Ebenezer Brigham ( April 28, 1789- September 14, 1861) was an 19th century American pioneer, businessman and politician. He was one of the first Americans to explore southwestern Wisconsin and the first permanent settler in present-day Dane County, Wisconsin. A militia officer during the Black Hawk War, he served as commander of Fort Blue Mounds (or Mound Fort) and was active in both the Wisconsin territorial council and the state legislature during the 1840s and 50s. [1] BiographyBorn in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, he left his home state for the Northwest Territory traveling by canoe along the Allegheny River from Orlean Point to Pittsburg and then took a flatboat down the Ohio River until stopping at Shawneetown. He walked the rest of the way arriving in St. Louis in 1818. Working as a prospector, he followed the Mississippi River by horseback and stayed at Galena in 1822. One of the earliest visitors to the area, he helped miner James Johnson build one of two log cabins at the camp. Returning to Springfield, Illinois, he left there with a team of oxen heading for the lead mines region of southwest Wisconsin to build his own mining camp. He was originally part of a mining party which lived along the Platte River, only four miles from present-day Platteville, Wisconsin. However, the party soon left the area under threat from the local Winnebagos during the Winnebago War. [2] In the spring of 1828, Brigham arrived in Dane County, Wisconsin to work the lead mines near the site of Madison, Wisconsin. Although the mines had been previously occupied, the site had long since been abandoned and he built a cabin for himself. This was the first structure to be built in Dane County. His nearest neighbor was located 24 miles away in Dodgeville and, as of 1832, the only other recorded inhabitants were four French-Canadian fur traders south of Green Bay and east of Rock River. [3] Using such crude tools as a windlass, rope and tub over 4,000,000 lbs. was taken from the mine and hauled by wagon to Green Bay, Chicago and Galena, in total a 15-day trip. He later accompanied William S. Hamilton and Henry Gratiot and several others to Green Bay to negotiate boundaries between the miners and local tribes. [2] By 1828, he had established a successful lead mine operation at Blue Mounds as well as operating an inn and general store serving the local miners, local tribes and other travelers. His tavern became a popular stopover along the Old Military Trail, [4] and soon his small mining camp grew with settlers arriving from the Michigan and Illinois territories. He was honored by the Michigan territorial governor Lewis Cass and appointed a magistrate. He held the position of magistrate for four years, he also served as justice of the peace, and from the winter of 1830-1831 until 1837, as postmaster of Moundville. [2] During the Black Hawk War, he served as a colonel in the Wisconsin Territorial Militia. Fort Blue Mounds was later built near Brigham's home and he and his neighbors took refuge there during the conflict with Brigham remaining in command of the fortification. Involved in politics during his later years, Brigham was a member of the territorial council between 1836 to 1842, [5] state assemblyman in 1848 and served on the Dane County board of commissioners in 1845; 1848-1850 and 1854-1855. [6] [7] He died at the home of his niece, a Mrs. H.G. Bliss, in Madison, Wisconsin on September 14, 1861 and buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. Although the original cabins at the site had long since disappeared, the general store remained at the site for over forty years as a historic landmark until it was destroyed in a fire in January 1877. [8] His part is now part of Blue Mound and Brigham State Park, [9] the latter being named in his honor. [10] In March 1910, his heirs donated the site of an old blockhouse from Fort Blue Mounds to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin having been used during the Black Hawk War. [11] A bronze tablet marking the site of the fort was unveiled by the Wisconsin Landmarks Committee in a special ceremony held on September 5, 1910. A replica of his general store is also on display at the Mt. Horeb Historical Society Museum in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. [12] References

BiographyAs a chieftain living on the Illinois River, he took part in the Peoria War and was one of thirteen chieftains selected to represent the confederacy a peace delegation to St. Louis, Missouri. Under the escort of George Davenport, the chieftains arrived in St. Louis in late-December 1813 where a peace treaty was concluded shortly thereafter. Among those in attendance at the signing of the peace treaty included Black Partridge, Senachwine, Comas, Crow and Gomo. [1] [2] He and his band, numbering forty men not including women and children, moved north in 1827 using the Indian Trail Farm of Wethersfield Township to travel to Prophetstown and then to the Wisconsin hill country; this is the last recorded use of Native Americans to use the old indian trial. [3] During the previous winter of 1830-31, he and his tribe were camped at an old hunting ground near Pike Creek. He and members of his tribe were hunting dear when they encountered Daniel Dimmick, a settler for whom Dimmick's Grove is named after, and related a story of an Ottawa hunting party which had been attacked a group of Illinoisians many years ago. Many of them were killed and their war chieftain Chief Pontiac was wounded. A state of war lasted between the two tribes before the last of the Illinoisians were killed at Starved Rock during the 1760s. [4] [5] Among the major battles fought along the Illinois River, he recounted a battle fought a Terra Haute, Indiana between he and a rival chieftain, a Chief Sugar. Shick Shack led a force of 300 warriors against him and, although the number of Sugar's army is unknown, only 12 braves (seven Kickapoo/Pottatomie and five Miami) [6] survived after a nearly 14-hour battle. Another account claims he was only one of several war chiefs present at the battle between the Pottawatomie and Kickapoo against the Miami, placed in what is now Shades State Park during September 1775, and was one of the survivors. [7] Author and historian Nehemiah Watson, claimed that the battle was thought to be the same conflict of the Biblical hosts Abner and Joab which occurred at the Pool of Gibeon and the numbers of the combatants increased from twelve to three hundred to correspond with the legend. [8] In February 1832, he and Senachwine attended a war council held between the Pottawatomie, Winnebago, Sauk and Fox at Indiantown, a major Pottawatomie settlement on the Illinois. [9] [10] He may have remained to the area during the Black Hawk War and is possibly the same chieftain to have been involved in the capture of Black Hawk following his defeat at the Battle of Bad Axe. In 1832, he was sighted at Dixon's Ferry where he was friendly with the local residents and visited some of his old friends who had been stationed at the post. [11] He reportedly died some years later and buried near Chandlerville, Illinois, [12] one of them few Pottawatomie chieftains to be buried near their native villages. [13] On September 16, 1873, local towns in LaSalle County, Illinois held an celebration making the two hundred year anniversary of the discovery of Starved Rock. Among those honored were its discoverers, the French explorers Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette, as well as Shick Shack whose story to Daniel Dimmick was retold in a speech entitled "A Legend of Starved Rock" by Perry Armstrong, a noted author of the Black Hawk War and to whom the story was told to him by Shick Shack when he was 9 years old. Armstrong's speech received extensive press coverage and achieved some minor notoriety in its time. [14] References

Chilomastix mesnili infects about 3.5% of the population in the US. It is found in humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, monkeys, and pigs. It lives in the cecum and colon. C. mesnili has a similar life style to Giardia lamblia. Although Chilomastix mesnili is considered non-pathogenic, it often occurs with other parasite infections. C. mensnili maybe be confused with other pathogenic species during diagnosis. It can create a false positive which would result in unnecessary treatment or a false negative which would withhold necessary treatment. SourcesSchmidt, G. and Roberts, L. 2005.

He was born in Dunfermline, the eldest of four children of Erskine Beveridge (1803-1864) and his second wife, Maria Elizabeth Wilson (1816-1873). He was educated at the Free Abbey School in Dunfermline, the Edinburgh Institution, and the University of Edinburgh. His father died when the younger Erskine was twelve years old, and in 1874 the family firm passed from the management of a trustee to the joint control of Erskine junior, a brother, and a half-brother. By 1888, Erskine junior was in full control of the business following his half-brother's death and his brother's withdrawal. The company grew rapidly with the huge world demand for high-quality linens. Notably, Beveridge tapped the North American market and eventually opened a New York warehouse. By 1903, Erskine Beveridge & Co. Ltd. was a world leader in fine linen and had three branch factories in addition to its primary works in Dunfermline. Notwithstanding his success in business, Beveridge was also devoted to Scottish antiquarian studies. His first published book was a compilation of grave inscriptions called The Churchyard Memorials of Crail (1893), and he published two further works about Fife: A Bibliography of Dunfermline and the West of Fife (1901) and The Burgh Records of Dunfermline, 1485-1584 (1917). Perhaps his greatest antiquarian contribution was to the archaeological study of the Hebrides. He published Coll and Tiree: Their Prehistoric Forts and Ecclesiastical Antiquities in 1903. He owned a large house on the tidal island of Vallay, North Uist, and he excavated many sites in the area around Vallay, dating from the first millennium BC to the first millennium AD. These excavations, together with his studies of other parts of North Uist, led to the publication of North Uist: Its Archaeology and Topography in 1911. Today, he is regarded as one of the first and most significant archaeological excavators in the Outer Hebrides. [15] Some of the objects that he recovered are preserved in the Erskine Beveridge Collection at the National Museums Scotland. His notes formed the basis of two further books that were published posthumously. The 'Abers' and 'Invers' of Scotland (1923) was a study of Scottish place-names, and Fergusson's Scottish Proverbs (1924) was an annotated edition of a compilation published by David Fergusson in Edinburgh in 1641. He was also an amateur photographer, illustrating some of his books with his own photographs. A two-volume collection of collotype reproductions was published in 1922 as Wanderings with a Camera, 1882-1898. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland holds about 500 of his original glass plate photographic negatives. [16] Beveridge was a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, being vice president of the latter from 1915 to 1918. St Andrew's University awarded him an honorary degree. He married twice, first in 1872 to Mary Owst (1853-1904), with whom he had six sons and a daughter, and second to Margaret Scott Inglis, with whom he had two sons. He was a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church. He died at his house in Dunfermline, called St Leonard's Hill, after an operation for throat cancer. He was buried in the churchyard of Dunfermline Abbey. Sources

The entrance is at the east side. Although the structure has partially collapsed, it is still possible to enter one chamber. The antiquary Erskine Beveridge believed that a second and perhaps a third chamber exist. [17] Barpa Langass is located at Map Ref NF838657 (Latitude: 57.570295N Longitude: 7.290945W). It can be reached via footpath from the A867 about 5 miles southwest of Lochmaddy. Alternatively, one can park at the Langass Lodge Hotel, follow the footpath to the Pobull Fhinn standing stones, and then continue up Ben Langass to Barpa Langass. Sources

The first notably large residential property in Point Grey, a distinct municipality from the City of Vancouver until 1929, this edifice was designed by British Columbia’s respected, but largely undiscovered, architect, Sam Maclure. It serves as an example of Tudorbethan architecture, one of Maclure’s famed specialties, the other being the American Craftsman Style. HistoryInitially the residence of James Rear, General Manager of American Life Insurance, the estate’s name, ‘Rear House,’ reflected its owner’s surname accordingly. Architect Maclure was commissioned in 1909 to design the home, and construction was carried out during a four year period from 1910-1913. Rear’s four children, two boys and two girls, enjoyed the expansive property, which included an automobile garage, a carriage and stable house, an (unfinished, but children-friendly) attic, and a spacious verandah, which extended around two sides of the building, with a stone base and open enclosure above. Five years after the completion of the building, in 1918, Colonel Victor Spencer, son of businessman David Spencer, the founder of the department store chain ‘ Spencer’s,’ acquired the mansion, as the Rear family relocated to Pasadena, California. The new owner, veteran from the African War and the First World War, renamed his home ‘Aberthau,’ a Welsh term to indicate “a place filled with light.” In order to accommodate the new owner’s large family, the building underwent various major renovations, largely contributing to the house’s modern form. Under his direction, a new main doorway on West 2nd Avenue replaced the original entrance at Trimble Street. Further alternations saw to the elimination of the hall fireplace and inglenook, and the addition of the 2nd storey to the East Façade. The most noteworthy renovation however, was the incorporation of a stone verandah as the new family room on the West Façade. Passionately called the ‘Oak Room,’ it functioned as a popular reception area for parties and family gatherings. With the acquisition of lands to the north and east of the grounds, Colonel Spencer extended the gardens and built a tennis court. With its expropriation procedures in 1938, the federal government took possession of the property, so that the 22-room structure could function as the Royal Canadian Armed Forces’ Officers’ Mess for the neighboring airbase. For its purchase, together with 5.85 acres of land, the Spencer family received a sum of $94,466.00. The structure suffered several damages during the war times, with a fire destroying the roof and the attic being severely damaged in 1943. However, the collaborative effort of the Fire Department and officers assisted in the aversion of additional destruction. During this period, funds were allocated to modernize Aberthau’s plumbing systems, restore the ruined upper stories, particularly in the north-west corner, and to underpin and strengthen the mansion’s foundations. With the military forces vacating in the spring of 1972, the city of Vancouver, having merged with Point Grey decades before, obtained legal ownership the building when the nearby Jericho Beach was given to the municipality by the federal government. With Aberthau House being turned over to the Board of Parks and Recreation for the provision of intern space of the ‘West Point Grey Recreation Project,’ it was also recognized for its potential as a cultural and recreation centre. Further renovations and alterations were required, and in October 1973, City Council reserved $75,000 for this purpose. An additional sum of $25,000 provided by the Province’s ‘Recreation Facilities Fund,’ was also collected. A year later, with programming starting in September 1974, the newly refurbished cultural and recreation centre officially opened on the 16th of November by Commissioner May Brown. Current: West Point Grey Community CentreSince 1974, the Tudorbethan-styled Aberthau House has served, in conjunction with other facilities, as a recreational centre, offering a broad range of activities and programs for Vancouver residents of all ages. Creative art courses, dancing lessons, language programs, and music instruction are among the many selections which constitute the its various offerings. The community centre is jointly operated by both the city’s Board of Parks and Recreation and the West Point Grey Community Association.  The roomy chambers of the Aberthau House render it a popular venue for various social events. Available for rental, the large mansion may operate as the location for wedding receptions, parties, workshops, meetings, staff retreats, memorial services, piano recitals, and other social gatherings. The heritage site also presents several annual seasonal events, such as autumn’s haunted house, winter’s ‘Breakfast with Santa, and spring’s ‘Family Easter.’ The adjacent building, originally a coach house and horse stable, now functions as a pottery studio, equipped with twelve potter’s wheels and several work stations. It offers a range of demonstrative workshops and classes. In addition, on the property exists a fitness centre and gymnasium, which house a variety of aerobic machines, weights and accessories, such as wobble boards and Swiss balls. Drop-in exercise classes are held regularly for children, youths, and adults. Tudorbethan ArchitectureTudorbethan Architecture, also called Tudor Revival or Mock Tudor, became popular in the early 20th century for suburban and domestic homes. Drawing upon elements of the Picturesque Movement from the late 18th century, and Tudor style prototypes from the English countryside, it was popularized by famed Brit, Richard Norman Shaw. As it was one of architect Samuel Maclure’s areas of expertise, Aberthau House is a prime example of this architectural style. Exterior Encountering the Tudorbethan works of Wilson Eyre during a year-long study in Philadelphia, Maclure’s incorporation of Eyre’s half timbering and freely assembled stone technique projects itself unavoidably at Aberthau. Nonetheless, the architect managed to erect Aberthau with a healthy balance of his own distinctive innovations and traits of the Tudor Revival Style. The enormous masonry base is balanced by the vertical arrangement of the wood panels, and the stone chimneys, characteristic of the Tudor Revival style, anchor the almost Oriental nature of the eaves. The colour scheme, comprised of white, light green and dark green, also follow Mock Tudor guidelines. The green hues, which are employed on the trim and border details, contrast sharply to the white tones and the gray stone. The Tudorbethan influences are further punctuated by several over physical features, which are visible on the exterior of the building. These include:
Interior The interior design of Aberthau deviates from the Tudor form and relies on Maclure’s own signature approach. Highlights of the house comprise of a grand, central, living hall, paneled with hardwood and furnished with a fireplace, a winding staircase, and a two-storied gallery. Gargoyles guarding the library chimney, the staircase’s mother-of-pearl adorned newel posts, the hardwood flooring and the incorporation of stained glass, comprise the staggering list of ornate embellishments present inside the edifice. The maximum view of the surrounding scenery is encompassed in the layout, encouraging movement towards the structure’s windows and extremities. Meanwhile, the attractive central hall beckons inhabitants to the hearth. This ‘inward-outward’ pull draws from inspiration of the respected architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. The alterations made under the director of Colonel Spencer saw to the elegant Oak Room, whose linen-folk oak paneling and ribbed plaster ceiling proves to be impressive, and to the greater freedom in movement enabled by the West 2nd Avenue entrance.
