While he did not reside in New Bern, he was known here primarily due to his purchase and reconstruction of the Simpson house at 226 East Front Street. Later known as the Simpson-Oaksmith-Patterson House, this unique house has been the focus of more stories and traditional history than any other structure in New Bern. Per the National Register of Historic Places, in 1810, Samuel Photo of Simpson-Oaksmith House taken by photographer William Simpson purchased the Garrison Reed shortly before renovations by Oaksmiths. (photo NBHS) original portion of the house which stood at the southeast corner of Pollock and East Front Streets. In 1843 a huge fire destroyed a good portion of the homes on Pollock Street and it appears that Simpson’s federal style brick house was rebuilt between 1843-1846. (Sandbeck, Peter, The Historic Architecture of New Bern and Craven County, NC Architecture pgs.108-109, Tryon Palace Commission 1988). The house remained in the Simpson family until 1860 when it changed hands. During the Civil War, the house served as a Provost Marshal’s office and jail. Appleton and Augusta Oaksmith purchased the home sometime in 1874 and after 1884 began operating the Vance Academy, a boarding and day school, in the house. Between 1884 and 1887, Appleton Oaksmith began remodeling this house in a perplexing – if not bizarre – style. In 1888 George Nowitzky visited New Bern and described the house in this manner: “The Greatest Architectural Curiosity in the South. It is formed by one of New Bern’s oldest brick buildings (one has done duty as a jail), transformed into such a remarkable combination and blending of dormers, balconies, pinnacles, fantastic-looking tower, railings, human, griffin and dog heads as to make it a veritable architectural puzzle. No one knows what it was intended for, and the owner, apparently believing it is nobody’s business, has failed to enlighten them.” (Green, John III, A New Bern Album, The Tryon Palace Commission, 1985 pg. 137) The house was referred to by many as “Blackbeard’s House” as there were rumors of a secret tunnel allowing the pirate to smuggle treasure. Blackbeard died long before the 10 NEW BERN MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2020 house was built, but the rumors persisted. Many speculated that Appleton Oaksmith used the secret tunnel for smuggling purposes. Some said that the house was fashioned after Morro Castle in Havana, but why, no one knew. The storied house reflected Oaksmith’s unconventional character. Appleton Oaksmith was an ambitious man, with vision, boldness and daring -- yet his ethics Simpson-Oaksmith House circa 1900 (Brenners Studio, New Bern, from Remember in New Bern When?) with inset of detail over doorway (New Bern Resort publication, on were questionable. file at New Bern Historical Society) He was a sea captain, writer, munitions supplier, soldier of fortune, slave trader, politician, blockade runner, entrepreneur, railroad speculator, and some said, a pirate. Oaksmith was born in Portland, Maine in 1827 to literary and accomplished parents. Armed with fluency in four languages and a passion for arts and science, at the age of 16 Oaksmith set sail for China. Over the next few years he ventured to South America, the Caribbean and Africa while trading goods. He heavily financed military expeditions in Cuba and Nicaragua from 1855-1856 and lost a great deal of money. He dabbled in the magazine business, railroad speculation, paper mill ownership, and even Tammany Hall politics. In 1861, Oaksmith was arrested, imprisoned, and convicted of slave trading. He was jailed in Boston but escaped from prison in 1862 with the help of friends who bribed the guards. He hid in his grandmother’s home in Maine for a year where he fell in love with his cousin, Augusta Mason. This was problematic as he was married since 1855 to Isotta Rebecchini, an Italian musician who bore him four children. Oaksmith sailed to England where he spent years in exile. Despite his fugitive status, he became a sea captain and blockade runner for the Confederacy, sailing from England to Texas. He was almost captured in 1864 when his ship was boarded by the Union Navy, but he managed to escape and return to England. Oaksmith’s personal life was as tumultuous as his checkered career. He filed for and obtained a divorce from his wife Isotta in 1866 without her knowledge. He then coerced her into giving up custody of their four children, vowing she would never see them again if she did not sign papers. Isotta reluctantly complied, but Appleton still allowed no contact with the children. He then married his cousin Augusta in Canada in 1867, with whom he had an additional eight children. On a trip back to the US, Oaksmith landed in Beaufort, NC to make repairs to his ship. 511 Broad St. • 252.638.8558 • newbernhistorical.org OCTOBER 2020 NEW BERN MAGAZINE 11 While there, he attended an auction and successfully bid $11.25 for property west of Morehead City, known as Becton Place. Oaksmith sailed back to England but finally in 1873 returned with his wife and children to make Carteret County their home. He hired locals to reconstruct a home from a building that had been a Union Army barracks. He purchased another 300 prime acres which includes nearly all of present-day Atlantic Beach and a portion of Pine Knoll Shores. He put all the property in the name of his wife and her sister, calling his vast estate Hollywood. With the stigma of the slave-trading affair hanging over him, Oaksmith resolved to clear his name. Using an alias, he met with President Ulysses Grant. Oral history has it that after a short meeting, Grant was swayed to sign the pardon. When the President asked why his visitor pleaded so earnestly for this man, the audacious Oaksmith smugly replied, “Because I am Appleton Oaksmith.” In 1874 Oaksmith ran for the state House of Representatives from Carteret County which he won, serving one term. While in office, the visionary Oaksmith hatched Ad advertising the Vance Academy in the Simpson- many development plans for the county. He Oaksmith House after house was renovated recommended dredging Beaufort Harbor and the Neuse River.

    Reasons for the Criticism of the Alaska Purchase

    Where Practicality Meets Idealism: Reasons for the Criticism of the Alaska Purchase Joseph Klein On March 30th, 1867, Secretary of State William Seward and Russian foreign minister Eduoard de Stoeckl agreed to a treaty that ceded the Russian America territory to the US in exchange for $7.2 million. After months of bickering over the initial terms of the treaty in both the Senate and the House, Alaska, as it was called, was formally transferred to the United States in December of 1867. Russia had previously approached the United States about selling the territory in 1859, but the Civil War delayed the negotiations between the two nations. When the treaty was inked in March of 1867, very few members of the American public had any idea that the United States was attempting to acquire Alaska, which implies that very little factual information regarding the territory was available, especially to newspapers located on the East Coast. The acquisition of the largely unknown piece of land left the American public scrambling for facts and opinions because the purchase had come about so suddenly. The debating and bickering continued into the summer of 1868, when negations in the House of Representatives regarding the appropriation to Russia for Alaska were finished and the deal was finalized. A change of this kind can often lead to backlash, whether or not the challengers of the new policy or program are in the majority. In the case of the Alaska purchase, the majority of American newspapers were in favor because of the assertions of its economic potential as, well as its strategic location for military operations and possible Pacific dominance.

    Recent Scholarship in Quaker History Compiled in December 2016 Alevizatos Kirtley, Alexandra. "Superfluity & Excess." Magazine Antiques 183, no. 2 (March 2016): 88-97. The article focuses on history of Quakers of Europe and Great Britain from Eighteenth century. Topics discussed include embracement of European and Asian style furnitures by Quakers, marriage of architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe with Mary Elizabeth Hazlehurst which resulted in his establishment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; commissioning of Latrobe for house designs, his preference to American design of houses, and selection of furnitures by house owners William and Mary Waln. Alston, Charlotte. “’A Great Host of Sympathisers’: The Doukhobor Emigration and its International Supporters, 1895-1905." Journal of Modern European History 12, no. 2 (May 2014): 200-215. Between September 1898 and July 1899, 7500 members of the non-resistant Doukhobor sect emigrated from Russia to Canada. This article investigates the networks of moral, logistical and financial support that made this emigration possible. Members of the Society of Friends in England and America, Tolstoyan Christian anarchists and opponents of the Tsarist regime worked, through their own networks and together, to raise funds and raise the Doukhobors' profile. Their relationships with each other, with the Doukhobors and with external audiences were complicated by their own very different investments in the cause. This article explores the aims, activities and impact of this campaign, along with its value for the campaigners. It offers a case study of the complex relationships in such a campaign between humanitarianism, solidarity and self-interest. Ambler, Rex. The Light Within: Then and Now. Pendle Hill pamphlet 425.
