<h3><strong>The Straus Family: A History of Public Service and Philanthropy (G-2)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
Beginning in the 19th Century and continuing into the 20th, members of the Straus Family have served in governmental positions at the federal and local levels. More particularly, family members have served in the House of Representatives, as Ambassadors, and as Presidential Cabinet Members. By virtue of their positions, as well as a consequence of their acting as advisors and confidants to a number of American Presidents, family members have been actively involved in the formulation of American public policy for well over 100 years.<br /> <br />Furthermore, in the context of American finance and commerce, family members were the owners of Macy's for nearly 100 years. In addition to their participation in the commercial development of the City of New York and America in general, family members have been in a position to assist others less fortunate throughout this period of time. Members of the family have served on the boards of innumerable philanthropic organizations. As a consequence of the family's involvement in this broad spectrum of American life, the family exemplifies and brings to life the true American story and its spirit.<br /> <br />Thus, it is not so much the story of one family that is sought to be told, but rather the American experience as seen through and lived by a family during this period of growth of America.<br /> <br />Source: <a href="http://www.straushistoricalsociety.org/"><strong>www.straushistoricalsociety.org</strong></a>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Sarah Lavanburg Straus (1861-1945), widow of Oscar S. Straus, went to Africa in 1929 at the age of 68 on a group bird collection expedition for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Some of the territory traveled through was so remote that they had to build their own roads and trestle bridges along the way. Sarah, and her grandson Edward Schafer, accompanied ornithologist Rudyerd Boulton and his ethnomusicologist wife Laura on a four month, 15,000 mile, adventure through Uganda, Kenya and Nyasaland (now Malawi). They collected 900 bird specimens, some of them never before documented. Then, in 1935, at the age of 74, Sarah returned to Africa on a second expedition, this time for the Field Museum of Chicago.</p>
<p>After her second African adventure, Sarah reported with a chuckle, “We got lost in the Sahara on our way back to Dakar after the expedition and it was days before we could find our bearings again. We had planned our return trip so that we’d be back before the stormy weather but our calculations went wrong and we ran into a series of sandstorms that buried our station wagon. There was nothing we could do but sleep on the hard sand in blankets and dig our way out in the morning. None of us were strong enough to dig out the car, and, besides, we didn’t have any shovels. Luckily, another party of hunters came along and got us out of our predicament after the storm had passed.”</p>
<p>The 1935 expedition collected 700 small mammals, 300 phonograph recordings of native African music, 1000 still pictures, 15,000 feet of motion pictures and 700 varieties of birds. These specimens are used for study and remain accessible, even today, to scientists from all over the world.</p>
<p>Boulton named a small African warbler with a chestnut throat for Sarah Straus: <em>apalis chapini strausae</em>. This warbler species lives at 5,600 to 8,000 feet above sea level. It is a small insect eating bird with blackish feathers and a chestnut colored throat.</p>

A photograph of the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City.
Formed in 1906 to hold the private collection of banker J.P. Morgan, this library was given to the public in 1924 and holds his collection of manuscripts, printed books, prints, and drawings, including many original manuscripts such as works by Sir Walter Scott and de Balzac. There are also many drawings of notable artists which include Leonardo, Picasso, and Michelangelo. Designed by Charles McKim, the library was intended to appear majestic and yet intimate in scale, reflecting the nature and stature of its holdings. The library and museum has continued to acquire rare materials, as well as important music manuscripts, early children's books, American, and materials from the twentieth century.

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Police officers, firefighters, and other public safety and law enforcement officers provide necessary services to the community and their work deeply connects them to the people they serve. Quite often, these professionals put their own safety in jeopardy to guard the safety and well-being of citizens, to protect their private property, and to guard vital institutions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement organizations include emergency management agencies, fire departments, rescue services, emergency medical technicians, departments of motor vehicles who administer driver’s licenses and conduct vehicle inspections, and animal control units. Employees of these organizations come face to face with the daily conflicts and crimes that occur on the streets of our cities and neighborhoods. These vary from littering and noise pollution to property damage, trespassing, burglary, domestic violence and other forms of improper social behavior. In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security is the federal agency responsible for public safety and for federal emergency services rendered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA works proactively to mitigate the impact of disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement officers play an important role during natural and manmade disasters to save lives and support the stabilization of communities in difficult times when people are suffering from personal injury, or the loss of their relatives, homes and other valued possessions. Preparedness is an important aspect of their training. This enabled them to respond quickly and efficiently and to provide well-coordinated and effective incident support and disaster relief.</span></p>

<p><strong><em>Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Mrs. Julia Ward Howe</em></p>
<p>A song sheet to play the Battle Hymn Of The Republic.</p>
One of the most popular and patriotic songs in the U.S. history actually went through several changes before it was known as it is today. The tune was written around 1856 by William Steffe, and was spread over the U.S. by word of mouth. It was originally about John Brown, the famed abolitionist, but when it was playing during a review, a companion of Howe’s gave her the suggestion to rewrite the lyrics for the war effort. With an extra ‘Glory!’ and a sixth lyric that is often omitted, the song is played today during both Republican and Democratic conventions and during the inauguration of the President.

Although many countries have their military service made up of volunteers, in times of war, mandatory military service can be conscripted by governments to ensure that adequate numbers are available for national defense. Some countries have mandatory military service and require that all citizens serve for a period of time, for example, two years in active duty five years in the reserve. The United States does not have mandatory military service; however, on occasion its government has imposed a draft into military service.<br /> <br />The U.S. has several uniformed services that, throughout its history, have protected the country over land and sea, and in the air. These services are: the U.S. Army, Marine Corps., Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard and the Public Health Service Commission Corps. Some branches of the U.S. military service date back to the Revolutionary War. The U.S. Army, for example, was first the Continental Army, founded in 1775 to fight in the Revolutionary war. The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps were also founded in 1775.

"John Philip Sousa was born in Washington, D. C. in 1854. He received his early education in Washington public schools, while studying music at a private conservatory. When he was 13, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Band as an apprentice musician and continued his private music studies. In 1880 he was appointed leader of the U. S. Marine Band and is accredited for the band becoming the finest military band in the world.
People throughout the world flocked to see ""The March King"" during Sousa’s many American and worldwide tours. He employed a principle that endeared him to the public: Everything was played to perfection, whether it was a classical masterpiece or a popular song. He was a man of considerable self-discipline and extraordinary talent. To all who knew him, he was a man of incredibly high moral standards. By Paul E. Bierley"
