November 7, 1422: Shortly before his death, Henry V named his brother John, Duke of Bedford, regent of France in the name of his son Henry VI, then only a few months old. Henry V did not live to be crowned King of France himself, as he might confidently have expected after the Treaty of Troyes, because ironically, the sickly Charles VI, to whom he had been named heir, survived him by two months. Henry's comrade-in-arms and Lord Steward John Sutton, 1st Baron Dudley brought the body of King Henry home to England and bore the royal standard at his funeral.[21] Henry V was buried in Westminster Abbey on November 7, 1422. [1]
November 7, 1455: At Notre Dame Cathedral in France, Isabelle Romée, the mother of Joan of Arc, petitions a papal delegation to overturn her daughter's conviction for heresy. [2]

November 7, 1492 - The Ensisheim Meteorite, the oldest meteorite with a known date of impact, strikes the earth around noon in a wheat field outside the village of Ensisheim, Alsace, France. [4]
November 7, 1541: November 7, 1541: – Cramner and the Duke of Norfolk go to Hampton Court to interrogate Katherine Howard. [5] By late 1541, the northern progress of England had ended, and Catherine's indiscretions had become known to John Lascelles, a Protestant reformer whose sister, Mary Hall, had been a member of the Dowager Duchess's household; Mary had seen a letter to Culpeper in Catherine's distinctive handwriting, which is the only letter of hers that still survives, other than her confession.[8][9] However, there is considerable doubt as to the story's authenticity, since Catherine was not fully aware of the charges against her until the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, and a delegation of councillors were sent to question her on November 7, 1541. Even the staunch Cranmer found Catherine's frantic, incoherent state pitiable, saying, "I found her in such lamentation and heaviness as I never saw no creature, so that it would have pitied any man's heart to have looked upon her."[10] He ordered the guards to remove any objects that she might use to commit suicide.
While a precontract between Catherine and Dereham would have had the effect of terminating Catherine's royal union, it also would have allowed Henry to annul their marriage and banish her from Court. Catherine would have been disgraced, impoverished, and exiled, but, ultimately, she would have been spared execution. However, she steadfastly denied any precontract, maintaining that Dereham had raped her.[11] [6]

November 7, 1751: To Monsieur de La Mothe Fenelon.*[8] [9]
From Sheffield, the 7th November, 1571.
I have received your two ciphers of the third and seventeenth ultimo, and have had no opportunity of replying to you sooner than by the bearer ; after which I fear that you will not hear from me for a long time, for I have no means of writing either to you or to Scotland. My people are not permitted to go beyond the gate of this castle, and all Lord Shrewsbury's servants are prohibited from speaking to mine.
The displeasure which this Queen has expressed to you by Burghley, is followed in my instance by new severity and menaces. I am confined to my chamber, of which they wish again to wall up the windows, and make a false door by Avhich they may enter when I am asleep ; and my people will no longer be permitted to come there, except a few valets, and the rest of my servants will be removed from me. So she makes me to know that this cruelty will only terminate with my life, after causing me to languish unmercifully : whether this be in honour, in duty and in reason, I leave to be discussed between her and the King, my good brother, to whom she has made you write that with all these deferences
she will proceed with me, and refer to the judgment of the said King. I have had the honour to be married to his eldest brother, and with heart and affection have always done my duty in loving and honouring all that are related to him. This Queen positively promised me last year to set
me at liberty, whether she made a treaty with me or not ; since then she has entered into a negotiation concerning another with the said King my good brother, and there is no notice taken of the said promise as far as I see, but I am abandoned in this captivity. Call in question only my treatment, again you are refused audience for so doing. I should be content if the King by any means had some good friendship
with this Queen ; you write to me that they are in terms of making it by marriage or correspondence : I firmly believe that my matters will not in the end be so well arranged as you suppose ; inasmuch as the further that the negotiation of this new correspondence or friendship advances, I receive bad treatment and indignities. I was very ill-used before the arrival of M. de Foix, and I am now still worse, and
there is no cruelty with which I am not threatened. You know, Monsieur de La Mothe, that I did not wish to treat with her without the advice of the King and the Queen my good mother, and that you should not interfere in it, and but lately since have written to you the proposal made to me by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Bateman, of entering into a
new negotiation, and separating from France. To which not choosing to listen, I am treated in this manner ; and by the countenance of the said Shrewsbury and Bateman I perceive that they suspect that I have not given warning at all, which has greatly irritated them, especially the said Bateman. I am at their mercy ; and if it does not please the
King, my good brother, to make a demonstration, it appears that he wishes to abandon me altogether, and that he does not concern himself with what I may do. The Earl of Shrewsbury, as a great favour, said to me the other day that he was willing I should take an airing on the leads of this house, where I was about an hour ; he had already with much beating about the bush sought to intimidate me, by insinuating that I was to be delivered into the hands of my rebels. And then he spoke openly to me of associating my son to my crown, and I should not stir from this country ; and in conclusion was of opinion that I should write to that Queen by Bateman, who was then going to the court, without, however, giving matter or cause for it. I wrote a letter
containing only these three points :
That, in order to consider my affairs, and give orders for the payment of my debts, and remuneration of my servants, permission might be granted for some of my people to come from France to me ; or some of yours, if you yourself should be unwilling to take the trouble.
That a Catholic priest should be sent to me, to say mass and administer the sacraments.
And that I might hear from my child, and write to admonish him of his duty for the future, making no mention whatever of my treatment, of my kingdom, or my troubles.
Before closing it, I showed it to the said Earl of Shrewsbury, who did not seem pleased that I mentioned you, but not the said proposal, and my letter therefore was detained. That was the reason why I did not write to you, and left it to them to do, to see if they would say any thing of it to you. He boasts of musqueteers being sent to Scotland
speedily ; I pry you to have an eye on that. I have no means of making known my mind to the Earls of Mar and Morton, and, to tell you plainly, I am altogether resolved to die Queen of Scotland : if they will let me have the above, I shall do all that I can for their security, and will not hold to that that they come not back from France, or she shall do
without me. I am a miserable captive, and supplicate the king, my good brother, to have my kingdom in his protection conform to the ancient alliance, and to put his hand to it without minding such conventions as are proposed by my enemies, to whom I am resolved to yield nothing relating to my kingdom, but sooner to lose all. This would be to ap-
prove (if not entirely, at least in part) what they have proposed, that I was disqualified to return, and give them a pretence for always opposing my release. I shall make them a present of the government of my kingdom, at the cost of a perpetual imprisonment, in reward for the treasons which they have been guilty of against me. But I shall await what it shall please God to send me, and supplicate the said king my good brother not to lend an ear to such proposals, and not to be at the trouble of referring in it ; for it is a condition which I can have at all times, and which I have long since been sued for, even before the death of the regent.*[10] I am much troubled by the intentions of this queen towards the Duke of Norfolk, and pray to God that he may convert her.
I have given a memorandum to my tailor to send me some things of which I have need ; I pray you, under this pretext, endeavour to send to me, or at least something by the carriers, and do not forget the riband. I am very anxious to have some cinnamon water.
From Sheffield, this 7 th day of November.
P.S. Not being able to write to the queen, my good mother, I am obliged to trouble you with what I should only have addressed to her ; it is to request her to insist upon this queen that my linen and that of my women, before being washed, shall not be inspected and overhauled by the porters of this wretched prison, who say they have orders from the
said queen to do so. That Lord Shrewsbury or his lady may appoint me such laundress as they please, in whom they can confide, and that the men do not put their hands thereto.

A DECLARATION
WHEREAS lord Dunmore, by his proclamation, dated on board the ship William, off Norfolk, November 7, 1775, hath offered freedom to such able-bodied slaves as are willing to join him, and take up arms, against the good people of this colony, giving thereby encouragement to a general insurrection, which may induce a necessity of inflicting the severest punishments upon those unhappy people, already deluded by his base and insidious arts; and whereas, by an act of the General Assembly now in force in this colony, it is enacted, that all negro or other slaves, conspiring to rebel or make insurrection, shall suffer death, and be excluded all benefit of clergy : We think it proper to declare, that all slaves who have been, or shall be seduced, by his lordship's proclamation, or other arts, to desert their masters' service, and take up arms against the inhabitants of this colony, shall be liable to such punishment as shall hereafter be directed by the General Convention. And to that end all such, who have taken this unlawful and wicked step, may return in safety to their duty, and escape the punishment due to their crimes, we hereby promise pardon to them, they surrendering themselves to Col. William Woodford, or any other commander of our troops, and not appearing in arms after the publication hereof. And we do farther earnestly recommend it to all humane and benevolent persons in this colony to explain and make known this our offer of mercy to those unfortunate people.

November 7, 1811: The Battle of Tippecanoe was fought on November 7, 1811, between United States forces led by ancestor and future president, Governor William Henry Harrison of the Indiana Territory and forces of Tecumseh's growing American Indian confederation led by his brother, Tenskwatawa[23].

Tenskwatawa, the Prophet, Brother of Tecumseh.
In response to rising tensions with the tribes and threats of war, an American force of militia and regulars set out to launch a preemptive strike on the headquarters of the confederacy. The battle took place outside Prophetstown, at the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers.
Although the Americans claimed victory, the Indians attacked with fewer men and sustained fewer casualties. The battle was the culmination of rising tensions in a period sometimes called Tecumseh's War, which continued until his death in 1813. The battle was an important political and symbolic victory for the American forces and a devastating blow to the confederacy which never regained the strength it had before the defeat. Public opinion in the United States blamed the uprising on British interference and Tippecanoe was one of the catalysts that resulted in a declaration of war beginning the War of 1812 only a few months later.[25]

Tecumseh's War
In 1800, William Henry Harrison had become the governor of the newly formed Indiana Territory. Harrison sought to secure title to Indian lands in order to allow for American expansion; in particular he hoped that the Indiana Territory would attract enough settlers so that it could qualify for statehood. Harrison negotiated numerous land cession treaties with American Indians, including the the Treaty of Fort Wayne on September 30, 1809, in which Miami, Pottawatomie, Lenape and other tribal leaders sold 3,000,000 acres (approximately 12,000 km²) to the United States.[2][3]
Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet, had been leading a religious movement among the northwestern tribes calling for a return to the ancestral ways. His brother, Tecumseh, was outraged by the Treaty of Fort Wayne, and thereafter he emerged as a prominent leader. Tecumseh revived an idea advocated in previous years by the Shawnee leader Blue Jacket and the Mohawk leader Joseph Brant[27],
Scan_1[28]
which stated that American Indian land was owned in common by all tribes, and land could not be sold without agreement by all the tribes.[2][4] Not yet ready to confront the United States directly, Tecumseh's primary adversaries were initially the American Indian leaders who had signed the treaty. He began by intimidating them and threatening to kill anyone who carried out the terms of the treaty. Tecumseh began to travel widely, urging warriors to abandon the accommodationist chiefs and to join the resistance at Prophetstown. Tecumseh insisted that the Fort Wayne treaty was illegitimate.[5] In a 1810 meeting with Harrison, he demanded that Harrison nullify the treaty and warned that Americans should not attempt to settle the lands sold in the treaty. Harrison rejected his demands and insisted that the tribes could have individual relations with the United States.[6]

November 7, 1811: Although existing accounts are unclear about exactly how the battle began, Harrison's sentinels encountered advancing warriors in the pre-dawn hours of November 7. Around 4:30am, the soldiers awoke to scattered gunshots, they discovered themselves almost encircled by the Prophet's forces. Contact was first made on the northern end of perimeter, but the movement was probably intended as a diversion. Shortly after the first shots, fierce fighting broke out on the opposite end of the camp as the Indians broke through Harrison’s line on the southern corner and entered the camp. The attack took the army by surprise as the Indians shouted war calls and attacked. The brunt of the first charge came down on the right flank. Captain Spencer was among the first to be killed, being shot in each thigh. Governor Harrison later recorded his death in a dispatch to Washington. Of Spencer he said, "...Spencer was wounded in the head. He exhorted his men to fight valiantly. He was shot through both thighs and fell; still continuing to encourage them, he was raised up, and received a ball through his body, which put an immediate end to his existence."[17] Lieutenants McMahan and Berry, the other two Yellow Jacket command officers, were also soon wounded and killed. Without leadership, the Yellow Jackets began to fall back into the camp with the retreating sentinels. The soldiers quickly regrouped under the command of future United States Senator, ensign John Tipton, and with the help of two reserve companies under the command of Capt. Rodd, they repulsed the advance and fixed the breach in the line.[9][18][19]

The second charge on the line targeted both the north and south ends of the camp, with the far southern end again being the hardest hit. Over half the casualties were suffered among the companies on the southern end, including Captain Spencer and five other men in his company, and seven other men in the adjoining company. With the regulars reinforcing that critical section of the line, and the surprise over, the men were able to hold their position as the attacks continued. On the northern end of the camp, Maj. Daviess led the dragoons out on a counter charge punching through the Indians' line before being repulsed. Most of Daviess' company retreated back to the main line, but Daviess himself was killed. Throughout the next hour Harrison's troops fought off several more charges. When the Indians began to run low on ammunition and the sun rose, revealing the small size of the Prophet's army was, the Indian forces finally began to slowly withdraw.[9][20][19] A second charge by the dragoons forced the remaining Indians to flee.[21]
The battle lasted about two hours and Harrison lost 62 men (37 killed in action and 25 mortally wounded), while about 126 were less seriously hurt.[1] The Yellow Jackets suffered the highest causalities of the battle, with 30% of their numbers killed or wounded. The number of Indian casualties is still the subject of debate, but it was certainly lower than that of the United States forces. Historians estimate that as many as 50 were killed and about 70–80 were wounded.[19][21][22][23][24]
Fearing Tecumseh's imminent return with reinforcements, Harrison ordered his men to fortify the camp with works for the rest of the day. As the sentries moved back out, they discovered and scalped the bodies of 36 warriors. The following day, November 8, he sent a small group of men to inspect the town and found it was deserted except for one elderly woman to sick to flee, the rest of defeated Indian forces had evacuated the village during the night.

Harrison ordered his troops to spare the woman, but to burn down Prophetstown and destroy the Indians' cooking implements, without which the confederacy would have a difficult time to survive the winter. Everything of value was confiscating, including 5,000 bushels of corn and beans.[21] Some of the American soldiers dug up bodies from the graveyard in Prophetstown to scalp. Harrison's troops buried their own dead on the site of their camp. They built large fires over the mass grave in an attempt to conceal it from the Indians.[25] However, after Harrison's troops departed the area, the Indians returned to the grave site, digging up many of the corpses and scattering the bodies in retaliation. It was then that the Prophet supposedly placed the curse of Tippecanoe on Harrison.[9][24]
Aftermath
The day after the battle, the wounded were loaded into wagons and carried back to Fort Harrison for care. Most of the militia was released from duty and returned home, but the regulars remained in the area for a brief time longer.[26] In his initial report to the Secretary Eustis, Harrison informed him of a battle having occurred near the Tippecanoe River, giving the battle its name, and that he feared an imminent reprisal attack. The first dispatch did not make clear which side had won the conflict, and the secretary at first interpreted it as a defeat. The follow-up dispatch made the American victory clear and the defeat of the Indians was more certain when no second attack materialized. Eustis replied with a lengthy note demanding to know why Harrison had not taken adequate precautions in fortifying his camp. Harrison responded that he considered the position strong enough to not require fortification. The dispute was the catalyst of a disagreement between Harrison and the Department of War that later caused him to resign from the army in 1814.[27]
At first the newspapers carried little information about the battle to the public; they instead focused on the highlights of the ongoing Napoleonic Wars. One Louisville newspaper even printed a copy of the original dispatch and called the battled an American defeat.[28] By December, most of the major American papers began to carry stories on the battle. Public outrage quickly grew and many Americans blamed the British for inciting the tribes to violence and supplying them with firearms. Andrew Jackson was among the forefront of men calling for war, claiming that Indians were "excited by secret British agents."[29] Other western governors called for action, William Blount of Tennessee called on the government to "purge the camps of Indians of every Englishmen to be found..."[30] Acting on popular sentiment, the War Hawks in Congress passed resolutions condemning the British for interfering in American domestic affairs. Tippecanoe fueled the worsening tension with Britain, culminating in a declaration of war only a few months later.[31]

Attacks against settlers by Native Americans quickly increased in the aftermath of the battle. Numerous settlers and isolated outposts in Indiana and Illinois Territory were targeted leading to the deaths of many civilians.[30] Prophetstown was partially rebuilt over the next year, but was again destroyed by a second campaign in 1812. The Battle of Tippecanoe was a serious blow to Tecumseh's dream of a confederacy. When he returned, Tecumseh was angry with his brother who he had instructed to keep peace while he was away. The Prophet lost much of his prestige and influence after the defeat when his claims that the warriors could not be harmed proved untrue. Tecumseh continued to play a major role in military operations on the frontier, however, and by 1812 he had regained some of his former strength.[21] Tecumseh's troops made up nearly half of the British army that captured Detroit from America in the War of 1812. It was not until Tecumseh's death at the 1813 Battle of the Thames that his confederation ceased to threaten American interests.[32] When William Henry Harrison ran for President of the United States during the election of 1840, he used the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" to remind people of his heroism during the battle.[33]
Memorial
William Henry Harrison returned to the battlefield in 1835 to give speeches during his first presidential campaign. Part of his speech called for the creation of a memorial to preserve the battle site. John Tipton later purchased the land to preserve it and the mission school on the hill was purchased by the Methodist Church to be used a seminary school. Tipton left the battlefield to the seminary in his will and they maintained if for many years and built a larger facility at the location in 1862. In 1908, Indiana commissioned the creation of a 80 feet (24 m) high obelisk memorial. By the 1920s the site had became primarily a Methodist youth retreat. In 1961 the site held a large centennial commemoration of the battle was held and was attended by an estimated 10,000 people. In the following years the battle site became less trafficked and fell into a degree of disrepair. It was later taken over by the Tippecanoe County Historical Association who now maintains the battleground and the seminary building which now houses a museum dedicated to Battle of Tippecanoe.[34][31]

The Territory of Indiana was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from July 4, 1800, until November 7, 1816, when the southern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Indiana.... [36]
November 7, 1825 - Shawnee
The Treaty of St. Louis was signed on November 7, 1825 (proclaimed on December 30, 1825) between William Clark on behalf of the United States and delegates from the Shawnee Nation. In this treaty, the Shawnee ceded lands to the United States near Cape Geredeau.[5] In return for Cape Geredeau, the United States government gave the Shawnee a sum of 11,000 dollars and leased to them a blacksmith shop for five years providing all tools and 300 pounds of iron annually.[6] Moreover, peace and friendship between the two nations were renewed and perpetuated.[7][37]
In 1826, the Prophet moved with most Ohio and Indiana Shawnee to a reservation in modern-day Kansas. Here, the Prophet's quest for power continued. By the end of his life, Tenskwatawa lived in his own village with only his family. The other Shawnee people chose to live in the villages of younger and more prominent leaders.[38]
1826: Treaty of Mississinwas
The Treaty of Mississiniwas or the Treaty of Mississinewa is an 1826 treaty between the United States and the Miami tribe.
Terms
After negotiations with the Pottawatomie to build the Michigan Road through Indiana by James B. Ray and Lewis Cass on behalf of President John Quincy Adams, Cass negotiated a two more treaties to purchase lands in Indiana and Michigan, including the Treaty of Mississinewa. By the treaty, the Miami leadership agreed to cede to the United States the bulk of Miami reservation lands held in Indiana by previous treaties. In compensation, the families of Chief Richardville and certain other Miami notables were given estates in Indiana, with houses like the Richardville House and livestock furnished at government expense. The federal government agreed to buy out some of the estates granted by the previous Treaty of St. Mary's. Small reservations were to be carved out along the Eel and Maumee rivers.
The tribe was also to be compensated with $31,040.53, $10,000 of this in silver, the first year; and $26,259.47 in goods the next. Promises were made of a $15,000 annuity thereafter, in addition to monies provided for by other treaties. $2,000 per annum was to be set aside for the "…poor infirm persons of the Miami tribe, and for the education of the youth of the said tribe…" as long as the Congress should "…think proper…" Hunting rights would continue to be enjoyed "…so long as the same shall be the property of the United States."
Problems
One problem with the treaty was language making fulfillment of several US obligations conditional on the will of Congress. No such language limits native obligations pursuant to "the will of the tribal council," thus, the Miami party is at a distinct disadvantage. The United States, after a vote in Congress, can walk away from some of its obligations without breaking the treaty; the Indians cannot. Since most of the land in Indiana was soon parceled out to settlers, the Miami could not long enjoy the privilege of hunting on open land that was "…the property of the United States." This seriously curtailed the ability of most Miami to supplement their diet with meat from the hunt.
While the promises to the Miami elite seem for the most part to have been honored, the provisions for the maintenance of the lower orders were later modified to their detriment or ignored. The "commoners" of the Miami tribe, as they might be called, were left helpless in the face of the Indian Removal Act and were often at the mercy of agents from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, for whom the best interests of natives were not always a priority.[39]

Claude George Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, KG, KT, GCVO, TD, ( March 14, 1855 – November 7, 1944) was a landowner and the maternal grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II.
•From 1937 he was known as "14th and 1st Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne", because he was the 14th Earl in the peerage of Scotland but the 1st Earl in the peerage of the United Kingdom.
Life and family
Claude was born in Lowndes Square, London, the son of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and his wife, the former Frances Dora Smith.[1] His younger brother Patrick Bowes-Lyon was a tennis player who won the 1887 Wimbledon doubles.
After being educated at Eton College he received a commission in the 2nd Life Guards in 1876, and served for six years until the year after his marriage.[2] He was an active member of the Territorial Army and served as Honorary Colonel of the 4th/5th Battalion of the Black Watch.[2]
Upon succeeding his father to the Earldom on February 16, 1904, he inherited large estates in Scotland and England, including Glamis Castle, St Paul's Walden Bury, and Woolmers Park, near Hertford.[2] He was made Lord Lieutenant of Angus,[3] an office he resigned when his daughter became Queen. He had a keen interest in forestry, and was one of the first to grow larch from seed in Britain. His estates had a large number of smallholders and he had a reputation for being unusually kind to his tenants.[4] His contemporaries described him as an unpretentious man, often seen in "an old macintosh tied with a piece of twine".[5] He worked his own land and enjoyed physical labour in the grounds of his estates. Visitors mistook him for a common labourer.[6]
Despite the Earl's reservations about royalty,[7] in 1923 his youngest daughter, Elizabeth, married George V's second son, Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lord Strathmore was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order to mark the marriage. Five years later he was made a Knight of the Thistle.[8]
In 1936 his son-in-law's brother, Edward VIII, abdicated and his son-in-law became King. As the queen consort's father, he was created a Knight of the Garter and Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in the Coronation Honours of 1937. This enabled him to sit in the House of Lords as an Earl (because members of the Peerage of Scotland did not automatically sit in the House of Lords, he had previously sat only as a Baron through the Barony of Bowes created for his father).[8]
The Earl made his own cocoa for breakfast, and always had a jug of water by his place at dinner so he could dilute his own wine. Later in life he became extremely deaf.[9] Lord Strathmore died of bronchitis on 7 November 7, 1944, aged 89, at Glamis Castle.[10] (Lady Strathmore had died in 1938.[2]) He was succeeded by his son, Patrick Bowes-Lyon, Lord Glamis.[56]
November 7, 1955: Noel Price JONES. Born on October 4, 1882 in Linn County, Missouri. Noel Price died in St.Joseph, Missouri on July 20, 1964; he was 81. Buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
On July 2, 1902 when Noel Price was 19, he married Mary Susan SMITH, in Milan, Missouri. Born on June 13, 1884 in Sumner, Charlton County, Missouri. Mary Susan died in Milan, Missouri on November 7, 1955; she was 71. Buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
They had the following children:
72 i. Berthel Z. (1903-1986)
ii. Gail P. Born about 1904. Gail P. died about 1953; she was 49.[57]

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (/ˈɛlɨnɔr ˈroʊzəvɛlt/; October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American politician.[1] She was the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, holding the post from March 1933 to April 1945 during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms in office.[1] President Harry S. Truman later called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements.[2]
A member of the Roosevelt and Livingston families, Eleanor had an unhappy childhood, suffering the deaths of both parents and one of her brothers at a young age. At 15, she attended Allenwood Academy in London, and was deeply influenced by its feminist headmistress Marie Souvestre. Returning to the U.S., she married her fifth cousin once removed, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905. The Roosevelts' marriage was complicated from the beginning by Franklin's controlling mother, Sara, and after discovering Franklin's affair with Lucy Mercer in 1918, Eleanor resolved to seek fulfillment in a public life of her own. She persuaded Franklin to stay in politics following his partial paralysis from polio, and began to give speeches and campaign in his place. After Franklin's election as Governor of New York, Eleanor regularly made public appearances on his behalf. She also shaped the role of First Lady during her tenure and beyond.
Though widely respected in her later years, Roosevelt was a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness, particularly her stance on racial issues. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. On a few occasions, she publicly disagreed with her husband's policies. She launched an experimental community at Arthurdale, West Virginia, for the families of unemployed miners, later widely regarded as a failure. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees.
Following her husband's death, Eleanor remained active in politics for the rest of her life. She pressed the US to join and support the United Nations and became one of its first delegates. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Later she chaired the John F. Kennedy administration's Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death, she was regarded as "one of the most esteemed women in the world" and "the object of almost universal respect".[3] In 1999, she was ranked in the top ten of Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.[4]
Personal life
Early life
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born at 56 West 37th Street in New York City,[5] to socialites Elliott Bulloch Roosevelt (1860–1894) and Anna Rebecca Hall (1863–1892).[6] From an early age, she preferred to be called by her middle name (Eleanor). Through her father, she was a niece of President Theodore "T.R." Roosevelt, Jr. (1858–1919). Through her mother, she was a niece of tennis champions Valentine Gill "Vallie" Hall III (1867–1934) and Edward Ludlow Hall (1872–1932). She acted in such an old-fashioned manner as a child that her mother nicknamed her "Granny".[7]
Eleanor had two younger brothers: Elliott Bulloch Roosevelt, Jr. (1889–1893) and Gracie Hall Roosevelt (1891–1941). She also had a half brother, Elliott Roosevelt Mann (c. 1890–1941), through her father's affair with Katy Mann, a servant employed by the family.[8] Roosevelt was born into a world of immense wealth and privilege, as her family was part of New York high society called the "swells".[9]
Death

Memorial in Riverside Park, Manhattan
In April 1960, Roosevelt was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. In 1962, she was given steroids which activated a dormant case of bone marrow tuberculosis.[148] Roosevelt died of resulting cardiac failure at her Manhattan home at 55 East 74th Street on the Upper East Side[149] on November 7, 1962, at the age of 78.[3][148]
President John F. Kennedy and former Presidents Truman and Eisenhower attended Roosevelt's funeral at Hyde Park. At the memorial service, Adlai Stevenson asked, "What other single human being has touched and transformed the existence of so many?" He further praised her by stating, "She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world."[150]

1. ^ There are several different spellings of "Catherine" that were in use during the 16th century and by historians today. Her one surviving signature spells her name "Kathryn" but this archaic spelling is rarely used anymore. Her chief biographer, Lacey Baldwin Smith, uses the common modern spelling "Catherine"; other historians, Antonia Fraser, for example, use the traditional English spelling of "Katherine".

[23] Tecumseh refused to touch alcohol but his brother, Tenskwatawa, was a boasting, swaggering drunk. He had lost an eye as a child and wore a handkerchief over the empty socket, which gave him the appearance of a Corsican pirate. Suddnly in 1805, when a religious mania swept the frontier, he found religion and became a mystic.
The Prophet was transformed from a drunk into a wandering preacher and foe of the white man’s poison water. He was a powerful orator, and the intensity of his message began to reach the tribes. But hios words were those of Tecumseh: the Indians must abandon the life of the white man and return to the ways of their fathers.
From about 1808 to 1810 Tecumseh journeyed among the tribes, traveling as far south as the Seminole, preaching his philosophy that the only way for the Indians to survive was to unite. During his absence General Harrison, using alcohol and threats, forced the aged and feeble Little Turtle to sign away three million acres of land, much of it owned by tribes not represented at the council, for $7,000 in cash and an annuity of $1750.
Harrison met twice with the outraged Tecumseh, but each council ended in an impasse. At one meeting the Shawnee made his famous speech:
“Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the clouds, and the great sea, as well as the earth?”
Tecumseh, sensing a final confrontation was coming with the white man, intensified his efforts to unite the Indian nations while Harrison burned Prophet’s town at the junction of the Wabash and the Tippecanoe. After a savage two-day battle Harrison triumphantly announced to Washington that he had broken Tecumseh’s power, but the importance of the battle was grossly exaggerated.
On his return Tecumseh exiled his brother, the Prophet, for disobeying his orders not to fight the white man until the confederacy had been formed. The Shawnee leader joined the British in the War of `1812 to defeat the American invasion of Canada and later helped to annihilate a relief column of Kentuckians trying to lift the siege of Fort Meigs. He was killed by Colonel Richard M. Johnson while protecting the British retreat.
It was irony piled upon irony: Tippecanoe would help bring Harrison to the White House; Tecumseh’s death would help bring Johnson to the vice-presidency under Martin Van Buren. There is no known portrait of Tecumseh. A pencil sketch made by Pierre Le Dru, a young Frenchg trader at Vincennes, Indiana, 1808, is said to be a composite.
Painter:James Otto Lewish painted the Prophet in Detroit in 1823,However, this portrait was pai9nted in Washington by Charles Bird King.

[27] When the smoke of wood fires and burning leaves clings to the November mists in the Mohawk Valley, men still talk about Joseph Brant, the great Mohawk war captain who tried all his life to keep a foot in two worlds, the red and the white.
He refused to bend his knee to King George but gallantly kissed the hand of his queen. He had his portrait painted by the famous English painter George Romney. He was at ease drinking tea from fragile china cups, but could hurl a tomahawk with deadly accuracy. He was a graduate of the Indian school that later became Dartmouth College, and he translated the Bible into the Mohawk language, yet he could leave the Mohawk a blazing ruin from Fort Stanwix, near Rome, to the very outskirts of Schenectady. He was one of the greatest of American Indians; had he given his support to the struggling Continental army the course of our history would certainly have been changed.
But it would have been improbable if not impossible for Brant to wear a Continental tricorn;he was too vain and too closely allied with the Lords of the Valley to consider casting his lot with the humble Palatine Dutch farmers who talked so much of freedom. For Brant, they had the stink of cow dung about them; he was familiar with buckled shoes and cologne.
His decision to side with the British was tragic for the Iroquis Confederacy or Six Nations as it was called. That ancient confederation bound together by wisdom, skill at war, and diplomacy became helplessly divided when it was agreed that each nation should go its own way. In the past a declaration helplessly divided when it was agreed that each nation should go its own way. In the past a declation of war had to be voted unanimously. Some nations like the Oneida went with the Americans other tried to stay neutral, or like Brant’s Mohawk fought for the British.
Brant joined Colonel Barry St. Leger’s invasion of the Mohawk, one of the prongs of Burgoyn’s doomed campaign. The famous Battle or Oriskany, undoubtebly the bloodiest and most ferocious of the Revolution, was fought with Herkimer’s gallant farmer standing musket to musket with the King’s Own, the best of his Hessian gamekeeper-sharpshooters, and Brant’s painted warriors. Brant, who despised defeat,m led his Indians back to Frot Niagara, bitterly advising the British high command in Montreal that from now on he would fight his way.
For six years he led his Indian raiders into the Mohawk, again and again leaving the beautiful valley a sea of flames while the alarm bells in the tiny forts clanged frantically.
Some raids became classic atrocity stories of American wars: Cherry Valley, where women and children lay dead in the snow with Brant protesting fiercely that Walter Butler, who led Butler’s Rangers, was to blame; Wyoming, which gave birth to the celebrated eighteenth-century poem “Gertrude of Wyoming,” which pictures Brant as a murderousd fiend who slaughtered the innocent. But as it developed Brant was never there.
Following the Revolution Brant led his people, the first American DPs, across the border to settle in Canada.
He came in solitary glory to Philadelphia in 1792 to see Washington and his cabinet, but only after the other Iroquois chiefs, like Cornplanter and Red Jackt, had already left the capital. It was typicalof Brant. Humilyut was alien to the Mohawk; in fact, pride and arrogance were his major flaws.
Brant was no wigwam, story book Indian dressed in Buckskins staind with bear grease and smelling of a thousand campfires. He was educated, he wrote with the grace and lucidity that was far beyond many of the farmers he had fought against. His clothes were of the finest material, and in his luxurious home elaborate meals were served on crisp Irish linen. He had a host of slaves, as many as the aristocratic Virginians who would later rule the United States
He died in his fine home on Grand River, Ontario, November 24, 1807, whispering with his last breath: Have pity on the poor Indians.” Painter: Brant was painted by many famous artist; among them were Romney, Charles Willson Peal, George Catlin, and Wilhelm Berezy. It is not certain who painted this post-revolutionary portrait. (The McKenney-Hall Portrait Gallery of American Indians by James D. Horan.)

[30] This Winnebago chief (Wakawn, or the Snake), a follower of Tecumseh, was in the Battle of Tippecanoe when General Harrison’s troops stormed the Prophet’s town in the autumn of 1811. He was wounded but escaped to Fort Malden where he fought with the Shawnee leader on the side of the British until peace was declared.
The Snake, as he was known on the frontier, denounced the commander of the fort for leaving his Indian allies to the mercy of the Americans, then crossed the border to make his own peace with the United States. He endorsed Indian removal and according to Colonel McKenney “was the first Winnebago of any note who crossed the river [Mississippi]…”
When an Indian school was established at Prairie du Chien in 1834, the Snake insisted all the children in his nation must attend. To set an example he asked the Reverend David Lowry, a missionary who had devotee his life to the Winnebago, to teach him English and rudimentary facts about farming,.
He had an immediate confrontation with other Winnebago chiefs who denounced him for accepting the ways of the white man. Colonel McKenney gives no details but claims on one occasion that the Snake “defended his opinions at the risk of his life.”
He alo did what few Indians, chiefs, or warriors whould ever dare to do;’ he tossed aside his blanket and helped his wife plow their fields.
He wisely advised Lowry not to waste his time on the older Winnebago but to consentrateon the yong. Indians who had spent all their adult lives in the free and easy life on the plains would never take up the plow, he warned the clergymean, but their children might listen to him.
To show its apprecitation of the Snak’s attempts to abandon his ways, the government built him a log house with a chimney and fireplace. When the agent returned a few months later he was startled to see smoke coming from the the center of roof. He ddiscovered the Snake had ripped out the floor, used the lumber for his cook fire that was in the center of the room, and cut a smoke hole in the roof. As the agent advised McKenney, the Snake now had a log tepee.
Whiskey was a problem among the Winnegago, and the Snake was the best customer at the Prairie du Chien’s trading post. One winter’s night he drank himself into insensibility and died of pleurisy. His drinking companions soon made his grave a favorite meeting spot. An indignant Colonel McKenney wrote: “[They] gather around it and pour whiskey on the ground, for the benefit of the departed spirit, which is supposed to return and mingle in their orgies.”
Even the most superstitious Winnebago never reportede seeing the Snak’s spirit returning for a drink, but after his death his wife became a fierce foe of all whiskey traders. She learned English from Doctor Lowry, cultivated her farm, and raised the Snak’s sons, threatening to shoot anyone she found with a cup of whiskey.
McKenney recalled: “Winnebago like, he was always ready to fight, except when the Sioux look upon them in a war attitude. He wears a snake sken around his head indicating his name.”
