Erie County is a populated county in the U. S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 919,040; the county seat is Buffalo. The county's name comes from Lake Erie, it was named by European colonists for the regional Iroquoian language-speaking Erie tribe of Native Americans, who lived south and east of the lake before 1654. Since the late 20th century, Erie County has been considered part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area; the county's southern part is known as the Southtowns. When counties were established by the English colonial government in the Province of New York in 1683, present-day Erie County was part of Indian territory occupied by Iroquoian-speaking peoples, it was administered as part of New York colony. Significant European-American settlement did not begin until after the United States had gained independence with the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, they forced the Iroquois to cede most of their lands. About 1800 the Holland Land Company, formed by Americans and Dutch associates, extinguished Indian claims by purchasing the land from New York, acquired the title to the territory of what are today the eight western-most counties of New York, surveyed their holdings, established towns, began selling lots to individuals.

The state was eager to have farms and businesses developed. At this time, all of western New York was included in Ontario County; as the population increased, the state legislature created Genesee County in 1802 out of part of Ontario County. In 1808, Niagara County was created out of Genesee County. In 1821, Erie County was created out of Niagara County, encompassing all the land between Tonawanda Creek and Cattaraugus Creek; the first towns formed in present-day Erie County were the Town of Willink. Clarence comprised the northern portion of Erie county, Willink the southern part. Clarence is still a distinct town, but Willink was subdivided into other towns; when Erie County was established in 1821, it consisted of the towns of Amherst, Boston, Collins, Eden, Hamburg, Holland and Wales. The county has a number of houses and other properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Erie County, New York. In 1861, the hamlet of Town Line, in the Town of Lancaster, voted 85 to 40 to secede from the Union and join the Confederate States of America.

It sent five soldiers for the Confederate Army, did not rejoin the Union until January 1946. The Town Line Fire Department supports the slogan "Last of the Rebels", due to their Confederate ties. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,227 square miles, of which 1,043 square miles is land and 184 square miles is water.

Part of the industrial area that has included Buffalo, it is the most populous county in upstate New York outside of the New York City metropolitan area; the county lies on the international border between the United States and Canada, bordering the Province of Ontario. The northern border of the county is Tonawanda Creek. Part of the southern border is Cattaraugus Creek. Other major streams include Buffalo Creek, Cayuga Creek, Cazenovia Creek, Scajaquada Creek, Eighteen Mile Creek, Ellicott Creek; the county's northern half, including Buffalo and its suburbs, is flat and rises up from the lake.

The southern half, known as the Southtowns, is much hillier. It has the northwesternmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains; the highest elevation in the county is a hill in the Town of Sardinia that tops out at around 1,940 feet above sea level.

Ahmed ʻUrabi or Orabi Pasha. The first political and military leader in Egypt to rise from the fellahin, ʻUrabi participated in an 1879 mutiny that developed into a general revolt against the Anglo-French dominated administration of Khedive Tewfik, he was promoted to Tewfik's cabinet and began reforms of Egypt's military and civil administrations, but the demonstrations in Alexandria of 1882 prompted a British bombardment and invasion that deposed ʻUrabi and his allies in favor of a British occupation. He was born in 1841 in the village of Hirriyat Razna near Zagazig in the Sharqia Governorate 80 kilometres to the north of Cairo. ʻUrabi was the son of a village leader and one of the wealthier members of the community, which allowed him to receive a decent education. After completing elementary education in his home village, he enrolled at Al-Azhar University to complete his schooling in 1849, he entered the army and moved up through the ranks, reaching lieutenant colonel by age 20. The modern education and military service of ʻUrabi, from a fellah, or peasant background, would not have been possible without the modernising reforms of Khedive Ismail, who had done much to eliminate the barriers between the bulk of the Egyptian populace and the ruling elite, who were drawn from the military castes that had ruled Egypt for centuries.

Ismail abolished the exclusive access to the Egyptian and Sudanese military ranks by Egyptians of Balkan and Turkish origin. Ismail conscripted soldiers and recruited students from throughout Egypt and Sudan regardless of class and ethnic backgrounds in order to form a "modern" and "national" Egyptian military and bureaucratic elite class. Without these reforms, ʻUrabi's rise through the ranks of the military would have been far more restricted, he was a galvanizing speaker. Because of his peasant origins, he was at the time, is still today, viewed as an authentic voice of the Egyptian people. Indeed, he was known by his followers as'El Wahid', when the British poet and explorer Wilfrid Blunt went to meet him, he found the entrance of ʻUrabi's house was blocked with supplicants; when Khedive Tewfik issued a new law preventing peasants from becoming officers, ʻUrabi led the group protesting the preference shown to aristocratic officers. ʻUrabi condemned severe prevalent racial discrimination of Egyptians in the army.

He and his followers, who included most of the army, were successful and the law was repealed. In 1879 they formed the Egyptian Nationalist Party in the hopes of fostering a stronger national identity, he and his allies in the army joined with the reformers in February 1882 to demand change. This revolt known as the ʻUrabi Revolt, was inspired by his desire for social justice for the Egyptians based on equal standing before the law. With the support of the peasants as well, he launched a broader effort to try to wrest Egypt and Sudan from foreign control, to end the absolutist regime of the Khedive, himself subject to Anglo-French control under the rules of the Caisse de la Dette Publique; the Arab-Egyptian deputies demanded a constitution. The revolt spread to express resentment of the undue influence of foreigners, including the predominantly Turko-Circassian aristocracy. ʻUrabi was first promoted to Bey made under-secretary of war, a member of the cabinet. Plans were developed to create a parliamentary assembly.

During the last months of the revolt, it was claimed that ʻUrabi held the office of Prime Minister of the hastily created common law government based on popular sovereignty. Feeling threatened, Khedive Tewfik requested assistance against ʻUrabi from the Ottoman Sultan, to whom Egypt and Sudan still owed technical fealty; the Sublime Porte hesitated in responding to the request. The British were concerned that ʻUrabi would default on Egypt's massive debt and that he might try to regain control of the Suez Canal; therefore and the French dispatched warships to Egypt to intimidate the nationalists. Tewfik fled to their protection; the strong naval presence spurred fears of an imminent invasion. The French fleet was recalled to France; the British warships in the harbor opened fire on the city's gun emplacements after the Egyptians ignored an ultimatum from Admiral Seymour to remove them. In September a British army landed in Alexandria but failed to reach Cairo after being checked at the Battle of Kafr El Dawwar.

Another army, led by Sir Garnet Wolseley, landed in the Canal Zone and on 13 September 1882 they defeated ʻUrabi's army at the Battle of Tell El Kebir. From there, the British cavalry advanced on Cairo which surrendered without a shot being fired, as did ʻUrabi and the other nationalist leaders. ʻUrabi was tried by the restored Khedivate for rebellion on 3 December 1882. He was defended by British solicitor Richard Alexander Meyrick Broadley. According to Elizabeth Thompson, ʻUrabi's defense stressed the idea that despite the fact that he had been illegally incarcerated by Riyad Pasha and the Khedive Tawfik he had still responded in a manner allowed under Egyptian law and with the hopes that the khedivate remain after his intervention, thus demonstrating loyalty to the Egyptian people as required by his duties. In accordance with an understanding made with the British representative, Lord Dufferin, ʻUrabi pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death, but t

September Song is a 1963 album by Jimmy Durante, with arrangements by Roy Bargy. The album was reviewed by Greg Adams for Allmusic who wrote that "Mixing Durante's utterly unique voice with lush strings and a vocal chorus, September Song is a left-field masterpiece full of wistful and affecting performances. Durante was by no means a technically accomplished vocalist, but he negotiated the sessions with aplomb and created a piece of work different from, but just as charming as, the comedy that had made him a star".

Rosa Sonneschein was the founder and editor of The American Jewess magazine. It was the first English-language periodical targeted to American Jewish women. Sonneschein was born in Prostejov, Moravia in 1847 to Hirsch Bär Fassel. In 1864, she married Rabbi Solomon Sonneschein and moved with his congregational posts to Warasdin, New York, to St. Louis, MO, they had four children: Ben, Fanny and Monroe, who would in his life contribute to the magazine. Sonneschein was an active rebbetzin in St. Louis and helped lead ladies' meetings, choral societies, founded the Pioneers, a Jewish women's literary society. Rosa and Solomon divorced in 1893, their prominence in the community and the rarity of divorce at the time caused a sensation reported on in the New York Times. The divorce was granted to Rabbi Sonneschein on the grounds of desertion and thus she was left without alimony, leading her to enterprise on her journalistic skills to support herself, she died March 1932 in St. Louis. Sonneschein was a moderate liberal, sympathetic to Zionism and believed in synagogal rights for women.

In 1880, she wrote an essay "The Pioneers". In May 1893, she participated on Press Congress panel at the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago, where she spoke on "Newspaperwomen in Austria"." Here she described the need for a magazine for American Jewish women. In the year, she attended the Jewish Women’s Congress at the same Exposition, won support from prominent middle-class Jewish women interested in literary and religious questions; this same congress formed the National Council of Jewish Women, to which Sonneschein lent her support. In April 1895, she edited a new magazine called The American Jewess. From her Editor's Desk column, Soneschein used the magazine as a platform to advocate for her political and religious views, she urged NCJW members to fight for religious equality within their synagogues, criticized the New Woman ideal, was one of the first journalists to champion a Jewish homeland in the British Mandate of Palestine. She was a great admirer of Theodor Herzl and he first wrote for an American audience in her magazine.

She was sent as a delegate to the First Zionist Conference in Basel in 1897. In 1898, she stayed on as editor. Over time, she grew frustrated and publicly critical of NCJW, because the organization did not take up her passion for Zionism or her religious goals; the American Jewess continued to struggle financially and its last issue was published in August 1899. Sonneschein continued to write, but she did not stay involved in the Zionist movement or Jewish women's activism. "The American Jewess."
