Who built nuns cross farm on dartmoor who own it?
Found this on the Widecombe in the moor website:
A success story on Dartmoor was the Hooper family who made Nuns Cross Farm, near Foxtor Mire. Crossing wrote in 1903 "It is surprising what can be done even on Dartmoor with perseverance. I remember very well when John Hooper enclosed the little farm at Nuns Cross, and he told me not long afterwards that by the time he had got his walls and his tiny dwelling, and bought a cow, his limited capital had disappeared, or as his wife more forcibly put it, he possessed no more than "fourpence hap'ny" to go on with. Yet he did very well there. During the latter part of his life he was able to sell £100 worth of cattle yearly, which considering the size of his place, was most satisfactory, but he worked hard, for though not a Dartmoor man born, he possessed all the instincts of one".

That is like asking how each person contributes in a large city; the answer would be so large you would die of old age reading it. The basic system of life in a clan was that everyone contributed as they could, while some had "job's" (more like duties) others were less specialized and made general contributions.

Carry Nation was the member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union best known for attacking saloons and other drinking establishments with a hatchet.
The spelling of Nation's first name is the source of much confusion and both Carrie and Carry are considered correct. Official records indicate it was Carrie, which Nation and others used most of her life. However, Carry was used by her father in the family Bible. Upon beginning her campaign against alcohol, she adopted the name Carry A. Nation mainly for its value as a slogan and had it registered as a trademark in the state of Kansas. She also believed that it was providential and that she would "Carry A. Nation" to prohibition.
Cary nation was about six feet tall and a strong and formidable woman. Not only did she attack those who sold alcohol, but was also assaulted herself in protection of property, and sometimes in self-defense. Performing "hatchetations" was a physically dangerous activity. The Kansas WCTU presented her with a gold medallion inscribed, "To the Bravest Woman in Kansas."
With her nation-wide notoriety, she published a biweekly newsletter (The Smasher's Mail), a newspaper (The Hatchet), an autobiography30 and later in life exploited her name by appearing in vaudeville, selling photographs of herself, charging to lecture, selling miniature hatchets, and acting in a play titled Hatchetation. Her lecture circuit included both Canada and the United Kingdom.
Nation was generous with her money and died almost penniless in 1911 at the age of 65. She was controversial in life and remains so today.
Why is Booker T Washington famous?
r T. Washington was born into slavery, but freed as a child. He became educated, and was one of the first black men to promote education among the African-American population. During the early 1900's he was a key figure in the early civil rights movement, advocating fellow African-Americans to join the workforce and become educated in order to have a greater impact on society, and thereby gain equality over time. One of his famous statements about his belief that civil rights would come by hard work and education is "It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top." Around this same time, the NAACP was formed and men like W.E.B. Dubois were advocating civil rights protests to gain equality immediately, and labeled Washington "The Great Accommodator". However, Washington stood firm, believing that cooperation with white men in power was a better way to overcome racism in the long run than confrontation. Booker T's stance gave him the support of many white politicians and philanthropists, allowing him to further his cause of education for African Americans. Because of his accomplishments in being one of the first leaders to attempt to bring the races together, Washington was honored with being the first African American invited to the White House, the first pictured on a postage stamp, and has had dozens of schools around the nation named after him. Much of the success of the later civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, Jr.
