  • 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.

Available at: https://doi.org/10.17077/0003-4827.8857 Hosted by Iowa Research Online The Muscatine Button Workers' Strike of 1911-12 An Iowa Community in Conflict KATE ROUSMANIERE IHE PASTORAL BACKDROP of an Iowa river town might not seem a likely setting for industrial strife. Labor uprisings at the turn of the century are more frequently envisioned in urban slums with overcrowded sweat shops and tenements jammed with immigrant workers. Muscatine, Iowa was never so unfortunate. The small city on the bluffs of the Mississippi River was sur- rounded by the agrarian culture and economy of Iowa and Illinois. But lodged in this rural environment was a booming button industry that all but monopolized the city and the local labor force. The strike of the Muscatine button workers' union in 1911-12 is a significant example of the chaos inflicted on a rural community in the process of industrialization. The history of the strike includes the story of community dynamics as well as industrial conflict. On February 25, 1911 a majority of the forty-three fresh- water pearl button factories in Muscatine shut down produc- tion. The manufacturers claimed that the shutdown was due to overproduction. The 2,500 laid-off workers declared it was a threat against their newly organized union.

  • The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire: Difficult Lessons Learned on Fire Codes and Safety
    August 2011 1 The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire: Difficult Lessons Learned on Fire Codes and Safety By Stephen D. Jones, C.B.O. Firemen search for bodies in the aftermath of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. PHOTO COURTESY OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS What began as a beautiful spring day in March 1911 ended up being the worst single-day disaster and loss of life in New York City up until September 11, 2001. >> August 2011 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire continued 2 Like so much flammable cotton fiber left on the cut- ting room floor, the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire not only caused the deaths of 146 immigrant piece workers, but also provided the spark to incite the Labor-Reform Movement and scores of fire and building code improvements. The fire, which lasted sparsely more than a half hour, devastated the largest “Shirt Waist” factory in the city and shined a light on some of the most egregious fire and building code violations at that time. It would still be years before reforms finally took root, but the sacrifices made by the workers that died that day may have saved countless others. Worker Conditions and Fire Code Enforcement in the Early 1900s New York City at the turn of the century was home to thousands of unskilled immigrants looking for a place to live, a paid job and a better life. For many, Crowds gather around a makeshift morgue assembled on the pier of the East River, many in search of loved ones who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. PHOTO COURTESY OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS “piece work” in the Lower East Side sweatshops was often the solution.

  • Oscar L. Dortch Papers
    Oscar L. Dortch Papers Processed by: Stewart Southard Archives & Manuscripts Unit Technical Services Section Tennessee State Library & Archives Location: I-B-7 Accession Number: 94-131 Date Completed: 2-4-1997 Microfilm Accession Number: 1524 Introduction The Oscar L. Dortch papers consist of approximately 900 items donated to the Tennessee State Library and Archives by Mrs. Lawrence Dortch. Primarily containing personal and business correspondence, both incoming and outgoing, the collection spans the period from January of 1911 through June of 1913. Oscar L. Dortch was superintendent of mining for the International Agricultural Corporation of New York, as well as holding significant personal investments in stock, property, and mining rights in Tennessee. He also served as president of International Mineral and Chemical Company of Columbia, Tennessee, but it is not clear whether this was an autonomous company or part of I.A.C of New York. Much of Mr. Dortch’s business correspondence centers on negotiations to buy and re-sell properties and mining rights, however, his main focus during the years represented seems to have been the negotiations to sell the Volunteer State Company of Giles County, of which he was a major stockholder, to I.A.C. This sale may have been the original reason for preserving the documents. The personal correspondence has three primary themes: the attempt to purchase and ship a horse for the daughter of T.C. Meadows, one of his I.A.C. associates in New York; his efforts to help establish one of Mr. Meadow’s relatives on a farm; and the difficulties Mr.
