Autumn 2011 Lower Bond Falls by Michael Via Flickr: Every autumn thousands of visitors from all over the world come to Bond Falls in Paulding Michigan to view the autumn colors. Some times you have to wait for a good view of the falls because of so many people. If you come in the dead of winter there are very few people there then but you have to deal with several feet of snow and zero weather, but I like winter the best.

I was semi-reading Valiant Ambition and honestly I feel like it's indicative of something wrong with modern society that so many people seem to be treating The Character Assassination - sorry, The Execution - of John André as a reliable source and a sane and reasonable assessment of André's character by someone whose hateboner isn't visible from space. It's not even like John Evangelist Walsh is an expert on the 18th century or the Revolution or André. It's like all these people prefer the idea of André as this manipulative-except-somehow-not-when-it-counts sociopath to someone who was, in fact, just that charming even though the evidence really points to him being just that charming.

I'm not just saying that because I'm an André partisan - 1. I've been in fandom for years; I know what unhinged hatred because some character wronged your fave looks like (where "wronged" doesn't necessarily mean actually did something bad as opposed being the canon love interest of the other half of your OTP or being more popular among the rest of fandom than your fave); 2. John Evangelist Walsh literally makes stuff up to make André look bad. Like I can give you specific examples where he makes claims that have no supporting evidence or conflict with the evidence that exists; and 3. I think D. A. B. Ronald's André-can-do-no-wrong version is equally bad, just in the opposite direction, and I would pay money to watch them cagefight. (Unfortunately Walsh is dead and if someone develops effective necromantic technology, I'm not wasting it on some obnoxious writer. I'm bringing André back.)

Tbh I feel like it was probably a warning about life in general that the two André books I know of that were published in the 21st century are this and the batshit Ronald bio. Like Flexner and Hatch aren't without flaws, but at least you get the feeling they're trying to be intellectually honest, even though Flexner needed an ancient Roman slave whispering in his ear "Remember thou art not clairvoyant or a novelist" the entire time he was writing. (Honestly I think even Sargent was attempting to be intellectually honest. He was just, you know, Victorian. The Tillotson bio is such a non-entity I can't even remember my assessment of it.)

I realize Philbrick's degree isn't in history, so you can sort of argue he doesn't count, but Richard Welch, who did the (disappointing, insufficiently proofread) modern Tallmadge bio is a literal history professor and he seems to have uncritically accepted Walsh's assessment of André as well.

I'm also confused why Philbrick (and this is actually kind of a Ronald problem too, except in a 4-d chess conspiracy theory way) seems to think that Arnold didn't care about André getting back safely. I think it's far more likely that neither of them knew what they were doing, that Arnold didn't realize that Joshua Smith was going to leave André partway through (because I think there's at least something of a modern consensus that if Smith had been with André, Paulding et al would have recognized Smith and not stopped them, but also if Smith was still there, André probably would have been less likely to tell them that he was a British officer), and that he overestimated André's ability to make it back to British lines in disguise. (I think for two reasons - one, that André clearly wasn't stupid, and two, I kind of have this theory that Arnold would have managed to make it back, because Arnold was a good field officer, which presumably requires the ability to think on your feet, but there's not really any evidence to think that was one of André's particular skills. And people are bad at realizing when other people can't do stuff that's easy for them. Also Arnold was better at threatening people than André.)

Like 90% of military (and political) history seems to be people in over their heads flailing desperately (plus personal drama), and that's probably a low estimate.

Also, is there evidence of Arnold being the unreasonably jealous type? Because I've read significantly less about him than about André, but honestly my impression of him when it came to his wives is that he'd literally have to walk in on them having sex with a lover to believe that they were cheating and then he'd probably cry a lot and wonder what he did wrong (and maybe then shoot the boyfriend, but I'm not sure he'd be fazed enough by one of Peggy's old flames that he would risk 20000 pounds and possibly his own skin by not making sure he got back safely, especially when there's really no reason to think that Peggy was into André at this point in time).

East Paulding Raiders Dominate in 49-0 Win Over Woodland Wildcats

East Paulding Raiders Dominate in 49-0 Win Over Woodland Wildcats In an electrifying season opener played on 8/18/2023, the East Paulding Raiders put on a powerful display, beating the Woodland Wildcats with a convincing 49-0 victory at Tiger Stadium in Adairsville. The Wildcats’ nominal “home” game was relocated due to unfortunate vandalism at their home turf earlier this summer. Background on East Paulding Raiders: Hailing from Dallas, GA, the Raiders represent East Paulding High School, a team renowned for its perseverance and dedication on the field. Over the years, the Raiders have etched their mark on Georgia’s football scene, clinching numerous titles and boasting a rich football heritage. Background on Woodland Wildcats: Representing Cartersville, GA, the Wildcats have been the pride of Woodland High School since its inception. A symbol of tenacity, discipline, and athleticism, the Wildcats have had their fair share of memorable games and moments that have won the hearts of many. Game Highlights: The game began with the Wildcats winning the opening coin toss and choosing to defer. Early into the game, Isaiah Livsey showcased his skills with an interception for Woodland around midfield. The Raiders, however, drew first blood with a 16-yard touchdown pass. East Paulding had already set a dominant pace by halftime, leading 14-0. The second half saw the Raiders ramping up the pressure even further. Baylor Thomason and Chantz Bouknight, the quarterbacks for the Raiders, had an exceptional game. Thomason threw three touchdowns, while Bouknight added another and also made notable contributions with touchdown runs alongside Javen Parker and Eddy Ferguson. Despite their determination, the Wildcats faced multiple challenges, including losing three pivotal starters during the game. Their offense struggled to find footing, and the defense, though commendable, was often put in compromised positions due to the Raiders’ offensive onslaught. By the time the final whistle blew, the scoreboard read a staggering 49-0 in favor of the Raiders. Woodland High’s Head Football Coach, Brandon Haywood, thanked Adairsville for their hospitality. Haywood reflected on the game’s challenges, highlighting the team’s depth issues and the impact of the lost starters. “We had a horrible time trying to sustain drives tonight,” Haywood remarked. Despite the setback, Haywood remains hopeful for the season ahead and emphasizes the importance of preparing better for future games. The Wildcats look forward to their next challenge as they prepare to face Coosa in a non-regional contest on August 25th. In conclusion, while the game was a tough pill to swallow for the Wildcats, it’s just the beginning of a long season. Both teams have their journeys ahead, with the Raiders seeking to maintain their momentum and the Wildcats aiming to bounce back stronger. Football fans will keenly watch as these teams progress in their 2023 campaign.

We've seen it and it's SO COOL!

The Paulding Light is an atmospheric ghost light that appears in a valley outside Paulding, Michigan. It is rumoured to appear almost every night, and legend states that it is the ghost of a railroad brakeman who was killed in a train accident.

The Paulding Light was first sighted in 1966 by a group of teenagers, and has been investigated thoroughly since then. It has been posited that the phenomenon is actually car headlights on nearby US Highway 45, magnified by an inversion layer.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

WALWORTH STILSON

The Writers of Knickerbocker New York is an essay on the Knickerbocker Group of writers by American essayist Hamilton Wright Mabie (1846-1916). The Knickerbocker Group included such writers as Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, William Cullen Bryan, James Kirke Paulding, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Joseph Rodman Drake, Robert Charles Sands, Gulian Crommelin Verplanck, and Nathaniel Parker Willis, all of whom are discussed in Mabie's essay, which was published in 1912 by The Grolier Club of New York in an edition of 303 copies.

For the publication, the Club commissioned American artist Walworth Stilson (1874-1962) to produce these eleven wood-engraved head and tail pieces for each of the book's chapters. Surprisingly little is known about Stilson and his career beyond his immediate family, his 2-year attendance at the Detroit School of Art, his work as an illustrator only up to 1912, a studio fire some time before 1925, and his death in 1962; a remarkable lack of information for a man who lived to be 88 years old. Still, we find these engravings to be quite charming.

Our copy, another gift from our friend Jerry Buff, who is also a Grolier Club member, bears bookplates from two other notable collectors:

The American adventurer and book collector Cortlandt F. Bishop (1870-1935);

and Harold Hugo (1910-1985), longtime administrator and president of the Meriden Gravure Company and a board member of the Stinehour Press since its founding in the 1950s. Hugo's bookplate is a wood engraving by noted South African-born British calligraphic wood engraver Leo Wyatt (1909-1991), who has signed the plate.
