  • Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, 1890-1942
    CHAPTER TWO: THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK, 1890-1942 1 COMMEMORATING THE CIVIL WAR The Civil War was a watershed event in American history and a signal event in the lives of all who participated in it. Of the 2.75 million Americans who saw action in the war, 621,000 died and 470,000 were wounded. Efforts to memorialize the fallen and recognize and aid veterans and their survivors began even before combat ceased. The creation of the first Civil War national military parks in the 1890s was preceded by twenty-five years of private and state memorial efforts. Commemorative efforts began in the mid-1860s with the formation of local memorial associations in the South, the creation of Union soldiers’ cemeteries at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and Antietam, Maryland, the preservation of land at Gettysburg, the establishment of national cemeteries by the federal government, and the creation of veterans’ groups, mostly in the North. In the early postwar years, commemoration took different forms in the North and the South. In the 1880s and 1890s, as the veteran population aged, commemorative activity expanded, and contact between ex-Confederates and ex- Federals increased. Blue-gray reunions, often held on the battlefields, became common. The interaction at reunions, a spirit of sectional reconciliation and commemoration of the sacrifice of both sides, and an increased appreciation of the nation’s past all contributed to the successful movement to establish national battlefield parks. In the South, independent, local memorial associations sprang up rapidly during and after the war. Many originated in women’s wartime groups organized to do hospital and relief work.

Vernon, New York February 2010 The small pewter lamp hanging gently from a chain at the eastern wing of St. Paul’s was donated to the church in a late afternoon ceremony, May 8, 1944, by Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger, wife of the publisher of The New York Times. A family heirloom, the lamp was brought to America in the mid 19th Century by Ms. Sulzberger’s great-grandfather Joseph Levy, who fled Germany in the turmoil that followed the failed revolution of 1848. It had been suspended at the front of the synagogue attended by the Levy family in Landau -- quite a journey, literally and symbolically, to an Episcopal Church in Westchester County. In the synagogue, the lamp, ornamented with four cherub heads, served as an eternal light, or Ner Tamid, guarding the ark which housed the Torah scrolls, the Old Testament of the Bible; it represented God’s eternal presence and covenant with the Jewish people. The circular lamp also found a religious home at St. Paul’s since Christians revere sanctuary lamps as symbols for honoring the presence of Jesus and reserving the Blessed Sacrament. But the position in St. Paul’s of the carefully crafted lamp, chiseled with marks and initials indicating its probable 19th Century origin in the German city of Dresden, reflects important historical as well as religious themes.

DALE L. CRESSMAN News in Lights The Times Square Zipper and Newspaper Signs in an Age of Technological Enthusiasm During the latter half of the nineteenth century, when the telegraph had produced an appetite for breaking news, New York City newspaper publishers used signs on their buildings to report headlines and promote their newspapers. Originally, chalkboards were used to post headlines. But, fierce competition led to the use of new technologies, such as magic lantern projections. These and, later, electrically lighted signs, would evoke amazement. In 1928, during an age of invention, the New York Times installed an electric “moving letter” sign on its building in Times Square.

  • The New York Times, Zionism and Israel (1896-2016)
    H-Antisemitism NEW BOOK: Print to Fit: The New York Times, Zionism and Israel (1896-2016) Discussion published by Matthew Charlton on Friday, March 22, 2019 Academic Studies Press is pleased to announce the publication of Print to Fit: The New York Times, Zionism and Israel (1896-2016) by Jerold S. Auerbach. Series: Antisemitism in America February 2019 | 322 pp. 9781618118974 | $90.00 | Hardcover 9781618118981 | $23.95 | Paperback Summary: After Adolph Ochs purchased The New York Times in 1896, Zionism and the eventual reality of the State of Israel were framed within his guiding principle, embraced by his Sulzberger family successor, that Judaism is a religion and not a national identity. Apprehensive lest the loyalty of American Jews to the United States be undermined by the existence of a Jewish state, they adopted an anti-Zionist critique that remained embedded in its editorials, on the Opinion page and in its news coverage. Through the examination of evidence drawn from its own pages, this book analyzes how all the news “fit to print” became news that fit the Times’ discomfort with the idea, and since 1948 the reality, of a thriving democratic Jewish state in the historic homeland of the Jewish people. About the Author: Jerold S. Auerbach is author of eleven books, including a New York Times Noteworthy Book (1976), and articles in Harper’s, The Wall Street Journal, Commentary, and The New York Times. A Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Lecturer at Tel Aviv University, he is Professor Emeritus of History at Wellesley College. Table
