  • The Rees and Carrington Extracts
    THE REES AND CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1936 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’ (from January 1914 onwards, these include the ‘Rees Extracts’. – in the Index we have differentiated between them by using the same date conventions as in the text – black date for Carrington, Red date for Rees). In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, “R. to Academy dinner” clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case – it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But “Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes’s” probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., “Mrs. Kipling leaves”, without any indication of when she had come – but if it’s not in the ‘Extracts’ (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event. We would also emphasise that the index does not necessarily give a complete record of who the Kiplings met, where they met them and what they did. It’s only an index of what remains of Carrie’s diaries, as recorded by Carrington and Rees. (We know a lot more about those people, places and things from, for example, Kipling’s published correspondence – but if they’re not in the diary extracts, then they won’t be found in this index.) Another factor is that both Carrington and Rees quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification.

  • Anglo-American Marital Relations 1870 - 1945 Transcript
    Anglo-American marital relations 1870 - 1945 Transcript Date: Tuesday, 2 March 2004 - 12:00AM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall Anglo-American Marital Relations 1870 - 1945 Professor Kathleen Burk On the 6th November 1895, the streets between 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City were lined with spectators. They had come to see the journey to St. Thomas’ Church of the principals in the newest of the international marriages, that between the American railway heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt and the 9th Duke of Marlborough. The choir was sixty-strong, a symphony orchestra played the ‘Wedding March’, a bishop conducted the proceedings. It was, perhaps, unfortunate that the bride’s face was puffy from crying at her fate. Beginning about 1870, the union of American money and the British aristocracy was a continuing theme in the Anglo-American relationship. This was a development which had its basis in economics - in American economic growth and British sectoral economic decline. However, it was probably the social aspects which mesmerised American public opinion over five decades. Indeed, such marriages continued thereafter, although usually attracting much less publicity - with the overwhelming exception of that between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs Wallis Warfield Simpson in 1938. Yet there was something special about the earlier period: perhaps it was the number of such unions, or the amount of cash involved. Perhaps it was the sheer hard- headedness of many of the transactions. For whatever reasons, these fairy tales - or horror stories - provided the plot for many a newspaper article, novel and play. But there was another tale, one less sprinkled with stardust and less immortalised in song and story.

  • Unconventional Wisdom
    Unconventional Wisdom A COMMONER’S TOUCH Kate Middleton’s dazzling social high-jump—from the pretty middle-class daughter of self-made millionaires to the future queen of England—is spectacular. But singular? Not really, says historian Amanda Foreman, who argues that Middleton’s climb to the top is actually part of a centuries-old—and very (gasp!) American—tradition.

  • The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont.” the Long Island Historical Journal 6 (Fall 1993):96-105
    Previously published in The Long Island Historical Journal. Revised and updated in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Raymond E. “In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont.” The Long Island Historical Journal 6 (Fall 1993):96-105. In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont by Raymond E. Spinzia . Factors which, in the mid 1840s, encouraged the establishment of estates on the South Shore of New York’s Long Island included: the comradery afforded by the Southside Sportsmen's Club, whose members were among the wealthiest individuals in the nation; the flat terrain, which made it ideally suited to horsemanship; and the sea breezes, which even today make it a sailor's paradise. The South Shore Gold Coast eventually extended from Babylon to Bayport. By and large, these estates were originally perceived as rustic hideaways for the rapidly increasing number of Manhattan and Brooklyn millionaires. Indeed, by the 1880s Long Island's South Shore was considered a chic place in which to vacation.1 William Kissam Vanderbilt Sr. was the most prominent of the South Shore millionaires and his wife, Alva, without doubt, was the most ambitious. Indeed it was Alva who propelled the Vanderbilt family into the rarefied air of society's famous “Four Hundred.” Alva Vanderbilt She was born on January 17, 1853, in Mobile, Alabama, to Murray Forbes Smith, a successful cotton broker, and Phoebe Desha Smith, the daughter of General and Tennessee Congressman Robert Desha. Her uncle was Kentucky's Governor Joseph Desha, from whom President Lyndon Baines Johnson could also trace his ancestry.2 A year or so prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Alva's father moved his family to New York City.

Nearly 600 remarkable lots spanning five categories will be offered, with the sale expected to realize in excess of $6 million. Works of exceptional and royal provenance will be offered, as the sale features property from multiple private collections. Property from the Collection of Dr. and Mrs. Francis D. Fowler, Property from the Collection of Dr. Larry Ayres, and Property from the Collection of Gep Durenberger are particularly notable. Prominent in the Collection of Dr. and Mrs. Francis D. Fowler are two pairs of George II walnut side chairs (estimate: $80,000-120,000 per pair). The chairs were likely made by renowned cabinet maker Giles Grendey, as the characteristic hipped front legs with dimpled shell and pendant husk and pearls, as well as the elaborate scallop panel, are features that appear on a set which bears his label. While Grendey supplied a number of walnut and mahogany pieces to notable houses, he is probably best known for the extensive suite of scarlet japanned furniture he executed for the Duke of Infantado‟s castle at Lazcano, Spain, many pieces of which are now in public collections throughout the world. Also on offer in the sale is a selection of furniture and ceramics from the charming personal collection of Gep Durenberger, long-term dealer and founder of the Decorative Arts Study Center in Southern California who has been featured in magazines such as House and Garden and Town and Country.

    THE KINDNESS OF UNCLE SAM? “THE KINDNESS OF UNCLE SAM”?: AMERICAN AID TO FRANCE AND THE POLITICS OF POSTWAR RELIEF, 1944-1948 By BRITTANY GATAVECKAS, M.A., B.A. (Hon.) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Brittany Gataveckas, September 2018 McMaster University DOCTOR OF ARTS (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: “The Kindness of Uncle Sam”?: American Aid to France and the Politics of Postwar Relief, 1944-1948 AUTHOR: Brittany Gataveckas, M.A., B.A. (Hon.) (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor M. Horn NUMBER OF PAGES: 235 ii Lay Abstract This dissertation contributes to literature on postwar philanthropy and Franco- American relations. It examines American Aid to France (AAF), one of hundreds of U.S. private voluntary relief organizations founded during the Second World War to help devastated civilians. Operating from 1944 to 1956, AAF’s efforts to provide emergency supplies, rehabilitative services, and assist in the reconstruction of Liberated France was a significant private affirmation of the Franco-American alliance during a period of increasingly tense international relations. Private voluntary relief organizations have been overlooked in scholarship in favour of larger agencies such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), which has resulted in a considerable emphasis on transnationalism in the literature on postwar relief. Examining Franco- American relations through the prism of AAF’s relief reveals that a dynamic alternative network of private assistance, which operated firmly outside of the transnational relief movement, contributed in meaningful ways to France’s recovery.
