In 1873, he went on the Yellowstone Expedition. In 1874, he went on the Black Hills Expedition and took part in the Battles of Tongue River and the Little Big Horn. Returning to Massachusetts, he was pastor of the first Dorchester Boston Parish (1876-1881), editor of the Christian Register and American representative to the International Prison Congress in 1895. In 1897, he was elected as a Republican to the 55th United States Congress, serving until 1899.

An unsuccessful candidate for re-election to the 56th US Congress, he became secretary of the New York Prison Association, until his death from pneumonia at age 69 in New York City. He had lots of interests and talents included musical composition and singing oratorios, studying the Greeks, metal crafting, writing poetry, camping, travel, and foreign languages.

Walter Bradford Barrows was born on January 10, 1855, in Grantville, Massachusetts.

He was an American ornithologist. After graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1876, Barrows worked as a science instructor at colleges in both Argentina and the United States, including Wesleyan University. He later became a Professor of Zoology and Biology at Michigan State Agricultural College. His fieldwork in South America was documented in the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club and The Auk. In 1886, Barrows was appointed an ornithologist in the Biological Survey section at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a position he held until 1894. His 1912 book, “Michigan Bird Life,” is regarded as the most comprehensive work on the subject ever written.

Sir Charles Barry was one of the preeminent British architects of the nineteenth century. His work can be considered the epitome of historicism, as he designed buildings in the Gothic, Greek, and Renaissance revival styles. He is best known for his competition-winning designs for the Houses of Parliament in London (1836) and the designs of private clubs such as the Manchester Atheneum (1836-1839) and the Reform Club in London (1837-1841).

English composer and conductor John Barry Prendergast spent his early years working in cinemas his father owned which influenced his musical taste and interests. He composed the scores for 11 of the James Bond films between 1963 and 1987, and also arranged and performed the James Bond Theme to the first film in the series, 1962's Dr. No. He wrote the Grammy- and Academy Award-winning scores to the films Dances with Wolves and Out of Africa, as well as The Scarlet Letter, The Cotton Club, The Tamarind Seed, Mary, Queen of Scots, Game of Death, and the theme for the British television cult series The Persuaders! In a career spanning over 50 years he was appointed OBE for services to music.
Barry's music, variously brassy and moody, achieved very wide appeal. His love for the Russian romantic composers is often reflected in his music; in his Bond scores he unites this with brass-heavy jazz writing. His use of strings, lyricism, half-diminished chords, and complex key shifting provides melancholy contrast – in his scores this is often heard in variations of the title songs that are used to underscore plot development. As Barry matured, the Bond scores became more lushly melodic.
Barry received many awards for his work, including five Academy Awards and a BAFTA Award for the Best Film Music as well as two Grammy Awards and ten Golden Globe Awards nominations, winning once for Best Original Score for Out of Africa. He became a Fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and in 2005 was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
Apart from the Bond films, his body of work includes some 90 other film scores, some dozen television film scores, five musicals, and about a dozen singles.
