Hough was born in Newton, Iowa on June 28, 1857. He was in Newton High School's first graduating class of three in 1875.[1] He graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1880 and later studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1882.[2] His first article, "Far From The Madding Crowd," was published in Forest and Stream in 1882.[2]
He moved to White Oaks, New Mexico, practiced law there, and wrote for the White Oaks newspaper Golden Era for a year and a half, returning to Iowa when his mother was ill.[3] He later wrote a novel, Story of the Outlaw, a study of the western desperado, which included profiles of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. Hough moved to New Mexico after Garrett shot Billy the Kid, and he became a friend of Garrett.[4] He wrote for various newspapers in Des Moines, Iowa, Sandusky, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, St. Louis, Missouri, and Wichita, Kansas.[5] In 1889 he got a position as western editor of Forest and Stream, editing the "Chicago and the West" column.[6] He was hired by George Bird Grinnell, the owner of Field and Stream, who founded the Audubon Society in 1886 which, along with Theodore Roosevelt's Boone and Crockett Club, was a leader in the conservation movement.[7]
Hough was also a conservationist. One of his projects for Forest and Stream was to survey Yellowstone National Park in midwinter 1893, with a guide and 2 soldiers from the nearby fort of the same name. There were supposed to be more than 500 buffalo there, but their count barely reached 100. Due to Hough's report, eastern newspapers took up the cause against poaching, and in May 1894 the U.S. Congress passed a law making poaching of game in national parks a punishable offense.[8] Later, he and other Saturday Evening Post writers wrote a letter for Stephen Mather and George Horace Latimer to sign, advocating the creation of a national park system. The National Park Service was created in 1916.[9] In addition, he was a co-founder of the Izaak Walton League, an organization of outdoorsmen, in 1922.[10] He wrote the "Out-of-Doors" column for the Saturday Evening Post and these columns later appeared in book form.[11]
In 1902, Hough began his association with Bobbs-Merrill Company (then Bowen-Merrill), which published his first best-seller, The Mississippi Bubble. Hough began a trilogy on America when he published 54-40 or Fight in 1909, dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt. He dedicated the second volume, Purchase Price, to U.S. Senator Albert Beveridge of Indiana in 1910 and the third, John Rawn, to Woodrow Wilson in 1912.[12] He nevertheless campaigned for Theodore Roosevelt, candidate of the Bull Moose Party, in the 1912 presidential election.[13] [mehr]

The Parish Of Selborne Lies In The Extreme Eastern Corner Of The County
Of Hampshire, Bordering On The County Of Sussex, And Not Far From The
County Of Surrey; Is About Fifty Miles South-West Of London, In Latitude
Fifty-One, And Near Mid-Way Between The Towns Of Alton And Petersfield.
Being Very Large And Extensive, It Abuts On Twelve Parishes, Two Of Which
Are In Sussex, Viz., Trotton And Rogate. If You Begin From The South And
Proceed Westward, The Adjacent Parishes Are Emshot, Newton Valence,
Faringdon, Hartley Mauduit, Great Ward Le Ham, Kingsley, Hadleigh,
Bramshot, Trotton, Rogate, Lyffe, And Greatham. The Soils Of This
District Are Almost As Various And Diversified As The Views And Aspects.
The High Part Of The South-West Consists Of A Vast Hill Of Chalk, Rising
Three Hundred Feet Above The Village, And Is Divided Into A Sheep-Down,
The High Wood And A Long Hanging Wood, Called The Hanger. The Covert Of
This Eminence Is Altogether _Beech_, The Most Lovely Of All Forest Trees,
Whether We Consider Its Smooth Rind Or Bark, Its Glossy Foliage, Or
Graceful Pendulous Boughs. The Down, Or Sheep-Walk, Is A Pleasing,
Park-Like Spot, Of About One Mile By Half That Space, Jutting Out On The
Verge Of The Hill-Country, Where It Begins To Break Down Into The Plains,
And Commanding A Very Engaging View, Being An Assemblage Of Hill, Dale,
Wood-Lands, Heath, And Water. The Prospect Is Bounded To The South-East
And East By The Vast Range Of Mountains Called The Sussex Downs, By

Butterflies Are Free To Fly
A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution

When Nicolaus Copernicus discovered the Earth wasn’t the center of the Universe, everything changed. When Isaac Newton figured out the law of gravity from a falling apple, everything changed. When Benjamin Franklin harvested electricity from lightening and Thomas Edison made the first commercial light bulb, everything changed. Today, when quantum physicists realize our physical universe isn’t real, that it’s just a hologram, everything … wait! Nothing’s changed - yet.
"Butterflies Are Free To Fly" offers a new and radical approach to spiritual evolution based on the recent scientific experiments in quantum physics and brain research outlined in Part One. Given that the physical universe which looks and feels so real to us is actually a unique holographic projection from our own brain, the author examines various models for life and living that are very different than what we have been told and taught.
“This is the only radical thinking that you need to do,” Dr. Amit Goswami is quoted as saying. “But it is so radical, it is so difficult, because our tendency is that the world is already ‘out there,’ independent of my experience. It is not. Quantum Physics has been so clear about it.”
For example, in Part Two we are introduced to something the author calls an “Infinite I,” which is creating our unique holographic experiences. Then there is the “Human Game Model,” offering explanations all the way from why we experience pain and suffering to how we can change our reactions and responses by letting go of our judgments, beliefs, opinions, and fears. The end result, suggests the author, is peeling away all the layers of false identities that make up the “ego,” transforming and emerging from our cocoon as a “no-self.”
Part Three of the book is a series of questions and answers to offer alternative explanations consistent with these models on subjects such as money, past lives, karma, trust, and the “Earth Environment.”
This book will leave you thinking, because this book is truly radical. [mehr]

Newton war ein dreiunddreißigjähriger Mann mit kurzen, dunklen Haaren. Ich hatte ihn als gut aussehenden Typen in Erinnerung, einen Mann, der ein hohes Maß an Ruhe ausstrahlte und den man respektierte. Jetzt lag er im Bett, zerschunden, rasselnd atmend, mit erschlafften Gesichtszügen und leerem Blick, der starr hinauf zur Zimmerdecke gerichtet war – ein Schatten seiner selbst. Newtons Gesicht wies viele Schürfwunden auf, die zu verharschen begannen, seine Hände waren dick verbunden, und ich vermutete, dass auch der Rest seines Körpers, der unter der Decke lag und den ich nicht sehen konnte, ziemlich ramponiert war. Er sah furchtbar zugerichtet aus, und das Bild, das er bot, sprang mir mit einer fast erschreckenden Schärfe in die Augen. Sekundenlang schien mich eine unsichtbare Hand zu würgen und ein seltsamer Druck legte sich auf meine Brust, und ich fragte mich, wann der Terror, der im Panhandle von der PCC ausging, endlich aufhörte. Nichts beschäftigte uns Marshals vom ‚District Court for the Northern District of Texas’ mehr als der Streit der Company mit den Farmern, Smallranchern und Heimstättern, der oftmals in blutigen Auseinandersetzungen gipfelte und der auch schon Tote gefordert hatte. „Hallo, Sheriff“, grüßte ich und erreichte, dass er den Kopf ein wenig in meine Richtung drehte und mich anschaute. Seine Mundwinkel zuckten, er musste zweimal ansetzen, und schließlich entrang es sich ihm: „Marshal Logan, dem Himmel sei dank. Auf der Circle-M spielen sie verrückt. Price hat mich gestern …“ Er verstummte, denn ich winkte ab, weil ich erkannte, wie sehr ihn das Sprechen anstrengte. „Man hat es mir erzählt“, gab ich zu verstehen. „Und nun erwartet man hier, dass Griffith eine ganze Mannschaft schickt, die in der Stadt für Furore sorgen soll.“ Cover: STEVE MAYER [mehr]

Benjamin Curtis was born November 4, 1809 in Watertown, Massachusetts, the son of Lois Ribbins and Benjamin Curtis, the captain of a merchant vessel. Young Curtis attended common school in Newton and beginning in 1825 Harvard College, where he won an essay writing contest in his junior year. He graduated in 1829, a member of Phi Beta Kappa.[3] He subsequently graduated from Harvard Law School in 1831 and was admitted to the bar the following year.
In 1834, he moved to Boston where he joined the law firm of Charles P Curtis Esquire.
In 1836, Curtis participated in the Massachusetts "freedom suit" of Commonwealth v. Aves on behalf of the defendant.[4] When New Orleans resident Mary Slater went to Boston to visit her father, Thomas Aves, she brought with her a young slave girl about six years of age, named Med. While in Boston, Slater fell ill and asked her father to take care of Med until she (Slater) recovered. The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society and others sought a writ of habeas corpus against Aves, contending that Med became free by virtue of her mistress' having brought her voluntarily into Massachusetts. Aves responded to the writ, answering that Med was his daughter's slave, and that he was holding Med as his daughter's agent. Curtis was one of the attorneys who argued the case on behalf of Aves.
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, through its Chief Justice, Lemuel Shaw, ruled that Med was free, and made her a ward of the court. The Massachusetts decision was considered revolutionary at the time. While previous decisions ruled that slaves voluntarily brought into a free state, and who resided there many years, became free, Aves was the first decision which held that a slave voluntarily brought into a free state became free from the first moment of arrival. The decision in this freedom suit engendered controversy and helped to alienate the South. It was in contrast to the Dred Scott decision, in which Curtis participated as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.[5]
Curtis became a Harvard Fellow in February 1846. In 1849, he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[6] Appointed chairman of a committee to reform state judicial procedures, they presented the Massachusetts Practice Act of 1851. "It was considered a model of judicial reform and was approved by the legislature without amendment."[7] [mehr]
