Blunt White Library at Mystic Seaport for this fifth volume as I did for the fourth which appeared in 1976. Unfor- tunately I was unable to arrange a visit to Mystic to accomplish that. Thus this fifth volume is similar ta the third in that it is based primarily upon the holdings of the Texas A&MUniversity Library. The holdings at Texas ASMrelative to maritime and naval history have improved substantially over the past years. This, plus a modest search of two historical data bases "America: History and Life" and "Historical Abstracts" have made it possible for this fifth volume to be more comprehensive than the third one was. The search of the data bases was funded through the Texas A&MUniversity Library Research Committee with monies made available by the University Research Council from the Organized Research Fund. The data bases contained a number of significant titles not written in English. I have in- cluded them even though such foreign language items have been ex- cluded from the previous four volumes. As has been my practice in the past, I have compiled complete author and vessel indexes and a selective subject index. Since the bibliography is arranged into seventeen broad subject areas, it appears that a detailed subject index is not an absolute necessity. Copies of the previous volumes are available as follows: To the best of my knowledge those covering the years 1970 and 1971 may still be purchased from Mystic Seaport Stores, Inc., Mystic, Connecti.cut, 06355. A few copies of the volume covering the years 1972-1973 are available from Sea Grant College Program, Texas A&MUniversity, College Station, Texas 77843. The supply of the 1974-1975 volume is exhausted. Microfiche copies of both the 1972-1973 and the 1974-1975 volumes are available from the National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. The order numbers are as follows: 1972-1973 COM-75 11775/AS; 1974-1975 PB-262462. Char1es R. Schultz January, 1979 I. GENERAL Baker, F. Edward, Jre N and C.

    ADDRESS BY THE HONORABLE EDWARD H. LEVI ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE DEDICATION CEREMONIES OF THE JOHN EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING 11:00 A.M. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1975 J. EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING WASHINGTON, D. C. We have come together to dedicate this new building as the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is a proper moment to look back to the tradition of this law enforcement organization as well as to look forward to t.he future it will meet in this new place. It was under Theodore Roosevelt that the predecessor of the FBI was founded. There was resistance to its creation. For varied reasons -- noble and base -- some feared the idea of a federal' criminal investigative agency within the Justice Department. But through'the persistence of Attorney General Charles Joseph Bonaparte the organization was formed. The resistance did not crumble when Bonaparte's idea was accompli-shed. There were bad years to follow for the Bureau. It did not escape the tarnish of the Teapot Dome era. The Justice Department and the Bureau were criticized for failing to attack official corruption with sufficient vigor. From this period the' Bureau emerged with a new beginning under the man to whose memory this new building is dedicated. John Edgar Hoover was 29 years old when Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone appointed him acting director of the Bureau in May of 1924. Hoover's reputation of scrupulous honesty had been commended to Stone. Such a man was needed. Hoover set about reforming the Bureau to meet the demanding requirements of a more complicated era.

    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard

    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Passing Through New Orleans There have been numerous times through the centuries that the phrase “passing through New Orleans” has been used. Sometimes the occasions and circumstances were happy, while some were frighteningly sad. Unwelcome visitors “passing through New Orleans” included the Aedes aegypti mosquito and the yellow fever deaths it brought. More than 41,000 victims died from the scourge of yellow jack in New Orleans between 1817 (the first year of reliable statistics) and 1905 (the Crescent City's last epidemic). Then there were all those hurricanes that, too, came uninvited. Who in the city can forget witnessing Hurricane Katrina passing through New Orleans on weather radar? But there was a multitude of welcome cargo, and the visitors that brought it alongside the city’s docks. President Thomas Jefferson could not understate the importance of this when he wrote, “There is on the globe one single spot, the possessor of which is our natural and habitual enemy. It is New Orleans, through which the produce of three-eighths of our territory must pass to market.” By 1802, when Jefferson wrote those words, over one million dollars in American trade was floating down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to this great port city. This comprised two-thirds of the commerce “passing through New Orleans”. Flatboats came down the Mississippi filled with flour, beef, bacon, pork, Indian corn, oats, peas, beans, cotton, tobacco, lard, tallow, live-stock, poultry, wines, whiskey, cider, furs and hides, marble, feathers and lead.
