    Oral history interview with Ann Wilson, 2009 April 19-2010 July 12 Funding for this interview was provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Ann Wilson on 2009 April 19-2010 July 12. The interview took place at Wilson's home in Valatie, New York, and was conducted by Jonathan Katz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ANN WILSON: [In progress] "—happened as if it didn't come out of himself and his fixation but merged. It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

    William Croghan, Sr

    WILLIAM CROGHAN, SR. [1752-1822]: A PIONEER KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN BY SAMUEL W. THOMAS, PH.D. Louisville, Kentucky By 1790, William Croghan was prepared to build his country seat. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, an accomplished surveyor, a rising entrepreneur, and within the year would become a father. The home he constructed a few miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, now on Blankenbaker Lane, withstood the test of time and in 1961 was purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the County of Jefferson. It has been restored by Jefferson County and Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. of Louisville to preserve and demonstrate a way of life led by a prominent pioneer Kentucky family and to serve as a fitting memorial to the home's most illustrious occupant, George Rogers Clark [1752-1818].1 William Croghan married General Clark's sister, Lucy Clark [1765-1838] in 1789 and the retired western military leader came to live permanently at the Croghan home, Locust Grove, in 1809. This paper is the result of the research program undertaken for the restoration of Locust Grove. The author wishes to thank Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. for its most generous support of the project. The land for Major Croghan's country seat was purchased on April 10, 1790, from a fellow surveyor, Hancock Lee [ca. 1736-1820]. The 387-acre tract near the fails of the Ohio River had been part of Colonel William Peachy's [1729-1802] 1,000-acre military land grant and its purchase cost 341 pounds.2 While the Georgian brick house was under construction, the family maintained a log cabin.

    Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, Records, 1902-2005 Rauh Jewish Archives Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania MSS #389 62 boxes (boxes 1-62): 31.0 linear feet Foreword - Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh The Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Greater Pittsburgh evolved from several institutions, each with its own history and each contributing to the establishment of the current JCC. Those institutions will be discussed in separate sections of this history, arranged in alphabetical order. In 1871, Jacob and Isaac Kaufmann, Jewish immigrants from Germany, founded J. Kaufmann & Brother, a merchant-tailoring establishment in the Birmingham section of Pittsburgh. They were soon joined by their younger brothers, Morris and Henry. The success of the business, which eventually became a Kaufmann’s Department Store in downtown Pittsburgh, enabled the Kaufmann families to establish a tradition of civic philanthropy. After World War II, the second generation of the Kaufmann family, Edgar J. and Oliver M. Kaufmann and their brothers-in-laws Irwin D. Wolf and Samuel E. Mundheim continued the family tradition of giving that had been started by the founding brothers. These gifts have contributed to the development of the Jewish community and the city at large. Historical Sketch of the Emma Kaufmann Camp (1908 - ) The Emma Kaufmann Camp (EKC) was founded in 1908 by two Kaufmann brothers, Isaac and Morris, in Harmarville, Pa. The camp was presented as a gift to the community in honor of Morris and Betty Wolf Kaufmann’s 25th wedding anniversary and in memory of Emma Kaufmann, the first wife of Isaac Kaufmann. The Kaufmann families and other donors supported the camp.

Dissertation Director: Jan Lewis This dissertation integrates my own specifying paradigm of “situational frontier” and his- torian David Day’s generalizing paradigm of “supplanting society” to contextualize one historical personage, George Croghan, who advanced the interests of four eighteenth-cen- tury supplanting societies—one nation (Great Britain) and three of its North American colonies (Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia)—in terms of three fields of endeavor, trade, diplomacy, and proprietorship. Croghan was an Irish immigrant who, during his working life on the “situational frontiers” of North America, mastered the intricacies of intercultural trade and diplomacy. His mastery of both fields of endeavor enabled him not only to create advantageous conditions for the governments of the three colonies to claim proprietorship of swaths of Indian land, but also to create advantageous conditions for himself to do likewise. The loci of his and the three colonies’ claims were the “situa- tional frontiers” themselves, the distinct spaces where particular Indians, Europeans, and Euro-Americans converged in particular circumstances and coexisted, sometimes peace- fully and sometimes violently. His mastery of intercultural trade and diplomacy enabled him as well to create advantageous conditions for Great Britain to claim proprietorship in the Old Northwest (present-day Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois) and for himself to do likewise.
