Notes for Kennedypaper
“WE WILL COME BACK” SENATOR JOHN F. KENNEDY’S OCTOBER 3, 1960 CAMPAIGN TOUR IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BY NICHOLAS L. RION FOR DR. SAMUEL WHEELER HISTORY OF ILLINOIS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY MAY 2010 1 FOREWARD The story of John F. Kennedy’s visit to southern Illinois on October 3, 1960 has largely been forgotten over the last fifty years. However, for many who attended one of his speeches that day or saw him in the motorcade their memories are still profound and the experience a most treasured one. In telling the story of events that unfolded that day, I have relied heavily on contemporary newspapers and transcripts of Kennedy’s speeches available at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. I literally rolled dozens of local newspapers from Marion and Harrisburg, to Cairo and Murphysboro. There is a considerable amount of information, observations, and reflections that I simply could not use in this paper—although, they definitely deserve to be recorded at a later date. One thing that puzzled me in my investigations and has been a source of irritation is the complete lack of a paper trail about events leading up to that day and after. There is literally no correspondence between Kennedy and, say for instance, Ken Gray or Paul Powell. I searched aimlessly through Paul Powell’s papers, Paul Simon’s papers, and Ken Gray’s papers all housed in the Morris Library Special Collections to no avail. There are also no internal memos or correspondences between SIU President Delyte Morris and others who undoubtedly had to be involved in organizing the day’s long itinerary There are also no police archives or files that I have been able to find to date. -

The Rewritten War Alternate Histories of the American Civil War
Title The Rewritten War Alternate Histories of the American Civil War By Renee de Groot Supervised by Dr. George Blaustein Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History: American Studies Program Faculty of Humanities University of Amsterdam 22 August 2016 Declaration I declare that I have read the UvA regulations regarding fraud and plagiarism, and that the following thesis is my original work. Renee de Groot August 22, 2016 Abstract The American Civil War (1861-1865) has provided food for counterfactual speculation for historians, journalists, critics, and writers of all stripes for over a century. What if the Confederacy had won? What if the South had abolished slavery? What if Lincoln had lived? What if…? This thesis offers an anatomy of Civil War alternate history as a distinct though eclectic cultural form. It takes apart the most interesting manifestations and reassembles them to show four intriguing functions of this form: as a platform for challenges to narratives of Civil War memory, for counterintuitive socio-economic criticism, for intricate reflections on history writing and on historical consciousness. It shows the many paradoxes that rule Civil War alternate history: its insularity and global outlook, its essential un-creativity, its ability to attract strange bedfellows and to prod the boundaries between fact and fiction. Most importantly, this thesis demonstrates the marriage of sophistication and banality that characterizes this form that is ultimately the
