The History of Thurnham Hall, Lancashire, England At which the Dalton Family lived for almost 400 years Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from the following sources: Victoria County History - A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 8. Special thanks to the Thurnham Hall Owners Club website for providing the great photos of their property. The Domesday book have this entry about Thurnham; Tiernun, Dom. Bk.; Thurnum, 1212; Thirnum, 1282. Thurnham, from its position on the south side of the Lune estuary and cut off from Ashton by the Conder on the north-east, belongs rather to Cockerham than to Lancaster; yet the larger part of its area of 2,096½ acres lies within the latter parish— viz. 1,315½ acres. This part also includes Glasson, at the mouth of the Lune, which forms a port for Lancaster, having since 1787 had a dock; it has the terminus of the single-line railway from Lancaster, opened in 1887, and also that of a canal branching at Galgate from the Preston and Lancaster Canal, formed in 1826. The hamlet of Higher Thurnham is in Lancaster parish, but Lower Thurnham, with the hall, is in Cockerham. Cockersand Abbey, extra-parochial, is sometimes considered a hamlet of Thurnham. The population numbered 540 in 1901. An arial view of Thurnham Hall The principal road is that from Lancaster to Cockerham going south through the eastern side of the township. To the west of this road the land is flat and lies very low, but to the east, between the road and the canal and Conder, is a tract of higher land, 100 ft. above sea level being attained, in which are the hamlets just named and the hall with its well-wooded grounds. Other roads connect Glasson with Conder Green and with Thurnham, and from Upper Thurnham a minor road leads west to Cockersand Abbey. The railway and the canal, which is little used, have been mentioned. There is a ferry across the Lune from Glasson to Overton. The township has a parish council. Thurnham Hall Wheat, oats, potatoes and clover are grown. The soil is loam with clay subsoil, but on the north clayey with marl subsoil. There is a graving dock at Glasson and ships are repaired there. The first vessel built at it was launched in 1838. There is also a custom-house. Manor Before the Conquest THURNHAM, which was assessed as two plough-lands, was a member of the Halton fee, being held in 1066 by Earl Tostig. Afterwards it is found to belong to the lordship of the Lancaster family, and was held of them by the Flemings of Aldingham in Furness. Their tenure was sometimes described as knight's service and sometimes as socage. A rent of either 20s. or 13s. 4d. was payable to the heirs of Lancaster; afterwards it was 6s. 8d. only perhaps by composition with some of the heirs. It thus descended to the Harringtons of Aldingham, and through Bonvill to Grey, being held by Henry Grey Duke of Suffolk, executed for treason in 1554. The duke had in 1552 sold it to Thomas Lowne, citizen of London, who transferred it at an advanced price to Robert Dalton of Bispham in 1556. John de Harrington in 1315 obtained leave to enclose a park at Thurnham from Thomas Earl of Lancaster, and a charter of free warren was granted by the king in 1318. The earlier history of the Dalton family has already been told. Robert Dalton, by his marriage with Anne daughter of John Kitchen of Pilling, obtained the site of Cockersand Abbey, adjoining Thurnham, and in 1558 added Aldcliffe and Bulk by purchase from the Crown. A pedigree was recorded in 1567. Robert Dalton died in 1578 without issue, and left his estates to his namesake, son of his brother Thomas, an infant two months old. The younger Robert, a recusant in religion, grew up and held possession till his death in 1626, when he was succeeded by his son Thomas, born in 1609. Like the Roman Catholic gentry in general, he proved himself an ardent Royalist at the outbreak of the Civil War, raised a troop of horse, and was fatally wounded at the second battle of Newbury, 27 October 1644; he died at Marlborough a week later. His estates were of course seized by the Parliament for his recusancy and delinquency; but Robert his son and heir being only five years of age, there was probably some delay, and no record of the proceedings has been preserved. Robert Dalton, who recorded a pedigree in 1664, left two daughters to inherit at his death in 1700. Elizabeth, the elder, married William Hoghton of Park Hall in Charnock, and had Thurnham, Bulk and other estates; Dorothy, the younger, married Edward Riddell of Swinburne Castle, Northumberland, and received Caton and a moiety of Aldcliffe. John the son of William and Elizabeth Hoghton assumed the surname of Dalton in 1710, and succeeded his father in 1712. He was a strong Roman Catholic and Jacobite, and on the invasion in 1715 joined the Pretender's forces at Lancaster and marched with them to Preston, where he was taken prisoner. His life was spared, and his estates, in which he had only a life interest, were redeemed by him for £6,000. He died in 1736 and his son Robert in 1785. John Dalton, son of Robert by his first wife, had several children, but the heirs at his death in 1837 were two daughters, Lucy wife of Joseph Bushell, who died without issue in 1843, and Elizabeth, who died at Thurnham in 1861 unmarried. Under a settlement made by John Dalton with the object of barring out of the estate his half-brother William Hoghton Dalton, who was a Protestant, and his descendants, the manor then went to a cousin, Sir James George Fitzgerald, who on succeeding took the additional surname of Dalton. He died in 1867, and was followed by his brother Gerald Richard, who likewise prefixed Dalton to his surname. At his death in 1894 Thurnham went to William Henry Dalton, son of the above-named William Hoghton Dalton of Park Hall, half-brother of John Dalton. Mr. W. H. Dalton, who had a good deal of litigation on succeeding, died in 1902, and was followed by his son Mr. John Henry Dalton, aged twenty-eight. Thurnham Hall stands on slightly rising ground about a quarter of a mile from the left bank of the River Conder in the eastern part of the township, and is a three-story stone-built house, erected probably by Robert Dalton soon after his purchase of the property. The front of the building faces west, and is said to have had originally three gables with an embattled porch and mullioned windows, and in front a 'spacious courtyard protected by six square embattled towers, three on each side, connected by lofty curtain walls.' In 1823, however, the old front was pulled down and the present pseudo-Gothic facade erected, with corner turrets and embattled parapet. Of the courtyard and inclosing walls, if ever they existed, there are now no remains. The front, which is faced with ashlar, is about 100 ft. in length, with square and four-centred headed windows, the middle part slightly projecting, with a porch, or vestibule to the hall, 34 ft. in length, on the ground floor, projecting 9 ft. from the main building. The house has been for long unoccupied, and is now in a state of dilapidation. It had apparently undergone some process of restoration or rebuilding before the addition of the new front, some of the work in the older part at the back being apparently of 18th-century date, very few of the original mullioned windows remaining. There have been additions at the north-east end, the first an extension or rebuilding northwards of the original east wing, and later, but apparently in the 17th century, a long two-story brick wing at right angles, now used as a residence for the caretaker. The brick wing has, however, been restored in recent times and new windows inserted. A domestic chapel in the Gothic style was added at the south end of the house by Miss Dalton in 1854–5. The hall, which is 39 ft. by 24 ft., is probably a reconstruction of the original 16th-century apartment and is 12 ft. high, with plastered ceiling and flagged floor. The walls are panelled to a height of 8 ft. 3 in. with grained deal wainscot, but the hop pattern plaster frieze above appears to be of 17thcentury date. The arms of Dalton and Gage, which appear on the porch outside and again in the vestibule, have been introduced on to the frieze in 1823, and the fireplace, over which are two shields with the arms of (1) Dalton quartering Fleming and (2) Dalton and Fleming impaling Middleton, is modern. The ceiling is supported by two modern classic columns, and the west side of the room, the wall of which is 4 ft. thick, is open by two arches to the vestibule, which measures internally 31 ft. 3 in. by 6 ft. 9 in. The rooms north and south of the hall are now dilapidated, but preserve the classic decoration of the early 19th-century rebuilding, in contrast with its pseudo-Gothic exterior. Most of the rooms on the first floor are also neglected, the floors in many cases being broken. The drawing-room is immediately over the hall and of the same dimensions. Two hiding-places have been discovered in the upper floor in recent times, one entered through a square opening about 4 ft. from the floor covered with a large stone moving on a pivot. The chapel is 34 ft. 3 in. by 14 ft. 9 in., and has a turret containing a bell on the south side. The sanctuary is at the west end, and there is an eastern gallery approached both by stairs from below and from the first floor of the house. On the north side, at the level of the first floor and approached from it, is a recessed pew containing a fireplace. The chapel, like the rest of the building, is now in a state of dilapidation. A carved chest formerly kept in the chapel is now at the priest's house at Thurnham. Inserted within one of the built-up windows at the north end of the house, near the front, is the stone inscribed 'Catholicae virgines,' &c., brought here from Aldcliffe Hall. The family portraits are now at Bygods Hall, Essex. Source: Victoria County History - A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 8. A Brief history of the Dalton Family The Dalton Family were lords of the manor of Thurnham for many centuries. They acquired Cockersands Abbey in 1556 partly by purchase and partly by the marriage of Robert Dalton, Lord of Dalton and Bispham, to Anne, eldest daughter of John Kytchen of Pilling Hall, to whom the Abbey was granted after the dissolution of the monasteries. The earlier owners had adopted the name of the property as their own and were known as the de Thurnham. In the 12th century William de Thurnham granted land to the hospital of Cockersands Abbey and thereafter there was always a connection between the Hall and the Abbey. After the Dissolution both came under the same ownership. The estate passed from the de Thurnham, by descent, through the families of Flemmings, Cancerfield, Harrington, Bonvile and Grey. Thomas Grey the marquis of Dorset , who had fought at the Battle of Tewkesbury, later took up arms against Richard III having sided with the earl of Richmond . Thomas Grey was imprisoned on suspicion of high treason. His estates were forfeited to the crown. However he was later released and had his properties returned to him. Dorset 's son, the 3 rd Marquise, is better know to history as Henry, Duke of Suffolk, the father of Lady Jane Grey. With Suffolk , the Grey family connection with Thurnham ended. In 1553 Suffolk sold the estate to a London grocer, Thomas Lonne. Lonne sold the estate, three years later, to Robert Dalton of Bispham in Lancashire . Robert was the grandson of William Dalton of Bispham and his wife Jane who was the daughter of Sir John Townley, one of the oldest families in the country. Robert married Ann Kitchen and through her the Daltons acquired the sequestered lands of Cockersands Abbey. Robert Dalton had a son, Thomas, who fought on the side of the king in the Civil War, he also had ten, (some say seven), daughters. All of the daughters were renowned for their piety and for their adherence to the Roman Catholic Faith. (The Daltons being well known recusants in the country). These ladies lived in Aldcliffe hall and were known as the “Catholic Virgins”. Their brother, Thomas, suffered from his part in the Civil War. Having raised a troop of horses for his king, he was wounded at the second Battle of Newbury and died within a week at Marlborough . His properties, and those of his sisters, were seized by the Cromwellians, but they were afterwards restored to the family. In 1572, Robert having no children, the estate was settled on his younger brother Thomas. From the onwards the family remained prominent among the hierarchy of the gentry by marriages with well-to-do families. Several sons were educated at Douai (or Douay) College in France. This was the college where many Catholic sons were educated during Penal Times. Some became priests and returned to this country where they suffered martyrdom. The Daltons continued at Thurnham until Robert Dalton, grandson of the original purchaser of the estate, died leaving an heiress Elizabeth Dalton. Elizabeth Dalton married into another ancient and staunchly Roman Catholic Lancashire family, the de Hoghtons. Her husband was William de Hoghton, one of the de Hoghton's of Hoghton Tower. The son of this union, John de Hoghton, took the name of Dalton . Like his forbears he incurred trouble by loyalty to the old faith and the old royal family, for in 1715 he joined the first Jacobite uprising when the Scots arrived in Lancaster . For this he was imprisoned in London and his lands confiscated. After his release he walked back to Lancaster and recovered Thurnham after paying a huge fine. John Dalton, who died in the year of Queen Victoria 's accession, married Mary Gage. She was the daughter of Sir Thomas Rockwood Gage, 5th Baronet by his wife, Lucy Knight. The Gage Baronetcy eventually became extinct, but the main line of the family, who became viscounts, are still extant and live at Firle Place in Sussex . Thurnham hall, when inherited by John Dalton, was regarded as a little old fashioned so he replaced the mullioned windows and massive bays with gothic windows. When he completed it, John Dalton put his coat of arms, and those of his wife (Gage), over the door. John Dalton's only son, also called john, died without issue and Thurnham passed, on the death of John senior in 1837, to his daughter Elizabeth who lived in the hall until her death. Elizabeth Dalton was one of several sisters, all of whom predeceased her without children. She was a remarkable woman of stern will and great piety – a throwback to those 17th century Dalton Ladies, the “Catholic Virgins”. Not only did she build the private chapel in the hall, she also paid for much of the present Thurnham Roman Catholic Church in 1848. Until then there had only been a small chapel. In 1837 her father, John Dalton, had left £100 in his will towards a fund for building a new church commensurate with the religious revival of the 19th century, sparked off by the Oxford movement. Funds were not readily forthcoming and ten years later there was only £1,000 available, so Miss Dalton came to the rescue and offered to pay the balance. The building was completed in August 1848 at a cost of £5,000. The new edifice was aptly dedicated to St. Thomas More and St. Elizabeth of Hungary , the Princess who spent her Life in penance and self-denial. Both dedications were apt since St Elizabeth was the namesake of the benefactor of Thurnham Church and St. Thomas More was one of the forbearers of her successors at Thurnham. On her death in 1861, at the age of 81, she was succeeded by a distant cousin Sir James Fitzgerald. We must now look back to Robert Dalton whose son married Mary Gage and was responsible for the present west facade. Robert married thrice. His third wife being Bridget, daughter of Thomas More of Barnborough hall near Doncaster . Bridget was the heiress and last lineral descendant of St. Thomas More, thus re-enforcing the strong Catholic traditions of Thurnham. Her daughter, also Bridget, married Sir James Fitzgerald, the 7th Baronet, of Castle Ishen, Co. Cork, Ireland. It was their grandson, the 9 h Baronet, who inherited Thurnham Hall. On doing so he assumed the additional name of Dalton , becoming Sir James Dalton-Fitzgerald and he died in 1867 without issue. His brother, Sir Gerald Dalton-Fitzgerald, succeeded to the title and property but he also died childless so the Baronetcy became extinct. After Elizabeth Dalton's death there was a sale at Thurnham of most of the contents and from thence forward it remained empty, the Fitzgerald's remaining mostly in their Essex estates. The Daltons portraits and heirlooms which were not sold in 1861 were transferred to Essex . With the passing of the Fitzgerald's, Thurnham came back into the male line of the Dalton's in the person of William Henry Dalton, a second cousin of the last Fitzgerald Baronet, who was descendant from Robert Dalton (died 1785) and his third wife Bridget More. William married an American wife and they had two sons and six daughters. The eldest son, John Henry, succeeded to the estate and was followed by his brother, William Augustus Dalton. The Chapter house of which had for many years served as a burial place for the Daltons . Many of the finds were kept at the Hall and the findings were fully published by the ancient monuments society. With the death of William Augustus Dalton the Daltons died out of the main line of descent. Thurnham hall slowly deteriorated through the years of lying empty and disused. After the last war, (1939-1945), it looked as if the dilapidated building would suffer the same fate that had befallen so many of the fine old houses in this century. Mr. & Mrs. Stanley Crabtree purchased Thurnham Hall in the early 1970's and then, assisted by their son David, completely renovated the building and brought the hall back to it's imposing former glory and splendor. The Dalton Family also became involved with political issues. Source: This history is taken from an old booklet about the hall that was published in 1979 by English Life Publications Ltd. Miss Elizabeth Dalton, who inherited Thurnham in 1837, was Lady of the Manor for 24 years until her death in 1861. In 1845 she built the present private Roman Catholic Chapel, a fine example of domestic ecclesiastical architecture of its time. Miss Dalton herself occupied her own private gallery complete with fireplace. A screen, which is still place, was erected to protect her from the gaze of the tenant farmers who occupied the east gallery. The domestics and others would worship in the main body of the chapel. The Great Hall On entering the Great Hall, shown above, your eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent Tudor fireplace, the Elizabethan plaster work of the ceiling and frieze and the lovely oak panelling, this latter having been installed by the present owner due to the original panelling having been removed. Most of the present panelling is of the same age and design as the original, having been brought from Park Hall, a former home of the Daltons. The armorial windows are the work of a Miss Dalton and were executed in the 1930s. They depict the arms of the Daltons and the arms of St. Thomas More, the Daltons of Thurnham being directly descended from St. Thomas More. The Staircase The fine Jacobean staircase had to be removed, as the elements had penetrated into the house and caused considerable damage. The photo on the right shows the staircase well, before restoration. It was completely removed and restored, and has now been replaced in its original position, as shown in the top two photos. The top left photo is the same view as the photo on the right!! Also included in the restoration is some very fine Jacobean plaster work. At the head of the stairs are two pairs of carved doors which came from an old sailing ship and were made originally to fit the curve of the deck. The angle of the centre pan which are not parallel with the floor, indicate the lie of the deck. The Gallery To the right of the gallery there is another fine Jacobean staircase leading to the floor above. On the left is a very fine oak-studded wall, this studding was covered with a very thick layer of plaster and because of this it escaped the worst of the fire that raged through this part of the house in 1959. Old Kitchen The photo above is the old kitchen in the Pele Tower, now the rear restaurant. The fine old kitchen range, once a feature of most kitchens and now a rarity, was made in Morecambe in the 1890s and is still in regular use. The Bedroom has had to have extensive restoration and in consequence the visitor now sees the original beautiful Tudor bedroom which was preserved beneath the Victorian plaster work. The lovely Tudor fireplace is one of seven similar ones found in the house and was discovered under the more compact Victorian one. The arms are of Dalton impaling Gage. The window of this room is the only discordant note, having been altered in 1823 for the accommodation of the new stone frontage. The original window would have been larger, of the mullioned and transomed bay design. This bedroom is said to be haunted by a lady in green. She is said to appear when tragedy is about to fall on Thurnham. The Priest Hide is situated at the back of the Tudor fireplace in the bedroom. It is remarkably well preserved. As the Daltons remained faithful to the Catholic faith and held secret services at the Hall, the hide will have been put to good use. The Pele Tower in the oldest part of the Hall, everything previously looked at was built at various times on to this tower. This defensive building is fairly complete, with the exception of the south wall where the large window is situated. Originally there would be a large fireplace here, allowing no light from the south. This was pulled down and the fireplace arch rebuilt above, to form the window arch. The huge dresser shown above was built in situ by the estate carpenter in 1926. To the right of the cooking range is a 17th century hot plate. THE RESTORATION OF THURNHAM HALL A house which has been neglected for ten years can become so decayed as to make its restoration an almost impossibly costly task. How much more difficult when the house has been decaying for a century! Thus it was with Thurnham when Mr. S. H. Crabtree first saw it and made up his mind to rescue it from imminent danger of collapse or demolition. Thurnham Hall dates back to the 13th century when the original pele tower was built. This tower is incorporated with later work as the building was enlarged through the ages, notably from the 16th to the 19th centuries. With the amount of work done on the house in recent years it can truly be said that Thurnham has the traces of seven centuries of English architecture in its make-up. Mr. Crabtree, a successful businessman and former managing director of a profitable light engineering firm, bought the house and four acres of land in 1973 as an almost incredible act of faith. He was then living at Stubley Old Hall at Littleborough and he and his family were looking for somewhere nearer the sea. When they saw Thurnham it seemed not only ideal but also presented an irresistible challenge to a man who had much experience in working with his hands and had already restored a 70 foot yacht and several Rolls Royce’s, two of which are on show in Blackpool and one took pride of place in Tokyo Antiques Fair. Mr. Crabtree’s wife and son might well have regarded him as crazy and objected to a long period of hard work and possibly heartbreak as well, but the Crabtree's were made of sterner stuff. Mr. Crabtree, his wife, his son David and his son’s fiancée have all got down to it and helped to restore this fine old house. One of the first concerns was the facade erected in 1823 by John Dalton. It was dressed with stone from Lancaster Castle but was in a very dangerous condition. The iron dowels had rusted, expanded and blown off the stone in large chunks as can be seen in the photo on the right.. With the stresses expanding sideways the outer wall bulged forward from the wall behind bringing down mouldings and smashing lintels. A craftsman was found who could do the work, a Mr. Pemberton, but unfortunately he lived at Saddleworth some 70 miles away. For two years Mr. Pemberton travelled 140 miles a day to do this labour of love. The result is a perfect restoration of John Dalton’s façade. A local carpenter was found to install the paneling and to carry out other intricate work. A fire had swept through a section of the house in 1959 and so this part had to be almost completely rebuilt. A century of wind and rain had caused havoc with the interior and it all had to be put right. Looking at photographs of the building in its last stages of decay and seeing it now it seems that a miracle has been performed. Thurnham, once again, is a fine Country house and a family home. Thurnham Hall Sold again: After the Crabtree’s had restored Thurnham Hall they decided to sell it to a time share group named Sunterra Resorts. They them put in a 9 hole golf course and started to partition some of the larger rooms in the main building into rental rooms. In the surrounding buildings they also turned them into rentals. As time went on this group cleared some land around Thurnham and built some nice units. They built a large swimming pool at the back of the property. There are photos to view of these buildings below. One bad move they did was to turn the former Lady’s Chapel into a bar. But luckily this was removed during the remodeling in 2008. It is now returned to its original state. In 2007 Diamond Resorts International took over from Sunterra. An online ad for Thurnham Hall today: Thurnham Hall enjoys a countryside location, 500 metres from the village of Upper Thurnham and 4.5 miles from the city of Lancaster, England. It lies 12 miles from Broughton House stately home and 20 miles from the seaside resort of Blackpool. Hotel Features.

One of them, Sir Richard Dalton, killed a Saracen in the Holy Land and was given the green Griffen on the crest of the coat of arms which the family carried for their services to King Richard. The description of the shield is: a silver Lion Rampant Guardant on an azure shield with gold crosslets. In the Heraldic language it is: a shield azure propre, or crussely, a lion, rampant, guardant, argant and the crest is a dragon's head vert, between two wings.

The Reverend John Neale Dalton - Canon of Windsor Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from various sources on the World Wide Web. Sources are from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Google images search. Other sources are not listed. All copy written material is the property of the owner and is not to be used for commercial use. This article is for private use only. John Neale Dalton was born on 24th September 1839 at Margate in Kent. He was the son of the Reverend John Neale Dalton and Elisa Maria Allies. Michael Dalton of the DGS points to the Chapter Room window with Canon Dalton's Coat of Arms. This stained glass window is in the Chapter Room in St. George Chapel at *Windsor Castle in Windsor, England. Extract from "The Dalton Book" by Frances Edith Leaning (nee Dalton), a first cousin once removed of the Canon, who attended his funeral service in St George's Chapel: On Monday evening, July 27, 1931, Canon Dalton read the second lesson in St George's Chapel; on Tuesday morning the tolling of the Castle bell announced his sudden death. He had appeared in normal health and quite cheerful the previous evening, and the long obituary notice in the Times ends one paragraph with the words "an ideal ending to a wonderful old age". His remains were cremated at Woking on Thursday, and the ashes interred in St George's Chapel on Friday, the 31st, in the presence of a great concourse. The King and Queen were represented, the Mayor of Windsor was there, the Military Knights of the Order, the Master and Members of the Court of the Drapers' Company, and many others. I was fortunate in obtaining a seat in the Choir, and was struck by seeing for the first time funeral wreaths in all the most brilliant colours. They completely covered the stretch of turf outside the Chapel. The service varied from the Prayer Book by being full of music, Psalms 133 and 146, and special and beautiful sentences after the Lesson, concluding with a hymn.

Rev. John Neale Dalton, 91, associated with the British royal family for 60 years; tutor, religious adviser and Domestic Chaplain to King George V; at Windsor Castle, Windsor, England, where he was canon and steward of St. George's Chapel. Dalton married Catherine on 16 January 1886 and their first son Edward Hugh John Neale Dalton was born at home in Glamorgan, August 1887. Hugh Evan-Thomas and prince Edward were his godparents. Their second child, Alexandra Mary, was born 1891, but in accord with Dalton's wish to have had a second son who he could have named after prince George, was nicknamed 'Georgie'. The Rev. lived from 1839-1931, was Canon of Windsor and father of Hugh Dalton, Chancellor of the Exchequer. This line has been charted by the founder and chairman of the DGS and descendent of the Neale Dalton line, Michael Neale Dalton. The Rev. John Neale Dalton was a tutor for sons of King Edward VII. Dalton was appointed curate to Canon George Prothero in the parish of Whippingham on the Isle of Wight in 1869. The church was attended by the royal family when staying at their summer home, Osborne, on the island. Queen Victoria came to know Dalton, and chose him to become tutor to her grandsons, the royal princes George Frederick and his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. The children were then 6 and 7, and Victoria considered her son, the then prince of Wales Albert Edward, had been neglecting their education. Dalton moved to Windsor castle and continued as their tutor through the next fourteen years. We have only limited information on how the children were taught at Sandringham* They were tutored there rather than attending a school. We know that Prince Eddy was tutored with his younger brother Prince George. Their tutor was John Neale Dalton who was subsequently appointed to be Canon Dalton. As a tutor he was not a conspicuous success, but this may have been m ore the boy's fault than his. The differences between the two were all too apparent at an early age. Prince George was a lively boy of average intelligence. His brother was beyond education. We do not know if the girls were tutored separately or if there was one classroom at Sandringham. Both boys were trained as naval cadets which Prince George did well at. After their Midshipman cruise together, Prince Eddy was sent to Cambridge where he demonstrated no interest or ability in his studies. Prince George enthusiastically pursued his naval career. Dalton was appointed curate to Canon George Prothero in the parish of Whippingham on the Isle of Wight in 1869. The church was attended by the royal family when staying at their summer home, Osborne, on the island. Queen Victoria came to know Dalton, and chose him to become tutor to her grandsons, the royal princes George Frederick and his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. The children were then 6 and 7, and Victoria considered her son, the then prince of Wales Albert Edward, had been neglecting their education. Dalton moved to Windsor castle and continued as their tutor through the next fourteen years. The younger prince, George, proved the more able and willing to learn. His brother and presumed eventual heir to the throne, Albert Victor, called "Eddy" by the family, was considered backward, lazy and obtuse. It was considered that although George was expected to follow a career in the navy, it would be unwise to separate him from his brother as he was considered a good influence upon him. Accordingly, both boys joined the cadet training ship HMS Britannica in September 1877. Dalton accompanied the boys, sharing a cabin with them while continuing to act as their guardian, and acted as chaplain to the ship. Despite Dalton's presence, the princes (Eddy nicknamed 'Herring' and George 'Sprat') were bullied by other cadets keen to have a go at accessible royalty. One cadet, Hugh Thomas was approved of by Dalton and began a friendship with the princes which continued for some years. The first born son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and Alexandra of Denmark, Prince Albert Victor, but for an accident of fate, would one day have succeeded his father on the throne of Great Britain. Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert Born 3rd June 1865 - Later to become George V In 1879 training on *Britannia came to end. It was again proposed that Eddy should attend a public school, but Dalton recommended the brothers should remain together. Instead it was arranged that both princes and Dalton should sail on *HMS Bacchante with a crew carefully selected to be a good influence on the boys. The captain, Lord Charles Scott, was a son of the Duke of Buccleuch, while his nephew the future 7th Duke was part of the crew. Other crew were also chosen for their royal connections, as in the case of Hugh Evan-Thomas (surname now officially changed by his father) who was posted to the same watch as the princes. Dalton saw it as his responsibility, despite royal instructions that the princes should be treated 'just like other ordinary midshipmen', to restrict their contact with other members of the crew, shifting away anyone who became too friendly. The tour ended in August 1882, when Dalton and his charges returned with the ship to England. He took with him numerous mementoes of the tour, including the sailor who had been assigned as his servant during the voyage, who continued to work for him ashore for the next 50 years. He also obtained an introduction to Evan-Thomas' sister Catherine, who shortly afterwards agreed to marry him despite being considerably younger. Prince George returned to the navy, but Eddy remained a low achiever and continued a further year intensive tutoring with Dalton in preparation for attending Cambridge university. The training ship Britannia - restored In 1892 Prince George briefly assumed command of HMS Melampus during her commissioning and trials. Dalton was invited onboard as George's guest. *Sandringham is a village and civil parish in the north of the English county of Norfolk. The village is situated some south of the village of Dersingham, north of the town of King's Lynn and north-west of the city of Norwich. The civil parish extends westwards from Sandringham itself to the shore of The Wash some distant, and also includes the villages of West Newton and Wolferton. It has an area of and in 2001 had a population of 402 in 176 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. Sandringham is best known as the location of Sandringham House and its associated estate. This is a favoured holiday home of Queen Elizabeth II and several of her predecessors. Near to Sandringham house is the Royal Stud, a stud farm that houses many of the royal horses. Sandringham - The Norfolk home of the Royal Family. At the end of this voyage J. N. D. was made C.M.L.G. and went into residence at Trinity College, Cambridge, as governor to Prince Albert Victor, while Prince George remained in the Navy. However the close personal friendship between J. N. D. and Prince George continued. This tie, began at Dartmouth and on the Bacchante, was strengthened further when J. N. D. accompanied the Prince of Wales on his voyage on the Ophir. In 1884, J. N. D. was appointed by Queen Victoria to a Canonery at Windsor, a post he retained to the end of his life. Here his antiquarian knowledge and his strong and forceful personality quickly gained him a unique position. He studied the history of St. George's, Windsor, its buildings and its traditions, with intense interest. He loved them wholeheartedly, and his appointment by the Chapter to the office of Steward gave him a post of responsibility in regard to the management of finance and the ca re of the fabric which he filled with a dominating vigour and a degree of independence that at times were not without embarrassment for his colleagues of the Chapter. There were moments, and not infrequent moments, w hen his autocratic methods and impatience of discussion made him difficult as a member of a capsular body. Yet he mellowed very noticeably in t he later years of his life, and even at times when differences on points of administration were acute and indeed, on J. N. D.'s part, explosively violent, they could not obliterate his personal charm or destroy the real affection he inspired even in those who had most cause to mistrust h is policy and his methods of achieving it. His sermons were more often interesting for their vigorous delivery than f or their contents. If the latter were somewhat commonplace, every hearer w as impressed by the wonderful voice, ranging from a high falsetto to a thunderous bass, with which the sermon was spoken. And as a reader he h ad no living equal. He loved his Bible, and to hear J. N. D. read one of t he more dramatic passages in St. George's Chapel was an experience indescribable but never to be forgotten. This power seemed scarcely affected by t he passage of the years. Only two months before he died, when over 91 years of age, he discharged the whole duties of his term of residence, read t he sermon at the daily services, and preached on Sundays. On the Saturday before he died he was present in one of his most genial moods at a meeting of the Chapter. On the Monday he attended evensong and read a lesson. That night, having gone to bed, he was suddenly taken ill and die d, an ideal ending to a wonderful old age. That was on 28th July 1931. For many years J. N. D. had spent his brief summer holiday as the guest of King George V, as he by then was, initially at Balmoral and latterly at Sandringham, and he was keenly looking forward to doing the same in 1931. It is not lifting the veil of personal intimacies too far to say that by the passing of his former tutor, King George V lost a friend who h ad a most special place in his affection. *HMS Bacchante was a Bacchante-class ironclad screw-propelled corvette of the Royal Navy. She is particularly famous for being the ship on which the Princes George and Albert served as midshipmen. Canon Dalton, who acted as their governor on board the Bacchante, says that they were sent to sea chiefly with a view to the mental and moral training that they would receive as midshipmen. No service better inculcates implicit and instant obedience or imbues all subjected to its discipline with a sense of responsibility. Hence the Princes were put through the same routine as everyone else on board. Canon Dalton says: "As long as they were on board ship the Princes were treated exactly like other midshipmen, and performed all the duties which usually fall to their lot. They took their turn in all weathers by day or night at watch-keeping and going aloft, at sail drill or boat duty. There was no difference, not even the slightest of any sort or kind, made between them and their gunroom messmates." The Bacchante was built at Portsmouth Dockyard and launched on 19 October 1876, the second ship of the three ship Bacchante class. She was armed with fourteen 7-inch muzzle-loading rifle guns and two 64-pounder torpedo carriages, and rated at 4070 tons. Class and type: Bacchante-class corvette Name: HMS Bacchante Builder: Portsmouth Dockyard Launched: 19 October 1876 Fate: Sold for scrap in 1897 General characteristics Displacement: 4,070 tons Tons burthen: 2,679 tons Length: 280 ft (85 m) Beam: 45.5 ft (13.9 m) Armament: 14 × 7-inch (177.8 mm) guns 2 × 64 pound guns The two oldest sons of the Prince of Wales had entered the navy in 1877, and by 1879 it had been decided by the Royal Family and the Government that the two should undertake a cruise. They were assigned to HMS Bacchante, which was then part of a squadron intended to patrol the sea lanes of the British Empire. Queen Victoria was concerned that the Bacchante might sink, drowning her grandchildren. Confident in their ship, the Admiralty sent Bacchante through a gale to prove she was sturdy enough to weather storms. The Princes, with their tutor John Neale Dalton, duly came aboard on 17 September 1879. The Bacchante was to be their home for the next three years. They made a number of cruises to different parts of the Empire with the squadron. Serving aboard the squadron's flagship, HMS Inconstant at this time was their relation, Prince Louis of Battenberg. The squadron initially consisted of HMS Inconstant, Bacchante, Diamond and Topaze, the composition altering during the voyages as ships left, or were joined by new ones. For three years from the royal brothers served as midshipmen on HMS Bacchante, accompanied by Dalton. They toured the colonies of the British Empire in the Caribbean, South Africa and Australia, and visited Norfolk, Virginia, as well as South America, the Mediterranean, Egypt, and the Far East. In Japan, George had a local artist tattoo a blue and red dragon on his arm. Dalton wrote an account of their journey entitled The Cruise of HMS Bacchante. Between Melbourne and Sydney, Dalton records a sighting of the Flying Dutchman, a mythical ghost ship. When they returned to Britain, the brothers were separated; Albert Victor attended Trinity College, Cambridge, while George continued in the Royal Navy. He travelled the world, visited many areas of the British Empire, and served actively until his last command in 1891. The Bacchante visited the Mediterranean and the West Indies, followed by later voyages to South America, South Africa, Australia, China and Japan. The Princes made regular diary entries, which were later published as two volumes in 1886 as The Cruise of Her Majesty's Ship Bacchante. Bacchante briefly assisted in the First Boer War, before the squadron sailed again for Australia. Shortly after reaching the coast on 12 May, a heavy storm blew up and when it had abated, the Bacchante was missing. After three days searching, news reached the squadron that Bacchante had had her rudder disabled, but had been able to reach safety at Albany. Excerpts from the book King Kaiser Tsar-Three Royal cousins who let the World to War; by Catrine Clay. “The boys education was another case where Berti held his own counsel. Although he had promised to address this vexed subject, he and Alexandra failed to do anything about it until Eddy was eight and Georgie was six. Only then did they come to an agreement with Queen Victoria, appointing the Reverend John Neale Dalton as the boys tutor. Dalton had been spotted by Queen Victoria at Whippingham parish church near Osbourne, where he was a curate. He was a bachelor of thirty-two, with a First Class Honours degree in Theology from Cambridge, and although not in the same league as Willy’s tutor Dr. Hinzpeter when it same to pedantic instruction, he nevertheless believed in the Victorian virtues of self-discipline and hard work. He was the boys tutor for fourteen years, spending a good ten hours a day in their company. But unlike Hinzpeter, he not only attempted to teach his two charges, he also played with them. When George V looked back on those years he remembers games of bow-and-arrows with Dalton running around in the bushes pretending to be a deer. In the afternoons they went riding, in winter skating, and in the summer they played cricket or lawn tennis. Dalton was a kind man, and fair, but strict enough to keep the two “ill-bred, ill-trained children,” as Queen Victoria described them, at their work. When Dalton was away on holidays, he wrote to the boys regularly, and the letters always included some amusement along with comments about their spelling or their grammar. In later years Georgie kept in touch with him, writing to him often, and always expressing a real affection for his former tutor. Having been chosen by the Queen, Dalton sent her regular progress reports. “The two little Princes ride on ponies for an hour each alternate morning in the week, and take a walk on the other three days in the afternoon. Also their Royal Highnesses take exercise on foot” he reported dutifully from Sandringham in 1874. “As regards the studies, the writing, reading and arithmetic are all progressing favorably; the music, spelling, English history, Latin, geography, and French all occupy a due share of their Royal Highnesses attention.” This might have been putting a gloss on things; neither of the princes was very bright. Prince Eddy was the worse, with a great problem of concentration and odd lethargy which combined to make him distinctly backward. Georgie in comparison was happily average, “always merry and rosy” as his grandmother put it. It was generally agreed that the only thing which helped Eddy was working alongside Georgie - though Georgie himself could be difficult at times, as Dalton noted in his Journal of Weekly Work in September 1876: Prince G. this week has been much troubled by silly fretfulness of temper and general spirit of contradiction. Otherwise work with me has been up to the usual average.” The boys were not Dalton’s only problem: he had trouble stopping the Prince and Princess of Wales from interrupting lessons. Being entirely un-academic themselves, they found it hard to take the business of education seriously. Georgie’s early years were spent mostly at Sandringham, and always with Eddy. The boys joined the rest of the family for short periods at Marlbogh House, and at Osborne Cottage on the Isle of Wight during the summer, where they sailed, swam and caught crabs, all of which they related with delight in letters to Dalton. By 1875 Georgie and Eddy, now ten, and almost twelve, were still spending most of their time at Sandringham receiving what turned out to be a rather basic education from the Reverend Mr. Dalton. In 1877, Georgie turned twelve and Eddy fourteen. The time had come for the next stage in their education. Georgie was always bound for a career in the Royal Navy. Queen though Wellington College a good idea for Eddy, but Dalton, who was always firm in his views on the boy’s education, stepped forward, arguing that, given Eddy’s problems and the boy’s affection for one another, they should not be separated. Queen Victoria was not convinced. “They position (if they lived) will be totally different and it is not intended that they should both enter the Navy,” she wrote. “The very rough sort of life to which the boys are exposed on board ship is the very thing not calculated to make a refined and amiable Prince, who in after years (if God spares him) is to ascend the throne.” It was all right for Georgie, the second son, but not for Eddy, the future heir. The Prince of Wales agreed with Dalton and applied his well-practiced tactic in dealing with his mother, suggesting they might try it ‘as an experiment’ and see how they got on. On this basis Queen Victoria was prepared to agree, and in September 1877 both boys joined the training ship Britannia, Georgie as a bona fide cadet, Eddy as an also-ran. The Britannia, anchored on the river Dart in Devon, was an old ship with few comforts. The two princes arrived on board accompanied by their tutor, Dalton. “It is impossible that two lads could be in more robust health or happier than the two princes are,” Dalton wrote to Queen Victoria, showing that however clear-sighted he might be at home, on board ship he was blind as a bat. He added, somewhat wryly, and presumably in response to some query from the Queen: ”Their studies also progress favorurably. The brothers were parted in 1883; George continued in the navy and Albert Victor attended Trinity College, Cambridge. James Kenneth Stephen was appointed as a tutor and lived partly at Sandringham during his tutorship, along with Dalton who was still in attendance both at Sandringham and at Trinity. Some notes about Canon Dalton: The Duke of Windsor writes in Life Magazine about his childhood tutoring by Canon Dalton- Dec 8, 1947: At Frogmore the formidable Canon Dalton of St. George’s Chapel, who had been my father’s tutor in the Navy, would stride down the hill to lecture us on the scriptures, in a voice that boomed like Big Ben. It is a fascinating commentary upon flexibility of British society that this man who played so influential a part in molding the character of a royal prince should have produced under the shadows of Windsor Castle a son, Hugh Dalton, who was until recently the Chancellor of the Exchequer of a Socialist government. A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Teresa de Jesus, at Alba de Tormes and Avila, &c. By the Rev. Canon Dalton. London : Catholic Publishing Society, 1873. Canon Dalton has already done much towards increasing, in England, a devotion to St. Teresa. He has now added a considerable item towards it in his graphic account of his visits to those parts of Spain which are more especially sacred to her clients. He passed through Medina del Campo, where he visited the second convent founded by St. Teresa, and revered some of her relics; he beheld also, in passing, the ruins of the Jesuit College of which her director, Father Baltazar Alvarez, was for many years rector. It was at Medina del Campo that the saint first met St. John of the Cross. At Salamanca, Canon Dalton visited a convent of the saint's foundation, though it was not the house of which she first took possession. This he likewise inspected. At Alba de Tormes, in addition to a sight of the holy relics of the saint, Canon Dalton had the privilege of entering the enclosure of her monastery there. He gives us a touching account of his admission to the oratory leading to the shrine wherein reposes the body of St. Teresa. It is magnificently adorned, but we can believe that an ardent devotion would overpower other sentiments. On leaving this holy spot, he was conducted to one scarcely less interesting, the cell in which she died, in the arms of Anne of St Bartholomew. This cell seems only seven feet in length and five in breadth, but it has no longer the appearance of a nun's lowly chamber, being transformed into a beautiful little oratory. In the same modest volume, Canon Dalton gives details of his stay at Avila, a place quite redolent of the memories of St. Teresa. Here was the mansion inhabited by her parents; the room in which she was born being now a beautiful oratory, and enriched, of course, with several of her relics. Next may be seen the Monastery of the Incarnation, where many points of interest await the devout pilgrim. Though we have not space to give his narrative, few could read it without a longing to trace the same path. Then a visit to the Convent of St. Joseph was the crowning favour of this pious tour. Canon Dalton describes other objects of note, but they are remarkable in a very different sense, and we cannot now dwell upon them.. But we are persuaded that no one will read his Pilgrimage without an increase of love and devotion to the saint whose life is thus so vividly recalled to mind. Canon Dalton is described by contemporary writers as most amiable, zealous, and charitable, and a favorite with all creeds and classes. Among his numerous works translated from the Spanish are the following: "Life of St. Teresa" (London, 1851); "The Interior Castle, or the Mansions" (London, 1852-53); "The Way of Perfection" (London, 1852); "The Letters of St. Teresa" (London, 1853); "The Book of the Foundations" (London, 1853), etc. He also published translations from Latin and German, including "The Life of Cardinal Ximenes" from the German Bishop Von Hefele (London, 1860). This book was wrote by Canon Dalton: Church of England, The Book of Common Prayer: An edition containing proposals and suggestions compiled by John Neale Dalton, Canon of Windsor (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1920). The "Order for the Burial of the Dead" in the Book of Common Prayer we can see an early theological view of the "cycle of life." Drawing on St. John, the Order begins: "I am the resurrection and the life saith the Lord: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die." (St. John II 25, 26.) When the burial procession comes to the grave and the body is prepared to be laid into the earth, the Priest shall say "Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery ... In the midst of life we are in death." While the earth shall be cast upon the body, the Priest shall say "Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his wise providence to take unto himself the soul of our dear departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life." *Windsor Castle and St. George Chapel Windsor is about 900 years old, with construction beginning in 1070 with William the Conqueror. Over time the Castle has evolved, and even today is still a principle home of the English Royal Family. Windsor is surrounded by parks, and was a favorite home of Henry VIII. he often spent time there, especially when hunting. St. George's Chapel was begun by Edward IV in 1475. Henry VIII buried his third wife, Jane Seymour, here and was himself buried here upon his death. Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation. The castle's floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet. Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Her other two residences, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, are the Royal Family's private homes. Most of the Kings and Queens of England, later Kings and Queens of Great Britain, and later still kings and queens of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and sometimes their prison. Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the serfs who have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castle has been expanded by the additions of large and grand apartments; when the country has been at war, the castle has been more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day. Review by John Neale Dalton - Canon of Windsor REVIEW The Collegiate Church of Ottery St. Mary; by John Neale Dalton, Canon of Windsor. All persons acquainted with the beautiful church of Ottery St. Mary, near Sidmouth, in Devonshire, will understand readily why so learned a student of Church history as Canon J. N. Dalton should have devoted twenty years of study and research to the history of this church. Ottery was dissolved in 1545n by King Henry VIII and a large part of its endowments transferred to the College of St. George at Windsor, it is Bishop Grandisson whose sprit still pervades this great church, in which the Bishop’s effigy looks down from the central boss in the vaulting of the nave. Canon Dalton points out many asociations in their early history between the collegiate foundations at Ottery and at Windsor. Bishop Grandisson’s sister, Katherine, wife of William de Montacute, first Earl of Salisbury, was the lady whose name is usually connected with the story of the founding of the Order of the Garter by King Edward III; it is interesting to note that Canon Dalton, who has special opportunities for knowledge of the early history of this Order, evidently inclines to support of this tradition, although modern historians are disposed to attribute the honour of this anecdote to Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent, the betrothed wife of Katherine Grandisso’s son, the second Earl of Salisbury. Apart from the its architectural interest the church of St. Mary at Ottery has suffered so many vicissitudes that its interest to historians and students of art has become somewhat fragmentary. Canon Dalton has evidently been conscious of his own preference for study of documents than for architecture and other branches of the Fine Arts. He is content to give He is content to give a lucid history of the church, relying on the admirable illustrations which accompany his text. It is notorious that this famish church was erected by Bishop Grandisson on the model of his Episcopal church at Exeter, or rather superimposed on the foundation of the church built by Bishop Bronescombe in 1259, some portions of which were absorbed into Bishop’s Grandisson’s new church, which was transformed from a parish into a collegiate church. Canon Dalton is a safe guide through all the history of this change, and he justly remarks that this church is unsurpassed among other churches of its size for the majestic austerity of its design and the admirable simplicity of its construction. We should like to take our readers on a circuit of interest, such as the two transept towers, a at Exeter; the Lancet windows, without tracery or hood mouldings; the Lady Chapel, as an addition to the original plan; the consecration crosses, the heraldry, and other matters, all fully described by the author. His first great departure from the simplicity of the design was due to the north aisle added by the great lady, Cecily Lady Bonville, wife successively of Thomas Grey, Marquees of Dorset, and Henry Stafford, Earl of Wiltshire. This lady, who died in 1530, was, as Canon Dalton points out, with her direct issue closely related to three reigning kings of England and four queens. She was present at the inauguration in 1476 of the Chapel of St. George at Windsor Castle. And it is not surprising to find that the aisle added by her to the church at Ottery is in the same style as that used for the chapel at Windsor. At the dissolution of the college in 1567 the buildings fell into the destructive hands of the Protector Somerset, but it was reserved for much later generations to destroy or deface much which remained of the pristine beauty of the interior. Canon Dalton deals rather too tenderly with the injuries done to this church by the removal of the rood screen, the further mutilation of the redoes in the name of restoration, and the remodeling of the of the south transept by the late Lord Coleridge in 1850.

The History of Daniel Webster “Kit” Dalton -- Outlaw & Lawman Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from various sources on the World Wide Web. Sources are from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Google images search. Other sources are not listed. All copy written material is the property of the owner and is not to be used for commercial use. This article is for private use only. Captain Kit Dalton Born in Logan County, Kentucky on January 23, 1843. Penned a book called, "Under the Black Flag' in 1914 in which he claimed to have joined up with Quantrill as well as claiming to have been at Independence and Lawrence. Died on April 3, 1920 in Memphis, TN at the age of 77. "He fought for the Confederacy and with Quantrill's Raiders. After the war, he rode with Jesse & Frank James and Cole Younger over 100 years ago. A $50,000 reward was offered for him dead or alive; since they could not capture him, he was later pardoned by several governors with his promise that he would lead an exemplary life, which he did during his last 20 years, in Memphis.'" Into the first thirty years of Kit Dalton's life was crowded much adventure. As a youngster, he ran away from home and joined Nathan Bedford Forest's cavalry during the American Civil War. It was when visiting his home on a furlough that devastation he saw caused him to organize a band of guerillas; they soon began to operate outside of Kentucky. Unable to return home, he linked his fortunes with those of Jesse and Frank James. Five governors had set a price upon the head of Kit Dalton, offering $50,000 for his capture, dead or alive, but he was never captured. He, at one time, was a member of Sam Bass’ gang, who operated in Texas, and he saw Bass killed. Trial for a holdup in Franklin, Kentucky , of which Frank James was charged and proved innocent resulted in an agreement by the Government in which Dalton’s slate was wiped clean and he returned to civil life. Kit Dalton is buried at Elmwood Cemetery, in the section known as Confederate’s Rest. My story; by Kit Dalton (source: http://kit-dalton.blogspot.com/) "Any notoriety that came my way was due to the happenstance that I was favored to live longer than most of the other men who rode with that devil." During that odious war I took leave of service from Gen. Forrest and in retaliation for transgressions by Unionist against my family in Kentucky, I joined Captain William Quantrill in Missouri. After the war we were branded outlaws, so with a price on my head I became a "running gun" and for a time rode with Frank & Jesse James and the likes of other southern gentlemen game to sporting Union owned banks and railroads for a living. By 1878 the way of the outlaw gun had played out. To a man they were being hunted down, shot dead, hung or placed in irons. Wanting no part of that drama I changed my ways and hid out where no one would think to look, and if they did few would question my word over that of a protester. I became Mr. Charles Bell,(one of many aliases used until finally pardoned) a gentleman of respectable habits, a Texas Ranger and a duly authorized punisher of evildoers, a task at which I was most proficient. Contrarily, I never rode with the Dalton Gang. Bob, Grat and Emmett were my second cousins who appeared on the scene long after my outlaws days had come to an end. Their theatrics, like the one at Coffeeville on October 5, 1892, required the luck of a gambler and the experience of a raider- a familiarity that they unfortunately lacked. My last ride for thunder was during the Spanish American War. Malaria caught from a lowly mosquito in Cuba did what no Colt was able to render, it put me down hard and I was sent home. In later years I semi retired in Memphis, - home to a number of old scouts - and possibly seeking redemption took up preaching the word to congregations thereabouts. A gathering of long riders in 1910 and final meeting with Frank James was my last hurrah. During The Great War I longed to be with the men in the campaign over there but by then my race had been long run, and oh ! - what a ride it had been. Reflecting back over the years I don’t think I was particularly a bad person, not as good as some but not near as bad as others. Some of those boys were just downright mean spirited and their actions both in and out of service showed that deficiency. Today I’m resting in total tranquility with a number of Old Scouts in the Confederate Lot at Elmwood Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. Like most combatants who went from boyhood to manhood during that direful war I was a product of my time and environment. Any notoriety that came my way was due to the happenstance that I was favored to live longer than most of the other men who rode with that Devil. Caption Kit Dalton wrote a book about his life: DALTON, Kit. Under the Black Flag by Captain Kit Dalton, a Confederate Soldier: A Guerilla Captain under the Fearless Leader Quantrill and a Border Outlaw for Seventeen Years Following the Surrender of the Confederacy. Associated with the Most Noted Band of Free Booters the World Has Ever Known. The focus is primarily Quantrill, the Civil War, and outlawry, but the author includes a chapter on his stint as a cowpuncher right after the Civil War. Dalton was on the run and decided that being a cowpuncher was a good way to hide his true identity. Dalton was hired for $45 to accompany a drive of four thousand head of cattle from Little Rock to Fort Scott, Kansas (“I passed off as a western cattleman, and as I could talk pretty intelligently about this section of the country and they had no occasion to doubt my statements”). After the stress of the Civil War and outlaw life, Dalton comments on the trail drive as if it was a Zen experience: “In the long, long march across the plains I had heard nothing more thrilling than the crack of whips and the bleating of cattle. Not a gun had been fired for any reason whatsoever. How soothing the sensation, how peaceful appeared the broad extended prairie! It was like paradise to me, and I wished it could endure always.” Dalton includes a warm chapter on Belle Starr, noted female outlaw and alleged rustler (complete with a portrait of Belle wearing a jaunty feather head-dress and looking more like a gorgeous Cherokee maiden than her usual hatchet-faced incarnation): “As a cattle rustler, she has never had an equal among the stronger sex, and as a horse thief, she has no superiors. To sum up her character in one trite paragraph, I will simply state that Belle was a maroon Diana in the chase, a Venus in beauty, a Minerva in wisdom, a thief, a robber, a murderer, and a generous friend. A more fearless human being never went forth to deeds of bloody mischief nor washed bloodier hands to dance nimbly over the ivory keys of a piano.” Of note is this above book is completely fictitious. Another story with Kit Dalton: During their outlaw careers, the James brothers and the Younger brothers dealt in fine-blooded stock, raced thoroughbreds and rode beautiful American Saddle breds. All were expert horsemen, always paying careful attention to their animals, which were essential tools of their ‘business.’ Also essential to the West’s most famous outlaw brothers’ success was the support of a circle of trusted friends. Included in those supporters were such prominent and influential families as the Hudspeths, who raised stock and bred horses on their vast landholdings in Jackson County, Missouri. Among the most outspoken was Virginia-born newspaper editor John Newman Edwards, who had been Confederate General Joseph O. Shelby’s adjutant during the Civil War. Edwards’ printed words provided alibis and excuses for the James-Younger Gang, which was seen by him and many other Southerners as a collection of well-liked former guerrillas forced into living outside the law by a repressive Republican Reconstruction federal government. After the Civil War, other ex-guerrillas — who had ridden with the notorious William Quantrill and ‘Bloody Bill’ Anderson — were as well known as the James's and Younger's. Some were recruited as gang members. These men were not only known in Missouri but also in a wide area across the South from Kentucky to Texas. The gang’s base, where the leaders recruited and planned, was the farm of Frank and Jesse’s wealthy uncle, George W. Hite, at Adairville, in Kentucky’s Logan County, 10 miles from Russellville, scene of an 1868 bank robbery. The James boys’ father, Robert, was born in Logan County and graduated from Georgetown College near Midway, Woodford County. Their mother, Zerelada Cole James Samuels, was born at Midway. After meeting and marrying in Kentucky, they had moved to Missouri in the early 1840s. From February 13, 1866, through the September 7, 1876, Northfield raid in Minnesota, the James-Younger Gang reportedly robbed 12 banks, five trains, five stagecoaches and the gate cash box of the ticket booth at the Kansas City Exposition. A network of friends showed sympathy and support for Frank and Jesse even after the famous fiasco at Northfield. Others, though, turned against the boys — not only those people who could no longer see them simply as ‘victims’ of Northern aggression and big business, but also personal acquaintances and even some new gang members. In such a dangerous line of work, the old gang could not last forever. Gang member Oll Shepard was killed in 1868 at Lee’s Summit. Brothers Bill (’Bud’) and Tom McDaniel were captured and killed in 1874 and ‘75, respectively. Tom Webb, alias Jack Keene, was captured in Kentucky with Tom McDaniel. Up in Minnesota, Clell Miller, Bill Chadwell (alias Bill Stiles) and Charlie Pitts (alias Sam Wells) were killed, while brothers Cole, Jim and Bob Younger were wounded, captured and imprisoned for a quarter of a century in the state penitentiary. Thus, in 1879, when Frank and Jesse James resumed their criminal careers in Tennessee and Kentucky, no old gang members were available. The loyal network of friends, however, provided them alibis and gave them sanctuary as Frank and Jesse lived freely using aliases — ‘Ben J. Woodson’ and sportsman ‘Tom Davis Howard.’ The James-Younger Gang always rode in style. Newspaper accounts of the gang’s robberies often reported that the outlaws were mounted on the finest horseflesh in Kentucky. The boys took great pride in their horses, too. According to the Little Rock Daily Gazette, when traveling on a raid, the gang usually rode ‘two abreast about one hundred yards apart. One man would lead a horse, and he being the odd man, would ride at the rear.’ This practice, which allowed one horse to rest while the others were ridden, was mentioned by eyewitnesses after the train robbery near Gads Hill, Mo., on January 31, 1874. All along their routes, the outlaws conducted themselves as gentlemen, paying for everything they received and not drawing attention to themselves. As no photographs of them were yet published, they could take on any identity they wished. While traveling — to such places as Columbia, Ky., in April 1872; Adair, Iowa, in July 1873; Corinth, Miss., and Muncie, Kan., in 1874; and to the new bank at Huntington, W.Va., in September 1875 — they used maps and a compass and, to be on the safe side, avoided well-traveled roads. Daniel Webster ‘Kit’ Dalton, a former guerrilla and gang member and the author of Under the Black Flag, said that he supplied information for the Corinth bank robbery and also rode with the gang when it was operating in Missouri, Kentucky and Texas. The boys did get around and were always prepared for trouble, each member wearing as many as three revolvers and carrying rifles and shotguns in their saddle scabbards. After their crimes, they could always count on family and friends to provide hideouts and support. A short description of Quantrill's Raiders with whom Kit Dalton rode: Quantrill's Raiders were a loosely organized force of pro-Confederate bushwhackers who fought in the American Civil War under the leadership of William Clarke Quantrill. The name "Quantrill's Raiders" seems to have been attached to them long after the war, when the veterans would hold reunions. For over six years, ever since Kansas was opened up as a territory by Stephen A. Douglas' Kansas-Nebraska Bill of 1854, its prairies had been the stage for an almost incessant series of political conventions, raids, massacres, pitched battles, and atrocities, all part of a fierce conflict between the Free State and proslavery forces that had come to Kansas to settle and to battle. In February 1861 Missouri voters elected delegates to a statewide convention which rejected secession by a vote of 89-1. Unionists, led by regular U.S. army commander Nathaniel Lyon and Frank Blair of the politically powerful Blair family, and increasingly pro-secessionist forces, led by governor Claiborne Jackson and future Confederate general Sterling Price, contested for the political and military control of the state. By June there was open warfare between Union forces and troops supporting the Confederacy. Guerilla warfare immediately erupted throughout the state and intensified in August after the Union defeat at the Battle of Wilson's Creek. By August 1862, with the Union victory at the Battle of Pea Ridge, the state was free of significant regular Confederate troops but the violence in Missouri continued. One historical work describes the situation in the state after Wilson's Creek: Unlike other border areas in Maryland and Kentucky, local conflicts, bushwacking, sniping, and guerilla fighting marked this period of Missouri history. "When regular troops were absent, the improvised war often assumed a deadly guerilla nature as local citizens took up arms spontaneously against their neighbors. This was a war of stealth and raid without a front, without formal organization, and with almost no division between the civilian and the warrior." The most notorious of these guerilla forces was led by William Clarke Quantrill. Quantrill was not the only Confederate guerrilla operating in Missouri, but he rapidly won the greatest renown. He and his men ambushed Union patrols and supply convoys, seized the mail, and occasionally struck towns on either side of the Kansas-Missouri border. Reflecting the internecine nature of the guerrilla conflict in Missouri, Quantrill directed much of his effort against Unionist civilians, attempting to drive them from of the territory where he operated. Under his direction, Confederate partisans also perfected military tactics such as coordinated and synchronized attacks, planned dispersal after an attack using pre-planned routes and relays of horses, and other technical methods, including the use of the long-barreled revolvers that later became the preferred firearm of western lawmen and outlaws alike. The James-Younger Gang, many of whose members had ridden with Quantrill, applied these same techniques after the war to the robbery of trains and banks. Quantrill claimed sanction under the Confederate Partisan Ranger Act, which authorized certain guerrilla activities, although he had been refused received a regular Confederate commission as a captain when he visited Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Richmond, Virginia. Thus, like almost all of the Missouri bushwhackers, Quantrill operated outside of the Confederate chain of command. His most notable operation was the Lawrence Massacre, a revenge raid on Lawrence, Kansas in August 1863. For years Lawrence had been the base of operations of Unionist irregular raids by Redlegs and Jayhawkers into Missouri both before and during the war. Also, just a month prior to the raid, some family members--women and children--of Quantrill's men who had been illegally held as hostages by Unionist forces in a dilapidated and overcrowded Kansas City prison, had been killed when that building had collapsed. Quantrill, calling for revenge for years of such atrocities against Missourians at the hands of Redleggers and Jayhawkers, organized a unified partisan raid on Lawrence, Kansas, the center of these Union forces. Hundreds of Missouri riders rallied to the cause. Coordinating across hundreds of miles, individuals and small bands of partisans rode over three hundred miles to rendezvous on Mt. Oread in the early morning hours before the raid. Men had loaded multiple pistols which they stuffed into their shirts, and had tied themselves into their saddles to keep themselves from falling off their horses as they lapsed into sleep from exhaustion. While no women were harmed in the raid, Quantrill's men burned a quarter of the town, and summarily dragged out of their homes and shot, according to Union records, 167 men and teenage boys. One of the main targets of the raid, Abolitionist Senator Jim Lane, escaped by fleeing into the cornfields. The Lawrence raid was the most successful unified effort of Missouri's Southern guerrillas, and the feat marked the high point of their service. Nevertheless, the Confederate leadership appeared to have appalled by the raid, and withdrew even tacit support from the Missourians. Following the raid, in the winter of 1863-64, Quantrill led his men behind Confederate lines into Texas. There, their often lawless presence proved an embarrassment to the Confederate command. Yet many Confederate officers appreciated the effectiveness of these Missouri irregulars against Union forces, which never gained the upper hand over them, especially Quantrill. Among these was the famed and heroic General Joseph O. Shelby, who rode south into Mexico with his troops rather than surrender at the end of the war, and whose command was remembered as "The Undefeated". Their exploits are also immortalized in a later addition to the defiant post-war Confederate ballad, "The Unreconstructed Rebel": "I won't be reconstructed--I'm better now than then. And for that Carpetbagger I do not care a damn. So it's forward to the Frontier soon as I can go. I'll fix me up a weapon and start for Mexico." Among Quantrill's men was a free African American man named John Noland. He was one of Quantrill's scouts, indeed reputed to be his best one. It was Noland who helped in scouting Lawrence, Kansas, before the raid by Quantrill's men in 1863. He joined Quantrill's raiders because of the abuse his family suffered at the hands of Kansas Union Jayhawkers. During that winter, Quantrill lost his hold over his men. In early 1864, the guerrillas that he had led through the streets of Lawrence returned to Missouri from Texas in separate bands, none of them led by Quantrill himself (as Bloody" Bill Anderson seems to have assumed general command by this time). Though Quantrill would gather some of his men again at the very end of 1864, the days of Quantrill's Raiders were over. CAPT. KIT DALTON DEAD. Sole Survivor of Jesse James Band and Quantrell Raiders.

Tolbert, Memphis, TN. In 1921 A movie titled “Jesse James Under The Black Flag” starring, Who else but, Jesse James Jr., was released.Kit Dalton, played by Tony Curtis, reappeared in the 1950 film, Kansas Raiders. This time Jesse James was played by the WWII hero, Audie Murphy. Like King Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere are linked to the mystic middle ages and Camelot, the names of Hickok, Earp, Jesse & Frank James, Younger and Dalton will be forever linked to the glory days of the American west. You are viewing a leaf from an original 1862 Harper's Weekly newspaper. The leaf features a stunning illustration of the famous Quantrill Raiders sacking a western town. The illustration is by Thomas Nast, one of the most famous artists of the 1800's. This stunning illustration captures the confusion and panic in a town hit by one of Quantrill's lightning fast raids. The image captures all the deprivations and atrocities attributed to this group of Guerrilla Fighters. Many of Quantrill's men went on to become notorious western outlaws after the war, including Frank and Jesse James, the James Gang, and the Younger Gang. |

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster In office: 31 May 1948 – 28 February 1950 Chancellor of the Exchequer In office: 27 July 1945 – 13 November 1947 President of the Board of Trade In office: 22 February 1942 – 23 May 1945 Born: 26 August 1887, Neath, Wales, UK Died: 13 February 1962 (aged 74) Cause of death: suicide Nationality: British Political party: Labour Edward Hugh John Neale Dalton, Baron Dalton PC (16 August 1887 – 13 February 1962) was a British Labour politician, who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1945 to 1947, when he was implicated in a political scandal involving budget leaks. Born in Neath, in Wales, his father, John Neale Dalton was chaplain to Queen Victoria and tutor to the future King. Dalton was educated at the independent Summer Fields School in Summertown, a suburb of Oxford, and then at the independent Eton College, in the small town of Eton in Berkshire, where he was head of his house, but was disappointed not to be elected to "Pop". After leaving school he went up to King's College, Cambridge, where his socialist views, then very rare amongst undergraduates, earned him the nickname "Comrade Hugh". Whilst there, he made three unsuccessful attempts to be elected Secretary of the Cambridge Union. He went on to further study at the London School of Economics and the Middle Temple. During the First World War, he was called up into the Army Service Corps, later transferring to the Royal Artillery. He served as a Lieutenant on the French and Italian Fronts, where he was awarded the Italian decoration, the Medaglia di Bronzo al Valor Militare, in recognition of his 'contempt for danger' during the retreat from Caporetto; he later wrote a memoir of the war called With British Guns in Italy. Following demobilization, he returned to the LSE and the University of London as a lecturer, where he was awarded a PhD for a thesis on the principles of public finance in 1920. Dalton stood unsuccessfully for Parliament four times: at the Cambridge by-election, 1922, in Maidstone at the 1922 general election, in Cardiff East at the 1923 general election, and the Holland with Boston by-election, 1924, before entering Parliament for Peckham at the 1924 general election. At the 1929 general election, he succeeded his wife as Labour MP for Bishop Auckland in 1929 and became a junior Foreign Office minister in the second Labour Government. As with most other Labour MPs, he lost his seat in 1931, though he was re-elected in 1935. During the World War II coalition, Winston Churchill appointed him Minister of Economic Warfare from 1940 and he established the Special Operations Executive, and was later a member of the executive committee of the Political Warfare Executive. He became President of the Board of Trade in 1942; the future Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell, drafted into the Civil Service during the war, was his Principal Private Secretary. Although a Labour politician Dalton was a strong supporter of Churchill during the crisis of May, 1940, when Lord Halifax and other Conservative supporters of appeasement in the war cabinet urged a compromise peace. After the Labour victory in the 1945 general election, Dalton had been expected to become Foreign Secretary, but instead the job was given to Ernest Bevin. Dalton became Chancellor of the Exchequer and nationalised the Bank of England in 1946. Alongside Clement Attlee, Ernest Bevin, Herbert Morrison and Stafford Cripps Dalton was initially seen as one of the "Big Five" of the Labour Government. During this time Britain, whose overseas investments had been sold to pay for the war (thus losing Britain their income), was suffering severe balance of payments problems to pay for the effort of maintaining a global military presence. The American loan negotiated by John Maynard Keynes in 1946 was soon exhausted, and by 1947 rationing had to be tightened and the convertibility of the pound suspended. In the atmosphere of crisis Herbert Morrison and Stafford Cripps intrigued to replace Clement Attlee with Ernest Bevin as Prime Minister; Bevin refused to play along and Attlee bought off Cripps by giving him Morrison's responsibilities for economic planning. Ironically, of the "Big Five" it was to be Dalton who ultimately fell victim to the events of that year. Dalton was under great strain. Walking into the House of Commons to give the autumn 1947 Budget speech, he made an off-the-cuff remark to a journalist, telling him of some of the tax changes in the budget, which was printed in the early edition of the evening papers before he had completed his speech, and whilst the stock market was still open. This led to his resignation for leaking a Budget secret; he was succeeded by Stafford Cripps. Though initially implicated in the allegations that led to the Lynskey tribunal in 1948, he was ultimately exonerated. In 1948 he returned to the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, then became Minister of Town and Country Planning in 1950, renamed as Minister of Local Government and Planning in 1951. He still had the ear of the Prime Minister, and enjoyed promoting the careers of candidates with potential, but was no longer a major political player as he had been until 1947. He left government after the 1951 General Election. He was president of the Ramblers' Association from 1948 to 1950 and Master of the Drapers' Company in 1958-59. He was made a life peer as Baron Dalton, of Forest and Friton in the County Palatine of Durham in 1960. Although Dalton was married and had a daughter who died in infancy in the early 1920s, his biographer Ben Pimlott suggested that he was a repressed homosexual. As a young man, Dalton was close to the poet Rupert Brooke, who died of disease on his way to Gallipoli in 1915, and in later years, he acted as a mentor to various handsome young men - who were almost uniformly heterosexual. One notable beneficiary of Dalton's support was Anthony Crosland, whom Dalton talent-spotted at the Oxford Union in 1946 and whose selection for a winnable seat for the 1950 General Election Dalton later helped to arrange. Another was James Callaghan. His papers, including his diaries, are held at the London School of Economics Library. Florence Ruth Dalton (born Ruth Hamiliton Fox, 1890 – 15 March 1966), known as Ruth Dalton and later Lady Dalton, was a British Labour Party politician. A long serving member of the London County Council, she also holds the record for the shortest-serving female Member of Parliament. A graduate of the London School of Economics, she married in 1924 the Labour Party MP Hugh Dalton; they had one child, a daughter. The following year she was elected a member of the London County Council. Her husband was MP for Peckham in South London, later a solidly Labour seat, but then highly marginal; his majority in 1924 was only 947 votes. He had been selected as Labour candidate for the safe seat of Bishop Auckland in County Durham, where the sitting MP Ben Spoor was retiring, but Spoor died shortly before Christmas 1928, necessitating a by-election. However, Hugh Dalton could not stand without resigning his Peckham seat, and the candidate selected to succeed him in Peckham was John Beckett, then MP for Gateshead, so Hugh Dalton could not stand without triggering another two by-elections. The Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party therefore needed a candidate who would agree to stand down at the next general election. The seventy-strong general committee unanimously chose Ruth Dalton, because she could be relied on to resign in favour of her husband as soon as Parliament was dissolved; no other candidate was even considered. Ruth won the by-election on 7 February with a large majority and 57% of the votes, and served until Parliament was dissolved on 10 May for the 1929 general election. She had been Member of Parliament (MP) for only 92 days, a record never beaten, but equalled 45 years later by Margo MacDonald, the Scottish National Party MP for Glasgow Govan from 8 November 1973 to 8 February 1974. Dalton did not enjoy the House of Commons, and did not stand for Parliament again. She felt that more work was accomplished on London County Council, where she held her seat until 1931, returning from 1935 to 1942 as an alderman, including a time as Chairman of the Parks Committee. She later served on the Board of Governors of the Royal Ballet and from 1957-62 on the Arts Council. Her husband was made a life peer in 1960, and she was then known as Lady Dalton.

NEW YORK: E. P. DUTTON & CO. 1920 While studying economics at Cambridge in 1909-10, i became specially interested in those books, or parts of books, which set out to discuss the distribution of income. I gradually noticed, however, that most " theories of distribution " were almost wholly concerned with distribution as between " factors of production." Distribution as between persons, a problem of more direct and obvious interest, was either left out of the textbooks altogether, or treated so briefly, as to suggest that it raised no question, which could not be answered either by generalizations about the factors of production, or by plodding statistical investigations, which professors of economic theory were content to leave to lesser men. This state of things appeared to me to be very unsatisfactory, and my opinion was strengthened, when I read certain criticisms by Professor Cannan upon existing theories of distribution and still more when, at a later stage, I came into personal contact with his teaching in London. In 1911 I was elected to the Hutchinson Research Studentship at the London School of Economics, and began a study of the causes of the inequality of incomes in modern communities, with special reference to the effects of inherited wealth. But this scheme gradually broadened in several directions. In the first place I was led to examine more closely the historical development of the theory of distribution. In the second place, as a preliminary to, and as a partial basis of, my main enquiry, I attempted to extend the existing theory regarding the division of the total income of a community between different categories and, in particular, between different factors of production. In the third place, I attempted to compare statistically the inequality of incomes in different communities. Here I was struck, on the one hand, by the inadequacy of the available statistics, and on the other by the ambiguity of the conception of " inequality," and the need to give it, with special reference to incomes, a more precise definition and a logical measure. For many of the measures proposed by writers on the subject seemed empirical, ill-supported by argument, and sometimes even contradictory in their results. In the fourth place, I tried to reach definite conclusions regarding various proposals designed to reduce inequality without injury to productive power. By the summer of 1914 I had completed the first two Parts of the book as it now stands, and collected a considerable amount of material for the remaining Parts. After the outbreak of war my work was interrupted by more than four years of military service, and I was not free to take it up again till May, 1919. With a view to early publication, I then recast my scheme, putting aside a large quantity of the material which I had hoped to use. In particular, I have dropped out all discussion of the measurement of inequality, on which subject I hope shortly to publish a self-contained study. In Part I., then, I enquire how the great inequality of incomes in modern communities strikes modern minds, especially at the immediate close of the war, and how far ethical first principles give any guidance in regard to it. In Part II., I sketch the growth of the theory of distribution in the hands of successive generations of economists. It is an inevitable result of the revision of my pre-war plans that this part of the book should seem disproportionately long. The theory developed in Part III'., on the subject of the division of income between categories, is very much a skeleton. But even a skeleton is easier to clothe than a ghost, and it is only the ghost of a theory on this subject that can be discovered in existing textbooks. I shall watch hopefully for later writers, who will clothe my skeleton with flesh, or even, perhaps, re-arrange its bones. In Part IV., in discussing the division of income between persons and the causes of the inequality of incomes, I have deliberately laid great stress on the factor of inherited wealth, owing to its neglect by most other writers. In Chapter X. of Part IV. I have brought together a number of tentative suggestions for the practical reform of the law of inheritance. But I have not attempted to discuss the probable effects, on inequality and on productive power, of the various projects now current for the reorganization of industry, in whole or in part, on a Socialistic basis. For both thought and action in this matter are moving rapidly in many parts of the world, and any adequate discussion would need to be lengthy, while present conclusions, especially as regards production, may soon be modified by new experience. My obligations to Professor Cannan, as regards the general conception of the book, have already been indicated. I have further to thank him for many criticisms on points of detail. Sir Arthur Peterson and Mr. T. E. Gregory have also given me the benefit of their judgment on particular points. HUGH DALTON. London School of Economics, March, 1920. (1) Hugh Dalton, letter to Lord Halifax (2nd July, 1940) We have got to organize movements in enemy-occupied territory comparable to the Sinn Fein movement in Ireland, to the Chinese Guerillas now operating against Japan, to the Spanish Irregulars who played a notable part in Wellington's campaign or - one might as well admit it - to the organizations which the Nazis themselves have developed so remarkably in almost every country in the world. This "democratic international" must use many different methods, including industrial and military sabotage, labour agitation and strikes, continuous propaganda, terrorist acts against traitors and German leaders, boycotts and riots. It is quite clear to me that an organization on this scale and of this character is not something which can be handled by the ordinary departmental machinery of either the British Civil Service or the British military machine. What is needed is a new organization to co-ordinate, inspire, control and assist the nationals of the oppressed countries who must themselves be the direct participants. We need absolute secrecy, a certain fanatical enthusiasm, willingness to work with people of different nationalities, complete political reliability. Some of these qualities are certainly to be found in some military officers and, if such men are available, they should undoubtedly be used. But the organization should, in my view, be entirely independent of the War Office machine. (2) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (18th December, 1940) Stanley Baldwin desired only not to be troubled with foreign affairs at all. He left his successive Foreign Secretaries completely free. (There was, I recall, though I do not mention it tonight, the famous case of Hoare proceeding to Paris to negotiate the Hoare-Laval Pact, and Baldwin, asked in Cabinet by some of the younger Tories whether all was well, and whether there should not be some discussion now before irrevocable decisions were taken, said, 'I think we all have confidence in Sam; we can safely leave it in his hands.' Halifax relates that Baldwin, in the year of the Abdication, took three months' holiday (repeat three months), at the end of which he asked Eden, then Foreign Secretary, "Have you had many telegrams about the King?" Eden said no. Then Baldwin said, "I have had a great many, some from the most extraordinary people. I foresee that I shall have a lot of trouble over this. I hope that you will not bother me with foreign affairs during the next three months." Yet these were mois mouvementes in foreign affairs. Hitler was arming, arming, arming, day by day. But Baldwin was focused on the tactics of the Abdication. (3) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (28th April, 1941) Oliver Stanley (Conservative M.P. for Westmorland) dined with me alone in a secluded corner of the Lansdowne Club. He asked me what I had thought of the Prime Minister's speech on the air on Sunday. I said that I thought he had done well in a very difficult situation and had heartened his hearers. Stanley said, "It may have gone down very well with the 99 per cent who know nothing, but the 1 per cent of us who do know, feel rather differently." He then began a long tirade against the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, with whom I had said that I found my personal relations developing very satisfactorily, and that this was additionally important for smooth working, since he was so close to the Prime Minister. Stanley said he did not think he was the sort of man who ought to be close to the Prime Minister. He was, he added, vain, weak and unreliable. He had let down Stanley, Malcolm MacDonald and the rest at the time of his resignation. He had promised to consult them, and they had acted together as a group. They were on many points opposed to Chamberlain's Foreign Policy. Eden, however, chose a most frivolous pretext on which to resign, and gave Stanley and others no warning that he was going to do so. So much so that, at the Cabinet, on the proposal that we should begin again negotiations with Italy, Chamberlain had gone round the table, and got the acquiescence of all of them, and it was only then that Eden had quite suddenly said that he could not go on. Stanley then proceeded to attack, with such mild vehemence as he could command, the terrible error, as he judged it, of sending anything beyond a small token force to Greece. This, he said, was a crowning blunder. It was the Prime Minister's fault. The decision had been taken against all military and naval advice. It should have been seen from the start that the adventure was quite hopeless. The only real way to help Greece was to win the war. Instead of that we might now lose; both Greece and Egypt. We had thrown away a most valuable Air Force in Greece. At least four squadrons of fighters and three squadrons of bombers had been destroyed. It was quite wrong for Eden to have gone to the Middle East and worst of all to go to Athens. There he had been cheered in the streets and smothered in roses. How in such surroundings could he keep his judgment clear. A Foreign Secretary should stay always in the Foreign Office protected by distance and his officials from such local impressions. (4) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (27th August, 1942) In the Middle East the morale of all our people was most deplorable. Auchinleck had completely lost confidence in himself. Everybody was always looking over their shoulders towards prepared positions to which to retreat. The units at the Front were hopelessly mixed up, and there was no evidence of good staff work. Auchinleck had 180 Generals on his staff. This number has now been reduced to 30 by his successor. We should, of course, have hit Rommel hard when he reached his furthest point of advance. Winston Churchill and Sir Alan Brooke both went up to the line and followed different routes, and met that evening to compare notes. "Both", said Morton, "came back with faces like boots." They were both convinced that drastic and speedy action must be taken. Already there had been a very great improvement. But it was only just in time. Alexander, Auchinleck's successor, has hitherto been in charge of brilliant retreats. He was the last man off the beaches at Dunkirk and since then he has done Burma. (5) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (7th September, 1942) All ministers of Cabinet rank are invited to lunch at the Admiralty, and the P.M. makes one of his very attractive, intimate and amusing speeches to his 'pals and comrades'. He recalls our first gathering just before Dunkirk, and how then all seemed very black and we were all prepared to give up everything, including life itself as one of the least things to give up, rather than give in, and how we, by our united determination to go on to the end, sustained him in those days. And now, in spite of all, the prospect is immeasurably brighter. He gave an account, much on the lines that I had heard before, of his visit to the Middle East and Moscow. He said very frankly that Auchinleck had become a very dangerous failure and that the spirit of the troops was not at all good, though he hoped that now it had been improved. Of Stalin he said many complimentary things. Also "He is very genial out of business hours" and this he had appreciated. He thought that they had got on very well together. The last night, he being due to catch a plane away at 5 next morning, Stalin asked him, when they had finished their formal business about 7 p.m., whether he had any preoccupation that evening. When he said no, Stalin said, "Then let us go and have some drinks together." They then repaired to the Kremlin, to Stalin's private apartments, which were conveniently, but by no means luxuriously, furnished. Stalin then proceeded himself to draw the corks from a large number of bottles, in the midst of which process a pretty red-haired girl entered. She kissed Stalin, who looked to see how Churchill reacted to this. "And I confess", said the P.M., "that I acquired a quite definite physical impression. It was Stalin's daughter."Stalin then asked, "Do you mind if we have Molotov as well?", and added, "There is one thing you can say in defense of Molotov: he can drink." So Molotov was allowed in too. Then they had drinks and food and drinks and talk till 3 a.m., and then the P.M. said that he must go to pack up, as his plane left at 5. The P.M. is quite convinced that the Russians will fight on and on until victory. "Even if we and the Americans were to throw in our hands tomorrow, I am sure that they would go on." (6) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (22nd October, 1942) On Sunday night Cabinet changes are announced on the air. Morrison succeeds Cripps in the War Cabinet and the latter drops down to Minister of Aircraft Production, thus becoming a lodger downstairs in my own building. This hole is made by the appointment of Llewellin to Washington. Cranborne is to be Lord Privy Seal, and Oliver Stanley returns to the Government as Colonial Secretary. Eden is to lead the House of Commons. I write at once to Morrison, "Congratulations! The War Cabinet is strengthened." Next morning the Daily Herald begins its leader with these same last five words. It is, indeed, a great improvement. Nearly all Cripps's 'mystique' is now gone, and he has missed all his chances - never really good - of resigning with credit. He has, I think, been very skillfully played by the P.M. He may, of course, be quite good at the Ministry of Aircraft Production, but seldom has anyone's political stock, having been so outrageously and unjustifiably overvalued, fallen so fast and so far. I add in my letter to Morrison that I would like soon to have a meeting and a talk, and I write also to Ellen Wilkinson summarizing my letter to Morrison. (7) Hugh Dalton, diary entry (7th September, 1942) P.M. talks to No. 1 ministers. He has not held one of these general talks for some time. He says that the great battle in North Africa will begin this week. We have a superiority in men of more than two to one, in guns and aircraft of a good deal more. He thinks it will be a Stalingrad. Hitler has been constantly pouring in reinforcements and supplies by sea and air. We have sunk and destroyed much, but much has kept on coming in. This is Hitler's usual obstinacy. But we need not regret it. Hitler is, moreover, playing for time, and we have reason to know that he hopes we shall not start any new large land operations till 1st July. This probably means that he will by then have trained and ready the last 2,000,000 men whom he has scraped and squeezed out of German reserves of manpower. He is still immensely powerful; particularly if the Russians slow down, he could easily detach some thirty Divisions from the Eastern Front for other duties. He may still either push down through Spain or attack Turkey. If we must choose, we should prefer the former. Much thought has been given to our next move after clearing North Africa. There are practically no German troops in Italy or in the islands. The P.M. has been carrying on a double flirtation with Roosevelt and Stalin. The former has gone pretty easily. His relations with the President are most intimate and friendly. He does not want to use the direct approach on routine questions, but on questions of outstanding importance he is always pretty confident that it will work. Stalin is more difficult. But he has received two telegrams from him lately. One is thanking Churchill for the film Desert Victory. This has clearly been much appreciated. It is being shown in many parts of Russia. It demonstrates, says Stalin, how bravely and how skillfully the British are fighting. It disposes of the stories put about by those miscreants who allege that the British are not seriously in the war. The second telegram is in reply to a discouraging message about convoys. He takes the news very well, though not, of course, with pleasure. Further, Stalin always telegraphs congratulations whenever we raid Berlin. He evidently takes very great satisfaction in this. And no wonder! (8) Konni Zilliacus wrote about the relative merits of Ernest Bevin and Hugh Dalton in his unpublished autobiography, Challenge to Fear. He (Bevin) was a great working class leader with a fine record. But he was tragically miscast as Labour's Foreign Secretary in 1945. For he did not have a due to the problems facing him. He was too old and set in his ways to learn. Or rather, to unlearn and then learn afresh: that is, to do the kind of painful thinking that goes down to one's own prejudices and assumptions, tests them in the light of reason and facts, and then works out a policy that is genuinely 'realistic' because it is rooted in reality and not to an out-of-date conception of the world in which we are living, and harnessed to Labour's view of the national interest and not to that of the defenders of the old order. Hugh Dalton would have been far better, first of all because he really did know a lot about foreign affairs; secondly because he knew how to manage the Foreign Office officials, instead of being run by them; thirdly, because he was capable of learning from experience and correcting his mistakes; fourthly because he would listen to the views of back bench colleagues instead of treating any criticism or comments as an insult and relying on blind trade union loyalties and the power of the block vote to impose on the Labour Party the Churchillian policies that the Foreign Office had induced him to adopt. (9) Harold Wilson, Memoirs: 1916-1964 (1986) We were therefore closely involved in the economic crisis in the late autumn of 1947, which had persuaded Hugh Dalton in November to introduce an interim budget. It brought about his downfall. On his way to the House, he met by chance the Lobby correspondent of an evening newspaper and nonchalantly told him the main features of the measures he had in mind. These were telephoned by the journalist to his newspaper and, as a result of some misunderstanding, were printed and on the streets before the Chancellor, who as usual began with a general statement analysing the country's economic and financial problems, started to outline his specific proposals. While he was speaking, early copies of the newspaper were being passed from hand to hand on the Conservative benches. At first there was no attempt by the Opposition to make capital out of the Dalton gaffe, and Churchill spoke in a sympathetic vein about the indiscretion. But this was not enough for some of his backbenchers. The following afternoon, it became clear that Churchill was going to press the matter hard, involving Dalton's continuance in office. (10) Herbert Morrison, An Autobiography (1960) The 1947 economic crisis was at root largely due to the faulty administration at the Treasury for which Dalton must be held responsible as head of the department. Cripps, who was by this time a close friend of Dalton's, felt that the economic co-ordination required the attention of a full-time economic minister. Cripps, with the support of Dalton, was ready to lay the blame at Attlee's feet. I was told that Cripps wanted Bevin to be prime minister, and that Dalton agreed to this. Bevin, it was said - apparently wrongly - was ready to accept. I was asked what would I do? I have never felt up to indulging in high conspiracy and I refused to participate. Anyway, the conspiracy failed. (11) George Brown, In My Way (1970) Dalton had known John Carvel for years and he stopped to chat with him for a moment, very misguidedly mentioning one or two of the things that he proposed to do in his Budget. It never occurred to Dalton that there could be any harm in this; he was on his way into the Chamber to make his Budget speech, and it never crossed his mind that any newspaper could print it before he said it. But it did. A few lines of Budget news got into the Stop Press column of the old London Star, not, indeed, before Dalton got up, but before he sat down. That was enough to make Dalton feel that he had to resign as Chancellor. He was by then so broken by his struggles in the Cabinet that I think he would have resigned soon, anyway, but he would not have gone because of what was inevitably described as a Budget scandal. Dalton was undoubtedly indiscreet, but whether the incident was sufficiently scandalous to require the resignation of a Senior Minister I am less sure. Dalton himself felt that it was, and that was that. Dalton wrote two books about his political career, Call Back Yesterday (1953) and High Tide and After (1962). Britain's aging Queen Victoria, pottering about the halls of Windsor Castle in 1892, came upon a five-year-old boy eating grapes. She gave him a kindly pat on the head, for he was the son of her personal chaplain, Canon J. N. Dalton. "Go away, Queen," shouted the brash little boy, "I'm eating grapes." Unamused, the Queen exclaimed: "What a loud voice that boy has!" The little boy waxed—eventually to 6 ft. 3 in. The voice waxed too, and earned for Hugh Dalton the nickname "Booming Bittern." Many a Tory never forgave this product of aristocratic Eton and King's College, Cambridge, for joining the Labor Party after World War I. He was called a traitor to his class. Among Laborites, sarcastic Tory-lasher Dalton won honors, if not complete confidence. During World War II he served first as Minister of Economic Warfare, later as President of the Board of Trade. After the war, Clement Attlee made him Chancellor of the Exchequer, traditionally No. 2 post in the British Cabinet. Recently, as Sir Stafford Cripps towered into prominence as Britain's economic dictator, Dalton's own political stature shrank. Offense. One day last week Hugh Dalton strode confidently across the tessellated inner lobby of the House of Commons; he knew that he held Britain's spotlight. In his battered red leather dispatch box were the secrets of Britain's interim budget. Burly, greying John Lees Carvel, political correspondent for London's evening Star, cheerily hailed his old friend Dalton as he approached the door of the House, asked jokingly about the budget. Dalton threw a jovial arm around Carvel's shoulders and, remembering that the journalist liked a nip now & then, said: "John, your whiskey is going to cost you a bit more from now on. You'll have to pay a penny more for your beer, too." Item by item the salient points of the budget came out in Dalton's banter. Dalton strolled into the House. Carvel went to a telephone and dictated 55 fateful words to his paper. By the time Dalton had been booming for 13 minutes (but before he had mentioned any specific tax changes), the Star's "stop-press" column told of Britain's new taxes. Admission. Next morning the tempest he had so casually stirred up broke on Dalton. Tory M.P. Victor Raikes told Dalton that he would ask a question in the House about the tip to the Star. After a routine Cabinet meeting, Dalton took Attlee aside and admitted his indiscretion. He offered his resignation. That afternoon a much subdued Dalton arose in the House of Commons to answer Raikes's question. "I appreciate that this was a grave indiscretion on my part," he intoned, "for which I offer my deep apologies to the House." Winston Churchill arose and generously offered implied absolution: "May I acknowledge, on the part of the Opposition, the very frank manner in which the Right Honorable Gentleman has expressed himself to the House, and our sympathy with him at the misuse of his confidence which has occurred." But the storm gathered momentum. While the House buzzed with rumors, Attlee called a special Cabinet session, and Tory backbenchers called on Churchill to demand Dalton's head. In the evening, while Churchill was preparing a letter to Dalton demanding an inquiry, Attlee acted. History Review, March 2007 by John Plowright Summary: The article provides a biographical sketch of Hugh Dalton, Chancellor the Exchequer in Great Britain from July 1945 to November 1947. According to Ben Pimlott, he was the first truly socialist chancellor imposing redistributive taxation. An educational background of Dalton is presented. His affiliation with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is discussed. Moreover, the role of Dalton in the history of the Labour Party in Great Britain is also addressed. Excerpt from Article: Hugh Dalton was one of the dominant figures in the history of the Labour party and Chancellor the Exchequer, from July 1945 to November 1947, at a vital time. According to Ben Pimlott, he was the first truly socialist Chancellor, imposing redistributive taxation 'with a song in his heart'. In fact he revelled in the role of class traitor. Few socialists have had as exclusive an experience of privilege as the young Hugh Dalton. His father was tutor and then 'governor' to the two sons of the future Edward VII -- the Duke of Clarence and the future George V -- before he was made a canon (and steward) of St George's Windsor. From this rarefied background the young Hugh proceeded to Eton and King's College Cambridge (with a closed Eton exhibition in mathematics). At Cambridge he was emotionally attached to Rupert Brooke (with whom he joined the Fabian Society) and intellectually engaged by economics (to which he changed after a third in Part I of the Mathematical Tripos) through the teaching of Alfred Marshall and A. C. Pigou. After a false start in the law he began a long association with the London School of Economics, although he was beaten to a lectureship there in 1913 by Clement Attlee. He secured a commission in the army in 1915 and served with the Army Service Corps in France and the artillery in Italy. Returning to the LSE after the war (where he held the Cassell Readership in Commerce from 1920 until 1935) he entered parliament on his fifth attempt, in November 1924, as Labour MP for Peckham in London. In the 1929-31 Labour government he served as Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under Arthur Henderson. In the debacle of 1931 Dalton lost his seat and thus lost precedence to Attlee and Stafford Cripps who, together with George Lansbury, managed to retain theirs. He returned to parliament in the 1935 general election and thereafter spent much energy vainly trying to replace Attlee with Herbert Morrison (just as he was to engage in similarly futile unsolicited manoeuvres on behalf of Ernest Bevin in 1947). Dalton damaged his future prospects by loudly expressing his view that the 1935 contest for the leadership of the Labour party was between a nonentity (Attlee) and a drunk (Arthur Greenwood). Dalton was not unique in underestimating Attlee, but whereas others came to a grudging respect of the man who led Labour for two decades, Dalton never fully overcame his contempt for the man he once labeled a 'little mouse'. Opinions differ regarding Dalton's work in opposition in the thirties. Roy Jenkins, for example, sees this as his finest hour, outshining Attlee, Cripps and Lansbury in the vital job of resisting a lurch to the left, playing a central role in formulating the party's economic policy and generally rebuilding the party's prospects. Noel Annan, in contrast, rightly credits Bevin with having done more to steer Labour out of the paths of pacifism, whilst pointing out that although its policy may have been more electorally appealing than hitherto it was equally nonsensical, consisting as it did of a determination to deter aggressors through adherence to the principle of collective security rather than through serious rearmament. Thus in 1937 Dalton got Labour to commit itself in principle to rearmament (insofar as its official line moved from opposition to abstention on the service estimates), but it still voted against the introduction of a limited measure of peacetime conscription in April 1939. As one of Labour's leading opponents of appeasement Dalton reaped his reward when Churchill became Prime Minister and offered him the post of Minister of Economic Warfare, outside the five-man War Cabinet. Dalton's natural belligerence, which was always at its greatest when directed against the Germans and Whitehall officials, saw him triumph against both sets of enemies and extend the war-making capacities of his department from economic blockade to propaganda and sabotage, when he was put in charge of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in July 1940. This may seem of tangential importance now but it was not considered in that light at the time, when bombing, blockade and fomenting resistance appeared to be the three-pronged strategy for harassing and weakening the enemy, given Britain's inability to engage Hitler's land forces in significant numbers for the foreseeable future. A TRAITOR TO HIS CLASS By JONATHAN SCHNEER; JONATHAN SCHNEER, WHO TEACHES HISTORY AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, IS THE AUTHOR OF ''BEN TILLETT: PORTRAIT OF A LABOR LEADER.'' HE IS NOW WRITING A BOOK ON THE BRITISH LABOR LEFT FROM 1945 TO 1951. Published: September 15, 1985 HUGH DALTON By Ben Pimlott. Illustrated. 752 pp. Manchester, N.H.: Jonathan Cape/Merrimack Publishers' Circle. $29.95. HIS father was tutor to Queen Victoria's grandsons and Canon of Windsor. Hugh Dalton grew up - literally - in the shadow of the royal palace, leaving only for Eton, en route to King's College, Cambridge. Incongruous beginnings for ''the most socialist Chancellor of the Exchequer Britain ever had.'' But he was ''the first of the upper class renegades,'' as Ben Pimlott, who teaches politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and is the author of ''Labor and the Left in the 1930's'' demonstrates in this sympathetic, judicious biography. For 30 years Dalton was the rogue elephant of British politics, happiest when trampling on Tory sensibilities. His enemies claimed he believed in redistributing wealth less because he sympathized with the poor than because he hated the privileged. His supporters, his biographer among them, view Dalton as a key figure in the evolution of Labor as a moderate, popular, democratic Socialist party. He emerged as a major figure after 1931, when a Labor government in which he held junior rank failed to cope with the Great Depression and fell from power. Soon he numbered nearly as many enemies within Labor's ranks as without. Aggressive and bombastic, an inveterate though rarely successful intriguer, Dalton was, according to a colleague, ''the shiftiest man I ever knew.'' Yet the party needed him. Quick to apprehend Hitler's menace, he as much as anyone helped wean Labor from its traditional pacifism. Simultaneously, he was developing the program of ''practical Socialism'' with which Labor has been identified ever since. Historians have emphasized developments during World War II in accounting for Labor's 1945 program and landslide electoral victory. Mr. Pimlott shows that the groundwork was laid earlier. Under Dalton, study groups and party subcommittees hammered out details of an economic policy. When Labor took office in 1945, it was prepared as never before for power. So was Dalton. During World War II he had been Minister of Economic Warfare and president of the Board of Trade under Churchill. Now he rode into the treasury on the crest of the wave that had borne Labor to office. Aiming primarily to reduce inequality, Dalton lowered taxes for the poor and raised them for the rich ''with a song in my heart.'' His objective was ''to find money to finance a series of 'streamlined Socialist statutes.' '' From 1945 to 1951, Labor did nationalize nearly 20 percent of the economy, build a welfare state of unprecedented generosity and maintain full employment. Did Dalton make this possible? He could not persuade the Government to finance such measures by cutting military expenditure. Instead it accepted an American loan, negotiated by Lord Keynes. Dalton acquiesced. Otherwise ''there would have been shortages, heavy and growing unemployment'' and, eventually, electoral defeat. Ironically, America helped finance Britain's democratic socialist experiment. There was a price - free convertibility of sterling into dollars. Convertibility, which would allow the United States to penetrate British-dominated trading areas, was scheduled to begin in July 1947. When it did, a run on the pound ensued. Convertibility was suspended after a month. Nevertheless, Britain's gold and dollar reserves were alarmingly depleted. Dalton had foreseen this. Still, his reputation went into irreversible decline. Prime Minister Clement Attlee accepted his resignation soon afterward, ostensibly for reasons unrelated to the convertibility crisis. Though Attlee later appointed him to other Cabinet posts, Dalton's day on center stage was over. It had been a remarkable stint. Dalton played a crucial role in the Labor Party during a critical period in its history. He and Labor came of age simultaneously. Their joint progress is chronicled with lucidity and thoroughness in this impressive volume. Ben Pimlott shows that the peak of Labor's fortunes came after World War II, when, with Dalton at the fore, Labor built the welfare state. His booming voice continues to reverberate in Westminster.

The Story of Captain Davis Dalton Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from various sources on the World Wide Web.

All copy written material is the property of the owner and is not to be used for commercial use. This article is for private use only. Captain Davis Dalton was a long distance swimmer and swimming instructor. He wrote a book on how to swim. “How to swim by Davis Dalton, 1899, emanates from America, and is by a swimmer who may be called cosmopolitan. He could claim to be a German, an Englishman, or an American. See the London 1891 Census listing for Davis Dalton. His son, who helped him to write the book, is a Londoner but is resident in New York, so that the nationalities have become a little mixed. The book has many good and original points, but has the defect I have already mentioned as so common with English and Scotch writers of being published under the name of a professional so-called champion. However, for America it is the best book brought out since that of Bennet in 1846.” He had two sons that also wrote a few books about how to swim. Go here to read the full book: Swimming Scientifically Taught The Dalton method of swimming is still taught in schools today. How to swim, a practical treatise upon the art of natation, together with instruction as to the best methods of saving persons imperiled in the water, and of resuscitating those apparently drowned, by Captain Davis Dalton champion long-distance swimmer of the world: chief inspector of the United States Volunteer Life-Saving corps. He never lost his native accent, nor did he become acquainted with the English language sufficiently to write this book, nor did the experts in London consider him a good swimmer. In answer to my enquiry Mr. F. E. Dalton who is swimming instructor at the Battery Baths, New York, wrote on 16 Jan. 1900 that my late father Davis Dalton was born on 25 Oct .1846 at Vegesack near Bremen Germany, but in The Times 19 Aug 1890 it is stated that he was born in New York 26 Oct 1851. In 1890 he swam the English Channel. He was in the water 23 hours and swam sixty miles. It is not admitted in England that he ever got across. It was immediately disputed by The Times and The Daily Mail. But Dalton did a most foolhardy thing, which might have cost him his life, though he did it in ignorance, he jumped off the Ostende boat going at full speed. Davis Dalton was married at Philadelphia. His death occurred at Far Rockaway, Long Island NY. of apoplexy while giving a swimming exhibition with his son on 6 Aug 1899. Officially Senor Tirabocchi is the first man in history to swim from France to England and the fourth to cross the Channel either way. In a letter to The New York Times, F. E. Dalton of New York City claimed that in August, 1890, his father, Captain Davis Dalton, swam from Cape Griz-Nez to Folkestone in 231/2 hours, being covered with jellyfish bites when he landed and blinded by salt for two weeks afterwards. Some of the swimming complements of Capt. David Dalton: On December, 1899, Captain Davis Dalton swam for 12 hours continuously at the Latchmere Public Baths in London, England. On August 17, 1890, Captain Dalton left Folkestone for Boulogne with the intention of swimming back across the Channel to Folkestone, a distance of 27 miles. Dalton expressed his conviction that he could perform the journey in 20 hours, and if successful would beat the time of Captain Webb. He entered the water at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and accomplished the journey, without any remarkable incident, at half-past three the following afternoon. In July, 1891, Captain Dalton swam from Blackwall to Gravesend in the River Thames, London, covering the entire distance on his back. In December, 1891, Captain Dalton swam for 16 hours continuously at the Dover Baths, England. A swim made by Frank Eugene Dalton as reported in a local newspaper of the time: Professor Dalton, who had for some time past been training for his swim across the Channel, attempted on June 15th to swim from Dover to Ramsgate, a distance of about 22 miles. Great interest was evinced in the matter, both at Dover and Deal. C. E Fisher, of Green Hill, Harrow-on-the-Hill, who had challenged Dalton, came down quite unexpectedly and entered the water with Dalton. Both men, however, failed to accomplish the swim, which has only been done by the late Captain M. Webb. Dalton entered the water at nineteen minutes to nine a.m., and Fisher followed three minutes later. Dalton swam as usual, on his back, with his hands under him. Fisher using the breast and side stroke. Dalton averaged 48 strokes per minute for the first hour, while Fisher adopted a much more steady stroke. The water was not more than 48 degrees much to cold to make it wise for lengthened immersion. The wind was light from the east and directly against the swimmers, and it freshened very much as the South Foreland was approached, the broken water causing them mush discomfort. Fisher passed Dalton about two miles from Dover, but Dalton regained his lead, and the men swam in company for a time. At two minutes to eleven, when off the South Foreland, Dalton, who showed signs of fatigue, left the water, and was taken into the cabin of the launch, where he soon recovered. Fisher continued swimming, and a large number of boats came out from Deal to meet him. He was loudly cheered as passed the pier, which was reached at 1 o'clock. From this point however, he did little more than drift with the tide, and a twenty-seven minutes past one, when off Sandown Castle, he was taken out of the water, being almost paralyzed by the cold. Fisher says he will attempt to swim the Channel in the autumn in company with Dalton, or by himself. As reported in the Grey River Argus , 13 November 1912. This is a newspaper published in New Zealand. The Successful Swim Across the Channel. DETAILS OF DALTON'S FEAT. On a recent Monday afternoon, Davis Dalton, the American back-swimmer, accomplished his projected swim from France to England, landing on the beach at Folkestone at 3.28, about a thousand yards on the west side of the new Victoria Pier. The scene at the landing was one of great excitement. Dalton was thoroughly exhausted, and dropped down in a faint. He had been seen for a long time before he touched land, and a large number of boats gathered round him, while thousands of people congregated on the beach. Dalton was accompanied by Captain Henry Dunn, who acted as his pilot on the tugger lifeboat Ocean King. The swim is the longest which has been accomplished in the Channel, the distance traveled, allowing for drift of the tides, being about sixty miles at least. Dalton covered it in two ebbs and two floods, being in the water altogether 28 hours and 8 minutes, and swimming nearly the whole distance on his back. At 4 p.m. on Sunday, the weather being favorable, Dalton jumped off the stern of the Ocean King about a hundred yards from the head of Boulogne Pier, the flood tide taking him towards Cape Grisnez, when he had to contend with a strong ebb tide setting very fast to southwest. He was apparently swimming quite easily, aided by one or two short rests. A 6 p.m. he was still proceeding with the ebb tide, going with a strong, steady stroke with his legs, never, even when resting, having been in any other position than on his back. At 7 o'clock Dalton was swimming well, and asked for some refreshments. He took a cup of bovril, made hot by means of a spirit kettle. The weather was beautiful, and the sea comparatively smooth. Very slow progress was made off Cape Grisnez on account of the strong tide. The night was extremely cold, and small quantities of bovril were frequently taken by Dalton, still bearing north-east by east at 10.30, the rate of progress improved. Dalton was still cheerful, and his leg strokes were firm and strong and slightly quicker. A 1.30 a.m. Dalton was getting away from Cape Grisnez and drawing towards the east end of the ridge. The weather had improved and the water was smooth, but very cold for the time of the year. At 2 a.m. Dalton was making very little process, and took some more beef tea, saying he felt rather tired and cold. At 3 a.m. a shower of rain came on, prior to which Dalton had a long rest, lying on his back in the water, spread-eagle fashion. At four the day began to dawn, and Dalton, through swimming fairly well, had drifted, and continued to drift, a long way east-ward. The sea was very cold, he took small quantities of beef tea frequently. His rests in the water usually lasted about ten minutes. At .30, after a hard struggle, Dalton reached the Varne lightship, when he evidently was pretty well fagged out. He had been in the water about 14-1/2 hours, during which time both the sea and the wind had been decidedly cold. There had been a good deal of thunder and lightning, with occasional rain. Being spring tides, Dalton had some hard work to do in battling with them. A 7.30 the ebb tide was setting west from the Varne at a great pace. Squalls of rain were frequent, the sea and wind very cold. At 9.30 Dalton was setting fast towards Hythe with a strong current. At 10.20 he rested for ten minutes and complained of the coldness of the water, but started off again mush refreshed, showing very evident signs of fatigue. At 11.30 Dalton, very must exhausted, was supplied with more bovril, his strokes appearing very much weaker. At 12.15, just east of Hythe, Dalton was very much exhausted, had a short rest, and then proceeded, having now got the benefit of the flood tide. At 2.30 Dalton was abreast of Sandgate, and in a terribly cold and exhausted condition. At three o'clock Dalton was gradually getting weaker and taking longer rests, until it was quite painful to see him in the water. When spoken to he only said, "I am done up." About this time he used the breast stroke a little. His face had now a semi-livid appearance. When within a quarter of a mile from the shore Dalton swam quite powerfully again, and struck the shore at 3.28, amid the loud cheering of the spectators. Dalton is an American, having been born in New York in 1851. He has had great experience in swimming for the last twenty-five years, and has had long distance swims in the Pacific, Atlantic, Bay of Biscay, German Ocean, and the rivers Amazon and Mississippi, but he does not appear at any time to have swam for wagers. Eighteen months age he came to England with the special object of training for his big swim. Three months he went to Folkestone, since which time he has subjected himself to a severe course of training, rising at four o'clock in the morning and entering the sea for a two hour's swim, besides spending eight hours day in the Folkestone Swimming baths. in addition to this, he took long walks from six to eight miles daily. Dalton is a thick-set, muscular man, having powerful thighs and chest, and is about 5ft. 5in. in height. Source of above article: Wanganui Herald, Volume XXIV, Issue 7244, 20 October 1890. This is a New Zealand newspaper. Friday, August 22, 1890 (By Dunlap's Cable News Company) London, August 22. Mr. Davis Dalton, the American back swimmer, is not in an enviable frame of mind, owing to the universal disbelief in his assertion that he swam from Cape Grisnez to Folkestone on Monday. In order to stem the tide of public sentiment that is setting against him, he prints in attesting the fact. These, however, were made by persons totally unknown, and who were in Dalton's employ. A sporting sheet calls public attending to the fact Dalton was badly beaten by Beckwith at the Westminster aquarium in 1886, when a test as to which swimmer could remain longest in the water was made. The Telegraph this morning publishes a challenge from "A responsible Sportsman" offering Dalton a purse of $50 provided he will, before the end of September, swim in any style he likes, from Blackwall pier to Gravesend, a distance of twenty miles.

Dalton, Supposed to be Lost at Sea, Reappears and Saddens Coney Island. There was sadness through out Coney Island last night because of Capt. Davis Dalton, the life saver and professional swimmer, who started from the iron pier on Friday morning, saying that he intended to swim to Sandy Hook Lighthship, fourteen miles away. He returned yesterday morning to West Brighton with the two men who had accompanied him in a rowboat, and reported a desperate struggle of thirty hours with the deep and deadly sea. Coney Island believed him. When he swam in, panting and apparently exhausted, he was cheered and welcome as one returned from the locker of Davy Jones. People on the island had remained awake nearly all night awaiting news of him from the lightship, where he was to have reported, and searchlights were flashed upon the wide and seething water until daylight. Late yesterday afternoon Coney Island began to feel a chilling conviction that it has been sold, that its sympathies had false pretenses. Capt. Dalton was found to be wonderfully wide awake and comfortable for a man who had been buffeting the Atlantic and in a deadly peril thirty hours. He and his companions had told thrilling stories of the frequent upsetting of their boat. Yet of six ham sandwiches which they had carried with them, four were found dry, neat, and serviceable in the bottom of the boat. While the endurance of the Coney Island sandwich is known to all men, it was argued that no sandwich had ever been known to climb back in a boat and dry itself after it had been victim of an upset. Furthermore, a bottle of whisky which had been taken by the party was fond with its contents. This straw of circumstance abruptly broke the back of faith. Coney Island recognized that it had been deceived, fooled, as the vulgate there hath it; “made a monkey of.” The home of the “fake” had become the victim of the “fake.” The authors and manipulators of immoveable schemes and games had yielded weakly to the sinful device of an Englishman. Popular opinion there is that Capt. Dalton and his friends had gone to Fork Hamilton and spent the night there. In on other way can Coney Island account for the inviolate condition of the bottle and the unimpaired symmetry of the sandwiches. The Dalton party stuck manfully to their wild tale of the sea, but as they drifted away from each other their narratives diverged more widely, and as they become more graphic and copious in detail their memories of events become more and more contradictory. Their united intellects failed to explained the remarkable occurrence of a man swimming fourteen miles and turning when almost in hail of his goal-they say they went close to the lightship-to swim fourteen miles back. Coney Island was unanimous in the opinion that it had been made the victim of misplaced confidence and undeserved enthusiasm. Monday, August 07, 1899 Famous Swimmer and Life Saver Stricken With Apoplexy While in the Water at Rockaway. Caption Davis Dalton, the well-known life saver and expert swimmer, was drowned yesterday afternoon in the ocean near Hog Island, Far Rockaway. Caption Dalton was giving an exhibition of swimming at the time and was seized with apoplexy in the water. He uttered no outcry when he sank and for some time it was though by some of the people who were watching him from the beach that he was fooling them. Finally, however, oats were put out and several men dived down in search of the swimmer. His body was recovered and brought ashore. Coroner Ruoff's physician was summoned and after an examination he said that death had been caused primarily by apoplexy. Captain Davis Dalton gained considerable fame as a swimmer by swimming from Coney Island to Sandy Hook, a couple of years ago. He left Ravenhall's Pavilion, near the old iron pier early one morning and did not return for two days. A boat followed him to Sandy Hook. As a life saver, Captain Dalton had a record that excelled those of the others. it is said that he rescued during his life, 278 persons from drowning. |

Some History of the Dalton Brothers of Orange, NSW, Australia (See also the video presentation "The Daltons of Orange" by Robert Bruce from DGS Meeting in Orange) Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from various sources on the World Wide Web. Sources are from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Google images search. Other sources are listed in the article. All copy written material is the property of the owner and is not to be used for commercial use. Orange, NSW, Australia James Dalton was a merchant and pastoralist, born in Duntryleague, Limerick, Ireland, son of James Dalton, innkeeper, and his first wife Eleanor, née Ryan. Because of the famine he went to New South Wales with his father in the late 1840s. In 1849 James senior opened a bark and slab store in Orange. In 1853 James junior set up as a storekeeper in Orange, where he married Margaret Mary Collins in 1858. In that year his brother Thomas joined him and the firm became known as Dalton Bros. James helped displaced miners and in 1857 promised to build a mill if they grew wheat; his flour-mill was built in 1861. The firm's business expanded until it became the largest wholesale distributor west of the Blue Mountains. They had great success producing roasted and ground coffee on a large scale and later built large wool stores in Orange, where in 1865 they built an impressive retail store in Summer Street. By 1871 they had acquired three stations in the Lachlan district. James Dalton had two sons, James & Thomas Dalton, who become the Dalton Bros. and they soon become very wealthy from their business interests. In 1836, a grant of 640 acres of land, known as "Campdale" was made to William Ealy Simpson for which he paid 160 pounds. In 1849, James Dalton moved to Orange having previously owned and operated a small store in the nearby village of Lucknow. He later went on to establish a number of flour mills in Orange in partnership with his brother Thomas, and later, his half-brother Michael. Over the years, the Daltons acquired substantial land holdings in and around the Orange district. The Dalton Bros continued to flourish in the 1870s and in 1876 James built Duntryleague, a mansion set in magnificent grounds, reputedly for £50,000. Aware that the coming of the railway, for which James had turned the first sod in 1874, would mean the end of wholesale distributors in the west Dalton Bros established an importing agency in Sydney, managed by Thomas, and in 1878 built Dalton House, Pitt Street. They built stores in lower Fort Street and had a wharf and bond and free warehouses at Millers Point. In 1878 James bought Ammerdown, near Orange, and later, Kangaroobie. The Dalton family was one of the colony's richest and most influential Catholic families. Thomas, a papal knight, became mayor of Orange in 1877, represented Orange in the assembly in 1882-91 and was a member of the Legislative Council in 1892-1901. He died in Sydney on 26 June 1901. His daughter Blanche married Sir Mark Sheldon. James's second son, James Joseph, became the first native-born Australian member of the House of Commons when he was elected for West Donegal in 1890 in the Parnell interest. Despite exceptional enterprise and business ability James was kindly, unassuming and ever ready to help an Irishman in distress. He was a friend of Cardinal Patrick Moran and Bishop John Dunne and a benefactor of St Mary's Cathedral. He received a papal knighthood in 1877. He died aged 85 on 17 March 1919 at Duntryleague, Orange. Predeceased by his wife, he was survived by four sons and four daughters. His estate was worth £73,000. Some tidbits about James Dalton: The first meeting of the Orange Municipal Council took place on 18 February 1860. The meeting, which was held in the Court House, was presided over by the Chairman, John Peisley with Councillors John Woodward, George McKay, William Dale, Dennis Hanrahan and William Tucker Evans in attendance. Crown Solicitor, George Colquhoun, was appointed Council Clerk and Messer’s James Dalton and Patrick Kenna were appointed as auditors. The total value of real property was £5,859 and the rates for the first year amounted to £265/12/7. The Sydney Morning Herald - NSW: Saturday 6 June 1903 IN BANKRUPTCY. (Before the Registrar, Mr. A.

The Sydney Morning Herald - NSW: Friday 9 January 1880 Mr. James Dalton took possession of his new mansion, DuntayLeague, yesterday, and celebrated the event by a magnificent dinner party, at which there were many distinguished guests. The house and grounds have been completed at a cost of £30,000. The Argus - Melbourne, Victoria: Tuesday 23 April 1901 NEW SOUTH WALES. SYDNEY, Monday. Mr. John Dalton, third son of Mr. James Dalton, of Dalton Bros., the well known Sydney merchants, died last night, at the age of 35 years, after n short illness. He had had charge of the firm’s mills and was a great favorite among a very large circle of fiends. He look considerable Interest in the public affairs. The Sydney Morning Herald - NSW: Tuesday 19 April 1892 OPENING OF A FLOUR MILL AT ORANGE. ORANGE, MONDAY. The formal opening of Messrs. Dalton Bros. new flour mill took place to-day, and was celebrated with a banquet, at which over 300 persons sat down. Mr. James Dalton occupied the chair, and there were present Messer’s. Torps, M.L A., J. T, Lane, P. M.., the Mayors of Orange and East Orange, and most of the leading citizens. The mill was started by the Misses Jane and Winifred Dalton, daughters of the proprietors. The erection of the mill was started 12 month ago, the building being from planed by Messer’s. A. D. Nelson and Co., Sydney, who contracted for the erection of all the machinery. The machinery was made by Messer’s Hind and Lund, of Preston, Lancashire, England. In the meantime while, the construction of the mill was going on the ironwork was being constructed by Messer’s A. D. Nelson in Sydney. The machinery is considerably heavier than that in any other mill in New South Wales There are five brake roller mills 40in. Long and 10in. in diameter. The reduction plant contains nine sets of rollers, each 25in. long and 10in. in diameter, and each of the mills has four rollers. There are 17 acts of elevators. On the second floor is the Atlas purifiers, so constructed as to dispense with storeroom and dust collectors. On the third floor are the centrifugals and scalpers. On the floor are more centrifugals and brake reels. In the basement the shafting for driving the reduction and brake rolls extends the full length of the building. One feature of the machinery is that the motive power is in every case direct from the engine to each line of shafting. The new building contains 300,000 bricks, and 12,000 yards of earth were excavated for the foundations. The plant is said to be the largest and most expensive in the colony. The homestead at “Kangaroobie” But in 1881 the property entered its best-known tenure of ownership when it was bought by James Dalton as part of that local business family’s extraordinary pastoral expansion. James Dalton’s father (another James) had arrived in the colony, like Thomas Kite, in chains, but likewise gained his freedom and in 1847 set up a shop at Frederick’s Valley, eight kilometres east of present-day Orange. The discovery of gold at nearby Ophir in 1850 brought fortune-hunters flocking to the district so when young James(then just 19) hung up his own shingle in Orange in 1853, his timing was perfect. Trading as Dalton Brothers (James was joined in 1858 by his brother Thomas), the two built up a diverse business that came to be known throughout western NSW, and made them rich men. From modest beginnings as suppliers to the goldfields, the Daltons branched into buying gold, warehousing and forwarding wool from western stations, flour milling and general merchandising. Apart from the main store and warehouse in Summer Street, Orange, Dalton Bros at its height also had a warehouse in Pitt Street, Sydney and its own wharf at Millers Point. Commercial success soon found expression in the establishment of a suitably impressive family seat, the Orange mansion James built in 1876 and named “Duntryleague” (after his father’s birthplace in Ireland) –today, home of the Orange Golf Club. Land acquisitions followed, with “Ammerdown” on the western edge of Orange in 1878, “Kangaroobie” in 1881 and later “Adare” and “Look Out”. By the time of James’ death in 1919, the family’s Orange district landholdings encompassed more than 30,000haextending from the town boundary to Mullion Creek, 20km to the north. In addition, the Daltons owned the 11,000ha “Gobabla” at Nevertire and “Belowra” (20,000ha) near Nymagee, as well as interests in several stations around Condobolin. The Orange properties alone ran 40,000 sheep, which were shorn – along with sheep from other surrounding properties– at a 32-stand woolshed near the Mullion Creek railway siding. Remnants of the shed survive today on the “Jumbuck” property owned by Terry Ostini. The properties were run as an integrated unit as Dalton Estates, with weaners (Romney/Merino cross) sent from “Kangaroobie” to “Gobabla” to grow out, the wether portion then transferred as wool cutters to “Belowra” and the ewes back to “Kangaroobie”. Shorthorn cattle were also run on “Kangaroobie” and other Dalton properties, and bullocks were sent to the western stations for finishing in good seasons. James’ fourth son, Michael (MF), was given the job of managing the pastoral operations and it was for him that James in 1902 erected the magnificent two-storey “Kangaroobie” homestead overlooking the upper reaches of the Bell River. Designed, like “Duntryleague” by specially-imported English architect, Benjamin Backhouse, the “Kangaroobie” homestead is built in Federation Queen Anne style, with period features. Encircling tall verandahs fringed with ornate cast iron lace work give the house a commanding presence which is reinforced by the matching octagonal bays flanking the main entrance. It was built on the site of the original Kite homestead erected in the 1840s, two wings of which were incorporated into the new structure and used as servants’ quarters. The homestead served as MF’s family home until his death in 1944, apart from a nine-year gap after his father’s death in1919, when he became more involved in the management of the store and shifted to “Duntryleague” to be closer to Orange. In 1928 Daltons’ retail emporium was bought by Western Stores, of which MF became a director. He also remained in charge of Dalton Bros’ milling operation and the pastoral interests. . The homestead at “Kangaroobie” THE WILL of the LATE MR. T. G. DALTON. Probate has been granted of the will of Mr. Thomas Garrett Dalton, merchant, of Orange who died on May 4.

She brings with her a debutante sister, Miss Maud CORBETT, who was greatly admired in London and Dublin during the season. The Central West of New South Wales, especially around Orange, has many historic houses, both public and private houses. Some of the new owners have had the funds to restore them. A prime example is "Kangaroobie", the residence of the Dalton family in Orange. "Kangaroobie", with its outbuildings and stables, was a fine building that fell into disrepair. Prior to the new owners taking it over the house was becoming derelict. Often we would say that cattle could walk in the back door and out the front door. Fortunately someone from Sydney bought the property and was able to spend $2 million to restore the building and its surrounding gardens. It will remain a part of our history, together with a number of other buildings around Orange. Although they are not under the control of the Historic Houses Trust they are an important part of this nation and our history. |

Our loss is great, some eight or nine hundred killed and something like 10,000 wounded. Thomas Williams is. I think they will treat him well. I know you will hate to hear it . . . I think we killed more of them than they did of us . . . I has been rainy save all day and all night. No more at present. " [dated September 30, 1863] " . . . They attacked about sun up. I was in bed and they got my boots and two pair of drawers. They got everything. I and Lige had but the shirt and pants we had on. We killed four of them and wounded five. We got reinforcements this evening . . . I tell you pap, the bullets flew around me as thick as hail . . . I can't write half I'd like to, I have no paper. Write often, yours ever . . ."

Kentucky 28 Booker White Dalton 19th Regiment, KY Infantry, Booker White Daulton was born 17 December 1841 and died 31 March 1898. He was the son of William W. and Dicey West Daulton. Little is known of Booker’s childhood other than he was probably raised near Somerset as his father and mother are buried in the Somerset Cemetery. By 1861 the Civil War had broken out in America. Dividing lines were being drawn. For whatever reason Booker elected to join the Union Army. Shortly after the Battle of Mill Springs (January 1862) Booker White Daulton joined the Kentucky 19th Infantry and was placed in Company C with the rank of a private. Anderson Webb, father of my grandmother Mary Rhoda Jane Webb Daulton (wife of William J Daulton), joined the same regiment about the same time and was placed in company A. It is interesting to note that most of the young men in our area of that time joined the Union instead of the Confederacy. In the Battle of Cumberland Gap I had three Grandfathers involved in that battle. Booker W and Anderson Webb were both with the USA KY 19th and William Clifton with the CSA VA 64th. Unfortunately my Grandfather Clifton was taken as a POW and shipped to Fort Douglas in Illinois were he later passed away in that prison. Booker White Daulton served in the Kentucky 19th from 1861 into 1865. He mustered out in 1865 and the records showed that he was generally disabled. From this account we know that he was probably wounded on one or more occasions. 36 Carter D.

Extracts from a few of those letters follow: From Manassas Junction, VA, dated 31 Sept 1861: Amos gave the names of those who were attached to the Davis Guards of the Hampton Legion. At the time, Amos was convalescing from the measles. From Prince William County, VA, dated 27 Feb 1862, Amos questioned whether he would be sent to Tennessee and described his picket guard duty the night before: “hit was So darke that i coodent see not one thang to Save my life.” On 12 June 1862 he described a fight where “the balls fell all around me just like granes of wheat.” By September 1862, he was in Winchester, VA, where a kind citizen washed his clothes, gave him food, writing paper, and envelopes, and made him a haversack. While Amos was in the hospital in the summer of 1863 in Petersburg, VA, his father gained permission and a pass to travel there to see his son. Smallwood wrote back to his family to tell them that Amos was better than expected and would soon be out of the hospital. 35 Andrew J.

At the battle of Bunker Hill, Tennessee, because of shortage of supplies, clothing and weather he deserted the Army and headed home. Upon arriving home, Grayson, went to Young's Mountain and hid out in a cave for approximately one year. Food and supplies were furnished to this hide-out by the family. On several occasions the Army knowing he had deserted sent Army Officer "Old Blue" looking for him. On one trip the Officer "Old Blue" became angry when Mary refused to tell of Grayson's where abouts and the Officer destroyed and broke all of her dishes and completely dismantled the kitchen. 222 James Lt.

The Story of Jack Dalton Jack Dalton was born in 1856 and died in 1944. Because of his killing a man in Washington state he used the last name to Millar, although this may be a fictional account. Jack Dalton's life of nearly ninety years spanned an era of almost unparalleled change. In his role as Alaska's premier freighter during the Gold Rush days in the Klondike and Alaska he observed, directly, the replacement of men and horses by machines. In his old age, Dalton saw the encroachment of aircraft on railways and steamships, the earlier prime-movers. Accounts of Jack Dalton's early life are sketchy at best and sometimes misleading. His birth has been variously placed in Oklahoma, Kansas, or the Cherokee Strip in 1855 or 1856. Most probably, he was born in Michigan about June 25th, 1856, the place and date of his birth given on Dalton's California death certificate. Jack Dalton was the son of Joseph Dalton of Ireland and Hannah Cunningham of County Kerry, Ireland. Joseph arrived in the United States during 1848 and Hannah arrived in 1851. They were married in Henry County, Indiana on Dec. 1, 1855. They then went to Canada shortly afterwards. The Joseph Dalton family removed to Northern Michigan in 1866 and settled in Osage Township, Miami County, Kansas about 1872. Jack then left home after the June 1, 1880 Census of the family. Jack is then found in Burns, Oregon circa 1883. He then went to Alaska in 1885, where he made his presence known in gold mining, exploration and development of Alaskan and Yukon Territories. Jack had children by two marriages and one child by an earlier liaison with a Native Alaskan Tinglit woman. His business ventures involved travelling in Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada, and round trips by steamer between Southern Alaska and Seattle, Washington. He left Alaska for good in 1916 and settled in Yakima, Washington. He is then found in the 1920 and 1930 Census of Yakima, Washington with family members. Published accounts of Dalton's life indicate that Dalton had only one or two years of formal education. The same accounts often describe him as a self-educated man who enjoyed reading and writing. Moreover, Dalton had many valuable pioneer skills. It is perhaps universally agreed Jack was not a man to cross as he had a hair-triggered temper, and strength that belied his stature. He was a good shot and was usually armed. Jack Dalton was personable, confidant and of average height. He wore a black wide-brimmed hat, suspenders, holstered Colt revolver under his right arm, calf-high moose skin moccasins and sported a luxurious flowing blond mustache. History hints at, but can't confirm, that he may have been forced to runaway from his Oklahoma home for shooting a man when he was 15 years old, perhaps in self-defense. Another story cropped up that he had to leave Oregon Territory to escape prosecution and/or lynching for a shooting escapade. An erroneous tale was told that Dalton had worked on a ranch under the assumed name of Miller. Why he would change his name in Oregon Territory than revert to the name Dalton in Alaska makes no sense. A man could run but he couldn't hide from a U.S. Marshal. The story goes that he had fled Oregon Territory in 1882 after fatally shooting a man. But the urban legend is riddled with an many holes as was the fictitious victim. For starters, there is no such handgun as a Colt Bulldog with which to do the deed. It was nearly four years before Dalton reached Alaska. The rest of the story has to be discounted as one told by a Burns County, Oregon, blowhard who was seeking glory for himself while discrediting Dalton, who, by then, was heralded as a folk hero. Another story that Dalton went to San Francisco in 1883 and hired on with a sealing vessel that wintered in the miserable climes and conditions at Herschel Island, off the northern tip of the Yukon District, is also dubious. This was said about Jack Dalton, " Jack Dalton had a very long and very interesting life. He was described by a woman in Haines as 'a dapper, well-dressed, ladies man'. He is best known for opening up the Dalton Trail out of Haines. He ran a hotel in Haines in 1896 and later arrested Jack Wade for murder, but also was himself jailed for shooting a shopkeeper McGinnis. He was later acquitted. He was mentioned in the 1903 AK Boundary Tribunal by Don-a-wak, chief of the Chilkat Indians. In 1886, Jack signed on as roustabout and camp cook with the Schwatka-New York Times expedition to climb Mt. St. Elias. The party began their ascent at tidewater in Icy Bay on July 17, 1886. They traversed rugged terrain for twenty-five to thirty days, crossed fast coastal rivers, and reached an elevation of about 5,700-feet before Schwatka's health failed, which terminated the first recorded attempt on the difficult mountain." Dalton has come down through history with a reputation for trouble. The fabled stories may have been garbled with the troubles he encountered in Haines Mission for shooting a man and a Juneau vigilante group threatening to lynch him after a court acquitted him of murder. Dalton began his travels as a late teenager when some scrape caused him to move to Texas and change his name, temporarily, to Jack Miller. Under that name, he worked his way north and west and gained a reputation as a hard working and versatile ranch hand, but also as a formidable fighter. In about 1882, Jack moved to Burns, Oregon where he ran a small logging company. Trouble began when Dalton fired his cook. The cook returned to camp and at first opportunity pulled a concealed pistol on Jack who grabbed the cook's arm deflecting the shot. The two men struggled; Jack pulled his own pistol, and in the ensuing fight, the cook was shot fatally. The cook had numerous friends in the area, and Jack thought it prudent to leave the country for San Francisco, where he shipped northward on a sealing ship bound for Herschel Island and other points along the Siberian and Alaska coastlines. Trouble followed Jack, as the entire crew was arrested for illegally hunting fur seals and jailed in Sitka. Dalton gained his freedom in the mid 1880s and immediately began to augment his earlier reputation as a man of great ability, but dangerous. At that time Dalton, about thirty years old, was an expert at anything related to horses, a skilled hunter, excellent rough cook, and adept with small boats of any type. He made a reputation as a negotiator with the southeast Indians. Dalton quickly learned "the Chinook Jargon," the trade language used along the north Pacific coast and he used it effectively. Although lacking in formal education Jack wrote well. His virile good looks made him attractive to the opposite sex. A Haines pioneer who first met Jack in 1906 described him, whom she had known as a frequent guest at her girlhood home, as a "dapper, well-dressed, ladies man." In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Dalton participated in several noteworthy expeditions. In 1886, Jack signed on as roustabout and camp cook with the Schwatka-New York Times expedition to climb Mt. St. Elias. The party began their ascent at tidewater in Icy Bay on July 17, 1886. They traversed rugged terrain for twenty-five to thirty days, crossed fast coastal rivers, and reached an elevation of about 5,700-feet before Schwatka's health failed, which terminated the first recorded attempt on the difficult mountain. At the conclusion of the trip, Dalton elected to stay in the Yakutat vicinity prospecting for coal, possibly for Sitka businessman Edward DeGroff. In one later evaluation, pioneering ethnologist Fredricka DeLaguna believed that Dalton was the premier explorer of the coastal region near Disenchantment Bay. In 1888, Dalton discovered a coal deposit not far from Bancas Point. In 1890, Dalton joined the "Frank Leslie Newspaper Expedition" which was formed to explore the largely unknown land between the Alaska Coast and the Yukon. The expedition was led by E.Hazard Wells, and included E. J. Glave, A. B. Schanz, F. B. Price, and Dalton. Jack used both negotiating and practical skills for the expedition. Access to the interior over the so-called "Grease Trails" had always been controlled by the Chilkat band. In his earlier years the Chilkat chief, Kohklux, adamantly opposed the whites and had been in the party that burned the post at Fort Selkirk in 1852. By the late 1880s, Kohklux realized that the military power and sheer numbers of invading settlers could not be opposed. At odds with some of the Chilkat leadership, Kohklux proposed that the Chilkats open the trails and act as packers. With agreement on access and payment of considerable fees, the Leslie expedition began to make the ascent of Chilkat Pass. Each Chilkat packer carried about 100 pounds, ascending the Chilkat to its headwaters, snowshoeing across a glacier at the head, and then descending downstream to Kusawa Lake. Except for one Chilkat Indian, who remained as guide, the rest of the Chilkats returned to the coast. The remaining expedition divided near Kusawa Lake. Most of the expedition continued to the Yukon on a raft. Dalton and Glave, however, went westward on foot until they encountered Lake Klukshu, south of Dezadeash. They then followed the Tatshenshini, the main tributary of the Alsek, to the settlement at Neskataheen, the principal trading center on the Alsek. At Neskateheen the local Indians were Athabascan; usually called the Stick Indians. Glave and Dalton left the village and walked sixty miles downstream to a fish camp where they bought a dugout canoe and hired Shank, a local guide. Later Glave wrote, "Dalton and an Indian called Shank are the two best men I ever saw handle a paddle." Today the one-hundred mile stretch of the Alsek River from the fish camp to the mouth at tidewater is considered a major white water challenge. Dalton and Glave were the first white men to boat the lower Alsek. Detailed accounts of the expedition in popular articles greatly increased interest in Alaska. Israel C. Russell, who headed the National Geographic Expedition in 1890-91, recognized Dalton's local prominence, naming the large glacier into Disenchantment Bay as Dalton Glacier. In the spring of 1891, Dalton and Glave returned to the Haines area determined to try a new way of freighting. They brought four sturdy pack horses, each of about 900 pounds. The party arrived at Pyramid Harbor near modern Haines in May 1891 and found pasture near Klukwan. The consensus of other freighters, Indians, and miners was that horses would fail. Glave and Dalton, each leading two horses with 250-pound packs, followed the traditional trail to Neskataheen, where the Stick people had never seen a horse and doubted their practicality. At first, the Sticks showed no interest in helping Dalton and Glave. But after watching Glave and Dalton handle the horses, a leading Stick elder proposed that they use the horses to haul their trade goods and equipment northward toward the Yukon. Dalton and Glave agreed to haul the goods, and the Sticks were soon converted when they saw how easily and quickly the horses moved loads. Dalton spent most of 1892 and part of 1893 in finding and improving a trail to the Yukon that could be used by his packhorses. Starting from Pyramid Harbor, Dalton's trail crossed the coastal mountains at the head of the Klehini and continued northward near Dezedeash Lake and within a short distance of Neskataheen. Dalton Post was established some eighteen miles south of Dezadeash and Champagne near Neskataheen. A post called Dalton Cache was established near the Canadian border near where the trail divided. One branch followed the Nordenskjold drainage to the Yukon then along the Yukon past Five-Finger and Rink Rapids to Fort Selkirk. Another branch went from Champagne to Aishihik Lake to Selkirk. Dalton found that the tough little pack horses could winter over near Dalton Post and Champagne. The Dalton Trail was completed and in operation when the Klondike was struck in 1897. It remained in constant use until the Yukon and White Pass Railway was completed in 1900 and had some use for the next decade. Long before the White men reached the interior, the ancestors of the contemporary Champagne Indians occupied an important position for trade with coastal Indians. At the interior end of the Chilkat Pass, they had a summer settlement (named Neskatahin in the Tlingit language) near the Alsek and Tatshenshini drainage where Pacific salmon could be caught. Neskatahin provided a center for contact and trade among different communities. In 1892, one of the first whites to visit wrote: “Neska-ta-heen is an important rendezvous. During the winter natives of the interior roam over all the land an small parties, hunting and trapping, but return here with their spoils of black and brown bear,black, cross, gray, white and red fox, wolverine, land otter, mink, lynx, beaver, etc. and exchange them for blankets, guns, powder and tobacco, which the Chilkat Indians bring to them from the coast. The latter have always enjoyed a monopoly of this trade and natives of the interior have been prevented by them from going to the coast.” Like the inland Tlingit at the head of the Taku River and the Tagish at the head of the Chilkat Pass, these people came important in the trade network. Each spring, families from Kluane Lake, Aishihik Lake and Hutshi came to Neskatahin to trade with Chilkats who had made a two week journey from the coast. In summer and fall, people from Neskatahin would go further inland to get trade goods to bring back for trade with Chilkats the following spring. Sometime in the middle of the nineteenth century, a party of Indians from the upper White River came down and attacked a large camp of people while they were fishing at Neskatahin. This happened after a trade dispute. Only two small groups survived: they are the ancestors of the contemporary Champagne Indians. A man who was the chief of Champagne people for some years, Mr. Johnny Fraser, says he remembers seeing the first white men cross the Chilkat pass in the early 1890’s when Jack Dalton came with pack horses and established Dalton Post. dalton and his party were the first white traders to cross the interior from the coast and older people still talk about the stir caused by the strange looking animals - horses - they - brought. Eight years later, in 1902, a trading post was built at the present sight of Champagne. Most families maintained cabins at two or three locations but Champagne became a winter headquarters and a spring and fall trading center. When the Alaska Highway was pushed through in 1942, it passed through Champagne at Mile 947. Families from Hutshi began to move to Champagne about that time. Dalton Post was a trading post built in 1895 by Jack Dalton close to the First Nation village of Neska-ta-heen. The North-West Mounted Police also had quarters there. Thompson describes the interior of the trading post in April, 1898 "-the shelves being piled high with calicoes, and ginghams, shoes, hats, tin pans, plates, and cups, while from the roof-beams depended kettles, pails, steel traps, guns and snowshoes." During the summer of 1898, Dalton Post was robbed of several thousand dollars, while Jack Dalton was away on a guiding trip. Members of Soapy Smith's gang, from Skagway, were blamed for the incident. In its early days, the trail, sometimes with as many as 250 pack horses in a train, was not universally popular. Storekeeper Don McGinnis tried to stop Dalton by appealing to the Chilkat Indians to deny access. Matters came to a head on March 6, 1893 when Dalton went to McGinnis' store. In a fight, probably over the possession of Dalton's pistol, McGinnis was shot and died the next day on the way to the hospital at Juneau, where Dalton was jailed. On June 18, 1893, a jury held that the shooting was accidental and acquitted Dalton. Deputy Marshall Sylvester commended the jury, but a large group of Juneau citizens were dissatisfied and denounced both Sylvester and the verdict. Dalton paid little attention to a written notice from the group to leave Alaska or face the consequences. Above photo shows Jack Dalton (4th from left) and his Dalton Post Another story told about Jack Dalton is this: "Strapping snowshoes to horses’ hooves was a tactic employed by Jack Dalton when he was investigating the feasibility of bringing the first horses out of Haines, Alaska into the Yukon in May, 1891.Suspecting they might have a lot of soft snow to cross on the 4,750-foot Chilkat Pass, Dalton and his trail companion, Edward James Glaves, constructed sets of four snow-shoes for each horse before starting the gradual climb to the summit.“The horse's hoof was placed in a pad in the center of the shoe, and a series of loops drawn up and laced round the fetlock kept it in place,” explained Glaves in a written account. “When first experimenting with these, a horse would snort and tremble uponlifting his feet. Then he would make the most vigourous efforts to shake them off. Standing on his hind legs, he would savagely paw the air, then quickly tumble onto his forelegs and kick frantically. We gave them daily instruction in this novel accomplishment till each horse was an expert." Above: A rare photo of Jack Dalton, taken in March, 1898 at Dalton Post. Below: Part of the Dalton Trail, 1898. The trail passed over all kinds of terrain, from "good hard road covered with reindeer moss" to mosquito infested swamps. The overall opinion was that Jack Dalton showed good judgment in laying a trail that was easy on horses and cattle. Jack Dalton, conspicuous among the other independent traders and commercial venturers for daring and initiative, cast his lot with the Lynn Canal entry route into the interior in 1893-94 when he established Dalton Post in Yukon Territory and commenced work on his Chilkat Pass Trail to the coast. Dalton, was a formidable, determined man. A conflict between the two traders—had one occurred—would have matched characters of comparable strength, while a combination might have sparked some lively enterprises. Each, however, found backers elsewhere for their schemes—Healy in Chicago and Dalton in Juneau from John Maloney and others. The two tough individuals must have had some meetings, but no records exist showing any commercial or personal dealings. Aside from trade interests the men had a shared experience as deputy marshals at Chilkat. Healy resigned the post in 1891 and Dalton was the officer in 1892-93. While Dalton was deputy he got into serious trouble. A brawl with a cannery storekeeper, who had been inciting Indians against Dalton's scheme of establishing an interior trading post, ended with Dalton's shooting the storekeeper. Dalton was acquitted of murder in Juneau, but angry citizens ordered him out of town and the prosecutor complained that defense attorney John Maloney had bribed jurors. Dalton recovered from this near-disaster to play major roles in many other important events in Alaska, including the gold rush and railroad THE DALTON TRAIL Visitors to the Yukon and Alaska are always interested in the history of the areas through which they travel. One of these is the route traversed by the Haines Highway, which follows to some extent “The Dalton Trail” of gold rush days - 159 miles from tidewater at Haines, Alaska, to Haines Junction. Mile 1016 on the Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory. From the Archives of the Alaska Historical Library and Museum at Juneau, the Northwest Mounted Police, and photo albums and documents of Henry Dow Banks of Springfield, Mass. on a journey over the Dalton Trail in 1898, a brief history of Jack Dalton and his famous trail has emerged. In 1898 the trail used early in the spring and late fall commenced from Haines Mission, and all freighting at that time could be done with wagons or carts to within three miles of the foot of Chilkat Summit. The road passed through the Indian village of Klukwan and up the Chilkat river about three miles to its junction with the Klahena river and continues to Dalton Post. Both rivers had to be crossed and re-crossed about forty times and as the wagons travelled only when the rivers were breaking up in the spring and just before they started to freeze up in the fall, nearly every crossing made was dangerous to man and beast. In the spring the edges of the rivers were solid masses of ice, and in the centre a swift running stream, necessitated the wagons dropping several feet or more from the ice to the river bottom, and constant quicksands were also prevalent. The poor condition of the trail induced Mr. Dalton to cut out and build a good trail for pack horses, from Pyramid Harbour to the top of the first summit a distance of about 60 miles. It was a trail which could be used from the time snow melted until very late in the fall. About ten miles from Pyramid Harbour, the trail cut off to the south and entered a range of mountains, keeping away from the Chilkat river until opposite Klukwan at the mouth of the Salmon river. The crossing there was deep but not swift accept on very warm days when the water rose rapidly. Two men were drowned there in 1898. The climb to Chilkat Summit, (not to be confused with the Chilkoot), was about 1700 feet of steep zig-zag trail, and was the only steep climb on the entire route. In general the road was free from rocks over firm sand, and easy on horses and cattle. All swamps or boggy places (and there were numerous) were corduroyed with small logs, and a good many substantial bridges built. The laying out of the trail showed very good judgment. there were few steep grades and wherever possible a gradual incline was followed even at the expense of circling instead of climbing over a hill. A toll of $2 per head was levied on all cattlemen going through, although having to pay the toll, gave Jack Dalton great credit for his trail job. Dalton employed an American surveyor and his staff during the month of July, 1898, to make a survey of the trail and map out the route. He also applied for a charter under the Oregon laws, which then applied to Alaska Territory. Boulder Creek is where he and other Americans claimed the international boundary to be, and it was where they ended the survey of the road. This creek is between eight and ten miles below the Dalton Trail Post. (A road to Dalton Post leaves the present Haines Highway about Mile 106. Nothing is left there now except a number of log cabins and a grave-yard.) There were a large number of people in and around Shorty Creek Mining District (a few miles west of Dezedeash Camp, Mile 125 on present Haines Highway), but no policy near that point to intercept liquor being brought through British Columbia into the Yukon Territory. Police detachment was therefore placed at Dalton House, at the Crossing of the Alsek river, and a barrack was erected there in August 1898. On Oct. 4th, 1898, a census of the inhabitants in and around Dalton House revealed a population of three white men and over one hundred Stick Indians. There are several lakes in the vicinity of Dalton House such as Klukshu, Dezedeash and the Kathleen lakes. Several families of Stick Indians were camped around these lakes. The trail from the first summit led on over a good hard road covered with reindeer moss to Rainy Hollow, about eleven miles from the Summit. At this place there is a slope of over one hundred acres covered with a grass similar to Wild Timothy. At Glacier Camp, twenty miles further on there were 26 glaciers in full view. The next stop was Bear Camp, 25 miles from Glacier. The trail was fairly good, crossing over a large area called “Mosquito Flats,” so named because of the ferocity of the insects infesting that sections. Bear Creek today is a small shallow stream emptying into the Alsek River used by the coast salmon coming up to spawn in the lakes. The trail crossed this creek to a point two miles further on, the first crossing of the Alsek river. It continued through timber up a rather steep hill to where the British Columbia line (60th parallel) separates the Yukon Territory; thence on over a good trail to the second crossing of the Alsek, where Dalton House was situated, fifteen miles from Bear Camp. Leaving Dalton House, the trail continued along a very steep hill for one mile from the detachment, then over a very good road to Klukshu Lake, a distance of twenty miles. Here another trail branched off to the left in the direction of Shorty Creek. (This trail is now followed by the Haines Highway along the west side of Dezedeash Lake.) The next camp was Pennock’s Post about thirty miles distant, then Camp Storey, eighteen miles. Pennock’s Post, Champagne Landing and Camp Storey were points where Lieut. Adair’s party built cabins for prospecting purposes. The old trail continued to Hutshi Lake, head of the Nordenskiold Lake. (The Alaska Highway crosses the old trail near the settlement of Champagne, Milepost 974). It then followed the Nordenskiold river to near Five Finger rapids and Rink Rapids of the Yukon River, a point 235 miles from Dawson City. The total length of the original Dalton Trail from Haines to the Yukon River was approximately 305 miles. The trail was used by a number of cattle drives. The cattle were shipped from Seattle, Washington or Vancouver, B.C. by ocean steamer, approximately 1000 miles, then driven over the Dalton trail to the Yukon river, and taken by scows down to Dawson City. It was also patronized by pack trains, and by individuals on horse back. Dalton kept a number of horses at each end of the trail. An old Dawson newspaper stated that: “The Barringtons of Stikine river fame had a small steamer called the “Willie Irving”, which operated from Dawson upstream to Rink Rapids, connecting there with transportation over the Dalton to Pyramid Harbour on Lynn Canal, 17 days Dawson to Seattle.” Dalton charged $150.00 for the trip from Rink to Haines including horse and maintenance, but the majority of the travellers elected to use the route to Skagway, Alaska. After completion of the White Pass railroad from Skagway to Whitehorse in 1900, the Dalton Trail gradually faded away. The area it traversed became again an untraveled wilderness, except for some continuing mining operations, until the construction of the Haines Highway by the U.S. Army in 1943, at an estimated cost of $10,000,000.00. Jack did have a circle of friends in Juneau. Probably the most influential, and a business associate for decades, was attorney John F. Maloney. The two men, often with other partners, established several businesses, usually with Dalton as operator and Maloney as part owner supplying management, legal, and accounting services. In order to keep expanding, Dalton typically would find someone that he trusted as manager, give him necessary start up supplies, then leave the manager to operate the business. Dalton and Maloney were notably successful in the Haines area. In 1894, Dalton, with Maloney's backing acquired land from the widow of George Dickinson, the first trader in the area. Dalton built a warehouse, a store, and later the Hotel Haines on the Dickinson tract. Dalton continued his freighting business leaving hotel management to Jack Lindsay and later Charley Hackett. In the summer of 1894 Dalton and Joe Kinnon, on speculation, assembled mining equipment and supplies to sell in the thriving Forty-Mile placer camp in Alaska. The men found a buyer long before reaching the Forty-Mile; the entire outfit was sold at the Pelly River. Kinnon elected to return to Haines; Dalton decided to visit interior placer camps in Alaska and return via the lower Yukon. He visited Forty-Mile and Circle then continued down the Yukon to St. Michael where he expected to gain passage to Seattle on the Revenue Cutter Bear. The vessel's legendary Captain, Michael Healy, recognized Jack from his illegal fur seal operation back in the mid-1880 and refused him passage. By January 1895, however, Jack was in Seattle where he acquired fourteen more horses for his freighting business. Operations on the Dalton Trail were formalized when Dalton and Maloney signed articles of partnership under the name of J. Dalton and Company on March 9, 1895. They also set up the Dalton Trail Company (active from 1895-1903), at Pyramid Harbor, the Dalton Trading and Transportation Company, and, in 1898, the Dalton Pony Express Company. The first recorded herd of cattle was driven over the trail in 1896, when the Willis Thorpe party drove 40 steers, each with a pack load, to Carmacks from there they were rafted to Dawson. With the discovery of the Klondike, the trail became very busy in 1897. In June 1897, Dalton delivered forty oxen, two milk cows, and sixty white-face Herefords, of which forty head belonged to the North American Trading and Transportation Company, and the rest belonged to Dalton. On the trip north, only one animal died; the rest were delivered in good shape to Fort Selkirk on the Yukon. In the same year Dalton advertised pack horse and saddle horse service from the coast to Fort Selkirk in ten days; the trip from Selkirk to Dawson by steamboat added one more day to the trip to the gold fields. Dalton had the part of the trail in United States Territory surveyed in June 1898 from Pyramid Harbor to the approximate Canadian boundary which was marked by a post as the Dalton Trail International Boundary Line. The surveyors noted some bridges and trail improvements, but otherwise the trail followed the stream beds. Dalton received U.S. government approval for charging a toll with the stipulation that the Chilkat people need not pay. Canadian historian Robert Coutts summarized Dalton's venture: "The only man to control a major transportation route into the Yukon and Klondike, Dalton ran pack trains and delivered livestock to the miners, he allowed others to use his trail on payment of a toll and backed his authority with his reputation and a gun. One group that refused to pay was accompanied for the whole journey by Dalton who kept them well away from his route . . . They lost most of their stock. No one else tried to travel without paying." The year 1898, when thousands of head of cattle were delivered to Yukon destinations, was the peak year of the trail. The use of the trail as a major transportation route was doomed with the completion of the White Pass railway to the summit in February 1899 and to Dawson in 1900. The trail, however, continued to be used for several years, especially for livestock. The last recorded use of the trail was in 1906 when Dalton, E.B. Hanley and six cowboys drove 200 head of cattle to Ft. Selkirk. Dalton had an inventive streak; he made improvements to the sleds used for commercial freighting, working with the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company. By 1897, the improved sleds were widely advertised along the Pacific Coast, as in the Weekly Examiner in Dawson: "The Studebaker Jack Dalton bobsled built to stand the rough hard usage over the almost impassable Alaska trails. Perhaps because he was so tough, Jack was continually challenged. As the Klondike traffic increased, a notorious tough proposed to build a bar near a Dalton business. He told Jack that his proposed drinking establishment was legal and there was nothing that Dalton could do about it. Jack beat the man so badly with his fists that the tough decided to take his business plan elsewhere. In the winter of 1896, Jack and one 'Stick Indian' packer snowshoed to Dawson Post, caching supplies for the return trip along the way. The caches were necessary as men on foot could not carry enough food and supplies to survive. Some of Dalton's enemies among the Chilkats followed the men and removed all the caches. Dalton had anticipated this and had made a secret cache. He still had to make a fifty-mile snowshoe run to find the cache, but on his return to the Haines area, Dalton casually remarked that he was a bit hungry because he could not find his caches. He accused no one and did not reveal the location of the secret cache for years. One Chilkat chief known as Cutewait or 'Indian Jim' shot Dalton but only nicked a finger. In 1898, Jack commenced an important surveying job for Bratnober and Onderdonk related to the London Exploration Company, then active in Juneau. Bratnober's aim was a railway into the interior. Dalton found a good route that followed the present Haines Cutoff and Alaska Highway, which may have been superior to routes adopted latter. However, Bratnober could not find sufficient ore to justify the project and the venture died. In 1898, prospectors Mix Silva, Edward Findley and Perry Wiley, grubstaked for Dalton, discovered placer gold on Porcupine Creek north of Haines near the Dalton trail. Subsequently, the Porcupine mining district was organized on October 22, 1898. On November 5, 1898, Dalton and his three prospectors located the Discovery Claim; additional claims were located by Dalton and his business partners E. B. Hanley and John Maloney. The district was stampeded in 1899 and prospectors found gold in the nearby creeks and gold or copper in areas as much as sixty miles distant, including the Rainy Hollow district in Canada. The first-years gold production was reportedly worth $50,000, of which about $40,000 came from Dalton's Discovery Claim. The deposits in the district were rich but fairly deep and needed complex infrastructure. Miles of ditches and flumes were built to supply water to hydraulic lifts, sometimes called gravel elevators, where miners recovered the gold. Commercial support to the new district was conveniently supplied by the Porcupine Trading Company which was organized by Dalton, Hanley, and Maloney on August 1, 1899. The company brought in mining equipment and extended liberal credit to other miners. In 1900, Dalton and party shipped in 300 tons of equipment and supplies. The mines operated profitably until about 1905 when a major flood washed out a considerable amount of the mining infrastructure. Recognizing that they had probably extracted most of easily won gold, Dalton, Hanley, and Maloney sold their interests, profitably, in 1907. The discovery of rich copper deposits in the Wrangell Mountains in 1900 led to a major move for Dalton and his operations. In 1901 Michael J. Heney, the legendary rail builder of the north, undertook a reconnaissance survey for a railway from the south Alaska coast to the interior. He found a rough but usable route up the Copper River, beginning near modern Cordova. Heney, however, knew of nothing rich enough to justify the construction of a railroad which would need three major river crossings and butts against two advancing glaciers. In 1905, Heney was at the London office of Close Brothers, a major financial house. The financiers had quite good information about the richness of the Wrangell copper deposits and promised to finance the road if it was feasible to build. Heney thought of his earlier survey and immediately wired his New York office to engage Dalton and Sam Murchison to reexamine the Copper River route. The route was particularly controversial as engineers for rival routes starting from Valdez and Katalla had stated that the Copper River route was impossible. Furthermore, Stephen Birch of the newly constituted Alaska Syndicate had already begun construction from Katalla. In September 1905, Dalton, Murchison, and surveyor J. R. McPherson undertook a new evaluation of the Copper River route and pronounced it feasible. The men returned to Valdez in late October of 1905 and sent their conclusions to Heney via a coded telegram. Heney met Dalton and Murchison in Juneau and filed a right-of-way application with the General Land Office. The Copper River route had no competition and was approved. Heney and Murchison went to Seattle to purchase supplies and equipment for the railroad. Dalton, McPherson, chainmen, and several of Dalton's Chilkat natives from Haines immediately began the detailed survery. Secretly they bought an abandoned cannery in Cordova for the south terminus of the railway line. Construction on the line began in the winter of 1905-06. It soon was apparent that Close Brothers could not finance the line but the Katalla-based route initially favored by Birch and the Alaska Syndicate proved impossible, and the Syndicate bought Heney's group out and proceeded to construct the line which was completed to the mines in 1911. Dalton and Cordova prospered in the construction years of the C. R. & NW Railway. Steel, gravel and other construction material had to be delivered timely to the 3,000 men working on the roadway and bridges. In 1907, after the sale of the Porcupine gold claims, Dalton moved his operations to Cordova and set up sawmills, trading and transportation companies that largely duplicated those that he had operated out of Pyramid Harbor and Haines. Dalton's later ties to the Copper River project are clouded by controversy. He staked three lode claims which, in part, underlay the Cordova terminus of the railway and docking facilities. In 1911, a court held that Dalton's claims were valid, but granted right-of-way to the Copper River and Northwestern Railway Dalton's later work also extended westerly into the Cook Inlet area. The U.S. Navy had searched the west coast for steaming coal with little success. In the summer of 1913, Dr. Holmes, chief of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and George Evans, a mining engineer consultant to the Navy went to the abandoned Watson Mine near Chickaloon at the east limit of the Matanuska coal field, Cook Inlet region. Dalton provided guide service and transported Holmes, Evans, their helpers, equipment and sampling gear to the site where Holmes and Evans concluded that a sufficient amount of coal could be mined from the Watson workings for the naval testÑ900 tons. Dalton took Holmes back to the coast and signed a cost-plus contract to deliver the large sample to a site near Knik, Alaska, where the coal could be loaded in boats. The haul distance from Chickaloon to the coast was only about seventy-five miles but there were no roads to follow. Dalton went to Seattle to hire workers, buy supplies and equipment, and charter a steamboat since there were none available in wintertime on Cook Inlet and Dalton had concluded that the sample should be sledded out in the winter. He purchased 500 tons of bob sleds, harness, forage, tents and other supplies. Dalton hired nine men in Seattle and about twenty-five more as the expedition passed through Ketchikan, Juneau, and Cordova on the voyage north. The party offloaded at Knik, where he hired every available man and horse, on November 17, 1913. Sample bags were no small part of the off-loaded freight. Each sample bag, 800 in total, would be loaded with somewhat more than a ton of coal (nominally 1.125 tons). Dalton commenced work immediately. To expedite road construction, Dalton took a small party with supplies to Chickaloon and began to work back toward Knik. A hired teamster and most of the crew and supplies began to work easterly from Knik. By the end of December, 1913, the last batch of forage and supplies had been cached along the route. January of 1914 was devoted to sampling the coal and road construction. By February 21st, 1914, Dalton's horse-drawn No. 5 Bob Sleds delivered 100 tons of coal every three days to the coast, and all 900 tons of coal were at tidewater by March 4. The crews had constructed about forty-three miles of road and numerous bridges. Beside physical difficulties, Dalton's task was made difficult by bureaucratic interference. An auditor appointed by the Navy, a Mr. Swift, would not approve expenditures for wages and for supplies at Knik. Swift was appalled at Dalton's expenditures and operation. Dalton dispensed with Swift, who wasn't overly quick with his fists, and paid wages and bought supplies out of his pocket. Knik businessmen interceded on Dalton's behalf with the Bureau of Mines and Navy. At the final analysis, Dalton completed the job for $63,000, a job that the Navy had estimated would cost more than $80,000. Chickaloon coal passed all steaming tests on the battleship U.S.S. Maryland. Coaling facilities were built and a narrow gauge railroad was constructed at Chickaloon. Some 8,000 tons were mined, but the coal was badly faulted and folded and proved too expensive for the operation. Most of Dalton's trail work, however, was not wasted. The coal twenty-miles to the west at Eska and Wishbone Hill proved satisfactory in quality and existed in mineable quantities. A spur rail line from the Alaska Railroad to the mines at Eska and Jonesville on Dalton's route operated successfully until 1970 supplying coal to Anchorage, the railway, and to Anchorage military bases. When the Chickaloon contract was completed, Jack returned to his work as chief freighter for the Alaska Engineering Commission, then beginning work on the construction of the Alaska Railroad. Dalton also maintained his operations at Cordova until about 1915 when the Alaska Syndicate, forerunner of Kennecott Copper Corporation purchased all his Cordova interests included his fine home on Three Tree Point, which became the Kennecott manager's home. Dalton was out of Cordova by December 1916 as partner E. B. Hanley's wife Elizabeth wrote to attorney John Malony in Juneau: "Dalton sold out at Cordova and is now a Capitalist. Jack feels pretty big." Dalton, earlier described as a ladies man, married twice. The first marriage, during the Porcupine boom at Haines, ended in divorce, after the birth of Jack Jr. and Margaret to the couple. In 1911, Jack married Anna Krippeahne in Cordova, and Anna bore two children, James in 1913 and Josephine in 1916 about the time the Daltons left Alaska for the Seattle area. At least three of the children from the two marriages were notably successful. Jack Jr., from the first marriage, was a long-time General Motors executive. Josephine married U. S. Grant, a descendant of the Civil War general and president of the United States and became a well-known citizen of San Francisco, where Anna died in 1929. Dalton's second son, James W. Dalton, followed his father's career and earned his own Alaska fame. Jim returned to Alaska in the 1930s and earned an engineering degree from the University of Alaska in 1937. During World War II, young Dalton first worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in Fairbanks. James served with the Naval Construction Battalion (SeaBees) at Dutch Harbor and other locations in the Pacific theater of war. After the war (1946-1953), Dalton worked with the quasi-government Arctic Contractors on exploration of oil reserves held in trust for the U.S. Navy, then called Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, on Alaska's North Slope. James Dalton married Kathleen (Mike) Fitzpatrick in 1950 in Barrow. The Dalton's had two children, George and Elizabeth (Libby). James Dalton had a fatal heart attack on May 8 1957 in Fairbanks. The North Slope haul road from the Yukon River to Pt. Barrow was named the Dalton Highway in Jame's honor. James Dalton's widow continues to live in Fairbanks, where she is a well-known civic figure. Jack Dalton himself lived a long life. His adventures continued after he left Alaska, as he prospected for diamonds in British Guiana in the early 1920s. In 1929, Jack's long time physician and friend Dr. F. B. Whiting wrote, paraphrased, that Jack although about 75, looked 55, and if attacked, the attackers would think that he was 25. Jack Dalton died in San Francisco on December 16, 1944 at the age of eighty-nine. In 1942, the U.S. Army reopened the Haines Cutoff part of the 'Dalton Trail' and completed it as part of Alaska-Canada (Alcan) Highway system, originally built as part of the U.S. Lend Lease Program. Cattle Drives to the Yukon You think of the great cattle drives of the pioneer west, you think of the famous Chisholm Trail in the United States, or the big cattle ranches of Alberta. For a brief time, the Yukon had its own cattle drives as challenging as anything experienced in the Wild West. The first cattle drive in the Yukon took place over the Dalton Trail, in 1896, before the Klondike gold rush. Willis Thorp, a merchant from Juneau, took a herd of forty cattle over the trail, headed for Forty Mile, the trading centre for the Forty-mile and Sixty-mile mining areas. They took the cattle through two hundred and fifty miles of wild country to the Yukon River, and continued along the west side to a point below the Rink Rapids where they were loaded onto rafts to be floated downriver. at the mouth of the Klondike River they came upon the scene of frenzied activity at the newly discovered gold field, so it is not known how much of the herd ever made it to Forty Mile. It was a big treat for the miners, used to living on a monotonous diet of bacon, beans and biscuits, to have fresh beef. Some of this beef made its way into Alaska, where it was reported that: “The first beefsteak that ever reached Circle City sold for $48 per pound a few weeks ago. The steaks consisted of a ten-pound piece of beef slaughtered at Forty-Mile Creek, packed and shipped two hundred and fifty miles to Circle City by Thomas O’Brien. When O’Brien reached camp, the miners turned out in a body to see the steak. It was placed on exhibition and attracted as much attention as an eight-legged calf…”A price of $48 for beef got the attention of the ranchers on the prairies, where beef was selling for three cents a pound. Prairie ranchers started having dreams that would make Midas blush. For the next few years, cattle from as far away as Oregon, Manitoba and Saskatchewan were transported to the Seattle or Vancouver by train, loaded onto boats and shipped north to Haines and Skagway on the Alaskan coast, then overland to where they could be loaded, dead or alive, onto rafts for the journey down the Yukon to Dawson City. The distances traveled were greater than those over the Chisholm Trail, through unfamiliar terrain. The risk was high for the cattlemen. They could get lost; or they could starve, and a skinny cow didn’t bring much profit in Dawson City. Along the trail, the livestock was victim to predators and disease, swamps and ever-present mosquitoes. The weather could be hostile, and the seasons worked against them. Woe to the cattleman who started his herd over the trail too late in the season! On the Dalton Trail, before reaching Canada, the cattle drivers had to pay a toll to Jack Dalton’s men: $2.50 per cow, 50 cents for goats, sheep and swine. There were plenty of herders who paid the toll. During the summers of ’97 and 98, thousands of cattle, horses and sheep came in over the famed Trail. Each herder came north with dreams of making a big profit in Dawson City, but it was hit and miss. Three herds driven over the Dalton trail late in the summer of 1898 found that out. When they arrived at the Yukon, the cattle were slaughtered and rafted down stream.. Both the slaughtering and he raft building were time consuming and labour intensive. With winter closing in, it was a race against time. One herd was butchered and shipped when the weather was too warm: most of the meat spoiled on the voyage downriver. The next herd, belonging to Pat Burns of Calgary, and headed by cattleman Bill Henry, arrived at the Yukon shortly after. The nine men set about constructing corrals, building rafts seventy two feet by thirty feet, and slaughtering 180 steers, each weighing sixteen hundred pounds. As the cool October weather enveloped the herders, the carcasses froze to prevent spoilage. In a race against time, they steered their ungainly rafts downriver and arrived safely before freeze-up. The North West Mounted Police purchased 75,000 pounds of the meat at seventy five cents a pound, while the remainder sold at a dollar a pound, yielding a small fortune for the summer’s labour. Another herd, traveling a few days behind Bill Henry weren’t so fortunate; the river froze before they could bring them downstream. Even the waste left behind proved to be a valuable commodity. At Yukon Crossing, three mushers passing along the trail saw an opportunity, and spent the winter serving up the offal from the butchered animals to passing teams for dog feed, and made a dollar a pound for their effort. Other herds were driven over the White Pass and floated downriver, but they had to brave the treacherous waters of the various rapids along the way and the tempestuous waters of Lake LeBerge. One herd was brought up over the Telegraph trail, a route championed as the “All-Canadian” route, and arrived at Teslin Lake with two hundred head, worn out and thin from the rigours of the trail. They slaughtered and butchered the meat on the shore of the Lake, and by mid October, set their rafts out onto the calm waters for Dawson City. The calm did not hold, and the rafts were dashed upon the rocky shore and the meat was lost. The completion of the White Pass Railway put a swift end to the era of cattle drives into the Yukon. A few years later, in 1906, the newspapers heralded Jack Dalton’s final cattle drive over his trail, two hundred head of animals that passed through Dawson City on their way to Fairbanks Alaska. A BRIEF SUMMARY OF JACK DALTON’S CAREER 1855 - Jack Dalton was born in the Cherokee Strip, probably in the present state of Kansas. 1874 - He worked as a logger at Burns, Oregon. 1882 -Spent some time as a cowboy on the Hadley Ranch in Baker, Oregon. Left to avoid prosecution for “shooting scrapes”. 1883 - Went to San Francisco and shipped out as a seaman on a sealing vessel which wintered at Herschel Island, at the mouth of the Mackenzie River. 1885 - He was hired at Sitka by Fredrick Schwatka to accompany the New York Times expedition to Mt. St. Elias. In the 1890s, John "Jack" Dalton became convinced that there was an easier way through the coastal mountains than the Chilkoot Pass. His idea was to follow another Chilkat trade route which began at Chilkat Inlet near Haines. Dalton bargained with the Chilkats to use their trail. The following year he used this route to take pack horses up to the Yukon River headwaters. Dalton bridged swamps and streams to make the trail passable for pack trains. Cattle were driven over the trail, too. They provided meat for miners at Fortymile and other mining camps in Interior Alaska. Dalton charged a toll of two dollars a head for cows, and two dollars and fifty cents for horses. 1891 - Was engaged for a private exploration of the Chilkat Pass by E.J. Glace, a writer for Century Magazine. 1892 - It is believed that he operated a small trading vessel in the Juneau area. 1893 - Was tried and acquitted for the shooting of Jack McGinnis, a cannery worker. 1894 - Leased a parcel of land and a warehouse at Haines Mission for the purpose of conducting a trading business with the Indians. 1896 - Established a trading route from Pyramid Harbour to the Yukon River near Rink Rapids, which included Pleasant Camp and Dalton Post. 1897 - Was hired by Goodall, Perkins & Co. to drive their cattle to the interior. 1898 - Guided parties over his Dalton trail. 1899 - Mining activity commenced at Porcupine Creek and continued until a flood in 1906 destroyed the flumes. 1903 - He built the Lindsay Hotel at Porcupine. Gold output on Porcupine Creek reached about $150,000 per year. 1905 - Made a financial settlement with Guggenheim interests in the Cordova Bay region for the construction of a copper ore loading terminal on his land. The amount paid was rumored to be upwards of $10,000. 1919 - Sold his Haines Hotel property to Steve Sheldon. 1921 - Went to the diamond diggings in British Guyana to investigate the interest of a group of Yakima, Washington business men. 1922 - Took up residence in Yakima, Washington. 1944 - Jack Dalton reached the end of the trail in San Francisco at the age of 89. In 1899, Dalton received official permission from the U.S. Government to charge a toll for the use of his trail: During the winter of 1913-1914, an Alaskan freighter named Jack Dalton used the frozen Matanuska River to haul the first test coal from the Chickaloon coal deposits. Dalton’s cattle near Montague. Jack Dalton established a trail from the Pacific Coast to the interior, which followed a Coastal Tlingit trade route. It was the only gold rush trail suitable for transporting livestock. Daltons Cache Trading Post The Dalton Cache is a pre-Klondike Gold Rush outpost built around 1895 by Jack Dalton for storing trading goods before transport over Chilkat Pass into the Yukon Territory. When the Klondike Gold Rush hit in 1897-98, the cache became a stopping place for miners streaming toward Dawson. Though partially restored, it is not open to the public today. Jack Dalton and Ed Hanley’s Porcupine Trading Company operated a general store and a stage line. The town also had four saloons and a mining recorder’s office. A post office opened in 1901. A small part of the gold rush did come to Haines up the Porcupine creek. A small claim yielding about $1.5 million was discovered and exploited by a guy named Jack Dalton. Dalton, in fact, seemed to be into everything; store, bar, gold mine, toll roads. You name it, it had something to do with Dalton. The Porcupine: The Porcupine district was developed as an incident to the Klondike stampede and was reached by the Dalton Trail. It was 32 miles from Pyramid Harbor, Chilkat Inlet, where the Dalton Trail commenced to the gold field on Porcupine Creek discovered by S.W. Mix and his partners in October 1898. Some 50 miners staked claims, but winter forced a delay until spring when about 1,000 stampeders headed for the Porcupine. Reaching the new mining region was relatively easy, particularly as the Jack Dalton Transportation Company was available to freight in goods. Dalton charged four cents a pound on freight from the coast to the diggings. Dalton laid out the townsite of Porcupine and built a store. Other entrepreneurs established businesses, and the town's population over the 1899-1903 era was about 200. Things slowed down in 1903, and both the recorder and U.S. Commissioner offices were abolished. The easily mined gold had been taken by 1903—an estimated $460,000, and further development awaited investment in hydraulic mining. A flood in 1905 destroyed a large flume and closed mining for a couple of years until construction of a Haines-Pleasant Camp road and other improvements encouraged further investment. Mining continued until 1918 when another flood closed mines for several years. Revivals in the late 1920s and '30s were short-lived. Production from 1930-60 has been very modest, but the revival of steady small-scale production in the 1970s gave production of 3,500 ounces up to 1988. Jack Dalton's will: Filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, in and for Yakima County, was closed on October 22, 1945. John (Jack) Dalton of Yakima, Washington died on December 16, 1944, at San Francisco, California. He was last at the home of his daughter Josephine Dalton Grant. A funeral for Jack was conducted in San Francisco. His remains were then transported to Calvary Cemetery in Seattle, Washington to be buried with his second wife Anna K. Krippuehne: “to be buried as my daughter Josephine Dalton Grant, shall direct.” Jack’s Last Will and Testament was made and notarized in Seaside, Oregon; the signature date was January 19, 1943. The Will of John Dalton was admitted to probate in Yakima, Washington by his appointed executor Robert J. Willis, on January 23, 1945, per Letters Testamentary. Public notices were published in the Yakima Daily Republic Newspaper. Estate expenses included services by appointed executor Robert J. Willis and that of an attorney hired to perform legal services. Property and estate of decedent appraised at $11, 670.00 on February 6, 1945. Expressed in 2009 US Dollars this amount would be: 11.81 inflation factor x 11,670 or $137,822.70.

Ontario Cemetery Inscriptions Listings of Daltons were abstracted from several websites. Details are sorted by place, cemetery, and plot. Any tombstone dates in years, months and days have been changed to calendar dates. It is not unusual for family members to be buried in more than one plot or cemetery, nor is it unusual for a spouse to be buried with her family. It is the onus of the researcher to verify accuracy of any cemetery inscriptions to other known genealogical information about the decedent. Not all cemeteries in Ontario have made their records available to the public, nor all have been surveyed, nor have online databases or photo galleries, yet. A large index of Dalton burial locations can be found at: Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid website: islandnet.com/ocfa ONTARIO CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS Name Born Died Relationship Remarks ST.

Tuite-Dalton family of County Cavan, Ireland Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton From a suggestion from Karen Dalton Preston, North American Sec. of the DGS. With input by Philip Tuite Dalton, London, England Revised November, 2009 At the time of the Norman Invasion of Ireland, Henry II granted to Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster, the lands of Ó Maoilsheachlainn, king of Meath in return for the service of 50 Knights. As one of de Lacy's barons Risteárd de Tiúit received large grants in Westmeath and Longford. His descendants became the barons of Moyashell, in Westmeath. De Lacy conferred on the Tuite family the castle of O'Casey (Irish Ó Cathasaigh), chief of Saithne, now "Sonnagh," in Westmeath. The Norman family of Tuite is given as barons of Moyashel after the 12th century. The Norman family of Dalton were Lords of Rathconrath following the 12th century. In Ireland, the Tuites and Daltons maintained property rights in the union of Tuite-Dalton. It is said that a Edward Dalton, born c. 1746, married Frances Tuite and thus hereafter took the name. In the village of Empor, or Impeii, is a castle, of small dimensions, which commands fine views of the windings of the river Inny, and over a wide extent of the counties of Westmeath and Longford. This castle was built by the Daltons, but passed, many ages back, into the possession of the Tuite family, of Sonnagh, who are the present owners.

Philip Tuite-Dalton, living Notes of interest: Of the three children Gustavus remained in Ireland and had 17 children in all. He was a man of letters, newspaper writer, a Major in the Cavan Militia and a private secretary to a Minister. In 1857 he became Agent for the Headfort Estate looking after his stepfather's lands. He moved from Kilnahard House to Kells in 1858/59 and then to Baileborough by 186. His Brother Edward went out to India, first in the East India Company then later in the Bengal Lancers and was Governor of Chata Nagpur at the time of the Indian Mutiny. His book Ethnicity of Bengal has recently been republished. Daltonganj in India was named after him (ganj means valley) His Sister Adelaide married John Young who later became Lord Lisgar. John's Family home was Baileborough castle in Cavan. John became Governor of New South Wales and Governor of Canada and was knighted Lord Lisgar. In 1850-ish Gustavus moved to Baileborough to look after the Young estate whilst he was in Australia and Canada. When John Young died she remarried Sir Francis Charles Foertescue Turville of Boswell Hall. She had no children. Notes on Gustavus George Tuite-Dalton, born 4-3-1811, died 1878. Matriculated 16th June 1829 Trinity College Dublin aged 18 and Balliol College, Oxford. Wrote a large number of letters to the Times regarding the Irish. Grew up at Headfort and Regents Park. Managed the Headfort estate and later the Baileborough Estate for the Youngs. Have family letters to John Young and a journal. Also have a portrait of him as a young man painted in the style of Lawrence. Family tradition has it that it is a Lawrence but both Christies and Sotheby's say the detail is not fine enough. Notes on General Edward Tuite Dalton, born 1815, died 1880, India. Edward Tuite DALTON, 1815 - 1880, wrote “The Descriptive Ethnology Of Bengal 1872” - “Tribal history of eastern India” One of the first things that happened in Anthropology in India was the setting up of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1774 by Sir William Jones. Under this organization, a number of anthropological works were conducted and many were printed in the journal of the Society. It is said by many that such work did not constitute an anthropology since they were written by British administrators and missionaries rather than ‘true’ anthropologists. However, many were well trained and their works are still studied, albeit as matters of historical interest, in Indian universities. They included famous names like L. S. O’Malley, E. Thurston, Edward Tuite Dalton. Colonel Edward Tuite Dalton regards them as the descendants of some of the earliest Aryan Colonists - a brown tawny coloured people, of an average height, well proportioned and with [fair] amount of good looks. They show well-shaped heads and high features and except when they have obviously intermixed with aborigines, they are unquestionable Aryans in looks. Grey eyes and brownish hair are sometimes met with amongst them. The women usually have small and well formed hands and feet. Obit Times January 1881: Edward (b. 1815 - d. 30/12/80) Educated at Harrow. Was in Assam in 1840s and rose to be a General in the Bengal Lancers. Wrote and compiled a book on ethnicity of Bengal Tribes. Not married. Died "strolling". Have an account of saving a missionary in Tibet. A railway station in India was named after him "Daltonganj". The Obituary: General Edward Tuite Dalton, C.S.I. General E.T. Dalton, C.S.I. – The death is announced of Major-General Edward Tuite Dalton, C.S.I., who entered the army in 1835, and took part in expeditions against the frontier tribes of Assam in 1839-40 and in 1842. When two French missionaries, M.M. Kirk and Bourry, had been murdered on the Tibetan frontier by a Mishmi chief, General Dalton received much praise for his skill in organizing the expedition which captured the murderer. Our associate died at Cannes, on December 30th, In the sixty-fifth year of his age. The above newspaper article from the Irish Times reads: 30/06/1913 son Tuite- Dalton Lt. E. Tuite-Dalton, 2/3 Gurkha Rifles & wife India Kasaultanjab, India at Kasaultanjab, India Notes on Adelaida Annabal Tuite-Dalton, born 1819, died 1895. Married John Young of Baileborough Castle Co Cavan in 1835 and Sir Francis Charles Fortescue Turville of Boswell Hall Leics in 1878. No issue. Oil portrait by George Hayter 1835 Notes on Reginald Tuite-Dalton, born 1850, Kilahard, Ireland. Lieutenant Reginald Tuite-Dalton -10th Hussars: Inspired by the recent sidney7 thread - the 10th Hussar sword and attributed to 'Viscount Campden', Charles William Francis NOEL (1850-1926) I have in my collection the single Afghanistan medal to his fellow mess-mate Lieutenant Reginald Tuite- Dalton also of the 10th Hussars. After delving into Lieutemant. Dalton’s records at the PRO, it would appear that there is not a lot on him. Andy66 has kindly chipped in with help via PM's, and since, I am able to add more vital information about the man. Now I'm stuck again and need some help on his family background. Reginald Tuite-Dalton was born in Cavan, Ireland on the 29th April 1850. At the age of 23, in June 1873, he would enlist to the 10th Hussars. Listed as Gentleman, he was accepted to Sandhurst Officers College, where after a short period of cadet training, he was gazette to be Sub–Lieutenant, in succession to Lieutenant W. H. Watkins. On 16th July 1973 he would be appointed to the 10th Hussars, whereupon he would join his regiment in Muttra in the East Indies. Appointed by purchase to Lieutenant, on 16th July 1874, he was later appointment to “Probationer for the Indian Staff Corps,” gazette date 24th November 1877. When hostilities broke out in Afghanistan in 1878 a Squadron of the 10th Royal was the first troops into the country and were actively engaged in the campaign that followed. As well as the enemy, the regiment had to contend with the extreme temperatures of the region as well as an outbreak of cholera. According to Shadbolt, Lieutenant Dalton joined the detached squadron of the regiment in the Kuram Valley in the January of 1879 where he would serve with them until to the March 1879. The London Gazette May 16, 1879 shows he resigned his commission 17 May 1879, and retired from service shortly after the close of the regiment’s involvement in the Afghanistan and its subsequent return back to India. Notes on Edward Tuite-Dalton, born 1783. Edward (b.1783) of Fennar, County Meath, Ireland, was a literary gentleman and poet who bought a share of the Crow Street theatre in May 1808 . He married Olivia Stevenson the daughter of his Trinity College Music Master, John Stevenson in March 1810. When he died Olivia remarried Thomas Taylour in 1822 who became Marquis of Headfort. It was a grand wedding in St Georges Church Hannover Square, in London. Edward's (b1783) three children were bought up at Headfort house in Meath and their London Home in Cumbe.

St. Columba's Church stands on one of the most important Church sites in Co. Meath. According to the 'Book of Lismore', King Diarmait or Dermot, High King of Ireland granted to Columba the Dun or Fort of Kells to establish a Religious Community. The 'Annals of Ulster' for the year 804CE show that the Columban community on the island of Iona transferred to Kells which then became the principal Irish Columban monastery. In 918, the monastery was plundered and the Church destroyed. In 1117, the Abbot and Community were killed in a raid by Aedh Ua Ruairc. Following the Synod of Kells in 1152, Kells was granted Diocesan status and the old Church was elevated to the status of a Cathedral for the Diocese. In the early 13th. century the Diocese of Kells was absorbed into the newly created Diocese of Meath. Following the Reformation the Parish Church was in ruins. It was rebuilt in 1578 on the instructions of Hugh Brady, Bishop of Meath, the Archdeacon of Meath, who also held the position of Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Sir Thomas Garvie also assisted in the task of rebuilding the Church, as did Nicholas Daly, Sovereign of the Corporation of Kells. The only remaining portion of the mediaeval Church still standing, is the bell tower. From surviving records we know that the old Church was a large cruciform structure with a chancel and tower. The present Church was built in 1778. The spire on the bell tower was erected by Thomas, 1st Earl of Bective, in 1783. It was designed by Thomas Cooley and the stone-cutter employed was John Walsh. The Graveyard gate piers were also built for the Earl of Bective in 1783. The Church was altered in 1811, and again, in 1858, when the interior was re-ordered. In more recent times the Church roof was restored in 1965 and the interior re-decorated. Also, in 1965, the old disused Gallery was converted to exhibition space and display panels, recording the history of the monastic site, were erected. PLAQUE FROM FORMER LECTERN: "The Bible and Brass Lectern in this Church are a memorial to Major Gustavus Tuite Dalton who died 20th January 1879, and are the gift of his family." Reginald Tuite-Dalton, son of Gustavus Tuite-Dalton, was born in Cavan, Ireland on the 29th April 1850. At the age of 23, in June 1873, he would enlist to the 10th Hussars.
