CRAWFORD Privately printed for Frank L. Crawford Ithaca, New York 1939 THIS EDITION IS CONFINED TO I 50 COPIES PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR AND INTENDED FOR PRIVATE DISTRIBUTION ONLY PRINTED BY THE CAYUGA PRESS, ITHACA, N. Y. A TRIBUTE URING the three past years in which the author of this D volume has been compiling material and writing the book, it has been our privilege to keep in touch with the·development of the work, and from time to time to make minor contributions to it. His purpose has been to set down in proper relation to their environment and to the events of the period in which they and their ancestors lived, the lives of the Reverend Morris D'Camp Crawford and of his wife Charlotte Holmes Crawford, our grandparents, all the descendants of whom owe a debt of gratitude to the writer of the book, which debt we desire to re­ cord here. To the evidence furnished by the work itself, we wish to add our testimony as to the intellectual integrity, the industry, and the literary restraint which have characterized the author. He has not permitted any motive to swerve him from his original pur­ pose or to state as facts anything which he could not prove by documents or records. If he had a doubt, he has expressed it; if he has erred, it has been on the side of moderation; if he has slighted any portion of the work, it is in the reserve with which he has touched upon his own career.

  • Engineering the American Military Nation, 1814-1821 Dissertation
    Importing Napoleon: Engineering the American Military Nation, 1814-1821 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan M. Romaneski, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mark Grimsley, Advisor Dr. John Brooke Dr. Jennifer Siegel Copyright by Jonathan Romaneski 2017 Abstract As the War of 1812 drew to a close, the American nation was economically exhausted and politically upended. The great crisis of the war loomed over the American shorelines from mid-1814 onward, when British reinforcements under a new and more aggressive British commander threatened offensive thrusts into U.S. territory at multiple points. Americans were completely unprepared to meet the British invasion attempts; the United States parried all British thrusts in 1814 almost in spite of itself. Thus, by the end of 1814, the Madison administration (with strong input from James Monroe) began to seek to reform the American military establishment to ensure a more disciplined and uniform militia system, a better-educated and “professional” officer corps, and a stout system of seacoast fortifications. The reformers looked no further than the Napoleonic military system for all their answers. In order to convince the American people and their congressional representatives that greater investment in a Napoleonic-style army was necessary, the reformers relied on a narrative of the War of 1812 that emphasized the frailty of the militia and the heroism of the regulars. Complicating the reformers’ narrative was, first, the strong antimilitary ideological traditions that Americans had held so closely since the Revolutionary era, and second, a counternarrative of the war that arose from Andrew Jackson’s victory at New Orleans.

Miss Sarah Comstock's article, so much of which as is of family interest, published herein under the title "A Visit to Elmsford," appeared originally in the New York Times, some of it being later incorporated in her "Old Roads from the Heart of New York," published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. Its appearance here is by consent of the author and publishers. Mrs. B. H. Dean's sketch, "A Bit of the Neutral Ground," first appeared in the New York Central Lines' Four Track News, which has kindly permitted its reproduction. "How One Hundred and Fifty Dollars Will Save Pa- triots' Graves" was first published in the New York Evening Post, September 16, 1911, and that journal consents to its publication here.
