Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E. Saunders fishing company of Pensacola, FL. The Lettie G. Howard was launched in 1893 in Essex, MA, built at the legen- Lettie G.

ABSTRACT Title of Document: MINOR LEAGUE
ABSTRACT Title of Document: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE CITY: AN URBAN BALLPARK AND REDEVELOPMENT AROUND THE HOBOKEN TERMINAL. Matthew Robert Ponsi Master of Architecture, 2009 Directed By: Professor Matthew Bell, School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation This thesis explores the necessity to develop the area around the Hoboken Terminal into a regional attraction. The site is targeted as a “focal point for development” to become “more of a destination” and a “gateway” for the city. Although boasting ideal accessibility and panoramic views of Manhattan, the area exists as a gap along the Hudson River waterfront. It should be a social destination, a Transit-Oriented Development, and a link between the two expanding neighborhoods. Anchoring the plan will be a minor league ballpark just south of the Hoboken Terminal in Jersey City. This ballpark will serve as a year-round magnet for regional activity and as a cultural attraction adjacent to associated mixed use, residential, and recreational development. It will explore how a stadium should define and be defined by its urban environment and the role it should play in the context of the city. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE CITY: AN URBAN BALLPARK AND REDEVELOPMENT AROUND THE HOBOKEN TERMINAL. By Matthew Robert Ponsi Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture 2009 Advisory Committee: Professor Matthew Bell, Chair Associate Professor Brian Kelly Associate Professor Madlen Simon Glenn R.

Jefferson Davis: Froitlpresident to Place-Naitle
Jefferson Davis: froITlPresident to Place-NaITle PHILIP c. KOLIN THE NAMES OF THE presidents have had a profound effect, political and patriotic, upon our country. H. L. Mencken unerringly states that "Washington, of course, is the most popular of American place- names.,,1 Looking just at the names of American counties, 31 honor George Washington, 26 pay tribute to J efferson,2 and numerous towns and hamlets named for Lincoln dot the map of America. The onomastic influence of one of Lincoln's contemporaries, in fact his rival in office, has not, unfortunately, been studied. Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the Confederate States of America, has exerted a tremen- dous influence upon names, place and personal, primarily in the south- ern half of the United States. The commemorative useS of his name are part of an interesting cultural and political heritage. This paper will explore the incidence and significance of Jefferson Davis' name for counties, roads, schools, parks, hospitals, and miscellaneous other places and persons. Before turning to these uses of Davis' name, how- ever, I would like to provide an onomastic sketch of the man and his presidency. From birth Jefferson Davis himself was surrounded by names presi- dential. Davis was born June 3, 1808, in Christian County, Kentucky, just nine months after and 80 miles away from the birth of Abraham Lincoln.3 Davis' father, Samuel, was a strong admirer of Jeffersonian ideals and named his son in honor of the famed Virginian president. Elisabeth Cutting speculates that the boy was really named Thomas Jefferson Davis: "It was a departure from their custom [Davis' parents] 1 H.
