Pragmatic Patriot: Review Of The Papers Of Robert Morris, Volume 9: January 1-October 30, 1784. Elizabeth M. Nuxoll And Mary A. Gallagher, Eds.; Nelson S. Dearmont, Associate Editor; Kathleen H. Mullen, Assistant Editor; Clarence L. Ver Steeg, Editorial Advisor; E. James Ferguson, Editor Emeritus., Dorothy Twohig

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The preceding eight volumes covered Morris's career as the country's "Financier" -in fact the actual prime minister of the early Confederation-through his official diaries, letter books, and ancillary correspondence. Morris went into office with an ambitious agenda, and the earlier volumes amply chronicle his attempts to put his plans into effect. Believing that few citizens are disinterested patriots, Morris thought, as Hamilton did, that the best way to attach them to the new government was through self-interest. For this, public confidence in the government, especially in its fiscal aspects, was essential, and retiring the Revolutionary War debt and establishing a …

Sa1mon P. Chase And Reconstruction: Review Of The Salmon P. Chase Papers, Volume 5: Correspondence, 1865-1873. Edited By John Niven, James P. Mcclure, Leigh Johnson, Holly Byers Ochoa, And Kathleen Norman., Jeffrey M. Flannery

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Tumultuous and momentous events occurred in the United States between 1865 and 1873. Dominating the political arena was the end of the nation's bloody civil war and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, followed by the struggle over Reconstruction and the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. In the middle of this ferment stirred the impressive figure of Salmon P. Chase, who served as chief justice of the Supreme Court from 1864 to 1873.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The following recently discovered document sheds important light not only on the underlying causes of the American Revolution but also on the relatively unexplored, but nonetheless vital, history of grant making. The document is what is called in grants biz a "questions letter," one of the many ways in which grants analysts attempt to help applicants.

War Stories: Review Of Home Front Soldier: The Story Of A Gi And His Italian American Family During World War Ii. Richard Aquila, Ed., Michael E. Stevens

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

One of the joys of documentary editing is the opportunity to watch stories unfold in the documents. Thus, it is not surprising to see academic and trade presses publishing works aimed at a popular audience that rely heavily on historical texts. In the past several decades, documentary editors have done a remarkable job in creating standards, although most of their energies have focused on scholarly editions. Those efforts have been less successful in reaching those who prepare popular editions. Home Front Soldier is a good example of a work that effectively uses documents to tell a story, yet has not …

Now He Belongs To The Sages: Lincoln And The Academy, Cullom Davis

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

It is more appropriate to discuss a subject that I have explored and experienced intensively in recent years, that is of some broad cultural interest, and that may offer moments of light entertainment following a heavy meal. My remarks are entitled, "Now He Belongs to the Sages," but could also be "Living with Lincoln."

The Correspondence Of Benjamin Frankiin And His Grandson B. F. Bache, Karen C. Duval

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

When Benjamin Franklin left Philadelphia for France in October 1776, he took along his sixteen-year-old grandson, William Temple Franklin, who would remain in Paris, serving as his secretary, for the entire eight-and-a-half-year mission. Also in tow was another grandson and Temple's cousin, Benjamin Franklin Bache. Benny, as he was usually called, was born in August 1769. No letters survive to indicate why Benny, who had just turned seven, was being sent abroad. His departure, following the death of his sister Sarah at eight and a half months, must have been an emotional one. But high aspirations for the young boy's …

Adolescent Journals Of Caroline Healey Dall, Helen R. Deese

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Caroline Healey Dall(1822-1912), Boston born reformer, lecturer, author of books, freelance journalist, memoirist, and occasional preacher, began her apprenticeship as a writer at the age of nine with the keeping of a journal. While still a child, however, she destroyed her earliest journal when she discovered her father reading it. For some time thereafter, she ceased her journal keeping. But soon finding herself unable to quell the need to express herself on paper, she resumed the habit. The journals of this second period, which ran for several years, survived until Dall was in her seventies. Then she also destroyed them, …

The Early Republic's Other Frontiers: Review Of Ethan Allen And His Kin: Correspondence, 1772-1819, Ed. John J. Duffy, With Ralph H. Orth, J. Kevin Graffagnino, And Michael A. Bellesiles., William C. Digiacomantonio

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

On May 1775, Ethan Alien wrote to the Albany (N.Y.) Committee of Correspondence one of the most exciting letters, not only in this two-volume edition of selected Alien Family correspondence, but arguably in the entire annals of American military and political history. Only the day before, he had led two hundred Vermont and Massachusetts militiamen to capture the British fortress of Ticonderoga in what some consider the colonists' first offensive action of the Revolutionary War. Members of the Second Continental Congress had not yet even convened when Allen demanded the fort's surrender jointly in their name and that of the …

Mediocrity In Paradise: Review Of Mediocrity In Bad Colonists: The South Seas Letters Of Vernon Lee Walker & Louis Becke, Ed. Nicholas Thomas And Richard Eves., Therese Weber

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

It is common for documentary editors to defend the writings with which they are dealing as important in some historical or social sense. If the author of the work is famous, or the document very old, such a defense is easy. For less well known or more recent individuals, the editor will present a case for publication: the style of the writing is remarkable, or the documents bear witness to significant events, or they have value because the writer belonged to a particular, perhaps marginalized, section of society. Nicholas Thomas and Richard Eves, the editors of the letters of Vernon …

Explorations In Class And Gender In The Old South: Review Of The Confessions Of Edward Isham: A Poor White Life Of The South, Ed. Charles C. Bolton And Scott P. Culclasure., James M. Denham

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The two lives depicted in these accounts represent two dramatically different versions of life in the Old South. As the privileged daughter of a well-to-do slaveholder, Cornelia Jones Pond of Liberty County, Georgia, encountered. none of the hardships and experiences of Edward Isham-who represented a class of people that contemporaries and historians have labeled "poor white." Pond's world was a place of supportive parents, balls, dashing suitors, and loyal servants. Edward Isham's world, on the other hand, was one of bad whiskey, knives, firearms, and poverty. Their lives offer two striking contrasts of white experiences in the antebellum South.
