Deutsch review online Mercer's Belles: The Journal of a Reporter (Washington State University Press Reprint) by Roger Conant, Lenna A. Deutsch. HistoryLink.org. The first "Mercer Girls" were 11 young women brought from Lowell, Massachusetts, to the Washington Territory on May 16, 1864, by Asa Shinn Mercer (1839-1917). Mercer brought a second group of Mercer Girls, or "Mercer's Belles," on May 28, 1866. The women were to work as teachers and serve to increase the number of single women in a Territory teeming with bachelors. A century later, the Mercer Girls' tale inspired the TV series Here Come the Brides . Perry Como sang the show's tongue-in-cheek theme lyric," . The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle." Go West, Young Women. The story of the Mercer Girls' arrival in Seattle began in March 1864. Asa Mercer, age 25, the newly elected president of the University of Washington in Seattle, stood at a podium in the Unitarian church in Lowell, Massachusetts, and told those in attendance how Seattle, in Washington Territory, was a fast-growing town and was in need of educated women, of good moral standing, to work as teachers. To those willing to go West with him, Mercer promised honorable work in schools and good wages. Seattle's population had more than doubled in the years since the first families landed across the bay at Alki in 1851, and the University had just opened its doors in 1861. Mercer explained that as the community grew there were more children of school age but few to teach them. He invited the women to go West with him to a place where both jobs and men were abundant. Many of the women welcomed this idea. The Civil War then in progress had stripped New England of both men and jobs. Lowell was a center of the textile industry, but with no cotton coming from the southern states, most of the textile mills had shut their doors. And for women of marrying age, the prospect of finding a husband in Lowell looked dim. The cost of the trip, Mercer explained, would be $250. They would travel by train to New York City where a ship would be waiting to take them west to Aspinwall, Panama (then part of Colombia). From there they would journey across the Isthmus by train to Panama City and then again by ship to San Francisco and Seattle. The citizens of Seattle were eager to welcome them into their homes and the community while finding them jobs in the various schools. Only a small number managed to come up with the funds needed to pay the $250 passage. On a cold, blustery March afternoon in 1864, a small group, eight women and one man, under the charge of Asa. S. Mercer, stepped aboard a train in Lowell that would take them to a New York harbor and the steamship Illinois . They were: Antoinett Josephine Baker, age 25 Sarah Cheney, age 22 Aurelia Coffin, age 20 Sara Jane Gallager, age 19 Ann Murphy, age unknown Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ordway, the oldest at age 35 Georgianna (Georgia) Pearson, age 15 Josephine (Josie) Pearson, age 19 Daniel Pearson, age 46. Daniel Pearson, who had been ill and felt that the change of climate might be good for his health, decided to accompany his daughters, Josie and Georgia. Pearson left behind in Lowell his wife Susan, son Daniel, and youngest daughter Flora. They would join him two years later when Mercer made his second expedition (January-April 1866). Upon the arrival of Mercer and his group in New York, three people from Pepperell, Massachusetts, joined them: Katherine Stickney, age 28 Catherine Stevens, age 21 Rodolphus Stevens, age 45. Annie May Adams, age 16, also boarded the Illinois that day, intending to make San Francisco her home. Later she decided to continue on to Seattle with Asa Mercer and his group. The S. S. Illinois sailed out of the New York harbor on March 14, 1864, with 798 passengers. It arrived at its destination, Aspinwall, Panama (now known as Colon, Panama) on March 24, 1864, at 5:30 a.m. Panama to Port Gamble. While inquiring about travel arrangements for the train, which was to take the group the 25 miles across the Isthmus to Panama City, Mercer was informed that the ship they were to board there (the S. S. America ) had been delayed due to bad coal and a leaky boiler, among other problems. The ship would not arrive in Panama City for another week. Until then the passengers would have to find accommodations at a local hotel.

Hagen A Thesis in the Field of History for a Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 Copyright 2017 Paul B. Hagen Abstract Founded in 1851, Seattle was little more than a rough-and-tumble frontier town at the onset of the Civil War. However, by 1880 the young community had developed into a small, but prosperous city. Not only did the population grow immensely during this time, but the character of the town also changed. By 1880 Seattle was no longer just another western logging town, but rather a civilized metropolitan center. Although the rapid development of Seattle is widely accepted, the connection between it and the Civil War has not been reported. Historical data suggest that the Civil War did influence the development of Seattle. The Civil War caused Seattle’s population to grow through recruitment of unemployed war widows and orphans. These recruits brought New England culture to Seattle, which served as a civilizing force. The Civil War also led to policies that helped Seattle develop in other ways.

  • Methodist Pioneers, Founding Fathers of Seattle by Everett W
    Methodist Pioneers, Founding Fathers of Seattle by Everett W. Palmer Presiding Bishop of the Seattle Area, The Methodist Church. ERHAPS no major city in the United States owes quite as Pmuch to Methodist pioneers as Seattle, Washington. Most of its founders were Methodists, as were those who played a dominant role in the early and decisive years of its development. Most, if not all, of the first settlers were Methodists. The &st church established was a Methodist Church. The first school was conducted by the wife of a Methodist minister in the Methodist parsonage. The first uni- versity, now the University of Washington, was founded through the initiative of a Methodist minister supported by a loyal Method- ist laity. And this is but a sample. Let us reverse the calendar a century. It is September 25,1851. A party of three men paddle up to the shore of what is now West Seattle. It is the end of a long journey. Since early April they have traveled, first by wagon train from their homes in Illinois to the Willamette Valley, and from there by foot and Indian canoe to the "Puget Sound country." They have been sent ahead by other mem- bers of their party to explore this region and determine its promise. The oldest of the group is John Low, 31. The other two are David Denny, 19, and Lee Terry, also a teen-ager. A tribe of Indians nearby is busily engaged, fishing for salmon. Their chief, a noble man of regal bearing, strides down the beach to bid them welcome.

Yet, perhaps it would be fitting to begin with my dissertation chair, David J. Leonard, whose outstanding mentorship and support has been instrumental to this project. In addition, I was also honored to have Lisa Guerrero and Thabiti Lewis serve on my committee, therefore their service has also been appreciated. Several other Washington State University faculty and staff have made major contributions to my growth and development in the American Studies Ph.D. program including C.

Collins North Dakota State University, Fargo Abstract This research looks at cattle town newspapers of the Old West by considering the career of one frontier editor, Asa Shinn Mercer. Mercer became a newspaper editor and publisher after leaving the University of Washington. He eventually published the Northwestern Live Stock Journal in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. Beginning with this editor, the research examines other primary and secondary sources to find connections with significant but less-researched cattle town newspapers on the northern plains: the Yellowstone Journal, Bad Lands Cow Boy, Black Hills Daily Times, and Sturgis Weekly Record. These cow town papers are examined for and their attitude toward cowboy culture and the range cattle business. The researcher discovered cow town newspapers did not reflect the industry in a similar manner, possibly based on their location and patronage of cattlemen. ©2013, Ross F.

  • The Pritchards of Hyattville, Wyoming and Why They Left West Virginia
    The Pritchards of Hyattville, Wyoming and why they left West Virginia By Linda Huey and David Dronsick The Pritchard family in West Virginia around 1900 before moving to Wyoming. Top row: Jennie, Addie, Alice, Clara Middle row: Lucy, Thomas Tavner and Lucy Ann Elizabeth (the parents), Cort Front row: Irl Preface “Count me in!” was my excited response during a conversation at the Thanksgiving dinner table in 2014. My brother, Paul Huey, and his wife, Lois, retired archaeologists who love to travel, had just announced that they were planning to take a trip to Wyoming. Suddenly my sleeping sentimental memories and desire to return awakened with a jolt. I hadn’t been there since I was a child when we visited my mother’s relatives in 1949, 1957, 1961, and 1963. We would drive in our 1949 Ford from where we lived in New York State when few super highways existed. Now it had been more than 50 years, and time for another trip. I nostalgically remember our wonderful visits to my mother’s Aunt Jennie and Uncle Ralph’s ranch near Hyattville in Big Horn County. Addie Pritchard, my mother’s mother, seemed to have been particularly close to her sister, Jennie Pritchard, who had married Ralph Mercer. Addie had died shortly after I was born, but for my mother, there was still Jennie to visit, as well as other Pritchards in Hyattville. My mother’s grandparents Thomas Tavner and Lucy Ann Elizabeth Pritchard were long gone, but their children (her aunts and uncles) were all still in Wyoming - Jennie, Alice, Lucy, Clara, Irl, and Cort - not to mention the many cousins she grew up with.
