NOTWITHSTANDING all the care that has been spent on the prep­ aration of this work, the Author cannot: say that he is satisfied. Though he has done all in· his power to collect information relating to the history,of each person mentioned, the book must appear to his rtladers, as it appears to himself, defective in execution and meagre in detail. But had he made perfection his standard it would never have been printed. It is now given to the members of the Kennedy family, in the hope that it may preserve a lively interest in their past history. The original design was to collect the names of the descendants . " . of William Kennedy and his wife Mary Henderson-she ·was some- times called Marian-from the time of their settlement in Bucks County, in 1730, with the view of placing the manuscript in some· library, for safe keeping and future reference; but it has been thought best to accede to the request of many members (Jf the · family, to have it published for their use. With the view of keeping the work within reasonable size, and in order to make it practically useful, it has been found necessary to mention only, and that in a very brief way, the main or e~sential facts in each person's history, viz., the birth, marriage, number of children, profession or business, religion, politics, and ·residence. This rule has been varied from, in a few instances, in order to intro­ duce the biography of some men of historic interest. It is re_gretted that, in some instances, correspondents have furnished only the names of the members of their family, without any connecting ·history. KEY. (*) Refers to the descriptive part.

  • Commencement
    COMMENCEMENT University of Wisconsin-Whitewater December 19, 2020 More than 150 years ago, on April 21, 1868, the state’s second normal school opened its doors to the first class of 48 students and nine faculty members. A progressive spirit guided the development of the institution as it evolved from a normal school, which trained teachers for one-room schools, to Whitewater State Teachers College (1927), Wisconsin State College-Whitewater (1951), Wisconsin State University-Whitewater (1964) and as a member of the 13 four-year institutions in the University of Wisconsin System (1971). Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots. When he visited campus as a transfer student from another Wisconsin university, UW-Whitewater felt like an inclusive family, where everyone belonged — a place that put people first.

  • A Dark Corner of Camelot
    A dark corner of Camelot 50 years after President Kennedy asked his brother Robert to oust Castro, RFK’s files at the JFK Library remain in family control, largely out of view By Bryan Bender Globe Staff / January 23, 2011 WASHINGTON — Stacked in a vault at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Dorchester, individually sealed and labeled, are 54 crates of records so closely guarded that even the library director is prohibited from taking a peek. And yet, archivists contend, the trove contains some of the most important records of Cold War history: diaries, notes, phone logs, messages, trip files, and other documents from Robert F. Kennedy’s service as US attorney general, including details about his roles in the Cuban missile crisis and as coordinator of covert efforts to overthrow or assassinate Fidel Castro. A half-century after those critical events, a behind-the-scenes tussle continues over the Kennedy family’s refusal to grant permission for researchers to freely review them. The disagreement lingers even as the JFK Library this month celebrated the 50th anniversary of John Kennedy’s inauguration by providing “unprecedented’’ access to thousands of records of his presidency. “The RFK papers are among the most valuable, untapped archival resources of foreign policy and domestic history left to be excavated,’’ said Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at George Washington University’s National Security Archive, who has been rebuffed several times in his attempts to gain access to the papers. “This history is immediately relevant to the ongoing debate over US policy toward Cuba,’’ he added.

    INSERT TO CHAPTER SIX B. Records on Cuba 3. Presidential library collections Overview: In response to the public interest in and speculation about the possible connection between Cuba or U.S.policy toward Cuba and the assassination of President Kennedy, the Review Board requested the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential libraries to search its holdings of Cuba records for assassination-related information. These presidential libaries identified additional records for the JFK Collection in the Cuba country files, the National Security files, various office files and personal papers of White House officials, and in certain unprocessed collections of presidential aides and policy advisors. JFK Library records. Augmenting the JFK Library’s initial search and identification of assassination records, a joint team of Review Board staff and representatives from CIA, State Department and OSD, visited the JFK Library in June, 1996 to conduct a comprehensive review of JFK Library closed collections. This joint-effort enabled an on-site declassification of records. The Review Board staff was granted access to all of the Library’s National Security Files containing records on Cuba from the Kennedy administration. As a result of this effort, the 2 JFK Library released 30 boxes of Cuba files which included assassination records identified by the Review Board that were sent to the JFK Collection. The Library also opened the presidential recordings on the Cuban Missile Crisis and sent copies of these to the JFK Collection. Subsequent to this visit, additional records on Cuba were identified as assassination-related. The Review Board coordinated the declassification of those records requiring multiple agency review.

  • Thirteen Days Is the Story of Mankind's Closest Brush with Nuclear Armageddon
    Helpful Background: Thirteen Days is the story of mankind's closest brush with nuclear Armageddon. Many events are portrayed exactly as they occurred. The movie captures the tension that the crisis provoked and provides an example of how foreign policy was made in the last half of the 20th century. Supplemented with the information provided in this Learning Guide, the film shows how wise leadership during the crisis saved the world from nuclear war, while mistakes and errors in judgment led to the crisis. The film is an excellent platform for debates about the Cuban Missile Crisis, nuclear weapons policy during the Cold War, and current foreign policy issues. With the corrections outlined in this Learning Guide, the movie can serve as a motivator and supplement for a unit on the Cold War. WERE WE REALLY THAT CLOSE TO NUCLEAR WAR? Yes. We were very, very, close. As terrified as the world was in October 1962, not even the policy-makers had realized how close to disaster the situation really was. Kennedy thought that the likelihood of nuclear war was 1 in 3, but the administration did not know many things. For example, it believed that the missiles were not operational and that only 2-3,000 Soviet personnel were in place. Accordingly, the air strike was planned for the 30th, before any nuclear warheads could be installed. In 1991-92, Soviet officials revealed that 42 [missiles] had been in place and fully operational. These could obliterate US cities up to the Canadian border. These sites were guarded by 40,000 Soviet combat troops.

  • Washington Decoded
    Washington Decoded 19 October 2007 What Did LBJ Know About the Cuban Missile Crisis? And When Did He Know It? By Max Holland and Tara Marie Egan Writing in August 2007 about the major candidates’ credentials, Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum concluded that it’s questionable whether foreign policy experience is essential for anyone aspiring to the presidency. Exhibit A in her argument was Harry Truman, and Exhibit B was Lyndon Johnson. it’s far from obvious that any specific kind of experience has ever helped a president make good calls. Lyndon B. Johnson had held national office for years before becoming president, but he still couldn’t cope with Vietnam.[1] Applebaum’s implication was that Johnson did not absorb the right lessons while serving as John F. Kennedy’s vice president, even though one of the greatest teaching tools of the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis, occurred during President Kennedy’s watch 45 years ago. But what if Johnson was not permitted to learn the right lessons, which would have had to begin with an accurate understanding of what had happened? What if Johnson was purposely denied important knowledge? What if Johnson thought he had drawn the right lessons, but actually was trying to replicate a manufactured illusion? The most reliable guide to Johnson’s innermost thoughts is the secret tape recordings that he made as president. While sketchy on the subject of the missile crisis—there are only a few references on the tapes over a period of years—enough can be gleaned from them to confirm that Johnson was never privy to the true history of the missile crisis.

Of particular value were those records which discussed the Kennedy administration’s policy toward Cuba, proposed anti-Castro activities, and Operation Mongoose planning. Most of 2 these records were generated by the Standing Group Committee of the National Security Council, with additional CIA and OSD memoranda discussing sensitive Cuban operations. The Review Board staff also identified Cuban records in the closed papers of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Richard Goodwin, and Ralph Dungan, and in the DOJ Criminal Division microfilm collection. The Review Board discovered a wealth of Cuba material within the RFK papers, though not all of it was declared assassination-related.
