Nine of these neighborhoods were surveyed in 1984, and one of these, Longview, was re-surveyed in 1998. Six neighborhoods were first surveyed in 1998. The 1998 survey work takes the historic residential survey program from the familiar ground of the Victorian-era high-style house into the less familiar 20th century suburban tract or small house. The neighborhoods which now are greater than 50 years of age (the accepted benchmark for eligibility for survey and study) are well within the oral history range of many living Americans. Consequently there is an excellent opportunity to connect history directly with living generations of Rock Island residents. These are the homes in which most of us spent and continue to spend our lives. The greater challenge always remains for the historic preservation movement to educate and guide the general public to help preserve and reuse our older properties and neighborhoods. These historic properties can and must perform the two-fold mission of connecting us with our living past while also continuing to fulfill

  • The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2020 Volume XI, Spring 2020 ISSN 2153-1714 ‘Rock Island Needs Machinists’: The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars By Jordan Monson Western Illinois University “Availability of workers… was vital to the successful operation of Rock Island Arsenal in the World War, just as it must be in any future military crisis in which the country may become involved.”1 Industries and businesses have a huge impact on the development of a community. No business can be successful without labor provided by communities, and communities rarely grow without the availability of jobs provided by businesses. In this same way, the Rock Island Arsenal has had a huge impact on the surrounding communities of Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf, collectively known as the Quad Cities. Indeed, in an article published in 2018, Aarik Woods points out that the Rock Island Arsenal is far and away the largest employer in the region, and the economic impact of the Arsenal on the Quad Cities was more than one billion dollars.2 With that large of an economic impact, it is safe to say that the success of the Arsenal and the success of the Quad Cities are tied at the hip. However, the Rock Island Arsenal often goes through extreme variation in production and employment numbers, with “The Arsenal’s employment and production traditionally being cyclical in nature… increasing during national emergencies and declining during peacetime.”3 These mobilization and demobilization patterns of the Arsenal were most pronounced during the period between the first and second world wars.

  • An Illustrated History of the Rock Island Arsenal and Arsenal Island
    An Illustrated History Of The Rock Island Arsenal And Arsenal Island Part Two National Historic Landmark 71 FOREWORD On 11 July 1989 the Rock Island Arsenal commemorated its designation as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior. This auspicious occasion came about due in large measure to the efforts of the AMCCOM Historical Office, particularly Mr. Thomas J. Slattery, who spent many hours coordinating the efforts and actions necessary to bring the landmark status into fruition. Rock Island Arsenal Commander, Colonel David T. Morgan, Jr., was also instrumental in the implementation of the above ceremony by his interest, guidance, and support of Rock Island Arsenal’s National Historic Landmark, status. Incidental to the National Historic Landmark commemoration, the AMCCOM Historical Office has published An Illustrated History of Rock Island Arsenal and Arsenal Island, Part Two. Mr. Thomas J. Slattery is the author of this history and has presented a very well-written and balanced study of the beginning of Rock Island Arsenal in 1862 through 1900, including the arsenal construction period, the arsenal’s role in providing ordnance stores to the west, and its contributions during the Spanish-American War. This information was gathered from a number of primary and secondary sources including the author’s own files, the AMCCOM Historical Office archives, and the Rock Island Arsenal Museum collection. Mr. Slattery would like to acknowledge the efforts of past and present historians who gathered and preserved historical sources maintained in the holdings of these two institutions. Mr. Slattery is especially appreciative of the contributions made in this area by his colleagues Mr.

  • War of 1812 by Beth Carvey the Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War the War of 1812 Was a Significant Event in S
    War of 1812 by Beth Carvey The Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War The War of 1812 was a significant event in Sauk and Meskwaki history and also for many other native nations who resided along and near the Mississippi River. The War of 1812 was actually two wars: an international war fought between the United States and Great Britain in the east and an Indian war fought in the west. This article is the first of a four-part series which will explore the War of 1812 in terms of native peoples’ points of view, the military actions that occurred in the western frontier theater, and the consequences for the Sauk and Meskwaki that resulted from the American victory. In 1812 the western frontier was comprised of the Mississippi, Illinois, and Missouri River regions, encompassing parts of present-day Wisconsin, Illinois, and northwest Missouri. More than ten different native nations, including the Sauk and Meskwaki, lived on these lands with an estimated population of 25,000 people. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 the native people of the region had been growing increasingly unhappy with the United States. Four main reasons were at the heart of this unhappiness: arrogance and ignorance on the part of many American officials; illegal white settlement on native lands; a number of treaties that dispossessed tribes of their lands; and economic matters, specifically the fur trade. The Sauk and Meskwaki had poor relations with the United States government since the signing of the fraudulent Treaty of 1804, whereby the two nations ceded over 50 million acres of land to the United States.
