Charles Colt Yates (18681944) was born in Binghamton, New York. He received a BS in Physics and an MS in Civil Engineering from the Case School of Applied Science (now Case Western Reserve University) before joining the US Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1892. Yates' work with the USC&GS took him around the US and abroad; his work included observing the earth's surface density in Hawaii; surveying Lake Pontchartrain, the AlaskaYukon border, and the Aleutian Islands; surveying and ship-building in the Philippines and Hong Kong; and surveying the oyster bars in Maryland and Delaware. Offered here is a large collection of photographic and written material belonging to Yates. The photographs are almost entirely family shots. Subjects are generally identified verso by their initials, and include Yates; his grandparents, James Dennison Colt and Abigail Weber; his parents, Walter Lloyd Yates and Charlotte Colt; and especially his brother Alonzo Colt Yates, sister-in-law Elizabeth Deming, and their children Evelyn and Lloyd Deming Yates. The written material relates to Yates' work and includes incoming correspondence, particularly work assignments sent by the Survey's various superintendents; Yates' drafts of outgoing correspondence; field expense formsproviding a look at the more quotidian activities of the Survey's researchersand departmental circulars; resumes and applications; notes and article drafts; and newspaper clippings. The latter generally relate to either the 1916 controversy around Woodrow Wilson's scientific appointments, particularly of E. Lester Jones, or to the 1916 and 1928 Merchant Marine Acts. The merchant marine issue preoccupied Yates as several of his letters and articles concern the subject; other of his articles are an 1898 "Report on the Establishment of a Self Registering Tide Gauge at Morehead City, N.C" and a 1914 report on oceanography. Early in his career, Yates apparently wanted out of the Survey, writing to several different people seeking a teaching position and explaining that his "desire to become a teacher, and ultimately a professor, is so great, that I am willing to make a considerable sacrifice" in terms of pay (July 16, 1896). Of course, there would have been upsides to leaving the Survey, as working conditions at the time were far from ritzy; for instance, fellow officer Alex S. Christie wrote of the employee at the Sandy Hook tidal station in New Jersey: "Where now located, on the west side of this sand spit, the observer is completely isolated and threatens to resign. He has no love for nature, and no resources within himself. I could be very happy there." (July 26, 1892) Similarly, Superintendent William Ward Duffield attempted to convince Yates that the conditions on the Alaska-Yukon boundary survey were more tolerable than he might think: "It might pertinently be added here that the American Transportation and Trading Company has a number of stations on the Yukon and carries a large stock of goods including drugs, etc. at points near the boundary. The country is better supplied with means of existence and communication than was supposed sometime ago." (February 29, 1896) As references for a teaching position, Yates offered his Case classmate and highly decorated electrical engineer Comfort Avery Adams, then at Harvard, and Case president Cady Staley. Yates corresponded occasionally with Staley, including helping him with research by, among other things, giving him honest advice on the use of a theodolite: "From a personal experience: to approach a Vertical Circle without ever having seen one and having had it explained by a textbook is not only awkward but a[n] embarrassing experience and perhaps even a disastrous experience when the proper approach of the level correction is reached." (February 24, 1897) Another Case affiliate with whom Yates corresponded was Albert A. Michelson, then at the University of Chicago. Michelson is best known for the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment, a test of the speed of light performed at Case with Edward W. Morley and the assistance of Comfort Adams, then a student. Yates had sent Michelson an observation of some kindthough he did not save the draft of this outgoing letterand Michelson responds with several pages of reasoning: "I scarcely think it likely that refraction is the cause of the color observed but even if this were the case it would not help matters much. The angle subtended by the spectrum could certainly not be less than 10" if a consistent color could be appreciated [.] Nevertheless I would recommend that the color phenomenon be carefully observed and recorded for it may throw light on other matters of importance even tho not of immediate practical use." (March 8, 1896) Yates also kept up with his Case classmates; several letter drafts in the archive are addressed "dear Classmates" and seem to be part of a semi-regular correspondence where the former classmates would update each other on their careers and lives, though only Yates' outgoing mail is represented. Yates writes a particularly interesting letter to his classmates describing his time in the Philippines and Hong Kong, the surveying of which had become part of the USC&GS's duties after the US assumed control of the territory: "I was just leaving for a surveying cruise along the south west coast of Samar Island the island General 'Jakey' Smith and brother officers made so famous by their approved 'water cure' and other ancient methods of obtaining information from the natives. We had an excellent Thanksgiving's dinner in Jakey's former residence the 'bungalow' at Tacloban, and although many of his officers were still there, I feel quite certain that water was not mentioned but their liquid method of obtaining information was probably even more effective. No doubt the natives of Samar are well subdued, at least we judged so from the fact that when they saw any of our boats put off from the ship, they immediately abandoned house and home.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - She has twenty days to save her mother's life.Elena Vance is out of time. Out of money. Out of options. Her gambling father has vanished, leaving behind a mountain of debt and a team of ruthless collectors who won't take no for an answer. They've given her an ultimatum: pay what her father owes, or lose everything-her mother's medical care, her freedom, her life.With her mother's surgery looming and nowhere left to turn, Elena answers a mysterious job listing at a remote mountain lodge. The pay is impossible. The location is isolated. The owner is a ghost-a man locals whisper about but never see. A man they say is dangerous.She doesn't care. She'll take anything.He has ten years of darkness he can't escape.Cole MacIntyre wants to be left alone. Scarred by war, haunted by the ambush that killed his entire team, he's spent a decade hiding from the world in his mountain fortress. He doesn't want company. He doesn't want connection. He doesn't want to feel anything ever again.He definitely doesn't want the desperate, beautiful stranger who shows up at his door in the middle of a storm, asking for a job she has no business taking.But she's not leaving. She's stubborn and brave and she sees past his scars to the man beneath-the man he thought he'd buried long ago. And against every instinct, he lets her stay.When a blizzard traps them together, the walls come down.As the snow piles higher and the nights grow colder, two broken souls discover something neither expected: understanding. Acceptance. A connection that defies every reason it shouldn't exist. She teaches him that he's still capable of feeling. He teaches her that she doesn't have to carry her burdens alone.But the collectors are still coming. The past is still hunting them. And when the truth about Elena's father surfaces-a secret far darker than simple debt, a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of power-they'll have to decide if the love they've found is worth fighting for.Because some roads lead to ruin. And some lead home.She came to him with nothing. He gave her everything. Now they'll risk it all for a chance at forever.…
