  • Lincoln, Olmsted, and Yosemite: Time for a Closer Look
    Lincoln, Olmsted, and Yosemite: Time for a Closer Look This year is the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant and the act of Congress that set aside Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Big Tree Grove for “public use, resort, and rec- reation … inalienable for all time.” This “grant” of federal lands transferred Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove to the state of California, yet the 1864 Yosemite Act represents the first significant reservation of public land by the Congress of the United States—to be pre- served in perpetuity for the benefit of the entire nation. As Joseph Sax affirms, “The national parks were born at that moment.”1 In 1890, Congress incorporated Yosemite State Park into a much larger Yosemite National Park. The Yosemite Conservancy is marking the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant by releasing a new publication, Seed of the Future: Yosemite and the Evolution of the Nation­ al Park Idea, authored by the writer and filmmaker Dayton Duncan.2 The handsomely de- signed and generously illustrated book revisits the Yosemite Grant and the “evolution of the national park idea” and should attract a wide readership. This message is important, as the national significance of the Yosemite story has been obscured by time, incomplete documen- tation, and often-contradictory interpretations. A clearer understanding of the people and events surrounding the Yosemite Grant, in such a popular format, is particularly timely, not only for the celebration of Yosemite’s sesquicentennial, but also for the approaching 100th anniversary of the National Park Service (NPS) in 2016. It should be pointed out that Duncan is not the first recognize the significance of the Yosemite Grant.

  • Thomas Staff King February 11, 2018 Rev Lucy Bunch
    Courage and Commitment: Thomas Staff King February 11, 2018 Rev Lucy Bunch Last year my spouse Nancy and I went on a tourist day in San Francisco, including a tour on one of those double decker buses that are open on the top. Cruising through golden gate park, the tour guide pointed out the statue of Thomas Starr King – whom he said was a Unitarian Minister who helped keep California from joining the confederacy during the civil war. Nancy and I cheered energetically. The tour guide was amazed – “no one has ever cheered for this statue before” he told us. I told him that I was a Unitarian Universalist minister and that I was proud of my heritage. He was even more amazed, likely thinking that UU minister’s were a thing of the past. After that tour I realized, despite my cheering, and despite the fact that I attended a seminary named after Starr King, that I didn’t really know that much about him or his place in history. I knew he was both a Unitarian and Universalist minister. I knew he had been the minister of the San Francisco church, and that he was small and sickly. I also knew that in the mid twentieth century he had been chosen to represent California in the hall of statues at the US Capitol. And I knew that his statue had been replaced by Ronald Regan in 2009 and had found a home on the capitol grounds here in Sacramento. I wanted to learn more. Today I want to share with you what I learned.

How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

  • President's Letter
    President’s Letter - July 2018 Greetings LCWRT members: The LCWRT celebrates its nineteenth anniversary in 2019! Our fiscal year is from June 1, 2018 until May 31, 2019 so I am fortunate to be president during a rather auspicious time. Our 503c designation was granted in 2000. We plan to commemorate the former event and will provide details later. On May 23, before our performance of “My Friend Elizabeth Keckley”, a slate of officers was elected by LCWRT members in attendance. President: Michael Sweeney Vice President: Sandra Ottley Treasurer: Ron Albert Secretary: Dave McColloch Member-at-Large: Tom McNamara I am a native Pennsylvanian and moved to SCHH eight years ago from Philadelphia. Because of company transfers, I have lived in Detroit, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. My interest in Civil War history stems from my being born and raised in south central PA. In Carlisle - five miles south of my birthplace - JEB Stuart was involved in a minor skirmish on June 30, 1863, and then departed for Gettysburg which was 15 miles south. When Stuart had arrived in Carlisle, General “Baldy” Smith was occupying that town. In 1864 Gen. McCausland (CSA) demanded $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in cash from the inhabitants of Chambersburg – 25 miles west. When he didn’t get it, he ordered the town burned. Please be vocal in letting us know how we can serve you better. Also, if you wish to volunteer, let us know – I am at 843.707.7275. Michael Sweeney, President * * * With Thoughts Toward Officers in Love — October 2018 By Caroline Wallace Kennedy, Communications Chairman In October we will be hosting Candice Shy Cooper who will discuss her award-winning book: Lincoln's Generals' Wives: Four Women Who Influenced the Civil War — For Better and for Worse (Civil War in the North).

  • John Torrey: a Botanical Biography
    Reveal, J.L. 2014. John Torrey: A botanical biography. Phytoneuron 2014-100: 1–64. Published 14 October 2014. ISSN 2153 733X JOHN TORREY: A BOTANICAL BIOGRAPHY JAMES L. REVEAL School of Integrative Plant Science Plant Biology, 412 Mann Building Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853-4301 [email protected] ABSTRACT The role played by the American botanist John Torrey (1796–1873) in the development of floristics and the naming of plants, especially from the American West, is shown to be fundamental not only for present-day taxonomists in their monographic and floristics studies, and to historians in understanding the significance of discovering new and curious objects of nature in the exploration of the West but also the role Torrey directly and indirectly played in the development of such institutions as the New York Botanical Garden and the Smithsonian Institution. For the author of this 2014 paper, the name of John Torrey dates back to his earliest years of interests in botany, some 56 years ago, as even then Torrey was the kind of hero he could admire without resorting to comic books or movies. John Torrey has long been a “founding father” of North American systematic botany. Even so it was probably a bit unusual that a high school kid from the Sierra Nevada of California should know the name and even something about the man. It was Torrey who described plants with the explorer John Charles Frémont 1, and so by fate the three of us were thrown together while I penned a paper for a history class at Sonora Union High School in the spring of 1958.

  • Nature Writings: Words of the Rev. Thomas Starr King
    The Role of the Theologian inUnitarian Times ofUniversalist Terror member of the Graduate Theological Union Nature Writings: Words of the Rev. Thomas Starr King Arliss Ungar Ungar is a longtime supporter and former board member of Starr King School. Her deep interest in Untarian Universalist history and Thomas Starr King, the noted orator instrumental in keeping California in the Union during the Civil War, led her to research and write this paper, which she presented at the UUA 2004 General Assembly in Long Beach, Calif. Imagine a frail young man, not yet 40, shorter than I am, and weighing less. He has wide set eyes, lank blond hair and a passion for justice. Hear in your mind a deep, resonant voice that, unamplified, can move a crowd of 5,000 people to patriotic duty and instill in an individual a life- time of love and respect for him. That is the Reverend Thomas Starr King. Starr King lived in the mid-19th century, and his words reflect the language of his day and the theology of many Unitarians and Universalists at that time. After this presentation, for those who are interested, I can talk briefly about his life, and answer questions. The Rev. Thomas Starr King, both a Universalist and a Unitarian, was minister of the San Francisco Unitarian Society from 1860 to 1864. A pastor, patriot, humanitarian, educator, orator, writer, man of letters, journalist, fighter for justice, shaper of public opinion, and lover of nature, he is best known for his role in keeping California in the Union during the Civil War.

  • Who Was Thomas Starr King.A Readers Theater in Four Parts by Rev
    1 Who Was Thomas Starr King.A Readers Theater in Four Parts By Rev. Leslie Kee Opening Words: Small Duties (excerpt) by Rev. Thomas Starr King It is easier to fulfill the greatest than the smallest task. It is easier to perform the moral deed which the world must witness than to crush the small temptation which comes in our private hours, inviting to a little sin which the world can never know… And, therefore, small duties are the real test of power. You cannot know a man’s temper in company; see him at home. You cannot judge his piety at church; observe him through the business hours of a single day. You cannot infer his benevolence from his public charities and large subscriptions; watch his intercourse with the poor. It is the frequent gifts, yes, but it is the manner of giving, more than pure charity…that determine the purity and love of a person’s soul. First Reading Thomas Starr King was born in New York City, on December 17, 1824, to the Rev. Thomas Farrington King and Susan Starr King. His father, minister to the Charlestown Universalist Church, died at the age of 41. His son Thomas (who, out of respect for his maternal grandfather, went by his middle name Starr), went to work at the Navel Shipyards as a clerk in order to support his mother and five siblings, he was 15 years old. Even though he was forced to leave school early, Starr had been inspired by men like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Ward Beecher so he embarked on a program of self-study for the ministry.

  • Acknowledgments
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS WHEN I STARTED WORKING on this book in 2012, I was beginning to transi- tion away from journalistic art criticism and toward history. I expected that one of the pleasures of writing a big book on a major artist would be the solitariness, a pleasant loneliness. Instead it ended up being a richly col- laborative project. A quick story demonstrates how: In early 2016 I traveled to New England to research Carleton Watkins and his circle. Family friends David and Kathy Holdorf kindly put me up in their Concord, Massachusetts, home. One of my research targets was Ralph Waldo Emerson, with whom Watkins enabler Thomas Starr King regularly corresponded. I planned to study Starr King- Watkins-Emerson links at Harvard, which has a rich trove of Emerson pa- pers and Watkins photographs, and at the Concord Free Library, which Em- erson helped establish and where he probably left a set of Watkins’s glass stereographs of Yosemite. If I had time, I thought I’d try to talk my way into Emerson’s house, which is typically open only in the summer. Maybe, maybe, a picture that Starr had sent Emerson might be somewhere in the house, maybe in a desk or a closet. If I ran out of time to get there, so be it, but thoroughness dictated that I make an eff ort. Then, from my fi rst day in Concord, I encountered a repeating weird- ness: Friendly Concordians, such as the baristas at Haute Coff ee, two staff - ers at the Free Library, and my server at dinner one night, would ask me why xiii I was in town.
