    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 25, Number 31 Thursday, August 13, 2009 Opportunity Knocks and Entrepreneurs Answer Restoring North Franklin Street --It’s Happening Now! by Rick A. Richards There are two ways of looking at down- town Michigan City – as a glass half full or a glass half empty. Ever since major retail- ers like Sears and J.C. Penney left down- town in the 1970s for Marquette Mall, the prevailing view has been a glass half empty. Not any more. Thanks to some visionary entrepreneurs with a glass half full atti- tude, more than $2 million in development is taking place in the six blocks of Franklin Street between Fourth and 10th streets. Mike Howard, owner of Station 801, a restaurant at the corner of Eighth and Franklin streets, is excited about a resur- gent downtown. “I think one day it’s coming back,” said Howard, who with partner Jerry Peters, The original signage and some of the original glassware from the 1941-era Peters Dairy Bar that operated on Michigan Boulevard is now a part of the new recently purchased the former Argabright Peters Dairy Bar at 803 Franklin Street. Communications building at 803 Franklin St., remodeled it and opened the Cedar Sub Shop and Peters Dairy Bar. “One of the reasons we bought the build- ing is that we’re seeing things happening downtown on a positive side,” said How- ard. After purchasing the building, Howard tore out some walls, did a bit of minor re- modeling and made a phone call to Debbie Rigterink, who used to operate the Cedar Sub Shop at the Cedar Tap.

George Lippard, Mark Twain, J. Quinn Thornton, and Stephen Crane utilize figures who physically and morally deviate from the “norm” to promote compassionate manhood in texts that illustrate dominant constructions of masculinity structured on aggressive individualism.

  • The Siamese Twins, the Bunker Family, and Nineteenth-Century U.S
    American Family, Oriental Curiosity: The Siamese Twins, the Bunker Family, and Nineteenth-Century U.S. Society Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joseph Andrew Orser Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Adviser John Brooke Alan Gallay Copyright by Joseph Andrew Orser 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines the cultural and social spaces that conjoined brothers Chang and Eng Bunker occupied, interrogating the insights their lives offer into nineteenth-century ideas of race, class, gender, and respectability. Chang and Eng were conjoined twins of Chinese descent whose stage name, the Siamese Twins, derived from the country of their birth. The brothers toured the United States as “Oriental” curiosities from 1829 to 1839, and then settled in North Carolina as farmers, becoming slaveholders, marrying white sisters, and eventually fathering twenty-one children between them. In 1849, the twins returned to touring, this time taking two daughters along with them; until their deaths in 1874, Chang and Eng exhibited themselves and their offspring, touring as the Siamese Twins and Children. Through promotional literature, personal correspondence, visual images and newspaper reports, this work traces the evolution of public discourse about the twins and their families, contributing to other considerations of the twins and the course of American Orientalism. This dissertation goes further, however, by introducing early Asian Americans to considerations of the turbulent terrain of class and respectability in the 1830s and 1840s; the increasingly divisive debates over slavery, nativism, and sectionalism; and the tensions of national reunion in the years following the Civil War.

  • In Side Show
    “COME LOOK AT THE FREAKS”: THE COMPLEXITIES OF VALORIZING THE “FREAK” IN SIDE SHOW Stephen Harrick 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 August 2007 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Lesa Lockford Ronald Shields © 2007 Stephen Harrick All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor The Broadway musical Side Show, by Bill Russell and Henry Krieger, focuses on real- life conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, who sang and danced in carnivals and side shows in the middle part of the 20th century. Side Show dramatizes the Hilton’s rise to fame, as well as their romantic liaisons. Russell and Krieger’s presumed objective with Side Show is to represent Daisy and Violet as individuals, which they succeed at doing. By granting the Hilton twins individuality, the authors give value to the actual Daisy and Violet Hilton. However, Russell and Krieger specify that the performers playing Daisy and Violet be separated throughout the musical. Therefore, Side Show’s conjoined twins are not connected to each other during the performance. In seeking to grant individuality to the actual Hilton sisters, Russell and Krieger have taken away part of what made Daisy and Violet unique individuals. Ironically, the same representational tactics that work to valorize the Hilton twins in the musical also bring with them severe limitations, which thwart Russell and Krieger’s presumed objective of giving agency to the actual Hilton twins. This thesis begins with a brief overview of the historical Hilton sisters, contextualizing the women Side Show seeks to valorize.

  • Remembering Chang and Eng, the Original Siamese Twins – RN
    5/3/2018 Remembering Chang and Eng, the original Siamese twins - RN - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Remembering Chang and Eng, the original Siamese twins RN By Mike Ladd for Earshot Updated Sun 13 Nov 2016, 10:20pm In 1811, on the floor of a fishing boat in a small Thai village, brothers Chang and Eng were born joined at the chest. Fiercely independent, they refused to be treated as second class citizens. They lived full and adventurous lives, travelling through Europe and America with their famous stage show, giving the world the term "Siamese twins". But Chang's great-grandson, Jim Haynes, said when the brothers were born, the villagers first saw them as a bad omen. PHOTO: Chang and Eng Bunker in their later years. "They thought they would bring bad luck, and some members of society (Supplied: Wikimedia Commons) wanted them put to death, but their mother protected them," he said. "Others wanted to separate them, and came up with crazy ideas like suspending them over a wire that would slowly cut through the join." That reaction was not uncommon. Since medieval times, conjoined twins have been seen as the work of the devil, and the medical community's instinct has been to separate them. But Dr Alice Dreger, author of One of Us: Conjoined Twins and the Future of Normal, said it was rare for conjoined twins themselves to want to be separated. "Through history most conjoined twins have been comfortable with the way they are and even felt it was superior," she said. "Chang and Eng, for example, said they brought a double strength and a double will to every purpose." As young boys Chang and Eng soon learned to run, play and swim together, and were just as nimble as other children.

  • “That Bold American:” the Construction of Race in the Letters Of
    “THAT BOLD AMERICAN:” THE CONSTRUCTION OF RACE IN THE LETTERS OF CHRISTOPHER WREN BUNKER by JESSICA ANN BRUMLEY (Under the Direction of Cody Marrs) ABSTRACT Often undervalued in literary studies, Civil War letters encapsulate personal and private exchanges amid a time of national conflict. The letters of Christopher Wren Bunker, a Chinese- Thai American fighting for the Confederacy in the U.S. Civil War, fashion a narrative of assimilation that attempts to defy his ambiguous racialized status, aligning the Bunker family with the planter class of the U.S. South. In his adoption of nineteenth-century letter conventions and the meticulous, performative nature of his writing, Bunker demonstrates his own ideas of whiteness, synonymous with economic privilege and citizenship. He additionally conforms to normative ideas of fraternity and masculinity in response to the distinct Otherness of his family, especially his father and uncle, the Siamese Twins. Viewing these letters as a literary object thus yields a complex account of one individual’s motivations for fighting to defend the perpetuation of an established racial hierarchy to which he does not conform.

Hutchison Beyond Chang and Eng Bunker The title of this book, Chang and Eng Reconnected: The Original Siamese Twins in American Culture, suggests a revisiting of the conjoined twins from Siam who became celebrities in the nineteenth century. Brought to the United States for their extraordinary body, the brothers appeared at sideshows around the world before they settled on a farm to live a middle-class life in North Carolina. Within the field of disability studies, in which freakery as a discourse was intensively explored during the 1990s, renowned scholars such as Rachel Adams and Elizabeth Grosz have analyzed the display of the Bunkers. However, Cynthia Wu does not attempt to historicize or personalize the twins’ experience or examine their particular condition as freak show scholars of the 1980s such as Leslie Fiedler and Robert Bogdan have done. Instead, Wu undertakes a much larger project, her aim being to “reveal how dimensions of power operate within American cultures by providing a transhistorical analysis of materials from the nineteenth, twentieth, and early twenty-first centuries that feature the Bunkers” (p. 2), bringing together disability studies and Asian American studies as well as literary criticism, cultural theory, and anthropology.

Proceeding from the suggestive fact that the “Golden Age” of the U.S. freak show coincided with the height of abolitionism through the citizenship debates of the post-Reconstruction period, my project suggests that the freak show provided U.S. print culture with imaginative resources for confronting the crisis in racial representation brought about by abolition. While many areas of the dominant, white press drew on the freak show to forward racially circumscribed visions of the body politic, other texts from U.S.
