Vivian Palmer Research Paper

One of the historical figures I admire the most is General William Jackson Palmer. General Palmer was born in 1836 in Delaware. He would go on to become “A civil engineer, Civil War soldier, owner and co-founder of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, philanthropist” (historycolorado.org). During the Civil War, he quickly became a young general and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. After relocating to Denver, his railroad success was only part of the impact he had on the Colorado frontier. He founded Colorado Springs with a Utopian vision in mind, and enforced a level of morality that was rarely seen in Colorado at that time. He would go on to establish organizations and buildings that aided the sick, supported and encouraged

Anne Dudley was born on March 20, 1612. She grew up in cultured circumstances and was a well-educated woman for her time. She was tutored in history, some languages, and literature as well. At the age of 16, she married Simon Bradstreet. On June 14, 1630, Anne finally felt American soil for the first time in her life. The Bradstreet family had moved to what is now called, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Anne had her first child in 1632, his name was Samuel, and he was born in Newe Towne, which that’s what it was called back then.

Being a licentious woman is something that society doesn’t like to speak on. It’s certainly not something that is discussed in high society such as in the political parties. In 1998, a sex scandal would rock the nation when Monica Lewinsky came forward about an affair with President Bill Clinton. This was a vast scandal, but was not the first scandal to happen in the politician world. Before, Monica Lewinsky there was Margaret Peggy Eaton. She would be part of a scandal that would later be known as the “Petticoat Affair”, that would cause conflict in the presidential party and with the wives.

From an early age Jordan Rudd, now a high school senior at Brownsville Veteran’s Memorial High School, demonstrated the athletic talent and the necessary dedication to excel. Jordan’s father, Brownsville CBP Officer Michael Rudd, was able to recognize that raw talent and competitiveness which is unusual for a six year old. Officer Rudd worked with his daughter molding her and providing her with the skills and technique she would need to make it on the basketball court. When Jordan got to high school, she already had a reputation as a sports prodigy, but what made her stand out was her commitment to the team and her good sportsmanship.

Sarah Winchester was born on September 1839 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was an American heiress who inherited a gun company called the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in which she became one of the wealthiest women in the world during that time. Sarah inherited 20 million dollars and about 50% of the company after her husband, William Wirt Winchester, died of pulmonary tuberculosis. Long before her husband’s death, she gave birth to her only daughter, Annie Pardee Winchester, but died of “marasmus” which is a disease in which the body wastes away. The deaths of her husband and daughter left her to grieve and at some point, in a state of madness. Sarah Winchester is known as the person behind the construction of the “Haunted” Winchester Mystery House.

She noticed during her visit to France and Belgium that prostitutes were denied their rights. Also, the state licensing of prostitutes had extended to other countries including Switzerland and Netherlands, imposing fear among those who were opposed to the CD Acts. Josephine was convinced that the there were not many opposition throughout the continent. Therefore, she decided to move to Paris, with her son, Stanley, as her companion. She did not know anyone from Paris, but she managed to receive support from a Pastor and was able to convince the public regarding the horrific CD Acts’ by speaking French. Then, she travelled to Rome, Switzerland and Geneva, to hold meetings, but the greatest problem still lies in Paris. The St Lazare hospital in Paris was a nightmare for prostitutes, for it was overcrowded; reeked of sewage, and the treatment was equipped with unhygienic medical tools, which spread the diseases even more. Yet, miracles were always with her, for Josephine received support from the Archbishops of both Orleans and Paris, where both had already begun a campaign against the hospital. She continued to hold public meetings and to fight for the European slave trade, before coming back to England. Later, she was disturbed when she heard that English women were being tricked by job offers into going to Belgium,

Out of all thirty three living Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, I am most interested in hearing Betty Williams speak about her efforts to inspire peace. Betty Williams was awarded the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize for her work and devotion to bettering the lives of suffering children. The 1976 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded to Betty Williams and her partner Mairead Corrigan in 1977 because the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided that the 1976 prize had to be reserved for the following year since none of the year’s candidates for the award matched the criteria ("Nobel Peace Prize 1976"). Mrs. Williams founded the Global Children’s Studies Center in 1992 which eventually developed into the World Centres of Compassion for Children International in 1997 ("Betty Williams -

According to Hamilton, his family was visiting relatives for the summer when a certain day in 1791 a woman called upon him for help; her name is Maria Reynolds.

So, “Revelations about the treasury secretary’s sex life forces him to choose between candor and his career.” (Serratore)

On the day of March 6 1979 everything seemed normal in the scenic European country called Poland. Passerbys walked along the streets, bundled up in warm clothes, birds sang their melodies, children were in school, adults were working, and children were born. One of these children, however, would go on to make a name for herself almost halfway across the world on a small and somewhat reclusive island in America.
