  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

    STALLION POWER Caption for photo goes here 44 WINTER 2018 K KEENELAND.COM STALLION POWER For nearly four decades Lane’s End Farm has set the standard as one of the world’s major stallion operations BY MARYJEAN WALL PHOTOS BY DAVID COYLE KEENELAND.COM K WINTER 2018 45 n 1866 an English horse named Leamington stood at stud for one season only in Woodford County, on land known in modern times as Lane’s End Farm. Leam- ington accomplished a lot in that single year — com- mencing a stallion narrative that continues more than a century Ilater for William Stamps Farish III, founder of Lane’s End. The land was called Bosque Bonita when Confederate Brigadier General Abraham Buford returned home from the Civil War. Buford had greater success with Leamington than he did fighting to save Paducah, Kentucky, from falling to the United States. Buford, a sharp horseman who had built his own racetrack on Bosque Bo- nita, saw opportunity in Leamington. The horse had failed at stud in England, but this was Ken- tucky, ruined economically in the war. Few stal- lions remained after outlaws and armies from both sides had emptied nearly every horse barn in the state. Buford offered a stall to Leamington (he did not own him) and sent word to anyone who had managed to hang on to at least some mares. Leamington got down to work. In that one year he sired the inaugural Kentucky Derby winner, Aristides. He also sired that pride of Kentucky and most popular racehorse of the 1870s, Long- Founded by Will Farish, right, Lane’s End continues to thrive in the second generation, with Bill Farish, left, serving as second in command.

  • Rise and Fall of Lexington's Sire Line
    June 3, 2006 Rise and fall of Lexington’s sire line by Rommy Faversham No bell will toll. No pronouncements offered. But, at some point, perhaps, in the next few years - if not indeed already - the legendary male line of Lexington will reach unconditional extinction, as the last of its painfully obscure male representatives takes his final breath. This once greatest of all American sire lines did not end with a bang but the most prolonged of whimpers, amassing well over a century of decay and failure. The male line of Lexington was initiated by the importation of his aging paternal great-great grandsire, *Diomed. Winner of the inaugural running of the Epsom Derby in 1780, the enigmatic Diomed was ultimately deemed a failure at stud in England and dispatched to Virginia in 1798. In his definitive text, Racing in America 1665-1865, esteemed Turf historian John Hervey wrote, “the success of [Diomed’s American] get was so immediate, so sweeping, as to blot out all precedent. He was in no long time regarded as the greatest progenitor yet seen”. In explaining this revolutionary shift in Thoroughbred bloodlines, Hervey noted, “the Diomeds exceeded in size and power any previous American family”. Described as a strong 15.3 hands, Diomed often produced offspring even larger than himself. Diomed’s best son, Sir Archy (1805) has been described as America’s first great runner and remains the oldest member of Racing’s Hall of Fame. Sir Archy’s phenomenal career at stud would ultimately earn him the soubriquet of “Godolphin Arabian of America”, which sought to epitomize his influence as well as underscore the saturation of his blood in subsequent generations.

  • Endurance by Right by Kathleen Jones
    Endurance By Right by Kathleen Jones Endurance By Right was a bay filly born in 1899 from the sire Inspector B. and the imported dam Early Morn, by Silvester. Her name implied the anticipated stamina and ruggedness one would expect from such a pedigree as this. The filly did not disappoint her breeders. She was sired by Belmont and Travers winner INSPECTOR B., who was a son of leading sire ENQUIRER, who also sired Travers winner and Kentucky Derby runner-up Falsetto. Broodmare sire SILVESTER was a son of ST. ALBANS - winner of the English St. Leger (1 mile 6 1/2 furlongs) and the Great Metropolitan Stakes (2 1/4 miles). Second dam LATE NIGHTS was sired by CREMORNE who won the Grand Prix de Paris, a race of nearly two miles. Cremorne was also winner of the Epsom Derby and was runner-up in the English 2000 Guineas. Fifth dam, BROWN BESS was the grand-dam of MUSKET, winner of the Ascot Stakes and Alexandra Plate over "extreme distances". Musket stood a few years in England before exporting to New Zealand where he sired the magnificent racers TRENTON and CARBINE. The latter was particularly well-known for his feats of carrying great weight while setting time records. The famed handicapper and critic Walter S. Vosburgh wrote in his historical volume "Racing in America: 1866-1921" the following: "If ability to concede great weight and a beating to contemporaries is the measure of pre-eminence, Endurance By Right is the greatest two-year-old filly that has appeared within the past fifty years." Before she migrated to Saratoga in 1901, the filly had started at mid-western meetings in nine races, winning eight, including the Clipsetta Stakes at Latonia, and the Lassie Stakes, Petite Stakes, and Lakeside Stakes at Chicago.

  • Tennessees Greatest Stud Belle Meade
    TENNESSEE'S GREATEST STUD--BELLE MEADE WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, II With all the political, social, and economic ties between Ken- tucky and Tennessee• it seems normal that Belle Meade, Tennes- see's greatest stud farm, had close Kentucky connections. The Belle Meade Plantation began in 1807 when John Harding bought 250 acres of land and an old station located six miles southwest of Nashville on the Natchez Road. This trail, which had long been used by the Indians, was a route for boatmen, mail carriers, preachers, soldiers, and settlers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky on the north and Natchez on the south. Harding was one of those tough farmers who periodically took slaves and produce on flatboats down the rivers to Natchez and New Orleans. The Belle Meade Stud dates to 1816 when the imported stal- lion Boaster stood at John Harding's. By the end of the decade such prominent Tennesseans as Sam Houston and Felix Grundy were boarding horses and ponies there. Grundy had moved to Nashville a few years earlier from Kentucky, where he had been chief justice of the state's supreme court. During the 1820s imp. [imported] Eagle, imp. Bagdad, and Sir Archy, Jr., stood at Harding's stable. 1 In the 1830s Harding's interests turned to cotton plantations in Louisiana and Arkansas. Accordingly, near the end of the decade he turned responsibility for managing Belle Meade over to his thirty-two-year-old son, William Giles Harding. The young- er Harding, who was already a brigadier general in the Tennes- WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, B.A., has served as president of the Tennessee Historical Society and is currently a trustee of Vanderbilt University.

Here is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity. A willing servant, yet never a slave."Ronald Duncan “When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.” William Shakespeare, Henry V. Introduction The horse has been an intimate part of human history, going back even before the use of writing, found in prehistoric cave paintings that are more than 35,000 years old. The horse has been a symbol of power, nobility and grace. After their domestication around 3,000 BC horses were ridden to battle, used in transportation and hunting, they ploughed fields, raced for trophies and were displayed on royal arms. They were prized for their speed or their pulling power. The scientific term horsepower (hp) is based on the ability of a draft horse to pull up a certain weight to a specific height in one second. Horses in pairs ploughed the fields and when placed in front of a box with wheels, horses went to battle, ran in competitive races or transported heavy loads.

  • What's in a Name?
    Brief Chronicles Vol. II (2010) 1 What’s in a Name? Hugh Trevor-Roper From Réalités (English Edition), November 1962 We reprint this essay by historian Hugh Trevor-Roper for its perspective on a topic that has generated very little scholarly effort in 400 years—determining Shakespeare’s philosophy and character from the contents of the canon. His methodology, in fact, is that of J.T. Looney, the man who proposed the Earl of Oxford as the man behind the name William Shakespeare. Looney analyzed the plays and poetry of Shakespeare for consistency in theme, plot and characterization and found that the author evinced the following general characteristics: Shakespeare was a matured man of recognized genius, eccentric and unconventional in behavior with an intense sensibility, an enthusiast of drama, a lyric poet of recognized talent who also possessed a superior education classical in foundation, and was the habitual associate of educated people. Looney further proposed that Shakespeare’s particular characteristics included having feudal connections as a member of the higher aristocracy, to be a supporter of the Lancastrian faction, an enthusiast for Italy, a follower of sport (including falconry), a lover of music, loose and improvident in money matters, doubtful and somewhat conflicting in his attitudes to women, and of probable Catholic leanings, Brief Chronicles Vol. II (2010) 2 but touched with skepticism. Trevor-Roper used a variant of this methodology to uncover Shakespeare’s personality and philosophy. Examining the works from the inside, he looked, first, to the range and limitations of Shakespeare’s conscious knowledge and thought; secondly, to the underlying assumptions which are taken for granted by all his characters; thirdly, to the world from which he draws his customary images.
