Magomed Efendiev is the only author of memoirs about L. N. Tolstoy in the Dagestan memoir literature, because there are no other Dagestan memoirists in the literature about L. N. Tolstoy. M. Efendiev's memoirs contain many interesting details about the great writer and his family. In addition, the memoirs of Magomed Efendiev are also interesting in terms of a new look at the work of L. N. Tolstoy, in particular, for example, the similarity of some scenes of the trial in the novel «Resurrection» by L. N. Tolstoy and some aspects of the biography of M. Efendiev himself. Despite some controversial points, these memoirs are of undoubted value both for Dagestan literature in general, and for literature about L. N. Tolstoy.

In the article, the author offers fragmentary memories about Olha Petrivna Drahomanova-Kosach on the eve of the 170th anniversary of her birth. The methodological basis of the work is the complex approach to understanding Olena Pchilka’s personality in the light of the memories of her relatives, acquaintances, and colleagues. The relevance of the article is caused by the increasing interest of scholars in such memoirs in general and the need to study the life of Olena Pchilka as a writer, scientist, editor, publisher and an active public figure in particular. The author portrays Olha Drahomanova-Kosach emphasizing the basic human qualities of her character and with the aim of a further perspective of compiling her biography. The materials of the study will also help to deeper estimate Elena Pchilka, who is traditionally until nowadays, regarded only in the context of researching the life and literary activities of her daughter, Lesia Ukrainka. Keywords Olena Pchilka, biography, memoirs, contemporaries, family, portrait.

The key goal of this paper is the reconstruction of key moments in Stanislav Krakov?s (1895-1968) biography. He was a famous Serbian man of letters, prominent interwar journalist, war hero and finally an emigrant publicist. The paper is based on personal testimonies, biographical notes, archive material from Stanislav Krakov Collection kept in the Archives of Yugoslavia, documents from the National Library of Serbia and the Yugoslav Cinematheque, periodicals and contemporary newspapers, as well as on testimonies of Krakov?s contemporaries. This paper shows the life of Stanislav Krakov from his early life circumstances: volunteering in the First and Second Balkan War, participation in the World War I as an officer, concluding with the perilous journey through Albanian mountains to the Adriatic Sea, and breakthrough on the Macedonian Front in 1918 via Kaymakchalan. Wounded and decorated several times, he did not stay in the army. He dedicated himself to literature and journalism. The stressful and jagged atmosphere in interwar Yugoslavia Defined Stanislav Krakov. While being a kind of a Balgrade dandy he was also a prominent patriotic figure - a decorated young veteran, editor of Politika and editor- in-chief of Vreme newspapers, writer of war novels, travel memoirs, theater critic, and so on. Family and ideological connections with general Nedic determined his journalist career and personal life during the World War II - when he was the editor of Obnova and editor-in-chief of Novo Vreme - as well as after it. As a collaborator, after the WWII, this well-known hero of the WWI and the Balkan Wars passed away as a fugitive and emigrant, never bringing to an end the intended monograph about general Nedic, nor his own memoirs.

This article provides a new scientific analysis of the biography of Abdulla Avloni, an enlightened poet, playwright, journalist, scientist, statesman and public figure who lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is well known that in the Soviet era, educated, enlightened people were persecuted as enemies of the people. Those who were shot, family members were politically persecuted as relatives of the enemy of the people. Most writers, scientists were forced to change their biographies, to hide their genealogy. In works of art, the aristocracy is portrayed in a negative light. The article analyzes the changes made to Abdulla Avloni's biography for political reasons on the basis of scientific sources and memoirs.

The article presents the second part of a comprehensive study of the book of memoirs by E. B. Khalezova as a work of non-fiction and a historical source. The goal is to show how the history of the family-related community of the Russian scientific intelligentsia is reconstructed in a memoir-autobiographical text. The significance of such works for the study of the history of the Russian family and the dynamics of family forms is determined. According to a number of literaryn characteristics, the work correlates with the family chronicle genre. It contains historical and biographical information about the Starynkevich and Borneman families, who were of noble origin. The history of parental and reproductive families is based on the biography of the prominent scientist I. D. Borneman-Starynkevich and the autobiography of her daughter. With all the differences, both families can be attributed to the type of “maternal family”. This source contains valuable information on the history of the families of the Russian intelligentsia. It also contributes to the understanding of how various communities called “family” change during a person's life and in the course of global and local historical processes.

The subject of the study is the practice of functioning of the scientific community of Russia at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. The object of the study is the personality of the famous scientist, academician E.S. Fedorov (1853-1919). The main source of the research was the memoirs "Our everyday life, sorrows and joys", the author of which is the wife of the scientist L.V. Fedorov. The memoirs were prepared by 1927 at the request of E.S. Fedorov's students and colleagues and were dedicated to his personality. The memoirs cover the period of the second half of the XIX century – the beginning of the XX century . and they cover the life of the Fedorov family. Currently, the original document is stored in the Academician's personal fund in the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1992, the memoirs were published in print. Based on the thematic-chronological method of analyzing the source, the article considers the image of E.S. Fedorov as a scientific figure. The main attention is paid to the study of the scientific biography of the scientist in the 1880s-1890s. During this period, the scientist was an employee of the Geological Committee, conducted successful expedition studies of the Northern Urals, published the first results of the theory of crystal structure he was developing. The ideas and achievements of the scientist at that time were not recognized among the scientific community of Russia and he had to fight for a place in the scientific world. Based on the memoirs, the motives of E.S. Fedorov's scientific activity, his relationships with colleagues and mentors are analyzed for the first time, the scientist is shown in the role of a family man. The conclusion is made about the value of this source as expanding the boundaries of the study of the biography of a scientist and the functioning of science in general. XIX century – beginning .

The episodes proposed in the article from the memoirs of Sergei Vasilievich Sazanov refer to 1918–1921 and cover the details of Sazanov’s life in Altai during the Civil War. The presented «ego-document» reveals the everyday life of the Civil War, given through the prism of perception of an ordinary participant in the events, in this case, a peasant-otkhodnik of the Tambov province. The memoirs of S. V. Sazanov are valuable as they show the transformation of an ordinary, civilian person in the conditions of hostilities. The choice of one of the opposing sides (mostly forced), the manifestation of human qualities in extreme circumstances, the interweaving of domestic, everyday (work for the family) and emergency (the arrival of a punitive force, the threat of execution, etc.) are the content of the presented episodes from the memoirs. It makes these materials a valuable historical source, and publication can help in developing layers of historical problems that were previously ignored by historiography. The publication of memoirs is preceded by an introductory article, which presents a brief biography of S. V. Sazanov and reveals the value of memoirs for military anthropology.

The article reconstructs details of the biography of the poet Vladimir Yevgenievich Schirovsky (1909‒1941) based on archival sources. Until today, only the memoirs of his sister-in-law, Aleksandra Dorrer, served as the source of his life’s details. The facts presented in her memoirs had undergone only partial documentary verification. The article establishes Vladimir Schirovsky’s exact date of birth, clarifies the dates and the crucial milestones in the lives of his father, Yevgeny Schirovsky (1850‒1918), and his maternal grandfather Erast Yezhov (1842 – after 1887) using historical records from the Moscow University archives and identifies Schirovsky’s family ties with the noble families of the Yezhovs, Savitskys, Vasilkovskys, and Akaro. Yevgeny Schirovsky, assigned to the lower class of the meschane (urban petit bourgeois) as an illegitimate child of a noble, built an exceptional career as a civil servant. At the peak of his career between 1897 and 1906, he successively held a provincial governorship of the Łomża Governorate, the Kielce Governorate, and the Radom Governorate of the Congress Poland, having risen to the rank of the Privy Councilor (but not to the rank of a senator, as incorrectly thought before based on Aleksandra Dorrer’s account). Yevgeny Schirovsky’s father, Aleksey Kozmich Schirovsky (1805 – after 1869), and grandfather Kozma Alekseyevich Schirovsky (1771‒1849), both physicians who worked at the Mariinsky Hospital for the poor in Moscow alongside Mikhail Andreyevich Dostoevsky, the father of Fyodor Dostoevsky, belonged to the closest circle of friends of the Dostoyevsky family.

Auto Biography is a creative nonfiction memoir: A daughter, forced to move her unlovable, ever-combustible, wheelchairbound mother cross-country in an RV, attempts to come to terms with her via the automobiles of their lives. The story explores: 1) the universal dilemma of caring for aged parents––its stress, its pain, its sacrifice, and its dark humor; 2) memory––the "peeling back" narrative style working in the same layer upon layer way of memory, its non-linearity creating not so much a one-piece narrative but essay snapshots forming a family photo album view of this thing we call memory and this thing we call meaning; and, of course, 3) cars––their subtle yet surprisingly essential role in all our modern and post-modern lives.

Este trabalho aborda uma proposta de utilização do filme etnográfico no processo de recuperar a voz e dar a conhecer a resistência política e cultural dos africanos no Portugal do Estado Novo. Esse exercício de revelação é, em certa medida, um esforço de contra narrativa, de descentralização das narrativas dominantes não só acerca da resistência negro-africana, mas também sobre a memória e o arquivo familiar. Para concretizar esse objetivo, através de uma abordagem ao percurso dos meus avós, António Rodrigues (1918 -2011) e Pedro Yala (1926 – 1998), marítimos e sócios do clube a exemplo. Este trabalho debruçar-se-á sobre o Clube Marítimo Africano, uma das associações negro-africanas formadas no centro de Lisboa, tal como a sua congénere ligeiramente mais reconhecida, a Casa dos Estudantes do Império.This paper proposes the use of ethnographic film in the context of giving a “voice” to and making better known the political and cultural resistance in Portugal during fascism “New State” by African people and Afro-descendants. The use of voiceover is to a certain extent a counter-narrative effort to destroy the dominant narratives of black-African resistance but also reflects on issues of memory and family archives. This goal will be achieved through re-exploring the path of my grandparents, António Rodrigues (1918 - 2011) and Pedro Yala (1926 - 1998), both maritime workers and members of the present club. The work will focus on the African Maritime Club, one of the associations of black Africans formed in the centre of Lisbon, alongside others, such as the House of Students of the Empire.

Southern Celts, a practise-led narrative inquiry (Arnold, 2007; Gray, 1997; Stewart, 2001), explores how people with Scottish and Irish backgrounds live out their cultural connections to the northern hemisphere homelands, while living in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using narrative as method and text (Clandinin, 2007; Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; De Fina & Georgakopoulou, 2012; Reissman, 2008), the inquiry combines journalistic (Jeppesen & Hansen, 2011), autoethnographic (Bochner & Riggs, 2014; Chang, 2008; Ellis & Bochner, 2000; Holman-Jones, Adams & Ellis, 2013), and arts-based methods (Butler-Kisber, 2010; Chilton & Leavy, 2014; Leavy, 2009), with ethnographic and phenomenological insights (Maddison, 2008; Tedlock, 2000; Van Manen, 1990) to represent 25 of 40 interviews in an artefact, a book of interview narratives, intended to engage and inform a wide audience of general readers. These “lived and told stories” (Pinnegar & Danes, 2007) are situated in a visual metaphor from traditional Celtic art, that of spirals which envisage life moving across time and place. This movement is paralleled in the exegesis by the use of Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) three frames of narrative inquiry: time (past, present and future), place, and the intersection of the personal and the social, to view the narratives which record the lives of individuals, multi-generational families, communities geographic and cultural, past and present, and illustrate the discursive construction of culture/s and identity/ies (Fong & Chang, 2004; Norton, 1995, 2000, 2010; Weedon 1997, 2004).

Transparencies: New Zealand from 1953 to 1974 through the Slide Photography of Gladys Cunningham This thesis focuses on the amateur slide photography of Gladys Cunningham, formerly of Onehunga, Auckland. Viewed collectively, these slides provide a visual autobiography of a New Zealand woman’s life, as well as a larger social narrative. As Gladys’s granddaughter, I argue that Gladys’s 35mm colour transparencies, nostalgic fragments that memorialise a family history, are informed by the social history of European New Zealanders between the early 1950s and early 1970s. Gladys’s slides reflect stabilities and changes for the photographer herself, her family and New Zealand society. While the term “transparency” suggests that the meaning of a slide can be understood by all, in reality further contextual information is necessary to appreciate the family and public histories from which these scenes have been separated. To situate Gladys’s slides, I refer to popular magazines and tourist texts from this period, including The Weekly News, National Geographic and New Zealand Holiday, and to commercial slides, postcards and travel marketing texts. I analyse the near absence of Maori within Gladys’s slides and travel journalism, suggesting that their omissions represent a lack of dialogue between Pakeha and Maori. In New Zealand and overseas, slide photography was the popular medium for recording extraordinary family events during the 1950 and 1960s. Through an analysis of memory, leisure and photography, this study examines how Gladys’s photography documents family and community membership and celebration. I explore how aesthetically pleasing representations of family leisure also contain partly concealed clues to less positive memories and to secrets that were not unique to this family. I discuss the impact of private and public transport on Gladys’s slide photography, noting how car travel facilitated spatial and temporal freedoms, and how slide photography strengthened connections to extended family and distant communities. In contrast, Gladys and Jim’s later dependence on coach transport enhanced their ability to take slides and expanded the “family” gaze of their camera, but limited their photographic opportunities.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of Pauline Wengeroff and her Memoirs of a Grandmother: Scenes from the Cultural History of the Jews of Russia in the Nineteenth Century. Wengeroff's two volumes are extraordinary on many grounds. As their full title proclaims, she writes the history of an era in Jewish experience, coupling her story and that of her family with that of Russian Jewry in the time of its transition from tradition to modernity. In Memoirs, Wengeroff gives a rich depiction of traditional Jewish society in Russia with a particular focus on the religious practices and piety of women. She tells a dramatic tale of the dissolution of traditionalism in this society from the perspective of women, marriage, and families. Indeed, she argues for the cultural power of women, though not as a feminist. Focusing on Wengeroff's adolescent and adult life, this book traces how Memoirs of a Grandmother came to be in the form in which it is found.

"After the signing of the Armistice of Mudros, Maraş was occupied first by the British and then by the French. The biggest supporters of these invasions were the Armenians who returned to the city and served in the French army. As a result of the increase in the attacks of the Armenians against the Turks, the people of Maraş decided to organize and resist. Mustafa Kemal Pasha sent Kılıç Ali to Elbistan to organize the Maraş resistance. The Maraş Defense of the Law Society was established there. Mirzazade Arslan Bey was elected as the chairman of this society, and then he organized the people of Maraş for resistance. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the biography of Arslan Bey, who took an important role in the national struggle of Maraş and became one of the symbols of the liberation of the city. Arslan Bey's family, education life and what duties he did will be investigated. In this study, besides archival documents, Arslan Bey's memoirs and interviews he gave to various magazines will be used. In addition, Arslan Bey's son Mahmut Toğuz will be asked for information, and the interview conducted with him, other memoirs and research on the subject will be used."

This chapter discusses the material culture of World War I, focusing on the objects of commemorative biography—the memorial volumes, collected, curated, and often privately published, that became familiar relics in so many mourning households. It considers both the materials that went into these volumes, including the soldiers' own writings, and the volumes themselves as material objects. The chapter therefore differs in its methodology from a strictly literary reading of the text but also from a strictly materialist one of the artifact. Patched together out of scraps and fragments—letters and poems by the deceased; memoirs by family members; tributes from others; snippets of inspirational literature; photographs and drawings; diary fragments—these commemorative volumes deploy a proliferation of materials to make up for lives that lacked recognizable fullness and dimension. In doing so, these volumes created a new kind of biographical hybrid, occupying an ambiguous place between text and object and an ambiguous place in a rapidly changing genre.

Abstract Anyone trying to construct a biography of Wordsworth faces a problem: the poet spent a lifetime sifting, selecting, and ordering much of the material for it himself. Officiaily he was opposed to biography. It was clear, of course, to both admirers and detractors that autobiography was the well-spring of his creative powers. His, as Keats said, was the poetry of the ‘egotistical sublime’. Wordsworth wrote about real places and events, about the River Wye, Grasmere, London, Bruges, the Yarrow, about tours of Scotland and Italy. He memorialized his own experiences and recollections, his family, people met with in chance encounters, and old friends. The Preface to The Excursion (1814), the notes appended to particular lyrics, and the tantalizingly brief but revealing personal words in the 1842 volume Poems, Chiefly of Early and Late Years even encouraged interest in the poet by sketching in a biographical context for the work. But further biographical probing was always thwarted. ‘In truth my life has been unusually barren of events’, he told Anne Taylor in 1801, formulating a useful untruth which he repeated thirty-six years later when parrying another probe with the remark that his life was ‘bare of entertainment and interest’.2 He forbade Barron Field, an intelligent disciple, to publish his Memoirs of Wordsworth and was so appalled by the unauthorized use made of letters and recollections after Coleridge’s death that he declared he hoped not a scrap of his own correspondence would survive.

Abraham Lurzki (1792-1885) is portrayed in the traditional Karaite historiography as the leading scholar, educator and towering authority in the first half of the 19th century. He was a second generation Lutzk émigré, hailed from a distinguished family of the Karaite scholars who had arrived in the Crimea in the early nineteenth century. His major contribution to the Karaite community at whole was his activity in the realm of the traditional education: his beit-midrash was the leading educational institution of the time. Hitherto this widely accepted view is based on only two independent sources: a very sketchy biography of Abraham Lutzki by Isaac Sinani and the memoirs wrote by his grandson Jacob Duvan. Needless to say that both sources are hagiography by their nature and therefore not very reliable ones. This paper seeks to establish the key features of the social standing and career of Abraham Lutzki in the Karaite community of the Crimea in its formative years. An attempt is made by utilizing new archival (mostly personal and administrative character) from the Manuscript Department of the Russian State Library.

Che, My brother by Juan Martín Guevara and Armelle Vincent springs from a testimony that embraces family history and big history, biography and self-fiction. Che Guevara’s biography is the narration of a life propelled by a drive for justice. With this book Juan Martín sets his own story in motion, finds the texture of his life and retraces his traumatic past, charting the casual order of his memories. Juan Martín’s memoir reveals the doubling of every autobiographical adventure; it reconstructs Che’s personal journey far from the myth, and inevitably halts in front of the impossibility of transferring such an exemplary life.

This first full-length scholarly biography of the clubwoman, civil rights activist, and feminist, Mary (“Mollie”) Church Terrell highlights the interconnections between her private life and her public activism. As a black woman, Terrell told much of her story in her published memoir, but also elided some details as a shield to the racial prejudice she experienced. Terrell’s family shared their private papers (now at the Oberlin College Archives), allowing this biography to delve into her correspondence and diaries to gain a fuller understanding of Terrell’s life and activism.

In her posthumously published, fictionalized memoir, Blood of My Blood, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings provides a scathing account of her relationship with her mother, along with the details of her childhood. Rawlings delved just as deeply into the familial relationships of Ellen Glasgow when researching her biography. Contrasting the two writers’ similar feelings of connection and estrangement with their parents and their complex relationships with siblings, it is clear that family experiences compelled them to write, even as those same experiences hindered their writing careers. Even though there is no indication that the two women discussed their parents, their lives indicate a remarkable similarity in overcoming family trials to succeed in writing careers that were considered by some to be unconventional.

The chapter sets out a history of Zaynab Fawwaz’s birthplace, the Ottoman territory of Jabal ‘Amil, at the southern tip of Mt Lebanon, as a region that was both marginalized and a centre of Shi‘i intellectual activity. Particular attention is paid to the clan of al-As‘ad, paramount rulers in whose provincial court Zaynab spent some time, and to local historical memory that would have been part of her formation. Fawwaz’s biography of her mentor there, Fatima bint al-As‘ad, suggests her attachment to this childhood venue. The chapter assesses what we know of Fawwaz’s early biography, through competing narratives that even pose very different birthdates, from 1845 to 1860. It provides background for Chapter 9, on Fawwaz’s first novel, which took up the history of this feudal family.

This conversation with Fante’s biographer revolves around the complex acquisition trajectory of John Fante’s papers (manuscripts, letters, business records) and memorabilia (his typewriter, a lock of hair, etc.). Their transfer in 2009 from the writer’s family to the institutional space of UCLA Library Special Collections represented Fante’s entry into that very world of immortality he had unabashedly pined for, along with his literary alter ego Arturo Bandini. The conversation contributes to the debates on archives as repositories of past and future knowledge and on private versus public memory.

The memoirs of a famous Russian historian and archaeologist, holder of an Advanced Doctorate in History, Gerald Nikolaevich Matyushin (1927–2000), the author of 27 monographs and over 400 articles on the archaeology of the Stone Age and the history of the Southern Urals, introduce the reader to an unfamiliar genre of the scholar’s work: his autobiographical essays entitled ‘An Arctic Cruise’. The essays include little-known facts of G. N. Matyushin’s biography, of his childhood and youth, of his training at the Maritime school on the Solovetsky Islands, of his service in the Northern Fleet during World War II and in early post-war years, and of the fate of his friends, Alexander Kovalev, Sergey Igoshin, Anatolii Mochalkin and Petr Mitin. Selected excerpts from these memoirs were published in a collection of the Russian Archaeological Society series Antiquities, № 2 (Matyushin G. N. Madakha // Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, Ed. G.N. Matyushin, B.G. Peters, Moscow: 1991. Part. 2, pp. 15–35). Later G. N. Matyushin prepared for publication a new, more complete version of his essays for the collection ‘Archaeologists about the War’ in the series ‘Antiquities’ No. 17 (Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, 1996, Part 3, pp. 3–54). Later G. N. Matyushin prepared for publication a new, more complete version of his essays for the collection ‘Archaeologists about the War’ in the series ‘Antiquities’ No. 17 (Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, 1996, Part 3). The memoirs published below are the original version of these essays, written shortly after visiting the Solovetsky Islands in 1985; they are included in the family history, compiled by G. N. Matyushin on the basis of family archives, newspaper publications, certifi cates, award lists and other documents (preserved in the personal archive of I. G. Matyushina). The events described by the author preceded his work on the text of his memoirs by several decades, so occasional details might not be refl ected with complete accuracy. First Published in an abbreviated form in 2022.

Bruce, Dr. "The Life and Mysterious Death of Harold F. Pitcairn: Was it Suicide?" In Vertical Flight Society 76th Annual Forum & Technology Display. The Vertical Flight Society, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4050/f-0076-2020-16260.

Harold F. Pitcairn, American aviation and Autogiro pioneer, died from a single gunshot wound to the head in the late evening hours of April 23, 1960 at the age of 62 after a gala evening at which he presided over a celebration attended by more than 450 guests for his brother's Raymond's 75th birthday. Initially labelled a suicide by the press, Pitcairn's widow Clara declared that "she never wanted to hear another word about the tragedy", while friends and friendly local authorities made the argument, duly reported by Frank Kingston Smith in Legacy of Wings, his devotional Pitcairn biography (subsidized by the Pitcairn family), that the death was accidental because "there was no note, no indication of depression or unhappiness" and "the police investigation disclosed that two shots had been fired; one had penetrated the ceiling directly over the desk in the first floor study, another had struck Pitcairn in the eye" and that "the next morning it was discovered the semi-automatic pistol was defective: when cocked, it had a supersensitive "hair trigger," and it had a faulty disconnector so that it would fire more than one shot at a time, a condition known as "doubling."" The Pitcairn families, prominent and powerful, prevailed upon the local authorities to declare the death accidental and Kingston Smith's 1981account became the de facto authoritative story of the death of Harold F. Pitcairn. With the perspective, however, of six decades, it appears far more likely that Pitcairn's death was a suicide for reasons that were not readily evident, minimized, unappreciated or deliberately ignored at the time to craft a result that met the needs of Clara Pitcairn and her surviving family. These included the fact that while the claim was made that Pitcairn was making his nightly rounds to check on the estate’s ground-level windows (and had been doing so since the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932), he actually died at his desk; that those in the house only reported a single shot; the 1907 Savage pistol had no reputation for a hair-trigger, and had not evidenced such a flaw in almost three decades of Pitcairn's nightly ritual; that even though Pitcairn had been assured that his almost-decade-long lawsuit against the United States government for Patent infringement of his Autogiro patents was going well, he was concerned about the impact this lawsuit was having on his aged associates who had been called to give depositions and he had voiced the sentiment that "if he had known that he would have to sue the government, he would not have gone into the Autogiro business"; that the lawsuit, itself intended as a vindication of Pitcairn's contribution to aviation was dragging on and would reach its first legal conclusion in 1967, and not finally conclude upon appeal until 1977; and most importantly, those who deny suicide and point to Pitcairn’s state-of-mind, have failed to take into account when the death occurred or ready evidence of his 'state of mind' To fail to see the tragic end of Harold F. Pitcairn is to forget that 29 years and one day earlier, he had been recognized for "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America, with respect to improving the performance, efficiency, and safety of air or space vehicles, the value of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by actual use during the preceding year." The memory of that day on the White House back lawn with the President was the high point of his life even as Pitcairn prepared to celebrate his older brother's achievements. The evidence, when marshalled and documented, conclusively points to suicide - a death of an American aviation pioneer before his contributions were vindicated in the largest patent infringement judgement against the United States in history. To fail to see the tragic end of Harold F. Pitcairn is to forget that 29 years earlier, he had been recognized for "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America".
