(63)-&59) Introduction In 1938-1939 the writer, while stationed at Vicksburg National Military Park, Vicksburg, 'hEssissippi, spent approximately a year in research on the Battle of New Orleans preparatory to the development of Chalmette National Historical Park, Louisiana. On the basis of this experience Superintendent Russell Gibbs requested through the Region One office that the writer be detailed on a special assignment to Chalmette on a reimbursement basis for the period January 13 - February 22, 1951 for the purpose of: 1. Evaluating and recommending revisions of the present marker system of the park. 2. Conducting research on the Rene Beauregard House for information which muld assist in a re- habilitation of the building for rnuseum and administrative use. 3. Gathering such information as might prove helpful in the writing of a @-page handbook for the area. It was appreciated by Superintendent Gibbs and Regional Historian Appleman that any one of these three subjects might easily employ the full time of the writer. In view of this it was suggested that the chief efforts ofthe historian be directed to the first two. It was generally understood that the work schedule should be so arranged as to permit the final preparation of the report prior to the conclusion of the assignment. However this proved impossible due to the absence of any typist assistance at the park and to unavoidable LIBRAWI CU~IURIIRESOURCE CmlfR NAl UNAC ?AH& SERVla delays encountered in completing special phases of the research such 1. The microfilming of the significant portion of the autobiography of James Gallier by the Howard-Tilton Library, Tulane University, New Orleans, Ia. 2. The photostating of certain documents by the National Archives, New Orleans, La. 3. The photostating of other documents by the Nati-om1 Archives, Washington, D. C. (received May 4). 4. The search of the Beauregard Papers conducted by the staff of Dr. V. L. Bedsole, Head Department-of Archives, Loufsiana State University, Baton Rouge, La. (Completed Aprfl 10.) 5. The examination of the Lossing Papers in the Benson Collection of the Detroit Public Library, Detroit, Mieh. 6. The securing of positive copies of microfilm of abstracts of title of property in and adjacent to the park prepared by the Southern Railroad Company. phis was done by Hall in Richmond, Vir through the cooperation of Region One.f"' The progress of the research was materially assisted by the generous cooperation of old friends and new acquaintances, notable among whom may be listed the following: Mr. Edward Alexander Parsons Prominent attorney of New Orleans, Mr. Parsons owns what is reputed to be one of the four largest private libraries in the United States - 45,000 volumes, many of which are first editions, and 8,000 manu- scripts. His collection of documents relative to the purchase of Louisiana, the Battle of New Orleans, and other phases of early Louisiana history is in- valuable. He has been unfailing in the encouragement and generous support he has given the writer both in early and late research on the area, It was at his invitation last year that the writer addressed the Chalmette National Historical Park Association in New Orleans. It was at his invitation this year that the writer addressed the Louisiana Histori- cal society on ItThe Battle of New Orleans in the Light of Newly Discovered Evidence,f1 (See Appendix - Public Relat&ons. ) It was through the cooperation of Mr. Parsons that the writer secured a photostatic copy of aletter of Jackson to Morgan written on the field of battle, dated January 8, 1815, (See Appendix - Miscellaneous, ) James J. A. Fortier - Mr. Fortier as Assistant Archivist of the Louisiana State Historical Library has offered generous co- operation and valuable assistance in research. Mr. Fortier is a member of a distinguished Louisiana family with a wide circle of acquaintances who were in a position to further the research, It was through Mr. Fortier's invitation that the writer was guest speaker before the Academy of American History, an up and coming historical society. (See Appendix - Public Relations. ) Mr. Sam Wilson Mr. Wilson is now associated with the architectural firm of Richard Koc~, Mr. Wilson is generally recog- nized as probably the foremost historical architect in New Orleans, Since 1934 he has shown increasing interest in studying and preserving important historical land- marks in and about New Orleans, He is now serving as President of the Louisiana Landmarks Society, an active organization in the preservatAon field. In 1935 Mr. Wilson assisted in the preparation of the HABS drawings of the Rene Beauregard House and has conducted further research on the house since that time. His generous cooperation proved of inval- uable assistance to the writer. He very singly made available to the writer such information as he had on file relative to the house. Mr. Wilson has conducted an intensive study of the De La Ronde House which he plans to make available to the National Park Service. He was the first to identify a contemporary photograph of the house, a copy of which is attached to this report. Mr. Wilson has recently edited Latirobe's Diaries and submitted it for publication, probably in the fall under the title "Impressions Respecting New Orleansf'. Latrobe visited the battlefield of New Orleans in 1820 and made a number of sketches of historical interest including the work on the bas- tion on the right of Jackson's line near the river. (See Gallier mibition Catalogue 1950 compiled by Mr. Wilson - Part III, Beauregard House - Photographs and Documents. ) Dr. V. I,. Bedsole While on a trip to Baton Rouge the writer had the pleasure of meeting Dr. V, L, Bedsole, Head Depart ment of Archives, Louisiana State University, Time did not permit the examination of The Pierre G. T. Beaure ard and Fanil Papers by the writer. Eow= +Bxe odrggenerously pffered the ser- vices of his staff to examine them for us. On April 10, it was learned that the examination had been completed without fruitful results. Dr. Garland Taylor Dr. Taylor is Director of Libraries of Tulane Univer- sity. It was through his courtesy that the writer was permitted to examine the two separate collections of manuscripts of the Gallier Collection. He also supervised for the writer the microfilming of the desired portion of Gallierrs Autobiography. He also arranged for the photographing of Laclotte's sketch of the battle of New Orleans. Miss Renshaw The writer first had the pleasure of meeting Miss Renshaw when in 1938 he first began his researches on the Battle of New Orleans. At that time she was Assistant Librarian in the Howard Memorial Library. Since then the Howard and Tilton Libraries have combined and she is serving as assistant to Dr. Taylor. Her thorough knowledge of the library almost removes the necessity of a card catalogue. Mr. Claude C. De Bruyes Mr. De Bruyes, of distinguished Louisiana ancestry on one side of his house, is a descendant of the pirate Beluche on the other. For years he was em- ployed as a photographer for the Cabildo Museum. It was through his cooperation that the writer secured the recent photographs of the exterior and interior of the Beauregard -House. Mr. Dan Leyrer It was through the cooperation of Mr. Dan Leyer that a number of the best photographs of the Beauregard House was obtained. He also furnished us with a copy of the De La Ronde Mouse, the McCarthy House, and the blown up section of the Zimpells map. Dr. George Raffalovich Dr. Raffalovich well deserves the term "gentleman scholar. Formerly a Professor of Dartmouth University, he served for a number of years after lVorldVJar I as foreign correspondent in Italy. Later he returned to this country, taught a while in Georgia and then set- tled in New Orleans. While in Georgia he met Margaret Mitchell and did free lanck research for her. With his ready command of French Dr. Raffalovich was ever willing to assist the writer in the trans- lation of any significant or difficult document in French, whether it was at St.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. 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 material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations 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 through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the Him inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin Hlming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    III. BARRIERS TO ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE MEDIEVAL ECONOMY: B. Medieval Manorialism and Peasant Serfdom: the Agricultural Foundations of Medieval Feudalism revised 21 October 2013 Manorialism: definitions • (1) a system of dependent peasant cultivation, • in which a community of peasants, ranging from servile to free, received their lands or holdings from a landlord • - usually a feudal, military lord • (2) the peasants: worked those lands at least in part for the lord’s economic benefit • - in return for both economic and military security in holding their tenancy lands from that military lord. Medieval Manorialism Key Features • (1) European manorialism --- also known as seigniorialism [seignior, seigneur = lord] both predated and outlived feudalism: predominant agrarian socio-economic institution from 4th-18th century • (2) Medieval manorialism: links to Feudalism • The manor was generally a feudal fief • i.e., a landed estate held by a military lord in payment and reward for military services • Feudal fiefs were often collections of manors, • servile peasants provided most of labour force in most northern medieval manors (before 14th century) THE FEUDAL LORD OF THE MANOR • (1) The Feudal Lord of the Manor: almost always possessed judicial powers • secular lord: usually a feudal knight (or superior lord: i.e., count or early, duke, etc.); • ecclesiastical lord: a bishop (cathedral); abbot (monastery); an abbess (nunnery) • (2) Subsequent Changes: 15th – 18th centuries • Many manors, in western Europe, passed into the hands of non-feudal

  • The Russian Nobility on the Eve Of
    The RussianNobility on the Eve of the 1905 Revolution* By G. M. HAMBURG In the midst of the revolutionaryupheaval in seventeenth-century England James Harrington,a historian and pioneer social scientist, wrote: "A monarchydivested of its nobility has no refuge under heaven but an army. Whereforethe dissolutionof this governmentcaused the [Civil] war, not the war the dissolutionof this government."'It was not unnaturalfor Harringtonto attributecapital importance to the disaffec- tion of much of the English elite as a cause of the Civil War. Born in 1611,he had witnessedthe disputesbetween factionsof the ruling elite- especiallybetween the centralgovernment and local notables-and had watched political conflicts and religious disagreementsundermine the old politicalorder in England.2 Harrington'sdictum may be applied to other monarchicalEuropean states before the end of teir old regimes. Norman Hampson has ob- served that "the main political conflict in eighteenth-centuryFrance was . the struggle of the aristocracy against the declining power of royal absolutism."'Virtually all of the modern historiansof the French revolutionagree that what AlbertSoboul called the "revoltof the aristo- cracy"between 1787 and 1789 contributedto the destabilizationof the monarchicalsystem.4 It was aristocraticopposition to royal taxationthat * This paper was prepared for a session of the Southern Historical Association, 10 November 1977.
