[The Americans came to Vladivostok to guard the Transiberian Railroad as the Russian Revolution was played out across the vast Russian territory.] The number of our troops in Siberia had been (for various reasons, some of which were, perhaps, not unconnected with the practical evidences of displeasure shown by American soldiers detained for duty in European Russia), strictly guarded as a secret by the War Department.

Even though these features are indicative of the preponderance of the belief in the supernatural by some people of the Elizabethan, Jacobean and traditional Igbo societies, Shakespeare and Achebe primarily use the supernatural to represent the states of mind of their protagonists.

Our cover fittingly celebrates this year's bicentennial of the US Capitol by reproducing one of the most prominent Columbus-related works of art in that building rich in a11istic tributes to Columbus, John Vanderlyn's "Landing of Columbus at the Island ofGuanahani, West Indies, October 12, 1492." This magnificent painting, 12 feet high and 18 feet wide, is in the Rotunda. just inside the famous Columbus Doors of the main entrance. On pages 4 and 5 of this booklet we reproduce a more complete description of the cover painting, taken from the book Columbus in the Capitol, Commemorative Quincentenary Edition, Government Printing Office, I 992, which also describes and illustrates many other works of art related to Columbus that can be found in the Capitol and the Library of Congress . To the left in the picture (see our back cover) can be seen the captains of the Nina and the Pinta, the brothers Martin Alonzo and Vincente Yanez Pinzon, each holding the banner of Ferdinand and Isabella (Ysabela), now often CHRISTOPHER._,COL"tJMBUS called the Expeditionary Banner.

  • Charles Fanning, Irish-American Scholar
    Bridgewater Review Volume 8 | Issue 2 Article 7 Jul-1991 Profile: Charles Fanning, Irish-American Scholar Recommended Citation (1991). Profile: Charles Fanning, Irish-American Scholar. Bridgewater Review, 8(2), A12-A13. Available at: http://vc.bridgew.edu/br_rev/vol8/iss2/7 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Profi{e Charles Fanning Irish-American Scholar Charles Fanning of Bridgewater's English Department is a man on a mission. An Irish-American scholar with five books to his credit and numerous published articles and papers, Fanning has spent his professional life exploring and explaining the literary contributions of the Irish who settled in the United States. Fanning's work on the Irish experience in America has been both a joy and a struggle. While he is excited and proud of his scholarly accomplishment, Fanning is also saddened by the prejudice shown toward the work of Irish-American writers. For example, Fanning points out that the writings ofJames T. Farrell of Studs Lonigan fame have been long overlooked by the American literary establishment and in some cases vilified by Anglophile New York critics who relegated Farrell's work to the level of dime store novels. To counteract the injustice done to Irish-American writers, Fanning recently published The Irish Voice in America: Irish­ American Fiction/rom the 1760s to the 1980s (University of Kentucky Press) which is the culmination of eleven years of research tracing the numerous strands of writing by the Irish in America. As Fanning proudly states, Irish-American literature is the largest body of ethnic writing in this country, yet Fanning adds with some sorrow that to most Americans, even second and third generation Irish in the United States, this writing is largely unknown and under-appreciated.

A. FOREWORD. The Committee appointed by the Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America to prepare for publication the Second Lineage Book of the Society offers to the members the result of its labors. The work has been accomplished under circumstances of unusual difficulty and the Committee realizes that it was spe- cially fortunate in that it could avail itself of the great and varied experience of the late and lamented Dr. Christopher Johnston, for so many years the Genealogist of the Maryland Society. The selection by Dr. Johnston (in conjunction with the Committee) of Mr. Louis H. Dielman to examine papers and edit this volume proved a very happy choice. He has given much time and great patience to the task and the Committee feels that through this combination a background is repre- sented for its work which would otherwise have been un- obtainable. This foreword would be incomplete without some mention of the late Wilson Miles Cary, Esq., whose thorough researches are shown in many of the Pedigree papers. Mrs. E. S. Beall, Mrs. J. J.
