Younger per- sons who heard him not, nor saw him while living, have learned much of him through his numerous biog- raphers and from the mouths of others who did know him. Most that has been known of him, however, by either the living or the dead, has concerned his political career. For the purpose of securing votes for him among the masses in his candidacy for different offices he has been represented by his biographers as being of lowly origin in the midst of impecunious surroundings. Such, however, was not the condition of his early life. He was of gentle birth, with parents on both sides possessing not only valuable landed estates and numer- ous slaves, but occupying high social positions.

  • Uniforming the Rugged Gender, Identity, and the American Administrative State During the Progressive Era, 1898-1917
    UNIFORMING THE RUGGED GENDER, IDENTITY, AND THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIVE STATE DURING THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1898-1917 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History By Zackary William Gardner, M.A. Washington, D.C. January 5, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Zackary William Gardner All Rights Reserved ii UNIFORMING THE RUGGED GENDER, IDENTITY, AND THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIVE STATE DURING THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1898-1917 Zackary William Gardner, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Katherine A. Benton-Cohen, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is a social history of more than 2,000 individual state and federal employees between 1898 and 1917 who were charged with the transformation of the law from enacted ideal to lived reality. The study examines the interplay of gendered identity and administrative state formation in the United States through four case studies: the Philippine Constabulary, the Pennsylvania State Police, the US Forest Service, and the Pennsylvania Forestry Division. To grow these agencies, executives—including Gifford Pinchot, Henry T. Allen, John C. Groome, and George C. Wirt—had to recruit, train, and discipline technocratic experts who were inspired by an idealized image of government service. This identity simultaneously and paradoxically praised rugged individualism and bureaucratic conformity. Compounded by bureaucratic stagnation, depreciating salaries, and the realities of living conditions in remote wildernesses, the inherent contradictions of individualism and conformity led many of these men to disillusionment and resignation. My argument is based upon the reconstruction of individual government careers utilizing bureaucratic social history sources, including circular letters, annual reports, standardized forms, and the extensive correspondence between would-be government-men and senior executives within the four case studies.

  • Samuel Woodfill (January 6, 1883-August 10, 1951)
    Samuel Woodfill (January 6, 1883-August 10, 1951) Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Samuel Woodfill was a veteran of the Philippine–American War, World War I, and World War II. As one of the most celebrated American soldiers of the early 20th century, Samuel, along with his wife, Lorena Wiltshire, called the city of Fort Thomas their home. Born in Bryantsburg, Indiana, Samuel Woodfill enlisted in the United States Army in 1901. On his first deployment abroad, he would spend several years in the Philippines fighting Filipino guerilla forces before being transferred to Alaska in 1910 due to a border dispute with Canada and Great Britain over a portion of the Yukon Territory. In 1912, he would arrive at the Fort Thomas Military Reservation. A year later, Woodfill would be promoted to lieutenant, and spend the next four years protecting the Mexican-American border against cross border attacks. In 1917, he would marry Lorena Wiltshire, and buy a home in the city of Fort Thomas. At the outbreak of World War I, Woodfill’s regiment, the 60th Infantry, attached to the Army 5th Division, was dispatched to Europe as part of the American Expeditionary force under the command of General John J. Pershing. Woodfill’s regiment would be placed in the defenses between Meuse and the Argonne in France. During an offensive in October of 1918, Woodfill and his men would be stationed near Cunel when they would be attacked by German held positions. Advancing in heavy fog, Woodfill and his men would walk into a fortified position. While others took cover, Woodfill singlehandedly took out 3 German machinegun emplacements while suffering under the effects of mustard gas.

  • The Carbonizing Material Is a Mixture of Wood and Animal Char- Coal
    METALS, GUN FORGINGS AND ARMOR PLATE 29 The carbonizing material is a mixture of wood and animal char­ coal. The time necessary for carbonization varies as with the gas furnace, according to the thickness of the plate. It takes generally from four to ten days to bring a furnace up to heat, after which it is maintained from four to ten days at the heat of carboni­ zation. The charge is then cooled slowly and the plates removed after they have cooled down below a red heat. 70. The Krupp Process.-Many of the details of both the Harvey and Krupp processes are secret. The peculiarities and advantages of Krupp armor are secured as much by its chemical composition-especially as regards chrome, nickel and manganese --as by the method of carbonization employed. Even when cementation is accomplished in the same manner, carbon will be absorbed to a greater depth in Krupp than in Harvey armor, giving a greater depth of chill or hard face, and an increased re­ sistance to penetration of about 25 per cent. The ingot being cast in a mould, cooled and stripped, is re­ heated and forged. The plate is then charged in a furnace, which is brought to a temperature of approximately 20000 F., and coal gas is passed along the face of the place which is to be carbonized. The heat breaks up the gas and deposits carbon on the face of the plate, and this carbon is gradually absorbed until the desired degree of carbonization is obtained. From the time of charging until the operation is completed requires a little over three weeks.
