James Armistead, who was born in 1759 into slavery, was most known for being a black spy during the Revolutionary War and helping the American patriots achieve victory. At the age of 21, Armistead volunteered to be a spy and was sent by General Lafayette to provide false information on American movements to the British. Armistead's willingness to work soon won over British General Cornwallis, and Armistead soon gained privilege to British battle plans.

By Michael Bushnell | Feb. 9, 2005, midnight | In Print »

The Blair boy's JV basketball game was a tale of two very, very different halves. For the Blazers, after a half of run-and-gun, playing to Richard Montgomery's style, they got stingy on defense. Stingy enough to keep RM from making a single field goal in the fourth quarter, en route to a 52-47 Blair win, snapping an eight game losing skid.
