  • View of Preparing for College, As His Brother Had Done Before Him
    The Orderly Books of Colonel JVilliam Henshaw October i, 1775, through October 5, 1776 MONG the many orderly books of the Colonial and A Revolutionary periods which have survived, few contain as much detail as those of Colonel William Henshaw. They are particularly interesting because they contain the names of many officers who do not appear in Heitman's Historical Register of the Officers of the Continental Army, show other officers to have been in active service as much as a year before the previously recorded dates of their commissions, and show some to have been attached to regiments with which they have not previously been known to be connected. The Henshaw manuscripts consist of five volumes which cover the periods of May 9 through November 28, 1759; April 20 through September 25, 1775; October i, 1775, through March 27, 1776; March 28 through July 14, 1776; and July 15 through October 3, 1776. They were deposited in the library of the American Antiquarian Society about 1830 by the Henshaw family, by which they were later withdrawn for two long periods. By the will of Mrs. Harriet E. Henshaw, of Leicester, Massachusetts, who died on March 2, 1896, they were given to the Society on condition that at least two copies should be printed for the use of persons wishing to consult them. The executor ruled that the preparation of two typewritten copies would accomplish Miss Henshaw's purpose of preserving the orig- inal manuscript, but the Society has for fifty years had it 18 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, in mind that this remarkable document should be published in full.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.
