I knew it must have been in the Early Colon­ ial period. When publishing "Father and Son," a life-sketch of my father, Rev. Dr. Henry Ziegler, and of myself, I could not say that my father descended from a certain Ziegler ,vho came across at a definite time. This, therefore, was my problem. Collecting material for our Family Tree began. in a leisurely manner, more than thirty years ago. The Author The serious effort, however, was started about two years ago. Plans were completed the past summer for an extended visit to Pennsylvania, in order to form the acquaintance of our numerous relatives. and to visit the places where great grandfather, Peter Ziegler, and my father lived. A Ziegler family reunion was held in Hasson Park, Oil City, Pennsyl­ vania, August 26, 1933, with more than two hundred present. A Peter Ziegler Association was effected, Captain Harley Jacob Ziegler of Franklin being elected President: E. Willard Ziegler of Oil City, Vice President: Miss Nora Bell Ziegler of Oil City, Secretary-Treasurer.

    86 Indiana Magazine of History railroad builder of the land,” as one who made stockholders happy by the rise in their securities resulting from his manipulation, but who did not seemingly make them sad when, as was more commonly the case, his actions depressed the value of their stock. Gould’s association with western railroads, notably the Wabash, Missouri Pacific, and Union Pacific, was accompanied by construction of new lines and the acquisition of feeders, but though profits were made for a time and dividends paid, all were brought to receivership by spite construction, constant and destructive rate cutting, payment of unearned dividends, extravagant purchases of Gould-owned lines, and excessive costs that benefited only Gould. In his effort to rehabilitate Gould, Professor Grodinsky maintains that these breaches of rail- road agreements and rate cutting benefitted the American economy, and pictures Gould, surely with tongue in cheek, as tilting against monopolistic practices and high rates. His conclusion, despite the most damning evidence to the contrary, is that “the public benefited from his [Gould’s] activities as a man of business in the railroad indus- try and in the field of speculative capital” (p. 610). Few of Gould’s contemporaries could have accepted such a judgment. Gould apparently left no papers which have been available to the author in the preparation of this study. Use has been made, how- ever, of materials on the Burlington Railroad in the Newberry Library, the Villard papers in the Harvard Library, and in other smaller col- lections well known to historians of transportation. Heavy reliance is placed on railroad and financial journals and metropolitan news- papers.

  • Abraham Lincoln and the German Immigrants: Turners and Forty-Eighters
    Abraham Lincoln and the German Immigrants: Turners and Forty-Eighters Introduction Reporting from Springfield, Illinois, on December 9, 1860, only a matter of days after the election, Henry Villard, correspondent for the New York Herald, made a remarkable assertion about Lincoln’s election to the presidency: In Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin, native Republicans now openly acknowledge that their victory was, if not wholly, at least to a great extent, due to the large accessions they received in the most hotly contested sections from the German ranks. That an immigrant population should be the decisive element in a national election was unprecedented. Despite a cautious reservation (“if not wholly, at least to a great extent”), Villard offered a controversial assessment. He was saying, in effect, that Lincoln owed his success to German-Americans.* Historians since Villard have noted, on occasion, the formidable German vote for Lincoln, but assertions about its significance have been challenged. It is not surprising that the claims have been criticized or not taken at all seriously. Historians have ignored Villard’s perspective. Statistics available for the 1860 election do not provide the evidence required to corroborate Villard’s position. Are there other options? Is there a convincing test for Villard’s assertion about the German factor? Can it survive close scrutiny? I. The Radical Turners of New York “[Sigismund Kaufmann’s] name is indelibly linked with the history of the Turner Union and the Turner movement as one of the founders of the New York Turnverein. He was first chairman for many years. He was also one of the founders of the [national] Turner Union, whose chairman he became at that time.” [Heinrich Metzner], “Sigismund Kaufmann,” August 24, 1889 II.

PREFACE. In bringing before the public a work that has for its specific subject the training of the racehorse, and incident- ally offers some observations on turf matters generally, the author feels the need of its indulgence. The experience gathered as the result of thirty years un- wearied labour in the management of a large racing-stud, is, he feels, the best apology he can put forward for the attempt to write comprehensively on matters never before so treated by a trainer. In order to inform, to please, and to encourage the student, a thorough knowledge of the subject must be supplemented by facts clearly stated, and by arguments based on experiences that have stood the test of time. It is perhaps too common to represent technical or professional matters as full of mystery to the unlearned. Such a pre- tence would be out of place here. Our subject is one easy J of comprehension, and it is the intention and desire of the writer to apply to it the simple treatment of which it is susceptible ; to set forth practical knowledge and important and ascertained truths deduced from daily observation in a 3 —t? manner intelligible to the ordinary reader.
