After leaving the archives and book world to raise her sons, Jake and Sam, she morphed into a 3rd grade teacher at Chestnut Hill Academy. Her interest in cemeteries started with trips to family graves with her mother and grandmother where stories were told for each person visited. With an abiding interest in Philadelphia history, Carol is adding Laurel Hill to her volunteer schedule. BILL BARKER Bill has enjoyed portraying Thomas Jefferson at Colonial Williamsburg since 1993. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Bill’s interest in Thomas Jefferson reaches back to his youth. He enjoys researching the American world Jefferson knew with an interest in the role the man played and continues to play in our American identity. Bill is a student of history and an actor. He is passion- ate about both and brings them together in a way that allows people to be transported back in time to feel, hear and taste what it would be like to mingle with Mr. Jefferson. KRISTIE BERGIE As a resident of Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood since 2004, Kristie is thrilled with the many exciting changes that are occurring throughout the City. Her extensive knowledge of Phila- delphia’s diverse neighborhoods, appreciation for its history, and the wide range of lifestyle op- tions available are just some of the reasons Kristie calls Philadelphia her home.

    All Rights Reserved, 2011, Paul L. Hedren [updated 9-19-11] WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Burial places of officers, physicians, and other military notables of the Great Sioux War compiled by Paul L. Hedren Introduction The names in this “Where Are They Now?” compilation are drawn from Great Sioux War Orders of Battle: How the United States Army Waged War on the Northern Plains, 1876-1877 (Norman, Okla.: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2011), which acknowledges in context every officer and physician engaged in this Indian war. The intent here is to identify the dates of death and burial places of these individuals. The ranks and affiliations given are timely to the war, not to later service. The dates of death and burial places provided are largely drawn from the sources noted at the end. Details that are probable but unconfirmed are noted within parentheses.

  • The First Design for Fairmount Park

    The First Design for Fairmount Park

    The First Design for Fairmount Park AIRMOUNT PARK IN PHILADELPHIA is one of the great urban parks of America, its importance in landscape history exceeded only by FNew York’s Central Park. Its name derives from the “Faire Mount” shown on William Penn’s plan of 1682, where the Philadelphia Museum of Art now perches, and where the gridded Quaker city suddenly gives way to an undulating scenery of river and park. Measuring over 3,900 acres, it is one of the world’s largest municipal parks. Nonetheless, for all its national importance, the origin of the park, its philosophical founda- tions, and its authorship have been misunderstood in the literature.1 About the principal dates there is no dispute: in 1812–15 a municipal waterworks was built on the banks of the Schuylkill, the site of which soon became a popular resort location and a subject of picturesque paintings; in 1843 the city began to acquire tracts of land along the river to safeguard the water supply; in 1859 the city held a competition for the design of a picturesque park; finally, in 1867, the Fairmount Park Commission was established to oversee a much larger park, whose layout was eventually entrusted to the German landscape architect Hermann J. Schwarzmann. This is the version rehearsed in all modern accounts of the park. All texts agree that 1867 marks the origin of the park, in conception and execution. They depict the pre–Civil War events as abortive and inconclusive; in particular, they dismiss the 1859 competition. According to George B. Tatum, writing in 1961, a series of “plans were prepared,” I am indebted to five generous colleagues who read this manuscript and contributed suggestions: Therese O’Malley of CASVA; Sheafe Satterthwaite and E.

Reinterpreting the Laurel Hill Cemetery Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Abstract Laurel Hill Cemetery is an ideal candidate for an investigation of an innovative interpretation regime. It is a complex landscape that contains a wide variety of resources. Those resources cover a range of interests, holding an appeal for a broad potential audience. Importantly, the site is also recognized as one of great national and cultural significance. Formal recognition of Laurel Hill Cemetery's cultural significance and contribution ot the rural cemetery movement came when it was designated as a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1998. It was the first cemetery in the nation to be so designated and remains today an impressive 78-acre sculpture garden and historical resource. Like so many of America's cultural resources, however, the promotion and interpretation of the Laurel Hill Cemetery is not without difficulty.
  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

    ADDRESS: 400-36 S 3RD ST, AKA 301-17 LOMBARD ST Proposal: Construct parish hall Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: St. Peter's Church Applicant: David Ade, SMP Architects History: 1758; St. Peter's Church and Yard Individual Designation: 4/30/1957 District Designation: Society Hill Historic District, Significant, 3/10/1999 Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, [email protected] BACKGROUND: The property in question, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, is a large parcel that occupies much of the block bounded by Pine, S. 3rd, Lombard, and S. 4th Streets. St. Peter’s Church stands at the northeast corner of the site. St. Peter’s Cemetery occupies much of the northern half of the site. The southwest corner of the site, a surface parking lot, is being subdivided from 400-36 S. 3rd Street as 301-17 Lombard Street. St. Peter’s Church proposes to build a parish hall on the site. The overall property, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, was individually designated in 1957 and was included in the Society Hill Historic District as a Significant resource in 1999. Although part of the larger tax parcel at 400-36 S. 3rd Street at the time of designation, the surface parking lot at 301-17 Lombard Street is separately classified as Contributing for its archaeological potential, but not for any aboveground resources. The Historical Commission reviewed and approved a design for the parish hall in 2019, with the requirement that the property owner conduct an archaeological investigation. Since that time, the archaeological investigation has been completed and a new architect has taken over and revised the design of the parish hall.
