These historic handwritten volumes include close to 150,000 registrations made in 44 separate judicial dis- tricts before the copyright registration and deposit system was centralized in the Library of Congress in 1870. One of the most unusual District Court copyright entries appears on page 23 of volume 132 from the state of New York. On Dec. 22, 1813, Charles Clinton, District Court clerk for the Southern District of New York, entered a copy- right claim in the name of marine artist and cal- ligrapher George Godsell Thresher (1780–1857) for etchings of a famous naval battle fought dur- ing the War of 1812. What makes this entry unique is that, in ad- dition to the basic registration information, freehand drawings depict the copyright deposit, a work of art recording the engagement between the two great battle ships USS United States and HMS Macedonian. A notation at the bottom of the entry states that the “Above Etchings were taken from the only Drawings on board the United States, and belonging to Commodore Decatur, and approved of as being a correct and accurate representation.” The USS United States was a 44-gun frigate built in Philadelphia in 1797. It defeated the 38- gun frigate HMS Macedonian on Oct.

If I had not taken her AP class, my life probably would have gone in a different direction! At that time math was my favorite subject, but her class got me hooked on studying American History. Thanks, too, to the excellent teachers and mentors in graduate school who shaped and challenged my thinking. At American University (where I earned my M.A.), I’d like to thank Max Friedman, Andrew Lewis, Kate Haulman, and Eileen Findlay. I transferred to UCSB to finish my Ph.D. and have thoroughly enjoyed working with Pat Cohen, John Majewski, Salim Yaqub, and Mhoze Chikowero. I’d especially like to thank Pat, who provided insightful feedback on early drafts of my chapter about the Mellimelli mission (which has been published in Diplomatic History). Additionally, I’d like to thank UCSB’s History, Writing, and English Departments for providing Teaching Assistantships and the staffs of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Library of Congress Manuscript Reading Room, and the Huntington Library for their help and friendliness.

  • Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2017
    Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2017 Updated October 12, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42738 Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2017 Summary This report lists hundreds of instances in which the United States has used its Armed Forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes. It was compiled in part from various older lists and is intended primarily to provide a rough survey of past U.S. military ventures abroad, without reference to the magnitude of the given instance noted. The listing often contains references, especially from 1980 forward, to continuing military deployments, especially U.S. military participation in multinational operations associated with NATO or the United Nations. Most of these post-1980 instances are summaries based on presidential reports to Congress related to the War Powers Resolution. A comprehensive commentary regarding any of the instances listed is not undertaken here. The instances differ greatly in number of forces, purpose, extent of hostilities, and legal authorization. Eleven times in its history, the United States has formally declared war against foreign nations. These 11 U.S. war declarations encompassed five separate wars: the war with Great Britain declared in 1812; the war with Mexico declared in 1846; the war with Spain declared in 1898; the First World War, during which the United States declared war with Germany and with Austria-Hungary during 1917; and World War II, during which the United States declared war against Japan, Germany, and Italy in 1941, and against Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania in 1942.
