  • Inpittsburgh, 1759-1 8001
    MERCHANTS AND MERCHANDISING IN PITTSBURGH, 1759-1 800 1 HOWARD C. DOUDS November, 1758, the Forbes expedition reached the "forks of the InOhio" and gazed at the smoldering ruins of what had once been the French Fort Duquesne. It was not long before the English conquerors realized what a valuable trading center they had captured. On December 17 Colonel Hugh Mercer arrived to take charge at "Pittsburgh," and on the nineteenth he wrote to Colonel Henry Bouquet, "Ifa Quantity of Indian Goods were got up with a proper person to deal with Indians, great numbers would come over with skins & furr.Ihave been oblidged already to refuse a good many skins, not having a Proper Apartment & besides that, too small acquaintance with the Trade."* The Pennsylvania Assembly meanwhile had made plans to control the trade of this region. An act passed in 1758 appointed three commissioners who were to regulate the profitable "traffick" with the Indians. Shortly after the fall of Fort Duquesne, the commissioners appointed Robert Tuckniss to go as their agent to Fort Duquesne, now called Fort Pitt, and establish a lawful trading post there. During the next four years the provincial agent was followed by other storekeepers who also braved the wilderness to open trading shops at the "forks of the Ohio." About the middle of April, 1759, James Kenny, a Quaker, arrived and set up a store as the agent for Israel Pemberton, a Philadelphia merchant. 3 Competition for the flourishing Indian trade be- 1 Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania on March 30, 1937.

  • From Houses of Refuge to 'Youth Corrections'
    CENTER ON JUVENI LE AND CRI MI NAL JUSTI CE www.cjcj.org Randall G. Shelden From Houses of Refuge to ‘Youth Corrections’: Same Story, Different Day” *Paper prepared for the Midwestern Criminal Justice Association Annual Meeting in Chicago, September 29 - October 1, 2005. This paper is taken from two different chapters in his forthcoming book, Delinquency and Juvenile Justice in American Society. Waveland Press. Abstract Over 180 years ago the first of a long line of prisons specifically designed for young offenders was created in New York City. Called the New York House of Refuge, its creators called it a “school.” The State Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in its famous decision in Ex Parte Crouse, stated that the aims of the house of refuge were to reform the youngsters within them “by training . [them] to industry; by imbuing their minds with the principles of morality and religion; by furnishing them with means to earn a living; and above all, by separating them from the corrupting influences of improper associates.” Subsequent investigations have found that there was an enormous amount of abuse within these institutions and failed to provide any semblance of reform. The closures of these prisons came after numerous scandals. The abuses continued within the institutions that followed (e.g., “training schools” and “detention centers”), so that by the early years of the 21st century we read of similar scandals in more “modern” institutions such as the California Youth Authority (CYA). This paper summarizes the most recent scandals of the CYA and similar institutions, including juvenile detention centers, and makes some linkage to the earlier houses of refuge.
