the deck log shows that the original enlistment papers were incorrect, that robert williams was indeed a fireman aboard the san jacinto. that's also a william bryan who is aboard the ship, but we don't know that that's our william bryan. if that was william bryan,he was a very healthy man. he was take ton the assistant surgeon for a throat infection and for boils. other than that, he was well and hardy. we see on march 6th of 1856, in the medical journal, robert williams was treated for exhaustion or dehydration. we see he was treated again -- we have a robert williams who was 26 years old and born in wales and if you go to the previous slide, he was 27. so his age bounces around considerably. in hong kong, he was treated for lymphositis, soreness. on november 2nd of 1857, we see rheumatismis in the calf of the leg. we know that he had arthritis. on march 30th, 1857, he is noted as being 36 years old. there was no other robert williams on this ship, much less a fireman born in wales. it's tempting to think that the man was in so much maine pain that he would have shouted out his true,

and that's a known photo of robert williams. so as we go forward, the purpose of the facial reconstruction, of course, was to continue to maintain interest in the "monitor's" story. but there is a very practical purpose. and that is that 150 years has all but erased any first-person, emotional connection with these men. it's also probably erased the ability for somebody to look at a photograph and say that was my -- that certainly has erased the ability for them to say that's my grandfather. maybe great grandfather. maybe folks alive who might remember somebody that was their great grandfather. but in ten years since the recovery of these men, no one has come forward -- there have been a few -- but no one's come forward and said, i have dna i'd like to offer up that has been a match. and, in fact, the trail has gone somewhat cold. so the purpose of the reconstruction was to shake family trees, to get people around the world -- and i say around the world because there's a very high likelihood, for instance, if it's robert william

they were the early years of the black awareness, robert williams was active in south carolina. there was a period of time when the cot in the back of the store was a drop off for various disassembled armaments. sometimes someone we didn't know would put something under the mattress, making the cot unusable for several days. someone would come by and take the hardware away in a shopping bag and that would be it for a week or so. there was often a black photographer who would come to the shop with an empty shopping bag. when he left, he with leave in a zigzag and eventually get on a bus going south. >> i wanted to read a poem that was sent by the poet that i invited to the recent san francisco international poetry festival from iraq i've been in touch with for more than a year and a half. after the united states would not give him his visa, i asked him -- i told him about mutanabbi street and he wrote a poem and he wrote it in english, though he writes in, of course, in arabic. but this one he wrote in english. so i'll read it. one figure in the poem you should know, humbaba, whi

and they were commanded by two brothers, william howell and robert howell. william howell commanded the navy. and it was the largest projection of sea board power over a longer distance than any other than in the modern period. it was also the largest force that britain put into the field during the entire span of the war, which lasted longer than the civil war combined. eight years. washington's job under orders from the continental congress was to defend new york city, which he really felt to be indeci indefensible, particularly as the british commanded the sea. what followed was a total disaster for american arms. absolutely everything went wrong. one thing that went wrong was the health of the army. there was no camp discipline. in the civil war for every soldier killed at battle, one died of disease. in world war i, it was about one to one. in the american revolution, the ratio was 8 to 1. 8 deaths from disease to 1 in co combat. and that was for the british armies and the americans were much worse and washington's army began to waste away in the summer

i want to pick up on what people williams is talking about. it is roberts or kennedy that certainly could make the difference here. >> i think he was right about that. there were indication from roberts yesterday that his vote might potentially be in play here. he made comments on both sides of the ledger. kennedy people always thought of as being a swing vote and roberts didn't express himself very clearly in one direction or another and i think that's why people are thinking he might possibly be in play, but one of the reasons to think that he wouldn't simply side with the liberal justices alone is he has already never done that in the time he has been on the court. there have been no 5-4 cases where it was roberts with the liberal justices controlling a case, only one case even close to that and it was a 5-3 case. it never happened aside from that. it is not a position he likes to be in. he likes a consensus opinion. if he can't get a consensus opinion he usually sides with the conservative brethren on the court. >> you brought up a 5-4 decision. if we s
