  • The Cleveland Foundation and Its Evolving Urban Strategy
    Rebuilding Cleveland is a critical study of the role that The Cleveland Foundation, the country's oldest community trust, has played in shaping public affairs in Cleveland, Ohio, over the past quarter-century. Drawing on an examination of the Foun­ dation's private papers and more than a hun­ dred interviews with Foundation personnel and grantees, Diana Tittle demonstrates that The Cleveland Foundation, with assets of more than $600 million, has provided con­ tinuing, catalytic leadership in its attempts to solve a wide range of Cleveland's urban problems. The Foundation's influence is more than a matter of money, Tittle shows. The combined efforts of professional philanthro­ pists and a board of trustees traditionally dominated by Cleveland's business elite, but also including members appointed by var­ ious elected officials, have produced innova­ tive civic leadership that neither group was able to achieve on its own. Through an examination of the Founda­ tion's ongoing and sometimes painful orga­ nizational development, Tittle explains how the Foundation came to be an important ca­ talyst for progressive change in Cleveland. Rebuilding Cleveland takes the reader back to 1914, when Cleveland banker Frederick C. Goff invented the concept of a community foundation and pioneered a national move­ ment of social scientists, business leaders, and government officials that made philan­ thropy a more effective force for private in­ volvement in public affairs. Tittle follows the Foundation through the 1960s, when it be­ gan a major new initiative to establish itself REBUILDING CLEVELAND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SERIES Manse/ G.

ANGLE ,mnrvminrrnr*>mrnnnr>r,vm*mrKrmntoiiM No. 206 IVERMMW5 MlEAMSf § This new selection, edited with an Introduction by Paul M. Angle, Direc- tor of Publications at the Chicago Historical Society, ranges over the whole of Lincoln's public career, beginning with an electioneering address in the local politics of Springfield, Illinois, to the last speech the great President made, less than a week before his assassination. * Lincoln,' said the historian, Lord Bryce, 'is always clear. Simplicity, directness, and breadth are the notes of his thought. Aptness, clearness, and again simplicity, are the notes of his diction. The American speakers of his generation, like most of those of the preceding generation, but unlike those of that earlier generation to which Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Marshall, and Madison belonged, were generally infected by a floridity which made them a byword in Europe. Even men of brilliant talent, such as Edward Everett, were by no means free from this straining after effect by highly coloured phrases and theatrical effects. In the forties and fifties florid rhetoric was rampant, especially in the west and south, where taste was less polished than in the older States. That Lincoln escaped it is a striking mark of his independence as well as of his greatness.

    ADVENTURE TALES OF AMERICA An Illustrated History of the United States Volume 1, 1492-1877 Teacher’s Guide Revised Edition By Jody Potts, Ph.D. ILLUSTRATORS Foy Lisenby, Ph.D. Jerry D. Poole, Ph.D. Signal Media Publishers Dallas, Texas www.adventuretales.com AUTHOR Jody Potts, a native Texan, holds a B.S. degree in education from Baylor University, an M.A. degree in history from Southern Methodist University, and a Ph.D. degree in history from the University of North Texas. She has taught graduate courses in United States history in Southern Methodist University’s Master of Liberal Arts Program for two decades and served as visiting professor at Alaska Pacific University for three summers. A specialist in left and right brain learning techniques, Dr. Potts pioneered the integration of these techniques with the teaching and writing of history. Her graduate courses, History of American Ideas and The Lively Mind: Creative and Critical Thinking Techniques Using Both Sides of the Brain, have provided an interactive setting for applying and testing the left and right brain learning techniques she used in Adventure Tales of America and its predecessor Adventure Tales of Arkansas. In 1993 Dr. Potts wrote Adventure Tales of America: An Illustrated History of the United States, 1492-1877, an innovative book that accelerates learning by simultaneously giving information to the left brain through words, analysis, and structure and to the right brain through pictures, humor, and drama. Now a multimedia program, it has raised state social studies scores throughout the country—as much as 18 percent for grade-level students and 115 percent for at-risk students.

  • Abraham Lincoln's Books
    on october 1 and 2, 2009, the Law School, together with the marquette University Department of history, sponsored a conference entitled “Legacies of Lincoln.” the conference marked both the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and the sesquicentennial of his visit to milwaukee to speak at the Wisconsin state fair. the following is an abridged version of a paper prepared for that conference by mark e. Steiner, professor of law at South texas College of Law, and drawing on Steiner’s well-received book, An Honest Calling: The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln, published in 2006. Professor Steiner relates that “while the good parts of this article are entirely new, other portions appeared in one form or another in my book and are reprinted by permission of northern Illinois University Press, which also wanted me to mention that the book is now available in paperback.” the unabridged article, including footnotes and together with other conference proceedings, will appear in the summer 2010 issue of the Marquette Law Review. linColn’s law Books by Mark e. steiner linColn in MeMoRy We associate Abraham Lincoln with books more than any other president except, perhaps, Thomas Jefferson.

  • Frontier Legislator (1834-1837)
    Chapter Four “A Napoleon of Astuteness and Political Finesse”: Frontier Legislator (1834-1837) After leaving his paternal home, Lincoln discovered in New Salem a surrogate father, a rotund, humorous “reading man” from North Carolina named Bowling Green, twenty-two years his senior. Green served at various times as justice of the peace, canal commissioner, doorkeeper of the Illinois House of Representatives, judge of elections, county commissioner, sheriff, and candidate for the state senate.i He was known as a gifted spinner of yarns and “a whole-souled, jovial sort of fellow” who “took the world easy and cared little as to what transpired” so long as “a side of bacon hung in the smokehouse, and the meal barrel was full.” During Lincoln’s early days in New Salem, he boarded at Green’s house, which “was ever full of visitors,” for Green “would never allow a caller to leave until he had crossed his feet under the table.”ii i James Short to Herndon, Petersburg, Illinois, 7 July 1865, Douglas L.
