  • Second Battery Armory and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 2, 1992; Designation List 245 LP-1794 SECOND BATIERY ARMORY, 1122 Franklin Avenue, Borough of The Bronx. Built 1908-11; Charles C. Haight, architect; addition, built c. 1928, Benjamin W. Levitan, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of The Bronx Tax Map Block 2613, Lot 1. [See fig. A]. On July 10, 1990, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Second Battery Armory and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. One speaker testified in favor of designation. The representative of the owner, Richard M. Litman, Deputy Administrator for Land Use Review, N.Y.C. Human Resources Administration, took no position on the proposed designation at the public hearing, although at the time of designation he said that the agency welcomed the designation and looked forward to working with the Commission. In addition, the Commission received three letters in support of designation, including one from Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer.1 Summary The Second Battery Armory, the first permanent armory located in The Bronx, was built in 1908-11 to the design of Charles C. Haight, a former member of the New York State militia and a prominent architect known for his institutional buildings. Prominently situated on a sloping site, the armory is notable for its bold massing, expressive brick forms, picturesque asymmetry, and restrained Gothic vocabulary; the design of the structure retains references to the tradition of medieval imagery in earlier New York armory buildings, but bears a marked relationship to Collegiate Gothic institutions.

  • Hard War and Riot Response on the Union Home Front
    “BULLETS AND CANISTER FIRST, BLANK CARTRIDGES AFTERWARDS:” HARD WAR AND RIOT RESPONSE ON THE UNION HOME FRONT Joseph Lueck A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2016 Committee: Benjamin Greene, Advisor A. Dwayne Beggs © 2016 Joseph Lueck All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Benjamin Greene, Advisor Following the passage of the Enrollment Act of 1863, violence erupted in cities across the Union. The Enrollment Act, in tandem with January’s implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, led many Northerners to violently resist the draft in wartime “draft riots.” Poor men who could not afford the commutation fee argued that the draft targeted them and forced them to fight a war for the rights and freedom of blacks, a cause many of them cared nothing about. This thesis examines the governmental responses to three of these riots. In Detroit, on March 6th, responding troops utilized containment tactics, defending Detroit’s richer neighborhoods and waiting the riot to subside. By July, however, responders utilized much harsher tactics. In New York City, from July 13th to July 16th, responders employed increasingly militaristic tactics to scatter mobs and restore order in the city. In Boston, on July 14th, responding troops fired a cannon into a mob of men, women, and children, killing many civilians but effectively quashing the riot. This thesis analyzes this shift in response tactics. Through examination of local, state, and federal responses to the home front riots of 1863, Lueck argues that aspects of the Union’s “Hard War” policies developed in the North as well as the South.

  • Irish Nationalist Performance and the Orange Riots of 1871
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 4, No. 1, March 2008 “Full of Proud Memories of the Past, on which Irishmen Love to Dwell”: Irish Nationalist Performance and the Orange Riots of 1871 Stephen Rohs As a mode of communication, performance has often been thought of as embodied messages whose meanings are negotiated between performers and audiences. Richard Bauman argued in 1975 that analysis of the unique qualities of “performance situations” can better capture what is communicated between parties in a given setting than mere textual analysis of the message. Bauman attempted to get at the nature of performance by paying attention to the way verbal messages were formulated and received. This approach to performance analysis highlights “keys” or “frames” that indicate how a performance should be interpreted in “some special sense,” providing contextual meanings easily overlooked outside of the specific moment of articulation.1 Bauman argued that a kind of social compact is implicit in interactions between a performer and an audience. The performer has the responsibility to display a kind of “communicative competence” to this audience by using such keys or frames – codes, patterns of articulation, appeals to tradition – to highlight his or her ability to “speak in socially appropriate ways.” This imperative makes the performer accountable to the audience, which evaluates the competence of the activity. The act of expression elicits a heightened awareness, giving “license to the audience to regard the act of 1 Richard Bauman,

  • Rural Agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a Bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Bibliography Volume 10 (1-2): 215 - 278 (2018) MacSheoin, Rural agitation in Ireland Rural agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin Abstract This bibliography brings together recent secondary literature on agitation in rural Ireland over a period of three centuries. Keywords: Ireland, rural agitation, land war, peasant resistance, Whiteboys, rural protest, tithe war, Ribbonism Introduction Studies of various aspects of rural agitation in Ireland have flourished over the last four decades. Prior to the publication of T Desmond Williams’ edited collection on secret societies in 1973 –generally seen as the beginning of this flourishing- rural unrest had not been a major subject of unrest: aside from O’Donoghue’s work on tithes and a variety of work published in local archaeological and historical journals, the land war had been almost the sole such subject of interest to mainstream Irish historiography. This changed with the arrival of social history and ‘history from below’ under the influence of English historians such as E.P. Thompson. As Fitzpatrick noted in a 1985 review essay ‘In addition to the three volumes under review, at least twenty-two major studies of various aspects of rural unrest have been published since 1978’ (Fitzpatrick 1985: 98). By the time Cronin published her review in 2012 her bibliography had swelled to twelve pages, though some of the listed works were contextual rather than focused on specific cases of agitation. My recent review in Interface featured a bibliography of eighteen pages, though again a fair number of the listed works were contextual.

To the Governor: Sm.-":'The following report is submitted in compliance with Section 17 of the Mtilitary Law. GENERAL REMARKS Much has been accomplished this year in the way of reorganizing the Military Forces of the State to conform to Federal require- ments and in building up organizations to the strength prescribed by the War Department. The entire National Guard, with the exception of one troop of cavalry, one infantry brigade headquar- ters, one regiment of infantry and parts of three other regiments of infantry, has been granted Federal recognition. Federal recog- nition was granted to units of the. three regiments of infantry which have been partially federalized with the understanding that they would later be converted so as to fit into the allotment of troops to the State by the War Department. A year ago the strength of the Military Forces of the State was 17,670 officers and men of which 10,474 had received Federal recognition as National Guard. At the present time the strength is 22,089 officers and men of which 21,117 have received Federal recognition as National Guard - an increase in strength of 4,419 and an increase in the number recognized of 10,643.

  • “Tie the Flags Together”: Migration, Nativism, and the Orange Order in the United States, 1840-1930 Cory Wells
    “Tie the Flags Together”: Migration, Nativism, and the Orange Order in the United States, 1840-1930. by Cory Wells Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2018 “Tie the Flags Together”: Migration, Nativism, and the Orange Order in the United States, 1840-1930 Cory Wells Throughout the nineteenth century, tens of thousands of Irish Protestants who migrated to the United States joined the Orange Order in their newly adopted country. Formed in Ulster in the 1790s, the Loyal Orange Institution existed to maintain Protestant hegemony in Ireland. It quickly spread throughout the anglophone Atlantic, especially to Britain and Canada. As the number of Irish Catholics immigrating to America steadily rose, reaching new heights during the Famine, so did the anti-immigrant rhetoric that culminated in the American nativist movement. While the history of the Orange Order has been given transnational treatment, to some extent, within the British Empire, its role in the United States is understudied. Why did Irish Protestants in the United States find maintaining their ties with anti-Catholic organizations, such as the Orange Order, and joining new ones, such as the America Protective Association, useful? Using a large collection of documents created by American Orangemen and -women, this study examines the ways in which Irish Protestants in the United States, through the Loyal Orange Institution, navigated the American political landscape while attempting to maintain their Irish Protestant identity. Its primary argument is that through the Orange Order, Irish Protestants were able to connect with American nativist organizations to assert themselves as patriotic, white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants, different from the growing waves of Irish Catholics coming to America’s shores after the mid-nineteenth century.
