Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Log cabin - Traditional log buildings in America

The crudest log cabins were built like palisades, with logs of various sizes set vertically in a trench to create the walls. Later log cabins were built from logs laid horizontally and interlocked on the ends with notches. The most important ingredient, naturally, was the logs that were used to build the walls. The length of one log is generally the length of one wall, so tall and very straight trees of a similar size were preferred. If possible, the logs were hewn lengthwise with a broadaxe to make flat sides. This made the lo ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Fort Beauséjour - Construction of Fort Lawrence

In 1750, a British Army expeditionary force under Major Charles Lawrence arrived at Beaubassin. The village was ordered burnt by a local French priest to ensure that the British could not profit from its seizure, however the British forces soon found they were outnumbered by Acadians and Mi'kmaq. Lawrence's troops retreated but returned in September 1750 in greater numbers and began construction of a palisade fort on a ridge immediately east of the Missaguash River, believed to be the historic dividing line between Acadia and Nova Scotia since the Treaty of Utrecht was signed. The work on the f ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Synanon - Criminal behavior

On October 11, 1978 two Synanon members placed a rattlesnake (rattle removed) in the mailbox of an attorney in Pacific Palisades, California. The victim had successfully sued on behalf of a woman that Synanon had abducted. The lawyer was bitten and barely survived.

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Battle of the Great Meadows - Construction of the fort

Washington retired from Jumonville Glen back to the Great Meadows and prepared for a French counterattack. Several Frenchmen had escaped from Jumonville Glen and returned to Fort Duquesne informing the garrison of the incident. On May 29, Washington ordered the construction of a log palisade at the Great Meadows which he named Fort Necessity. Washington believed that the site would provide the British a tactical advantage due to the open spaces surrounding the fort. However, Washington had failed to take into account that the fort was constructed in a depressio ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Hlobane - Kambula

February passed with no major engagements with the enemy, save for the mounted patrols sent out daily to raid the kraals of Zulus harassing No. 5 Column across the eastern Transvaal border. At Kambula, a hexagonal laager was formed with tightly locked together wagons, and a separate kraal for the cattle was constructed on the edge of the southern face of the ridge. Trenches and earth parapets surrounded both, and a stone-built redoubt was built on a rise just north of the kraal. A palisade blocked the hundred yards between the kraal and redo ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Acholi language - Sounds

Acholi has vowel harmony: all vowels in a word have to belong to a single class (e.g. [kojo] the cold vs. [kɔjɔ] to separate). There are two sets of five vowels, distinguished by the feature [+/-ATR]. Acholi is a tonal language. Thus, some words may be distinguished by tone alone, e.g. bèl (low) 'wrinkled' vs. bél (high) 'corn' and kàl (low) 'place enclosed by a palisade' vs. kál (high) 'millet'. Tone furthermore plays ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Tanjong Pagar - Etymology

Tanjong Pagar in Malay means "cape of stakes", a name which reflects its origins as a fishing village situated on a former promontory. It has been surmised that the name was inspired by the presence of kelongs (offshore palisade fishing traps constructed using wooden stakes and cross pieces) set up along the stretch of coast from the village of Tanjong Malang to what is now Tanjong Pagar. It is possibly a corruption of the earlier name Tanjong Passar, a road which led from South Bridge Road to the fishing village and which appeared in George Drumg ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Hartford Connecticut - History

Dutch fur traders from New Netherland colony set up trade in the site as early as 1623, after Adriaen Block explored it in 1614. The Dutch named their post the 'Hope House' (Huys de Hoop).

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra - 17th century

In 1550s, a wooden palisade surrounding the cloister was replaced with 1.5 km-long stone walls, featuring twelve towers, which helped the monastery to withstand a celebrated 16-month Polish siege in 1608–1610. A shell-hole in the cathedral gates is preserved as a reminder of Wladyslaw IV's abortive siege in 1618. Until the end of the 17th century, when young Peter I twice found refuge within monastery from his enemies, numerous structures had been constructed there.

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Staten Island - History

The bedrock of the island is a diabase sill formed during the volcanic eruptions that created much of the bedrock of northern New Jersey, including the New Jersey Palisades, approximately 200 million years ago. As an island, Staten Island was formed in the wake of the last ice age. In the late Pleistocene between 20,000 and 14,000 years ago, the ice sheet that covered northeastern North America reached to as far south as present day New York City, to a depth of approximately the same height as the Empire State Building. At one point, during ...

Palisade: Encyclopedia II - Weehawken Township New Jersey - History

Weehawken, which may mean, 'End of the Palisades' or 'Place of Gulls' dates its incorporation as a Township from 1859.

The earliest residents of the area were the Lenni Lenape Native Americans. They were displaced by the Dutch, who came to settle the area in the early part of the 1600's.
