  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Godly Government Puritans and the Founding of Newark Timothy J
    Godly Government Puritans and the Founding of Newark Timothy J. Crist President, Newark History Society November 9, 2009 Godly Government Puritans and the Founding of Newark This is the 30th program that the Newark History Society has sponsored. Most of our programs have covered 20th century topics, although a few have dipped into the 19th century, including our program on Thomas Edison, which took us back to the 1870s. But tonight I want to go back 350 years, to 1659, to a time when England was in crisis. The resolution of that crisis led directly to the founding of Newark by a group of Puritans from New Haven Colony. The crisis was caused by the power vacuum in england following oliver Cromwell’s death in 1658. Cromwell had been the lord Protector of england following the english civil war and the execution of King Charles I. His son, richard Cromwell, succeeded him but quickly proved incapable, and he resigned early in 1659. england was left without an effective government. Army generals and their troops, as well as a rump Parliament, moved into the power vacuum. eventually, General George monck marched with his troops to london and engineered the restoration of the monarchy. So, after eleven years in exile, Charles II returned to england in may 1660 and finally succeeded his father as King. The people of new Haven Colony closely followed the crisis in england. With their strong Puritan views, they recognized immediately that the restoration of Charles II would turn their world upside down. They had formed new Haven Colony in 1639 to demonstrate how Biblical rules should guide the organization of both church and state, and they had expected to be the proverbial “city on the hill” showing God’s Way to england.

  • Freedom and Unfreedom in the “Garden of America:”
    FREEDOM AND UNFREEDOM IN THE “GARDEN OF AMERICA:” SLAVERY AND ABOLITION IN NEW JERSEY, 1770-1857 by James J. Gigantino II (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines abolition in New Jersey between 1770 and 1857. It argues that the American Revolution did not lead white New Jerseyans to abolish slavery. Instead, the Revolutionary War and the years following it reinforced the institution of slavery in the Garden State. This dissertation first focuses on the factors that led New Jersey to pass the Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, specifically the rise of Jeffersonian Republicanism and the influence of Quaker abolition activists and then examines the elongated abolition period which followed the enactment of gradual abolition, beginning with the role of the children born under the law, those who I call slaves for a term. The role these children played in early national America challenges our understandings of slavery and freedom. Instead of a quick abolition process, slaves and slaves for a term in New Jersey continued to serve their masters in significant numbers until the 1840s and then in smaller proportions until the eve of the Civil War. The existence of slavery in a free state challenges our understanding of the rise of capitalism in the early republic as well as the role the North played in debates over nationwide slavery issues beginning in the 1820s. This long-standing relationship to slavery helped prevent the formation of a strong abolitionist base in the 1830s and influenced Northern images of African Americans until the Civil War. Abolition in the North became very much a process, one of fits and starts which stretched from the Revolution to the Civil War and defined how Americans, white and black, understood their place in the new republic.

  • Ancestors of Alice Irene Frazee
    Ancestors of Alice Irene Frazee by Carlyle E. Hystad Ancestors of Alice Irene Frazee by Carlyle E. Hystad First Edition March 2008 1 Ancestors of Alice Irene Frazee Introduction Deep Roots in America This document is my effort to describe the information I have collected over many years regarding the ancestor’s of my mother, Esther Frazee, and the same information applies to her sister, Alice Irene Frazee. I have collected an enormous amount of information, with thousands of names and dates and places, which can be rather boring and meaningless and confusing. So I have attempted to present the information in a way that will be meaningful and useful, and maybe even intriguing, enjoyable, and educational. Alice’s father was Morris Clifford Frazee, and I have traced some of his ancestors back to the Pilgrims’ Plymouth Colony. And an ancestor was one of the first settlers of Staten Island in what was then New Netherland. Alice’s mother was Pearl May Finley, and I have traced several of her ancestors back to the Pilgrims’ Plymouth Colony, and at least four of her ancestors came over on the Mayflower. And one ancestor is likely the only person to have lived in the Jamestown settlement in Virginia and subsequently came to Plymouth Colony on the Mayflower. And at least two of her ancestors survived shipwrecks while crossing the Atlantic! Alice’s Grandparents Alice’s father’s parents were Moses Robinett Frazee and Harriet Ellen Morris. Alice’s mother’s parents were Andrew Theodore Finley, and Mary Elizabeth Rose Smith. I have been able to obtain information on ancestors of all four grandparents.

Gall The archaeology of townscapes can provide important information about cultural development and the transfer of settlement systems. This close examination of 17th-century settlement in northeastern New Jersey focuses on Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, between 1669 and 1676. The study highlights the complexity of early colonial settlement systems in East Jersey and also examines the ways in which experimentation with Old World– and New England–style corporation settlement models; strong desires for land accumulation, power, and wealth; inheritance practices; and religion influenced English townscape development within northeastern New Jersey. The aspects outlined herein likely influenced the creation of other township-corporation settlements by New England immigrants to East New Jersey during the 17th century.

  • An Account of East Jersey's Seven Settled Towns, Circa 1684
    An Account of East Jersey’s Seven Settled Towns, circa 1684 J O S E P H R. K L E T T IN JUNE 2005, the State of New Jersey acquired a remarkable cache of colonial manuscripts, maps and imprints at Christie’s auction house in New York City. Most prominent among them was the record book of Robert Barclay, governor of the province of East New Jersey from 1682 to 1690. Barclay, a Quaker religious leader, was selected by the proprietors of eastern New Jersey to receive a gratis twenty-fourth share of the province and lifetime appointment as its chief executive. To prepare the governor for his new role, the proprietors presented him with a volume of transcriptions of key patents and legal documents, maps of the colony, and a record of their own proceedings. This book, which contains an official seal bearing the date 1684, was passed down in the Barclay family. It remained in private hands for over three centuries. The effort to compel the State to bid on the volume and ten other lots of colonial New Jerseyana to be auctioned by Christie’s began with telephone calls by former GSNJ trustee Joseph J. Felcone to the heads of several research institutions, including the contributor as chief of the State Archives. This resulted in conversations between Mr. Klett, Ronald L. Becker of Rutgers, and Chad E. Leinaweaver of New Jersey Historical Society relative to whether or how these treasures might be purchased by a New Jersey institution. Christie’s estimated that the eleven lots could sell for $385,000.
