To answer #3: "At bay" has nothing to do with railroads. It means he was cornered, like a pursued animal. Textorus (talk) 18:44, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Metaphorically, it means "rendered harmless" or "put on the defensive". This may have to do with his work attempting to regulate rail firms, in which he faced opposition from various parties. Marco polo (talk) 18:58, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

(2) He's not listed on this "Complete Roster". I'm a bit intrigued by Elvira Adams though. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:49, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Number 1: The speech was at the University of South Carolina in Columbia on January 16, 1913.--Cam (talk) 03:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I should note that in this context Founders' Day refers to a holiday specific to that university (near the anniversary of its founding).--Cam (talk) 03:53, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Regarding #2: List of United States Colored Troops Civil War units has 6 "colored" cavalry units listed, only the 5th has an article. He could have served in another. However, in the Civil War, most regiments were organized geographically, and the 5th United States Colored Cavalry was organized in Kentucky; it would have been somewhat unusual for a Massachusetts officer to serve in it. Maybe he served in one of the other cavalry units. --Jayron32 04:11, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

According to this list, there is a Charles F. Adams Jr. listed for the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry, and a Charles F. Adams (no Jr.) listed for the 5th Colored Cavalry. There are also numerous other Charles F. Adams entries and many Charles Adams (no middle initial) listed. It is entirely unclear how many of these entries refer to the Charles F. Adams, Jr. we are interested in here. --Jayron32 04:18, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

This book I found on Google Books says that he was a brevet brigadier general in command of the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry, which was a unit of African American troops. This appears to be a different unit than the 5th Colored Cavalry. That may be the source of confusion. --Jayron32 04:29, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks awfully to all ! T.y., Arapaima (d) 10 novembre 2011 à 12:27 (CET)[répondre]
