The following, therefore, is just a partial consideration of those who deserve credit for this dissertation. The faculty of California State University, Sacramento, particularly Chloe Burke, Frank Garosi, Charles Postel, Brian Schoen, and Mona Siegel, encouraged me through their words and deeds to become a historian. Robert Dimit and Robin Nagle offered me further encouragement at New York University. Without the advice of Peter Wosh, I would have not been able to obtain a foothold as a scholar, and his continued support has been one of the things keeping me going throughout this project. At the University of California, Riverside, I have had the fortunate experience of having many scholars whom have been willing to offer their support over the last seven years.

Connolly On January 13, 1914 James Michael Curley defeated South Boston’s Thomas J. Kenny in the race to serve as Mayor of Boston for the next four years. In Curley’s lengthy political career, spanning fifty years in and out of elective office, he would run for Mayor ten times and be successful in four of those contests. There is much about the election of 1914 which suggests it to be perhaps the most crucial and formative of Curley’s political life. He was not the first Irishman elected as Boston’s Mayor, that distinction rested with Irish-born Hugh O’Brien who was elected in 1885.

VICE PRESIDENT OF MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PORTLAND, MAINE PRIVATELY PRINTED 1944 Copyright 1944 by Charles ]. Nichols, Portland, Maine The Southworth-Anthoensen Press, Portland, Maine NICHOLS GENEALOGY TO THE MEMORY OF MY WIFE THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS MY CONSTANT COMPANION WHO INSPIRED THIS UNDERTAKING BUT PASSED ON BEFORE ITS COMPLETION THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED. PREFACE ALMOST every book in its first edition has, or should fi have, an errata or addenda. This is bound to be true of a family genealogy, although it usually has not more than one edition. A century or more ago the dates of births, marriages and deaths, if recorded at all, were often reported from memory by some member of the family long after the occurrence. They frequently were recorded in the family Bible years later. The compiler has found the date of the birth of a child recorded twice in a town clerk's office. Herein may appear dates at variance with other records and, in some cases, a doubt exists as to the correct date. In many instances, the date of a birth or of a death varies by a day or two in different records. These the compiler has verified by statements of persons living, whenever possible, and accepted the date given by members of the family. In a pamphlet published by my uncle, Capt. Edward P. Nichols, in 1882, under the title Jncornplete Farnily Record oj ]arnes Nichols, he asked that someone continue the genealogy.

This organization evolved as a reaction to local and national events, including the Palmer Raids and the wider Red Scare following World War I, as well as the Anti-Anarchy Bill passed by the Massachusetts General Court in the wake of the Roxbury “red riot” and the Lawrence textile mill strike.

  • Perceptions of Traffic Congestion in Boston in the 1890S and 1920S
    The Congestion Evil: Perceptions of Traffic Congestion in Boston in the 1890s and 1920s by Asha Elizabeth Weinstein A.B. (Harvard University) 1993 M.S.

Then, as today, public discussions of policies to relieve congestion were based upon ideas about such issues as what causes congestion and why it matters. To understand how congestion was perceived in these eras, I used a case study approach, looking at discussions of it during two sets of planning debates. The first case is a debate from 1891 to 1894 that led to the building of a subway in downtown Boston. The second case is a debate in the mid-1920s over plans for the so-called “loop highway,” a boulevard running through the downtown. I posed three research questions to limit and define the meaning of the term “perceptions” for this analysis: why did Bostonians think traffic congestion was a problem, what did they think caused congestion, and what policies did they think might 1 reduce it? To answer these questions, I analyzed the words of the people involved in the debates, using materials such as newspapers, government publications, and magazines.
