New Jersey in Focus: the World War I Era 1910-1920
New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era 1910-1920 Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, New Jersey October 2015 Organized by The Monmouth County Archives Division of the Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon Gary D. Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era, 1910-1920 About one hundred years ago, during the 1910-1920 decade in America, the economy boomed and the Gross National Product more than doubled. Ten million Americans bought automobiles, most for the first time. Ford’s Model T, produced with then revolutionary assembly line methods, transformed family life for owners. Such personal “machines” led to paved roads and the first traffic light, reduced the need for blacksmiths and horses, increased the demand for auto mechanics and gas stations, and, when not caught up in traffic jams, sped up daily life. Some owners braved dirt roads to drive to the Jersey Shore, where thousands thronged to see the annual Baby Parade in Asbury Park. While roads at the start of the decade were barely adequate for travel in the emerging auto boom, New Jersey became a leader in the advocacy and construction of improved thoroughfares. Better road and rail transportation facilitated both industrial and agricultural production, bringing such new products as commercially grown blueberries from Whitesbog, New Jersey, to urban dwellers. In the air, history was made in 1912, when the first flight to deliver mail between two government post offices landed in South Amboy. -
Transcripts of Letters in Maine Voices from the Civil War
Transcripts of letters in Maine Voices from the Civil War The following documents have been transcribed as closely as possible to the way that they were written. Misspelled words, length of line, creative use of grammar follow the usage in the documents. Text in [brackets] are inserted or inferred by the transcriber. If they are accompanied by a question mark, it represents the transcribers best guess at the text. Most of the documents are from Maine State Museum (MSM) collections. The MSM number is our accession number. Items from other institutions are located at the end of the document. Those institutions include the Maine State Archives and the National Archives. More information about Maine State Archives documents can be found by searching their website using the writer’s name: http://www.maine.gov/sos/arc/sesquicent/civilwarwk.shtml Samuel Cony to Mrs. Elizabeth B. Leppien MSM 00.38.3 STATE OF MAINE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Augusta, December 12, 1865. MRS. ELIZABETH B. LEPPIEN: Madam,—Your note of the 9th instant, announcing your pur- pose to present to the State of Maine the sword of your son, Lieut. Col. George F. Leppien, of the 1st Maine Light Artillery, is received. Be pleased to acdept my thanks in behalf of the Stte therefor. This sword, when received, shall be placed in the archives of the State, and preserved as a memento of that gallant young man who sacrificed his life upon the alter of his country. Col. Leppien, was neither a son or citizen of the State, except by adoption, but we nevertheless feel that he belongs to Maine, whose commission he bore with high honor to himself and to her. -

Source Labels - Slavery and Maine- Source 1- Document Runaway Advertisements Boston News-Letter, December 10, 1705. P.4 Boston News-Letter, April 22, 1706. P.4 Images from: https://stirlingcentrescottishstudies.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/john-campbell-and-the- runaway-slave-advertisement These two newspaper clippings are from the advertisement section in a 1705 edition of the Boston News-Letter. The first tells the public to be on the lookout for two missing people who were traveling together. Peter was an enslaved black man whose master was “William Pepperil” (his name seems to be misspelled) and Issaac Pummatick was a Native American who was in the British military or navy. They somehow came together and escaped in 1705. Another newspaper clipping over a year a later says that both men were caught and returned to their “owner.” They made it all the way from Kittery in the Province of Maine to South Carolina before they were caught. Isaac Pummatick may have been Wabanaki, though the clipping doesn’t provide his tribal identity. It may seem strange that he was running away, since he was not enslaved. It seems like he ran away from either the British navy or military (“Her Majesties Service”). In 1705, “Her Majesty” was England’s Queen Anne. Men were sometimes conscripted, meaning they were forced to fight for England whether they wanted to or not. It is interesting that the men ran south, instead of north, where later generations of enslaved people would seek freedom. Southern plantations and farms were especially known for their brutal treatment. -

We’ve seen wonderful examples of that over the past six months that suggest the kind of organization we strive to be. This summer we hosted the Magna Carta exhibition in the Library’s 2nd floor reading room. The exhibition provided an opportunity to reflect both on our founding principles, and the OFFICERS work that remains to be done to achieve them. As part of our initiative, Danielle Conway, Preston R. Miller, Chair the new dean of the University of Maine School of Law, gave a remarkable talk that placed Joseph E.
