Additionally, I would like to thank the rest of my committee, professors Robert Rydell, Sara J ayne Steen, and Jan Zauha , for their encouragement, insightful comments, and constructive questions. I would also like to thank my sister, Katie Biehl, for helping with requesting, organizing, and transcribing many letters, as well as her extensive geneal ogy work. The staff at Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College, the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware, the Butte - Silver B ow Public Archives, and the Montana Historical Society were immensely helpful. My personal thanks go to them as well as to the Orr Family, particularly Carol Orr, for sharing remembrances and photographs. I thank Charlotte Crowder, who loaned me her bound copy of The Six Little Meigs Girls (that belonged to her father) , and Libby Green, who shared some sketches that her grandmother, Louisa Meigs Green, had written when compiling that extensive genealogy. To the Interweave Press, I am grateful they ga v e my f amily the original autobiographical sketches written by Mary Meigs Atwater and the numerous Atwater letters they had been storing, on the promise that I donate them to an archive where they can be preserved. These rich primary sources have added so much to my project. Last, but not least, I extend m uch gratitude to my family for their support and patience as I spent a decade taking classes, researching, and writing this dissertation; their selfless ness in caring for my daughter – for many , many hours – so I could complete my doctorate is especially appreciated. iv TABL E OF CONTENTS 1.

Meigs, 20 June 1894 ........................ 3 20 vi ABSTRAC T This dissertation explores the various parts of one woman’s life, chronologically but also thematically. Mary Meigs Atwater, known among a group of artisans as the Dean of American Hand - Weaving, was a New Woman, born in 1878 in a time when Victorian Americ an ideals of the Cult of Domesticity dominated society’s conscripted gender roles. However, throughout her life, she proved herself to be a pioneer in many fields, regardless of societal norms. Through study and utilization of primary documents – letters a nd memoirs serving as the dominant sources – I have divided this dissertation, and her life, into six chapters : “The Six Little Meigs Girls (1878 - 1893) , ” “ The Fin de Siècle Artist (1894 - 1902) , ” “The Mining Engineer’s Wife (1903 - 1916) , ” “The Weaver Emerges (1916 - 1922) , ” “The Pioneering Businesswoman (1923 - 1947) , ” and “The Dean of American Hand - Weaving (1947 - 1956) . ” Throughout the dissertation are the stories of Mary’s five sisters, who also led extraordinary lives. The three takeaways from this dissertation are: 1) Mary Meigs Atwater was more than just a weaving pioneer – she was a pioneer in every occupation and task she pursued; 2) the symmetries between events of the past and present are incredibly evident through analysis; and 3) just as Mary Meigs Atwate r resurrected weaving during a time of machine - made textiles, humans of the 21 st century must continue to create beauty with their hands as technology advances and the Artificial Intelligence automation of professions threatens to make the Humanities obsol ete. 1 INTRODUCTION American Studies Reflexive

  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

RICHARDSON THELAST DECADE OF THE nineteenth century and the first decade of this century witnessed some activity in the collecting of historical children’s books, but that flurry did not extend much beyond New England generally, and the Connecticut Historical Society and the American Antiquarian Society specifica1ly.l A resurgence of interest in collecting occurred in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1938 six articles appeared in Library Journal under the title “Collections of Rare Children’s Books: A Symposium.” The series had been prepared under the auspices of the Publicity Committee of the American Library Association (ALA) Section for Library Work with Children.

  • Public Danger
    DAWSON.36.6.4 (Do Not Delete) 8/19/2015 9:43 AM PUBLIC DANGER James Dawson† This Article provides the first account of the term “public danger,” which appears in the Grand Jury Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Drawing on historical records from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Article argues that the proper reading of “public danger” is a broad one. On this theory, “public danger” includes not just impending enemy invasions, but also a host of less serious threats (such as plagues, financial panics, jailbreaks, and natural disasters). This broad reading is supported by constitutional history. In 1789, the first Congress rejected a proposal that would have replaced the phrase “public danger” in the proposed text of the Fifth Amendment with the narrower term “foreign invasion.” The logical inference is that Congress preferred a broad exception to the Fifth Amendment that would subject militiamen to military jurisdiction when they were called out to perform nonmilitary tasks such as quelling riots or restoring order in the wake of a natural disaster—both of which were “public dangers” commonly handled by the militia in the early days of the Republic. Several other tools of interpretation—such as an intratextual analysis of the Constitution and an appeal to uses of the “public danger” concept outside the Fifth Amendment—also counsel in favor of an expansive understanding of “public danger.” The Article then unpacks the practical implications of this reading. First, the fact that the Constitution expressly contemplates “public danger” as a gray area between war and peace is itself an important and unexplored insight.

Then the essay proceeds with an investigation on the start of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and some of the conditions surrounding industry and industrialization in the West of the United States that contributed to the company’s start. The investigation continues with descriptions on the specific paternalism workers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company faced, how it affected them, and some of the initial reactions to this treatment. Following this, the essay details the grander reactions to the treatment of workers that resulted in the Colorado Labor Wars and various protests and how it links in to the greater progressive movement fighting for improved working conditions in the industry. This essay concludes that the paternalism at the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in the region had an extremely impactful effect on the lives of workers and industry in the West.

The New History Comes to Town ELIZABETH JAMESON An incongruous event at the 1990 annual conference of the Western History Association prefigured this special issue of the New Mexico Historical Review. The breakfast meeting of the Mining History Asso­ ciation was inadvertently scheduled in the same room with the American Society of Environmental History. Both groups tried to conduct their separate business amidst uneasy mutterings about "strange bedfellows." Nonetheless, forced to negotiate common terrain, the historians of an environmentally destructive industry broke bread, appropriately enough, with those who chronicle the devastation. The historical connections that were accidentally established in 1990 are consciously addressed by this issue's authors. Using the methods and conceptual frameworks of social and environmental histories, they connect the topics of mining technologies and economics, managerial organization; labor, environment and safety: and state policy. They leave behind the lone prospectors, the gold and silver, the bawdy boom towns of western lore, and take us instead to less romantic places that pro­ duced the copper, molybdenum, uranium, and coal required for twenti­ eth-century industries.
