  • The Sloat Family
    THE SLOAT FAMILY We are indebted to Mr. John Drake Sloat of St. Louis, Missouri, for the Sloat family data. We spent many years searching original unpublished church and court records. Mr. Sloat assembled this material on several large charts, beautifully executed and copies are on file at the New York Public Library. It was from copies of Mr. Sloat's charts that this book of Sloat Mss was assembled. from Charts made by John Drake Sloat [#500 below] Assembled by May Hart Smith {1941}[no date on LA Mss – must be earlier] Ontario, California. [begin transcriber notes: I have used two different copies of the original Mss. to compile this version. The first is a xerographic copy of the book in the Los Angeles Public Library (R929.2 S6338). The second, which is basically the same in the genealogy portion, but having slightly different introductory pages, is a print from the microfilm copy of the book in the Library of Congress. The main text is from the LA Library copy, with differences in the microfilm copy noted in {braces}. Notes in [brackets] are my notes. Note that the comparison is not guaranteed to be complete. As noted on the appropriate page, I have also converted the Roman numerals used for 'unconnected SLOATs' in the original Mss., replacing them with sequential numbers starting with 800 – to follow the format of Mrs. Smith in the rest of her Mss. I have also expanded where the original listed two, or sometimes even three, generations under one entry, instead using the consistent format of one family group per listing.

  • The Harlem Renaissance: a Handbook
    .1,::! THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY ELLA 0. WILLIAMS DEPARTMENT OF AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA JULY 1987 3 ABSTRACT HUMANITIES WILLIAMS, ELLA 0. M.A. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, 1957 THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK Advisor: Professor Richard A. Long Dissertation dated July, 1987 The object of this study is to help instructors articulate and communicate the value of the arts created during the Harlem Renaissance. It focuses on earlier events such as W. E. B. Du Bois’ editorship of The Crisis and some follow-up of major discussions beyond the period. The handbook also investigates and compiles a large segment of scholarship devoted to the historical and cultural activities of the Harlem Renaissance (1910—1940). The study discusses the “New Negro” and the use of the term. The men who lived and wrote during the era identified themselves as intellectuals and called the rapid growth of literary talent the “Harlem Renaissance.” Alain Locke’s The New Negro (1925) and James Weldon Johnson’s Black Manhattan (1930) documented the activities of the intellectuals as they lived through the era and as they themselves were developing the history of Afro-American culture. Theatre, music and drama flourished, but in the fields of prose and poetry names such as Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Zora Neale Hurston typify the Harlem Renaissance movement. (C) 1987 Ella 0. Williams All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special recognition must be given to several individuals whose assistance was invaluable to the presentation of this study.

  • Bloomingdale: Colonial Times and After the Revolutionary War by Pam Tice, Member of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group Planning Committee
    ===================================================================== RNA House History Club May 2021 ===================================================================== [The following post is the first of three documenting life in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in the colonial and revolutionary times. It can be seen on the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group blog site at: https://www.upperwestsidehistory.org/blog/march-30th-2021] Part 1: Bloomingdale: Colonial Times and after the Revolutionary War by Pam Tice, Member of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group planning committee Introduction A few months ago, a new website developed by John Jay College caught my attention. Like many institutions of higher education, the College was exploring the link between slavery and the famous man whose name adorns it. One of the resources used was the 1790 federal Census. I looked up Charles Ward Apthorp, whom I had written about previously, one of the colonial property owners in our Bloomingdale neighborhood. He owned eight slaves. That got me thinking: who were the other people in this census? How was the Bloomingdale neighborhood settled in the era before the Revolution? What was Bloomingdale like after the Revolution and in the early 1800s? I started to dig a bit deeper into the Bloomingdale history, beyond the work of numerous local historians who write about a particular property owner and the history of a mansion house, as I myself had done in writing about Apthorp’s mansion that became Elm Park. The Bloomingdale Road, authorized in 1703, and laid out in 1707, was key to the area’s development; Bloomingdale became more like a suburb of the city than what we call a neighborhood today.

  • Mannahatta: an Ecological First Look at the Manhattan Landscape Prior to Henry Hudson
    2007 NORTHEASTERNNATURALIST 14(4):545-570 Mannahatta: An Ecological First Look at the Manhattan Landscape Prior to Henry Hudson Eric W. Sanderson1* and Marianne Brown2 - Abstract The British Headquarters Map, circa 1782, provides a remarkable win dow onto the natural topography, hydrology, and land cover of Manhattan Island, a NY, before extensive urbanization. Manhattan formerly hosted rugged topogra phy watered by over 108 km of streams and at least 21 ponds, flowing in and out of wetlands that covered nearly 10% of the island in the late 18th century. These features are largely representative of the landscape prior to European settlement. We used ecological features interpreted from the British Headquarters Map, and ad ditional historical, ecological, and archeological information, to hypothesize about the ecosystem composition of the pre-European island. We suggest that 54 different ecological communities may have once been found on the island or in nearby waters, including chestnut-tulip tree forests, Hempstead Plains grasslands, freshwater and tidal marshes, hardwood swamps, peatlands, rocky headwater streams, coastal-plain ponds, eelgrass meadows, and culturally derived ecosystems, such as Native Ameri can village sites and fields. This former ecosystem mosaic, consisting of over 99% natural areas, stands in sharp contrast to the 21st-century state of the island in which only 3% of its area is dedicated to ecological management. Introduction To students of the natural history of New York City, an interest in the past ecology of the local region is almost inevitable because the modern cityscape is so markedly different from the historical landscape (Hornaday 1909, Kieran 1959, Shorto, 2004).

  • Black Urban Modernity of the Harlem Renaissance: a Dialectical Negotiation Between Urban Individuality and Community in Toni Morrison’S Jazz Han Chen-Wei
    Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 7.1．December 2013．119-148. Black Urban Modernity of the Harlem Renaissance: A Dialectical Negotiation between Urban Individuality and Community in Toni Morrison’s Jazz Han Chen-wei ABSTRACT Inspired by a photograph taken by James Van Der Zee in 1926 of a dead black girl lying in a decorated coffin, Morrison sets out to write a revisionist history of the Harlem Renaissance, or the Jazz Age, in the 1920s in her sixth novel and the second of her love trilogy, Jazz (1992). And, without mentioning, let alone celebrating, the cultural, artistic, social, and even political events and accomplishments of the Harlem Renaissance, Morrison offers her own revisionist history of Harlem by depicting the experiences and traumas of migrant blacks from the South. But what is so unique about Morrison’s literary historiography of the life of Harlem in Jazz? What are the unspoken aspects of the urban experiences of African Americans in Harlem? What are the similarities and differences between the social life of the blacks of the rural South and that of migrant blacks from the South in the urban North? How do the urban experiences of the migrant blacks contest and destabilize the popular formulations of urban experiences observed and developed by certain white, male theorists? In other words, how does Morrison represent and conceptualize a distinctive form of urban modernity in the region of Harlem of New York in the context of the Northern Migration and Harlem Renaissance? In light of Jennifer Robinson’s “ordinary-city”
