INTRODUCTION This finding aid covers the gubernatorial papers of Tennessee Governor Benton McMillin (1845-1933), who served consecutive, two-year terms as governor, from 1899- 1903. It consists of seventy-seven manuscript boxes of materials that contain correspondence, special subject files, proclamations, resolutions, miscellaneous materials, bills, election materials, reports, position applications, requests for requisitions, and petitions for pardons. There are no restrictions on the use of the materials, and researchers may make copies of individual items for individual or scholarly use. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This finding aid covers the gubernatorial papers of Tennessee Governor Benton McMillin, who served from 1899-1903. The collection consists of seventy-seven manuscript boxes of materials arranged by record type as follows: correspondence, special subject files, proclamations, resolutions, miscellaneous materials, bills, election materials, reports, position applications, request for requisitions, and petitions for pardons. The bulk of the collection consists of Petitions for Pardons (26 boxes, numbers 53-77); Correspondence (21 boxes, numbers 1-22); and Applications/Petitions (17 boxes, numbers 33-49). McMillin’s efforts to balance Tennessee’s financial situation, improve public education, and reform child labor characterized his tenure as governor. McMillin created a sinking fund that successfully reduced the state debt. He signed legislation establishing uniform textbooks for public schools, provided for factory inspection, and changed the minimum factory employment age from 12 to 14 years. However, because the collection is arranged by record type, it is not certain whether information on these issues can be found within the papers. Researchers looking for information on these issues might look in the Correspondence (boxes 1-22), in the Special Files (box 23), and in the Reports (boxes 29-32). Included in the printed materials (Box 25, folder 5) is the “Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Edward J. Gay A Representative from Louisiana Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate Fifty-First Congress, First Session.” The Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C., printed the book in 1891. Governor McMillin served in Congress with Gay and delivered one of the commemorative speeches. McMillin’s oration begins on page 21 of the booklet. Note: This pamphlet is not included on the microfilm. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Benton McMillin (Democrat) Benton McMillin, the son of John and Elizabeth Black McMillin, was born in Monroe County, Kentucky, on September 11, 1845. He was educated at Philomath Academy in Tennessee, and at the Kentucky Agricultural and Mechanical College (later the University of Kentucky at Lexington). Sometime after the end of the Civil War, McMillin read law under Judge E. L. Gardenshire in Carthage (Smith County), Tennessee. Before moving to Carthage, he set up his law practice in Celina (Clay County), Tennessee. He was admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1871. His political career began in 1874 when he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives where he served until 1877. He was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1878 and served continuously until 1899. After failing to be elected to the U. S. Senate in 1897, McMillin quit congress to run for governor of Tennessee. During his two, two-year terms as governor, McMillin improved Tennessee’s financial situation, improved public education, and reformed child labor. When his second term as governor ended, he entered the insurance business in Nashville. McMillin never held elective office after 1903, although he ran for a Senate seat in 1910 and 1930, and again for governor in 1912 and 1922. President Wilson appointed McMillin as Minister to Peru in 1913, where he served until 1919, when he was transferred to Guatemala, serving there until 1922. McMillin wed his first wife Birdie Brown (the daughter of Tennessee Governor John C. Brown) in 1869, and they had one son. Birdie died several years later and, in 1887, McMillin married Lucille Foster, with whom he had a daughter. McMillin died in Nashville on January 8, 1933, and is interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

  • The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941
    The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941 Andrew Kilsby A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences February 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the rifle club movement and its relationship with Australian defence to 1941. It looks at the origins and evolution of the rifle clubs and associations within the context of defence developments. It analyses their leadership, structure, levels of Government and Defence support, motivations and activities, focusing on the peak bodies. The primary question addressed is: why the rifle club movement, despite its strong association with military rifle shooting, failed to realise its potential as an active military reserve, leading it to be by-passed by the military as an effective force in two world wars? In the 19th century, what became known as the rifle club movement evolved alongside defence developments in the Australian colonies. Rifle associations were formed to support the Volunteers and later Militia forces, with the first ‘national’ rifle association formed in 1888. Defence authorities came to see rifle clubs, especially the popular civilian rifle clubs, as a cheap defence asset, and demanded more control in return for ammunition grants, free rail travel and use of rifle ranges. At the same time, civilian rifle clubs grew in influence within their associations and their members resisted military control. An essential contradiction developed. The military wanted rifle clubs to conduct shooting ‘under service conditions’, which included drill; the rifle clubs preferred their traditional target shooting for money prizes.

HERALDS AT THE DELHI DURBARS Peter O 'Donoghue Three great imperial durbars took place on the Ridge outside Delhi during the height of the British Raj, on a site which was associated with the heroics of the Mutiny. The first durbar, in 1876-77, proclaimed Queen Victoria as Empress of India, whilst the second and third, in 1902-3 and 1911, proclaimed the accessions of Edward VII and George V respectively. All three drew upon Indian traditions of ceremonial meetings or durbars between rulers and ruled, and in particular upon the Mughal Empire's manner of expressing its power to its subject princes.

The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained.
