He is most widely rememberedtoday as the inventor of the Ames Demonstrations in Perception, the most famous of which consists of a distortedroom in whichpeople seem to shrink as they walk from one corner to another. This essay discusses the relationship of the Ames Demonstrations to anamorphicvisual art, and it documents various comments by perceptual psychologists and artists who were directly acquaintedwith Ames.

It has been difficult to obtain reliable infor- mation concerning this tribe, since for most of its acts we can assign no definite reason, and, therefore, cannot trace the underlying conditions leading to these acts. We gather, however, that they were (with a few exceptions) a gentle and peaceful people, whose habits were harmless but amusing. They are, however, well worthy of study on account of their quaint and curious customs, quite different from the customs of any other tribe whose history we have studied. For convenience, we have divided these manuscripts into four periods, known in the language of the tribe as, respec- tively, freshmanyear, sophomoreyear, junioryear, and senior- year — thus taking the tribe from the time of its earliest formation to the time of its fullest development. The followdng lists were discovered in Thf Office, a mysterious retreat inhabited by one of | the deities of the tribe, and consequently held in great awe, especially by the younger members. -
This Week in Saratoga County History
This Week in Saratoga County History - The Death of John Morrissey Submitted by Charlie Kuenzel May 7, 2020 Charlie Kuenzel taught at Saratoga High School for 36 years and was co-owner of Saratoga Tours LLC for 19 years. Author, lecturer and currently President of Saratoga Springs History Museum, Charlie loves Saratoga History and can be reached at [email protected] During the 1800’s, Saratoga Springs became the number one tourist destination for summer visitors in the United States. Although the reputation of Saratoga Springs was originally built on health practices using the many mineral springs, it was further enhanced with the addition of thoroughbred horse racing and casino gambling. The one single person responsible for the introduction of those new activities was John Morrissey. May 1st each year is the anniversary of his death in Saratoga history. Morrissey was born in Ireland in 1831 and at about age 2 the family moved to Troy N.Y. Morrissey went to work at the age of 12, being employed at many factories. At 17 he started working on a steamship that made daily runs from Albany to New York City and married the ship captain’s daughter, Sarah Smith in 1849. Together they had one child, a son. The 1849 California Gold Rush lured him to San Francisco in 1851 were he never made any money as a prospector but became a very successful gambler. In 1852 he tried testing his boxing skills and defeated George Thompson in California for a $5,000 prize. Morrissey then returned to New York to schedule a fight with Yankee Sullivan and at one time was World Heavyweight Champ. -

Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................... -
