The local community around the Nat Turner rebellion The 1831
Southampton Rebellion led by Nat Turner involved an entire
community. Vanessa M. Holden rediscovers the women and children,
free and enslaved, who lived in Southampton County before, during,
and after the revolt. Mapping the region's multilayered human
geography, Holden draws a fuller picture of the inhabitants,
revealing not only their interactions with physical locations but
also their social relationships in space and time. Her analysis
recasts the Southampton Rebellion as one event that reveals the
continuum of practices that sustained resistance and survival among
local Black people. Holden follows how African Americans continued
those practices through the rebellion’s immediate aftermath and
into the future, showing how Black women and communities raised
children who remembered and heeded the lessons absorbed during the
calamitous events of 1831. A bold challenge to traditional
accounts, Surviving Southampton sheds new light on the places and
people surrounding Americas most famous rebellion against slavery.
Newark Airport was the first major airport in the New York
metropolitan area. It opened on October 1, 1928, occupying an area
of filled-in marshland. In 1935, Amelia Earhart dedicated the
Newark Airport Administration Building, which was North America's
first commercial airline terminal. Newark was the busiest airport
in the world until LaGuardia Airport, in New York, opened in 1939.
During World War II, Newark was closed to passenger traffic and
controlled by the United States Army Air Force for logistics
operations. The Port Authority of New York took over the airport in
1948 and made major investments in airport infrastructure. It
expanded, opened new runways and hangars, and improved the
airport's terminal layout. The art deco administration building
served as the main terminal until the opening of the North Terminal
in 1953. The administration building was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1979.

...and so was the rallying cry that began the Spanish-American War,
when, on February 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded in Havana
horbor, killing 274 men.Perhaps the most famous icon from that
bloody war was the American assault on Cuba's San Juan Hill in the
Santiago campaign. It was not one of history's greatest battles,
but it was the battle that won the campaign... the campaign that
won the war... the war that dismantled the empire that had flown
the blood-and-gold colors of Spain since Columbus. This book is
based on the true story of Pvt. Alfred C. Petty's role in the
adventure that changed the world.Contrary to legend, it was not the
Rough Riders but the infantry who captured San Juan Hill. The
infantry took it while Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders were
capturing Kettle Hill, half a mile away, in a rip-roaring charge.
The Rough Riders fought as bravely as soldiers anywhere, but truth
must be told: the infantry did the job at San Juan, no matter the
die-hard legend.But not before the army teetered on the brink of
disaster. Someone had blundered - and not just once. The ailing,
315-pound commanding general, age 63, and top brass committed four
egregious blunders.And how could this proud corps of elite career
officers admit that a cheeky Southern bumpkin named Petty had done
the incredible in the near-debacle at San Juan? An ex-cottonpicker
with no formal schooling? A buck private who had been in the army
only forty-three days? A soldier who had disobeyed orders to
retreat? An inelegant rustic still wearing chiefly his shabby
civilian hand-me-downs? Unthinkable. Forget him.So they euchred him
out of the honors he deserved as one of our military immortals.
This is his tale... the incredible true story of Pvt. Alfred C.
Petty, the hero of San Juan Hill.
