BUCK THIS New England youth, Franklin A. Buck, has painted for us a glowing picture of a day long since passed—a day replete with adventure and romance. As we peruse these fascinating letters, we sense the courage and indomitable spirit inherited from his Colonial forbears. Sterling men A Yankee trader in the gold rush; the letters of Franklin A. Buck. Compiled by Katherine A. White http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.067 and women were those ancestors who were responsible for the founding of the Colonies. Small wonder that their descendants should be imbued with that Wanderlust that ever beckoned toward the Golden West. This lusty youth, graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, was a direct descendant of two famous families: Colonel Jonathan Buck, a man of ardent temperament and iron will, founded the town of Bucksport, Maine, the birthplace of the author. The Buck family trace back to one Sir Hugh Buck, who was Master of the Rolls under King James and Queen Elizabeth. Colonel Dummer Sewall, his great-grandfather, founded Bath, Maine. Both were Revolutionary heroes, and Colonel Sewall, a brilliant scholar, and leader of his community, was elected a delegate to the First Continental Congress. He left a magnificent collection of three hundred letters which are greatly prized by the Sewall family—the shipbuilders of Bath, Maine. This flair for letter-writing, the keeping of diaries, etc., seems to be a direct throw-back to the famous Judge Sewall whose letters and diaries are so well known and widely read. viii With such a splendid background, no wonder my father inherited a strong, rugged character and brilliant mentality. He was always foremost in his community to uphold the glory and honor of his country—intensely patriotic, imbued with the highest ideals, and a great lover of music, literature, and art. Grand Opera was his special predilection. The noble sister, Mary Sewall Bradley, was a woman of admirable character and attainments. Seldom does a brother express so much affection for a sister as is found in these letters. If the publication of this very intimate correspondence, touching so vitally the early history of California, shall serve to keep alive the interest in those glamorous days, and awaken a more thorough appreciation of the brave pioneer men and women who have given to us this Golden Empire of the West, I shall feel that I have added my bit to the effort that is being made to bring the early California history to the public of to-day. A Yankee trader in the gold rush; the letters of Franklin A. Buck. Compiled by Katherine A. White http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.067 MARY SEWALL BUCK CARR A YANKEE TRADER IN THE GOLD RUSH THE LETTERS OF FRANKLIN A. BUCK A YANKEE TRADER IN THE GOLD RUSH NEW YORK, November 24, 1846 DEAR SISTER: It is hard for me to write my thoughts. If I was with you I could talk more in five minutes than I can write on two sheets of paper. But I must begin to practise at this kind of work more than I have done. In regard to myself, I am very glad I left B. Here is the place to find business of all kinds and as my friends here interest themselves for me I think there is a prospect of my doing something. There is quite a change between living in the two places but I like a city the best. I shall make New York my home for the present. Tim Smith has introduced me to all his friends. I like his Cousin Bill very much. I walk up to see him at his uncle's on Sundays and go to church with him in the afternoon. I have made some acquaintances in Brooklyn and like the people very much but I had rather board in New York and shall go in the Spring. I visit at Alfred's and Sarah's and Bigelow's very often. John and I go down to Sarah's about twice a week and have a good game of whist. That's forbidden fruit in Bucksport but here it is quite different. Public Opinion is not quite so strong against dancing, whist and the theatre here. A Yankee trader in the gold rush; the letters of Franklin A. Buck. Compiled by Katherine A. White http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.067 The ceremony of installing the pastor over the Pilgrim's Church came off last Thursday. The singing was very good. They have got a fine organ in this church. Next to Trinity it is the largest in the country. The best singing I have heard was at George Reatt's choir. He 2 beats Mason. The first treble singer is the best voice I ever heard. I wish our choir in B. could hear them once. They have as much quarrelling in the choir here as at home. Bigelow and his wife have left because Uncle Richard said he had as leave hear it thunder as hear her sing. Others will not sing without pay. As they do not hire any singers they are jealous of each other, get mad and sit below. In fact singers are the same all over the world. I have to work hard now but as soon as the canal closes it will be easy. I suppose you are froze up at home by this time. It begins to be cooler here but there is not much snow here in the winter. No sleigh riding for me this winter. All the riding I have is in the omnibus when I go up Broadway. It is cheap. You can go three miles for six cents. The next journey you take come out here. Don't stop at Boston. That's small compared to this. If you want to see the fashions come out here and walk up Broadway at four in the afternoon and I will show you the two belles and all the lions of the day. Next year I shall expect to see you here. NEW YORK, January 10, 1847 I have sat down to converse with you once more through the medium of the mail and like all persons when they don't know how to begin, commence with the weather. We have had just about such weather as you have in April or the first of January. The thermometer stood only six degrees lower in Brooklyn than it did the fourth of July last, but it has changed for the worse since and now snows. We have not had any sleighing yet. Don't want to see any snow here. It only makes it muddy. We have Christmas and New Year's here as holidays. No business done at all. A Yankee trader in the gold rush; the letters of Franklin A. Buck. Compiled by Katherine A. White http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.067 On Christmas the Catholics and Episcopalians have a 3 great time trimming the churches with evergreens and have a service all day. I attended three churches. Trinity Church looked splendid and they had fine music. New Year's Day all the male part of the city call on the female. Wherever you go you will find all the girls dressed out in their best, sitting up very prim, to receive the young men. In the other parlor you will find a splendid table set out, well furnished with all the good things of this life, wine not excepted. About ten o'clock the streets begin to be filled with men going the rounds. The ‘upper crust’ go in carriages, of course, but there are plenty left to go afoot. They continue to call till ten at night or till they get so corned (which is generally the case) that they are obliged to retire. On New Year's night it reminded me of the time when musters were in fashion down East. About the time they were coming home, running into the stone walls, singing and shouting and fighting, the streets here presented just such a picture. There is no such thing as Temperance known here. All classes of the community imbibe and liquor is sold openly at every eating house and oyster saloon in the city. It is well I don't love it. I have joined a musical society which Smith has the direction of.

Jortner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation, prepared towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, examines “Yankee Theatre” in America and London through a post-colonial lens from 1787 to 1855. Actors under consideration include: Charles Mathews, James Hackett, George Hill, Danforth Marble and Joshua Silsbee. These actors were selected due to their status as iconic performers in “Yankee Theatre.” The Post-Revolutionary period in America was filled with questions of national identity. Much of American culture came directly from England. American citizens read English books, studied English texts in school, and watched English theatre. They were inundated with English culture and unsure of what their own civilization might look like.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

    Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E. Saunders fishing company of Pensacola, FL. The Lettie G. Howard was launched in 1893 in Essex, MA, built at the legen- Lettie G.

  • Canadian Rail No162 1965
    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

  • Guarding the Historical Record from the Nazi-Era Art Litigation Tumbling Toward the Supreme Court
    ESSAY GUARDING THE HISTORICAL RECORD FROM THE NAZI-ERA ART LITIGATION TUMBLING TOWARD THE SUPREME COURT † JENNIFER ANGLIM KREDER When the modern wave of claims against museums to recover paintings “displaced” during the Nazi era began, I, as an academic, approached the claims cautiously because I assumed that our es- teemed institutions would not have knowingly profited from the spoli- ation of property belonging to millions of persecuted refugees. I was wrong. I have come to understand, based on objective, historically sound records, that a significant number of our museums during and in the aftermath of the Holocaust actively acquired art that they knew or should have recognized likely came from Jewish homes and busi- nesses. These museums acquired this exquisite art despite widespread knowledge of Nazi looting and governmental warnings about the in- fection of the art market.1 Now, museums are using American courts to shut down inquiries into such art’s history by blocking claims on technical grounds,2 contrary to their own ethics guidelines3 and U.S. executive policy.4 † Jennifer Anglim Kreder is a Professor of Law at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law, Northern Kentucky University. She has been involved in Holocaust-era and art litigation since 1999 and currently serves as Co-Chair of the American Society of Inter- national Law Interest Group on Cultural Heritage and the Arts. 1 See Raymond J. Dowd, Federal Courts and Stolen Art: Our Duty to History, FED. LAW., July 2008, at 4, 4-6 (discussing a 1950 U.S. State Department bulletin on re- ports of stolen art).

Original Article “Better than White trash”: Work ethic, Latinidad and Whiteness in rural Arkansas Miranda Cady Hallett Otterbein University, OH Abstract Diverse sites in the US South are being transformed by “new Latino immigration.” Rather than being a homogeneous process, experiences of migrant settlement are shaped by the racialized social worlds of particular historical social communities – and may in turn transform local racial formations (Winders, 2005). In one small town in rural Arkansas, Latina and Latino migrants perform boundary work (Lamont, 2000; Hartigan, 2010), constructing their identities as “good” workers and neighbors. Although migrants assert belonging and dignity by framing themselves as “better than White trash,” nonetheless this belonging is predicated on the reproduction of racial and class hierarchy as well as conformity to the structural demands of neoliberal capitalism.
