 Biographies: John Bell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the winter of 1803-1804, John Bell and his family embarked on a journey over the treacherous mountains of North Carolina and east Tennessee that took them to an area called “The Barren Plains,” settling in the northwest section of present-day Robertson County, Tennessee.
This usually non-fatal disorder is known as “Bell’s Palsy,” and was discovered several years after John Bell’s death.
The author feels that John Bell's symptoms, when considered as a whole, more closely mimicked "Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactacidosis, stroke," a neurological degenerative syndrome (meaning they don't really know what it is) characterized by seizures, excessive migraines, convulsions, numbness and tingling sensations, fatigue and weakness.

 Williams' Life and Career--by M. L. Rosenthal and Linda Wagner-Martin
Robert Frost, of course, rivals Williams in his use of the native idiom--his poems are true to the speech and the trapped psyches of the New England country-people he knew; the dark elegiac and tragic strains running through so much of what he wrote carry it far beyond mere pastoral charm.
Williams, however, expresses the whole nation's character, and especially its urban volatility: its multiracial and immigrant streams of speech and behaviour, its violence and exuberance, its ignorance of its own general and regional history.
Williams, William Carlos (17 Sept. 1883-4 Mar. 1963), author and physician, was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, the son of William George Williams, a New York businessman of British extraction, and Raquel Hélène Hoheb, who was from Puerto Rico.

As one of the best known, awarded, and financially successful composers in US history, John Williams is as easy to recall as John Philip Sousa, Aaron Copland or Leonard Bernstein, illustrating why he is "America's composer" time again.
Williams found work with the Hollywood studios as a piano player, eventually accompanying such fare such as the TV series "Peter Gunn" (1958), South Pacific (1958), Some Like It Hot (1959), The Apartment (1960), and To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), as well as forming a surprising friendship with Bernard Herrmann.

 The John Williams Web Pages: The Plainsman
Composed around the time of his somewhat more ambitious score to The Rare Breed, Williams' score for The Plainsman doesn't offer the melodic variety of of his previous Western effort, but does provide further evidence that by this point in his career the composer was quite skilled at his craft.
During the first attack at "Snowden's Canyon", Williams' music provides most of the excitement: an accelerating tempo creates the impression of increased speed when the images themselves are rather static.
Given the limited ambitions of the film (and, presumably, the limitations of the scoring budget since this was intended as a TV movie) Williams does a decent job of helping the story to move along as briskly as possible.

 TIME.com: Part of the Way -- Mar. 8, 1968 -- Page 1
Last week, in a special election conducted to fill the congressional seat that was vacated by racist Governor John Bell Williams, Evers polled 33,713 of 114,767 votes in a race against six white conservative candidates.
Although Evers led all of his opponents and would like to become his state's first Negro in Congress since Reconstruction, the twelve-county Third District in southwest Mississippi is roughly 55% white; registered Negro voters, moreover, are outnumbered by about 125,000 to 70,000 at the polls.
Evers knows he must gain substantial white support and promises: "We're going to represent all of our people, fl and white, 'cause we're all God's children." But the prospect is that whites, who scattered their votes in last week's election, will coalesce to defeat Evers in the runoff.
