Haskell Limestone
Haskell limestone is a geological unit name originating in Kansas and used in adjoining states. The unit was named in 1931 by R.C. Moore for the then Haskell Indian Nations University, Haskell Institute in the southeast of Lawrence, Kansas. The name has been applied to various beds within this range, and assigned as a member variously to the Lawrence Formation, Cass Formation, and Stranger Formation, and significant legacy literature exists for each classification. These three formations now comprise the Douglas Group. In 2002, within the effort to improve the correlation of Kasimovian, Missourian stage geology between the states of Missouri and Kansas, as well as Nebraska and Iowa, the Haskell was assigned in Kansas to the Cass Formation as its lowest member (on the basis of Principle of faunal succession, distinct changes in fossil species). Distribution and outcrop The Haskell Limestone is recognized in deep hydrocarbon well logs throughout most of the state of Kansas; the " ...

The Bluejacket's Manual
''The Bluejacket's Manual'' is the basic handbook for United States Navy personnel. First issued in 1902 to teach recruits about naval procedures and life and offer a reference for active sailors, it has become the "bible" for Navy personnel, providing information about a wide range of Navy topics. The current version, issued in 2017, is the 25th Edition and is given to all enlistees. History Before 1902, the Navy had at least two books for training young men in naval procedure. ''Seamanship'', by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, was the primary textbook about seamanship at the United States Naval Academy but was not used by enlisted men; many sailors at the time were still illiterate and in any case, the oral traditions and procedures of petty officers were the basis of enlisted sailors' education. ''The Seaman's Handbook'' by LCDR Stephen B. Luce, saw general use in the Merchant Marine, but less in the Navy. 1902 saw the first publication of ''The Bluejacket's Manual'', writ ...
