George Cone Beckwith, Man of Peace
George C. Beckwith
Edited from Appleton's Encyclopedia:
BECKWITH, George C., clergyman, born in 1800; died in Boston, Massachusetts, 12 May 1870. He was a Congregational minister, who devoted himself to the service of the American peace society, of which he was for thirty-three years corresponding secretary. He also edited its magazine, 'The Advocate of Peace,' and wrote the appeals issued in its name, in favor of peace congresses and the arbitration of international disputes."
George and Martha Beckwith are buried in the beautiful Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Mass., (a mile or so from Harvard Square) which, if you have not yet visited, you would benefit from putting it on a future tour.
While in the vicinity, yu may want to visit the church in Lowell, where Mr. Beckwith once praught. (teach>taught preach>praught)

The Spiritual Theory.
The backbone of the whole theory of spiritual existence in every school is, that there is immanent with man a spiritual essence, which, while the body exists, forms a part thereof, and when it decays, still remains and continues to exist, under such change of conditions as the death of the body has induced. Under this theory it is fair to infer, that the spirit which has been set free from the body of one person by death, and continues its existence in the distinctive spiritual state, is but an emanation from the structure of the body which it once inhabited, and possesses the same general character, as an entity, with that which resides in the body of another person now remaining on the earth. That the spirits in their disembodied condition can communicate with those in the flesh, is, therefore, as easy to conceive as that they can do so with their etherial companions, since, in both states or spheres, they partake of the same generic constitution; and whatever differences there are between them, are due, not to the different elements of their nature, but to the different states and degrees in which their common nature is developed.—Geo. Beckwith.
The Spiritual Theory
First—Some of the doctrines of the spiritual faith are:
1. That this life is a sphere of existence in which are developed the rudiments of a being which is to exist without end.
2. That after the occurrence of the chemical change called death, mankind continue to exist as conscious spirits.
3. That all spirit-faculties possess in the body are retained and exercised in the spirit life.
4. The type of character which an individual has cultivated or sustained in this life determines the state or condition of the spirit in the beginning of the next. In other words, the spirit-life may be compared to a graded school, in which the spirit is assigned to a class for which his discipline in the earth-life has qualified him.
5. That the capacity for improvement and progression, possessed by the spirit which in this form, is retained in the spirit-life. Hence—
6. That the state (sometimes called sphere,) into which a spirit at first enters on leaving the form, is not of necessity fixed; but the spirit, at its own volition, can attract more refined and elevated spirits, by whose co-operating influence it can pursue an endless course of progression in Purity and Excellence, forever assimilating itself more and more to the Ultimate of DIVINE PERFECTION.
7. That under certain favorable conditions spirits can and do, manifest themselves to, and communicate with, persons in the flesh; and for this purpose they sometimes make sounds upon material substances, or move such substance, and sometimes employ the organism of mortals who are susceptible to their influence, inspiring them to write, speak, personate those who have died, of whom they had no knowledge, tell the events of the past, present and future; perform acts of healing, and do many other things commonly classed as miracles.
8. That observation has shown, that by our mental, moral and physical state, we can aid or hinder the approach of the spirits to the earth. But the laws by which we are able to do this are as yet but imperfectly understood.
9. That persons who are susceptible to the influence of departed spirits are likely to attract those which are of a like character with themselves.
10. That the spirits which can influence one organism may not be able to affect another; and in case where the same spirit influences different persons, it will be likely to do it in different ways, and for different uses, according to the varying organism—G. Beckwith.

Sculpture of Jim Beckwourth by Andy Axtell
"Jim Beckwourth" by Andy Axtell
Bronze Medal Winner
Jim Beckwourth, a son of Sir Jennings Beckwith and Catherine Miskell of Virginia, roamed the US in the early 1800s, and contributed greatly to our knowledge and understanding or the geography of the land, the culture of Native-Americans, African-Americans, and others...and was a master of languages and the fine art of spinning a tale. And although many have tried to sully his life's accomplishments and innate abilities, time, and scholarship, is showing that many detracted from him out of racism, jealousy, and political and commercial reasons. Much like they do to this day.
Anyway, this is a wonderful depiction of the great man. I hope you enjoy it. And also wish I had done it! :)

A Brief History of Bramhope
A Brief History of Bramhope
EXCERPT
Bramhope is mentioned in the Domesday Book when the Saxon thane Uchill had a great manor here. In 1095 this passed into the hands of the famous Percy family, and in 1165 was sold to Ralph de Bramhope. In the 13th century the monasteries owned much of the land and had granges where sheep were grazed. The monks used tracks, such as Scotland Lane and Staircase Lane, as they travelled from their outlying granges to Kirkstall Abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries Henry VIII gave the land to the Earl of Cumberland. In the 16th century the Dyneley family moved into the area and acquired Bramhope Hall. In 1649 they built the Puritan Chapel, which was taken over by the Church of England after the Restoration.

"The announcement that the HST only has three or four more years of life has upset people both inside and outside the science community. Beckwith says he has received more than a thousand e-mails from people decrying the decision and even offering money. 'The outpouring of support has been phenomenal,' he says, 'and really very touching for all of us in the [HST] project. I think it's rare that a science facility has generated so much public good will outside of its own user base.' "
Help Steve keep Hubble alive with your emails and donations! His, and their, work is too important, and frankly beautiful, to allow it to die on the vine.

The Conundrum
Really Deep Thoughts - Awesome.
From Really Deep Thoughts
The Conundrum
Ruthie-Marie Beckwith
She was deep in thought as she considered the depths of dysfunction that held her love life captive. Her relationship with her cosmic mate had become yet another dangling participle in a long line of grammatical errors, still there, but not attached. What she needed was a sentence diagram, an expository essay, an authoritative source; something to guide her through what must be karmic refuse of past lives interfering with the present tense. Her life had become a thesaurus in search of a meaningful conjunction.
Action words could serve the purpose. She would steer clear of the passive voice and run, jump, leap, and soar. She would stand outside knee deep in prepositional phrases and serenade him with intransitive verbs. She would project superlatives across the ever-expanding schism between them. Lonely, lonelier, loneliest. Far, farther, farthest. Sad, sadder, saddest. Then again, she reflected, it might take an onslaught of forceful conjugations.
Alliteration might apprehend his attention in lieu of allegory. Onomatopoeia offered the option of oomph! Failing that, there still remained the sword and shield of analogy and simile. Her secrets are unfathomable fears curled up in a fetal position deep inside her womb. His aloofness is like rain clouds that hover ominously throughout a hot and humid summer day. Their prospects were balanced precariously on the tip of a euphemism.
Finally, she came to a conclusion. She'd pay homage to his contraction. She would offer up a simple sentence fragment. Love.

The Beckwith Papers
FROM THE WEBSITE (concerning Baruch Beckwith, MD):
The Beckwith family resided in Lyme, Connecticut until 1810 when Baruch Beckwith (1775-1855) moved to Beekmantown, N.Y., where he settled and practiced medicine until 1850. He served as the first town Supervisor of Beekmantown from 1821-1822 and then again from 1831-1832. Baruch married Lucy Mather (1777-1859), a descendent of Increase Mather.
Stager-Beckwith Mansion now home of Myers University, Midtown campus
Stager-Beckwith Mansion now home of Myers University, Midtown campus
FROM THE WEBSITE:
The MidTown Campus of Myers University will be housed in a building whose history stretches back to the mid-19th Century. Most recently known as the University Club, construction on this building began in 1862. It was built by Colonel Anson Stager, the General Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraphy Company. During the Civil War he also served as the Chief of the U.S. Military Telegraph.
As originally constructed, the building was over 10,000 square feet and cost more than $60,000 to design and build. It was finished in 1866. By that time, Colonel Stager had been transferred out of Cleveland so he sold the house to T. Sterling Beckwith, the area’s leading dry goods salesman. He and his family lived in the house until just after 1900. What was then known as the Beckwith Mansion (or sometimes the Stager-Beckwith House) was part of the renowned “Millionaire’s Row”, the section of Euclid Avenue housing the lavish estates of such notables as John Rockefeller, Leonard Hanna, Jeptha Wade and William Mather.

"He spoke of how every little step towards nonviolent solutions is backed by multitudes, all of those who have come before and worked for peace. Consider the lineage of Gandhi and King, and we never need to feel alone," Roots Kelso said.

Remnant of Beckwourth trail removed from Reno-area land sale
Remnant of historic trail removed from Reno-area land sale: "The remnant of a pioneer trail near Reno that's believed to still bear the marks of California-bound settlers has been removed from Washoe County's surplus auction block.
A stretch of the Jim Beckwourth Trail about the length of three football fields had been included in a 3.3 acre parcel. It includes a 300-yard swale or depression in the soft ground left by wagon trains.
The county bought it as a potential site for a new juvenile detention center, which since has been built elsewhere. County commissioners agreed Tuesday to preserve the land.

Sylhet
Sylhet: "Nestled in the picturesque Surma Valley amidst scenic tea plantations and lush green tropical forests, greater Sylhet is a prime attraction for all tourists visiting Bangladesh. Laying between the Khasia and the Jaintia hills on the north, and the Tripura hills on the south, Sylhet breaks the monotony of the flatness of this land by a multitude of terraced tea gardens, rolling countryside and the exotic flora and fauna. Here the thick tropical forests abound with many species of wildlife, spread their aroma around the typical hearth and homes of the Mainpuri Tribal maidens famous for their dance. "
