Ross Browne papers came to The Bancroft Library in June 1978 from Nancy L. Browne and Mrs. Li Browne Caemmerer, in part as their joint gift, and in part purchased as a gift of Clarence E. Heller and The Friends of The Bancroft Library. Biographical Sketch J. Ross Browne - author, journalist, traveller, government servant - was born near Dublin, Ireland on February 11, 1821. His father, Thomas Egerton Browne, a crusading Irish editor and publisher, emigrated to America with his family in 1833, after his prison sentence for sedition had been commuted by the British Crown to banishment. The family settled eventually near Louisville, Kentucky, where the elder Browne became editor and proprietor of the Louisville Daily Reporter. Young Browne's travels began early and he never ceased travelling until his death. Starting as a flat boat deck hand on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, he then studied medicine briefly, and eventually embarked on a career as a writer and journalist. He became a police reporter and newspaper correspondent and tried his hand at creative writing with Confessions of a Quack, or the Auto-Biography of a Modern Aesculapian, based on his medical school experiences, which was published in 1841. The family moved in that year, also, to Washington, D.C., where Ross assisted his father in reporting the proceedings of the Congress in the Globe, the forerunner of the Congressional Record. A year later he signed on as a seaman on a whaler, an experience which resulted in the publication, in 1846, of Etchings of a Whaling Cruise, with Notes of a Sojourn on the Isle of Zanzibar, in which he exposed the abuses suffered by the crew members. After his return in 1844, he married Lucy Anna Mitchell, daughter of a Washington, D.C. physician, and settled in the city, taking up a career in government service, where he became private secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury. Accepting a minor revenue service assignment which would take him to California, he sailed around the Horn on the Pacific in 1849, and, while in California, became the official reporter for the convention which drew up the state's constitution in 1849. Returning to Washington, he published the Report of the Debates in the Convention of California on the Formation of the State Constitution in September and October 1849, and in 1851, set off on his travels again, to Europe with his family, as a correspondent for the National Intelligencer. In the autumn of 1852 the Browne family returned home to Washington and he entered government service again, as a secret agent investigating federal activities connected with the collection of revenue and disbursement of public monies, involving custom houses, Indian agencies and U.S. land offices. In 1868 President Johnson named him minister to China, but he was recalled from Peking in 1869 because of his disagreement with the prevailing government views on “opening” China. Browne's literary career kept pace with his other activities, and the observations made in the course of his travels were published either as books ( Yusef, 1853; Crusoe's Island, 1864; An American Family in Germany, 1866; Adventures in the Apache Country, 1869), or as articles appearing in journals such as Harper's, Graham's Magazine and Overland Monthly. His several published reports, written while in government service, include Reports upon the Mineral Resources of the United States (1867), Resources of the Pacific Slope (1869), and Report of J. Ross Browne on the Mineral Resources of the States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains (1868). The Browne family finally settled in Oakland, California, and in 1870 he began construction of the home that became known as "Pagoda Hill." The closing years of his life - many of them still spent away from his home - were occupied by his real estate and mining ventures. He died on December 9, 1875. Scope and Content His Papers include letters written by him (addressed primarily to his wife); a small file of letters written to him; the journal of his whaling cruise; MSS of some of his articles; reprints, tear sheets and photocopies of some of his published writings; papers relating to his service as minister to China; and miscellaneous papers, including some accounts, land papers, etc. Guide to the J.

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

  • Chorographies, Ancient Ruins, and Placemaking in the Salt
    Casas Montezumas: Chorographies, Ancient Ruins, and Placemaking in the Salt and Gila River Valleys, Arizona, 1694-1868 by Linnéa K. E. Caproni A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Victoria Thompson, Chair Philip VanderMeer Dallen Timothy ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation uses the narrative practice of chorography as a genre for assessing the history of placemaking in the Salt and Gila River region of central Arizona from the late seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. Chorography concerns the descriptive representation of places in the world, usually of regions associated with a particular nation. Traditionally, chorography has served as a written method for describing geographical places as they existed historically. By integrating descriptions of natural features with descriptions of built features, such as ancient ruins, chorography infuses the physical landscape with cultural and historical meaning. This dissertation relies on a body of Spanish- and English-language chorographies produced across three centuries to interpret how Euro- American descriptions of Hohokam ruins in the Salt and Gila River valleys shaped local placemaking. Importantly, the disparate chorographic texts produced during the late- seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries reflect ‘discursive continuity’—a continuity of thought spanning a long and frequently disregarded period in the history of central Arizona, in which ruminations about the ruins of ancient cities and irrigation canals formed the basis for what people knew, or thought they knew, about the little-known region. When settlers arrived in the newly-formed Arizona Territory in the 1860s to establish permanent settlement in the Salt and Gila River valleys, they brought with them a familiarity with these writings, maps, and other chorographical materials.

This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Stuart Rollo 3/2/2021 3 Acknowledgments I wish to extend my warmest and most sincere thanks to Professor John Keane for his attentive, thoughtful, and enlightening supervision throughout the composition of this thesis. John has been a true mentor and friend. His support has extended far beyond what is standard, and I consider myself extremely lucky to have studied under his guidance. In an academy that increasingly runs along technocratic and managerial lines, John is a shining example of the virtues of deep wisdom, expansive inquiry, and the persistent striving to conceptualise and understand what is right. I would also like to thank two other academic mentors and friends, Professor Roy MacLeod and Associate Professor Tess Lea, with whom I worked prior to undertaking doctoral studies. I hope that the example of scholarly rigour that Roy set during our time working together rubbed off on me in some small way.

    UNIVERSIDAD MICHOACANA DE SAN NICOLÁS DE HIDALGO PROGRAMA INSTITUCIONAL DE DOCTORADO EN HISTORIA INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIONES HISTÓRICAS FACULTAD DE HISTORIA CONSULADOS Y AGENTES COMERCIALES ESTADOUNIDENSES EN EL PACÍFICO MEXICANO, 1820-1914 TESIS QUE PARA OBTENER EL GRADO DE DOCTOR EN HISTORIA PRESENTA RODRIGO AKÉ VÉLEZ DIRECTORA DE TESIS DOCTORA EN ESTUDIOS LATINOAMERICANOS MARÍA DEL ROSARIO RODRÍGUEZ DÍAZ Morelia, Michoacán, agosto de 2020. Resumen En este trabajo se revisan el despliegue, las funciones y actividades de la red consular estadounidense en el Pacífico mexicano durante el último tercio del siglo XVIII hasta el comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial. En este periodo los Estados Unidos se erigen como un estado soberano en el continente americano, en el contexto de un sistema interestatal de ascendencia europea, por lo que desarrollaron un cuerpo de principios e instituciones en materia de política exterior para relacionarse con dicho sistema. Entre las instituciones que cumplieron esta finalidad se encontraban los aparatos diplomático y consular. A partir de ese momento, el naciente gobierno estadounidense adoptó las funciones consulares como un instrumento relevante en sus relaciones internacionales. Las redes consulares estadounidenses fueron establecidas en Europa y América durante los últimos años del siglo XVIII y la primera mitad del siglo XIX. En el Pacífico mexicano fueron desplegadas entre 1820 y 1830, durante la etapa final de los movimientos independentistas. Sus funciones originales fueron las de proteger la navegación y la marinería, pero gradualmente se le fueron agregando otra clase de deberes comerciales, políticos y estratégico-militares.
