Josiah Winslow was born in Plymouth Colony about 1628 and died in 1680 in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony.
 In records of the time, historians also name him Josias Winslow, and modern writers have carried that name forward.

 Josiah was the Harvard College-educated son of "Mayflower" passenger and Pilgrim leader Edward Winslow and was Governor from 1673 to 1680.
 The most significant event during his term in office was King Philip's War, which created great havoc for both the English and Indian populations and changed New England forever.
 Josiah was the first native born governor of an American Colony. List of Argentine operas
This is a list of operas by Argentine composers.
 Argentina's first native born opera composer was Francisco Hargreaves (1849-1900) who composed "La gatta bianca" (1875) and "Los estudiantes de Bologna" (1897), followed by Zenón Rolón (1856-1902) who composed several operas as well as operettas and zarzuelas.
 The works of many of the composers from this generation were first performed outside Argentina.
 Native Argentine opera was to develop much more with the massive European (mainly Italian) immigration in the late 19th century and even more with the opening of the Teatro Colón in 1908 where most of the 20th century operas listed here had their world premieres.
 Some of the first operas to treat Argentine subjects or national themes were Arturo Berutti's "Pampa" (1897) based on the life of Juan Moreira and "Yupanki" (1899) based on the life of Inca warrior Manqu Inka Yupanki.
 Also notable in this genre were Felipe Boero's "Tucumán" (1918) set during the Battle of Tucumán and "El matrero" (1929).
 Considered by many to be the quintessential Argentine opera, "El matrero" had a libretto based on gaucho folk tradition and incorporated Argentine folk melodies and a traditional gaucho dance.
 The Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca was also the inspiration for several Argentine operas.
 His plays, "La zapatera prodigiosa" and "Bodas de sangre", were the basis of operas by Juan José Castro, while Osvaldo Golijov's 2003 opera "Ainadamar" is based on events in the playwright's life. William Read Miller
William Read Miller (November 23, 1823November 29, 1887) was the 12th Governor of the State of Arkansas.
 Born in Batesville, Arkansas; Miller was Arkansas's first native born Governor.
 Serving two terms in the turbulent period after Reconstruction, Miller's four-year administration marked the beginnings of New Departure Democrats in Arkansas.
 Running on a platform of economic growth via reconciliation between whites and freedmen, Miller often was opposed by members of his own party during the infancy of the Lost Cause ideology.
 His plans to pay back a large state debt including the Holford Bonds, valued at $14 million ($ million today), were often interrupted by racial violence, and his support for public schools and universities was often combated by those in his own party. Smokey Robinson &amp; The Miracles: 1957–1972
1957-1972 is a 1972 double album by The Miracles on Motown Records' Tamla label.
 This two-record set is noted as the group's final series of live concerts with original lead singer Smokey Robinson, recorded over a period of three days, July 14–16, during the 1972 National Parks Centennial, at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Washington, D.C., and charted at #75 on the "Billboard" Top 200 Album chart, and at #14 on its R&B Album chart.
 During the show, Smokey's wife, original Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson, who stopped touring with the group in 1964 (but continued recording with them), reunited with the Miracles on stage for the first time in eight years.
 As a celebration of the group's fifteen years together, The Miracles made this an "all request" show, where audience members could choose which of the group's long string of hits they wanted performed.
 Also, at the end of the concert, Miracles fans were introduced to the group's new lead singer, Billy Griffin.
 According to Smokey's autobiography, "Smokey: Inside My Life", The Miracles' final concert was videotaped in movie form, but was never publicly released.
 However, "1957-1972" was released on CD originally in 1990, and re-released again in 2004 along with The Miracles' 1969 "Live" album in the 2004 Motown/Hip-O Select release "Smokey Robinson and The Miracles: The Live Collection".
