  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

KNAPP. HISTORICAL SKETCH. SoMERSWOETH, N. H., Feb. 10, 1894. To the City Councils: Gentlemen : Your committee, Mayor Chase and Chair- man Freeman, have kindly informed me of your vote of the 8th inst., requesting me to prejjare an historical sketch of Somersworth for publication with your city reports for the fiscal year ending the first day of next month. I should be elated by your estimate of my ability, if the thought that it will be quite impossible to do so much in so short a time did not tend to depress. George Francis Train attempted to go round the world in sixty days. He made the journey in sixty-seven daj's. If compelled to stop at the end of sixty days his journey would have been incomplete- by the distance from New York to Tacoma. Doubtless the chief characteristic of any history of Somersworth which I can prepare in the time allowed me, will be the omission of im- portant facts. Having given you this warning, I will at- tempt to comply with your request by furnishing a brief sketch relating to the history of about ten square miles of land which now contain our not great but goodly and grow- ing city.

THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF MARY HAYDEN GREEN PIKE ,- c f ' (1824-1908) By RACHEL REED GRIFFIN i' B. A., University of Rochester, 1943 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in English) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono J u ly , 1947 ABSTRACT THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF MARY HAYDEN GREEN PIKE (1824-1908) By Rachel R. G riffin Although sketches of the life of Mary Hayden Green Pike appear in Appletons1 Cyclopaedia of American Biography and in the Dictionary of American Biography, an extended study of her life and works has not been written. Whatever the cause of her obscurity, her popularity as a novelist of the "feminine fifties," her enthusiasm for the abolitionist cause, and her value as a propagandist seem to merit more than literary oblivion. Mary Hayden Green Pike, a pre-Civil War novelist of Calais, Maine, was one of the more popular writers to follow in the wake of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

This book Iknew to be imperfect, but hoped that it would awaken a more general interest in the matter, and enable me to obtain more complete records for a second edition. The result justified my expectations, although only a por­ tion of the edition was sold, and since then Ihave obtained records with comparative ease. \ In the preparation of the second edition great care has been taken incopying manuscripts and inreading proof, to avoid errors if possible ;but there are doubtless some, as in a work of this kind it is well'High impossible to exclude them alto­ gether. Often Ihave received conflicting records from differ­ ent sources, and inmany instances have made persistent effort to learn which were correct. It willbe noticed that in a very few instances in the earlier generations, Ihave a record of the birth of male children and know nothing further of them, un­ less itbe the mere fact that they lived to manhood, and it is reasonable to suppose that some of them have descendants ; 4 PREFACE. t but the most diligent research, and the investigation of every clue, has failed to discover any trace of these "lines.

  • Political Women
    Political Women Under what conditions are political elites responsive to social movements, and when do social movements gain access to political elites? This book explores this question with regard to the women’s movement in the U.S., asking under what conditions are Congress and the presidency responsive to the women’s movement, and when will the women’s movement gain access to Congress and the presidency? The book systematically compares the relations between political leaders and each of the three waves of the women’s movement—848–1889, 1890–1928, and 1960–1985, in light of the political dynamics that each wave faced. The author utilizes perspectives and methods from the fields of Political Science, Sociology, and History to illustrate the ways in which changing political dynamics impacted the battle for both women’s suffrage and the Equal Rights Amendment. The book clearly demonstrates the importance of a dynamic institutional analysis of social movement-political elite relations. The author argues that without such an analysis we cannot fully understand the conditions under which legislation of interest to movements will be lobbied for by presidents, introduced into Congress, granted hearings, receive favorable reports, and be reported to the floors of the House and Senate. A significant addition to the study of women’s history and American Studies, Political Women illustrates the important roles that political leaders played in the battle for women’s suffrage and the ERA and demonstrates the political savvy among women suffrage activists who recognized the institutional barriers present in the U.S. political system and fought to overcome them.

Spies All Teir Lives Kilkenny Cat Fight Cartoon with Union General Ulysses S. Grant, published in June 25, 1864 issue of Harper’s Weekly Penn History Review 10 Spies All Teir Lives “Spies All Their Lives”: African Americans and Military Intelligence During the Civil War Carly S. Mayer In December 1863, an Irish-born Confederate offcer of the Army of Tennessee concluded that only one measure could possibly save the slaveholders’ republic. Major-General Patrick Cleburne, panicking about the sequence of devastating defeats suffered by his army, proposed that the Confederacy arm and emancipate its slaves. Such an assertion from a southern senior military offcer was astonishing, to say the least. The Confederacy went to war to preserve the institution of slavery and to defend its right to exist as the only independent slaveholding republic.1 Yet, Cleburne’s memorandum starkly revealed the reality of the war— that slavery was no longer the “great…truth” that Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens had claimed it to be in March 1861.2 Over the course of the struggle, Cleburne insisted, the institution of slavery had become one of the Confederacy’s “chief sources of weakness.”3 Although Cleburne’s proposal was never adopted, his core contention highlighted the immense threat enslaved African Americans posed to the embattled Confederacy.
