Digitized by Microsoft® Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE Diary THE of Cotton Mather is of value as the record of a man of peculiar attainments, as a bibliog- raphy of a very prolific compiler and publisher, and, most of all, as an important contribution to the history of the Congregational Church in Massachusetts. For he was only a tjrpe, one of many, made prominent by the large number of his printed writings, some of which have served to keep him in the public eye even to this day. The existence of this record, scattered in three different collections, has long been known, and much inquiry has arisen about its contents. Mr. Wendell used a part in his scholarly biography of Cotton Mather,' and extracts have appeared in many places; but no year's record has ever been transcribed or printed. In April, 1908, Mr. Henry H. Edes proposed to the Council of the American Antiquarian Society to confer with the Coimcil of this Society "with a view of securing the proper editing and publication of all the manuscript diaries of Increase Mather and Cotton Mather. "^ In February, 1909, the Massachusetts Historical Society appointed a commit- tee to publish the diaries in cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society, and invited the latter Society to aid. Circumstanced as it was, the Antiquarian Society could •not take an active part in the editing and publication, but freely offered such material as it had, and named a committee of conference composed of Andrew McFarland Davis, George Parker Winship, and Clarence Saunders Brigham.' ' Cotton Mather, the Puritan Priest.

    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.

The American West: From Frontier to Region MARTIN RIDGE We are fast approaching the centennial of the Bureau of the Census' 1890 declaration of the closing of the frontier. It would seem appro­ priate to mark that centennial by asking why and how American his­ torians became interested in the history of the American frontier, and why and how, in recent years, there has been increasing attention paid to the West as a region. And why studying the West as a region poses special problems. The history of the frontier and the regional West are not the same, but there is a significant intellectual overlay that warrants examination. A little more than a century ago the scholarly discipline of Amer­ ican history was in its formative stages. The tradition of gifted au­ thors-men like Francis Parkman, Brooks Adams, Theodore Roosevelt, Martin Ridge, Senior Research Associate and Director of Research at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, and professor of history at the California Institute of Technology, served as editor of the Journal of American History for eleven years.

    VolumeXXIv] [Number 3 ~tntritau~i~tgtital Ituitur THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, I9I9 EMBERS of the American Historical Association expect to M find at the beginning of the April number of this journal an account of the transactions of the annual meeting of the Associa­ tion, customarily held in the last days of December preceding, and with it certain items of formal matter relating to the meeting, such as the text of important votes passed by the Association or the Executive Council, a summary of the treasur~r's report, an exhibit of the budget or estimated receipts and expenditures or appropria­ tions, and a list of the officers of the Association and of the various committees appointed by the Executive Council. The thirty-fourth annual meeting, which was to have taken place at Cleveland on December 27 and 28, was indefinitely postponed on' account of a strong recommendation, received from the health officer of that city a few days before the date on which the meeting should have taken place, that it should be omitted because of the epidemic of influenza then prevailing in Cleveland. Yet, though there is no annual meeting to chronicle in these pages, it will be convenient to members that the formal matter spoken of above should be found in its customary place. Moreover, though no meeting of the Asso­ ciation has taken place, there was a meeting of the Executive Council held in New York on January 31 and February I, 1919, some of the transactions of which, analogous to those of the Asso­ ciation in its annual business meeting, may here for convenience be described.

To mark this historic occasion, and to showcase the nation’s tremendous industrial progress, the city of Chicago hosted the World’s Colum- bian Exposition. Chicago won the honor after competing with other major U.S. cities, including New York. Owing to delays, the opening of the exposition was pushed back to 1893. This grand event was ideally timed to provide the coun- try’s nascent historical profession with the opportunity to demonstrate its value to the world. The American Historical Association (AHA) was founded only a few years prior in 1884, and incorporated by the U.S.

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE CIVIL WAR By Eleanor Rigney Submitted as an Honors Paper in the Department of History THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA 1950 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE CIVIL WAR TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 1 - ■ Chapter I. AMERICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY SINCE 1865 5 II. CHANGES IN INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR 28 III. CHANGES IN INTERPRETATIONS OF CONDITIONS DURING THE COURSE OF THE WAR 52 IV. EFFECTS OF HISTORICAL REVISION ON TEXTBOOKS. 67 BIBLIOGRAPHY 78 Of all the events in American life, none seems to have stimulated the production of a greater bulk of literature, historical or otherwise, than the Civil War. Aside from the inspiration afforded by the rather dramatic quality of the war itself, probably no other episode in American history has aroused such widespread partisan feeling or so strong a disposition to apportion blame, to excuse, vindioate, or explain, publicly, the causes and events of the conflict. Consequently, in the years immediately following the war, many participants, both actual and vicarious, kept an interested public supplied with a quantity of literature that was usually either panegyrical or polemical in tone. As a result, a "correct" Northern and an equally "correct" Southern interpretation was developed rapidly; and before long, general opinion in both sections, supported by common memories and prejudices, was crystallized into an almost impervious tradition. Time itself has tended to make brittle these accumulated myths and legends. Furthermore, new sources of information have been exploited, new generations of writers have matured, and new points of view on the subject of history itself — its proper content, uses, and methods — have been developed and have operated to erode the surface of the older beliefs and assumptions.

URL: http://www.h-net.org/~diplo/essays/PDF/Keylor-Young.pdf Reviewed for H-Diplo by William R. Keylor, Boston University ver the past several decades two genres of historical writing have been relegated to O the margins of the discipline by the powers-that-be in the profession. The first is biography, dismissed by many as an obsolete relic of an earlier era of historical scholarship when the personal story of an individual was considered a useful means of comprehending the past. The second is diplomatic history, in the narrowest sense of that term, which addresses the thoughts and activities of a government’s official representatives abroad. Robert Young, the author of earlier studies of French foreign and defense policies, has unapologetically chosen to buck this trend. He takes as the subject of his latest book the life and career of Jean-Jules Jusserand, a diplomat who represented France in the United States from 1904 to 1925. Apart from specialists in the history of Franco-American relations during this period, it is unlikely that many historians have even heard of Jusserand, or that those who recognize the name have more than a vague knowledge of his role in representing French interests in 1 | P a g e H-Diplo Review Essay Washington.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.
