Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<p><em><strong>Elihu Phinney</strong></em> (1756–1813) was the first printer in Cooperstown, New York. In the early 1790s he lived in Canaan, Columbia County, New York, where he published the <em><strong>Columbian Mercury</strong></em>, and <em><strong>Canaan Repository of Rural</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong></em>.<br /><br />Phinney's company contributed to Cooperstown's status as a major publishing center through the first half of the 19th century. <br /><br />His sons, <em><strong>Henry and Elihu Phinney Jr.</strong></em>, took over the business in 1813, upon their father's death and became known for the 138 Bible editions that they publishing between 1822 and 1848, when their company, H. & E. Phinney, moved to Buffalo.</p>
<p>The Phinneys’ Bible publishing business, as noted at the top of the title page of this 1840 edition, relied on the firm’s stereotypes of Bible pages, proofed twice for accuracy in their entirety. The younger Elihu once stated that the company produced 154,000 copies of the Bible in Cooperstown in many different editions. About two thirds of these Bibles included the Apocrypha.</p>
<p>Phinney Bibles printed in or before 1848 came from Cooperstown, like this one. At about that time, however, the company acquired more modern presses, several workers lost their jobs, and the plant was destroyed in a fire. The company rebuilt some 200 miles to the west in Buffalo, New York, where additional Phinney Bibles were printed until the late 1850s.</p>
<p><br />A copy of H. & E. Phinney’s 1828 "Authorized" (i.e., King James) edition of the Bible, containing Old and New Testaments, as well as the Apocrypha was used by Mormon founder Joseph Smith as a basis for his "translation" of the Bible written between 1830 and 1833.<br /><br /><br /></p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<p>The <strong>United States Cavalry,</strong> or <strong>U.S. Cavalry</strong>, was the designation of the mounted force of the United States Army from the late 18th to the early 20th century. The Cavalry branch was absorbed into the Armor branch in 1950, but the term "Cavalry" remains in use in the U.S. Army for certain armor and aviation units historically derived from cavalry units.</p>
<p>Originally designated as United States Dragoons, the forces were patterned after cavalry units employed during the Revolutionary War. The traditions of the U.S. Cavalry originated with the horse-mounted force which played an important role in extending United States governance into the Western United States after the American Civil War.</p>
<p>Immediately preceding World War II, the U.S. Cavalry began transitioning to a mechanized, mounted force. During World War II, the Army's cavalry units operated as horse-mounted, mechanized, or dismounted forces (infantry). The last horse-mounted cavalry charge by a U.S. Cavalry unit took place on the Bataan Peninsula, in the Philippines. The 26th Cavalry Regiment of the Philippine Scouts executed the charge against Japanese forces near the village of Morong on 16 January 1942.[1]</p>
<p>The U.S. Cavalry branch was absorbed into the Armor branch as part of the Army Reorganization Act of 1950. The Vietnam War saw the introduction of helicopters and operations as a helicopter-borne force with the designation of Air Cavalry, while mechanized cavalry received the designation of Armored Cavalry.<br /><br /><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cavalry" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cavalry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cavalry</a></p>
This manual was produced for use of students at the training mounted service training school at Fort Riley, Kansas.<br /><br />The United States Army Cavalry School was part of a series of training programs and centers for its horse mounted troops or cavalry branch. In 1838, a Cavalry School of Practice was established at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, which in time also became the Army's recruiting center for new mounted recruits. Commanded by Edwin Vose Sumner, the program was started from scratch. The close association between field artillery and mounted units began with the location of the Army's light artillery, also in Carlisle, in 1839. Captain Samuel Ringgold trained his recruits and tested equipment for the "flying artillery", as it was called, and gained fame during the Mexican–American War.
<p>Beginning in the 1880s, the U.S. Army reestablished schools to provide intensive training in military specialties. The first of these was the School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry, founded at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1881.For graduates of the United States Military Academy, the school allowed practical application of the theories they had learned at the Academy. Here, also, student officers detailed from the field improved their knowledge of their profession. In 1901, the school was expanded into the General Service and Staff College and opened to officers of all branches; today, it is the Command and General Staff College</p>
<p>In 1887, the U.S. Congress appropriated $200,000 for a school at Fort Riley, Kansas, to instruct enlisted men in cavalry and light artillery, but five years went by before the Cavalry and Light Artillery School was formally established and moved from Fort Leavenworth. The Fort Riley post hospital, built in 1855, was remodeled in 1890 and became the headquarters and home for the school. In the years that followed, the school changed names. It was called the Mounted Service School from 1907 until World War I, when instruction ended for the duration of the war. In 1919, the Cavalry School took its place and continued until October 1946. With the final disposition of tactical cavalry horses in March 1947, the Army ended all training and educational programs dealing with mounted troops.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<p>The<strong><em> Poetic Edda,</em></strong> also known as <em><strong>Sæmundar Edda</strong></em> or the <em><strong>Elder</strong> <strong>Edda,</strong></em> is a collection of Old Norse poems from the Icelandic medieval manuscript<em><strong> Codex Regius</strong></em> ("Royal Book"). Along with the <em><strong>Prose Edda</strong></em>, the <strong><em>Poetic Edda</em></strong> is the most expansive source on Norse mythology. The first part of the Codex Regius preserves poems that narrate the creation and foretold destruction and rebirth of the Old Norse mythological world as well as individual myths about gods concerning Norse deities. The poems in the second part narrate legends about Norse heroes and heroines, such as Sigurd, Brynhildr and Gunnar.</p>
<p>The Codex Regius was written down in the 13th century but nothing was known of its whereabouts until 1643 when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then the Church of Iceland's Bishop of Skálholt. At that time, versions of the Prose Edda were well known in Iceland, but scholars speculated that there once was another Edda—an Elder Edda—which contained the pagan poems Snorri quotes in his book. When the Codex Regius was discovered, it seemed that this speculation had proven correct. Brynjólfur attributed the manuscript to Sæmundr the Learned, a larger-than-life 12th century Icelandic priest. While this attribution is rejected by modern scholars, the name Sæmundar Edda is still sometimes encountered.<br /><br /><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edda" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edda" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edda</a><br /><br /> <br /><br /><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_Edda" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_Edda">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_Edda</a><br /><br /></p>

TABBOULEH
This is a Syrian appetizer salad. It is somewhat unique
in that the longer it sets (within 2-3 days), the better it
tastes.
12 oz. cracked wheat
I large onion, chopped fine
I large bunch parsley, chopped fine
I½ fresh tomatoes, chopped fine
6 oz. fresh lemon juice
6 oz. salad oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook the cracked wheat for 3-5 minutes, or just long
enough to become soft enough to chew. Drain off all excess starch. Add onion, parsley and tomatoes, and mix
well. Add lemon juice and salad oil and stir in well.
Finish up with salt and pepper, and refrigerate for at least
two hours. If you ever get down into the " ,soft wheat"
country (Midwestern U.S.), it calls for a few modifications.
(1) The cracked wheat shouldn't be cooke.d, but should be
soa·k ed long enough to remove the excess starch and to
swe JI until it is edible. (2) The lemon juice and salad
oil should be increased to 8 oz. each.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
Melt butter or margarine in large baking dish or pan on top
of the stove. Amount will vary with amount of chicken, but
be generous. Coat each piece of chicken really well in the
b_utter; then while it is very moist, dip each piece in I
8-oz. box crushed cheese crackers. Place back into buttered baking dish. Place in 350° oven at least I½ hours,
longer if you like a crispy chicken. Turn once if possible,
but not necessary. Salt and pepper slightly during the
baking. The secret of the delicious flavor of this chicken
is the cheese crackers, so don't substitute.
