Take a look at this interesting web site: http://www.bartleby.com ----------------------- THE REFERENCE SECTION ----------------------- * THE COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIA (6th edition, 2001) purports to be the most up-to-date encyclopedia available. It contains over 50,000 articles, 40,000 bibliographic citations, and 80,000 cross- references. On the off chance that you were trying to remember the name of Michael Jackson's 1995 album that critics described as "petty, maudlin, and paranoid" -- it's in there. Use the alphabetic index or search for the object of your inquiring. <A href="http://www.bartleby.com/65"> Columbia Encyclopedia - http://www.bartleby.com/65 </A> * THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY (4th edition, 2000) is not your typical online dictionary. In addition to the 90,000 definitions you'd expect, the AHD has 70,000 audio word pronunciations, and 900 full-page color illustrations. <A href="http://www.bartleby.com/61"> American Heritage Dictionary - http://www.bartleby.com/61 </A> * STRUNK'S ELEMENTS OF STYLE - In 1918, William Strunk became the Emily Post of English composition with the publication of "The Elements of Style". This guide focuses on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. Words Often Misspelled should be required reading, while the Words And Expressions Commonly Misused chapter explains why it's certainly very important for the student body to avoid a literal flood of words when less would oftentimes be as good or better. As to whether brevity is truly the soul of wit, many truly clever people claim this viewpoint, but others believe that long-winded exposition is an important factor in effective communication. <A href="http://www.bartleby.com/141"> Elements of Style - http://www.bartleby.com/141 </A> * THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD HISTORY (6th edition, 2001) compiled by renowned historian Peter Stearns is a comprehensive chronology spanning the millenia from prehistoric times to the year 2000. But what's this? No mention of Middle Earth, or the impact of Dwarves on modern mining technology. Hmmm... <A href="http://www.bartleby.com/67"> Encyclopedia of World History - http://www.bartleby.com/67 </A> * ROGET'S II: THE NEW THESAURUS (3rd edition, 1995) picks up where the 1922 edition left off.

Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, and many others. <A href="http://www.bartleby.com/verse"> Verse - http://www.bartleby.com/verse </A> * The FICTION section starts with The Harvard Classics and The Harvard Shelf of Fiction, which offer a combined 70 volumes that cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject through the twentieth century.

Top it off with The Oxford Shakespeare - 37 plays and 154 sonnets. <A href=" http://www.bartleby.com/fiction"> Fiction - http://www.bartleby.com/fiction </A> * The NON-FICTION section contains some of the seminal works in history, from John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" to Booker T.

Does anyone know anything of a James Bracher or kin, born in Minnesota Point and living sometime in an orphanage in Bayfield? He was suppose to have been part Indian. An uncle said he saw his birth record at the St. Joseph Catholic church at Bayfield years ago. I can't find any records as far back as 1870 when he would have been born. He ended up in Green Bay, married a Julia Richter and had children James, William, Harry and Lloyd. Harry was my father-in-law and grandfather to my children. Any information would be more than welcome. Joann

I was in Superior a couple of months ago (for the first time in over 30 years!) and I believe I was told that Bong's plane had been refurbished and was going to be housed somewhere in Superior to make it more accessible. I remember seeing it in Poplar, though, when I was little. kirchie@charter.net wrote: > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZFC.2ACI/194.3 > > Message Board Post: > > There was Richard Bong who was a big aviation hero in WWII; he was from Poplar and was killed in the war.

Superior City, Wis., mourns the loss of four citizens by the Manistee disaster. Mr. C. J. Anderson and wife, and Mr. Andrew Langford and wife of that city took passage on the Manistee on that fatal trip, for Ontonagon. For some time their friends felt no uneasiness regarding them, from the fact that it was reported that all the passengers had left the boat at Bayfield, but their long silence finally induced inquiry, and it has been learned that none of the passengers booked for Ontonagon left the boat, and without doubt these people perished with the rest.
