WILLIAMS COLLEGE LIBRARIES Your Unpublished Thesis, Submitted WILLIAMS COLLEGE LIBRARIES Your unpublished thesis, submitted for a degree at Williams College and administered by the Williams College Libraries, will be made available for research use. You may, through this form, provide instructions regarding copyright, access, dissemination and reproduction of your thesis. _ The faculty advisor to the student writing the thesis wishes to claim joint authorship in this work. In each section, please check the ONE statement that reflects your wishes. I. PUBLICATION AND QUOTATION: LITERARY PROPERTY RIGHTS A student author automatically owns the copyright to hislher work, whether or not a copyright symbol and date are placed on the piece. The duration of U.S. copyright on a manuscript--and Williams theses are considered manuscripts--is the life of the author plus 70 years. _ I/we do not choose to retain literary property rights to the thesis, and I wish to assign them immediately to Williams College. Selecting this option will assign copyright to the College. This in no way precludes a student author from later publishing his/her work; the student would, however, need to contact the Archives for a permission form. The Archives would be free in this case to also grant permission to another researcher to publish smaIl sections from the thesis. Rarely would there be any reason for the Archives to grant permission to another party to publish the thesis in its entirely; if such a situation arose, the Archives would be in touch with the author to let them know that such a request had been made. _I/we wish to retain literary property rights to the thesis for a period of three years, at which time the literary property rights shall be assigned to Williams College. Selecting this option gives the author a few years to make exclusive use of the thesis in up-coming projects: articles, later research, etc. \/I/we wish to retain literary property rights to the thesis for a period of ~ years,ooffl" urrtit-rny--~~);, at which time the literary property rights shall be assigned to Williams College. Selecting this option allows the author great flexibility in extending or shortening the time of his/her automatic copyright period. Some students are interested in using their thesis in graduate school work. In this case, it would make sense for them to enter a number such as '10 years' in the blank, and line out the words 'or until my death, whichever is the later.' In any event, it is easier for the Archives to administer copyright on a manuscript if the period ends with the individual's death--our staff won't have to search for estate executors in this case--but this is entirely lip to each student. II. ACCESS The Williams College Libraries are investigating the posting of theses online, as well as their retention in hardcopy. J Williams College is granted permission to maintain and provide access to my thesis in hardcopy and via the Web both on and off campus. Selecting this option allows researchers around the world to access the digital version of your work. _ Williams College is granted permission to maintain and provide access to my thesis in hardcopy and via the Web for on-campus use only.

We were talking about Frank Furness, an architect of iron and stone. The art critic Lewis Mumford described him as "a horsy, flashy, tweedy sort of man." Furness had won the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Civil War, where he fought alongside some members of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, a volunteer cavalry troop and social organization founded in 1774 as the Philadelphia Light Horse. Our discussion eventually turned into this paper. I thank my advisor, Professor James Wood, for his patience and support as I found my way through this process. I thank John Tulp, whose teaching and friendship has meant more to me than he could know. I thank Joseph Seymour and Dennis Boylan, two members of the First City Troop who opened the group's private archives to my study and answered every question I had. Towards the end, I received some critical help from Dr. John Van Home, for which I am indebted. Finally, I thank my mom and dad, and my two grandfathers, who gave me an interest in history beyond watching the neon Liberty Bell swing over the bleachers of Veterans Stadium when a Phillies ballplayer hit a home­ run. lowe all of them a few bottles of Madeira-just the way the Troop would have thanked them.

Members of these societies, frustrated by their sense that the emerging Federalist executive branch of government was becoming dangerously elitist, and alienated by decision-making in Congress, met regularly to compose resolutions to publish in local and national papers and so make their concerns widely known. Many Federalists, in and out of government, became wary of these societies and their increased presence in the public sphere.

    PennsylvaniTHE a Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Philadelphia's Manufacturers and the Excise Taxes of 1794: The Forging of the Jeffersonian Coalition HE WHISKEY INSURRECTION in Pennsylvania is a familiar event. Supposedly, the insurrection, arising from opposition to Tthe federal excise tax, was centered in the four western counties. Individualism, frontier spirit and economic deprivation were the un- derlying causes for the uprising. The tax revolt is further regarded as an important chapter in the constitutional and economic history of the early republic. Other opponents of the excise in the other sections of the United States—Kentucky, western Virginia, Carolina back country and Georgia—are depicted in the same agrarian mold.1 Historians *This article was presented in a somewhat abbreviated form at the forty-ninth meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association held at Wilkes-Barre on October 17-18, 1980. The author wishes to thank Steven R. Boyd and Alfred F. Young for their helpful suggestions. 1 For a comprehensive study of the rebellion in Pennsylvania see Leland D. Baldwin Whiskey Rebels, The Story of a Frontier Uprising (Pittsburgh, 1939). Jacob E. Cooke, "The Whiskey Insurrection: A Re-Evaluation," Pennsylvania History, XXX (July, 1963), 316-346, is still the best summary of what has been written on the subject. Forrest McDonald, Alexander Hamilton, A Biography (New York, 1979), 255-256, 297-303, restates the traditional view of the event. 4 ROLAND M. BAUMANN January have left the impression that the farmers of rural America were the only interest group to face economic hardship when the national government sought to develop revenues by the imposition of excise taxes in 1791 and 1794.

  • POPULAR CONSTITUTIONALISM in PHILADELPHIA: How Freedom of the Press Was Won
    POPULAR CONSTITUTIONALISM IN PHILADELPHIA: How Freedom of the Press Was Won By Jeffrey L. Pasley University of Missouri [The following is a longer version of my heavily illustrated article that was published, with a slightly different subtitle, in Pennsylvania Legacies, Volume 8, Number 1, May 2008. This present document was posted to the Internet on June 22, 2008. It may be linked to, but please do not quote or cite it without permission of the author.] In the early days of the American republic, the Constitution was a do-it-yourself project. Though Americans had pioneered the idea of writing down the fundamental rules of their governments and treating these documents as a form of law, almost no one thought courts were or should be the sole means of enforcing those rules, as is the case in the 21st century. Following British constitutional tradition and their own instincts, early Americans believed that keeping government within its constitutional limits was a duty that fell ultimately upon the people themselves. The people elected officials to various branches and levels of government. If the competition among these different representatives and institutions could not check violations of the Constitution, or if the representatives proved unfaithful, it was up to the people to defend their own rights with their votes, their voices, and their bodies if necessary. Thus the early battles for freedom of speech and especially the press were not achieved by lawyers winning verdicts that affirmed certain legal doctrines in court trials. Instead, these battles were won through the concrete actions of real people, many of the most important of them on the streets of Philadelphia.

  • The Early Life of Dr. Elisha Kent Kane Mark Metzler Sawin, Ph.D
    Mark Metzler Sawin RAISING KANE 1: Heroic Ambition Heroic Ambition: The early life of Dr. Elisha Kent Kane Mark Metzler Sawin, Ph.D. CONTACT INFORMATION Mark Metzler Sawin Assistant Professor of History Eastern Mennonite University 1200 Park Rd. Harrisonburg, VA 22802-2462 (540) 432-4468 (540) 432-4488 (fax) (540) 574-4414 (home) [email protected] Though forgotten today, arguably the most celebrated hero of “Romantic” antebellum America was the sickly physician turned explorer, Dr. Elisha Kent Kane. At the time of his early death in 1857, Kane was one of the most celebrated men in America. During his short thirty-seven years of life, this surgeon from an aristocratic Philadelphia family accomplished more than most adventurers who lived to twice his age. Between 1843 and 1855 he traveled through China, East Asia, South America, India, Europe and Africa. He fought in the Mexican American war, made two highly-celebrated journeys to the Arctic, carried on a love affair with spirit-rapper Margaret Fox, and wrote one of the most successful books of the antebellum period. Most impressively, he became such a popular figure that when he died, the nation mourned his death for nearly a month as his casket wound from Havana to Philadelphia via steamboat and rail in a funeral procession that, to date, is still matched only by Abraham Lincoln’s. Because he participated in so many activities in such a short period of time, Elisha Kent Kane’s life provides a unique insight into antebellum America. His explorations exemplify the Romantic spirit that inspired the young nation at this time; his writing and publication efforts illuminate elements of mid-century authorship and book production; his relationship with Margaret Fox exposes aspects of antebellum religion and class relations; and the many performances, books, images, and pieces of ephemera celebrating his life provide a way to examine America’s emerging culture of consumption.
