Charles T. Webber Letters to Wilbur H. Siebert
No full textArtist Charles T. Webber (1825-1911) sent these two letters in response to inquires made by Wilbur H. Siebert, a history professor at the Ohio State University. Siebert (1866-1961) requested a photograph of Webber's painting The Underground Railroad for his book The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898). In the first letter, dated November 10, 1892, is two pages in length and measures 4.8 by 7.8 inches (12.19 by 19.81 cm). Webber informs Siebert that he expects to finish the painting within three months, but cannot send a photograph until it is completed. He also refers to Siebert's "circular," a list of questions sent to those who had participated in efforts to assist fugitive slaves. The second, one-page letter from September 20, 1894 measures 5.5 by 8.3 (13.97 by 21.08 cm). In it, Webber apologizes for the delay in providing a photograph, but indicates that he will soon have the painting in his home, where he could take a good photograph of it. Webber was a native of New York state. He lived in Cincinnati from 1860 until his death in 1911. Webber created hundreds of works, including portraits, landscapes, genre subjects, and historical scenes. He belonged to many Cincinnati arts organizations and was considered the "dean" of the Cincinnati art community in the nineteenth century. Siebert was a professor of history at the Ohio State University from 1902 until 1935. Between 1891 and 1935, he amassed a wealth of material relating to the Underground Railroad. In the 1940s, he donated the materials to the Ohio Historical Society, together with records pertaining to his two other research interests, American Loyalists and East Florida

Global patterns of cropland use intensity
No full textThis study presents a global scale analysis of cropping intensity, crop duration and fallow land extent computed by using the global dataset on monthly irrigated and rainfed crop areas MIRCA2000. MIRCA2000 was mainly derived from census data and crop calendars from literature. Global cropland extent was 16 million km2 around the year 2000 of which 4.4 million km2 (28%) was fallow, resulting in an average cropping intensity of 0.82 for total cropland extent and of 1.13 when excluding fallow land. The lowest cropping intensities related to total cropland extent were found for Southern Africa (0.45), Central America (0.49) and Middle Africa (0.54), while highest cropping intensities were computed for Eastern Asia (1.04) and Southern Asia (1.0). In remote or arid regions where shifting cultivation is practiced, fallow periods last 3–10 years or even longer. In contrast, crops are harvested two or more times per year in highly populated, often irrigated tropical or subtropical lowlands where multi-cropping systems are common. This indicates that intensification of agricultural land use is a strategy that may be able to significantly improve global food security. There exist large uncertainties regarding extent of cropland, harvested crop area and therefore cropping intensity at larger scales. Satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques provide opportunities for decreasing these uncertainties and to improve the MIRCA2000 inventory

Underground Railroad illustration
No full textC.T. Weber created this painting of Levi Coffin and his wife "Aunt Katie" (Catherine Coffin) receiving a company of fugitive slaves outside of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. The painting was done in 1893 for the Columbian World's Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The image was collected by Ohio State University professor Wilbur H. Siebert (1866-1961).
