This is the story of Cassius Marcellus Clay not that Cassius Clay, the heavyweight fighter and luminous worldwide presence best known as Muhammad Ali. This story is about the original Cassius Clay the 1. Republican and larger than life American eccentric. It was for that Cassius Clay, who died on July 2. Kentucky plantation house where he had been born 9. Alis father and, by extension, Ali himself were named. A firebrand publisher, Yale educated lawyer, Kentucky state legislator, major general in the Union Army, survivor of multiple assassination attempts and the United States minister to Russia under Presidents Lincoln and Johnson, General Clay was as well known for his private activities as for his public ones. His obituary in The New York Times, published on July 2. American news obituaries of the era traditionally staid, reverential documents and, very likely, of any era. He was found desperately ill, and has had every care, the opening paragraph reads. His children, long estranged by reason of his eccentricities, were again able to be with him, and were at the bedside when death ensued. Things get more delicious from there. There was General Clays prolific dueling, which left him with a tangle of scars on his face and body but left his opponents far worse off He was said to have slain more men in duels than anyone else in the country. On one occasion, caught without his pistol, General Clay was shot above the heart by a would be assassin. He forestalled further ado by slicing off the assailants nose and ears with a Bowie knife. Then there was General Clays precipitate divorce from his first wife of 4. Mary Jane Warfield, and his equally precipitate second marriage made, he insisted, on populist political grounds to a 1. He was 8. 4 at the time. In 1. Miss Warfield, a member of an aristocratic family of slave holders, the Times obituary said. Years afterward, when he had become an ardent disciple of Tolsto, he came to the conclusion that he ought to wed a daughter of the people. And so he did, taking Dora Richardson as his bride in 1. Gen. Clay Weds Pretty Dora, a headline in The Times proclaimed. His Children Were Unable to Prevent Their Aged Parents Marriage. Young Dora, who evidently had little say in the matter of her betrothal, did not take kindly to being yoked to a man more than five times her age. She ran away repeatedly from home and from the boarding school to which her husband sent her. The fact that he supplied her with the most beautiful French gowns and lavished money upon her, she did not consider compensation for the teasing she got at the hands of her fellow pupils, The Times said. In two months he had to take her back home, still uneducated. After four years of Doras comings and goings, which were avidly covered in the newspapers, General Clay divorced her. She remarried a worthless young mountaineer, The Times reported, but after he was killed in a railway accident, the general tried vigorously to win back his peasant wife, as he fondly called her. In this endeavor, unlike most others, he did not succeed. The youngest son of Gen. Green Clay and the former Sally Lewis, Cassius Marcellus Clay was born on Oct. White Hall, his familys mansion near Richmond, Ky. His father 1. 75. Revolutionary War and was a general in the War of 1. Henry Clay, the United States senator and statesman, was a cousin. Both of Cassius parents were from the Southern landed gentry, making the family among the wealthiest landowners in the state. At Yale, Cassius Clay heard a speech by the famed abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and was converted to the cause. Returning home after earning a law degree in 1. Lexington, served three terms in the Kentucky General Assembly and was a captain in the 1st Kentucky Cavalry in the Mexican War. In 1. 84. 4, he freed his own slaves and the next year started The True American, an emancipationist newspaper published in Lexington. His proposals for gradually ending slavery, which he also promulgated in public lectures, did not go over well in Kentucky. He kept a cannon on hand to protect the newspaper office from looming mobs and weathered several more attempts on his life. General Clay, who in the 1. Republican Party, was a friend and staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he organized the Cassius M. Clay Battalion, a corps of several hundred volunteers charged with protecting the White House. In 1. 86. 1, Lincoln appointed him minister to Russia, a post he held through the following year and again from 1. Dispatched to St. Petersburg, General Clay was instrumental in brokering the deal that in 1. United States purchase Alaska. The generals later life was a sorry state of affairs. Barricaded in White Hall with a veritable arsenal beside him, he pined for the faithless Dora and worried obsessively that enemies, real and imagined, were coming to kill him. Photo. In 1. 90. 3, The New York Times ran two articles pondering the level of General Clays mental health. CreditGen. Clay May Be Insane, a headline in The Times declared on July 4, 1. Gen. Clay Decreed Insane. Though his sight became so much impaired that he could not shoot any longer, The Times reported in his obituary, he kept plenty of firearms at his elbow, and kept trained from a porthole in the wall the same brass cannon he had caused to be built to protect his printing office. But the vital legacy of General Clays early life has endured down the years. He fathered a string of children as many as 1. St. Petersburg mistress. Two daughters, Mary Barr Clay 1. Laura Clay 1. 84. In 1. 85. 3, he donated the land for what became Berea College in Berea, Ky. Established two years later, it was the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, open to blacks and to women from its inception. General Clay was buried in Richmond Cemetery, in Richmond, Ky., and his funeral was newsworthy for the racially mixed crowd in attendance. Never was a more striking scene witnessed on the way to Richmond, where the funeral services were to be held, a contemporary newspaper account read. From every humble Negro cottage along the roadside and at every cross roads, the mothers and large children carrying those who were too little to walk, the Negroes were lined up to pay their last respects to the man whom they honored as the Abraham Lincoln of Kentucky. In the end, then, its garrulous chronicle of its subjects peccadilloes notwithstanding, the obituary of Cassius Marcellus Clay is every inch a requiem for a heavyweight. Read the obituary Cassius M.

A French army under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition a British led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blcher, Prince of Wahlstatt. Upon Napoleons return to power in March 1. Seventh Coalition, and began to mobilize armies. Wellington and Blchers armies were cantoned close to the north eastern border of France. Napoleon chose to attack them separately in the hope of destroying them before they could join in a co ordinated invasion of France with other members of the coalition. Napoleon successfully attacked the bulk of the Prussian army at the Battle of Ligny with his main force, while at the same time a portion of the French army attacked an Allied army at the Battle of Quatre Bras. Despite holding his ground at Quatre Bras, the defeat of the Prussians forced Wellington to withdraw to Waterloo. Napoleon sent a third of his forces to pursue the Prussians, who had withdrawn parallel to Wellington. This resulted in the separate and simultaneous Battle of Wavre with the Prussian rear guard. Upon learning that the Prussian army was able to support him, Wellington decided to offer battle on the Mont Saint Jeanescarpment, across the Brussels road. Here he withstood repeated attacks by the French throughout the afternoon, aided by the progressively arriving Prussians. In the evening Napoleon committed his last reserves to a desperate final attack, which was narrowly beaten back. With the Prussians breaking through on the French right flank, Wellingtons Anglo allied army counter attacked in the centre, and the French army was routed. Waterloo was the decisive engagement of the Waterloo Campaign and Napoleons last. According to Wellington, the battle was the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life. 1. Napoleon abdicated four days later, and on 7 July coalition forces entered Paris. The defeat at Waterloo ended Napoleons rule as Emperor of the French, and marked the end of his Hundred Days return from exile. This ended the First French Empire, and set a chronological milestone between serial European wars and decades of relative peace. The battlefield is located in the municipalities of Braine lAlleud and Lasne, about 1. Brussels, and about 2 kilometres 1. Waterloo. The site of the battlefield today is dominated by a large monument, the Lions Mound. As this mound was constructed from earth taken from the battlefield itself, the contemporary topography of the battlefield near the mound has not been preserved. Preludeedit. The strategic situation in Western Europe in 1. Frenchmen faced a coalition of about 8. Napoleon was forced to leave 2. Western France to reduce a royalist insurrection. On 1. 3 March 1. 81. Napoleon reached Paris, the powers at the Congress of Viennadeclared him an outlaw. Four days later, the United Kingdom, Russia, Austria, and Prussia mobilised armies to defeat Napoleon. Critically outnumbered, Napoleon knew that once his attempts at dissuading one or more members of the Seventh Coalition from invading France had failed, his only chance of remaining in power was to attack before the coalition mobilised. 1. Had Napoleon succeeded in destroying the existing coalition forces south of Brussels before they were reinforced, he might have been able to drive the British back to the sea and knock the Prussians out of the war. Crucially, this would have bought him time to recruit and train more men before turning his armies against the Austrians and Russians. An additional consideration for Napoleon was that a French victory might cause French speaking sympathisers in Belgium to launch a friendly revolution. Also, coalition troops in Belgium were largely second line, as many units were of dubious quality and loyalty, and most of the British veterans of the Peninsular War had been sent to North America to fight in the War of 1. A map of the Waterloo campaign. Wellingtons initial dispositions were intended to counter the threat of Napoleon enveloping the Coalition armies by moving through Mons to the south west of Brussels. This would have pushed Wellington closer to Blcher, but may have cut Wellingtons communications with his base at Ostend. In order to delay Wellingtons deployment, Napoleon spread false intelligence which suggested that Wellingtons supply chain from the channel ports would be cut. By June, Napoleon had raised a total army strength of about 3. The force at his disposal at Waterloo was less than one third that size, but the rank and file were nearly all loyal and experienced soldiers. Napoleon divided his army into a left wing commanded by Marshal Ney, a right wing commanded by Marshal Grouchy and a reserve under his command although all three elements remained close enough to support one another. Crossing the frontier near Charleroi before dawn on 1. June, the French rapidly overran Coalition outposts, securing Napoleons central position between Wellingtons and Blchers armies. He hoped this would prevent them from combining, and he would be able to destroy first the Prussians army, then Wellingtons. Only very late on the night of 1. June was Wellington certain that the Charleroi attack was the main French thrust. In the early hours of 1. June, at the Duchess of Richmonds ball in Brussels, he received a dispatch from the Prince of Orange and was shocked by the speed of Napoleons advance. He hastily ordered his army to concentrate on Quatre Bras, where the Prince of Orange, with the brigade of Prince Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, was holding a tenuous position against the soldiers of Neys left wing. Neys orders were to secure the crossroads of Quatre Bras, so that he could later swing east and reinforce Napoleon if necessary. Ney found the crossroads of Quatre Bras lightly held by the Prince of Orange, who repelled Neys initial attacks but was gradually driven back by overwhelming numbers of French troops. First reinforcements, and then Wellington arrived. He took command and drove Ney back, securing the crossroads by early evening, too late to send help to the Prussians, who had already been defeated. Meanwhile on 1. 6 June, Napoleon attacked and defeated Blchers Prussians at the Battle of Ligny using part of the reserve and the right wing of his army. The Prussian centre gave way under heavy French assaults, but the flanks held their ground. The Prussian retreat from Ligny went uninterrupted and seemingly unnoticed by the French. The bulk of their rearguard units held their positions until about midnight, and some elements did not move out until the following morning, ignored by the French. Crucially, the Prussians did not retreat to the east, along their own lines of communication. Instead, they, too, fell back northwardsparallel to Wellingtons line of march, still within supporting distance and in communication with him throughout. The Prussians rallied on Blows IV Corps, which had not been engaged at Ligny and was in a strong position south of Wavre. With the Prussian retreat from Ligny, Wellingtons position at Quatre Bras was untenable. The next day he withdrew northwards, to a defensive position he had reconnoitred the previous yearthe low ridge of Mont Saint Jean, south of the village of Waterloo and the Sonian Forest. Napoleon, with the reserves, made a late start on 1. June and joined Ney at Quatre Bras at 1. Wellingtons army but found the position empty. The French pursued Wellingtons retreating army to Waterloo however, due to bad weather, mud and the head start that Napoleons tardy advance had allowed Wellington, apart from a cavalry action at Genappe, there was no substantial engagement.
