Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Maryland Scroll.JPG 250px right thumb Maryland Scroll The Maryland Scroll is an American Civil War artifact. It consists of a pencil drawing of a scroll with an unfurling banner above it. It was drawn on March 16, 1863 by one or more unknown members of James Breathed s Battery on the wall of the Graffiti House , in Brandy Station, Virginia . Scroll contents The unfurling banner also known as the horizontal scroll reads Rifle Gun and No. 1, Stuart Horse Artillery Breathed s Battery On Picket March 16, 1863 The main scroll, or vertical scroll lists the names of the fourteen soldiers in the artillery unit, as well as officers Sgt. Henry Thomas and Cpl. F. Gibson. The other names on the scroll which are numbered 1 to 14 in order George W. McCabe, H. Hopkins, S. Owens, H Greenwell, H. Wagner, E. Russell, W. Hopkins, F. Yates, A Muth, B. Evans, H. Wickes, W. Evans, U. Haller, and H. Boyd. On March 17, 1863, the day after the scroll was created, the men named on it fought at the Battle of Kelly s Ford . History Used as a hospital and meeting place by both Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, the house now known as the Graffiti House was near demolition in 1993 . When salvage efforts uncovered the extensive historical graffiti in the upper floor of the house, the Maryland Scroll was removed from the wall and placed in a private collection of Civil War memorabilia. The people of nearby Culpeper, Virginia sought to have the scroll returned to the Graffiti House, and this was accomplished in January 2004 after the acquisition of the scroll by the Brandy Station Foundation . The scroll currently sits in a glass case in the house s South Room , with a photograph on the wall showing its original position.

Abarimon is the name of a legend ary race of people native to a country of the same name. The people of Abarimon had backwards feet, but in spite of this handicap were able to run at great speed. They lived side by side with wild animals and attempts to capture them failed because they were so savage. They lived in a great valley of Mount Imaus now called the Himalayan Mountains . There was a special quality of air which meant if it was breathed for a long period of time it would be impossible to breathe any other type of air and the inhabitants could never leave the valley alive. The Abarimon people were first described by Pliny the Elder in his book, Natural History VII 11 . A similar tale is recounted by Aulus Gellius in Attic Nights . References Natural History of Pliny .

Unreferenced date September 2009 In Hawaiian mythology , K ne is considered the highest of the four major Hawaiian deities, along with Kanaloa , K , and Lono . He represented the god of procreation and was worshipped as ancestor of chiefs and commoners. K ne is the creator and gives life associated with dawn, sun and sky. No human sacrifice or laborious ritual was needed in the worship of K ne. The book, Legends of Hawaii 1907, has the following account of creation involving Kane. The author says that there are several versions of this story, probably due to waves of immigration from different areas of Polynesia at different times, but generally they agree on the major points. It says that in the beginning, there was nothing but Po the endless black chaos. Then Kane, sensing that he was separate from the Po, pulled himself free of Po by an act of shear will. Sensing Kane s presence, Lono and then Ku also pulled themselves free of Po. Then Kane created the light to push back Po. Lono brought sound to the universe and Ku brought substance. Between them they created all the lesser Gods. Then together, the three Gods created the Menehune, the lesser spirits to be their messengers and servants. Next they created the world to be a foot stool for the Gods. Finally they gathered red clay from the four corners of the world, they mixed the clay with their spittle, and molded it into the shape of a man. Then Kane took a special magical white clay and formed it into a head. Then the three Gods breathed life into the statue and created the first man. The first man was created in the image of Kane. There is a parallel legend that says that Kane alone breathed life into the man statue. At the same time, Kanaloa tried to duplicate Kane s feat, but his statue failed to come to life. So he challenged Kane. Something to the effect, that man will live only a certain span of time, then he will die. When he dies, I will claim him as my own.
