Death Date 09/12/1902 Occupation Politician Biographical Text Shepherd was born in southwest Washington, DC, in the 1830s. When he was about 10 years old, his father died. Three years later, he left school for a job with a plumbing and gas fitting business to help support his mother and siblings. He rose through the company, opened his own plumbing business, and used those profits to become involved in real estate in the District. As his wealth increased, he expanded his business interests to include banks and local newspapers. In 1862, he married Mary Grice Young, also from Washington, DC. Shepherd’s interest in politics grew as he rose into Washington’s elite business and social circles. In 1861, he was elected to City Council, and served three one-year terms. At the time, the District of Columbia was made up of a collection of small local governments, and Washington and Georgetown were separate cities. Shepherd and his allies lobbied Congress for a single territorial government for the entire District, which would bring it under the control of a governor and council appointed by the President of the United States. The Organic Act of 1871 passed, and Henry D. Cooke was appointed the District’s first governor, with Shepherd appointed to the Board of Public Works. As head of the Board of Public Works, and later Governor, Shepherd made substantial changes in the city’s built landscape. He oversaw the installation of wooden and stone sidewalks, the paving of city streets, and the planting trees on residential roads. He also filled the Washington City Canal and covered major portions of Tiber Creek. Not everyone approved of his bold actions and construction projects throughout the city. Congress fired Shepard in 1874. Shepherd remained in Washington until 1876 when he declared bankruptcy and moved to Mexico.There, he purchased a controlling share in a silver mine in Batopilas, Chihuahua. He eventually moved his wife and nine children to join him in Batopilas. Shepherd used his financial influence to improve the city’s facilities. He died in 1902 in Mexico, but he is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, DC.

He enjoyed learning and was particularly interested in science. His first recorded job, at the age of 18, was as an assistant to traveling chemistry lecturer Professor Reginald Dinkelhoff. Two years later, Dinkelhoff retired and Lowe took over the show and the title of professor. In 1855 at the age of twenty-two, he married a nineteen year old French actress, Leontine Gaschon, who had come to the United States as a political refugee. The couple had ten children together. Lowe was intrigued by lighter-than-air travel. He built and flew his first balloon in 1857, by which time his father had also become a balloonist, or aeronaut as they were known at the time. Lowe promoted the possibility of transatlantic balloon travel, but due to a series of malfunctions was never able to make a sustained attempt before the outbreak of the Civil War. He had already gained the admiration of <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/349">Joseph Henry</a> of the Smithsonian Institution and conducted a demonstration of his skills by flying a balloon over the White House in June, 1861. Lowe secured the position of Chief Aeronaut in the Union Army Balloon Corps after a successful expedition during the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas). Lowe observed a number of battles as Chief Aeronaut before resigning in 1863 following the assignment of the Balloon Corps into the Corps of Engineers. During his time with the Army, Lowe met and mentored a young German who was very interested in air travel: Count Frederick von Zepplin, who went on to invent the aircraft which bears his name. After leaving the Balloon Corps, Lowe continued to experiment with gases, inventing ice making machines and other useful innovations. He made a fortune and, in 1887, moved to California. Lowe and his family settled in Pasadena. He died there in 1913 and is buried next to his wife.

Her home was a prominent brothel in the Washington area. Prostitution was not illegal in the District until 1914. Because of this Hall was able to create a profitable business. By the time Mary Ann Hall died in 1886 at the age of 71 her estate was valued at $100,000.

Waters was born in Oregon in 1898. In 1916, he joined the Idaho National Guard and was deployed to Mexico to hunt for the revolutionary Pancho Villa. At the end of his enlistment in 1917, he joined the Oregon National Guard and deployed to France to fight in World War I. He received an honorable discharge, returning home in June 1919. Waters was part of the last group of veterans to return from Europe following the war and, like many of his fellow soldiers, he had a hard time readjusting to civilian life. During the 1920s, he moved around the north western United States working at various jobs. As he traveled, he met other veterans who were also having trouble finding or keeping work. In 1932, Waters organized his fellow unemployed veterans in a march from Washington State to Washington, DC. The group, called the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/169">Bonus Expeditionary Force, or the Bonus Army</a>, demanded that Congress authorize immediate payment of bonuses due to veterans which were not scheduled to be paid until 1945. Waters and the veterans set up camps along the Anacostia and near the Capitol while the Senate debated a bill which would give them their bonuses. The bill was defeated and the Bonus Army was evicted from the city. Waters wrote a book about his experience with the Bonus Army, B.E.F.: The Whole Story of the Bonus Army, published in 1933. He enlisted in the Navy and fought in World War II. He died in Washington State in 1959. First Name for nav purposes Walter W.

His father was a rabbi, and his uncle was the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the British Mandate in Palestine. His family moved to Palestine in 1924. By the late 1930s, Kook had become an activist member of the Revisionist Zionism movement, a nationalist group within the Zionist movement, and he was a member of the group Irgun, a paramilitary Zionist group. Kook travelled to the United States in 1940 in the company of the founder the Revisionist Movement. There, he adopted the name Peter Bergson for his political work in the United States, so that his actions would not be associated with his family back in Palestine. Following the outbreak of World War II, as news of the Holocaust began to reach him, Kook worked to raise awareness in the United States of the dangerous situation for European Jews. With a group of like-minded activists, he took out full page newspaper ads reporting stories from Europe and even staged an event in Madison Square Garden to memorialize those who had already been killed. In October 1943 he organized a march of Orthodox Rabbis on Washington to raise awareness and advocate for more decisive action by American forces to help European Jews. The march, and Kook's activities in general, were not viewed favorably by some Jewish Americans, included the American Jewish Conference. The AJC, most of whom were Reform or Conservative Jews, believed that the best way to help European Jews was to defeat the Nazis, and they worried that activism like Kook's might stir up anti-Semitic sentiment in the United States. After the end of the war, Kook turned his attention to advocating for the establishment of Israel. He served as a member of the Israeli Parliament. He died in Tel Aviv in 2001.

People An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 02/20/1778 Birthplace Pennsylvania Death Date 06/07/1844 Biographical Text Margaret Bayard was born in Pennsylvania, the daughter of a revolutionary war officer. In addition to her seven siblings, her parents also raised her three orphaned cousins. Margaret and her sisters attended the Moravian School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where they learned German, arithmetic, and literature, in addition to embroidery and the other domestic skills usually taught to young women. In 1791, at the age of 13, Margaret went to live in New York City with one of her sisters and her brother-in-law, through whom she met New York intellectual elites. In 1800, she married Samuel Harrison Smith, a newspaper writer and publisher who was friends with <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/301">Thomas Jefferson</a>, then president-elect. Shortly after the wedding the Smiths moved to Washington, DC, where at Jefferson's request Mr. Smith established a newspaper, the Daily Intelligencer. The Smiths were among the earliest long-term, year-round residents of the new national capital, and became part of its core social community. At her home in Washington, Margaret Bayard Smith entertained politicians, artists, authors, and journalists, of all political persuasions. When she could, Smith spent time at her country house, Sidney, which although removed from the city was still within the boundaries of the District of Columbia. There, she had an attic room where she could read and write without the constant interruptions she experienced in the city. She wrote two novels published in the 1820s, as well as short stories, poems, and short non-fiction essays that were published in literary magazines and newspapers. Smith was also a prolific <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/363">diarist</a>, recording her thoughts in a series of commonplace books for most of her adult life. In addition to teaching her children, Smith gave basic lessons in reading, writing, and math to local children, including poor and African American children, and her servants. At one point her informal schoolroom served ten students. Her philanthropy extended beyond education; she helped establish an orphanage and school for girls in Washington.

In addition to attending private schools, he studied art informally with local artists and artisans, focusing on woodcarving and sculpture. He attended Harvard, where he studied classics, philosophy, anatomy, Italian, and French. After graduation, he travelled to Rome, where he stayed for two years, creating and studying art at the French Academy there. In 1827, he returned to Boston. He spent a year there creating head and shoulders sculptural portraits of prominent locals, including President John Quincy Adams. He moved to Florence, Italy, in 1828, and would remain there for most of his life. He studied with Italian sculptors who based their works on Renaissance sculpture; while this style was popular in Europe it was less well received by the American public. In 1832, he was commissioned by the United States Congress to create a statue of Washington for the Capitol. Greenough modeled his Washington after a statue of Zeus, dressing the American general and president in a toga. Greenough's <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/17">statue of Washington</a> arrived in Washington in 1842 and was immediately subject to criticism. Other sculptures executed by Greenough for Congress, such as <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/18">the Rescue</a>, were also disliked by the public and members of Congress. Nonetheless, he was well received by other artists, and was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1843. Greenough married Louisa Gore, also from Boston, in 1837. They had one child, a son. In 1851, the family left Italy due to an increasingly volatile political situation, returning to Boston. Greenough died the following year after a lingering illness.

In 1925, MacArthur became the youngest Major General in the US Army. During the 1930s, MacArthur served as Chief of Staff of the Army and helped to organized the Civilian Conservation Corps, which created jobs through public works projects during the Great Depression. A few of his many distinctions include receiving the Medal of Honor, becoming the only man ever to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army, and being one of only five men to ever rise to the rank of General of the Army. Additionally, MacArthur oversaw the occupation of Japan after World War II.

Title A name given to the resource Douglas MacArthur Description An account of the resource In 1932, MacArthur was the Chief of Staff of the Army when a group of veterans called the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/169">Bonus Army</a> converged on Washington to demand payment of bonuses by Congress. On July 28 the protesters clashed violently with police, resulting in the death of two men, <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/407">William Hushka</a> and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/434">Eric Carlson</a>. President Hoover ordered General MacArthur to evict the protesters. Accompanying the troops, MacArthur was present as they advanced using gas, tanks, and bayonets to clear out protesters who fought back with bricks and rocks. Though no shots were fired, the event hurt MacArthur’s public image.
