The Grant Family Magazine Supplementary to the Grant Family History Edited by Arthur Hastings Grant (1554,023,01) Montclair, N. J. February, 1900— December, 1901 THE GRANT FAMILY MAGAZINE. Editorial. When the Grant Family History was published every possible effort had been made to render it complete. Yet it was not com- plete, as none knew better than the editor, and its very appearance in libraries brought in enquiries from branches that had baffled the most careful search. The publication of the records of these lost branches, and of such additional historical and biographical sketches and illustrations as are presented in this number, makes the Maga- zine a necessity to owners of the book who desire to have a complete history of the Family, There will also be enough matter of general interest to make the Magazine well worth its cost to all members of the Family. Its news items will serve to make us better ac- quainted with each other, and to promote the feeling of real relation- ship as members of one Family which the Grant Family Association has already aroused. But for the successful attainment of these ends we must rely upon the hearty cooperation of all members of the Family. Send in what interests you, and you will be reasonably sure of interesting others. We thank our subscribers for the prompt and hearty manner in which they have seconded the proposal to provide a convenient means of communication between the members of the Family, and especially for the kind and interesting letters which in many cases accompanied subscriptions, but which could not be answered or even acknowledged save in this general way. To avoid confusion in indexing, the Magazine is paged continu- ously with the Grant Family History, of which it is a continuation. Slips containing a list of abbreviations are sent to all subscribers who have not the book; these should be carefully preserved, as they cannot be duplicated if lost. A few sample copies of this number are being sent out. Those who receive them may rest assured that subsequent numbers will secure the not be sent them unless they subscribe ; and in order to next number subscriptions must be received before April 15. The second number will be devoted almost entirely to Clan B, of which a large branch has recently been discovered. Members of that clan should send in anecdotes, traditions, and portraits of them- selves and their ancestors not later than April i, so that a good showing may be made for this famous fighting clan. Terms for m- sertion of portraits will be sent on application. Clan A. additional facts about persons recorded in the grant FAMILY history. Bolton, Feb. i.

Elnathan Grant (1103,60) while serving in the Revolution was put on picket duty one night after he had been deprived of sleep for two or three nights, and was discovered by one of the officers fast asleep, and was taken to the guard house and locked up. The next day he was tried for sleeping while on duty, found guilty, and sentenced to be shot. Later in the day some of the officers who had not heard of the affair until after the sentence took pity on him and interceded in his behalf, showing his youthfulness and previous good character as a soldier, and pleaded that possibly there was not even an officer in the army who could have done any better under the circumstances. After a long consultation it was finally decided to revoke the sen- tence and give him another trial as a soldier. It was said that he could not relate the circumstances in after years without being so filled with emotion that he could hardly find words to express the feelings and grief he underwent during that trial and sentence.

DANIEL AARON THE LEGACY OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Once upon a time (and it wasn’t so long ago), the so-called “household” or “Fire-Side” poets pretty much made up what Barrett Wendell of Harvard University called “the literature of America.” Wendell devoted almost half of his still readable survey, published in 1900, to New England writers. Some of them would shortly be demoted by a new generation of critics, but at the moment, they still constituted “American literature” in the popular mind. The “Boston constellation” — that was Henry James’s term for them — had watched the country coalesce from a shaky union of states into a transcontinental nation. They had lived through the crisis of civil war and survived, loved, and honored. Multitudes recognized their bearded benevolent faces; generations of school children memorized and recited stanzas of their iconic poems. Among these hallowed men of letters, Longfellow was the most popular, the most beloved, the most revered.

  • Of Iron and Ozone: the History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012
    Of Iron and Ozone: The History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012 Marsha Ann Tate is Instructor of Communication at Juniata College. n the decades following the U.S. Civil War, a group of industrialists from Huntingdon County, I Pennsylvania, and its environs played a central role in transforming Cobourg, Ontario, a community nestled on Lake Ontario’s northern shore, into a renowned North American resort. Cobourg’s historical importance, however, is not only owed to the number of summer vacationers it attracted from throughout the United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s, but also to their unique character. For example, counted among Cobourg’s seasonal residents were, among others: (a) the wives of Ulysses S. Grant and Jefferson Davis; (b) countless veterans of the Union and Confederate Armies; (c) high-ranking federal and state government officials, including cabinet officers, U.S. Senators, and Supreme Court Justices; (d) wealthy businesspeople; (e) actors and musicians; as well as (f) working-class families. Based upon a decade-long research project, “Of Iron and Ozone” traces the development of Cobourg as a resort community, with an emphasis upon the multifaceted socioeconomic relationships that evolved among the varied individuals who summered there. SETTING THE STAGE Cobourg, located on Lake Ontario’s northern shore across from Rochester, New York, possesses unpretentious beginnings. Although naturally endowed with moderate summer temperatures, refreshing

COOK Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT From the excavation of Atlanta's first municipal dumps, a collection of the city’s oldest and most popular medicines has been analyzed. The process of identifying and exploring the stories behind the medicinal vessels of the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) archaeological collection has led to several paths of inquiry. One such avenue is a look at local manufacturers, their impact, and their products. Focused on embossed glass bottles from 1860-1920 this thesis investigates the roles of medicinal bottles as symbolic for Atlanta’s Gilded Age. I gathered detailed information on nearly 100 products represented by 222 vessels. These artifacts are derived from three sites unearthed during the MARTA excavations conducted by Georgia State University archaeologists during the late-1970s.
