  • Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE: THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, THE PRESS, AND THE “WOMAN WAR CORRESPONDENT,” 1846-1945 Carolyn M. Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

  • The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777
    American Revolution & Colonial Life Programs Pre and Post Lesson Plans & Activities The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777 • The Battle of Ridgefield was the only inland battle fought in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. • Captain Benedict Arnold was the main commander for the battle as the British marched upon a weak Colonial Army. Arnold's defenses kept the British at bay until the larger army could come later. • Brigadier General Gold Selleck Silliman of Fairfield was also involved in the battle. In the primary source letter below, he sends word to General Wooster that they need reinforcements. • Silliman’s 2nd wife, Mary Silliman, writes to her parents after the battle, relieved that her husband and son were unharmed. Although her parents are only a few towns away, she is unable to travel the distance. • Another primary source is a silhouette of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould of Fairfield, who died during the battle. At the Fairfield Museum: • Students will view a painted portrait of Mary Silliman in the galleries. • Students will see the grave marker for General Gold Selleck Silliman, his first wife, and a few of his children. • Students will also see the grave marker of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould. Fairfield Museum & History Center | Fairfieldhistory.org | American Revolution: The Battle of Ridgefield A brief synopsis – The Battle of Fairfield: General Tryon of the British army thought that he would be warmly received by the people of Ridgefield after taking out a Colonial supply post just days earlier.

  • Student Activities Packet
    Name: ____________________________ Date: _____________________________ Activity 1: Be a History Detective! Directions: There are many ways historians or museum professionals can learn about the past. Many times we think primary sources are only writings, letters, papers or books. Another way we can learn about the past is from artifacts or images. In this activity we are going to ask you to act like a detective – you will have 2 minutes to look at one image and then answer the following three questions. Imagine that this image was left behind with no description so think creatively and build a possible story about what it might be showing us. Answer these questions after spending 2 minutes look at the image. There are no wrong answers – but every answer must be supported by what you SEE in the image. 1. What is going on in this picture? 2. What do you SEE that makes you say that? 3. What else do you see? (Take a second look and add to your detective work!) 1 ©Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center 2020 Name: ____________________________ Date: _____________________________ Activity 2: An Introduction to the Battle of Ridgefield Directions: Read the following questions before listening to the presentation on the Battle of Ridgefield – it will help you know what to listen for! You can answer the questions as you listen or come back to answer them when the presentation is done. 1. When was Ridgefield established? Who was living in the area before the English colonists? 2. Why was Lott 2, the house of Benjamin Hoytt and later Timothy Keeler, a good place to establish a tavern? 3.

The original plans were drawn by Colonel Joseph Totten. A violent hurricane in 1846 destroyed most of the fort’s temporary work buildings and supplies, but construction was quickly resumed. Crafts- men for the brick work were imported from Germany and Ireland. Laborers were local slaves whose owners were paid $1.00 a day for their services. This is a view of the fort as drawn by a member of the garrison. It ap- peared in Harpers Weekly, March 2, 1861. Between 1898 and 1905, deciding that the fortress would be less vulnerable if not so tall, the structure was deliberately torn down to one story.
