The undertaking of preparing a historj of the Congrega- tional churches of Vermont was first seriously proposed by Rev. Pliny H. White, who had unusual gifts for historical re- search. He had collected much [material, when his early and lamented death in 186!) put an end to his researches. Rev. Azel W. Wild succeeded to the results of Ins labors, and gathered in addition a vast amount of data about the early historj of Congregationalism in the state. His design to publish a volume on the subject was approved by the state Convention, and sample pages ami a prospectus were put in print: but greatly to Me. Wild's disappointment, the work was of such size as not to he readily salable, and he reluctantly abandoned the project. II is manuscript, which contains a history of each church down to 1830 and biographies of pastors and native ministers to the same date, has been deposited in the Congregational Library in Boston. The present writer, who succeeded Mr. Wild in the position of corresponding secretary of the state body, is deeply in- debted to his predecessor for his courtesy in permitting the use of his manuscript, as well as of his valuable collection of material covering the more recenl years. il<- has prepared this volume in the belief that a work of less ambitious scope and smaller compass would he welcomed by Congregationalists of his native state. Its historical outline professes to lie hut a brief summary. The statistics form the major part of the work, and have been prepared with much care, having always as their substantial basis the earlier work of Mr. White and especially the invaluable collection of Mr. Wild. Errors and omissions will be found, as the writer is painfully aware. Some of these could perhaps have been rectified by further investigation, but it has not seemed best to delay publi- cation longer. 6 Vermont Congregationalism. It should be needless to say that this little volume does not profess to be a history of organized Christianity in Vermont, and makes no mention of the other denominations which have had a large and worthy part in the religious life of the people. Its only aim is to cover the outlines of the work of that denomina- tion which was the first of Protestants in the field and has al- ways maintained the first place in number of churches and of communicants. John M. Comstock. Chelsea, Vt., July 1, 1914. THE BEGINNINGS. For the beginnings of Congregationalism in Vermont we go back to the first coming of English-speaking white settlers, or even earlier. The first Protestant* religious service in Vermont was undoubtedly held in the town of Rockingham in March, 1704. Rev. John Williams, pastor of the church in Deerfield, Mass., during a Sunday halt in the mournful march toward Canada of the captives taken at the famous raid upon Deer- field preached a sermon to the remnants of his congregation on the bank of the stream which now bears his name. The first independent English settlement in the state was at Fort Dum- mer, now Brattleboro, in 1724. By 172S a chaplain was in regu- lar appointment at the fort, and so for a long time thereafter. The chaplain was a Congregationalist, and there should natur- ally have been a church organized at Brattleboro earlier than elsewhere. Just why this was not done is not quite plain. The organization there, as will be seen, was not effected till many years later. The rapid settlement of Vermont did not begin until the close of the French and Indian War, when the region first ceased to be in constant danger from Indian attack. Settlers now came in rapidly from the longer settled parts of New England. These were nearly all of Puritan stock, and so naturally Congre- gationalists. The first of the new settlements was at Benning- ton, and there the first church of our order and the first Protestant church in the state was organized in 1762, the next year after the beginning of the town. The formation of this church calls for special notice. It was constituted by formal union of churches in Hardwick and Sunderland. Mass., whose members had emigrated in a body, joined presently by a church in Westfield, Mass., whose pastor Roman Catholicism temporarily preceded Protestantism in the state. At Fort St. Anne, in Tsle la Motte. mass was resrularly said as early as 1664 or '6. Jesuit priests were also active among- the Indians along- Lake Champlain soon after this date, and built a little church edifice at Swanton probablv in 1700. 8 Vermont Congregationalism. became pastor of the Bennington church, and by a part of a church at Newent (then in Norwich, but now in Lisbon), Conn. These were all "separate" churches, not in fellowship with "regular" Congregational churches. The widespread "separ- ate"* movement in Massachusetts and Connecticut had its ori- gin in a protest against the "halfway covenant" and formalism, and in insistence upon vital religion in the pulpit and in the membership of the churches,—these being stimulated by the "Great Awakening" which attended the preaching of White- lield and his associates. It was attended by many excesses and follies, but on the whole wrought a good work. The church of Bennington, t then, was irregular in its formation, as indeed in various ways were several other of the earlier churches. The course of immigration followed two parallel lines on the western and eastern sides of the state. The next church organ- ized in 1764 was well up the Connecticut valley, at Newbury, joined with Haverhill, N. H. Next follow Westminster, 1767; Windsor (joined with Cornish, N. H.), 1768; Guilford, J 1767 or '8; Brattleboro (now West Brattleboro), about 1770; Nor- wich, North church, 1770; First church in Hartford (Presby- terian but afterwards becoming Congregational,—the "Dothan" church), 1771; Thetford, 1773; Rutland (now West Rutland), 1773; Rockingham and Chester,§ 1773; Newfane, 1774; Weath- ersfield, First church, 1775; Putney, 1776; Marlboro, 1776; Royalton, 1777; Townshend, 1777; Halifax, 1778; West Wind- *The most authoritative account of this movement may be found in "The Separates, or Strict Congregationalists of New England," by Rev. S. Leroy Blake, a native Vermonter, born in Cornwall, published by the Pilgrim Press. The theory that immigration to Vermont was largely stimulated by persecution of the Separatists on the part of the "Standing Order" in Mass. and Conn, has been disproved by Prof. J. B. Goodrich. See The Vermont Review for January, 1:307. fThe story goes that growth of Congregationalism at Bennington was stimulated by the policy of Samuel Robinson, leader of the Ben- nington settlers, who inquired into the religious preferences of new- comers, inviting Congregationalists to remain in Bennington, but di- recting Baptists to Shaftsbury and Episcopalians to Arlington, while those of no preference were turned toward Pownal. It is certainly true that the first Baptist church in the state was organized in Shafts- bury, which town has remained loyal to that denomination, and the first Episcopal service was held at Arlington, while Pownal has never been a stronghold of any branch of the church. JThis town, most populous in the state in the censuses of 1791 and 1800, lias suffered more from emigration than any other. §The two towns combined in one organization. Upon their separa- tion in 1778 each church retained the original date of organization. Vermont Congregationalism. 9 sor, 1778; Dummerston, 177!*: Iiartland, 1779. Of these 21 churches formed before 1780, only two are west of the moun- tains. The period of beginnings may be considered somewhat arbi- trarily to end with the elose of the 18th century. Before the be- ginning of 1801, 76 more Congregational churches were organized, making in all 97; but three of these had become extinct, so thai the new century was begun with 94 churches. Nearly all these were in the southern half of the state, where most of the earlier settlements naturally lay. At Bennington and Newbury, as we have seen, the church began with the town, the sentiment of the early settlers being predominantly religious.

    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry.

JUSTICE WILLIAM CUSHING AND THE TREATY-MAKING POWER F. WILLIAM O'BRIEN, S.J.* Washington's First Appointees Although the work of the Supreme Court during the first few years was not great if measured in the number of cases handled, it would be a mistake to conclude that the six men who sat on the Bench during this formative period made no significant contribution to the develop- ment of American constitutional law. The Justices had few if any precedents to use as guides, and therefore their judicial work, limited though it was in volume, must be considered as stamped with the significance which attaches to all pioneer activity. Moreover, most of this work was done while on circuit duty in the different districts, and therefore from Vermont to Georgia the Supreme Court Justices were emissaries of good will for the new Constitution and the recently established general government.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

SEYMOUR BASSETT Cornelius Peter Van Ness was a colorful and vigorous leader in a formative period of Vermont history, hut he has remained in the dusk of that history. In this paper Mr. Bassett has sought to recall __ mm and IUs activities and through him throw definite light on h4s ---------­ eventfultime.l.- -In--this--study Van--N-esr--ir-brought;-w--rlre-dt:a.mot~ months of his attempt in the senatorial election of I826 to succeed Horatio Seymour. 'Ulhen Mr. Bassett has completed his research into thot phase of the career of Van Ness, we hope to present the re­ sults in another paper. Further comment will he found in the Post­ script. Editor. NDIVIDUALISM is the boasted virtue of Vermonters. If they I are right in their boast, biographies of typical Vermonters should re­ veal what individualism has produced. Governor Van Ness was a typical Vermonter of the late nineteenth century, but out of harmony with the Vermont spirit of his day. This essay sketches his meteoric career in administrative, legislative and judicial office, and his control of Vermont federal and state patronage for a decade up to the turning point of his career, the senatorial campaign of 1826.1 His family had come to N ew York in the seventeenth century. 2 His father was by trade a wheelwright, strong-willed, with little book-learning. A Revolutionary colonel and a county judge, his purchase of Lindenwald, an estate at Kinderhook, twenty miles down the Hudson from Albany, marked his social and pecuniary success.s Cornelius was born at Lindenwald on January 26, 1782.
