Copyright © 1999 by The State Historical Society of Missouri COVER DESCRIPTION: Eating Up the Lights, by Missouri artist Gary R. Lucy, depicts the technique used by nineteenth-century steamboat crews to determine a safe channel in an inland waterway when traveling by night. To mark a safe passage, crewmen preceded the boat in a skiff, took depth read­ ings, and placed lighted candles on pieces of wood anchored by a stone attached to a string. As the steamboat advanced, it would glide over the floating markers, consuming their light under the bow- thus the term "eating up the lights." Lucy, a resident of Washington, Missouri, will speak about his work as an artist and the influ­ ence of historic interpretation in art at the Society's annual meeting on October 23. Selected works depicting scenes of life on the inland waterways of North America by the artist are on exhibit in the Society's art gallery through December. [Cover illustration courtesy of the artist] EDITORIAL POLICY The editors of the Missouri Historical Review welcome submission of articles and documents relating to the history of Missouri.

MORTON* Privately conceding his doubts about the likelihood of a resolution of the nation's mounting sectional crisis, Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton wrote in January 1850 to a friend in St. Louis: "For all the purposes of ben­ eficial legislation, we are already nearly in a state of disunion." Southern extremists, continued Benton, had begun "organizing a Southern Convention at Nashville, without waiting any further action of congress on the slave question."1 During the ensuing months, Benton's policy decisions con­ form D.

He received his B .A. and M.A. degrees from Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and the University of Virginia respectively. 1 Thomas H. Benton to John O'Fallon, 17 January 1850, John O'Fallon Papers, Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis. 2 Missouri Historical Review tributed decisively to the eventual passage of the Compromise of 1850, which managed to stave off national disintegration for another decade. Emphasizing Benton's patriotism as the primary motive behind his legisla­ tive behavior that year, historians have overlooked the powerful influence of the Democratic senator's electoral goals.2 Senator Benton's actions in 1850 illustrate the relationship between party politics and policymaking in nineteenth-century America. During the 1820s and 1830s, the young republic's political leaders formed elaborate

  • Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In
    Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

The 2000 presidential election revealed glaring improprieties in the methods available to Americans for choosing their leaders., With attention focused on Florida's confusing ballot, the variety of standards used to count "hanging chads," and claims of disenfranchisement, the presidential election's irregularities overshadowed other election problems entirely Before the tumultuous contest to determine the winners of the electoral college vote even began, however, the death of United States Senate candidate and Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan3 raised the question of whether a deceased person could be elected to the Senate.4 For some observers, concerns mounted when the newly elevated Governor' announced that he would appoint Carnahan's widow, Jean 1.

    A Unique Hell in Southwestern Virginia: Confederate Guerrillas and the Defense of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Nicholas A. Nowland Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Paul D. Quigley, Chair A. Roger Ekirch Daniel B. Thorp 22 August, 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Civil War; Southwestern Virginia; Guerrillas; Partisan Rangers; Bushwhackers; Home Guards; Guerrilla Warfare Copyright 2016 by Nicholas A. Nowland ii A Unique Hell in Southwestern Virginia: Confederate Guerrillas and the Defense of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Nicholas A. Nowland ABSTRACT During the United States Civil War, southwestern Virginia was mired in a bloody guerrilla conflict that involved Confederate irregular combatants defending the region from invading or raiding Union Army forces. Simmering for the entirety of the war, this conflict revolved around the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad (V&T), a critical railway that ran through southwestern Virginia and connected the southwestern Confederacy with Richmond and the rest of Virginia. As the war progressed, this railway moved increasingly large amounts of foodstuffs and minerals vital to the Confederate war effort, and by the later stages of the war it was the most important railway in the South. Union Army commanders in West Virginia recognized the incredible importance of the V&T to the Confederacy, and launched a multitude of major and minor invasions and raids into southwestern Virginia with the intent of crippling the railroad. Confederate partisan rangers, bushwhackers, and home guards played separate roles in weakening, distracting, and hampering Union Army operations in southwestern Virginia, thereby helping to defend the V&T from attacks.
