One is particu larly impressed in reading the book with young Farnsworth's great love for France and devotion to the Foreign Legion. Henry Farnsworth was born at Dedham, Mass., on August 7, 1890. He graduated from Groton School when eighteen years of age, and from Harvard in 1912. The summer of that year, he visited Russia, Hungary and Turkey. When the Balkan War broke out, in the autumn of 1912. Henry went there, and later published " a book of his experiences : The Log of a Would-be War Correspondent". Then he went to Mexico during the revolution of 1913, as cor respondent for the Providence Journal. At the outbreak of the World War, Farns worth came to Paris and joined an independent volunteer corps, Bles' Mounted Scouts. As this corps was not accepted by any of the Allied Governments, Henry enlisted in the Foreign days during the turmoil of battle or the dreary Legion in January 1915. His first impressions sordidness of the trenches. of that corps are contained in a letter written When there was no work of military to utility home a few days later : be done, Seeger usually had pencil and paper in "As for the Legion, so far as I have seen, it is not hand.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. This is the nickname accorded to the Eiffel Tower by Parisians, according to the authors of a collectively-signed letter to Le Temps protesting against it. ‘Les artistes contre la tour Eiffel’, Le Temps, 14 February 1887, pp. 2–3 (p. 2). 2. ‘Les artistes contre la tour Eiffel’, p. 2. 3. ‘L’âme de la France, créatrice des chefs-d’oeuvre, resplendit parmi cette flo- raison auguste de pierres.’ [‘The soul of France, creator of masterpieces, is resplendent within this majestic flowering of stone.’] ‘Les artistes contre la tour Eiffel’, p. 2. 4. As John Joseph reminds us, ‘the word genius itself is etymologically con- nected to genesis and genetic, all having to do with origin’. For Romantic thinkers, ‘there are within any given people certain rare individuals whom we identify as “geniuses”, the original sense of this having been that such individuals somehow embody that originary essence of their people and cul- ture’. Language and Identity: National, Ethic, Religious (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), pp. 45–6. 5. ‘Les artistes contre la tour Eiffel’, p. 3. 6. Blaise Cendrars and Sonia Delaunay, La prose du transsibérien et de la petite Jehanne de France, facsimile edn. (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2010). 7.

    Remarks at the American Academy of Diplomacy Security & Alliances Conference Montalto, October 28, 2017 ©James R. Sofka 2017 Consider a familiar-sounding situation: a treaty ally of the United States undergoes a revolution. The government with which the United States signed the treaty is overthrown and replaced by a repressive regime bent on exterminating internal enemies. Conflict erupts, threatening to engulf the United States in its wake. Media-savvy agents of the foreign power try to influence the American press to get the United States to see things its way. Foreign agents come to the East Coast and manipulate the American party system to build support for their cause. American diplomats are torn between treaty obligations on the one hand and national security on the other as internal factions cleave political consensus at home. Sound familiar? Maybe South Vietnam, 1963? Iran, 1979? Turkey, 2016? Nope. Welcome to America, in the summer of 1793. Wrenching debates as to the wisdom, utility and cost of security alliances are as old as the Republic; indeed, it was through one that the nation achieved its independence in 1783. With them come rewards, opportunities, and dangers—then and now. The earliest efforts of American diplomacy were consumed with how to manage alliance politics in a chaotic world. It was not always pretty—wrestling with these problems, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson grew frustrated and grumbled “I have always considered diplomacy the pest of the world.” This was an understandable outburst given the stress he was under at the time, but when his blood pressure dropped, Jefferson helped create precedents for the handling of security alliances that have conditioned American diplomacy for two centuries.

  • Chapman Field–The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome
    58 Chapman Field-The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome Raymond G. McGuire Cobbled together to encompass more than 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh, and seashore, the army airfield that came to be named after the first U.S. flier killed in France during World War I saw active service for only two months before the war ended. Thereafter local horticulturists and aviation interests vied for control of the property as development crept around its perimeter. With much of the acreage remaining park- land or agricultural through the end of the twentieth century, Chapman Field has persisted as an identifiable entity in Miami-Dade County with a locally recognized name long after its airstrips have vanished.1 Powered flight had barely passed its first decade when the war in Europe erupted in 1914, but German, French, and English govern- ments quickly saw the strategic advantages to be gained from the air- plane over the battlefield. During the first years of the war the United States had a chance to watch from the sidelines, and it, too, discovered that air power was a potentially great new tactic. The U. S. Army had few pilots, however, and few bases for training more; in Florida, only the Naval Air Station in Pensacola was operational. America entered the war on April 6, 1917, and, in a wave of federal spending, $640 million was appropriated by Congress on July 24 of that year for military aeronautics. Many private schools of aviation were taken over by the military, such as Curtiss Field in Miami, and new airfields were estab- lished throughout the country.

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald's Ledger, 1919–1938
    F. SCOTT FITZGERALD’S LEDGER TRANSCRIPTION PAGE 1 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger, 1919–1938 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is one of the richest primary source documents in existence for any literary author. Fitzgerald began recording information in this business ledger sometime in 1919 or 1920 after leaving the Army and moving to New York to begin his professional life as a writer. Fitzgerald divided the Ledger into five sections: “Record of Published Fiction,” “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army,” “Published Miscelani (including movies) for which I was Paid,” “Zelda’s Earnings,” and “Outline Chart of my Life”. The “Record of Published Fiction” and “Published Miscelani” are spreadsheets listing everything he wrote and its publication history up to the time of its final disposition. He meticulously tracked his earnings from 1919 through 1937 in the section titled “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army.” In addition, he recorded Zelda’s earnings from her writing. In the autobiographical section, “Outline Chart of my Life,” he provided background about his early years but later included monthly entries for each year. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is part of the Matthew J. and Arlyn Bruccoli Collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald held by the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, located in the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. The digital version of the Ledger, which includes access to the full text and is keyword-searchable, was produced by the staff of the Digital Collections Department of the University of South Carolina.

  • Victor's Field – the Story of Chapman Field
    Victor’s Field The Story of Chapman Field Scott F. Kenward, DMD April, 2009 In the southeast corner of the Village of Pinecrest, there is a road that seems to have a mind of its own. Diving diagonally southeastward through the regular grid of avenues and streets, Chapman Field Drive crosses Ludlam Road on a beeline to Biscayne Bay, terminating at Old Cutler Road. Less than a half mile south of that intersection on Old Cutler now stands the entrance to three prominent local landmarks: The Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Subtropical Horticulture Research Station and Dade County's Chapman Field Park. All three properties share a common ancestry, the U.S. Army’s Cutler Aerial Gunnery Field, later renamed, Chapman Field. Cutler Field America had remained neutral for the first three years of World War I, which ignited in Europe in 1914. During that time, the US military began to closely watch the development of air warfare over England, France and Germany and realize the advantages of having aircraft over the battlefield. By the time America entered the war in 1917, Congress was ready to appropriate $640 million for military aeronautics. As powered flight was still in its infancy, there were few American pilots and fewer air bases on which to train them. In Florida, only Pensacola’s Naval Air Station was operational at the time. New airfields were built throughout the country, including seaplane bases at Key West and at Dinner Key in Coconut Grove. So, in 1917, 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh and seashore were purchased from Walter H.
