  • Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947
    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947 Transcribed from the American Art Annual by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director, Maine Historic Preservation Commission. Between 1897 and 1947 the American Art Annual and its successor volume Who's Who in American Art included brief obituaries of prominent American artists, sculptors, and architects. During this fifty-year period, the lives of more than twelve-hundred architects were summarized in anywhere from a few lines to several paragraphs. Recognizing the reference value of this information, I have carefully made verbatim transcriptions of these biographical notices, substituting full wording for abbreviations to provide for easier reading. After each entry, I have cited the volume in which the notice appeared and its date. The word "photo" after an architect's name indicates that a picture and copy negative of that individual is on file at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. While the Art Annual and Who's Who contain few photographs of the architects, the Commission has gathered these from many sources and is pleased to make them available to researchers. The full text of these biographies are ordered alphabetically by surname: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z For further information, please contact: Earle G.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE STRANGE CAREER OF RACE DISCRIMINATION IN ANTEBELLUM OHIO Paul Finkelmant The commonly told history of antebellum race relations in the midwest, especially in Ohio, is one of a bleak and dismal landscape, with discrimination everywhere. This view is expressed best by Leon Litwack's assertion that on the eve of the Civil War "the northern Negro remained largely disenfranchised, segregated, and economi- cally oppressed" and, just as importantly, "change did not seem im- minent."1 Similarly, Eugene Berwanger's influential book The Fron- tier Against Slavery claimed that "[d]iscrimination against Negroes in the Middle West reached its height between 1846 and 1860, the same years in which the slavery extension controversy became most ' acute. , The best study of post-civil war race relations in Ohio sum- marized the antebellum period with the glum conclusion, "[t]he late 1850s found most Ohio blacks pariahs, restricted and scorned, living in the state but in no accurate sense citizens."3 The author noted that national issues-the new, draconian Fugitive Slave Law of 18504 and6 the Dred Scott decision 5-" made the black position even less secure t Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Tulsa College of Law; B.A., Syracuse, 1971; M.A.

    The Journal of San Diego History “Your Affectionate Son, Robinson” American Expansionism and the Life of Captain Abraham Robinson Johnston, 1815-1846 Winner of the 2005 Milton Fintzelberg Memorial Award Steven L. Wright “I trust I may yet have many opportunities of meeting you again, but should I be denied that satisfaction, I trust I shall bear in mind the good you have done for me, and ever strive to imitate your example, and, pray that in leaving this world I may leave behind me so good a name.” Abraham Robinson Johnston to father, John Johnston, July 30, 18451 Captain Abraham Robinson Johnston of the First U. S. Dragoons was the first casualty in the Battle of San Pasqual, fought between the U. S. and Californio forces on December 6, 1846. Serving in the Army of the West under the command of General Stephen Watts Kearny, he and his fellow soldiers traveled 2,000 miles from Fort Leavenworth to obtain western territories from Mexico. Johnston remarked in a letter to his father that he hoped to see the Pacific Ocean, mentioning that he found San Diego, in particular the area around Warner’s Ranch, to be “a most enchanting sight.” His death, at the age of thirty-one, cut short his reflections. A series of letters and a gravestone remain the only physical evidence that he lived and died. 2 Johnston’s correspondence, dating from 1830 to 1846, lifts the shroud that for one-hundred and sixty years has concealed this idealistic and heretofore “unknown” soldier. The letters offer compelling views of frontier military life as well as elucidating opinions of an articulate soldier caught in the whirlwind of history—from Indian removal and expansionism to slavery and national politics.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOL. xx JUNE 1924 No. 2 General Washington Johnston By George R. Wilson. (Written for the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society) FOREWORD General Washington Johnston, Thomas Polke, Thomas Montgomery, Richard Palmer, and Ephraim Jourdan were the commissioners ap- pointed by the legislature of Indiana, on December ZOth, 1817, to meet at the house of William McDonald, on the second Monday in February, 1818, to organize Dubois county. General Johnston was chairman ef that commission, and it is in the nature of a belated tribnte of respect to the chairman of that commission that this sketch is written by one who has his home and kindred in Dubois county. General Washington Johnston was born November 10th 1776, in Culpepper county, Virginia, near where George Wash- ington had lived many years. He came to Vincennes, North- west territory, in 1793. He was the first postmaster of Vin- cennes (1800), the first lawyer in Vincennes, the organizer of the Knox County Bar Association, a member of the first ter- ritorial legislature (elected April 2nd, 1810) a member of the first board of trustees of Vincennes university, adjutant- general of Indiana territory, three times chairman of the bor- ough of Vincennes, twice president judge of the court, a mem- ber of the state legislature for several terms, and during the seventh session was speaker of the house of representatives. His name is on the muster roll of Tippecanoe. General W. Johnston's name is connected with the publication of early Indiana Territorial laws. He was auditor of Indiana territory, and its treasurer when it became a state.
