    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 ROBERT H. CARTMELL (1828-1915) PAPERS 1849-1915 Processed by: Harriet Chappell Owsley Archival Technical Services Accession Numbers: 1968.27; 1974.142 Date Completed: 1974 Location: XVII-D-2-3 Microfilm Accession Number: 1076 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION These are the diaries and other papers of Robert H. Cartmell (1828-1915), Madison County farmer. The papers are composed of an account book, clippings, letters, and thirty-three volumes of Mr. Cartmell’s diaries (the first four volumes of which have been typed and edited by Emma Inman Williams). There are two photographs of Mr. Cartmell. Beginning in 1853, the diaries contain full commentaries on the nature of his farm operation, the weather, and the fluctuations of the cotton market. They contain thoughtful comments on politics and candidates for office and opinions on matters of public interest, such as the price of cotton, slavery, abolition, railroads, agricultural meetings, state fairs, prohibition, religion, secession, the Union, and conditions in Madison County during and after the Civil War. The diaries during the war years are filled with accounts of battles and the movements of Federal armies stationed in west Tennessee. Except for a break from May, 1867 to January,1879, the journals are faithfully kept and rich with information through the early years of the twentieth century. Descriptions of farming have many interesting details, and the views expressed on public affairs are both literate and well-informed. The materials in this finding aid measures 2.1 linear feet.

  • Reminiscences of the Early Days of Minnesota, 1851 to 1861
    Library of Congress Reminiscences of the early days of Minnesota, 1851 to 1861 / REMINISCENCES OF THE EARLY DAYS OF MINNESOTA, 1851 TO 1861.* * Read at the monthly meeting of the Executive Council, May 12, 1913. BY REV. FRANK C. COOLBAUGH, S. T. D. In the early days of which I speak there was no zealous rivalry, nor even friendly competition, between the Twin Cities. Minneapolis was not yet on the map, and St. Anthony was only a wayside village; while St. Paul had already assumed the form of a thriving and bustling city, of prosperous proportions, with two thousand people or more, the capital of the Territory. Of course there was a town of St. Peter, on the St. Peter river, the would-be rival and competitor for capital honors, but it was of less size, less prospects, and far away from the temporary and permanent head of navigation. For no little time both St. Peter and Minneapolis later strove, with much federal aid and no little misappropriation of money, to become the head of navigation, but all efforts and subsidies proved vain. Nature discountenanced, disfavored, and rendered futile all such artificial efforts. Above the Falls of St. Anthony stretched an unbroken wilderness of prairie and pine forest, trodden only by the foot of the wandering red man. At the confluence of the Mississippi and St. Peter rivers stood Fort Snelling, with its stone walls and frowning batteries, the military guardian of the unbounded West. Opposite to the fort and beneath it, crouched the modest hamlet of Mendota, wherein dwelt that prince of men, Henry Hastings Sibley, whose humble but baronial home yet stands as a memorial of him, the first governor of the state of Minnesota, and at no time less than among the first and foremost of its pioneer citizenry.

  • Guide to a Microfilm Edition of the Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records
    -~-----', Guide to a Microfilm Edition of The Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records Helen McCann White Minnesota Historical Society . St. Paul . 1974 -------~-~~~~----~! Copyright. 1974 @by the Minnesota Historical Society Library of Congress Catalog Number:74-10395 International Standard Book Number:O-87351-091-7 This pamphlet and the microfilm edition of the Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records which it describes were made possible by a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission to the Minnesota Historical Society. Introduction THE PAPERS AND OFFICIAL RECORDS of Alexander Ramsey are the sixth collection to be microfilmed by the Minnesota Historical Society under a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission. They document the career of a man who may be charac­ terized as a 19th-century urban pioneer par excellence. Ramsey arrived in May, 1849, at the raw settlement of St. Paul in Minne­ sota Territory to assume his duties as its first territorial gov­ ernor. The 33-year-old Pennsylvanian took to the frontier his family, his education, and his political experience and built a good life there. Before he went to Minnesota, Ramsey had attended college for a time, taught school, studied law, and practiced his profession off and on for ten years. His political skills had been acquired in the Pennsylvania legislature and in the U.S. Congress, where he developed a subtlety and sophistication in politics that he used to lead the development of his adopted city and state. Ram­ sey1s papers and records reveal him as a down-to-earth, no-non­ sense man, serving with dignity throughout his career in the U.S.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A
    Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A. LEONARD (Continued) THE REACTIONAND THE RISE OF THE WHIGS The reign of terror, among office holders, instituted by Jackson had been anticipated by Indiana politicians more than a year before it began. The Terre Haute Register feared it, but the Western Sun, and General Advertiser saw good reason for it. It said in reply to the Register: Certainly there are many offices which cannot have the least bearing on the measures of the general government. But with some offices it is otherwise. As to such, perhaps distinction as to party, might now with propriety be made.1 This feeling apparently was general among the followers of Jackson and no doubt the hope of appointment caused them to put forth more energy to secure a victory than otherwise they would. Jackson’s declaration in January before he came into office, that he has never been, and never would be the cause of the least heart burning, but when slander was resorted to, the country ransacked for secret tales and those promulgated to injure the feelings and character of anyone those capable of such conduct ought to be condemned by all high-minded, honest and honorable men,z came as a welcome bit of information to them. The people of the state were made aware of what they were to expect, when in the first month of his administration Jackson dismissed Gen. William Henry Harrison, as minister to Columbia and appointed Thomas P. Moore. The memory of the Battle of Tippecanoe made Harrison a popular hero in the state and his dismissal brought a storm of protest.

H. C. FOLSOM. PREFACE. Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

  • Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861
    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.
