  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom. As they developed their own neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves, some of the new arrivals took advantage of the stage to offer ethnic comedy, dance and song to their fellow group members as a much-needed escape from the hardships of daily life. Gradually, the immigrants adopted the characteristics and values of their new country instead, and their performances reflected this assimilation. “Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” —composer Jerome Kern My New York (excerpt) Every nation, it seems, Sailed across with their dreams To my New York.

  • The Bar of the City of New York
    YALE LAW JOURNAL VOL. VII MAY, 1898 No. 8 THE BAR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. The New York City Bar was a strong one even before the Revolution, but it was not until after the achievement of inde- -pendence that Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr became conspicuous in this island for their genius as advocates and their power and learning as lawyers. Both had been liberally edu- cated and both had been thoroughly grounded in the common law. Probably Hamilton had the wider and more comprehen- sive intellect; Burr the more perceptive and subtle. True it is. that they were pitted against each other in almost every great cause before the courts in the State of New York for many years after the evacuation of the city by the British armies. Hamilton, I have been told, was born in the West Indies. He came to America when quite a youth and became the mili- tary Secretary and Aid-de-camp of General Washington. It was while in attendance upon the "Father of his country" that he became acquainted with Miss Elizabeth Schuyler of Albany, the daughter of General Schuyler. Miss Schuyler became Mrs. General Hamilton. These two rivals-Hamilton and Burr-cordially hated each other and however exalted the character of Hamilton he was capable of the feeling of vindictiveness. It is claimed, and with some force of authority, that Hamilton had secretly slandered Burr in the columns of a Federalist newspaper for many years; that he had secretly, insidiously and yet effectively thwarted Burr's ambition, and when the secret was revealed that his sup- posed friend had been his concealed foe and had been more or less the architect of his political ruin, then, undoubtedly, rose in the soul of Burr a determination to destroy his adversary.
