In the 1980 's, Rep. Newt Gingrich, then Republican whip and organizer of House Republican conservatives, was a major source for The Washington Times. Gingrich and his band of young-turk conservative Republican House members elected in the late 1970s and early eighties were tired of their party 's leaders who had become the lazy, perpetual minority.

On July 26, 1764, an event occurred on the Pennsylvania frontier so shocking that it has been vividly remembered and retold for over 250 years. 11 children gathered in a lonely log school house that warm summer morning. By noon they lay weltering in their own blood, scalped and dead or dying. And yet, one of the students, ten year old Archie McCullough, survived.

This special genealogy edition includes an additional appendix outlining Archie McCullough's place in the McCulloh line of Franklin County, PA.
