“in July of 1863, Grover Cleveland’s name was pulled from the box as one of the approximately 2,000 conscripts Erie County was mandated to contribute to the war effort. Fred, who had completed his tour of duty two months earlier, immediately offered to serve in his brother’s place, but Grover declined, informing his sibling that he had “done enough.” On August 20th, six weeks after being drafted, Cleveland was introduced to 32-year-old George Beniski.”

“In 1820, the first Americans, mostly Christian missionaries, arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. The missionaries taught the natives how to read and write, as well as develop their own alphabet. In the coming years, American and European whalers, merchant seamen, traders, and sugar planters settled in Hawaii. The foreigners, also known as “Haoles,” brought diseases with them (smallpox, mumps, measles, and tuberculosis), which devastated the native population.”
