This Observatory was built about 1854 through the efforts of Presi- dent Tappan, money for the purpose being raised in Detroit. Mr. Henry N. Walker of Detroit was especially interested in the project and gave funds for the purchase of a meridian circle. The Observatory building is of the usual old-fashioned type, a cen- tral part on the top of which is the dome for the equatorial, and eaBt and west wings, the meridian circle being in the east wing and the library in the west. All the walls are of heavy masonry. About 1853 Dr. Tappan visited Europe and consulted Encke, direc- tor of the Berlin Observatory and Professor of Astronomy in the Uni- versity of Berlin, with regard to the Ann Arbor Observatory. By his advice a meridian circle was ordered of Pistor and Martins and a clock of Tiede. At this time Francis Brunnow was first assistant in the Berlin Obser- vatory. Probably it was through Encke that Brunnow came, in 1854, to- the University of Michigan as the first Professor of Astronomy and.

It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one-third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775," and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776." This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Convention empowered the North Carolina members of the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colo- nies in declaring independence.

  • The Newark Public Library in World War I
    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2019 101 Propaganda, Censorship, and Book Drives: The Newark Public Library in World War I By George Robb DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v5i1.150 This article examines the activities of the Newark Public Library during World War I as a means of highlighting the significant role American libraries played in promoting the nation’s war effort. During the war public libraries were usually the most important information centers in their communities. They distributed books, pamphlets, and posters in support of a wide range of government initiatives, they organized war-related exhibits and classes, and they collected vast amounts of reading material for libraries at military camps. Newark’s chief librarians, John Cotton Dana and Beatrice Winser, oversaw many such patriotic initiatives, but they also became involved in more controversial campaigns to employ women librarians at military camps and to resist wartime calls for censorship of unpatriotic literature. In reviewing the activities of the Newark Public Library during World War I, this article highlights the important, but largely forgotten, role American libraries played in sustaining the nation’s war effort. As the first “total war” of the twentieth century, World War I recruited civilians on the home front as actively as it recruited soldiers to fight overseas.1 While historians have written much about civilian initiatives involving women war workers, the Red Cross, victory gardens, and liberty loan drives, libraries’ significant contributions to the war have received little scholarly attention.2 This is surprising, since an important aspect of total war was the control and 1 For studies of the American homefront during World War I, see Christopher Capozzola, Uncle Sam Wants You: World War I and the Making of the Modern Citizen (New York: Oxford University Press, 2008); Celia Malone Kingsbury, For Home and Country: World War I Propaganda on the Homefront (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2010); and David M.

  • Fallen Women and Female Felons by Susan Nenadic
    OCTOBER 2011 NEWSLETTER WASHTENAW COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Fallen Women and Female Felons By Susan Nenadic Mr. Priestly, the first person accused of a crime in Washtenaw County, was indicted for selling liquor to the natives.Impressions He was tried in his own cabin and, despite the testimony against him, was acquitted. Since that trial, the vast majority of accused and convicted persons have been men. That was especially true of violent crimes. It was far more likely that a woman would be the victim not the perpetrator. Such was the case of Mrs. Lucy Washburn of Ypsilanti who sued for divorce in 1860. Her estranged husband retaliated by murdering her. In Ann Arbor, eleven years later, a similar case was that of Henrietta Wagner whose husband, either out of jealousy or greed, bludgeoned her to death with an ax. He also killed her son, Oscar, age three.
