  • Founding Fathers" in American History Dissertations
    EVOLVING OUR HEROES: AN ANALYSIS OF FOUNDERS AND "FOUNDING FATHERS" IN AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATIONS John M. Stawicki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2019 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Ruth Herndon Scott Martin © 2019 John Stawicki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This thesis studies scholarly memory of the American founders and “Founding Fathers” via inclusion in American dissertations. Using eighty-one semi-randomly and diversely selected founders as case subjects to examine and trace how individual, group, and collective founder interest evolved over time, this thesis uniquely analyzes 20th and 21st Century Revolutionary American scholarship on the founders by dividing it five distinct periods, with the most recent period coinciding with “founders chic.” Using data analysis and topic modeling, this thesis engages three primary historiographic questions: What founders are most prevalent in Revolutionary scholarship? Are social, cultural, and “from below” histories increasing? And if said histories are increasing, are the “New Founders,” individuals only recently considered vital to the era, posited by these histories outnumbering the Top Seven Founders (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine) in founder scholarship? The thesis concludes that the Top Seven Founders have always dominated founder dissertation scholarship, that social, cultural, and “from below” histories are increasing, and that social categorical and “New Founder” histories are steadily increasing as Top Seven Founder studies are slowly decreasing, trends that may shift the Revolutionary America field away from the Top Seven Founders in future years, but is not yet significantly doing so.

ALBANS RAID-A BIBLIOGRAPHY By RoBIN W. WINKS HE St. Albans Raid, so well known to every Vermonter, is also T probably the least understood event in Vermont history. The raid has been dealt with in an unfortunate manner and, even in stand­ ard scholarly works, appears to be only a somewhat sensational and highly colorful episode in the Civil War. Because the sensational as­ pects of the raid have been emphasized, subsequent scholars have failed to place the raid in its proper perspective or to study its aftermath. Everyone knows what happened to sleepy little St. Albans on that Oc­ tober afternoon; no one seems to have cared what happened to Canada, Great Britain, or the United States as a result of that colorful episode Actually, the raid was an important factor in a "cold war" along the Canadian frontier which had many of the earmarks of the twentieth century. The St. Albans raid has not received its due from historians. Al­ though it was an event of considerable ii:nportance, it is mentioned in only one standard survey of Anglo-American relations: H. C. Allen, Great Britain and the United States (New York, 195 5). The standard surveys of Canadian-American relations deal with the raid in summary form: John B.

As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political .

Milkis, University of Virginia New Brunswick, NJ May, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Hidden Prince: Governors, Executive Power and the Rise of the Modern Presidency by SALADIN M. AMBAR Dissertation Director: Daniel J. Tichenor Before 1876, no American president had been elected directly from a statehouse. By 1932 five had, and a would-be sixth, Theodore Roosevelt, came to the office through a line of succession made possible by his successful tenure as Albany’s executive. While the modern presidency is increasingly recognized as owing its origins to the administrations of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, an essential common denominator of the two has largely been ignored. The examples of Roosevelt and Wilson –and their progeny –as state executives, have been disconnected from the larger story of how moderns reconceived the office of President. Moreover, the American governorship’s contributions as an institution that helped redefine newly emerging Progressive Era notions of executive power, has been understudied, and in the main, undervalued. When considering the presidency’s shift toward legislative and party leadership, and the changed communicative avenues traversed by modern presidents, it is of great value to first see these phenomena altered by executives at the state level.

    When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Leland K. Wood August 2009 © 2009 Leland K. Wood. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 by LELAND K. WOOD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WOOD, LELAND K., Ph.D., August 2009, Journalism When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The dissertation documents public-relations practices of officers and managers in two companies: the Central Pacific Railroad with offices in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad with offices in New York City. It asserts that sophisticated and systematic corporate public relations were practiced during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, fifty years before historians generally place the beginning of such practice. Documentation of the transcontinental railroad practices was gathered utilizing existing historical presentations and a review of four archives containing correspondence and documents from the period.
