Cartmell (1828-1915), Madison County farmer. The papers are composed of an account book, clippings, letters, and thirty-three volumes of Mr. Cartmell’s diaries (the first four volumes of which have been typed and edited by Emma Inman Williams). There are two photographs of Mr. Cartmell. Beginning in 1853, the diaries contain full commentaries on the nature of his farm operation, the weather, and the fluctuations of the cotton market. They contain thoughtful comments on politics and candidates for office and opinions on matters of public interest, such as the price of cotton, slavery, abolition, railroads, agricultural meetings, state fairs, prohibition, religion, secession, the Union, and conditions in Madison County during and after the Civil War. The diaries during the war years are filled with accounts of battles and the movements of Federal armies stationed in west Tennessee. Except for a break from May, 1867 to January,1879, the journals are faithfully kept and rich with information through the early years of the twentieth century. Descriptions of farming have many interesting details, and the views expressed on public affairs are both literate and well-informed. The materials in this finding aid measures 2.1 linear feet.

  • INTRODUCTION Around 1911, Maḥmūd Nedīm Bey, from 1913 The
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Around 1911, Maḥmūd Nedīm Bey, from 1913 the last Ottoman gov- ernor-general of Yemen, met in Cairo with Horatio Herbert Kitchener, then Britain’s pro-consul in Egypt.1 When the conversation turned to the difficulties of the Ottoman central government with ending oppo- sition to its rule over this southernmost province of the Ottoman Empire, Kitchener offered this advice: “In the Red Sea region, there are French, Italian, and English colonies. If you were to study these colo- nies . and see what has been done and what is being done there, your job would be rendered much easier.” Then he drove his point home 1 In his memoirs, Maḥmūd Nedīm does not specify when exactly this conversation took place. It must have occurred between 1911 when Kitchener took up his post as British consul-general and agent in Egypt and the summer of 1914 when he became secretary of state for war. Maḥmūd Nedīm (1865–1940) was born in Damascus in AMal 1281 (beginning 13 March 1865), the son of a provincial administrator. He was educated at a rüşdīye school (advanced primary school) in Tripoli (Ṭrāblusşām) and entered provincial officialdom at age twelve, as an apprentice clerk. From 1880 to 1894, Maḥmūd Nedīm held positions in the provincial judiciary, in the Hijaz and in Yemen, including as president of the commercial court of Ḥudayda (August 1886–Decem- ber 1887 and April 1888–January 1889) and of Jidda (January 1889–March 1892 and December 1892–September 1894). Starting with two short terms as deputy district governor (ḳāymaḳām vekīli) of Jidda (July–October 1892 and May–October 1893) he continued to work as a provincial administrator for the rest of his professional life.

  • The Twelfth Decade
    1911-1920 The Twelfth Decade Overview The twelfth decade was one of several significant developments and events. After 82 years as a Village, Batavia became a City. Batavia came to have its first City Hall. The police department for the first time had its own building. Also for the first time, there were full-time paid firemen. The community finally had a sewer system and sewage treatment plant. The municipal water system was upgraded and a water filtration plant added. And, as was the case with other cities across the Country, Batavia felt the impact of World War I. Batavia’s population continued to grow rapidly. The number of residents reached 13,541 in 1920 (“Genesee County Information,” Richmond Memorial Library, online, accessed 3 January 2014). This was an increase of 1,928 individuals since 1910. In the view of the author, this decade may be regarded as Batavia’s “golden age.” Main Street still had most of its mansions. A large number of the major manufacturing concerns that defined Batavia were in place. The housing in the City was still mainly single-family homes. Retail activity was almost entirely in a centralized “downtown.” A trolley ran the length of Main Street and the Tonawanda Creek was a major recreational attraction that drew crowds on summer weekends. 1: Infrastructure As indicated in the last chapter, work on constructing sewers began in December of 1909. The layout resulted in all of the sewage being conveyed to a central station at the Municipal Building at 3 West Main Street. As of July in 1911, the work on the sewers was well along.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913
    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913 The arrival of the Tenth Cavalry sent Burlington into demographic shock. Almost overnight the small city acquired a substantial black community, a situation that clearly dismayed many residents. By David Work n July 1909, the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, one of four regular army black regiments collectively known as the Buffalo ISoldiers, arrived in Burlington, Vermont, to begin a four-year tour of duty at Fort Ethan Allen in neighboring Colchester. Their arrival alarmed the almost exclusively white population. Many people feared the presence of sizable numbers of African American soldiers in their community and a bitter debate ensued over whether the city should adopt Jim Crow facilities. For the next four years, the Tenth Cavalry would encounter similar reactions as it traveled throughout the north- east and as far south as Winchester, Virginia. Wherever they went, the black soldiers faced fear and suspicion and had to demonstrate good behavior to win the acceptance of the white population. Created in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry achieved its greatest fame in the late nineteenth century on the western frontier and then served with distinction during the Spanish-American War. In that conflict, the regi- ment charged up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won public renown as the “fighting Tenth Cavalry.” In the early twentieth century, the Tenth fought in the Philippine War, served in ..................... DAVID WORK earned his Ph.D. in American history in May 2004 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He is currently teaching at Texas A&M Uni- versity in Doha, Qatar.
