King , 1934, King received recognition for his years of service to Calgary by being made a member of the Order of the British Empire, by His Majesty King George V. When word of his death came on July 22, 1935, the Calgary Herald aptly stated that George Clift King was "Calgary’s First Citizen". King joined the newly formed Mounted Police in Eastern Canada when he was 24 years of age, and was a member of the gallant contingent of 300 men who made the famous "March to the Mountains" to bring law and order to the west in 1874. King was known as a congenial and modest man and if the reference to the "King of Calgary" came to his attention, it would, no doubt, have evoked nothing more than a smile. members.shaw.ca /rcmpvets.calgary/king.htm

Mount Shasta Companion: Clarence King (1842-1901) It is said that King conceived of the idea of a geological survey of the 40th parallel while on the last leg of the Geological Survey of California at Yosemite in 1866 (Bartlett 1962; Rabbitt 1989; Young 1968; Wild 1981). Indeed, King is credited with the use of contour lines in mapping (as opposed to the commonly used hachure marks) as well as developing a new method of triangulation using theodolites on mountain peaks and using telegraphs rather than chronometers to determine longitude (Wild 1981; Goetzmann 1993). King contributed enormously to our understanding of the geology of the American West during his assistance on the California Geological Survey from 1863-1866, his survey of the 40th parallel from 1870-1878, and during his reign as the first director of the United States Geological Survey from 1879-1881. www.siskiyous.edu /shasta/env/king   (440 words)

Dictionary of Australian Biography I-K King showed sound administrative powers both at Norfolk Island and at Sydney, but though a stronger man than Hunter he was not strong enough to cope with the military officers, who were determined to maintain their vested interests. King's recall was probably due to Macarthur having been able to give his version of the trouble with the officers, while King had no opportunity of saying anything in rebuttal. King held that at least he should be given the next vacancy, but the governor, Sir Richard Bourke, thought it inadvisable that in a council of only 14 members two should be so closely related. www.gutenberg.net.au /dictbiog/0-dict-biogI-K.html   (440 words)
