Introduction and Afterword by Lewis L. Gould. Published for the National Archives Trust Fund Board. PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) -- Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.

    Placing Daniel Ottolengui (1836-1918) in the Heritage of Hate

    Elements of Bile: Placing Daniel Ottolengui (1836-1918) in the Heritage of Hate Sally Stokes AROUND AND ABOUT IN OLD NEW YORK: LITERARY AND THEATRICAL GOINGS-ON Just east of Broadway, in 1846, Isaac D. Baker and Charles Scribner opened their publishing house on Nassau Street near Ann Street in lower Manhattan.1 By the time of the Civil War, Baker & Scribner had cemented a reputation for thoughtful and elevating texts. In 1867, the firm, now Charles Scribner & Co., having moved up to 654 Broadway and released a miscellany of Christian meditations, poetry by Robert Burns, and a transla- tion of the Iliad, had picked up Henry Ward Beecher’s Norwood, or Village Life in New England. This lone novel by Beecher—orator, abolitionist, and minister of Brooklyn’s Plymouth Church—had run as a serial in Robert Bonner’s paper, the New York Ledger, starting in early May.2 The Ledger’s May 9th advertisement in the New York Times captured more than two dozen reviews. From the Titusville Herald: “If Beecher can write an ‘entertaining’ sermon [. .], it is [. .] not to be feared that he will write a ‘dull’ novel.” Turf, Field and Farm fawned, or perhaps chortled, “[It] gives promise of great power and brilliancy.”3 Not cited was Flake’s Bulletin: “Worse novels have been read, and a great many better ones have died. [. It] will be hardly known five years hence” (“Eminent”; “Beecher’s Novel”).4 Norwood is replete with stereotypes, such as hack-driver Hiram Beers and African American Pete Sawmill. The saga follows Abiah and Rachel Cathcart and their adult children, Alice and Barton.

    CREATING LASTING LEGACIES AND POWERFUL POSITIONS: A Survey History of the Roles, Traditions, Impacts and Influences of Sixteen First Ladies of the United States, from 1789-2001. By Jess R. Gagliardi A THESIS Submitted to Adams State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.A. in United States History May 2015 ABSTRACT CREATING LASTING LEGACIES AND POWERFUL POSITIONS By Jess R. Gagliardi First ladies are an important element in presidential administrations and have parallel structures, as they are in a position to be leaders, have important roles, supported various causes and have tremendous influence over presidents. First ladies have developed this role from scratch, entirely since Martha Washington who built a powerful institution in the federal government. Many first ladies have sponsored programs and causes, and have been role models for the people of their times. At times, activism by these women in support of causes and policies has run afoul of social convention and ideological opposition, consistent with evolving roles and expectations for women. Sixteen first ladies have been highly influential in creating and establishing influence and importance in United States History. The early first ladies of influence and importance include: Martha Washington, Dolley Madison, Sarah Polk, Mary Todd Lincoln, Lucy Hayes, Edith Wilson and Lou Hoover. In 1933, Eleanor Roosevelt significantly changed the role of first lady, becoming a vital facet of the presidential administration. First ladies since 1945 of authority and influence include: Bess Truman, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford, Rosalynn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton. Each of these ladies have established themselves as assets to presidents, and enlarged their public role beyond serving as the unofficial White House hostess.

Anness Page, U.S. House of Representatives (1949–1951) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript April 9, 2013 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. "...[I]t was in the fall of 1947 that, for some minor infraction of the rules, I was being held in detention after school in Hamilton High School. Having no constructive purpose in mind, and absolutely no desire to complete my homework assignments, I was glancing around the room for something to read when I spotted a civics textbook. Out of sheer boredom, I began thumbing through its pages and, by chance, came upon a chapter outlining the function of the United States Congress, including a photograph of a House Page at work. Underneath the photo was a brief explanation of his duties. Immediately I said to myself, 'That’s for me,' and I spent the remaining hour of my incarceration trying to figure how I could get from Hamilton, Ohio, to Washington, D.C." Albert R. Anness April 9, 2013 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biography iv Interview 1 Notes 38 Abstract When Albert Anness first learned about the House Page Program in his high school civics textbook in 1947, he set his sights on working in the Capitol. After volunteering for state and federal Democratic campaigns, Anness received a Page appointment from Congressman Edward Breen of Ohio at the start of the 81st Congress (1949-1951). In his oral history, Anness traces his time living and working in Washington, D.C., in the years following World War II.
