COZZENS Ironmaking in Missouri had its inception when Ashebran's furnace was established near Ironton in 1815 or 1816,2 five or six years before the State was admitted to the Union. From this time until the decline of the industry in the 1890s, iron exerted a strong influence upon Missouri geography and history. Furnaces and forges established in the Ozark hills greatly accelerated the development of that area by providing a cash product, employment for settlers, and a market for the produce of the frontier farms. Furthermore, the pioneer ironworks, because of their need for transportation facilities, soon became the nuclei of road systems and later influenced the route of railroads. The influence of iron upon the develop­ ment of Missouri is to be seen also in the character and localiza­ tion of some of the St. Louis industries and in certain serious land-use problems of the Ozarks today. Wrought iron, unlike most other products of the Missouri frontier, could bear the cost of transportation to St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh by virtue of its high value. For this reason, it became one of the principal commodities shipped to the cities in exchange for manufactured goods. Supplies obtained in this way were sold by the ironworks general stores both to employees and to the people of the surrounding country. Farmers disposed of their produce in the ironworks settlements and during off seasons obtained employment as woodcutters, charcoal burners, and teamsters. 1The completion of the field work and library research upon which this article is based was made possible by a grant from the Society Science Research Council of New York for the summer of 1940. The writer also is indebted to those who assisted him in the collection of information for this study and especially to the State Historical Society of Missouri at Columbia and to Miss Stella M. Drumm of the Missouri Historical Society of St. Louis for numerous helpful suggestions regarding source material. Specific acknowledgments of information gained from personal interviews appear as footnotes. Copies of early Missouri maps were made available through the courtesy of the National Archives, Washington, D. C. 2Swank, James M., History of the Manufacture of Iron in All Ages, pp. 332-33. (509) 510 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW Figure 1 THE IRON INDUSTRY OF MISSOURI 511 Thus, the ironworks furthered the settlement of lands within trading distance of the plants. Prior to the establishment of iron furnaces in the interior of Missouri, the roads of that area were few and as a rule poorly adapted to the transportation of heavy loads. From the late 1830s, however, until the start of the railroad era in the 1860s, numerous roads were built or improved, primarily to connect the ironworks and their markets. The resulting road pattern which centered around furnaces, now no longer operating, is not always well adapted to present-day needs. Consequently, some roads which were then well located and quite important have degenerated into lanes or have been abandoned entirely, whereas other parts of the system are still in use. Sections of the Old Iron road between Maramec spring and Hermann correspond to the present Missouri High­ way 19, but other parts are almost impassable. (See Figure 1. The numbers on this map refer to furnaces and forges listed on Figure 2.) On the other hand, the Springfield or Wire road from St. James, west, has with some alteration of route become a part of U. S. Highway 66. Later, when the construc­ tion of the early railroads in southern Missouri was under­ taken, the organizers counted on the furnaces for a con­ siderable volume of freight and planned their lines accordingly. The Iron Mountain railroad, for example, ran from St. Louis through Iron Mountain, Missouri, and was designed, at least in part, to facilitate the development of ironworking in that area. Correspondingly, the Southwestern Branch of the Pacific railroad, now the Frisco, served the Maramec and Moselle ironworks (Figure 1). St. Louis, in its industrial development, bespeaks the influence of ironmaking in Missouri and adjacent Illinois. Commencing in 1828 with the establishment of the first successful foundry in St. Louis by Sam Gaty, John A. Morton, and Richards,3 plants using or processing Missouri iron increased in size and number until in 1856 the annual produc­ tion of iron manufactures in St. Louis was $5,000,000.4 The factories which consisted chiefly of foundries and rolling mills 3Scharf, J.

IMMACULATE DEFAMATION: THE CASE OF THE ALTON TELEGRAPH By: Alan M. Weinberger* ABSTRACT At the confluence of three major rivers, Madison County, Illinois, was also the intersection of the nation’s struggle for a free press and the right of access to appellate review in the historic case of the Alton Telegraph. The newspaper, which helps perpetuate the memory of Elijah Lovejoy, the first martyr to the cause of a free press, found itself on the losing side of the largest judgment for defamation in U.S. history as a result of a story that was never published in the paper—a case of immaculate defamation. Because it could not afford to post an appeal bond of that magnitude, one of the oldest family-owned newspapers in the country was forced to file for bankruptcy to protect its viability as a going concern.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.
