Las actuales diferencias entre unos y otros inducen a pensar que en ambos casos la experiencia migratoria respondió a patrones diferentes. Sin embargo, conforme profundizamos en las raíces históricas, sociológicas y políticas de la llegada y asentamiento de irlandeses y mejicanos a Estados Unidos es posible comprobar que ambos modelos no son tan distintos. En uno y otro caso se reproducen comportamientos similares en aspectos relativos a por qué emigraron, a los patrones de asentamiento, las complejas relaciones con el grupo hegemónico, o los sistemas de autoprotección. Palabras clave: emigración; irlandeses; mejicanos; Estados Unidos; asimilación Abstract Irish and Mexicans conform two singular migratory groups in the United States. Nowadays it is possible to find important differences between both groups that could lead to think that in both cases the migratory experience responded to different patterns. However, as we empirically analyze the historical, sociological, and political roots of the arrival and settlement of Irish and Mexicans in the United States, it is possible to verify that the two models are not so different.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

Famed investigative journalist Nellie Bly was born Elizabeth Jane Cochran she later added an "e" to the end of her name on May 5,in Cochran's Mills, Pennsylvania. The town was founded by her father, Michael Cochran, who provided for his family by working as a judge and landowner. The marriage was the second one for both Michael and Bly's mother, Mary Jane, who wed after the deaths of their first spouses. Michael had 10 children with his first wife and five more with Mary Jane, who had no prior children. Bly suffered a tragic loss inat the age of six, when her father died suddenly. Amid their grief, Michael's death presented a grave financial detriment to his family, as he left them without a will, and, thus, no legal claim to his estate. Bly later enrolled at the Indiana Normal School, a small college in Indiana, Pennsylvania, where she studied to become a teacher. However, not long after beginning her courses there, financial constraints forced Bly to table her hopes for higher education. After leaving the school, she moved with her mother to the nearby city of Pittsburgh, where they ran a boarding house together. Taking on the pen name by which she's best known, after a Stephen Foster song, she sought to highlight the negative consequences of sexist ideologies and the importance of women's rights issues.

As the Civil War was drawing to a close, she and the other advocates of woman suffrage believed that victory was at hand. They had allies in high places and invoked the same natural-rights principles that would soon win the ballot for the newly emancipated slaves. But something was wrong with their calculations. When the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments opened the "constitutional door'' for the freedmen, women of all races were left standing outside. Historians point to many factors that led to the failure of the early woman suffiage movement.

Tiie antivacc!nation movement in the United States is becoming widespread and troublesome. The first suit at law against legalized vaccination was brought in 1890.1 Since then there have been many, and although the decisions almost unanimously favor the health authorities, litigation seems on the increase. For the last eight years we have been passing through an epidemic of smallpox, and this showed, in strong colors, the need of more vaccination rather than less. I believe that legal regulation is needed, but I also think, and shall try to show, that our present laws are unsatisfactory in their, results. If laws are made, they v should be so constructed and enforced as to secure the sanction of public opinion.

  • All Hail the Denver Pacific: Denver's First Railroad
    All Hail the Denver Pacific: Denver's First Railroad BY THOMAS J. NOEL But hark! down this once lone valley, You can hear the thundering tread, Of the iron horse advancing, And rushing with firey breath - To gain this goal of welcome; This gem of our mountain land; Bringing the wealth of the nations, And laying them in our hands. Then hail, all hail to its coming, Let the welkin loudlo ring With three times three for the D.P.R., And our Denver "Railroad Kings."* When gold was discovered in Colorado in the 1850s, a town of canvas and wood sprang up among the cottonwood trees where Cherry Creek flows into the South Platte River. Infant Denver City attracted hopeful emigrants from throughout the United States. For a troubled country slowly recovering from the depression of 1857 and heading for a civil war, news of the Colorado '59ers recalled goJden days of the California '49ers. One gold seeker, Libeus Barney, wrote home to the Bennington (Vermont) Banner on July 12, 1859, that "in Denver City they behold in the future another San Francisco, and along the val- •The poem is from the Denver Cowrado Tribune, .Tune 22, 1870. 92 THE COLORADO MAGAZINE L/2 1973 All Hail the Denver Pacific: Denver's First Railroad 93 ley of Clear Creek they seem to witness the uprising of a sec­ did no.t return to the East but sought out the mining towns west ond Sacramento."1 of the Queen City.
