  • Of Iron and Ozone: the History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012
    Of Iron and Ozone: The History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012 Marsha Ann Tate is Instructor of Communication at Juniata College. n the decades following the U.S. Civil War, a group of industrialists from Huntingdon County, I Pennsylvania, and its environs played a central role in transforming Cobourg, Ontario, a community nestled on Lake Ontario’s northern shore, into a renowned North American resort. Cobourg’s historical importance, however, is not only owed to the number of summer vacationers it attracted from throughout the United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s, but also to their unique character. For example, counted among Cobourg’s seasonal residents were, among others: (a) the wives of Ulysses S. Grant and Jefferson Davis; (b) countless veterans of the Union and Confederate Armies; (c) high-ranking federal and state government officials, including cabinet officers, U.S. Senators, and Supreme Court Justices; (d) wealthy businesspeople; (e) actors and musicians; as well as (f) working-class families. Based upon a decade-long research project, “Of Iron and Ozone” traces the development of Cobourg as a resort community, with an emphasis upon the multifaceted socioeconomic relationships that evolved among the varied individuals who summered there. SETTING THE STAGE Cobourg, located on Lake Ontario’s northern shore across from Rochester, New York, possesses unpretentious beginnings. Although naturally endowed with moderate summer temperatures, refreshing

NATIONALIZING THE DEAD: THE CONTESTED MAKING OF AN AMERICAN COMMEMORATIVE TRADITION FROM THE CIVIL WAR TO THE TO THE GREAT WAR by SHANNON T. BONTRAGER Under the Direction of Dr. Ian Christopher Fletcher ABSTRACT In recent years, scholars have emphasized the importance of collective memory in the making of national identity. Where does death fit into the collective memory of American identity, particularly in the economic and social chaos of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? How did death shape the collective memory of American national identity in the midst of a pluralism brought on by immigration, civil and labor rights, and a transforming culture? On the one hand, the commemorations of public figures such as Ulysses S. Grant, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt constructed an identity based on Anglo-Saxonism, American imperialism, and the ―Strenuous Life.‖ This was reflected in the burial of American soldiers of the Spanish American and Philippine American wars and the First World War.

    COMING IN AUGUST New Issue of White House History Quarterly Featuring “White House Weddings” July 16, 219 (Washington, D.C.) –The White House Historical Association will release a new edition of its White House History Quarterly next month, this one focusing on “White House Weddings.” The 54th issue includes a story of rediscovered White House relics that were used at the 1875 wedding of President Grant’s daughter and features images of wedding cake slices that were given to guests at White House weddings, including that of President Grover Cleveland’s 1886 wedding – the cake remains preserved in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. This edition also includes interviews with Lynda and Chuck Robb about their East Room wedding and an article from Selwa (Lucky) Roosevelt describing the 1906 wedding of Alice Roosevelt, among other highlights. Articles included in this edition of White House History Quarterly: • "Nellie Grant Marries in the East Room: Rediscovered Relics of a White House Wedding" Author William Adair presents the story of elaborate architectural features installed by President Ulysses S. Grant to embellish the East Room for his daughter's 1875 wedding. Removed during the 20th century, the relics were recently rediscovered by the author who shares the story of their journey from White House to auction house. • "What Flavor is the Cake? White House Weddings and the Public's Curiosity" Author Bethanie Bemis examines how traditions for releasing wedding details to the public have evolved and been covered by the media. Bemis shares images of wedding cakes dating back to that of Grover Cleveland and Francis Folsom’s 1886 ceremony, wedding invitations and cake recipes released to the press for the weddings of Luci and Lynda Johnson and Patricia Nixon.
