    Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800

    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

Subsequent editions were issued as policies were updated. Eventually, the size of the Handbook grew so that it T was divided into three volumes. Volume I is Constitution and Bylaws and is issued annually after the Congress if changes to the Constitution and Bylaws are approved. Volume II is History, Organization and Protocol . Volume III is Insignia, Medals and Awards . This volume could not have been realized without the assistance of the NSSAR officers, committee chairmen, many devoted compatriots and the headquarters staff. Particular effort in the preparation of this volume was put forth by the Medals and Awards Committee under whose purview insignia, medals and awards fall. The contents of this Handbook have been reviewed by the NSSAR Executive Committee and are approved as official policy of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution.

Its purpose is to record my travels along the Way of the Short Staff. I have already prepared a fairly comprehensive and popular webpage on Staff Weapons. During 2009, this webpage will be researched and expanded so as to exclusively focus on my practice and knowledge of the Way of the Short Staff. By "short staff" I mean a straight wooden staff or cane from 30" to 50" long. I welcome suggestions, comments and information from readers about good resources, links, books, pamphlets, videos, DVDs, VCDs, schools, workshops, events, techniques, forms, etc.. Please send your email to Mike Garofalo. In 2009, I will be learning by studying, practicing, and documenting three different styles of the cane.
