Topic: Events of 1879


  
  The Story of Madison-Chpt. 5
In 1879 (March 29), the chief event was the gutting of the Fairchild building, by fire; during the course of the conflagration there was a terrific explosion, from gunpowder stored in the basement, seventeen persons being injured.
The events of 1894 were: the opening of the University gymnasium, May 25; the annual meet of the Western Canoe Association, at Picnic Point commencing July 10; the meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, October 10-13; and the dedication of Cornelia Vilas Guild Hall, connected with Grace (P.) Church, November 15.
The event was celebrated at Madison throughout the seventh, eighth, and ninth of June by appropriate literary and patriotic exercises, in the presence of a large crowd of visitors.

 Robert Patterson, Jr.'s 1882 excerpt from "History of Washington Co."
Boyer also, in a personal interview with the present writer in 1879, positively affirmed that Rigdon had never lived in Pittsburgh previous to 1822, adding that "they were boys together and he ought to know." Mr.
18, 1879, only remarking that one who could hear her relate the incidents of her youth, and specify her reasons for fixing names and dates with an unusual distinctness, would find it difficult to resist a conviction of the accuracy of her memory.
The reliability of the persons who have, in the interest of truth, related his statement to them will be confidently vouched for by all who know them; and Dr Winter's evidence, thus attested, is of itself sufficient to establish the certainty that Rigdon, in 1822-23, had possession of Spaulding's manuscript.

 Federal Archaeologist
In 1879, the Anthropological Society of Washington (ASW) was formed; its membership included many of the anthropologists and archaeologists then beginning to be hired by the federal government, as well as others in the national capital who were interested in anthropological and archaeological matters.
Between 1879 and 1906, the preservation of archaeological sites, at least those on public lands, came to be another of the American resource types dealt with through action by the federal government.
The long time period between the events of 1879 and the enactment of the Antiquities Act in 1906 was due to uncertainty about how to best proceed.

 Ch19
El Niño events occur when the SOI is at large negative values; La Nina events occur at large positive values.
In other areas, such 'rare' events as heavy rains are considered to occur randomly in time, so the likelihood of 'pairing' a drought and a flood within a short time is considered highly unlikely.
These areas need to identify the frequency distributions of extreme events and consider the possibility that pairs or even clusters of 'rare' events might not be as rare as is the case in regions with more benign climates.

 Jeannette Arctic Expedition, 1879-1881
From 1879-1881 thirty-three Navy officers, enlisted men and civilians, led by Lieutenant Commander George Washington DeLong, participated in an epic Arctic adventure that defines the limits of human will and endurance in an overwhelmingly distant and hostile environment.
The undertaking began optimistically on 8 July 1879, when the Navy operated, but privately owned, steamer Jeannette left San Francisco, California, for an attempt to reach the North Pole through what was then believed to be open water beyond the Arctic icepack.
Jeannette remained in the ice as it drifted erratically to the northwest during the rest of 1879, all of 1880 and the first half of 1881.

 Anglo Zulu War Books
The Anglo Zulu War of 1879 caused many British soldiers and Zulu warriors terrible wounds, and disease was rife.
Hospital care was in its infancy, especially in the British army, and so it is remarkable that in the midst of this terrible war a nineteen-year-old English nurse, Sister Janet Wells, was sent from London to take charge of the isolated and overcrowded British army hospital at Utrecht in South Africa.
January 1879, shortly after the British invasion of Zululand, Viscount Chelmsford established a camp at Isandlwana for his centre column, consisting of 1800 Europeans and 1000 natives.

 United States and the Bolivian Sea Coast - Chapter 4
One should keep in mind that in those days US diplomacy was fully involved with events in Central America and the Caribbean, and perhaps the State Department was afraid of meddling in other disputes that did not affect it greatly.
This case also indicates the Chilean plea as a juridical proof which Chile recognizes, before the Arbitral Tribunal of His British Majesty, that Bolivia did have coastal territory which was annexed due to Chile's need for territorial continuity with Tarapaca, the Peruvian province that had also been conquered by force of arms.
Another matter that must be pointed out in the case of the Alsop Company is that of its extended duration from 1879 until 1911.
