Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo. -

RELIGION and EDUCATION an ABBPAST PUBLICATION Introduction
THE ABBOTSKERSWELL VILLAGE HISTORY SERIES, 3 RELIGION AND EDUCATION AN ABBPAST PUBLICATION Introduction he Abbotskerswell Village History Series, is now well under way, with this being the third in the series; if you have missed the first two Task in the shop as they should still have copies. We now move on to the story of the hugely significant village institutions of churches, chapels and schools. The Abbotskerswell of 2016 is a very different place from the nineteenth century village that features in this edition, when the various religious institutions held great importance in most people’s lives; the fact that a village of under 500 people had five separate religious groups represented here was remarkable. Of course many people rarely left the village and had simple views on life, they were poorly educated and many would have been illiterate. Our village’s story continues with the changes brought about by compulsory education and children no longer leaving school aged ten to go to work. In writing each booklet we have tried to make each one readable on its own, whilst trying not to end up repeating ourselves. They probably make more sense read in sequence, as names such as Mrs Hare do keep reappearing. From the research team’s point of view the exciting thing is the wealth of material that has emerged as more people have learnt of our project. The emergence of village histories going back nearly a century has been fascinating, in this edition we feature two more of them.

ABSTRACT FROM NATURAL HISTORY TO ORIENTALISM: THE RUSSELL BROTHERS ON THE CUSP OF EMPIRE Jenna Larson Boyle Thesis Chair: Dana Sajdi The British physicians Dr. Alexander Russell M.D., FRS (c.1715 – 1768)!and Dr. Patrick Russell M.D., FRS (1726/7 – 1805), both British Levant Company servants, wrote and published two editions in 1756 and 1794, respectively. These brothers resided in Aleppo, Syria, when it was a provincial capital of the Ottoman Empire and recorded their observations and empirical observations in a literary work that would later become the two editions of The Natural History of Aleppo. These editions are vital references for modern scholars concerned with Ottoman Syria, Levantine commercial activity and European presence, and the city of Aleppo. However, these very scholars ignore the significant fact that these two editions were written by two different individuals at two different points in history. Thus, this MA thesis aims to investigate the two editions and illustrate how the variations in these publications were the result of both coexisting and correlated processes that culminated in an eighteenth-century phenomenon of the transformation of British global presence from a commercial power to a modern empire. -

Archaeology of Vagabondage: South Asia's Colonial Encounter and After
ARCHAEOLOGY OF VAGABONDAGE: SOUTH ASIA'S COLONIAL ENCOUNTER AND AFTER A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Avishek Ray 2014 Cultural Studies PhD Graduate Program January 2015 ABSTRACT Archeology of Vagabondage: South Asia's Colonial Encounter and After Avishek Ray My research examines the figure of the 'vagabond' as a case study to illustrate how 'modern' perception of the 'vagabond' has depleted the diversities in its 'pre-modern' counterparts. It argues that the paranoia towards the 'vagabond' was inherited from the west out of the colonial contact leading to the birth of the nation-state and its liaison with 'instrumental rationality' during the high noon of advanced industrial capitalism, while (quasi-religious) itinerancy, on the contrary, had always been tolerated in 'pre-modern' India. The problems I am addressing are: What is the line of thread that separates the 'traveler' from the 'vagabond', the 'explorer' from the 'wanderer'? How do we then politically account for the historic 'ruptures' in the vagabond having been tolerated in the ancient 'Indic' thought [cf. Manusmriti, Arthshastra], encouraged in early Buddhist discourse [cf. Samannaphala Sutta], revered as the 'holy Other' in the Middle Ages [cf. Bhakti-Sufi literature], and eventually marginalized in the 'modern'? While considering issues of cultural differences, my thesis points to how the epistemic shifts from the classical to the medieval, from the medieval to the modern radically alter the value system immanent in the figure of the 'vagabond'. -

At the time of its publication there was a full description of the book in these columns. At that time the secretary and historian of the Pomeroy Family Association was Albert A. Pomeroy of Sandusky, Ohio, who has been continued in the office.

Reconstructing such debate among Company officials and critics from the 1770s to the 1830s, the study makes several further interventions. It argues against what has been perhaps the dominant narrative about Company and British-imperial ideology in this period, a narrative of reorientation from “Orientalist” to “Anglicist” cultural attitudes. It shows instead how the Company shifted from a commercial idiom of sovereignty, concerned with conciliating elites through scholarly patronage, to a territorial idiom, concerned with cultivating popular affection through state-sponsored education. -
