Allen Robert Allen: From Segregated Atlanta to UC Berkeley, A Life of Activism and African American Scholarship Interviews conducted by Todd Holmes in 2019 Special acknowledgment to the National Park Service for funding for this oral history, as well as preservation and digitization of Dr. Allen's Port Chicago oral history interviews, and Allen's Port Chicago and Civil Rights collections in partnership with The Bancroft Library. Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

A single reading of a Learned Hand opinion is often merely an appetizer. Second and third readings are often preferable, as intel- lectual satisfaction increases with each reading. Because of this, a more effective presentation would have been made if greater spacing and larger type had been used. It is rather strange that outside judicial opinions, Learned Hand did very little writing. Our knowledge of his great intellect, his respect for the discipline of the system, and, above all, his intellectual honesty, tempered with the humility of the great, is derived almost exclusively from his comparatively short, thoroughly reasoned judicial opinions. Whether the author is successful in his attempt to portray Learned Hand as an outstanding example of judicial greatness to laymen is debatable; but, certainly the editor succeeds in producing a book of both value and entertainment. As a trial judge, I derived great pleasure and satisfaction from this interesting exposition of the work of one of the most competent judges who has graced the bench in the last half century.

  • Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War Along the Lower Mississippi
    Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War along the Lower Mississippi Within weeks of the first volley at Fort Sumter, New Orleans bore witness to an altogether different salvo. On May 6, 1861, the docks at Algiers, Louisiana ignited into flames. Nine commercial steamboats— General Pike, Editor, Grenada, Telegram, Baltic, Republic, Madison, Dollie Webb, and Conqueror— mysteriously caught fire. In a matter of moments, over 4,500 tons of timber splintered into kindling and the combined investment of $28,500 disintegrated into ash. Yet, the event was unremarkable. Despite the magnitude of such a multi- vessel conflagration, the inferno drew little local interest or concern. After all, steamboat fires— usually attributed to boiler explosions— were fairly common in the nineteenth century. On average, twenty-one percent of all antebellum riverboats burned or exploded. Between 1847 and 1857 alone, 230 steamboats caught fire. Between 1816 and 1848, 1,433 people lost their lives in riverboat explosions. As citizens of a prominent port town, New Orleanians would have been cognizant of the innate danger and combustibility of steamboats. As such, local officials quickly dismissed the incident as an accident signifying that the notion of intentional boat burning had not yet entered into the public consciousness. 1 Interestingly, at least one party thought the 1861 New Orleans inferno was intentional. The Cincinnati Daily Press reported that the fire was the work of a “negro incendiary.” Whether the newspaper meant that the culprit was an African American, an abolitionist Republican, or simply a degenerate was unclear. What was apparent was the paper’s declaration that the 1 United States War Department, The Annual Report of the Secretary of War (Washington, D.C., U.S.

  • Burford, David (1791-1864) Papers 1810-1915
    BURFORD, DAVID (1791-1864) PAPERS 1810-1915 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archival Technical Services Accession Number: 85.015 Date Completed: December 13, 1985 Location: IX-G-5 Microfilm Accession Number: 1181 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The David Burford Papers, 1810-1915, are centered around David Burford (1791-1864), army officer, businessman and state legislator from Smith County, Tennessee. The David Burford Papers were placed on deposit by Judge G. W. Allen, Dixon Springs, Tennessee. The collection occupies 1.26 linear feet of shelf space, and numbers approximately 450 items. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the David Burford Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The David Burford Papers, containing 450 items, span the period 1810-1915, although the bulk is largely concentrated in the years 1814-1840. The collection is composed of accounts, correspondence, court records, election records, genealogical data, horse records, land records, legal documents, lists, military records, passes, slave records and several miscellaneous items. Over one half of the collection consists of correspondence addressed to David Burford while he and Colonel Robert Allen were engaged in a mercantile business in Carthage, Tennessee. Most of these letters were of a business nature and concerned payments on account, acceptance of bank drafts for collection and payment, selling of tobacco through various mercantile firms in New Orleans and other financial transactions. Following the financial panic of 1819 the contents of these business letters reflected the general anxiety in business circles. Several correspondents from New Orleans decried the general state of business including the depressed market for agricultural products, particularly tobacco, the inability to procure United States bank notes to remit for drafts left for collection, business failures in New York City, the dull slave market, and many bank failures in Baltimore.

This study is a historical analysis of the effectiveness of Union cavalry during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. In a campaign noted for the highly skilled maneuver conducted by General William Tecumseh Sherman, the effective employment of the cavalry was essential. The Union cavalry had the missions of providing security to the flanks of the army and protecting the supply lines by guarding the railroad and by striking against the Confederate cavalry. Later in the campaign, the Union leadership introduced the task of destroying Confederate railroads as a cavalry mission. The Union cavalry failed to perform these missions adequately. First, this work investigates the tradition of the Union cavalry and the state of Sherman's cavalry at the beginning of the campaign. Secondly, an analysis of the cavalry operations breaks the use of cavalry into three phases a-nd focuses on the various missions which were attempted. Finally, the study addresses the lessons learned and what the applicability is for modern operations. This study concludes that although the Union cavalry was well manned and well eauipped, improper employment and deficient senior leadership caused it to play an unsuccessful and detrimental -part in the overall campaign.
