[Alaska]: Dobbs, Beverly B.: [ALASKA PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM, FEATURING IMAGES OF THE INUIT PEOPLE AND THE GOLD RUSH]. [Nome, Ak. ca. 1900]. 117 mounted silver gelatin prints (two handcolored, three cyanotypes), mostly 8 x 10 inches, with some smaller and some panoramic views. Oblong folio. Eastman Kodak photograph album in original pebbled cloth. Minor edge wear and rubbing. Paper provenance description affixed to each pastedown. A handful of photographs with taped or bent corners. The last photograph, a large panoramic view of Little Creek, with three vertical folds. Very good. A wonderful collection of Gold Rush-era Alaskan photography. Many of the images are signed and titled in the negative by Bev- erly Dobbs. Images by Frank H. Nowell and George Cantwell are also included towards the back of the album. Highlights include elegant portraits of the Inuit, their dwellings, numerous images of the gold rush town of Nome, walrus hunting, gold mining claims and the assay process, and images of the vast Alaskan landscape. According to the paper label affixed to the pastedowns, the album was assembled around 1900 by Arthur Kah of Sidney, Ohio. Kah moved to Alaska to operate the Gold Assay Headquarters, a company that worked in Nome to determine the weight of gold dust and nuggets brought in by gold miners for evaluation. An exceptional album illustrating the rough-hewn nature of Nome and its sur- roundings at a pivotal time in Alaska’s development and history. $9000. 3. [Alaska]: [EARLY ALASKA AND YUKON TERRITORY PHO- TOGRAPH ALBUM]. [N.p. ca. 1910]. Sixteen gelatin prints, each ap- proximately 3¼ x 5¼ inches. Gray paper-covered boards, string-bound, gilt on front cover. Light surface wear to the photos, creasing to some corners, else in excellent condition. A lovely collection of vernacular photography from a highly interesting period of Alaskan history, chronicling the territory in the years just after the Klondike Gold Rush. Subjects of the individual photographs include sled dogs, a harbor scene, a great street scene on the occasion of a patriotic parade, miners at work on a large sluice, fishermen and their boat, a couple of shots featuring the Yukon steamboat Selkirk, an early automobile, campers, Native Americans, a log house, a street scene showing log buildings, and more. From the types of vehicles shown, the images date from the early 20th century, no earlier than 1905, since the Arcade Cafe fea- tured in one of the photos opened then; and no later than 1920, since the Selkirk steamboat sank in that year. $1000. 4. [Alaska]: [EARLY ALASKA AND YUKON TERRITORY PHOTO- GRAPH ALBUM]. [N.p. ca. 1910]. Twenty-six small silver gelatin prints, each approximately 2¼ x 3 inches to 4¼ x 3¼ inches.

Well-composed photos, obviously by a photographer with an artist’s eye, including rare views of native totems. $1250. 5. [Alaska]: [SMALL ARCHIVE OF PHOTOGRAPHS, MAPS, BUSI- NESS AGREEMENTS, AND A LETTER, RELATING TO THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CHICKALOON COAL MINING COM- PANY OF ALASKA]. [Various places in Alaska & California. 1917-1920]. Includes one large colored folding map, 20 x 40 inches; three folding blueprint maps (two of them 13½ x 21½ inches, the third 9¼ x 13 inches); a folding cross-section; four photographs (three of them 3¼ x 5 inches, mounted to card – one a cyanotype); three folding printed legal documents; a [2]pp. typed letter, signed, to the manager of the company; and a pamphlet on coal mining (see below). Large map with stains in margins, small areas of separation at cross-folds. Other items with light wear. Overall, very good. An interesting archive relating to the early operations of the Chickaloon Coal Com- pany of Chickaloon, Alaska. Chickaloon, located some seventy-five miles up the Matanuska River from Anchorage, remains an area of interest to those who would mine coal there. The company was founded in 1917 by a Californian who leased the land for his mines from the federal government. The collection documents the formation of the company and its capitalization, and includes maps of the area. The largest of the maps is a USGS “Topographical Map of Lower Matanuska Valley Alaska,” dated 1918 and based on surveys done in 1909 and 1913. The location of the “Anthracite Ridge” is printed on the maps, and lots 10, 11, and 12 of the Chickaloon Coal Company are highlighted in red ink, as are a couple other areas of concern to the company. The two larger blueprint maps show the progress of prospecting in Leasing Unit No. 11, one of them corrected to April 7, 1918, the other to June 1, 1918, with shading showing the work done in various months. The smaller blueprint map, dated June 13, 1918, shows the proposed wagon road from Chickaloon to King River. The cross-section shows the “folding of measures” in the Chickaloon area. The three printed legal documents were all executed in California. The ear- liest is dated 1917 and early 1918, being an indenture describing the actions of Lars Netland of Oakland and his wife, in leasing coal land in Alaska from the U.S. government. The second document, dated Feb. 15, 1918, records the loan of $4000 by M.J. Fontana to the Chickaloon Coal Company in return for stock in the company.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

HIS BOOKLET is not an apology for murder. It is an honest effort to unravel the tangled mesh of circumstances that led up to the Armistice Day tragedy in Centralia, Washington. The writer is one of those who believe that the tak- ing of human life is justifiable .only in self-defense. Even then the act is a horrible reversion to the brute-to the low plane of savagery. Civilization, to be worthy of the name, must afford other methods of settling human differences than those of blood letting. The nation was shocked on November 11, 1919, to read of the killing of four American Legion men by members of the In- dustrial Workers of the World in Centralia. The capitalist news- papers announced to the world that these unoffending paraders were killed in cold blood-that they were murdered from ambush without’provocation of any kind. If the author were convinced that there was even a slight possibility of this being true, he would not raise ‘his voice to defend the perpetrators of such a coward1 y crime.

  • Flaccid Anti-Americanism: Argentine Relations with the United
    Flaccid Anti-Americanism: Argentine Relations with the United States at the Turn of the Century David Sheinin Trent University Prepared for Delivery at the 1997 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Continental Plaza Hotel, Guadalajara, Mexico, April 17-19, 1997 Please do not cite without permission of the author. In 1888, the United States began preparations for the First Pan American Conference. This was the starting point of the modern Pan American movement; it set several key precedents for future inter-American meetings. Most significant, the US government shepherded conference delegates and piloted proceedings in an effort to advance international agreements that would foster stable conditions for inter-American trade and finance -- conditions meant to advance US business. Delegates passed motions favoring the adoption of the metric system, the creation of an inter-American bank, and the establishment of an international monetary fund. They agreed to work for the implementation of international regulations for patents, port dues, and sanitation. But when the US tried to win support for its most ambitious conference project, a customs union for the Americas, Argentine delegates balked. Influenced in part by much-publicized anti-American criticisms by the Cuban writer José Martí, the diplomat and future Argentine president Roque Saenz Peña rebuked the US for trying to isolate Latin America from traditional European trading partners. After considerable debate, the customs union proposal was dropped.1 1. "Instrucciones

  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.
