and drove away.
I waited and drove away too.
I wonder did he come back and get "his parking place"?
I couln't care less and my day was MUCH better...
