101. Rocky Road: Adam Sedgwick
     Offers a brief biography and a suggested reading list for more information.  
     http://www.strangescience.net/sedgwick.htm
     
     Extractions: In his 1860 book Life on the Earth , the geologist John Phillips remarked What Phillips tactfully avoided stating was that he, like all other British geologists, had to tread carefully since these "first of all men" now hated each other. But he was right in praising their achievements. For the first 80 to 90 percent of the earth's history, there is no rich record of fossil life, though some fossils have been found. The really good fossils start to show up in a geologic time period known as the Cambrian, and Cambridge Woodwardian Professor Adam Sedgwick originally named this period. Twentieth-century research has uncovered so many excellent fossils in Cambrian sediments, especially the Burgess Shale in Canada, that this geologic period is sometimes referred to as the "Cambrian Explosion." It's to Sedgwick's credit that he recognized and named the Cambrian almost a century before paleontologists found the best fossils. For much of his life, Sedgwick was regarded as a plain-spoken, respected gentlemanly geologist who could hold an audience spellbound. At other times, he was regarded as quite the opposite. Sedgwick helped a fellow geologist, Roderick Impey Murchison, identify the geologic time period known as the Devonian. Murchison and Sedgwick were good friends for years, but their priority dispute ended the friendship for good. While Sedgwick claimed certain rock strata for the Cambrian, Murchison claimed the same rocks for a period he named, the Silurian. In 1879, geologist Charles Lapworth settled the dispute by assigning the older rocks to the Cambrian, the newer rocks to the Silurian, and carving out a new period in between: the Ordovician.

     http://www.stainblue.com/quanahparker.html
     
     Extractions: Quanah Parker, born ca. 1845 in Oklahoma, was chief of the Quahadi Comanches, the last band to surrender in the South Plains war of 1874-1875. His father Peta Nocona was a revered war chief of the Nocone Comanches. His mother Cynthia was a white woman who as a child had been captured by the Comanches on May 19, 1836, at Fort Parker, in Limestone County, Texas. Parker was influential in the spread of Christian peyotism among the Plains Indians. He was the first to integrate highly ritualized Christian elements with the Indians' traditional use of peyote, and insisted that women not be excluded from such ceremonies. The town of Quanah, Texas settled in 1884 and named for Quanah Parker is the seat of Hardeman County, in North Texas. Today, bona fide religious use of peyote by such organizations as the Native American Church continues and is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as well as several sections of the Arizona Constitution pursuant to Arizona State Judge Yale McFate's July 26, 1960 ruling. States permitting the religious use of peyote include Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Minnesota and Nevada, among others. Above : Peyote ( Lophophora williamsii
