January 6, 1853 – Andover, Massachusetts, United States: The Boston & Maine noon express, traveling from Boston to Lawrence, Massachusetts, derails at forty miles an hour when an axle breaks at Andover, and only one coach goes down an embankment and breaks in two. Only one is killed, the eleven-year-old son of President-elect Franklin Pierce, but it is initially reported that Pierce is also a fatality. He was on board but is only badly bruised. The baggage car and the locomotive remain on the track. President Pierce's inaugural ball is cancelled as the family grieves over the loss of their son

January 23, 1853 caboose was detached from train cars around the Mason–Dixon line in a forest during a blizzard

March 4, 1853 – Mount Union, Pennsylvania, United States: A Pennsylvania Railroad emigrant train stalls on the main line with engine problems in the Allegheny Mountains near Mount Union, and when the brakeman sent to flag protect the rear of the stopped train falls asleep in a shanty, an oncoming mail train shatters the rear car, killing seven,

The fireman is instructed to warn a following goods train, and to instruct the driver of the goods to proceed so as to push the passenger train into Dublin. Instead the goods train approaches at full speed, wrecking the passenger train and killing 18 people.

December 1853 – Secaucus, New Jersey, United States: The same two trains that crashed on May 9, 1853, a Paterson and Hudson River Railroad emigrant train and an Erie Railroad express, collide

that is every train wreck in 1953

1991 train axle breaks and a Board determined that the derailment was caused by the failure of the axle at the L-2 location of club car No. 3474 when in-service stresses placed on the axle from shelled wheels exceeded the designed "endurance limit" of the axle. this was not a passenger car. another in 1913 qnd one time in 1951 axles broke for the same reasons.

William Rufus DeVane King (April 7, 1786 – April 18, 1853) was an American politician and diplomat. He was the 13th Vice President of the United States for about six weeks in 1853 before his death. Earlier he had been elected as a U.S. Representative from North Carolina and a Senator from Alabama. He was Franklin Pierce's running mate, and they won by a land slide in 1852.
King would be succeeded in the vice presidency after his death by none other than John C. Breckinridge, the future vice president of the C.S.A. and shining light of the Knights of the Golden Circle. That means that Franklin Pierce had Jefferson Davis the future president of the C.S.A., as his Secretary of War and John C. Breckinridge, the future vice president of the C.S.A positioned in his cabinet. Now what do you think? Was Franklin Pierce K.G.C. ?
L.C. Baker

John C Breckinridge was vice president under James Buchannan,and ran against Lincoln in 1861.He was CSA Sec of War,not CSA VP.
It is interesting to note that Pierce wanted to appoint Judah P Benjamin to the Supreme Court,but Benjamin declined.Benjamin was once head of the KGC,an associate of Albert Pike,and later CSA Sec of State,who set up the South's blockade and spy network.

Other associates of Pike,were Louisana Sen John Slidel,whose nephew in law,August Belmont of the Rothschild Bank,paid for Pierce's 1852 election campaign,and John Quitman,Scottish Rite,became Pierce's US Attorney General.
In 1857,Albert Pike,Judah Benjamin,and John Slidel formed the MYSTICK KREWE OF COMUS and met at the Pickwick Club in New Orleans to discuss political activities.In 1859,Pike inducted John C Breckinridge into the Scottish Rite Supreme Council,and in 1860,Caleb Cushing,another Pike Scottish Rite associate,became Breckinridge's campaign manager for President.Many plots within plots,all connected to the KGC.

 

[L.C. BAKER]

John Quitman,Scottish Rite,became Pierce's US Attorney General. I did not know that, very good info on these k.G.C. members and how they worked together for the same goals.
thanks for posting it, LL.C.

pretty sure he was vice president of the C.S.A. by the close of the war. But i will double check my info.
thanks L.C.

John C Breckinridge was vice president under James Buchanan,and ran against Lincoln in 1861. This is a key piece of information with many trails. It is good to see you mention it. There is more here than meets the eye. this was a very important time to the K.G.C. the new generation, starting to assume their appointed positions in the organization and the federal government!

Has anyone else noticed that all of Franklin Pierce's actions in office reflect a mirror image of the
" KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE AGENDA"

According to what I read (R & I) last night, REBEL gov't in early 1862 saw need of a NEW Order to replace KGC; to include Yanks with State Rights "interest", and who were "with" the REBELS. Order of American Knights (OAK) was the "PHOENIX" that rose up out of the ashes of the KGC - Richmond, Va. @ 1862/63. 1st Degree: TEMPLE DEGREE in the COUNTY region(s) of CASTLE (Lodge); 2nd Degree: GRAND COUNCIL DEGREE of each State; 3rd Degree: SUPREME COUNCIL, located in NYC, was the "gov't"/HQ of OAk. Info is from THE GREAT NORTH-WESTERN CONSPIRACY - In All It's Startling Details... by I. Windslow Ayer. KGC was "Southern" and PURELY Southern Plantations owners with "slave-owning" interests". Look for LOST Southern Plantations with dried up WELLS/VAULTS. HH! GOOD LUCK! BTW... in THIS "case", "North-WESTERN" means the FREE STATES of Missouri, Kansas, etc.

It began much earlier but what you are saying seems to be correct to me. If you are looking for Kegs and not Casks.

John A Quitman was also involved in Gen Narciso Lopez 1848 CUBAN EXPEDITION,a KGC plan to add Cuba to the southern states.Others involved in the planing stages include-Duncan Farrar Kenner,Judah P Benjamin,Stephen Mallory,Jefferson Davis,and John C Breckinridge.
On to Cuba
Pierre Soule,a KGC New Orleans associate of Judah P Benjamin,financed William Walker's takeover of Nicaragua,all
a part of closing the "Golden Circle".

I had read several times that he was k.G.C. backed but I have not found any info on the Judah Benjamin-walker connection.

"John A Quitman was also involved in Gen Narciso Lopez 1848 CUBAN EXPEDITION,a KGC plan to add Cuba to the southern states."

He felt so strongly about it that he resigned upon the failure to obtain Cuba.

Pierre Soule of New Orleans was the connection.Benjamin,like an octopus,had his tenacles in many operations,some directly,others more covertly.If you look at Jefferson Davis's cabinet,there were several involved with the KGC way before the Secession.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

RIGHTO! Plantataion owners/slave-owners were USUALLY Knights (GC).

so, there is nothing tieing Benjamen to walker directly?

[L.C. BAKER]

The coded ciphers we have implicated more than one person. The Iron hand as it was before it was made of the masses. When it was more like the SS and full of specialized individuals. It is ironic how the O.A.K. used the writings, and or oratory of their most despised rivals to code some of their messages. They did not use what they held high, as much as what or who they despised to make code out of. Very spiteful organization!

All the connections were formed during Pierce's Presidency.Notice all the familar names in the Cuban Expedition:
http://www.historyof cuba.com/history/race/South1.htm
Many of the plots were concieved in New Orleans by Pike,Benjamin,and Slidel at their MYSTIC KREWE OF COMUS meetings held at the Pickwick Club.Others involved at the meetings were August Belmont (married to Slidel's neice),a banker connected to Rothschilds Bank (follow the money,or trace it back),and Pierre Soule,involved with both the Cuban Expedition and William Walker's takeover of Nicaragua.President Franklin Pierce officially acknowledged Walker's Nicaraguan government againist complaints from Congress and some members of his cabinet.
John A Slidel became the CSA Commissioner to France.
It is easy to determine that the acorn does not fall from the OAK.

 

[L.C. BAKER]

President Franklin Pierce officially acknowledged Walker's Nicaraguan government againist complaints from Congress and some members of his cabinet.


This I know, as it is just one in many facts that Franklin Pierce was a Knight of the Golden Circle. We have further proof that will surface on this subject.
