He graduated from Yale with a B.S. in 1921 with a degree in mining. Although educated as an engineer, he dedicated the greater part of his life to publishing, first gaining recognition as managing editor of the New Yorker, where he organized the publication=s original ATalk of the Town@ section during the late 1920's. He continued his success as associate and then managing editor of Fortune during the early 1930's, as vice-president and general manager of Time, Inc.Bunder whose auspices he helped found Life magazine-from 1935-1938, and as publisher of Time magazine from 1937 to 1939. During the 1940's, he created PM, a New York City daily tabloid designed to run without advertisements or comics and to feature well-know writers. It eventually folded in the late 1940's, and Ingersoll went on to found Ingersoll Publications. For the next twenty years until 1975, he owned and operated a string of small-town Northeastern newspapers. He also wrote a number of books, including an autobiography and 2 best-sellers based on his experiences in WWII, THE BATTLE IS THE PAYOFF and TOP SECRET. He died on March 8, 1985. SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE: The Ralph Ingersoll collection is divided into two parts. Part One consists of the papers of Ralph Ingersoll=s ancestors, many of whom were heavily involved in politics in the 1800's and early 1900's. There are many scrapbooks and an abundance of correspondence from key political figures of that era. Part Two documents the life and career of Ralph M. Ingersoll from his childhood until his death in 1985. The bulk of the collection consists of files pertaining to the financial and legal aspects of Ralph M. Ingersoll=s professional as well as his personal life. In addition, there is a large amount of correspondence, diaries, photographs, scrapbooks, and personal memorabilia. While almost every aspect of his life is documented, there is a concentration on the years 1955 to 1975 when he ran Ingersoll Publications. 3 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS USED: Ingersoll, Charles A.-CAI Ingersoll, Charles R.-CRI Ingersoll, Colin M.-CMI Ingersoll, Jr., Colin M.-CMI2 (son of Colin M.

By looking at things such as the food, décor, and dancing at these balls, historians could arrive at an understanding of how the Four Hundred wanted to be perceived by others as well as the various types of capital these elites exhibited to assert their claim as the leaders of upper-class New York. In addition, in the process of advancing their claims as the rightful leaders of Society, the New York Four Hundred transformed elite identity as well as upper-class masculinity to include competitiveness and even fitness and vigorousness, traits that once applied more exclusively to white middle-class masculinity.

  • Philadelphia and the Southern Elite: Class, Kinship, and Culture in Antebellum America
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

  • Charles Ingersoll: the ^Aristocrat As Copperhead
    Charles Ingersoll: The ^Aristocrat as Copperhead HE INGERSOLL FAMILY is one of America's oldest. The first Ingersoll came to America in 1629, just nine years after the T^Mayflower. The first Philadelphia Ingersoll was Jared Inger- soll, who came to the city in 1771 as presiding judge of the King's vice-admiralty court. Previously, he had been the King's colonial agent and stamp master in Connecticut. During the Revolution, Jared remained loyal to the Crown. He stayed in Philadelphia for the first two years of the war, but in 1777, when he and other Tories were forced to leave, he returned to Connecticut, where he lived quietly until his death in 1781.1 Jared's son, Jared, Jr., was the first prominent Philadelphia Inger- soll. He came to Philadelphia with his father in 1771, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1778. Unlike his father, Jared, Jr., wholeheartedly supported the Revolution. Subsequently, he was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a member of the city council, city solicitor, attorney general of Pennsylvania, and United States District Attorney. Politically, he was an ardent Fed- eralist, but politics and affairs of state were never his prime interest; his real interest was the law, and most of his time and energy was devoted to his legal practice.2 Jared, Jr.'s, son, Charles Jared Ingersoll, was probably the most interesting of the Philadelphia Ingersolls. Like his father, grand- father, and most of the succeeding generations of Ingersolls, Charles Jared was a lawyer. He began a practice in Philadelphia in 1802, but devoted much of his time to politics.

  • The Wheeler Family of Rutland, Mass
    The Wheeler Family of Rutland, Mass. and Some of Their Ancestors By Daniel M. Wheeler Member American Society of Cn'il Engineen TO THE MEMORY OF MY ANCESTORS WHOSE NOBLE AND UPRIGHT-LIVES HAVE MADE RESPECTED THE NAME OF WHEELER AND WHOSE VIRTUES I WOULD TRANSMIT TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. THIS VOLUME IS REVERENTLY DEDICATED r I I WHEELER HOMESTEAD, RUTLAND, MASS. (From Top of \Vater \Vorks Tower) INTRODUCTORY How little we know concerning our ancestors, even of those who have immediately preceded us. :n the words of another, "Aye thus it is, one generation comes, Another goes and mingles with the dust. And thus we come and go and come and go Each for a little moment filling up Some little place-and thus we disappear In quick succession and it shall be so Till time in one vast perpetuity Be swallowed up." Most of us reach n1iddle life before we interest ourselves in matters pertaining to our ancestors and it is then too late to avail ourselves of the information that we might have acquired of our elders in our early life. Having been able during the past twenty-five years to devote some odd hours to the study .of his ancestors, the author deems it his duty as well as his privilege to put upon record the facts that he has learned and here­ with presents them with the hope that they may be of some service to posterity. Daniel Webster is reported to have said, "It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors those who do not look upon thems~lves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world." The author is not so foolish as to claim that there are no errors to be found in this volume but he trusts that if errors are found the finder will charitably consider how great and how difficult has been the task of in­ vestigation and compilation extending through many years and involving the searching of hundreds of records widely scattered.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.
