NSHS RG5857-123, 2014.115.50 IN MEMORIAM The NSHS lost an esteemed colleague and dear friend with the unexpected death of Senior JIM POTTER Research Historian Jim Potter on August 6. Jim began work at the NSHS in 1967, and over the 1945-2016 years served variously as state archivist, editor of Nebraska History, and finally as senior research historian. Along the way he wrote and edited several books and dozens of scholarly articles. His depth of knowledge was legendary, and it was always shared with generosity and good humor. He is deeply missed. Many people have commented on Jim’s great knowledge of Nebraska’s history, but just focusing on the many things he knew misses a more This issue of Nebraska History News includes important point. one of the articles that Jim wrote within the past “I don’t have all the answers,” he said one day, “but year (see “The Perfect Steer,” below.) John Carter I at least have a pretty good idea of where to look.” had intended to write the article, but didn’t live He knew our collections like no one else, but to complete it. Using Carter’s notes and research, there was more to it than that. In his work as a Potter carried on the work of a departed friend historian, he was guided by a blend of curiosity and colleague. and skepticism. He didn’t have all the answers— In a broader sense, the NSHS as a whole no historian does—but during his long career he now finds itself carrying on the work of several became highly skilled at asking the right questions. colleagues who have died or retired in the past few He not only knew how to find information, but also years. In this task we benefit not only from the good how to evaluate it for accuracy, completeness, and Jim Potter (seated) working work they did, but also from the example they set for perspective. This is what separates historians from at the NSHS in 1968, and us—an example not only for history professionals, more recently on his history buffs, and it’s why Jim’s books and articles but for anyone interested in developing a more motorcycle (above right). represent a body of work of enduring value. complete and accurate understanding of the past.

  • L the Statue
    Sv^l'war i^oiiumeHt: Histciy'- Memory -C^ntroversy ' "*- '' *•* A. Bowdoin Van Riper Research Librarian, Martha's Vineyard Museum The Vineyard has many (barkers^rSctedribrcottmemdrate historical events, hut only two of them are statues. One, at the edge of the State Forest, memorializes the heath hen that the forest - first set aside as a reserve for the endangered bird - failed to save. The other, standing guard over the Oak Bluffs ferry wharf, commemorates a Civil War soldier. This is a story about that statue. It's also - necessarily and inseparably - a story about a man, a town, and a war. It's also, again necessarily, a story about people's memories of that war. This is a complicated story about an (apparently) simple object, but it's interesting - and important, today more than ever — precisely because it's complicated. L The Statue First things first: It is not a Confederate soldier. Despite what Gale Huntington - who should have known better - wrote in An Introduction to Martha's Vineyard back in 1969 . despite what passing tour bus operators may proclaim . despite what your houseguests explained at tedious length last weekend . .. it's a Union soldier. The belt buckle, the cartridge box, the cap badge, and the uniform buttons are all Federal issue. The statue is not, therefore, a direct analog of those at the center of recent controversies in Charlottesville, Baltimore, and Richmond. It was not erected, as so many of them were, as a marker of white power and an implicit warning to blacks to "know their place" in a society that refused to acknowledge their humanity.

  • 1884 History
    Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (a) The History of the Sons of Veterans by A.P. Davis, Originator and Frank P. Merrill Commander-In-Chief The Sons of Veterans of the United States of America The material for the following outline of the origin, organization, purposes, progress and aims of the National Association, now so widely spread and so well known under the above – named simple and highly appropriate official title, has been furnished by Comrade A.P. Davis, the originator of the Order, with the assistance of Brother Frank P. Merrill, the Commander-in-Chief of the Organization, and is approved by the officers of the National Association. The term “Veteran” would indicate one who was experienced in any art or calling, but more particularly that of war. Therefore, before our late civil struggle of 1861-5 had closed, we had what was termed veteran soldiers and veteran regiments. When the end had come, and the Union no longer required the services of her well-trained and faithful volunteer hosts, those who had passed through the ordeal and were still alive returned to their several homes and vocations as “citizens,” with the feeling that each and all had done something to save and perpetuate a great and good nation; and so it came that in due time, and as it were by common consent, the mantle and title of “Veteran” slowly and surely fell upon all who had drawn a sword or shouldered a musket for our national existence. ________________________ (a) Excerpted from: Mottelay P.

Historians investigated women's roles in supporting the Revolution, in the political system of the new republic, and in their own "female subculture" where they had power in the home or church. This paper describes individual cases of late eighteenth-century New Jersey women who also do not fit into the established woman's role. I discovered and investigated strategies women used to exert power within their marriages and relationships. The result is a fresh image of early American women that highlights their clever resourcefulness, surprising abilities, and strong personalities.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
