Sylum Inspiration: Johnathon Francis D’Artagnan

Sylum: Member

Johnathan followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the French Army; his first day on the job didn’t go quite as well as it could have when he insulted three high ranking officers. (Dilios Note: This famous meeting became infamous when Dumas took it and put it in his book).  The three took John under their wing and trained him to be a better, more patient warrior.

Shortly after joining he met Constance Bonacieux, a Dutchess who had been betrothed to another Duke. He whisked her away and married secretly, with his Commanding officer, Nicolaus, as witness.

Nathan, her father, still hasn’t forgiven Shep for stealing his daughter and Nico for allowing him.

After his third child was born, he was mortally wounded on a mission. Nicolaus asked him if he wanted to live and John answered yes, not wanting to leave his family behind.

Sylum Charity: No Kid Hungry

At No Kid Hungry, that’s our promise. If it sounds simple, that’s because it is.

That doesn’t mean ending childhood hunger is easy. We know what works, and we’ve made extraordinary progress for kids and families.

But the job isn’t done, and won’t be done until we’ve met that promise and every single child in America has the food they need to grow up healthy and strong.

Information: No Kid Hungry

This is one of the charities I donate to monthly.   No one should go hungry, and kids are especially vulnerable.

Sylum Inspiration: William Tecumseh Sherman

Sylum: Member

 

Born Tecumseh Sherman, his father named him after the famed Shawnee Warrior. Tecumseh was one of eleven children. Following the sudden death of his father, his mother was unable to take care of all the children, and sent him to live with Thomas Ewing. Thomas’ wife Maria, a devoted Catholic, wouldn’t allow Tecumseh into her household until he was properly baptized and was renamed William.

At age 16 he received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the beginning of a long career in the military. In 1850 he married Eleanor Ewing, the daughter of Thomas and Marie, and they had eight children, all raised by their mother’s strict Catholic tendencies. In 1853 he left the military after pressure from his wife’s family, and moved to San Francisco to become a banker. The stress of banking and the climate finally led to Sherman leaving and taking up banking in Kansas. By 1859 he had taken the position as Superintendent of Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he resigned his commission and moved North.

He first saw combat at the First Battle of Bull Run (also known as the Battle of Mananas). His wounds and the defeat by the Confederacy led him to question himself and the war. After spending time to recover, he was assigned to General Hiram Ulysses Grant. The two struck up a strong friendship which changed the course of the War.

When Grant broke his leg entering into New Orleans, they were taken in by Sylum Manor. When the Manor was attacked by Raiders, Sherman was mortally wounded. Jack Aubrey, knowing the importance this man had on the war and on Grant, asked if he wanted to be turned. Sherman consented.
