Book excerpt: The Nathaniel Crosby III collection is comprised of a journal covering Crosby's voyage from Hong Kong to San Francisco in the summer of 1857 on the Chilean vessel, Mercedes. The collection also contains documents and newspaper articles regarding the Crosby family housed in Folder 1. In December of 1856, Nathaniel Crosby III's father died in Hong Kong, and so he and his mother sailed there the following year. His journal in Folder 2 chronicles their voyage home from Hong Kong to San Francisco, and includes an inventory of items--including articles of clothing--and their monetary value. According to the daily entries, the Mercedes left Hong Kong on 7 July 1857 and arrived in San Francisco on 27 August. The entries are all handwritten in brown ink, and range from a single sentence to half a page long. The entries include meteorological information, and cover the daily activities of the ship's crew. Following the last entry, on the next page is a smaller sheet of white paper titled, "American Clipper Ship 'John Wade'". The handwritten document notes a trial of a "first officer Carpenter," and a "second officer Steward" who were accused of murdering a crew member of their ship, the John Wade, "...in Hong Kong harbor - commenced July 6th..." The writer goes on to explain that there was sufficient evidence, and Carpenter and Steward will most likely be executed and will be transported, but it is not specified where they will be transported. The captain of the John Wade is described as "an accessory after the fact--not having been present at the time of the murder--will probably receive some lighter punishment, and may possibly escape entirely." It is unknown why this handwritten sheet of paper has been pasted inside the journal. Following this document there is a set of blank pages, and then what appears to be a personal balance sheet of a "L.R. Crosby" for the month of March 1910. The handwriting is different from the journal entries, and is written in a different color of ink. Folder 1 contains 5 documents. The first document is a speech made by Charles A. Burr to commemorate the Daughters of the Pioneers of Washington's acquisition of the Tumwater Crosby House (now called the Crosby House Museum) in 1947. Burr refers to Nathaniel Crosby III as "Uncle Nat," and mentions that several members of the Crosby family are present. The second document is a photocopy of a 1962 News Tribune article that explains that a Washington State Historical Society staff member showed a copy of the journal to Bing Crosby. The next two documents are newspaper articles about the Crosby House, and the fifth document is an old WSHS "biographical sketch" of Nathaniel Crosby III.

Book excerpt: In this love letter to his father, former professional golfer Nathaniel Crosby shares memories of Bing Crosby on the golf course, and the lessons he taught him about the game and about life. With a Foreword by Jack Nicklaus. “Bing Crosby was a great ambassador for our game, as well as a great man,” hails longtime friend and golf partner, Jack Nicklaus. The beloved singer and star was also an extraordinary teacher who instilled an abiding passion and mastery of the game in his youngest son, Nathaniel. Winning the US Amateur at nineteen, Nathaniel went on to compete in high-level professional tournaments for his entire life. In 18 Holes with Bing, Nathaniel introduces us to the Bing Crosby he and his family knew—not the beloved singer who played golf, but a golfer who sang to pay his country club dues. Nathaniel shares exclusive stories about this American icon golfing, working, and playing with some of the most famous people in history—royalty, titans of industry, stars of stage and screen, and champions of the green, including Bob Hope, Dwight Eisenhower, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Louis Armstrong. At the book’s heart is an intimate account of a father and a son—how a mutual love of golf formed an exceptional emotional bond. Full of anecdotes, vignettes, and recollections of Bing’s time on the course, the tournaments he created and later sponsored, and the constant encouragement he showed his son, 18 Holes with Bing honors this celebrated golfer, entertainer, and father, and illuminates his life as never before.

Download or read book Television Variety Shows written by David M. Inman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the few hundred television viewers in 1946, a special treat on the broadcast schedule was the variety show called Hour Glass. It was the first TV program to go beyond talking heads, cooking demonstrations, and sporting events, featuring instead dancers, comics, singers, and long commercials for its sponsor, Chase and Sanborn coffee. Within two years, another variety show, Texaco Star Theatre, became the first true television hit and would be credited with the sales of thousands of television sets. The variety show formula was a staple of television in its first 30 years, in part because it lent itself to a medium where everything had to be live and preferably inside a studio. Most of the early television stars--including Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, Dinah Shore, and Arthur Godfrey--rose to prominence through weekly variety shows. In the 1960s, major stars such as Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Judy Garland and Danny Kaye were hosting variety shows. By the 1970s, the format was giving way to sitcoms and dramas, but pop music stars Sonny and Cher, Tony Orlando and Dawn, and Donny and Marie Osmond hosted some of the last of the species. This book details 57 variety shows from the 1940s through the 1990s. A history of each show is first provided, followed by a brief look at each episode. Air date, guest stars, sketches performed, and a listing of songs featured are included.
