  • Skinners: Patriot "Friends" Or Loyalist Foes? by Lincoln Diamant
    Skinners: Patriot "Friends" or Loyalist Foes? by Lincoln Diamant t is never too late to correct a libel, even though, as Mark Twain joked, a lie is halfway around the world before the truth can pull on its pants. But to set the record straight for future lower I Hudson Valley histories, pamphlets, and schoolbooks . the answer to the title question of this essay is, simply, "loyalist foes." For more than a century and a half, the patriot irregulars who fought British and German invaders in the "neutral ground" between royalists and patriots in Westchester County during the Revolu­ tionary War have been slandered. Ignoring printed evidence 165 years old, too many authors and eminent historians have accused these patriotic citizens of war crimes equal to or worse than those committed by the British Army, its loyalist allies, and its German mercenaries. Unfortunately, the libel continues, telling us more about the ways mistakes are repeated in contemporary historical scholarship than we may wish to acknowledge. Correcting an error so long enshrined in the literature is no easy task. Where to begin? Perhaps the best place is Merriam-Webster's Una­ bridged Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, which carries this definition: "Skinner: one of a band of guerrillas and irregular cavalry claiming attachment to either the British or American troops and operating in Westchester County in New York during the American Revolution.'" 50 The Hudson Valley Regional Review , September 1987, Volume 4, Number 2 "British or American?" Even the simplest definition is ambiguous, and it ignores an important piece of evidence about the origin of the name.

  • The Life and Times of Henry Rutgers—Part One: 1636–1776
    42 THE JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES BENEVOLENT PATRIOT: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HENRY RUTGERS—PART ONE: 1636–1776 BY DAVID J. FOWLER [email protected] From the steeple of the New Dutch Church on Nassau Street in New York, mid-18th-century viewers saw “a most beautiful prospect, both of the city beneath and the surrounding country.” Looking eastward, they would have seen a number of hills. One, about 80 feet in height, was at Corlear’s Hook, a distinctive feature of lower Manhattan Island that jutted into the East River. West of that point along the riverfront and extending inland was the choice, 100- acre parcel known as “the Rutgers Farm.” Situated in the Bowery Division of the city’s Out Ward, it was a sprawling tract that for decades maintained a rural character of hills, fields, gardens, woods, and marshes. In 1776, the young American officer and budding artist John Trumbull commented on the “beautiful high ground” that surrounded the Rutgers property.1 In New York City, one was never very far from the water. Commerce—with Europe, the West Indies, and other colonies— drove the town’s economy. It was a gateway port that was also an entrepôt for the transshipment of goods into the adjoining hinterland. Merchants and sea captains garnered some profits illegally via “the Dutch trade” (i.e., smuggling) or, in contravention of customs regulations, via illicit trade with the enemy during wartime. Since the Rutgers Farm fronted on the East River, where the major port facilities were located, it was strategically situated to capitalize on maritime pursuits.

  • Originalism and a Forgotten Conflict Over Martial Law
    Copyright 2019 by Bernadette Meyler Printed in U.S.A. Vol. 113, No. 6 ORIGINALISM AND A FORGOTTEN CONFLICT OVER MARTIAL LAW Bernadette Meyler ABSTRACT—This Symposium Essay asks what a largely forgotten conflict over habeas corpus and martial law in mid-eighteenth-century New York can tell us about originalist methods of constitutional interpretation. The episode, which involved Abraham Yates, Jr.—later a prominent Antifederalist—as well as Lord Loudoun, the commander of the British forces in America, and New York Acting Governor James De Lancey, furnishes insights into debates about martial law prior to the Founding and indicates that they may have bearing on originalist interpretations of the Suspension Clause. It also demonstrates how the British imperial context in which the American colonies were situated shaped discussions about rights in ways that originalism should address. In particular, colonists argued with colonial officials both explicitly and implicitly about the extent to which statutes as well as common law applied in the colonies. These contested statutory schemes should affect how we understand constitutional provisions: for example, they might suggest that statutes pertaining to martial law should be added to those treating habeas corpus as a backdrop against which to interpret the Suspension Clause. Furthermore, the conflict showed the significance to members of the Founding generation of the personnel applying law, whether military or civilian, rather than the substantive law applied; this emphasis could also be significant

  • Gaited Morgans History/Origins of Gait
    Gaited Morgans History/Origins of Gait by Bruce Burton Gaited Morgan Association — May 13, 2010. Do not reproduce w/o Author’s approval. The history behind gait in the Morgan goes back to the 17th century with the first Irish Hobbys, Scottish Galloways and English Palfreys, all pacing horses of basically the same breed, imported into New England. Beginning in 1625, these horses arrived yearly and along with these pacers, some Dutch horses arrived in 1630. According to John Winthrop, these Dutch horses came from Tessell (Texel). This is the region where Friesians were bred and have remained quite unchanged. These pacing and Dutch horses formed the basis of a new breed known as the ‘Narragansett Pacer’ in Rhode Island and the surrounding area. These same horses were also brought to Springfield, Massachusetts beginning in 1636 with the Pynchon Party. Eight years later, in 1644, Miles Morgan and his wife Prudence brought one of these horses to Springfield when they were led there by a Narragansett Indian guide. So, pacers like the ‘Narragansett Pacer’ were not just bred in Rhode Island, but all over New England, as that is all there was. The Morgan family continued to breed and own these horses as Nathaniel Morgan, Miles’ son, bought one of these gaited horses from Captain John Pynchon in 1697. So when Nathaniel’s son Isaac gave several mares to Justin Morgan in 1773, they could be nothing else but gaited horses, related to ‘Narragansett Pacers’. Simply put, when Justin Morgan started breeding horses it was from this stock. Figure, the foundation horse for the Morgan breed, which later was named after his breeder Justin Morgan, would have had pacing blood through his dam line.
