WALL THE STUYVESANT FAMILY BIBLE BY MAJOR EDWARD VAN WINKLE Formerly Recording Secretary of the Holland Society of New York Family Bibles containing records and dates and signatures are always of interest to particular families; when the people recorded in them are of importance, they interest others as well, for their contributions to genealogy and history; and when the Bibles are rare editions, they become a study for bibliographers. The Stuy­ vesant Family Bible here pictured and described exemplifies to an unusual degree this three-fold interest. The writer, used to the frequent sights of our most ancient treasures, and trained by service to seek them, views this book as the most fascinating in history of ownership of any book yet found, connected with New Amsterdam.

This master’s thesis uses as an example Washington Square Park, which has become a center of contention due to the interplay of public and private interests.

  • BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus
    BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus (1837–1907): Sculptor and painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes (showing everyday life). Antrobus was born in England but came to Philadelphia in 1850. During his travels through the American West and Mexico, he worked as a portraitist before opening a studio in New Orleans. He served briefly with the Confederate Army during the Civil War before moving to Chicago. Antrobus sculpted both Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas and was the first artist to paint a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant (in 1863). Edward Atkinson (1827–1905): American political leader and economist who began his political career as a Republican supporter of the Free Soil movement. Atkinson fought slavery before the Civil War by helping escaped slaves and raising money for John Brown. After the Civil War, in 1886, Atkinson campaigned for future President Grover Cleveland and worked against imperialism (the movement to expand a nation’s territorial rule by annexing territory outside of the main country) after the Spanish-American War. Baker & Co (active, 19th century): Lithography firm associated with Louis Kurz. Thomas Ball (1819–1911): American sculptor who gained recognition for his small busts before creating more monumental sculptures. Notable works include one of the first statues portraying Abraham Lincoln as the Great Emancipator (1876), paid for by donations from freed slaves and African American Union veterans, which stands in Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Park. Ball also created a heroic equestrian statue of George Washington for the Boston Public Garden (1860–1864). He joined an expatriate community in Italy, where he received many commissions for portrait busts, cemetery memorials, and heroic bronze statues.

  • Chapter 3: the Patrician Response
    3 The Patrician Response On the north side of Washington Square, on the square itself and on streets adjacent to lower Fifth Avenue, were the homes of the upper- class Villagers. These patricians were Protestants of Dutch, English, and French stock, some of them heirs to old wealth and to the handsome resi- dences that their parents or grandparents had built before the Civil War. Culturally, religiously, and politically, the north Village gentry had little in common with most of their near neighbors, the working-class and immi- grant Villagers who lived south and west of the square. Italian immigrants and Irish Americans worshipped at Catholic churches, while the gentry at- tended Sunday services at Protestant edifices along lower Fifth Avenue, elite congregations such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Irish, Italian, and African American Villagers gathered to drink and socialize in the numerous working-class saloons of the west and south Village, while the Protestant elite socialized in the ele- gant drawing rooms of their homes. These cultural and class contrasts were reflected in political rivalries, especially between the Irish Villagers loyal to the Democratic machine and the patrician Villagers who deeply distrusted Tammany rule. Again and again the Village gentry, whether they were Re- publicans, Independents, or Democrats, organized to challenge Tammany’s control of the city. By the turn of the twentieth century, the future of this upper-class north 77 78 chapter three Village enclave seemed increasingly uncertain. Tenementhousing and Ital- ian immigrants were invading the Village from the south, and commercial buildings were encroaching on the square from the east.
