|[Page 1] "At Home Near Chattanooga Tenn 27th Dec 1863 James R. Hood Esq My Dear Sir. Having known you personally for some time prior to the breaking out of the present rebellion, and knowing your opinions relative thereto and knowing also that you know my opinions upon the issues leading to the rebellion, and believing from your conversation, in a short interview had with you a few days since, that there was, among some of the commanding officers of the Fedl. army here, a suspicion, at least, of my loyalty to the United States Govt. I have thought proper to address you this note giving you a plain statement of facts. Some of which transpired while you remained in Tennessee. Others after you left. In the Presidential contest of 1860, as you are aware, I was a supporter of the Bill & Senate ticket, and in conjunction with all other Union Men of Tennessee fought the secession element of the Democracy, after the election of Mr. Lincoln, was satisfied that an effort could be made upon the part of the secession Democracy to disrupt the union and hence began" [Page 2] "2 to shape my sails for the storm. The hotel which I owned and controled, at the depot in Chattanooga & which of itself was a fortune, was at once bought upon the Market and sold. Possession to be given 1st June 1861. hoping to get myself & family out of it, and in a more quiet place, before the political troubles, which I anticipate should fall upon us. After many of the Southern States had passed Ordinance of Secession, the issue was brought upon Tennessee, the day set, 8th Feby 1861 for her people to say whether or not she would cast her lot with others of the Southern States. Or remain as she was. You are personally aware of the interest taken by myself in that contest, using my utmost efforts with the masses, and casting my vote for Tennessee to remain as she was. Voting even against convention. The result of the election, showing a majority of 75,000 against Secession. While the Union majority given would seem to indicate, that there was not much probability of Tennessee being "precipitated" into the rebellion yet there were some of us, who felt that the powers that then ruled Tennessee, being aided & assisted with men and means from the Seceded States, would not leave a stone unturned or rest one moment until the destiny of Tennessee was cast with that of the other" [Page 3] "3 Seceded States. The legislature of Tennessee had been or was in session, resolutions had been passed, "That if an overt act, on the part of the United States Govt should be committed against the Seceded States, that Tennessee would resist it to a man" I believe that the Secession element would take advantage of the resolution expressed by the legislature. Not the will of the people, to precipitate Tenn into the rebellion. And I wrote for the Republican Banner at Nashville. The state organ for the Union Party urging the people not to be deceived in the event that Sumpter should be fired on and should reply. That then the cry of the Overt Act would be heralded to the world and Tenn would be called upon to make good her resolutions. Sumpter was fired upon and replied. – The cry did go forth, that the Overt Act had been committed, another election was called in Tenn for 9th June 1861 for Tennessee to say whether or not they should have Secession and representation in the Confederate Govt. (which was then a machine working) Secession and No representation or No Secession and no representation for the latter position I used my exertions & cast my vote. Upon suming up the vote cast it was declared that Tenn had voted Secession and representation by a Majority of Sixty Thousand" [Page 4] "4 We were then cast upon the sea of rebellion, without a rudder to guide us through the impending storm – Many of the best men whom we had looked upon as firm and unchangeable, in their devotion to the Union were swept along with the swelling current, into the whirlpool of rebellion & political ruin. Tennessee soil was overrun with armed soldiers, from Texas, Louisiana, Ark, Miss, Ala, & Geo. All of who had voted for the Union and advocated Union sentiments, had to cease public expression of their sentiments, or lay themselves liable to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, and probably summary punishment, or to vacate the country. – I chose to remain quit and act prudently, governing myself according to circumstances around me. While others, knowing as I did, that they had the right to express their Sentiments and believing that they could do so with impunity soon found themselves, incarcerated within filthy prisons from which many of them never emerged alive – Others of them after having been retained in prison at – Tuscaloosa & Mobile from 8 to 10 months, were liberated through the influence of their more prudent friends who were still at home. And their taking the Oath of Allegiance to the Confed Govt. as I am advised all prisoners had to do. It was in the fall of 1861 I believe when most of these arrests were made, my brother" [Page 5] "5 among the number, was arrested at the hour of Midnight and placed under guard by Confederate soldiers then at Chattanooga, Through my influence and the influence of other friends, he was released from imprisonment, upon giving heavy bond to the Confederate Govt. I believe of Twenty Thousand dollars, Upon which myself and my brother-in-law John King are his security, No charges were pressed against him, only that he was a boisterous Union Man. Others who were arrested at same time, were sent to Mobile and Tuscaloosa prisons. Among them Esqr's A. A. Pearson, John Anderson, John D. Blackford, Washington Evans, Archibald McDaniel, & others. Citizens of Hamilton County, who after being detained in prison over eight months, were released upon giving bonds of $1000. each. I was surety upon most of these bonds and was instrumental in causing the bonds to be gotten up and their release upon them. I could not do it personally as Wm. M. Chruchwell was Provost Marshall for East Tenn, and it was accomplished through a secession relative of Churchwell, without his knowledge of our motive in the movement. After they had been released and were on this way home the battle of Murfreesboro or Stones River was fought and as prisoners were being taken South, They, the political prisoners were stopped and not allowed to come this side" [Page 6] "6th of Atlanta. I am advised that a liberal fee to the Hon Saml A. Smith, by other friends, started them on home again. I would respectfully refer to the gents mentioned for proof of the facts stated. In the Spring of 1861. I think, April or May, while troops were passing through Chattanooga, from Texas, Ark, Louis, Ala, & Miss. to Virginia, Tennessee not yet having passed an Ordinance of Secession, and the Confederate Govt not having any arrangements for feeding their troops, on transition they had to be fed by the Country. The hotel which I owned & kept, was so situated at the Depot, that the troops at once flocked to it, and before I could vacate the House, 1st June 1861, I was forced to feed them to my cost at least Ten Thousand Dollars. On one occasion an Arkansas Regt. Loaded guns & fixed bayonets and marched in front of the house to mob me. Calling me out and telling me that they had been told that I was a Lincolnite and had said that I would not feed Jeff Davis or any of his Troops, and gave me only five minutes to explain. I told them that they had been miss informed. That I had known Jeff Davis personally for several years, that we were personal friends but different politically and also that they were rather hasty, that Tenn was yet a member of the United States and until she passed such an ordinance they were rather" [Page 7] "7 hasty in forcing her citizens to acquiesce in their measures. They returned to the depot, but not satisfied. I was however not annoyed by them any more as they were soon moved forward. The Telegraph Office was located in when Donelson fell, and with it Nashville, a military Govern was appointed, whose message was published in the Nashville papers. Only one of which was ever known to come through the lines to Chattanooga. I managed to get the use of that, one night, and copied in manuscript the entire message, which manuscript copy was read by the Union friends here, and then mailed by myself to David Cleuge Esq. Cashr of the Planters Bank of Athens. To whom the leader of the Union party of his county (McMinn) would come for information and consultation, a short time afterward. I noticed that the Athens Post, a secession paper, printed at Athens stated that "Some of Abrahams faithful had a manuscript copy of Johnsons message sending it to the faithful, that they had best lookout the eye of Jeff was upon them". The time of the enlistment of the volunteer force of the Confederate States, being about to expire, and the Rebel Govt. left without an army in the field the congress of 1861 & 2 passed a conscript bill, conscribing all" [Page 8] "9 able bodied male citizens between ages of 18 & 35. East Tenn for the time was exempted from the enforcement of the conscript law, because, as I believed and said that they were fearful to enforce the law, for fear the whole population would stampede to Ky and the Federal lines. Bragg moved with his army from Tupelo to Chattanooga, preparatory to his march into Ky, arriving at Chattanooga in July, 1862 I think, Many of his army over 35 years of age, whose term of service had expired were mustered out of service, in compliance with the terms of the conscript law. I believed, and so stated, that as soon as Bragg crossed the River and got his army between the Federal lines and East Tenn. That the conscript law would be enforced in East Tenn, being thus forewarned I was ready and as soon as the law was enforced, which was done by officers being sent back, from Cumberland Mountain. I place in the Rebel army, a substitute, myself being liable to the call, being under 35 years of age. Afterwards, a bill was passed by the Rebel Congress, exempting all persons controling, whether as owner or overseer, Twenty hands or more, which exempted me afterward from conscript. The conscript call was afterwards extended up to 45. It may be asked why my brother, who was about 40, was not forced to procure a substitute also, this is easily explained" [Page 9] "10 We had an Uncle, Ed Crutchfield, from Ky. Who held a position in the Rebel army. Doc Yandall, Genl Hardie's chief surgeon was his intimate friend. I advised brother to get Uncle Ed to have Yandall examine him for a disease of the Antrum, before the call for conscripts up to 40 or 45. Which I knew would come, - In accordance with my suggestion brother had Doc Yandall examine him, and received from him a certificate of disability from military duty – when the call to 40 was made, I went with brother to the examining surgeon for the district, and having the certificate of Hardie's Chief Surgeon, it was not a difficult matter to have it approved and coincided with by the examining surgeon. Then upon that certificate the enroling officer was bound to give him Certificate of exemption from military service in the Confederate army. But after all this, upon a subsequent call and reexamination of papers, brother was compelled to go to Cleveland and have his papers reexamined, and there, the certificate of Yandall alone saved him from conscription. These facts, brother will substantiate, and further, that my prudence and coolness has, beyond doubt, saved his life while the country was under Rebel rule. Just before the evacuation of Chattanooga by Bragg brother was ordered out of Chattanooga. I planned a scheme for him to get through the pickets and across the River" [Page 10] "11 And the day before he crossed, posted him fully as to the strength and position of Braggs army and as to his reinforcements from Miss. The reinforcements of Longstreet we knew nothing of. On Monday 7th Sept 1863 my brother came to the bank of the River opposite my house (He being in the Fed lines) and had a conversation with a member of my family. Sent message to his wife, and was advised that I would cross the River on next night, Tuesday. And bring letter from his wife, and telegrams, direct from the office, no pickets were at that time on our farm, but a squadron of Cavalry, under command of Col Ellison of Middle Tenn, were on duty on the farm just above me, and heard the conversation of the evening before, but did not understand it. On Sunday 6th Sept, Wm Wood and Sam Elmore, two of my tenants & myself reconnoitered the River, and found that there were no pickets. While we were at the mouth of the creek talking with the pickets of the Fedl Army, on opposite bank of the river, endeavoring to find out if brother was there to post him. Two men walked up from the bank of the river on opposite side of the creek and asked us if we were pickets. I told them we were. They wanted to know to what command we belonged. I told them Forrests. They then returned to their posts, as we did not know whether they were pickets" [Page 11] "12 or deserters, as it was important for us to know, I told Mr. Elinore, as he had cultivated the lands on that side of the creek, that he had best cross over and go to the River. Ostensibly to see if his corn had been much destroyed while Wood & I make still further reconnoisance on the River, south of the creek. Wood & I had just returned to the house, when Mr. Elmores little boy came to my house and informed me that the pickets had arrested his father for "talking across the River and telling the Yanks that Bragg was retreating" and desired that I should come to his assistance. I changed my clothing so that they would not know me and started immediately, but before I got to Headquarters Col W W Anderson, a personal friend of Mr Elmores had succeeded in getting him released, simply upon the ground that he had done nothing more than the pickets had done "talked across the river" it was the next day, Monday, that brother had an interview, with a member of my family, the sound of which the same pickets heard, so, on Tuesday about10. Oc. A.M. There was thrown upon my farm about 250. of the command of cavalry, the greater portion of which lay concealed behind a hill, while about a dozen filled the picket post where brother had been communicating with us. I was fearful every moment of being arrested and taken to the rear. Kept my room closely and had" [Page 12] "13 my family doing picket duty to advise me of the approach of any Confed Cavalry. I was not aware of any being on my farm until my mother told me the back yard was full of Rebel Cavalry. I at once left the house on double quick, and took up my position in the woods, under a friendly Oak, having given orders to my servants to take my mules (20) to the swamp and keep them hid out until the Rebel Cavalry left. I remained under the Oak until next morning, Wednesday, when my servant brought me my horse. I started for my brother-in-law, John King, north of Chickamauga creek. I had an old passport in my pocket from Capt Peden, Provost Marshall, which enabled me to pass the pickets at the bridge. I arrived at Kings quite feeble, having been chilling, and during that day Col Wildens Brigade crossed the River at Sirely's Ford, and in a very short time thereafter, Capt Carter, whom I knew and other Federal Officers were at kings. I then came home bringing Carter with me, had my mules brought in, and on next day, Thursday turned 12 of them over to Col Wilder. Gen Rosecrans Army advanced at once to the front leaving Brig. Genl Wagner in command of the Post at Chattanooga, to who I furnished about 1000 bushels" [Page 13] "14 of corn, 50,000 pounds of hay & 10,000 binds of Oats. The battle of Chickamauga was fought, Genl Rosecrans repulsed, and on Monday 21st Sept as I was coming out of town, I was called upon by Genl Vancleve, to show him the roads leading to the different gaps on Mission Ridge, & the bridge and ford over Chickamauga creek which I did. On Tuesday 22nd his force was driven from the ridge and their position at the Creek. Some of them retreating through my farm, they were followed up rapidly by Rebel Cavalry scouting for straglers, A captain and eight men, of Genr. Vancleves command hid in the thickets upon my farm, until the Rebel Cavalry quit scouting for them. They then came to the house for water, and I directed them how to cross the river and get to their command. I also gave to the Capt his sword, which he had left in the thicket, and which I had picked up. He and his men crossed the river that night, and the man is now in Chattanooga who brought the boat over after them. While all this was going on in my yard, there was these Rebel ladies & one man in my house, who had taken refuge there from the shells and small arms near the ridge, and they were watching every movement & suspected me & reported me, causing others to suspect me, and I was troubled greatly to control it." [Page 14] "15 Hundreds crossed the river at my farm as Genl Rosecrans retreated, I did not do so. Although I had the consent of my family and my clothes packed. I believe I could remain an engineer through it. I met many personal friends of the Rebel Army, who told me that they had heard, that I had received and accepted the appointment of a Brigadier Genlship in the Fed army and that I was now acting in that capacity. To which I replied "that I was not supprised at any thing I heard these days". After all our work to keep out of the Rebel army there was still a chance for Isham G. Harris to get us into State Service, and then turn us over to the Confederacy. I enclose his Adpt. Genls. Letter, (which please preserve). Jeff Davis had called for Gov. troops from Tennessee, and every body had to come forward, exempts, & all. I was sick at home and brother came out to see me. After consultation, it was agreed to raise a company composed exclusive of Union men and to be slow about organizing, hoping that Genl Rosecrans would advance and save us any further trouble. If he did not advance then we were to make it a cavalry company and do picket duty and Ride over. It was thought more prudent to make brother Captain, but some thought it more prudent for me to take the position, so hand bills were issued as I understand, never having seen one of them, but before" [Page 15] "16 the organization Genl Rosecrans relieved us. After the retreat of Genl Rosecrans, and the investment of Chattanooga by Bragg, Col Ellison, my same cavalry officer had command of the right wing of Braggs army. And his men did duty on my farm. I was reported to him as a Union man. As having met the Fedl officers and taken them to my house &c&c, Col Ellison sent his men at the hour of midnight, and searched my house, but found nothing. I relieved myself from suspicion, at least with him, by getting him to furnish me four of his men, who caught the parties that informed on me stealing corn from my field at midnight. I was at the Headquarters of Genl Bragg several times, while he was invisting [?] Chattanooga, and while, by a portion of the officers of the army, I was suspected. Yet I stood fair with the Rebel authorities. Many of the officers were old guests of my house, (the Hotel) and old personal friends. I have had many of the officers of the Rebel army partake of my hospitality, and could get from them as many favors as almost any one else. I do not know what it takes to constitute a loyal man now. I have never voted for Secession or willingly aided it. I have contributed, probably as much as any other" [Page 16] "17 man in East Tenn, having lost my crop since the rebellion commenced aside from the losses at the Hotel, before the rebellion I was independant, pecuniarily. I have lost by the rebellion not less than One hundred Thousand Dollars. My farm is now a perfect barren waste, farming implements all destroyed, not a rail left, the farm cut up with rifle pits. The hospitals established on the farm, (one in and immediately at my house) on 25th Nov & moved on 24th Dec 1863, about 1000 wounded in all. This distruction was not done by the Rebels, but by the 15th Fedl Army Corps. Not content with the destruction of every thing on the Farm, but they plundered all the houses, save the one my family was in. The Union people of East Tenn have prayed for the advent of the Fedl army, to relieve them from Rebel oppression. The Fedl army came but the Union people did not receive the protection they had a right to expect. All has been destroyed. I have voted only once since the Secession of the state and there only for Hon Jno C Gaut for Judge of the judicial circuit. I have given you a plain statement of facts and although much has been omitted, yet I find this letter is already too long. The facts stated can all be substantiated. No Secession flag had ever floated from my house. Nor have I ever joined in the home guard parties, hunting down Union men but have warned others against it and have" [Page 17] "18 always been the friend of the Union man. As they will all testify to a man. I dislike to rest under suspicion, and if at any time it may become necessary for me to make further proof of my devotion to the Union I will be able to do so by the best men in the country. Hoping that you will not become wearied in reading this hastily written letter, and that you may find in it something of interest, in the imperfect sketch of a portion of the history of your humble Svt. During the past three years. I am Very Truly &c Your Obt Svt Tom Crutchfield SB. You are aware of the consequences to myself & others mentioned in this letter, should its contents ever become known in Rebeldom, and we should fall within their hands. In view of this, you will be careful, what disposition you make of it." [Page 19] "Return this And the enclosed to Mr Jn M. Gault 161 N. Cherry St Nashville Tenn"
|Letter from Thomas Crutchfield Jr. to James R. Hood. Crutchfield makes an effort to prove his loyalty to the Union by recounting his opposition to secession, his informing the Federals of troop movements, his supplying of the Union army with mules, corn, hay, and oats, and the decimation of his property. At the same time, he has also been busy springing his brother from a Confederate prison, avoiding conscription into the Confederate Army, and using his connections to Confederate officers to gain favors.

|Historical note
|Crutchfield sold his popular Chattanooga hotel, the Crutchfield House, in 1861 to remove himself from the center of the conflict, but even so his loyalty was questioned throughout the war. He side-stepped conscription by obtaining a substitute. He states that he "chose to remain quiet and act prudently" and expresses faith in his ability to "engineer through it." Crutchfield is using Hood, a volunteer aide to several Federal military leaders, as a go-between to convey his sympathies to the authorities.

considering purchase of 104, w/pic
My friend has this Cub Cadet 104 that he purchased new in 1969 that he wants to sell. I am considering purchasing it. Included is the mower deck (in good condition), pull behind disc and a nice IH Cadet trailer, I think it is a # 2. It has always been garaged runs very good and transmission (3spd manual) is every good, tires good.
I am not famaliar with pricing on these units. It has always been serviced properly. Can you please give me a ball park range of pricing. I consider it to be as nice as any Cadet tractor that I have seen.
Thanks, Berlin
I started out with nothing and now I only have half of that left !
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Price depends on if you want to keep it for yourself or re-sell it. If it's to keep and use,you can pay more.Looks like it's in nice shape with original paint and original type tires,but has no creeper gear,which is fine until you get a rototiller or snowthrower for it.How loose is the steering? Does it run good,does it charge? In this area that tractor and extras might bring $500-800 in good working condition.How much would you pay at Sears for a new machine comparably equipped that will be junk in 5 years or less?
Hope this helps a bit.
How can you have too many Cubs????
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
If you can get it around $500 with the cart it's a great deal. The seat looks excellent from that pic, most of those old seats of that style are beyond worn out. Plus if you're getting it from the original owner that would be a big plus in my book. Does he happen to have the bill of sale or anything still yet? Also, does it have a rear 3pt lift or PTO?
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
The tractor with mower deck would normally sell at auction in this area for between $400- and $500-. Trailer, perhaps a bit more.
Depending on make and condition, the disk may be of little value. I have a couple of pull behind disks originally sold with 2 wheeled garden tractors. These disks work well behind a Cub Cadet. Neighbor picks up scrap metal. Not uncommon to find 2 wheeled garden tractors and implements being scrapped.
Mower deck repairs have been my largest single expense. Mower decks wear out long before the tractor.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
I would be buying it as a collection piece, and also will use it ( don't need it for mowing) it does not have a lift or pto, I have a creeper gear that I can put in it.
Thanks for the responses.
I started out with nothing and now I only have half of that left !
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Id be a buyer at 350 on it. the trailer is around 250 to 350

Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Hope you were able to land a deal with the owner! Sounds like the owner wants to sell the 104, a disk harrow, and a #2 IH cart in a lot. If the k241 is not smoking too badly, I'd expect to pay around 550.00 for everything, +/- $ 50.00 . This 104 looks as good as you have described, and you had better believe these IH Cub Cadets are 100 times better than what you can buy from JD or Sears today.
I have news for you, every part of the mower deck can be repaired or replaced! That deck has 3 grease fittings on it! The tractors are just a serviceable, and parts for both can still be found at many places! Today's box store junk don't even have any grease fittings to speak of, and there is a BIG reason for that! They want you to keep spending money on the cheep junk that they keep forcing down our throats. Guess that's the way it is,....for those who don't know. IH Cub Cadets Are For Keeps!
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
I did purchase the tractor trailer and disc, will post pics later. I cleaned the carb and some other minor repairs, it is running well.
Thanks for your comments . In this area Cadets bring a higher price than any of you suggested, I know prices are different in different regions.
I started out with nothing and now I only have half of that left !
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
I'm sure you got a nice machine. There are few around that were taken care of like that one appears to have been. Just the fact that it still has the original seat, decals, and paint, shows either very little use, or someone that took really good care of it. Regardless, it looks like a good one. For some reason those blue-stripe Cadets are really my favorite. I've had three 124s, a 125, and a 104. All were excellent machines and in my opinioin, way under rated compared to what they will really do.
I think I'd run a couple of treatments of Sea Foam through that one, clean and polish her up, and basically leave her as she is.

Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Great looking rig there!
Love those narrow frames!
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Way to go! Glad to see you reeled this one in! Sure is a nice 104, and the #2 cart looks pretty good too! Beautiful day by you last Thursday. I see your tractor has the Firestone 8.5" gum dipped rear tires to boot! Looking good, cant wait for any updates that might happen along!
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Nice addition to the herd And toys with it to boot

Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
This is my first Cadet, except for a few junkers that I sold. It obviously is a very well made machine and I hope to pick up some attachments along the way.
I started out with nothing and now I only have half of that left !
Re: considering purchase of 104, w/pic
Nice find i like my cc104.
I found a 104 that was stored after a few years from bad gas. After removing the head to fix a stuck valve the engine inside appeared to be brand new or very little use. After a quick replacement of the gummed up carb and gas tank i found out i have a cloe to brand new running 104. The 38" deack mows the lawn excellent too. Orginally i went looking for a snowplow but i ended up with this non running 104 with a odd ball 54" snowplow and the 38" mower deck from the orginal owners family for $150.
I have noticed a Cub Cadet running with one or two attachments will go between $750 to $1,000 for a gas up, check the oil, turn key running tractor. After all there better than the new stuff there selling today.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

About Austin Air
The Austin Air Healthmate was born out of necessity as President, Richard Taylor, undertook the task of improving what many doctors and specialists couldn't - his wife's quality of life.
Since his wife, Joyce, was a child, she had difficulty breathing. An endless round of doctors and specialists didn't make any difference; neither did medications or dietary changes. She suffered from this debilitating condition for years, until Richard realized the obvious. The air Joyce was breathing was contaminated.more »

A word from David Burke Townhouse
David Burke Townhouse is the masterpiece of Award-winning Executive Chef David Burke, whose reputation for wildly creative takes on American ingredients is unsurpassed. Since 2003, David Burke has been serving provocative Modern American Cuisine in an elegantly refurbished Upper East Side space.
The restaurant's design is inspired by the bold colors and lacquered surfaces on the 1930's, yet it has decidedly contemporary aesthetic. Upon entering David Burke Townhouse, guests will feel the glamour and sense of fun in the lounge with its sleek white gloss, stone bar and whimsical art installations. The volume of color and drama is turned up for the main event, the dining room, where a striking color palette of chocolate, vanilla and lipstick colors prevails.

Diner Reviews
We have been waiting several
months for David Burke Townhouse to complete construction on changing its interior. Our most recent reservation on 21st March could not happen because the construction continues and the restaurant had to cancel our reservation. I am a bit surprised to be receiving this "Review" request, but as I have great respect for the chef as well as their flagship restaurant location, I am glad to oblige with optimism that when they finally do re-open ... currently predicted as middle April ... it will be a great pleasure once again to participate as a guest. Thank you Mr Burke for bringing such a high quality level of food to our neighborhood."

Choosing the David Burke Townhouse
for brunch was an amazing idea. While the main location was closed for renovations, we had our meal at Fishtail by David Burke Townhouse and were very pleased. The Lobster Benedict is to die for. Service was very friendly and the decor is simply amazing. Would definitely go back and recommend to all others."
Dined on 3/9/2014
Had a reservation and invited a
guest. How embarrassing restaurant was still closed for renovations. Very disappointed!!!!! Had to scramble to find somewhere else on a saturday night."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Food was great, but we had to wait
well over an hour for our table upstairs, despite having a reservation."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Too expensive for the
price, Portions also small considering Pleasant service Nice room"
Dined on 1/18/2014
You have to go here on Sunday as
its the best deal you will ever find. An appetizer, entree and a dessert all for $35! Every Sunday! And the food is absolutely amazing. The coolest part is the plating. It's super unique and super fun. The plate that was pretty boring though was the steak, so I'd say skip that and go for the other dishes."
Dined on 1/5/2014
This restaurant catered to out of
towners the night we had dinner. The lobster "steak" tasted fishy and not in a good way. We sat sandwiched between 2 other tables in a crowded restaurant that was not cozy in a good way. I would not recommend this restaurant except for the drunken doughnuts for dessert."
Dined on 1/4/2014
Excellent food as always. Would
have been nice to have some reduced drinks to go with brunch menu!!"
Dined on 1/4/2014
I've had several great meals here
but this was poor. Food was fine but service abysmal. Not sure if the waitstaff was undermanned (didn't look like it). 25 minutes date being seated we hadn't been asked if we wanted drinks. I held the wine list for a half hour before someone deigned to ask what wine we might want. Food was great but then after all this we felt rushed out at the end of the night. (Since front end service was so poor and slow we were last ones in the restaurant (but it was only 10 pm which was very odd)"
Dined on 12/30/2013
Service and food was really great.
Lobster soup was amazing. It was a cross between a thai coconut soup and a lobster bisque. Remarkable flavor, great plating and very creative. The lobster steak was not so great. I tasted more crab than lobster. My wife's cavatelli with short ribs was extraordinary as was the chicken and dumplings and the duck dish. The only thing troubling was that they had an air conditioner on in the middle of the winter. Even when they said it was turned off it was still cold. Weird. Nevertheless, the service was extraordinary and the food very well prepared. This was our first David Burke dining experience and we can't wait for our next one."

Beautiful setting, amazing food, exceptional service made it an great evening. Can't wait to have dinner there again!"

Went for Christmas dinner on 25th
of December, intimate restaurant with set menu with options cost $89 per person. Wine list very expensive but decent options by the glass! Food was great.....hearty menu that filled us well! Fab touch was that they had a limousine parked out front for guests to hop in to have a cigarette or cigar instead of standing out in the cold! Would recommend to others!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
David Burke's Townhouse definitely
lives up to its reputation, from the superb service to the sublime food, exquisitely prepared. The signature lobster steak is as close to heaven as you can get here on earth!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
Spend an arm and a leg to sit in
someone's lap. The table could not be closer together."
Dined on 12/25/2013
Great presentation. Great
service. The food doesn't match the decor. Turbot and lobster were bland."
Dined on 12/25/2013
First, they should be complemented
for being open on Christmas Eve. David Burke himself was there. We each had different meals off their menu. All were delicious. I had the "Pot Pie" which was a savory delight. The service was perfect. The Townhouse is always a great place to eat."
Dined on 12/24/2013
This can be a wonderful dining
experience. The food is exceptional, the service attentive and accommodating, and the whimsical decor is delightful. BUT, do not be seated in the middle ground between the bar and the main dining room. It's not that the food and service are not just as good. It is that the atmosphere is of a service area for serving, traffic pattern into the dining room, and the doggy bag patrons. This atmosphere just degrades the whole experience. The bar area is great and the dining room perfect. Too bad about the middle hallway."
Dined on 12/24/2013
I am never disappointed at David
Burke's Townhouse. The dishes are always delectable, the atmosphere is pleasant and they never rush you to turn over the table. It's a treat."
Dined on 12/22/2013
The food great but the service
bad. We saw our dishes ready on a desk where the waiters should pick them up to serve us and took many time waiting to be picked up so our food was cold"
Dined on 12/22/2013
Service was slow and very
inattentive. Salmon pastrami excellent, quiche was dry. Scotch egg was very good."

We sat at table sandwiched too
closely between two others. We waited about ten minutes. We flagged a bus boy for menus. Menus came soon but not too soon after. The appetizers were good. The entrees were not. My steak was a fine ribeye. But my dining partner's "lobster steak" -- pieces of lobster shaped into steak which I think was then grilled? Or ruined? -- was dry and overcooked. So we shared my steak steak. Do not order the "lobster steak." It is made of lobster and shaped like steak but it is an insult to both foods. We then noticed that other tables (like the ones on top of us) were receiving small plates between courses. We did not receive these. We did not enjoy dining at this establishment. But at least it was expensive."

This is one beautiful restaurant,
with great food, fun atmosphere and attentive service. A little cramped at times but it adds to the warm and fun of the place. Only reservation--while i admit we a group of 4 were lingering longer than norm, we did fell a little the bums rush at the end. Not wholly unfair, just unexpected, but even this was done with good cheer and and high class style."

Maybe slightly over priced
compared to other top rated places in the city. Definitely one of the best on the UES though. Deserves the 25 zagat food rating, no higher"

Went for brunch with a
reservation. Seated on time. More than 20 minutes later .....no menu....waiter asked if we wanted the check. No but a menu would be appreciated. Another 10 minutes then menu came. We asked if he could take our drink order...Sure.....After 5 minutes a gentleman came and asked if we were ready to order drinks.....and so it went.We did order eventually and the food came out at a very slow pace. Luckily we were in no hurry and had lots to say to each other. Place was dressed up for the holidays, there were a good amount of patrons, but not full by any means. Food was good. Drinks were so so. Service severely lacking. Was sad to write this review. They used to be so much better....."

We arrived late & I misplaced the
phone number to the restaurant so couldn't let them know; they gave away our table but offered us a quiet booth across from the bar. I was disappointed I didn't get to see the dining room but we honestly really enjoyed cozying up to one another at this table. The wine selection was good, we ordered a tasty bottle of Pinot Noir. For main courses we ordered the Veal Saltimbocca and Gin Spiced Salmon which were both delicious! For dessert he enjoyed the Chocolate Tort and I was able to sample both the Carrot Cake and Cheesecake Lollipop Tree as they were out of the Warm Apple Tarte. The service was a bit slow as the lunch progressed but all in all a good experience and will go again if the opportunity arises."

We were looking for someplace
special for our holiday lunch and this was perfect. Food was beautifully presented and delish. We opted for the price fixe, so it was extremely reasonable. Tables are close together and there isn't an inch to spare. Chef David Burke was visible and greeting patrons - which was like a visit from Santa for the foodies."
Dined on 12/20/2013
I have given outstanding review
for all things, but the unbearable noise level! I have been there before and it's been OK, but stay away at holiday time. No inside voices here! IMPOSSIBLE to have a conversation. We stopped trying and experienced one of the best dishes ever...Lobster steak. Don't miss it, but go another time of year."

We met friends here and had a
wonderful dinner, though the menu is a bit short. It was decorated fabulously for Christmas and I liked that a lot. We sat at the bar briefly as we waited for our guests. We no sooner sat down than we struck up a conversation with another bar sitter- it was nice. The crowd was a bit noisy early on but got quieter later. It was a good night."

Loved the way the restaurant was
decorated for Christmas. Very festive. The food was great we were a party of three and everyone loved there food. The atmosphere puts you in a very upbeat mood Definetly go there again"

We had a 10:30 AM reservation and
only one other table seated when we arrived. We sat for at least 15 minutes before our waiter came over. He was flustered & unavailable for the entire meal. No one ever came to offer us coffee, I had to flag down a busboy. This continued for our entire meal; need anything, flag down a busboy. The lack of attention was startling considering the restaurant's image/reputation & the empty dining room. In addition I should note that we waited on the host to seat us much longer than we should have & were given a less than desireable table in an empty room. We never felt welcome. I hope it was just a case of being way off their usual game - it happens to all of us."

Fantastic flavors. Surprising,
expensive but worth it."

The environment and food were both
wonderful, but the service was quite poor. It took an hour to get our table (8:30 pm reservation / we sat at 9:30 pm)...the waiter did not bring our dessert and forgot we even ordered it from him...and champagne sent by friends was never delivered. Though the food was delicious, considering the cost, I would not recommend this restaurant to others."
Dined on 12/13/2013
This is my favorite restaurant. I
am always impressed by how every detail is consistently perfect. The quality, taste and presentation are second to none and every time a dish is put in front of you you can't help but smile. My husband had the venison, which was a seasonal special, and said it was the best he'd ever had. The pastrami smoked salmon appetizer melts in your mouth. Everything was superb from beginning to end. But perhaps what I love best is the whimsical ambiance of the restaurant. The decor and furnishings make you feel like Alice in Wonderland and the staff is attentive and perfectly efficient without hovering. They are there when you need them and invisible when you don't. I can't say enough about this restaurant."

Custodial Accounts May Not Be Protected
A custodial account is an account established at a bank or other financial institution that is for the benefit of a minor but under the control of an adult. For example, you could set up a custodial savings account for your child; any withdrawals will then require your approval. For that reason custodial accounts are great ways to help your children save and to learn about managing money while allowing you to maintain overall control.
That's a great reason to use custodial accounts, but they do come with risks. For example, custodial accounts are usually not considered to be protected assets if you file for bankruptcy even if the money in the account is truly your child's. Say your parents give your son a large amount of cash that is deposited in the custodial account; if you declare bankruptcy the court could possibly pursue that money to repay debts you owe. In general, custodial accounts make great sense for small sums of money; if your child has significant assets you may want to consider another option.

Q:Is the Eddy waterproof? I know it has suede so I want to know if I can get them wet or if I can wash them.Asked on 4/11/2013 by Mike
1 answer
A:This style can handle getting wet, however we recommend allowing them to dry out of direct heat or sunlight. Treating them with a suede conditioner occasionally will help keep the leather/suede from drying out.Answered on 4/11/2013 by Teva Product Specialist

By the beginning of the 19th century Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland had already become renowned for its impressive mountain scenery. Famous contemporaries such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Felix Mendelssohn traveled in these mountains. Interlaken's success as a tourist destination was further enhanced by the completion of the Bernese Oberland Railway in 1890 and the Jungfrau Railway in 1912.
As a vacation destination and convention location of international importance, Interlaken is an ideal starting point for countless excursions. Over 45 mountain railways, cable cars, chair lifts and ski lifts lead to 200 kilometers of pistes and a dense network of hiking trails. Excursion ships, including historic paddle steamers, ply the waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.
Trains to the Jungfrau region in the direction of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen with connections to the railways to Mürren and from there to the Schilthorn as well as via the Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch depart from the Interlaken Ost railway station. A fleet of ships, including one historic paddle-steamer on each lake, cruises on Lakes Thun and Brienz. Interlaken is located on the «Golden Pass» panorama route from Montreux on Lake Geneva past the luxury holiday resort of Gstaad to Interlaken and from there across the Brünig Pass to Lucerne.
Just ten kilometres away from Interlaken, on a sunny south-facing slope, lies Beatenberg-Niederhorn, a paradise for paragliders. For hikers there is an extensive network of hiking routes. The Niederhorn also provides a habitat for ibexes, chamois and marmots.
In winter visitors benefit from the central location of Interlaken and the associated opportunity to every day pick their favourite among the ski regions of the Jungfrau Top Ski Region (Mürren/Schilthorn, Kleine Scheidegg/Männlichen and First) or the family-oriented ski region of Beatenberg or Axalp-Brienz. Over 45 mountain railways, aerial cableways, chair and ski lifts take athletes to 200 kilometres of pistes. Cross-country skiers and toboggan riders also are well catered for in the vicinity. And there are over 220 kilometres of winter walking trails in Interlaken, Beatenberg, Axalp-Brienz, Habkern, Wilderswil and the Jungfrau region. Guests staying in the holiday region of Interlaken may take advantage of the daily ski bus transfer connecting Interlaken with the ski-region Mürren/Schilthorn, Kleine Scheidegg/Männlichen und First.
- Schynige Platte near Wilderswil – nostalgic rack-railway, fascinating view of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, Alpine garden with about 500 plant species and a lot of hiking possibilities.
- Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn – the rides by rack-railway to the highest railway station in Europe and the cableway to the Piz Glora revolving restaurant: two top mountain experiences in the Bernese Oberland.
- Harder Kulm – a cableway takes passengers up to Interlaken's "house mountain" which affords a view of the health resort and the whole Jungfrau region. The Alpine wild animal park near the valley station is an experience for children.
- Heimwehfluh – a nostalgia funicular provides transport to the vantage terrace with a restaurant, all-weather toboggan run, model railway display and large playground.
- Jungfrau Tourism Museum in Unterseen – the regional tourism museum shows 200 years of tourism in the Jungfrau region.
- St. Beatus Caves – one kilometre of lit limestone caves with stalagmites, impressive halls and waterfalls accessible by boat, car, bus or on foot on the historic pilgrims way.

Hi I went to Interlaken during Easter this year... sadly most of the things were shut and whatever had opened had just done so. I recommend summer as the best time to go, but Schilthorn and the other mountain attractions are supposedly open all year. It is really worth going there and it definitely does snow in winter. I would expect it so start becoming cold around this time of year and even more so in Jan/Feb, so take some warm clothes. People are generally friendly and they have great pride in their town. The no 1 way to travel is the train. Everybody loves it and there are many things to do with kids. Just make sure you have your valid ticket/rail pass with you or the conductor will be very cross with you, demand a fine and kick you out at the next stop. Apart from that, most places are already kid friendly,but some of the adventurous things such as rafting etc. might be a little scary or overwhelming for kids. Mountains are also suitable. Schilthorn is my mountain recommendation along with Jungfrau. Another recommendation is the Trummelbach falls and Harder Kulm. There is also supposedly a river cruise which is very nice. Finally, there's walking. Walking around interlaken is just so wonderful. Everything is nice and scenic, the weather is nice and if you go by the riverside. In that aspect, interlaken is definitely the best hub for seeing the reason in terms of convenience and practicality. More information is available at the tourist office on Hoheweg street. Hope every one found that useful Thanks :-D

To paraphrase Shakespeare, in the vineyards of the world, something worrisome this way comes. Over the last decade, global warming has started affecting those narrow zones best suited for growing wine grapes.
Warmer temperatures are a mixed blessing for winemakers. In colder climates like Bordeaux and Burgundy, more heat can increase sugars in the grapes.
Richard Snyder, a biometeorology specialist at the University of California, Davis, speaking at last year's Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, said a three degrees centigrade increase in temperature would create more carbon dioxide in the air, aiding photosynthesis and prolonging frost-free growing seasons.
The bad news, said Snyder, is that higher temperatures can bring more droughts to the Mediterranean and California.
Unlike so-called broad acre crops such as soybeans and wheat, wine grapes are a "niche crop that can only been grown in certain areas," says Gregory V. Jones, professor and research climatologist in the Department of Environmental Studies at Southern Oregon University.
"The issue today is, when we talk of global warming, we talk about humans' contribution, which is occurring at a much faster rate than in recorded history. What we used to consider a one-in-50-year drought is now more commonplace. The extreme heat of 2012 in the U.S. was a one-in-1,600- year event," he says.
Axel Heinz, director of production for Super Tuscan wine Ornellaia, said the prolonged European heat wave in the summer of 2003 was what alerted first producers to what was going on.
"The weather is now getting more and more extreme and unpredictable with sudden heat spikes, long lasting drought periods and violent and unpredictable rainfalls," he said.
Such spikes are forcing winemakers to adapt. Heinz has observed an accelerating trend of increased sugar levels leading to higher alcohol levels in the past five years.
