  • Lincoln, Olmsted, and Yosemite: Time for a Closer Look
    Lincoln, Olmsted, and Yosemite: Time for a Closer Look This year is the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant and the act of Congress that set aside Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Big Tree Grove for “public use, resort, and rec- reation … inalienable for all time.” This “grant” of federal lands transferred Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove to the state of California, yet the 1864 Yosemite Act represents the first significant reservation of public land by the Congress of the United States—to be pre- served in perpetuity for the benefit of the entire nation. As Joseph Sax affirms, “The national parks were born at that moment.”1 In 1890, Congress incorporated Yosemite State Park into a much larger Yosemite National Park. The Yosemite Conservancy is marking the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant by releasing a new publication, Seed of the Future: Yosemite and the Evolution of the Nation­ al Park Idea, authored by the writer and filmmaker Dayton Duncan.2 The handsomely de- signed and generously illustrated book revisits the Yosemite Grant and the “evolution of the national park idea” and should attract a wide readership. This message is important, as the national significance of the Yosemite story has been obscured by time, incomplete documen- tation, and often-contradictory interpretations. A clearer understanding of the people and events surrounding the Yosemite Grant, in such a popular format, is particularly timely, not only for the celebration of Yosemite’s sesquicentennial, but also for the approaching 100th anniversary of the National Park Service (NPS) in 2016. It should be pointed out that Duncan is not the first recognize the significance of the Yosemite Grant.

Photo courtesy of Yosemite National Park Research Library On June 30, 1864, President Lincoln signed a bill granting Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias to the State of California. On September 28, California Governor Frederick Low accepted the Grant and appointed the first State Park Commission. These actions represent not only the birth of California State Parks, but also the birth of the national park ideal.

  • The Ephemera Journal
    The ephemera Journal Volume 16, Number 1 September 2013 “With the President’s Permission…” New York Acquires The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation By Paul Mercer The New York State Legislature purchased the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation from famed abolitionist Gerrit Smith in 1865, shortly after Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train passed through Albany. Smith had won the document in a lottery held at the Albany Relief Bazaar in the winter of 1864. How this priceless artifact came to Albany, and eventually to the New York State Library, is a tale of politics and patriotism, enlivened with ephemera. Sanitary Fairs and the Albany Relief Bazaar From the earliest days of the Civil War, northern civilians sought ways to contribute to the war effort. The United States Sanitary Commission (USSC)1, established in 1861, was ostensibly a philanthropic humanitarian organization with the goal of bringing modern medical relief to soldiers in the battlefield. Through an adjunct agency, the Women’s Central Relief Association, the commission established a national network to distribute the many products of soldiers’ aid societies—bandages, clothing, food, etc. A philanthropic purpose notwithstanding, the commission was led by men of strong political convictions who understood their work as a way to forge a sense of national patriotism and support for the war effort.

How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

Seward’s True Folly Seward’s True Folly: American Diplomacy and Strategy during “Our Little War With the Heathens,” Korea, 1871 Ian Murray From June 10 to June 12, 1871, American amphibious forces engaged in a forty-eight hour battle with the Chosŏn dynasty of Korea. Though trivialized in the New York Herald under the headline of “Our Little War With the Heathens,”1 the affair inflicted more casualties on Asian peoples than any other American military action until the Philippine uprising of 1899. A fleet boasting five Americans warships set sail for Korea on May 16th with eighty pieces of cannon and 1,230 men aboard, under the command of Rear Admiral John Rodgers. The expedition pursued a diplomatic mission—the opening of Korea to international commercial trade—entrusted to United States Minister to China Frederick Low. However, the expedition secured authorization from the State Department to impose their aims by force if necessary.
