  • Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution Of
    Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution of Oceanography Compiled by Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives April 23, 2007 The first cottages were built at Scripps in 1913, and residents lived there until around 1959, when the University asked that the cottages all be vacated. The reader will notice that this is not a complete residential history; this information was gleaned from SIO Office of the Business Manager accounting books, indicating who paid the rent on various cottages over time. At the end is a partial list of children who lived in these cottages. The cottage numbering follows the numbering scheme on a “Map of a Portion of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, Showing Suggested Improvements, January 1919” which is located in the SIO Office of the Business Manager oversize files. For this history, a numbered 1949 aerial photograph of Scripps shows the cottage locations. Cottage #15 no longer existed in 1949, so its location is drawn onto this aerial photograph.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado Devoted to the Interests of the Society, Colorado, and the West Copyrighted 1924 by the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado. VOL. I Denver, Colorado, July, 1924 NO. 5 The Pioneer Bar of Colorado * By Charles S. Thomas, Denver, Colorado Gentlemen of the Denver Bar Association: My first contact with Denver was at early dawn on the 15th day of December, 18 71. I came unheralded, as one of a dozen passengers on the old Kansas Pacific Unlimited of that somewhat remote period. Its schedule time from Kansas City was 3 6 hours. Among the arrivals were Mr. Channing Sweet, then of Colorado Springs, and Mrs. Wm. E. Beck, widow of the former Chief Jus­ tice, both of whom are still among the living. The passenger station then occupied the present site of the Union Pacific freight house. It was a small two-story brick building, the company offices being on the second floor. The first was occupied by the waiting and baggage rooms, with a combined space of possibly 35 by 25 feet. Nearby was a small hillock, known as Vinegar Hill, tenanted, as I afterwards learned, by an Irish lady known as Vinegar Hill Mary, who specialized as a witness for the people in such criminal prosecutions as the limited enterprise of a small community afforded. I took passage in a yellow omnibus of formidable propor­ tions, drawn by six horses. Having exactly seventy-one dollars in my pocket, I carefully avoided th~ palatial American Hotel, corner Blake and G Streets, and took shelter with Luke McCarthy in West Denver.

  • The Ku Klux Klan in 1920S Massachusetts
    2 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2019 3 EDITOR'S CHOICE The Ku Klux Klan in 1920s Massachusetts MARK PAUL RICHARD Editor's Introduction: HJM is proud to select as our Editor’s Choice Award for this issue Mark Paul Richard’s timely, illuminating and sobering study, Not a Catholic Nation: The Ku Klux Klan Confronts New England in the 1920s (2015) published by the University of Massachusetts Press. Richard breaks new ground in terms of both the thoroughness of his research and the arguments he makes. In the book’s concluding paragraph he suggests that, in order to effectively address the resurgence of racist, nativist and anti-immigrant prejudices today, we must “recognize the importance of the Ku Klux Klan in earlier historical periods, particularly the 1920s, when so many ordinary Americans joined the organization to form one of the largest social movements the country has ever experienced.” Although “the Klan’s presence in New England does not currently form part of the historical memory of most Americans,” Richard writes, the prejudices expressed through the KKK “continue to find expression in contemporary society, even if Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 47 (1), Winter 2019 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 4 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2019 refashioned and exploited by groups who were themselves previously targeted.” He concludes that “only by understanding and acknowledging the KKK’s activities in New England . during the 1920s can we begin to confront the persistent cultural prejudices of modern society” (206-07). Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every Southern state by 1870 and became a potent vehicle for white Southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing a modicum of political and economic equality for African Americans.

A 3412) 1. United States. Immigration and Naturalization Service – Archives – Microform catalogs. 2. Immigrants – Texas – El Paso – Registers. I. Prechtel-Kluskens, Claire. II. Title. INTRODUCTION On the 96 rolls of this microfilm publication, A3412, are reproduced over 200,000 statistical manifests of alien arrivals at El Paso, Texas, May 1909–October 1924. Some U.S. citizens may also be included. These records are part of the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Record Group (RG) 85. BACKGROUND Early records relating to immigration originated in regional customhouses. The U.S. Customs Service conducted its business by designating collection districts. Each district had a headquarters port with a customhouse and a collector of customs, the chief officer of the district. An act of March 2, 1819 (3 Stat. 489), required the captain or master of a vessel arriving at a port in the United States or any of its territories from a foreign country to submit a list of passengers to the collector of customs. The act also required that the collector submit a quarterly report or abstract, consisting of copies of these passenger lists, to the Secretary of State, who was required to submit such information at each session of Congress.
