Claiborne Treasurer The American Consular Association is an unofficial and voluntary association embracing most of the members of the Consular Service of the United States. It was formed for the purpose of fostering esprit de corps among the members of the Consular Service, to strengthen Service spirit, and to establish a center around which might be grouped the united efforts of its members for the improvement of the Service.

ABSTRACT A study of the period 1830-1850, leads us to conclude that Poe's scientific stories were deeply influenced by the scientific developments of his time. This period was, in the United States, an era of invention and innovation in all branches of science. Poe's fascination with science can be traced throughout his life, although he sometimes showed himself an opponent of industrialism and of certain scientific procedures.

  • Arguing in an Age of Unreason: Elias Boudinot, Cherokee Factionalism, and the Treaty of New Echota
    ARGUING IN AN AGE OF UNREASON: ELIAS BOUDINOT, CHEROKEE FACTIONALISM, AND THE TREATY OF NEW ECHOTA Jonathan Filler A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August: 2010 Committee: Dr. Edmund Danziger, Advisor Dr. Ruth Wallis Herndon ii ABSTRACT Dr. Edmund Danziger, Advisor Elias Boudinot (1804 – 1839), editor of the Cherokee Phoenix and a Cherokee leader during his people’s political fight to remain a sovereign nation during the first third of the nineteenth century, remains a controversial figure in American history. Throughout most of his life, Boudinot, a Christian who was educated by Eastern missionaries, was a staunch opponent of the Indian removal movement. In 1835, however, Boudinot and a group of unauthorized “Treaty Party” men signed the Treaty of New Echota against the wishes of the majority of Cherokees - a treaty that sold the Cherokees’ land to the United States and obligated them to emigrate from their homeland. For his part in the treaty, Boudinot was assassinated by a group of Cherokees. He has been remembered variously as a patriot and a traitor, but even some historians sympathetic to his position share common ground with his detractors in implying that Boudinot suffered from poor or corrupt judgment. This thesis makes the case for Boudinot’s “rational mind.” It draws on his published writings – a speech from 1826, personal letters, Cherokee Phoenix editorials, and an 1837 “apologia” – to trace the evolution of Boudinot’s ideas concerning removal. It focuses on three distinct periods in Boudinot’s life: early life, his tenure as editor of the Cherokee Phoenix, and the years following his shift to treaty advocacy.

  • JOHN HOWARD PAYNE, HIS LIFE and ACCOMPLISHMENTS by Hugh R
    JOHN HOWARD PAYNE, HIS LIFE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY Hugh R. King Deliverd at the East Hampton Library June 13, 2002 John Howard Payne was a person of vast experience and of varied undertakings and achievements. He was an actor, playwright, minor poet, newspaper editor, publisher and critic as well as a United States Consular official. He championed for the rights of American Indians, fought for the establishment of copyright laws and he was a gifted director and producer in the world of the theater. Payne was probably the first native American actor to enact the role of Hamlet, the first American performer to appear on the European stage and the earliest American playwright to have his works produced abroad. John Howard Payne insisted on accurate period costumes for performers and included extensive scenery and costume designs for his plays. Payne wrote more than sixty different pieces for the theater including tragedies, comedies, farces and operas and his work was produced in both Europe and America for nearly half a century. Although his work was mainly adaptive and most of his plays and operas are no longer performed, Payne's works enjoyed success until the latter half of the 19th century and were performed by the leading actors of the day .He also wrote the lyrics to arguably one of the world's most famous songs, "Home Sweet Home." Payne's major flaw was that throughout his life he was a poor financial manager. He was lavishly extravagant and never free from financial debt. He had many enemies and detractors and was at numerous occasions the victim of bad timing, misunderstandings and downright malice.
