Alexander was an intriguer from childhood, with as great a genius for self-promotion and manipulation as for war; and as great a thirst for alcohol as conquest.
ALEXANDER OF MACEDON is replete with a Table of Dates, fourteen maps and battle plans, and a 24-page appendix examining in detail the poorly documented battle on the River Granicus, Alexander's first victory in Asia against the Persian king Darius III.
Alexander's name must have been far greater than we can even imagine during and immediately after his life time, but I suspect that had the relative silence of writings about Alexander is due to the destruction of the library of Alexandria.

Moulton says she has "no opinion" on whether Alexander had a conflict of interest when he approved the plan; Foote, who notes that the parks boss "was not part of the discussion" over Gardens zoning issues, says she "really can't comment" on a possible conflict.
Alexander, who confirms being left out of the loop on the cease-and-desist order, insists he had no choice but to make the call on the master plan, which he refers to as "a superb design."
But if Moulton is successful in reopening the planning process with her agency at the helm, the buck would no longer stop with the parks boss but would be passed to city council, which has the authority to approve comprehensive plans.

 Genealogy
Alexander died in 1766 and was buried in March of that year at the original Sugaw (often pronounced "Sugar") Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery on Craighead Road, in Charlotte NC.
It has been stated that Rev. Alexander arrived in NC as a widower in 1756, thus this marriage would have been a short one, perhaps from 1754-56, ending with her early death or an annulment.
Martin, who is mentioned in the Foote reference as the person who was supposed to "install" Alexander Craighead at Rocky River (Sugar Creek NC) in 1758, but was not able to travel to do so, thus Alexander was installed by his son-in-law, Rev. Richardson, instead.

Foote, William Henry, Sketches of North Carolina, Historical and Biographical, Illustrative of the Principles of a Portion of Her Early Settlers: Electronic Edition.
The muster rolls as published in book form in 1851 in Raleigh list "Salamachus" Alexander in the Second Regiment of the Mecklenburg County Detached Militia in 1814, under Major General Montford "Tokes." The correctly spelled name of the commanding officer is Stokes.
Because Telemacus was of the appropriate age to belong to the militia at that time, in a family who strictly served their military duty, and the name Salamachus does not seem to refer to anyone else, it is safe to assume this is a misreading and misspelling of Telemacus.

Based on previous work (Foote, Seligman, Handelsman, Magura and Rosenblum, 1994; Seligman, Foote, Magura, Handelsman, Rosenblum, Lovejoy and Stimmel, 1996), the use of such techniques as "engagement facilitators" seems critical, especially in the context of preparation for further treatment.
In particular, the group setting can heighten the impact of one specific factor in patient resistance/defensiveness, which is the need to defend against real or imagined social condemnation.
