Nations" 

|  HE  NAME  by  which  the  Society  is  to 
be  known  is  "The  National  Historical  So- 
ciety." 

The  Society  is  to  continue  in  perpetuity. 
The  particular  business  and  objects  of 
the  Society  will  be: 

(a)  To  discover,  procure,  preserve,  and  perpetuate 
whatever  relates  to  History,  the  History  of  the  Western 
Hemisphere,  the  History  of  the  United  States  of  America 
and  their  possessions,  and  the  History  of  Families. 

(b)  To  inculcate  and  bulwark  patriotism,  in  no  par- 
tisan, sectional,  nor  narrowly  national  sense,  but  in  recog- 
nition of  man's  high  obligation  toward  civic  righteousness, 
believing  that  human  governments  are  divinely  ordained 
to  bear  the  sword  and  exercise  police  duty  for  good  against 
evil,  and  not  for  evil  against  good,  and  recognizing,  as  be- 
tween peoples  and  peoples,  that  "God  has  made  of  "one 
blood  all  nations  of  men.*' 

(c)  To  provide  a  national  and  international  patri- 
otic clearing-house  and  historical  exchange,  promoting  by 
suitable  means  helpful  forms  of  communication  and  co-op- 
eration between  all  historical  organizations,  patriotic  or- 
ders, and  kindred  societies,  local,  state,  national,  and  inter- 


national,  that  the  usefulness  of  all  may  be  increased  and 
their  benefits  extended  toward  education  and  patriotism. 

(d)  To  promote  the  work  of  preserving  historic 
land-marks  and  marking  historic  sites. 

(e)  To  encourage  the  use  of  historical  themes  and 
the  expression  of  patriotism  in  the  Arts. 

(/)  In  the  furtherance  of  the  objects  and  purposes 
of  the  Society,  and  not  as  a  commercial  business,  to  acquire 
The  Journal  of  American  History,  and  to  publish  the  same 
as  the  official  organ  of  the  Society,  and  to  publish  or  pro- 
mote the  publication  of  whatever  else  may  seem  advisable 
in  furtherance  of  the  objects  of  the  Society. 

(g)  To  authorize  the  organization  of  members  of 
the  Society,  resident  in  given  localities,  into  associated 
branch  societies,  or  chapters  of  the  parent  Society,  and  to 
promote  by  all  other  suitable  means  the  purpose,  objects, 
and  work  of  the  Society. 

The  Foundership-body  of  The  National  Historical 
Society  consists  of — 

1 i )  Original    Founders,    contributing   five   dollars 
each  to  the  Founders'  Fund,  and  thus  enrolling  as  pioneer- 
builders  of  a  great  National  Institution  to  energize  the 
patriotism  of  America,  preserve  her  records,  study  her 
achievements,  and  hold  aloft  the  torch  of  her  ideals ; 

(2)  Original  State  Advisory  Board  Founders,  con- 
tributing twenty-five  dollars  each  to  the  Founders'  Fund, 
from  whom  will  be  elected  for  five-year  terms  the  Mem- 
bers of  the  State  Advisory  Boards; 

(3)  Original  Life-Member  Founders,  contributing 
one  hundred  dollars  each  to  the  Founders'  Fund,    from 
whom  will  be  elected  the  Grand  Council  of  the  Vice-Presi- 
dents,  a  number  representing  each  State  and  each  foreign 
country,  particularly  all  the  American  Republics. 

The  Founders  form  the  Phalanx  of  Honor  around 
whom  The  National  Historical  Society  is  working  to  co- 
ordinate the  patriotic  forces  of  All- America.

LOUIS  JOLIET.  BORN  IN  CANADA,  1645,  WHERE  HE  DIED 
IN  1700,  HE  WAS  ONE  OF  THE  MOST  DARING  AND  SUC- 
CESSFUL OF  THE  FRENCH  VOYAGEUERS 113 

JEAN  NICOLET,  COMPANION  OF  CHAMPLAIN, 
LANDING  ON  THE  SHORES  OF  GREEN  BAY,  WIS- 
CONSIN, ABOUT  1637.  NICOLET  WAS  SEEKING  A 
ROUTE  TO  CHINA  THROUGH  THE  NORTHWEST  PASSAGE,  AND, 
BELIEVING  THAT  HE  WAS  To  FIND  ASIATICS,  INSTEAD  OF 
INDIANS,  HE  CAME  ARRAYED  IN  GORGEOUS  ROBES  AND  WITH 
CEREMONIAL  POMP.  THE  RED  MEN  WERE  DEEPLY  IM- 
PRESSED, AND  IT  WAS  NOT  LONG  BEFORE  A  FRENCH  MIS- 
SION, SETTLEMENT,  AND  FORT  WERE  ESTABLISHED 116

QUETTE  AND  JOLIET,  1673.  THE  FlRST  DISCOVERY

THE  EDITOR-IN-CHIEF 

HIS  NUMBER  of  The  Journal  of  American  History, 
the  First  Number  of  the  Tenth  Volume,  is  notable  in  the 
history  of  the  Magazine.  When  the  Magazine  began 
its  career  in  1907,  presenting  our  history  in  an  entirely 
new  and  fascinating  way,  in  a  setting  of  interesting 
and  valuable  historical  illustrations,  unaccompanied  by 
the  ordinary  magazine  pages  devoted  to  commercial  advertising,  it  was 
generally  feared  that  such  a  Magazine  could  not  find  sufficient  sitp- 

[25] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

port  to  establish  itself  and  live.  There  was  reason  for  this  fear ;  but 
I  do  not  propose  here  to  go  into  the  story  of  the  struggle  of  The  Journal 
of  American  History  "for  existence"  during  the  nine  years  just  past. 

Along  with  the  needs  of  the  Magazine,  to  place  it  upon  a  basis  of 
permanency,  there  was  also  recognized  the  great  need  of  a  national 
historical  organization  to  carry  on,  more  perfectly,  the  popular,  patri- 
otic and  historical  work  begun  by  The  Journal  of  American  History. 
It  was  realized  that  the  Magazine  would  be  the  ideal  official  organ  of 
such  a  society,  through  which  its  activities  could  be  carried  on,  and 
that  the  support  of  such  a  society  would  in  turn  insure  the  continuance 
of  the  Magazine.  This  situation  was  placed  by  me  before  the  sub- 
scribers of  The  Journal  of  American  History,  in  several  circular  let- 
ters sent  out  in  December,  1914,  and  the  early  part  of  1915,  and,  in 
numerous  responses  received,  the  organization  of  a  national  historical 
society,  to  take  over  The  Journal  of  American  History,  was  enthusias- 
tically urged  with  promises  of  hearty  co-operation. 

Acting  upon  the  various  suggestions  offered,  the  work  of  enroll- 
ing Founders  of  such  a  national  organization  was  begun,  and  such 
progress  was  made  that  The  National  Historical  Society  was  incor- 
porated at  Washington,  D.  C.,  under  the  laws  of  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia, on  April  26,  1915.  Elsewhere  in  this  Number  are  printed  the 
objects  of  this  society  taken  from  the  Articles  of  Incorporation,  one  of 
its  objects  being  "to  acquire  The  Journal  of  American  History,  and  to 
publish  the  same  as  the  official  organ  of  the  Society,  and  to  publish  or 
promote  the  publication  of  whatever  else  may  seem  advisable  in  furth- 
erance of  the  objects  of  the  Society."  By  November,  1915,  the  Foun- 
dership  body  of  The  National  Historical  Society  had  become  so  con- 
siderable that  the  Executive  Committee  decided  to  take  over  The  Jour- 
nal of  American  History,  in  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  the  So- 
ciety's Founders,  and  this  was  accordingly  done.  With  the  present 
Number,  therefore,  the  Founders  of  The  National  Historical  Society 
are  receiving  the  first  Issue  of  their  own  Magazine. 

All  those  who  have  joined  in  the  notable  patriotic  work  of  found- 
ing The  National  Historical  Society  will  have  their  names  permanently 
enrolled  upon  the  Society's  books,  and  recorded  in  The  Journal  of 
American  History,  as  Original  Founders  of  The  National  Historical 
Society.  It  is  also  deemed  advisable  that  the  period  of  enrolling  Orig- 
inal Founders  be  extended,  throughout  the  formative  period,  until  The 
National  Historical  Society  shall  have  acquired  as  its  permanent  home 
suitable  national  headquarters. 

A  prospect  of  ideal  national  headquarters  is  held  out  to  us  in  the 

[26] 


THE  NATIONAL  HISTORICAL  SOCIETY 

George  Washington  Memorial  Building,  spacious  and  beautiful  de- 
signs for  which  have  been  accepted,  to  occupy  a  site  provided  by  Act 
of  Congress  in  "The  Mall,"  near  the  National  Capitol  Building,  in 
Washington,  D.  C. 

Immediately  following  is  a  letter,  written  while  in  Washington 
last  December,  when  the  need  for  the  George  Washington  Memorial 
Building  was  so  painfully  apparent  in  the  lack  of  facilities  for  the  con- 
gresses and  conventions  then  meeting  in  that  city.  This  letter  was 
published  in  the  Washington  Star  on  January  i,  1916,  and  is  here 
given  for  the  information  which  it  contains  concerning  the  Building. 
A  view  of  this  Building,  reproduced  from  the  accepted  designs,  ap- 
pears on  the  front  cover  of  this  Number  of  The  Journal  of  American 
History,  which  also  contains  other  views,  including  some  of  the  in- 
ternal details.  The  entire  Building,  designed  to  carry  out  desires  ex- 
pressed in  Washington's  will,  not  alone  will  be  a  beautiful  memorial 
to  Washington,  the  father  of  all  our  patriotic  efforts,  but  the  large 
Convention  Hall,  supplying  a  need  which  the  City  of  Washington 
now  lacks,  will  be  a  special  Memorial  to  the  Signers  of  the  Declaration 
of  Independence,  who  now  are  without  a  memorial  of  any  kind  in 
Washington. 

Besides  providing  conventional  facilities  for  Washington,  D.  C., 
in  its  great  Convention  Hall,  seating  7,000  people,  and  its  six  or  seven 
smaller  convention  halls,  seating  from  600  to  2,500  people  each,  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Building,  with  its  hundreds  of  rooms 
and  suites,  will  provide  permanent  national  headquarters  for  all  the 
national  patriotic,  scientific  and  artistic  societies  that  wish  to  take 
advantage  of  these  facilities.  By  reference  to  the  Articles  of  Incor- 
poration it  will  be  found  that  one  of  the  objects  of  The  National  His- 
torical Society  is  "to  provide  a  national  and  international  patriotic 
clearing-house  and  historical  exchange,  promoting  by  suitable  means 
helpful  forms  of  communication  and  co-operation  between  all  histor- 
ical organizations,  patriotic  orders,  and  kindred  societies,  local,  state, 
national,  and  international,  that  the  usefulness  of  all  may  be  increased 
and  their  benefits  extended  toward  education  and  patriotism." 

The  natural  relation  of  The  National  Historical  Society  to  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Building  is  thus  apparent.  This  beau- 
tiful Memorial  Building  will  be  the  material  expression  in  Washington 
of  that  affiliation  and  co-operation  between  all  patriotic  forces  of  the 
country  which  it  is  one  of  the  chief  objects  of  The  National  Historical 
Society  and  The  Journal  of  American  History  to  promote,  the  Build- 

[27] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

ing  providing  headquarters  and  facilities  for  all  such  activities.  Un- 
der these  circumstances  I  trust  that  every  Founder  of  The  National 
Historical  Society  will  do  everything  possible  to  further  and  hasten 
the  erection  of  this  Memorial  Building. 

For  the  splendid  beginning  in  this  diction  already  made,  the 
entire  Country  owes  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  George  Washington 
Memorial  Association;  to  its  patriotic  and  devoted  President,  Mrs. 
Henry  F.  Dimock,  who  is  also  one  of  the  Vice-Presidents  of  The  Na- 
tional Historical  Society,  and  to  whose  remarkable  efforts  the  great 
success  obtained  is  principally  due;  and  to  other  officers  and  mem- 
bers of  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  who  have  been 
Mrs.  Dimock's  devoted  helpers  in  this  great  enterprise. 

The  time  has  arrived  for  the  Nation,  as  a  whole,  to  rally  to  the 
support  of  this  labor  of  love  of  patriotic  and  far-seeing  American 
women,  and  as  the  beginning  of  a  national  movement  to  this  end  we 
have  made  this  Number  of  The  Journal  of  American  History  a  special 
George  Washington  Memorial  Number.  In  this  Number  will  be 
found  a  double  Roll  of  Honor.  In  one  list  appear  the  names  of  the 
Founders  of  The  National  Historical  Society,  complete  up  to  the  time 
of  going  to  press.  In  the  other  list  will  be  found  the  names  of  Mem- 
bers and  Contributors  of  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Associa- 
tion. Those  whose  names  are  enrolled  in  both  causes  are  to  be  especially 
congratulated;  and  in  future  Numbers  of  The  Journal  of  American 
History  we  shall  be  glad  to  add  the  names  of  others  who  join  these 
Honor  Rolls  by  contributing  to  The  National  Historical  Society  or  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Building.

THE  NATIONAL  HISTORICAL  SOCIETY 


FOR  NATIONAL  CONVENTIONS 

GEORGE  WASHINGTON  MEMORIAL  BUILDING 

FACILITIES  FOR  ALL  SOCIETIES 

IN  A  LETTER  TO  THE  WASHINGTON  STAR,  THE  PRESIDENT  OF  THE 
NATIONAL  HISTORICAL  SOCIETY  CALLS  ATTENTION  TO  THE 
GREAT  BUILDING  PLANNED  FOR  CONVENTIONS  IN 
WASHINGTON  AND  FOR  PERMANENT  HEAD- 
QUARTERS FOR  NATIONAL  SOCIETIES 
To  the  Editor: 

The  make-shifts  to  accommodate  the  Congresses  and  Associations 
now  meeting  in  Washington  impress  all  with  the  tremendous  need  for 
convention  facilities  in  Washington.  The  crisis  in  Europe  has  aroused 
every  Western  Nation,  the  resulting  conferences  have  only  just  begun, 
and  Washington  must  prepare  as  the  intellectual  capital  and  meeting- 
place  of  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

Within  a  few  days  question  concerning  a  convention  hall  has  been 
raised  and  a  Women's  Auxiliary  Pan  American  Building  has  been 
suggested.  Should  we  not  remind  ourselves,  therefore,  that  a  con- 
vention building  is  already  planned,  architect's  drawings  accepted,  a 
site  in  the  Mall  provided  by  Congress,  and  more  than  a  quarter  of  a 
million  of  dollars  raised,  largely  by  patriotic  women?  A  united  effort 
by  the  patriotic  forces  of  the  whole  country,  or  of  Pan  America,  is 
alone  needed  to  increase  the  present  fund  to  the  million  dollars  re- 
quired by  act  of  Congress  before  work  is  begun,  and  the  foundations 
may  be  laid  by  next  Spring. 

I  refer  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Building,  which  will 
at  the  same  time  be  a  Memorial  to  Washington  and  carry  out  the 
desires  expressed  in  his  will  and  elsewhere  to  promote  "the  diffusion 
of  knowledge  in  all  lines  of  human  activity  that  will  conduce  to  the 
advancement  of  the  welfare  of  mankind."' 

The  architects'  accepted  plans  reveal  an  exquisite  building,  un- 
surpassed by  anything  in  Washington,  the  beautiful.  The  large  Audi- 
torium will  seat  6,000  people  on  the  floor,  1,000  in  the  gallery,  and  350 
on  the  stage,  while  grouped  around  this  will  be  6  or  7  other  conven- 
tion halls,  accommodating  from  600  to  2,500  persons,  each  hall  with 
two  committee  or  reception  rooms. 

The  other  floors  will  contain  a  large  banquet  hall  and  hundreds 

[29] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

of  rooms,  or  suites,  which  may  become  permanent  national  headquar- 
ters for  the  scientific,  historical,  educational,  patriotic,  literary  and  art 
associations  of  the  country. 

Many  organizations  have  passed  resolutions  strongly  endorsing 
the  plan  and  purpose  of  the  building,  while  a  number  have  already 
perfected  arrangements  to  make  it  their  permanent  headquarters.  It 
has  been  suggested  that  each  State  and  American  Republic  have  a  spe- 
cial room.  Just  as  the  building  as  whole  is  a  memorial  to  Washington, 
the  large  Auditorium  is  to  be  a  special  memorial  to  the  Signers  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Might  not  each  State  here  com- 
memorate its  great  men,  and  each  American  Republic  its  national 
heroes  ? 

Director-General  Barrett  has  just  called  attention  to  the  remark- 
able social  intimacy  which  the  whole  Western  Hemisphere  is  now  rep- 
resentatively enjoying  in  Washington.  The  George  Washington 
Memorial  Building  presents  an  opportunity  for  the  close  linking  to- 
gether of  the  co-operative  associations  of  the  New  World,  as  intimate 
neighbors,  gathered  beneath  the  name  of  Washington  under  one  roof. 
Shall  not,  then,  All- America  join  hands  in  completing  this  mucC, 
needed  memorial  building?  Then,  as  the  Pan  American  Puildin^  is 
the  material  expression  of  co-operation  of  our  Republican  Govern- 
ments, the  George  Washington  Memorial  Building  v.  i!1  be  ihe  material 
expression  of  co-operation  in  all  the  internal  activities  of  the  peoples 
of  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

Officers  of  The  National  Historical  Society,  of  which  I  am  Presi- 
dent, regard  the  completion  of  this  building  as  so  desirable,  as  so  timely 
a  service  to  all  our  American  peoples,  that  we  have  decided  to  devote 
our  energies  as  largely  as  possible  in  its  behalf ;  and  through  your  col- 
umns I  respectfully  urge  the  merits  of  this  great  patriotic  undertaking 
upon  all  the  societies  and  individuals  who  are  now,  like  myself,  en- 
joying the  hospitality  of  Washington.

[HEN  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Building 
stands  complete,  in  Washington,  D.  C,  a  Memorial  to 
George  Washington  and  the  Signers  of  the  Declara- 
tion of  Independence,  and  a  home,  the  meeting-place, 
and  national  headquarters  for  the  patriotic  activities 
for  the  entire  Country,  this  magnificent  structure,  the 
plans  for  which  are  said  to  provide  for  the  most  beautiful  building  so 
far  designed  for  Washington,  will  also  be  a  memorial  to  the  inspired 
initiative  and  untiring  zeal  of  a  devoted  band  of  American  women, 
preeminent  among  whom  is  Mrs.  Henry  F.  Dimock,  of  New  York  and 
Washington. 

Some  years  ago  Mrs.  Dimock  accepted  the  Presidency  of  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  at  a  time  when  the  pros- 
pect seemed  hopeless  of  achieving  the  purpose  of  the  Association  to 
provide  some  Memorial  to  George  Washington  which  would  carry  out 
the  desires  in  behalf  of  the  American  people  expressed  in  his  will.  In 
Mrs.  Dimock's  mind  the  conception  of  the  George  Washington  Memo- 
rial Building  took  shape  and  grew  until  she  had  a  clear  vision  of  a 
great  and  beautiful  building  which  should  afford  the  entire  Country 
the  convention  facilities  so  much  needed  in  Washington,  while  at  the 
same  time  providing  permanent  national  headquarters  for  the  patri- 
otic, scientific  and  artistic  organizations  of  the  Land. 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

This  conception  inspired  the  Association  with  renewed  zeal  and 
enthusiasm;  an  architectural  competition  to  secure  the  best  plans  was 
inaugurated ;  the  exquisite  designs  submitted  by  Tracy  &  Swartwout, 
New  York  City,  were  accepted;  the  interest  and  endorsement  of  the 
most  distinguished  public  men  were  obtained ;  an  ideal  site  in  the  Mall, 
at  Washington,  was  secured  by  special  Act  of  Congress ;  and  the  work 
of  raising  funds  was  prosecuted  with  such  energy  and  success  that 
already  more  than  $260,000  have  been  provided  toward  the  building's 
erection.  This  is  the  achievement  of  women,  and  the  supreme  achieve- 
ment of  Mrs.  Dimock. 

The  fact  that  Mrs.  Dimock's  life  has  been  filled  with  the  arduous 
burdens  and  responsibilities  of  a  "society  woman"  has  not  kept  her 
from  undertakings  which  we  are  not  accustomed  to  associate  with 
"society"  nor  to  expect  from  those  engrossed  by  the  constant  demand 
of  social  functions.  Her  remarkable  success  in  organizing  and  di- 
recting the  energies  of  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association 
have  revealed  a  "business  woman,"  with  an  astonishing  talent  for  exe- 
cutive generalship ;  her  conception  and  elaboration  of  the  plan  of  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Building  disclose  a  woman  of  inspired 
vision  and  imagination;  while  the  perfect  character  of  her  technical 
historical  work  in  connection  with  the  South  Coventry  Town  Records, 
eliciting.the  unqualified  admiration  of  the  highest  experts  and  special- 
ists, has  manifested  the  rarest  aptitude  for  detailed  and  painstaking 
application  in  historical  research. 

Suffering  in  1897,  so  as  to  be  almost  an  invalid,  Mrs.  Dimock 
spent  that  and  succeeding  summers  in  the  house  where  her  husband 
was  born  in  South  Coventry,  Connecticut,  which  town  was  also  the 
birthplace  of  the  famous  patriot  spy  of  the  American  Revolution,  Na- 
than Hale.  Well  or  ill,  it  is  not  in  Mrs.  Dimock's  constitution  to  be  idle, 
and  she  interested  herself  in  the  Town  Records  of  South  Coventry, 
which  date  from  early  in  the  Eighteenth  century.  The  records  of 
those  early  times  are  often  extremely  difficult  to  decipher;  and,  in 
order  to  extract  the  complete  records  of  births,  deaths,  and  marriages, 
to  which  task  Mrs.  Dimock  set  herself,  it  was  necessary  to  read  entire 
tomes,  from  cover  to  cover,  as  the  vital  records  are  often  found  in 
small  paragraphs  concealed  among  the  longer  documents — the  doings 
at  the  town  meetings,  the  numberless  cattle-brandings  registered  by 
the  owners  of  herds,  etc. 

By  indefatigable  labor  Mrs.  Dimock  transcribed  exactly  all  the 
vital  records  covering  a  period  of  140  years,  arranged  them  alphabeti- 
cally, and  at  her  own  expense  published  them  in  a  work  of  which  250 

[32] 


ACHIEVEMENT   BY   A   PATRIOTIC   AMERICAN   WOMAN 

copies  were  printed  and  donated  to  public  libraries  throughout  the 
country.  This  valuable  volume  is  now  difficult  to  procure,  and  upon 
its  appearance  was  recognized  by  the  New  England  Register,  organ 
of  the  New  England  Genealogical  Society,  as  containing  historical 
work  of  the  highest  order  of  its  kind  which  had  anywhere  appeared  in 
print. 

Mrs.  Dimock's  work  did  not  stop  here,  however ;  but,  as  the  com- 
piler of  the  South  Coventry  vital  records,  she  found  herself  appealed 
to  from  all  parts  of  the  Country  by  those  with  genealogical  puzzles 
who  implored  her,  for  $25,  $50,  $100,  any  amount,  in  reason,  she 
might  wish  to  charge,  to  render  assistance.  Imagine  a  wealthy  so- 
ciety woman  importuned  as  if  a  professional  genealogist.  But  appeal 
was  not  made  to  her  in  vain.  Although  the  petitioners  retained  all 
their  fees,  Mrs.  Dimock  freely  devoted  her  time  and  expert  knowledge 
to  resolve  their  difficulties,  and  straightened  the  crooked  trunks  and 
wandering  branches  of  a  large  number  of  family  trees  for  anxious 
descendants  in  all  parts  of  the  Country. 

But  all  this  involved  new  original  research.  Mrs.  Dimock  soon 
recognized  that  the  required  solution  of  problems  could  only  come,  very 
largely,  from  the  additional  information  stored  up  in  old  deeds,  and 
in  order  to  work  out  suitable  Indexes  of  Grantors  and  Grantees,  she 
read,  page  by  page,  some  19  volumes  of  the  local  records,  transcribed 
every  name  appearing  in  the  deeds,  with  whatever  context  gave  genea- 
logical information,  and  arranged  them  alphabetically.  She  then 
copied,  or  had  copied,  the  inscriptions  from  nine  or  ten  cemeteries ; 
employed  the  Town  Clerk  of  the  neighboring  Town  of  Mansfield  to 
transcribe  the  births,  deaths,  and  marriages,  of  that  town,  and  took 
transcriptions  of  the  records  of  the  two  neighborhood  churches ;  all  of 
which  she  printed  for  distribution. 

She  also  had  the  genealogical  information  from  the  Mansfield 
deeds,  covering  150  years,  extracted,  as  she  had  taken  it  from  the 
South  Coventry  deeds  had  this  indexed  alphabetically,  and  placed  on 
record  in  the  office  of  the  Town  Clerk  of  Mansfield  for  easy  access  to 
any  applicant;  while  she  also  had  the  cemetery  inscriptions  copied 
throughout  the  town  of  Mansfield. 

She  thus  made  herself  the  authority  on  South  Coventry  and  Mans- 
field genealogy ;  from  which  it  may  be  inferred  that  Mrs.  Dimock  does 
not  lightly  drop  any  work  which  she  takes  in  hand.  These  character- 
istics not  merely  suggest  a  peculiar  appropriateness  in  her  selection  for 
the  patriotic  task  of  serving  the  entire  Country  as  President  of  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  but  also  indicate,  we  judge, 

[33] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

something  of  that  tremendous  energy,  perseverance,  thoroughness, 
and  talent  for  organizing  the  efforts  of  others  which  have  enabled  her 
first  to  plan  a  great  patriotic  creation,  and  then  to  secure,  already, 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  million  of  dollars  to  carry  it  into  execution. 
Such  an  effort  will  assuredly  be  supported  by  the  patriotism  of  the 
American  people  as  soon  as  its  character  and  importance  are  gen- 
erally realized.

THE  EDITOR-IN-CHIEF  OF  THE  JOURNAL  OF 
AMERICAN  HISTORY 

N  THIS  NUMBER  of  The  Journal  of  American  His- 
tory we  present  the  claims  of  two  great  patriotic  causes  ; 
and  if  you  contribute  to  them  your  contribution  will 
be  a  permanent  investment,  turning  itself  over  and 
over,  and  yielding  constant  returns  in  the  support  and 
encouragement  of  our  highest  American  ideals. 
One  of  these  causes  is  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Build- 
ing, for  which  $2,250,000  is  yet  required. 

The  other  of  these  causes  is  The  National  Historical  Society, 
which  requires  a  large  permanent  endowment  in  order  to  grapple  with 
the  great  need  to  place  The  Journal  of  American  History  in  a  million 
homes,  to  inspire  patriotism,  and  to  secure  the  conservation  of  the  his- 
torical and  genealogical  records  of  the  country  now  deteriorating  and 
in  danger  of  total  destruction. 

Can  you  do  one  of  the  following  things? 

i.  Can  you  make  a  considerable  contribution  to  advance  Ameri- 
can patriotism,  one-half  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Build- 
ing, and  the  other  half  to  The  National  Historical  Society?  If  you 
make  your  contribution  to  the  Memorial  Building  through  The  Na- 
tional Historical  Society  it  will  render  a  double  service.  We  will  for- 
ward it  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  which  will 
acknowledge  it,  with  proper  certificate,  to  you,  while  The  Journal  of 
American  History  will  also  acknowledge  it.  But,  as  forwarded 
through  us,  it  will  also  be  credited  toward  providing  suitable  perma- 
nent headquarters  for  The  National  Historical  Society  in  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Building. 

[35] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

2.  Can  you  contribute  $200,  $100  for  the  George  Washington 
Memorial,  and  $100  to  make  you  an  Original  Life-Member  Founder 
of  The  National  Historical  Society? 

3.  Can  you  contribute  $100,  $50  to  the  George  Washington 
Memorial  Building,  and  $50  to  make  both  you  and  some  friend  Origi- 
nal State  Advisory  Board  Founders  of    The    National    Historical 
Society  ? 

4.  Can  you  contribute  $50,  $25  to  the  George  Washington  Memo- 
rial Building,  and  $25  to  make  you  an  Original  State  Advisory  Board 
Founder  of  The  National  Historical  Society  ? 

5.  Can  you  contribute  $20,  $10  to  the  George  Washington  Memo- 
rial Building,  and  $10  to  make  both  you  and  some  friend  Original 
Founders  of  The  National  Historical  Society? 

6.  Can  you  contribute  $10,  $5  to  the  George  Washington  Memo- 
rial Building,  and  $5  to  make  you  an  Original  Founder  of  The  Na- 
tional Historical  Society? 

7.  If  you  yourself  already  have  contributed  all  that  you  feel 
you  can  toward  these  two  causes,  can  you,  and  will  you,  bring  to  the 
attention  of  your  friends  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Building 
and  The  National  Historical  Society,  as  patriotic  causes  which  deserve 
the  support  of  every  American  ? 


William 


[ILLIAM  H.  WAY  was  the  son  of  Henry  D.  Way  and 
Betsy  Smith  Way.  He  was  born  in  Ashfield,  Massa- 
chusetts, October  22,  1861,  and  died  in  Meriden,  Con- 
necticut, May  16,  1915. 

His  parents  settled  in  Meriden  when  he  was  four 
years  old,  he  was  educated  in  the  schools  there,  and 
nearly  all  his  life  was  passed  there. 

At  the  age  of  twenty-one  he  began  his  career  as  a  printer  in  the 
Holyoke  Envelope  Company.  He  remained  there  for  a  few  years,  and 
then  became  Editor  of  The  Echo,  a  newspaper  of  Huntington,  Massa- 
chusetts. In  1891  Mr.  Way  returned  to  Meriden,  to  assume  the  charge 
of  the  Converse  Publishing  Company.  On  the  death  of  Mr.  A.  J.  Con- 
verse, the  head  of  this  organization,  the  business  was  re-established, 
under  the  name  of  the  Curtiss-Way  Company  in  1899,  and  Mr.  Way 
was  elected  Secretary  and  Manager.  In  January,  1913,  he  became 
the  President  of  the  Curtiss-Way  Company,  and  held  this  office  until 
his  retirement  from  business,  April  26,  1915,  a  few  weeks  before  his 
death. 

Mr.  Way  was  an  officer  of  the  corporation  which  owned  and 
published  The  Journal  of  American  History,  prior  to  May,  1911.  He 
always  retained  the  most  sympathetic  interest  in  The  Journal,  and 
when  The  National  Historical  Society  was  formed  to  support  and  ex- 
tend the  work  of  The  Journal  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  become  an 
Original  Life-Member  Founder  of  the  Society,  and  he  was  one  of  the 
first  elected  to  the  Grand  Council  of  the  Vice-Presidents  of  The  Na- 
tional Historical  Society,  representing  the  State  of  Connecticut. 

He  was  survived  by  his  wife,  Mrs.  Lena  Tyler  Way,  a  step- 
daughter, Miss  Pearl  Allen  Way,  and  two  sisters,  Mrs.  Elfie  Roys  of 
South  Meriden,  Connecticut,  and  Mrs.  Arthur  L.  Clark  of  Bridge- 
port, Connecticut. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  The  National  Historical  Society 
passed  the  following  Resolution  as  an  expression  of  their  earnest  sense 
of  loss  at  the  death  of  Mr.  Way. 

"Whereas  the  sympathetic  interest  in  the  welfare  and  success  of

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

The  Journal  of  American  History,  always  manifested  by  William  H. 
Way,  who  was  at  one  time  part-owner  of  the  magazine,  was  indirectly 
a  potent  factor  in  the  work  of  the  present  Editors,  through  whose 
agency  The  National  Historical  Society  had  its  inception ;  and 

"Whereas  the  same  kindly  consideration  and  spirit  of  co-opera- 
tion was  shown  by  Mr.  Way  to  The  National  Historical  Society,  of 
which  he  was  an  Original  Life-Member  Founder  and  Vice-Presi- 
dent ;  and 

"Whereas  the  Directors  of  the  Society  feel  that  his  counsel  and 
friendship  would  have  been  of  great  service  to  the  Society,  had  it  been 
the  Will  of  God  that  "his  life  should  be  prolonged; 

"Therefore,  be  it  resolved,  that  the  Directors  of  the  Society  ex- 
tend earnest  sympathy  to  the  family  of  William  H.  Way  in  their  grief 
at  his  death. 

"And  be  it  further  resolved  that  these  present  resolutions  be  re- 
corded in  the  minutes  of  the  Society,  and  a  copy  thereof  sent  to  Mrs. 
William  H.  Way."

ENRY    STEPHEN    HAWLEY,    Vice-President    of 
The  National  Historical  Society,  was  in  a  special  sense 
a  Founder  of  the  Society.    When  the  plans  for  such  an 
organization  were  laid  before  the  friends  of  The  Jour- 
nal of  American  History  by  the  magazine's  Editors, 
______      his  wise  counsel  and  understanding  sympathy  were  a 

bulwark  of  encouragement,  whose  value  will  never  be  forgotten.  He 
was  elected  an  Original  Life-Member  Founder  and  a  Vice-President 
of  the  Society,  at  its  first  Directors'  meeting  held  for  such  elections. 

By  force  of  character  he  impressed  himself  on  all  with  whom  he 
had  intimate  relations.  The  Raihvay  Revieiv,  in  a  memorial  article, 
said:  "In  the  death  of  Mr.  Henry  S.  Hawley  the  world  loses  a  man 
of  a  high  type,  the  city  of  Chicago  one  of  its  most  valued  citizens,  and 
the  railway  supply  business  one  of  its  most  respected  leaders." 

Of  Mr.  Hawley  as  an  eminent  business  leader  much  might  be 
said,  for  "the  name  of  Henry  Stephen  Hawley  stood  for  sparkling 
honesty,  absolute  financial  integrity,  and  unswerving  honor  ;"  but  per- 
haps the  justest  estimates  of  him  as  a  man  came  from  his  associates 
in  his  spiritual  life.  For  Henry  Stephen  Hawley  was  a  strong,  de- 
voted Christian,  who  "lived  his  religion  in  health  and  strength."  The 
Rector  of  the  Episcopalian  Church  of  the  Redeemer  in  Chicago,  of 
which  he  was  Senior  Warden,  wrote:  "When  I  think  of  our  noble 
friend  with  the  greatest  help  and  comfort,  I  think  of  him  as  I  used  to 
see  his  fine,  strong  face  in  two  particular  places.  One  was  in  church, 
as  I  used  to  look  upon  him  from  chancel  or  pulpit,  when  seriousness 
and  reverence  mingled  loftily  with  the  keen  intelligence  that  always 
characterized  his  feaures,  and  the  other  was  in  his  home,  when  genial- 
ity and  cordiality,  generosity  and  kindliness,  beamed  from  every  look 
and  made  him  a  prince  of  truest  cordiality." 

He  was  born  in  Bridgeport,  Connecticut,  August  12,  1851,  and 
died  at  his  summer  home,  in  Saunderstown,  Rhode  Island,  July  22, 
1915.  He  was  educated  in  Bridgeport,  but  in  1874  removed  to  Chi- 
cago, becoming  connected  with  bridge  construction  work.  He  was 
elected  President  of  the  Chicago,  Wisconsin,  and  Minnesota  Railroad, 

[39] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

and  later  held  high  offices  in  other  railroads.  In  1906  he  reorganized 
the  Railroad  Supply  Company  and  became  its  President. 

Mr.  Hawley  took  an  active  interest  in  politics,  being  a  member 
of  the  Republican  Party.  He  belonged  to  several  clubs,  but  his  chief 
interest,  outside  of  his  business  duties,  was  his  church  life.  "He  was 
a  man  of  strong  convictions,  which  he  backed  up  courageously." 

On  November  3,  1880,  he  married  Miss  Lillie  Leah  Ferguson, 
who  survives  him,  with  two  sons,  Royal  Duncan  Hawley  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  Philip  Ferguson  Hawley  of  Chicago.  Another  son,  Henry 
Stephen,  died  in  infancy. 

The  following  Resolutions  were  passed  by  the  Directors  of  The 
National  Historical  Society  after  Mr.  Hawley's  death. 

"Whereas,  The  National  Historical  Society  owes  a  debt  of  deep 
gratitude  to  Henry  Stephen  Hawley,  an  Original  Life-Member 
Founder  and  Vice-President  of  the  Society,  for  his  cordial  encour- 
agement and  wise  counsel  at  the  inception  of  the  Society,  and  whereas 
the  Directors  of  the  Society  esteem  it  a  blessing  to  have  had  such  co- 
operation from  a  man  whose  kindly  virtues  and  admirable  judgment 
were  enlightened  by  his  strong  faith  as  a  devout  servant  of  our  Lord 
Christ; 

"Therefore,  be  it  resolved,  that  the  Directors  of  The  National 
Historical  Society  extend  their  heartfelt  sympathy  to  the  family  of 
Henry  Stephen  Hawley  in  their  grief  at  his  death. 

"And  be  it  further  resolved,  that  these  present  resolutions  be  re- 
corded in  the  minutes  of  the  Society,  and  a  copy  thereof  sent  to  Mrs. 
Stephen  Hawley."

COLONEL  HENRY  H.  HUMPHREYS,  U.  S.  A.,  RETIRED 

Great-Grandson  of  Joshua  Humphreys 

SKETCH  of  the  designer  and  builder  .of  our  Super- 
dreadnaughts  of  the  past  accompanies  photographic 
copies  of  letters  over  one  hundred  years  of  age.  One 
letter,  dated  January  6,  1793,  enunciates  the  principles 
of  their  construction  which,  in  spite  of  the  derisive 
term  applied  to  them  of  "fir  built  frigates,"  were  vic- 
torious in  combat.  Their  victories,  nevertheless,  caused  some  nations 
to  cut  down  their  naval  ships  to  conform  to  ours.  To  this  day  our 
navy,  with  slight  changes  of  expression,  is  constructed  upon  the  prin- 
ciples in  the  letter  to  be  set  forth.  Their  production  herewith  pre- 
sented in  this  article  proves  who  was  the  designer  of  these  vessels,  will 
set  at  rest  for  all  time  the  claims  of  others  for  their  conception. 

Daniel,  the  grandfather  of  Joshua  Humphreys,  Welsh  by  birth, 
in  religion  a  Quaker,  came  to  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  in  the  year 
1682,  settling  near  Philadelphia.  He  married  Hannah  Wynne,  daugh- 
ter of  Doctor  Thomas  Wynne,  first  Speaker  of  the  Provincial  Assem- 
bly of  that  Province.  The  subject  of  this  sketch,  Joshua  Humphreys, 
was  also  a  Quaker,  but  read  out  of  Meeting,  because  of  giving  his 
aid  in  the  Revolution  of  the  Colonies  against  Great  Britain.  Being 
Welsh,  he  married  Mary  David  of  Welsh  parentage. 

[49] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Among  many  papers  in  possession  of  the  family  is  one  yellow  with 
age,  but  the  writing  legible.  That  paper  is  dated  the  27th  day  of  the 
fifth  month  of  the  year  1683,  and  issued  from  the  Quarterly  Meeting 
of  the  Society  of  Friends  at  Merionethshire,  Wales ;  is  signed  by  six- 
teen persons,  all  Quakers,  who  vouch  for  the  orderly  walkings  of  one 
Elizabeth  Humphreys,  widow  of  Samuel  Humphreys,  and  her  four 
children,  who  intend  to  remove  to  Pennsylvania  in  America  and  join 
her  son,  Daniel.  That  paper  describes  the  widow  in  this  manner.  "As 
to  herself,  the  said  Elizabeth  is  a  woman  worthy  of  our  recommenda- 
tion, for  an  honest  faithful  woman,  that  has  been  serviceable  in 
her  place,  and  praiseworthy  in  her  conversations  among  us." 

The  children,  Benjamin,  Lydia,  Amy  and  Gobitha,  are  mentioned 
as  being  educated,  and  as  "children  of  honest  parents  and  whom  we 
have  known  as  tender  Plants,  growing  in  that  work,  the  knowledge  of 
which  is  the  truth  and  grace  of  God."  Her  son,  Daniel,  is  mentioned 
as  "already  gone  into  Penn.,  about  twelve  months  since." 

Daniel  had  by  his  wife  sons  and  daughters,  one  of  whom, 
Joshua,  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Edward  and  Eleanor  Williams 
of  Blockley,  September  n,  1742,  and  had  among  other  children,  one 
named  Joshua,  the  designer  of  "Old  Ironsides"  and  her  five  sister 
ships. 

Joshua  was  born  June  17,  1751,  in  the  township  of  Merion,  now 
Haverford,  in  the  County  of  Delaware,  Pennsylvania.  At  fourteen 
years  of  age  his  parents  moved  to  Philadelphia.  Joshua  was  appren- 
ticed to  a  shipbuilder,  Mr.  James,  or  Jonathan,  Penrose,  "a  gentleman 
of  the  highest  respectability."  Mr.  Penrose  dying  before  the  appren- 
ticeship of  Joshua  expired,  Mrs.  Penrose  gave  him  his  time.  A  vessel 
was  then  on  the  stocks.  The  owner  requested  the  "young  apprentice" 
to  finish  her  which  was  done  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  owner. 

Before  reaching  twenty-one  years  he  entered  into  business  with 
a  cousin,  Mr.  John  Wharton  of  Philadelphia,  building  several  ships. 
Soon  afterwards  he  received  an  appointment  "at  the  Continental  ship- 
yard," to  build  a  frigate  of  certain  dimensions,  the  Randolph  (of  un- 
happy name),  but  according  to  his  views  of  what  would  be  correct. 

He  was  also  commissioned  by  "the  Committee  of  Safety  of  Phila- 
delphia" to  build  a  galley,  the  first  armed  vessel  built  in  the  Revolu- 
tion ;  and  he  was  employed  by  the  "Marine  Committee"  to  fit  out  a 
fleet  of  war  vessels,  which  sailed  in  1776  under  Commodore  Ezek 
Hopkins.  While  Congress  was  debating  whether  a  national  navy 
should  be  built  or  not,  a  letter,  dated  January  6,  1793,  addressed  to 

[50] 


WHO   BUILT  THE   FIRST   UNITED   STATES    NAVY? 

Robert  Morris,  was  written  by  Joshua  Humphreys,  then  an  experienced 
shipbuilder,  wherein  he  set  forth  the  provisions  which  should  govern 
the  construction  of  a  class  of  vessels  not  hitherto  in  existence.  It  is 
needless  to  say,  those  views,  being  sound,  were  accepted  by  the  Gov- 
ernment. Drafts  and  moulds  of  the  proposed  frigates  were  directed 
to  be  prepared  and  sent  to  selected  cities  for  their  building.  (  See  ac-

Joshua  Humphreys,  accepting  the  foregoing  invitation  of  General 
Knox,  relates  the  subjects  under  discussion.  "I  attended;  the  subject 
under  consideration  was  the  construction  of  a  navy,  whereat  I  set 
forth  the  principles  on  which  I  recommended  frigates  should  be  built, 
as  expressed  in  a  letter  which  I  had  addressed  to  Hon.  Robert  Morris. 
The  act  of  March  27th,  1794,  was  discussed."  Resuming,  he  says:

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

"Shortly  after  the  passage  of  this  act  I  received  a  letter  of  which  the 
following  is  a  copy."  (See  the  reproduction  herewith,  Document  C.) 

Resuming,  he  states:  "I  have  mislaid  the  copy  of  my  letter  to 
Genl.  Knox  of  the  I2th  April,  1794,  to  which  the  preceding  letter  from 
him  to  me  of  same  date  replies.  This  must  account  for  its  omission 
immediately  preceding  his.  It  in  effect  propounds  to  construct  the 
frigates  on  the  same  principles  as  set  forth  in  my  letter  to  Hon.  Rob- 
ert Morris  of  the  6.  of  January  1793,  &  propounds  models  for  the  con- 
struction of  the  frigates  in  conformity  thereto,  which  were  adopted; 
&  the  frigates  with  the  exception  of  the  Chesapeake,  built  thereon. 
On  the  2ist  and  28th  of  June  1794,  I  received  instructions  as  follows:" 
(See  Documents  D  and  E.) 

Humphreys'  pen  states :  "The  frigate  then  built<Jby  me,  the  United 
States,  was  frequently  visited  during  the  progress  of  her  building  by 
President  Washington,  who  expressed  deep  interest  in  all  that  related 
to  her,  &  the  intended  navy."  (Document  F.) 

Further  instructions  were  received  July  24,  1794.  (See  Docu- 
ment G  and  Document  H.) 

As  to  the  title,  "Constructor  of  the  Navy  of  the  United  States," 
the  correspondence  does  not  show  it  was  withdrawn  during  the  contin- 
uance in  office  of  Joshua  Humphreys  as  such.  From  the  instructions 
contained  in  the  letter  of  July  24,  1794,  Mr.  Fox  was  not  independent 
of  his  chief.  From  him,  he  received  general  or  special  directions  to 
carry  out.  Possibly  Mr.  Fox  offered  suggestions  in  the  building  of  the 
frigates  which,  being  considered  feasible,  were  accepted  by  his  chief 
and  carried  out,  but  that  Mr.  Fox  did  build  the  frigates  is  rejected  in 
toto.  In  all  business  establishments  one  head  is  responsible  for  the  suc- 
cess or  failure  of  the  work,  not  the  subordinate.  Blame  for  this  or  that 
failure  can  not  be  shifted  from  the  shoulders  of  the  chief,  unless  the 
subordinate  did  not  carry  out  the  orders  received  from  the  head. 

Our  frigates  of  forty-four  and  thirty-six  guns  in  single  combat 
were  always  victorious  with  the  exception  of  one,  the  Chesapeake. 
Why  was  that  ?  It  is  believed  her  loss  is  attributable  to  the  following 
reasons. 

First,  there  was  violation  of  the  Act  of  Congress  of  March  27, 
1794,  which  prescribed  the  number  of  frigates,  four  to  carry  each  for- 
ty-four guns,  and  two  frigates  each  to  carry  thirty-six  guns.  Conse- 
quently there  were  three  of  each  class.  Secondly,  there  was  radical 
departure  in  the  Chesapeake' s  construction  upon  a  new  plan,  differing 
from  the  one  sent,  which  failure  will  be  explained  further  on.  Third,

there  was  the  loss  of  eight  guns,  quite  an  important  factor  in  combat. 
Why  should  not  Mr.  Fox  be  held  responsible  for  her  loss? 

Humphreys,  resuming,  states:  "I  had  also  to  provide  rough 
moulds  &  instructions  to  Mr.  Morgan,  who  was  sent  to  Georgia  to  cut 
timber  for  the  frigates.  After  the  drafts,  moulds  &  instructions  were 
completed  &  forwarded  to  the  different  agents  as  directed  in  Genl. 
Knox's  letter,  it  was  found  there  was  not  any  person  at  Norfolk  sup- 
posed to  be  capable  of  building  a  frigate.  Mr.  Fox  was  appointed  to 
build  her.  Before  he  arrived  at  Norfolk,  the  keel  had  been  spliced  & 
laid  for  the  44  gun  ship  to  be  built  there.  The  keel  was  afterwards  cut 
to  that  of  a  36  gun  ship,  on  a  new  draft  drawn  by  Mr.  Fox,  differing 
from  the  one  I  had  forwarded.  By  what  authority  the  alteration  was 
made  I  never  could  ascertain.  The  ship  so  built  was  the  Chesapeake. 
The  duties  of  naval  constructor  were  performed  by  me,  &  I  was  in  cor- 
respondence with  several  secretaries  of  the  department,  from  my  ap- 
pointment in  May  1794,  throughout  the  Washington  Administration, 
the  whole  period  of  the  elder  Mr.  Adams'  term,  &  for  a  short  time  un- 
der that  of  Mr.  Jefferson.  On  the  29th  of  January,  1800,  I  received 
an  order  from  the  secretary  of  the  navy  to  examine  the  ports  of  New 
London,  Newport,  Boston,  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  Portland  &  Wicas-set 
in  Casco  Bay,  for  the  purpose  of  selecting  the  most  suitable  place  for  a 
dockyard.  This  I  performed,  &  duly  reported  upon.  I  was  also  directed 
to  purchase  the  navy  yard  at  Philadelphia  &  to  lay  out  one  at  Wash- 
ington. These  things  were  ordered  as  I  understood,  because  the  elder 
Mr.  Adams,  the  President  of  the  United  States,  was  aware  of  Mr.  Jef- 
ferson's hostility  to  an  efficient  navy,  &  was  resolved  to  secure  all  these 
points  before  he  went  out  of  office.  On  the  I3th  of  August,  1801,  I 
received  a  letter  from  the  secretary  of  the  navy,  from  which  I  insert 
the  following."  (  Document  I. ) 

Humphreys,  continuing,  states:  "A  short  time  afterwards 
brought  me  the  following  letter  dated  October  24th,  1801."  (See  Doc- 
ument J.) 

In  the  year  1836  a  letter  addressed  by  Joshua  Humphreys  to  Josiah 
Barker,  naval  constructor  at  Charlestown  Navy  Yard,  Boston,  Massa- 
chusetts, thanks  him  for  a  cane  made  from  some  timber  taken  from 
the  Constitution  when  first  repaired  there. 

"Harve  township,  Delaware  county,  Pa. :  Dear  Sir — On  my  son 
Samuel's  return  from  Boston,  he  presented  me  with  a  very  handsome 
walking  cane,  made  out  of  a  part  of  the  frigate  Constitution  (Old  Iron- 
sides), which  was  taken  out  of  her  while  under  your  repairs.  This  cane

is  of  double  value  to  me  on  account  of  its  having  been  taken  from  one 
of  the  frigates  I  constructed  in  the  year  1794,  forty- two  years  ago,  un- 
der the  administration  of  the  ever  memorable  Washington,  and  General 
Knox,  his  then  Secretary  of  War.  The  five  frigates,  the  United 
States,  the  President  and  Constitution,  forty-fours;  the  Constitution 
and  Congress,  thirty-sixes,  were  all  built  by  the  drafts  and  molds 
sent  on  by  me  to  the  different  posts  where  they  were  to  be  built. 

"The  molds  and  drafts  for  the  Chesapeake  were  also  sent  on  by  me 
to  Mr.  Pennock,  navy  agent  at  Norfolk,  for  a  forty-four,  the  same  size 
as  the  large  frigates,  and  the  keel  laid.  But  as  there  was  no  person 
there  who  understood  the  drafts  and  molds,  a  Josiah  Fox,  an  English- 
man, who  was  in  the  mold  loft  with  me,  who  copied  some  of  the  drafts 
that  were  sent  out  from  here  to  these  different  builders,  was  sent  to 
build  her,  but  instead  of  conforming  to  the  drafts  and  instructions 
from  me,  he  curtailed  the  dimensions  of  that  ship  from  a  forty-four  to 
a  thirty-six;  but  by  whose  authority  the  alterations  were  made  I  was 
never  able  to  find  out.  This  ship  always  spoke  for  herself  as  well  as 
the  others  did.  Old  fellows  like  myself  like  to  tell  what  they  did  in 
their  younger  days,  and  I  will  say  to  you  that  I  built  the  first  frigate 
(Randolph),  and  fitted  out  the  first  fleet  under  Commodore  Hopkins, 
that  sailed  under  the  United  States,  in  the  year  1776.  The  great  mark 
of  attention  you  have  shown  men  in  sending  me  so  beautiful  a  present 
has  made  me  proud,  although  in  my  eighty-sixth  year  of  age,  a  time  of 
life  when  I  ought  to  be  more  humble.  The  cane  I  shall  leave  as  a  talis- 
man to  my  grandson  and  namesake,  son  of  my  son  Samuel,  that,  should 
he  ever  come  into  action  he  will  recollect  the  bravery  of  the  officers  of 
Old  Ironsides.  Should  you  ever  come  this  way  I  should  be  most  glad 
to  see  you,  and  spend  some  time  with  us.  I  live  in  Haverford  town- 
ship, Delaware  county,  Pa.,  seven  miles  west  of  Schuylkill  bridge.  I 
am  with  very  great  respect,  yours,  etc.,  sd.  Joshua  Humphreys.  Ad- 
dressed Josiah  Barker,  Naval  Constructor,  Charlestown,  Mass." 

These  ships,  commanded  by  gallant  captains,  manned  by  good 
crews,  their  fine  sailing  qualities,  magnificent  fighting,  the  universal 
successes  which  attended  them  in  all  their  encounters  with  England 
and  France,  caused  the  United  States  to  be  respected  abroad.  Their 
peculiar  lines  and  build  created  a  revolution  in  all  naval  vessels  which 
were  subsequently  built  by  foreign  nations.  Whether  this  Government 
has  in  its  possession  a  model  of  the  ships  is  a  matter  of  which  the 
writer  has  no  positive  knowledge,  but  the  family  had  at  its  country 
place,  Pont  Reading,  Pennsylvania,  a  model  of  some  size  of  a  ship  in 


WHO  BUILT  THE   FIRST   UNITED   STATES   NAVY? 

wood,  fashioned  by  the  hands  of  Joshua  Humphreys.  This  model  hung 
in  the  mould-loft  of  the  navy  yard  in  Philadelphia,  before  its  abandon- 
ment. It  was  sent  to  the  family  by  the  then  chief  naval  constructor 
of  the  United  States,  Mr.  John  Lenthall.  The  model  was  subsequently 
presented  to  Independence  Hall  at  Philadelphia,  where  it  is  displayed. 
On  the  back  of  the  board  to  which  the  model  is  attached  will  be  found 
this:  "J.  H.  fecit  1777." 

The  construction  of  the  frigate  United  States,  built  by  Joshua 
Humphreys,  is  typical  of  her  five  sister  ships  with  the  exception  of  the 
Chesapeake. 

The  drafts  and  moulds  for  the  six  frigates  were  closely  modeled 
after  the  best  French  practice  of  that  time  and  resembled  a  razeed  74 
gun-ship  of  the  line,  following  closely  that  curious  feature  called  the 
"tumble  home,"  an  inward  curving  of  the  sides  above  the  water  line, 
which  secured  the  much  desired  load  line  beam  without  corresponding 
bulk  above  board.  Below  their  water  line,  their  lines  were  sharp,  clean 
and  clear,  cutting  the  water  like  a  rapier,  which  in  the  hands  of  skillful 
fencer  glides  without  effort  into  the  body  of  the  opponent. 

Of  the  six  frigates  but  two  remain:  the  Constitution  at  the  Bos- 
ton Navy  Yard,  and  the  Constellation  at  Newport  News,  Rhode  Island, 
used  as  a  receiving  ship.  The  President,  under  command  of  John 
Rodgers,  had  the  honor  of  firing  the  first  shot  in  the  war  with  Eng- 
land. When  under  Decatur,  in  the  spring  of  1814,  near  New  York 
City,  she  encountered  four  English  frigates  which  attacked  her.  After 
a  terrific  contest  she  was  captured  and  taken  to  London,  England, 
where  she  is  to  this  day  exhibited  as  a  trophy.  The  United  States  won 
renown  in  action,  being  classed  with  the  Constitution  and  Constella- 
tion. Long  ago  she  was  condemned  and  broken  up.  The  Congress, 
bearing  an  honorable  part  in  the  war  of  1812,  was  blown  up  in  Hamp- 
ton Roads,  Virginia,  in  the  engagement  with  the  Confederate  ram  Mer- 
rimac,  March,  1862.  The  Chesapeake  under  Lawrence  in  the  encoun- 
ter with  the  Shannon  was  captured. 

The  following  points  should  be  noted  in  the  construction  of  the 
frigates.  Of  the  Constitution. — "Her  model  &  armament  were  copied 
by  England,  &  before  the  naval  ward  of  1812  had  closed,  as  it  was  im- 
perative to  build  something  that  could  overtake  her."  (See  pages  2  and 
3,  chap,  i,  "The  frigate  Constitution.")  It  was  important  in  construct- 
ing the  frigates  to  have  their  decks  as  far  as  practicable  from  eight 
to  nine  feet  above  the  water  line  with  a  steady  platform,  and  in  that 
respect  our  frigates  were  superior  to  the  English,  ship  for  ship.  Our 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

sailors  were  handy  in  all  kinds  of  work;  quick  to  repair  any  damage 
to  the  ship;  apt  in  gunnery,  and  improvising  sights  for  guns.  The 
frigates  were  heavily  sparred.  The  hardness  of  the  timber  and  weight, 
with  the  planking,  was  an  advantage.  The  frigates  could  go  into  ac- 
tion in  weather  which  rolled  the  gun  ports  of  the  ordinary  frigate  and 
line  of  battleship  under  water.  It  is  said  that  Nelson  remarked 
on  Commodore  Dale's  squadron,  then  in  the  Mediterranean,  "There  is 
in  the  handling  of  those  trans-atlantic  ships  a  nucleus  of  trouble  for  the 
Navy  of  Great  Britain."  (See  page  23,  chapter  I,  "The  Constitu- 
tion.") 

Can  the  advocates  for  other  claimants  to  the  building  of  the  first 
American  Navy  produce  a  letter  with  this  address,  "Constructor  of  the 
Navy  of  the  United  States?"  Can  they  produce  any  letter  showing  the 
plans  of  their  clients  for  the  construction  of  our  navy  were  approved 
and  ordered  built  by  the  authorities  then  in  power  in  preference  to 
those  of  Joshua  Humphreys?  Can  they  show,  if  their  clients  had 
plans,  why  those  of  Joshua  Humphreys  were  accepted,  and  not  theirs  ? 
Can  they  show  that'the  duties  as  related  in  this  article  were  not  per- 
formed by  Joshua  Humphreys,  but  by  them  ?  Why  were  the  plans  of 
Joshua  Humphreys  accepted  and  no  notice  made  of  other  plans  ?  If 
their  clients  designed,  moulded,  built  the  first  navy  of  the  United 
States,  why  do  not  writers  on  that  subject  mention  their  names?  Ex- 
cepting the  name  of  Joshua  Humphreys,  as  the  designer  and  builder  of 
the  navy,  no  other  names  are  mentioned.  Such  could  not  have  come 
from  design. 

The  advocate  for  one  claimant  states :  "he  introduced  into  the  ser- 
vice the  improved  mode  of  drafting  the  ships  of  war  &  likewise  the 
manner  of  making  the  moulds  &  taking  bevellings  of  the  timber,  &  he 
has  reason  to  believe  he  was  the  first  person  who  ever  directed  putting 
togeather  a  stern  frame  from  moulds  of  war  before  it  was  raised  in  the 
United  States."  The  party  states  he  arrived  at  Dumfries,  Virginia, 
October  9,  1793. 

In  connection  with  the  above  claim  re-read  the  letter  of  January 
6th,  1793,  wherein  is  stated :  "The  greatest  care  should  be  taken  in  the 
construction  of  such  ships  and  particularly  all  her  timbers  should  be 
framed  and  boulted  togeather  before  they  raised."  The  views  just 
called  to  the  reader's  attention  antedate  the  arrival  of  that  claimant 
in  this  country  over  nine  months. 

Attention  is  invited  to  two  letters  from  Mr.  Timothy  Pickering, 
Secretary  of  War,  to  Mr.  Fox,  dated  May  12,  1795 ;  also  to  one  from 

[72] 


WHO  BUILT  THE  FIRST   UNITED   STATES    NAVY? 

Ben  Stoddard,  likewise  Secretary  of  that  department,  of  August  i, 
1798,  which  letters  are  printed  on  page  106,  of  The  Journal  of  Amer- 
ican History,  First  Quarter  of  the  year  1908;  also  to  photographic 
copies  of  letters  from  Humphreys'  correspondence,  dated  August  2oth, 
1827;  also  to  the  letter  of  Humphreys  to  Secretary  Pickering,  on  learn- 
ing from  Mr.  Fox  of  that  letter.  ( Documents  K  and  L. ) 

Attention  is  directed  to  the  same  Number  of  The  Journal  of  Amer- 
ican History,  where,  on  page  108,  third  paragraph  from  the  top,  it  is 
said  that  the  "State  Department  applied  to  Fox  by  permission  of  the 
Secretary  of  war  to  draft  and  direct  the  building  of  a  frigate  to  carry 
36  guns  for  the  Dey  of  Algiers." 

In  connection  with  the  above,  there  are  herewith  submitted  photo- 
graphic copies  of  letters  dated  July  19,  August  n,  September  i,  2  and 
25 ;  and  November  6  and  10,  of  the  year  1797.  These  letters  pertain  to 
the  drafts,  building,  and  equipment  of  a  frigate,  brig,  and  schooner  for 
the  Dey  of  Algiers.  (See  accompanying  reproductions,  Documents  M, 
N,  O.  P,Q,  R,  S,T,  andU.) 

Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  Honorable  Franklin  D.  Roose- 
velt, before  a  meeting  of  the  Society  of  Naval  Architects  and  Marine 
Engineers,  held  in  New  York,  December  10  and  n,  1914,  addressed 
that  body  on  "Our  First  Frigates:  Some  Unpublished  Facts  about 
Their  Construction."  Accompanying  the  printed  address  are  draw- 
ings, illustrating,  first,  the  body  plan  of  the  frigates  Constitution, 
United  States,  Constellation  and  Congress;  elevation  and  one-half 
breadth  of  the  Constellation;  ditto  for  the  Constitution  and  United 
States.  These  copied  drawing  are  taken  from  the  originals  of  Joshua 
Humphreys  on  file  in  the  Navy  Department  of  the  United  States. 

This  article  treats  of  the  Act  of  Congress,  dated  March  27,  1794, 
which  created  a  navy  for  the  United  States  of  America  and  none  other. 
It  does  not  treat  of  the  navy  of  the  United  Colonies,  or  its  captains 
commanding  their  vessels  of  war.

JOSHUA  HUMPHREYS  TO  THOMAS  TRUXTON 
Document  U 


WHO  BUILT  THE   FIRST   UNITED   STATES   NAVY? 

year  1890,  chapter  2,  page  33;  Battles  of  the  British  Navy  from  the 
Year  1000  to  the  Year  1840,  by  Joseph  Allen,  Esq.,  of  Greenwich  Hos- 
pital, London,  England,  pages  369,  370,  371. 

From  the  last  authority  cited  is  taken  the  following :  "The  Amer- 
ican Navy  insignificant,  yet  as  a  whole  was  composed  of  large  &  heavy 
frigates.  Describes  a  44  gun  frigate ;  for  many  years  their  actual  force 
remained  a  mystery  &  would  probably  have  never  been  accurately  de- 
termined but  for  praiseworthy  patriotic  research  &  inquisitiveness  of 
the  late  Mr.  James.  The  added  four  feet  to  the  extreme  breadth  of  the 
President  (one  of  the  six  frigates  built  upon  the  plan  of  Joshua  Hum- 
phreys), makes  her  a  larger  ship  than  the  generality  of  British  743, 
her  yards  are  square,  her  masts  as  stout  as  theirs.  Some  idea  may  be 
formed  of  the  size  &  formidable  appearance  of  the  American  44  gun 
frigate.  In  scantlings  also,  that  which  the  American  acknowledge  to 
be  the  Slightest  built  of  the  frigates  (the  President)  is  at  least  equal 
to  a  British  74  of  the  largest  class."  Mr.  James  proceeds  to  prove  his 
case  and  is  successful,  winding  up  with  this  conclusion.  "In  fact  the 
American  gun  frigates  were  as  they  were  aptly  named  by  British  Offi- 
cers, line  of  battle  ships  in  disguise." 

Mr.  Upham,  the  biographer  of  Timothy  Pickering,  late  Secretary 
of  War,  in  Volume  3,  page  154,  quotes  a  letter  from  that  Secretary, 
dated  March  14,  1795,  which  is  addressed  to  President  Washington, 
and  here  condensed.  The  letter  states,  the  carved  work  for  the  frigates 
should  be  relative  to  their  names;  but  a  single  carver  here  competent 
(probably  W.  Rush,  marine  sculptor),  for  the  work  of  the  frigates 
building  at  Philadelphia,  Baltimore  and  Norfolk ;  the  captains  with  Mr. 
Humphreys  (Joshua),  represent  the  necessity  for  an  early  designation 
of  the  names  of  the  frigates;  submits  to  Washington  twenty-one  se- 
lected names  in  which  those  of  the  United  States,  Constitution,  Con- 
stellation, President  and  Congress  appear.  In  reports  of  the  Secretary 
of  War  in  January  and  June,  1797,  the  names  of  the  first  three  frigates 
mentioned  above  are  applied  to  them.  (See  American  State  Papers, 
Naval  Affairs,  Volume  i,  pages  25  and  31.)  In  the  Journals  of  the 
United  States  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  for  those  years 
those  names  are  used  in  proceedings  relative  to  the  Navy.  From  the 
above-mentioned  letter,  it  is  assumed  President  Washington  approved 
the  names  of  the  first  three  frigates,  and  probably  those  for  the  other 
two. 

Authority  for  the  above  is  a  letter  in  possession  of  the  writer  of 
the  present  article,  received  from  the  Congressional  Library,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.,  dated  February  23,  1915.

!  HE  NAME  by  which  the  Society  is  to 
be  known  is  "The  National  Historical  So- 
ciety." 

The  Society  is  to  continue  in  perpetuity. 
The  particular  business  and  objects  of

(a)  To  discover,  procure,  preserve,  and  perpetuate 
whatever  relates  to  History,  the  History  of  the  Western 
Hemisphere,  the  History  of  the  United  States  of  America 
and  their  possessions,  and  the  History  of  Families. 

(&)  To  inculcate  and  bulwark  patriotism,  in  no  par- 
tisan, sectional,  nor  narrowly  national  sense,  but  in  recog- 
nition of  man's  high  obligation  toward  civic  righteousness, 
believing  that  human  governments  are  divinely  ordained 
to  bear  the  sword  and  exercise  police  duty  for  good  against 
evil,  and  not  for  evil  against  good,  and  recognizing,  as  be- 
tween peoples  and  peoples,  that  "God  has  made  of  one 
blood  all  nations  of  men." 

(c)  To  provide  a  national  and  international  patri- 
otic clearing-house  and  historical  exchange,  promoting  by 
suitable  means  helpful  forms  of  communication  and  co-op- 
eration between  all  historical  organizations,  patriotic  or- 
ders, and  kindred  societies,  local,  state,  national,  and  inter- 


national,  that  the  usefulness  of  all  may  be  increased  and 
their  benefits  extended  toward  education  and  patriotism. 

(d)  To  promote  the  work  of  preserving  historic 
land-marks  and  marking  historic  sites. 

(e)  To  encourage  the  use  of  historical  themes  and 
the  expression  of  patriotism  in  the  Arts. 

(/)  In  the  furtherance  of  the  objects  and  purposes 
of  the  Society,  and  not  as  a  commercial  business,  to  acquire 
The  Journal  of  American  History,  and  to  publish  the  same 
as  the  official  organ  of  the  Society,  and  to  publish  or  pro- 
mote the  publication  of  whatever  else  may  seem  advisable 
in  furtherance  of  the  objects  of  the  Society. 

(g)  To  authorize  the  organization  of  members  of 
the  Society,  resident  in  given  localities,  into  associated 
branch  societies,  or  chapters  of  the  parent  Society,  and  to 
promote  by  all  other  suitable  means  the  purpose,  objects, 
and  work  of  the  Society.

MABEL  THACHER  ROSEMARY  WASHBURN 

:HERE  IS  NO  AMERICAN,  with  the  possible  excep- 
tion of  Lincoln,  whose  name  today  means  so  much 
to  his  countrymen  as  does  that  of  Washington.  The 
energies  of  his  enemies  during  his  lifetime  were  un- 
able to  weaken  the  bond  which  existed  between  the 
_  supreme  leader  of  our  struggle  for  independence  and 

the  people  who  were  freed  thereby  ;  and  even  the  impossible  tradition 
which  has,  to  a  certain  extent,  displaced  the  real  Washington  in  our 

[241] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

minds  has  but  placed  a  mist  of  exaltation  about  him  as  a  halo.  Wash- 
ington, the  man,  we  know  but  vaguely.  Washington,  the  patriot,  the 
soldier,  the  hero,  lives  forever  in  the  visions  of  the  people  whose  dream 
of  liberty  he  made  come  true. 

Yet,  curiously,  few  Americans  have  any  knowledge  of  the  historic 
past  of  the  race  that  produced  George  Washington.  Most  of  us  know 
that  it  was  his  family  Coat-of-Arms  which  gave  the  motif  for  the 
American  Flag.  Even  those  of  us  who  are  uninterested  in  heraldry, 
perhaps  considering  the  subject  itself  as  outside  the  scope  of  interest 
for  citizens  of  a  Republic,  can  hardly  avoid  the  conclusion  that  "the 
Father  of  his  Country"  possessed  a  right  to  Arms,  that  he  exercised 
that  right,  and  that  the  founders  of  the  Nation  bestowed  upon  the  Ar- 
morial Achievements  of  her  First  Citizen  the  supreme  honor  in  their 
gift. 

During  Washington's  life,  the  matter  of  his  English  ancestry  was 
of  sufficient  interest  to  evoke  enquiries  from  Sir  Isaac  Heard,  Garter 
King-of-Arms,  who,  in  1791,  wrote  to  the  President  for  datd  on  his  lin- 
eage. He  learned  of  the  American  ancestry  of  the  family,  which  began 
with  two  brothers,  John  and  Lawrence  Washington,  who  came  to  Vir- 
ginia in  1657. 

.The  Garter  King-of-Arms,  however,  was  satisfied  with  merely  cir- 
cumstantial evidence — or,  at  any  rate,  he  apparently  did  not  pursue  his 
research  after  finding  in  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of  Northamptonshire, 
1618,  a  John  and  Lawrence  Washington,  sons  of  Lawrence  Washing- 
ton of  Sulgrave.  These  two  brothers  could  not  possibly  have  been  the 
Virginia  colonists,  for,  according  to  the  Visitation,  they  would  have 
been  men  of  over  sixty  years  of  age  in  1657,  the  year  when  the  Vir- 
ginians came  over ;  and  the  latter,  it  is  known,  were  young  men  on  their 
arrival. 

The  error  in  identification  continued  to  be  repeated  and  believed 
until  1863,  when  an  article  calling  attention  to  the  inconsistencies  in 
the  theory  was  written  for  The  New  England  Historical  and  Genealog- 
ical Register  by  Jsaac  J.  Greenwood,  Junior.  Three  years  later,  Colonel 
Joseph  L.  Chester  contributed  a  paper  to  The  Herald  and  Genealogist, 
a  London  publication,  which  was  later  reprinted  in  two  American  mag- 
azines, this  article  also  referring  to  the  erroneous  supposition  first  haz- 
arded by  Sir  Isaac  Heard.  Colonel  Chester  proved  conclusively  that 
the  John  Washington,  son  of  Lawrence  of  Sulgrave,  far  from  being  the 
John  Washington  of  Virginia,  was  Sir  John  Washington  of  Thrapston  ; 
that  both  of  his  wives  died  in  England,  the  second  surviving  her  hus- 

[242] 


WASHINGTON  S   OLD   WORLD   ANCESTRY 

band.  It  is  known  that  John  Washington  of  Virginia  was  twice  mar- 
ried, but  that  his  first  wife  died  in  Virginia,  and  that  his  second  wife, 
Ann  Pope,  who  was  co-executor  of  his  will,  was  living  in  Virginia  at 
his  death  and  after.  Sir  John  of  Thrapston  had  children,  Mordaunt, 
John,  and  Philip.  John  of  Virginia  had  John,  Lawrence,  and  John.  In 
addition  to  this  array  of  facts,  Colonel  Chester  made  it  clear  that  Law- 
rence Washington,  the  brother  of  Sir  John  of  Thrapston,  was  a  clergy- 
man of  the  Established  Church  of  England,  and  Lawrence  Washing- 
ton, the  Virginia  colonist,  brother  of  John  of  Virginia,  was  not  a 
clergyman. 

But  these  demolishers  of  the  false  theory  failed  to  offer  any  evi- 
dence in  support  of  a  true  theory.  In  1889  Henry  F.  Waters  published 
a  paper  in  The  New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register, 
setting  forth  the  results  of  researches  made  by  him  in  England  on  the 
Washington  ancestry.  He  found,  first  of  all,  that  when  Lawrence 
Washington  died  in  Virginia,  although  his  will  was  proved  there,  let- 
ters of  administration  on  his  property  were  granted  in  England,  May, 
1677,  to  Edmund  Jones,  and  in  the  document  it  was  stated  that  Law- 
rence Washington,  deceased  "in  partibus  transmarinis,"  was  formerly 
of  Luton,  Bedfordshire,  England. 

The  next  discovery  was  of  a  bond  of  John  Dagnall,  of  Grove,  in 
the  Parish  of  Tring,  Hertfordshire,  and  William  Roades  of  Middle 
Claydon,  Buckinghamshire,  dated  29  January,  1649-50,  for  adminis- 
tration of  the  property  of  Andrew  Knowling  of  Tring,  deceased,  the 
administration  to  continue  during  the  minority  of  Lawrence  Washing- 
ton, "the  younger,"  who  was  stated  to  be  at  that  time  fourteen  years 
old;  the  bond  being  also  for  their  guardianship  of  this  same  Lawrence. 
Tring  is  about  twelve  miles  from  Luton,  where  it  had  been  shown 
Lawrence  Washington  of  Virginia  had  lived.  The  will  of  Andrew 
Knowling  was  then  examined.  It.  was  made  13  January,  1649-50.  In 
it  is  the  following:  "Item  I  will,  give  and  bequeath  unto  Lawrance 
Washington  the  younger  (my  godsonne)  All  my  freehould  Landes  and 
Tenemtes  whatsoeu1"  lying  and  being  within  the  pish  of  Tring  aforesaid 
or  else  where  within  the  Realm  of  England.  To  haue  and  to  hould  the 
same  to  him  and  his  heires  for  euer.  Item  I  give  and  bequeath  unto 
Amphilis  Washington  my  daughter  in  lawe  (&  mother  of  the  said  Law- 
rance, the  some  of  Threescore  poundes  of  Curr1  mony  of  England  to  be 
paid  her  within  six  months  after  my  decease." 

Further  on  in  the  will,  he  says:  "Item  I  give  and  bequeath  unto 
John  Washington,  William  Washington,  Elizabeth  Washington,  Mar- 

[243] 


Tin;  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

garett  Washington  &  Martha  Washington  (children  of  the  said  Am- 
philis  Washington  my  daughter  in  Lawe)  The  some  of  Eight  and 
Twenty  poundes  a  peece  of  Curr1  mony  to  be  paid  to  them  att  theire 
seu'all  &  respective  Ages  of  One  and  Twenty  years,"  etc.  He  makes 
his  Godson,  Lawrence  Washington,  the  younger,  his  Executor,  with 
John  Dagnall,  John  Lake,  William  Roades,  and  Elizabeth  Fitzherbert 
as  Administrators. 

Amphilis  Washington,  whom  Andrew  Knowling  calls  his  daugh- 
ter-in-law, could  hardly  have  been  to  him  in  the  relationship  we  should 
understand  by  the  term — wife  of  his  son — or  her  name  would  have 
been  Knowling  and  not  Washington.  She  was  evidently  his  step- 
daughter. In  his  will  he  speaks  of  Elizabeth  Fitzherbert  also  as  his 
daughter-in-law,  of  William  Roades  as  his  son-in-law,  and  leaves  a  be- 
quest to  the  two  daughters  of  Susan  Billing,  his  deceased  daughter-in- 
law,  whose  husband  was  John  Billing,  also  deceased  at  the  time  of  An- 
drew Knowlton's  will.  He  gives  fifty  shillings  to  Susan  Emmerton  of 
Tring,  but  does  not  mention  her  relationship,  if  any  existed,  to  him. 

It  seems  evident  that  Andrew  Knowling  had  married  a  widow, 
whose  former  married  name  was  Roades,  and  that  her  children  (and, 
consequently,  his  step-children)  were  William  Roades,  Amphilis  Wash- 
ington, Elizabeth  Fitzherbert,  and  Susanna  Billing. 

But  who  was  the  husband  of  Amphilis  Washington,  and  the  father 
of  Lawrence  and  John  Washington  of  Virginia?  From  Lawrence  be- 
ing called  "the  younger"  it  seemed  probable  that  his  father  had  borne 
the  same  name.  The  Parish  Registers  at  Tring  were  searched.  The 
register  of  1634  was  entitled:  "A  Regester  Booke  conteaning  all  the 
names  hereafter  Named  either  Baptized,  Married  or  Buried.  Bought 
by  Maister  Andreu  Knolinge,  Richard  Hunton,"  and  others  who  are 
named  as  Churchwardens.  Under  the  baptismal  records  appeared  the 
following: 

"Crisames  sene  our  Ladie  daye  Anno  Dom  1635  Layarance  sonn 
of  Layarance  Washington  June  the  xxiiid': 

"Baptized  sene  our  Ladie  daye  Anno  dom  1636  Elizabeth  da  of 
Mr.  Larrance  Washington  Aug  xvii  " 

"Baptized  sene  Mickellmas  daye  Anno  dom  1641  William  sonn  of 
Mr  Larrance  Washenton  baptized  the  xiiijth  daij" 

We  have  seen  that  Lawrence  Washington  was  fourteen  years  old 
in  January,  1649-50,  when  John  Dagnall  and  William  Roades  were 
bonded  as  his  guardians  and  as  Andrew  Knowling's  administrators. 
This  would  make  his  birth  about  1635,  and  his  baptism  evidently  oc- 
curred soon  after  his  birth. 

[244] 


WASHINGTON  S   OLD   WORLD   ANCESTRY 

The  baptisms  of  John,  Margaret,  and  Martha  Washington,  the 
other  children  of  Lawrence  and  Amphilis  Washington,  named  in  An- 
drew Knowling's  will,  were  not  found.  John  was  probably  the  eldest 
son,  for  in  February,  1655-56,  there  were  issued  to  him  Letters  of  Ad- 
ministration on  the  estate  of  his  mother,  Amphilis  Washington,  whose 
burial  on  19  January,  1654-55,  was  recorded  in  the  Registers  of  Tring. 
From  the  baptismal  records  quoted  above  we  have  seen  that  Lawrence 
was  born  in  1635,  Elizabeth  in  1636,  and  William  in  1641.  John  could 
hardly  have  been  under  twenty-one  when  in  1656  he  became  his 
mother's  administrator,  which  would  make  his  birth  at  least  as  early  as 
1634,  since  his  brother,  Lawrence,  was  born  in  1635.  He  was,  there- 
fore, at  least  twenty-three  years  old  when  he  sailed  for  Virginia,  and 
Lawrence  was  then  twenty-two. 

From  the  fact  that  her  son,  rather  than  her  husband,  administered 
Amphilis  Washington's  estate,  it  is  apparent  that  she  was  a  widow  at 
the  time  of  her  death.  The  identity  of  her  husband,  father  of  the  first 
Virginian  Washingtons,  was  established  as  follows.  As  noted  above, 
Andrew  Knowling,  the  step-father  of  Amphilis  Washington,  in  his  will 
bequeathed  a  legacy  to  the  daughters  of  another  step-daughter,  Susan, 
wife  of  John  Billing.  A  document  was  found,  wherein  John  Dagnall, 
brother-in-law  to  the  deceased  Susan  Billing,  was  bonded  as  guardian 
to  Susan  Billing's  daughters — the  daughters  who  were  legatees  in  An- 
drew Knowling's  will.  With  this  bond  was  discovered  a  little  memo- 
randum, written  in  Latin  on 'a  small  piece  of  paper.  It  was  signed 
"Laurentio  Washington  in  Art:  ma-gro  Surro-g:  Offilis"  The  little 
document  showed  that  Lawrence  Washington,  Master  of  Arts,  was 
at  its  date,  29  January,  1649-50,  acting  as  Surrogate  in  the  Archdea- 
con's Court  at  Whethampsted,  and  that  he  was  almost  certainly  a 
clergyman,  since  the  office  of  Surrogate  in  this  Court, — an  ecclesiasti- 
cal one, — was  scarcely  ever  held  at  that  time  by  a  layman.  He  appeared 
at  the  Whethampsted  Court  in  connection  with  the  bonding  of  John 
Dagnall  as  guardian  to  Susan  Billing's  daughters, — Susan  Billing  be- 
ing Andrew  Knowling's  step-daughter,  and  the  sister  of  Amphilis 
Washington.  It  seems  clear  that  this  Lawrence  Washington  was  the 
husband  of  Amphilis  Washington,  the  father  of  Lawrence  "the 
younger,"  and  consequently  the  brother-in-law  of  Susan  Billing  regard- 
ing whose  daughters'  guardianship  he  appeared  at  the  Archdeacon's 
Court. 

The  only  Lawrence  Washington  of  whom  any  record  was  found, 
who  was  of  suitable  age  to  have  been  in  1649-50  the  father  of  a  boy 

[245] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

some  fourteen  years  old,  as  was  Lawrence,  "the  younger,"  at  this  time, 
and  who  held  the  Degree  of  Master  of  Arts,  and  was  a  clergyman,  was 
the  Lawrence  Washington,  son  of  Lawrence  Washington  of  Sulgrave. 
This  was  the  man  who  had  appeared  in  the  Northamptonshire  Heralds' 
Visitation  of  1618,  and  whom  Sir  Isaac  Heard,  Garter  King-of-Arms, 
and  later  genealogist,  assumed  to  be  the  Virginia  colonist,  who  came 
over  with  his  brother,  John,  in  1657.  We  have  seen  already  that  the 
John  Washington,  son  of  Lawrence  of  Sulgrave,  was  not  the  Virginia 
colonist,  but  was  Sir  John  Washington  of  Thrapston,  who  lived  and 
died  in  England. 

Here,  then,  largely  as  a  result  of  Mr.  Waters'  indefatigable  and 
scientific  -researches,  was  a  chain  of  excellent  circumstantial  evidence 
which  seemed  to  establish  as  all  but  absolutely  proven  the  fact  that 
John  and  Lawrence  Washington  of  Virginia  (the  former  the  great- 
grandfather of  George  Washington)  were  sons  of  Reverend  Lawrence 
Washington,  son  of  Lawrence  of  Sulgrave,  and  whose  ancestry  for 
several  generations  back  was  recorded  in  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of 
Northamptonshire  of  1618.  Yet,  convincing  as  were  the  reasoning  and 
array  of  evidence,  there  lacked  the  touch  of  finality  which  should  for- 
ever put  the  subject  of  Washington's  English  ancestry  beyond  ques- 
tion. 

But  in  1892  Mr.  Worthington  Ford  made  a  wonderful  discovery. 
In  the  archives  of  the  State  Department  at  Washington  was  the  will  of 
Mrs.  Martha  Hayward  of  Stafford  County,  Virginia,  which  was 
proved  December,  1697.  In  it  she  mentions  her  "two  cousins  John  & 
Augustine  the  sons  of  my  cozn  Lawrence  Washington  of  Westmore- 
land County,"  her  "cozen  Lawrence  Washington  son  of  Mr  John 
Washington  of  Westmoreland  County,"  "cozn  Nathaniel  Washington 
son  of  the  said  John  Washington,"  "Cozn"  Hen:  Washington,  son  of 
the  said  John  Washington,"  and  "kinsman  Mr  John  Washington  of 
Stafford  County,"  She  also  says :  "Item  it  is  my  will  and  desire  that  my 
Exectrs  with  all  Conven1  speed  send  to  England  to  my  Eldest  sister  Mrs 
Elizabeth  Rumbold  a  Tunne  of  good  weight  of  Tobacco,  &  the  same  I 
give  to  her  and  her  heirs  forever."  She  bequeaths  a  like  legacy  to  "my 
other  sister  Mrs  Marg4  Talbut." 

The  "Cozens"  referred  to  in  her  will  were  really  nephews  and 
grand-nephews,  for  Martha  Hayward  was  before  her  marriage  Mar- 
tha Washington,  and  she  was  the  sister  of  John  and  Lawrence  Wash- 
ington, the  Virginia  immigrants. 

In  his  will,  made  "21st  of  7ber  1675"  and  proved  "Ye  nth  Jana: 

[246] 


WASHINGTON  S   OLD   WORLD   ANCESTRY 

1677,''  John  Washington,  the  Virginia  colonist,  says:  "Item  I  doe 
giue  unto  my  sister  Marthaw  Washington  ten  pounds  out  of  ye  mony 
I  haue  in  England  wl  soeuer  else  she  shall  be  oweing  to  me  for  trans- 
porteing  herselfe  into  this  Country — &  a  year's  accommodation  after 
her  Comeing  in  &  four  thousand  pounds  of  tobb00  and  Caske." 

It  will  be  recalled  that  in  the  will  of  Andrew  Knowling  Elizabeth 
Washington  was  the  first-named  daughter  of  Amphilis  Washington, 
and  Martha  the  last-named  of  the  daughters. 

Lawrence  Washington  of  Sulgrave,  father  of  Reverend  Lawrence 
Washington,  had  among  other  children  a  daughter,  Margaret,  who 
married,  first,  Samuel  Thornton,  and,  second  —  Sandys.  Samuel 
Thornton's  will,  made  and  proved  in  1666,  had  for  two  of  its  witnesses, 
"Eliza:  Mewce,"  and  "Margaret  Talbott."  It  was  proved  by  "Dame 
Margaret  Sandis  als  Thornton  his  Relict  &  executrix  named  in  the 
will."  In  1673  Dame  Margaret  Sandys  made  her  will,  which  was 
proved  in  1675,  and  in  it  she  makes  a  bequest  to  "my  dear  sister 
Mewce,"  while  "Elizabeth  Mewce"  appears  as  a  witness.  In  1676 
"Elizabeth  Mewce  in  the  Co.  of  Middlesex,  widow,"  made  her  will 
which  was  proved  the  same  year.  She  refers  to  her  sister,  "the  Lady 
Washington,"  her  uncle,  Robert  Washington,  her  sister,  "Mrs.  Alice 
Sandys,"  her  sister,  "Mrs.  Frances  Gargrave,"  several  other  relatives, 
and  bequeaths  five  pounds  to  "Mrs.  Elizabeth  Rumball,  my  niece.'' 

As  we  have  just  seen,  Martha  (Washington)  Hay  ward,  sister  of 
John  and  Lawrence  Washington  of  Virginia,  calls  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Rumbold  her  eldest  sister.  Elizabeth  Mewce  was,  therefore,  aunt  to 
the  Virginia  immigrants,  as  were  Dame  Margaret  Sandys,  Mrs.  Alice 
Sandys,  Mrs.  Frances  Gargrave,  and  Mrs.  Margaret  Talbott.  As 
noted  above,  Margaret  Talbott  was,  with  Elizabeth  Mewce,  a  witness 
to  the  will  of  Samuel  Thornton,  the  first  husband  of  Dame  Margaret 
Sandys,  who  was  born  Margaret  Washington;  and  Mrs.  Martha 
(Washington)  Hay  ward  in  her  will  refers  to  her  sister,  Mrs.  Margaret 
"Talbut." 

There  remains,  therefore,  but  to  prove  that  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Mewce, 
Dame  Margaret  Sandys,  Mrs.  Alice  Sandys,  and  Mrs.  Frances  Gar- 
grave, — whose  niece,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Rumbold,  was  the  eldest  sister  of 
Martha  (Washington)  Hay  ward  and  her  brothers,  John  and  Lawrence 
Washington  of  Virginia, — were  the  daughters  of  Lawrence  Washing- 
ton of  Sulgrave,  whose  lineage  is  traced  back  in  the  Northampton- 
shire Visitation  of  1618. 

In  this  Visitation,  Lawrence  Washington  of  Sulgrave  and  his 

[247] 


THE  JOtRXAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

wife,  Margaret  Butler,  are  recorded  as  having  the  following  children: 
William,  John,  Richard,  Lawrence,  Thomas,  George,  "Elizabeth,  ux. 
Francis  Mewce  of  Holdenby,"  "Joane,  ux.  Francis  Pill  of  Maidf ord,  co. 
Xorhampton,"  Margaret,  Alice,  Frances.  Here  then  we  have  Law- 
rence (the  Reverend  Lawrence  Washington,  M.  A.,  father  of  the  Vir- 
ginia immigrants)  ;  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Mewce  (whose  niece,  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Rumbold,  was  sister  to  the  immigrants)  ;  Margaret  (Dame  Mar- 
garet Sandys,  as  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Mewce 
was  her  sister)  ;  Alice  (Mrs.  Alice  Sandys,  as  showrn  by  the  will  of  her 
sister,  Mrs.  Mewce) ',  Frances  (Mrs.  Frances  Gargrave,  as  in  this  same 
will). 

In  the  Visitation  it  is  shown  also  that  Lawrence  Washington  of 
Sulgrave,  grandfather  of  the  immigrants,  had  one  sister,  Elizabeth, 
and  one  brother,  Robert  Washington.  This  was  the  "Uncle  Robert 
Washington,"  mentioned  in  the  will  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Mewce.  Dame 
Margaret  Sandys,  in  her  will,  also  speaks  of  her  uncle,  Robert  Wash- 
ington. 

The  ancestry  of  George  Washington,  down  to  the  first  of  his  line 
in  America,  is  traced  to  the  Visitation  of  Northamptonshire,  made  by 
the  Heralds  in  1618,  for  seven  generations.  It  begins  with  John  Wash- 
ington of  Tuwhitfield,  Lancashire,  w:ho  lived  probably  in  the  middle 
part  of  the  Fifteenth  Century.  His  son,  Robert,  lived  at  Warton,  Lan- 
cashire. He  married — Westfield,  and  had  issue,  John  Washington. 
The  latter  was  also  of  Warton.  His  wife  was  Margaret,  daughter  of 
Robert  Kitson.  Her  brother  was  a  Knight,  Sir  Thomas  Kitson  of 
London. 

Lawrence  Washington,  son  of  John  and  Margaret  (Kitson) 
Washington,  removed  to  Northamptonshire.  He  was  evidently  en- 
gaged in  the  profession  of  trie  law,  as  the  Visitation  records  him  as  of 
Gray's  Inn,  one  of  the  Inns-of -Court  of  London.  He  became  Mayor  of 
Northampton.  In  1538  or  1.539  he  received  a  grant  of  the  Manor  of 
Sulgrave  in  Northamptonshire.  This  land  had  belonged  to  the'  Priory 
of  Saint  Andrew,  which  had  been  seized  by  Henry  the  Eighth.  Law- 
rence Washington  received  at  the  same  time  other  land  which  had  been 
the  Priory's — in  Sulgrave  Woodford,  Stotesbury,  and  Colton.  He  had 
also  other  land  in  Sulgrave  which  belonged  to  the  Priories  of  Canons 
Ashby  and  Catesby.  His  second  wife  was  Amy,  the  daughter  of  Rob- 
ert Pargiter  of  Gretworth,  Gentleman.  She  died  6  October,  1564.  Her 
husband  made  his  will  18  October,  1581,  and  it  was  proved  n  Feb- 
ruary, 1584-85.

WASHINGTON  S   OLD    WORLD   ANCESTRY 

Lawrence  Washington,  and  his  wife  were  buried  in  Saint  James' 
Church  at  Sulgrave,  and  were  commemorated  by  a  stone  with  brass 
plates,  on  one  of  which  were  the  Washington  Arms.  There  were  also 
effigies  of  Lawrence  and  Amy  Washington,  and  of  their  eleven  chil- 
dren, and  an  inscription  relating  the  deaths  of  the  husband  and  wife. 

A  son  of  the  foregoing  was  Robert  Washington  of  Sulgrave.  He 
sold  Sulgrave  Manor  to, his  nephew,  Lawrence  Makepeace,  in  1610. 
The  latter's  son,  Abel,  sold  the  Manor  to  Edward  Plant.  He  disposed 
of  it  to  the  Reverend  Moses  Hodges,  to  whose  descendants  it  passed 
down,  and  by  them  is  owned  at  the  present  time.  Sulgrave  was  listed  in 
Domesday  Book,  and  in  1330  was  recorded  as  belonging  to  the  Prior 
of  St.  Andrew. 

Robert  Washington's  first  wife  was  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Rob- 
ert Light  of  Radway,  Warwickshire.  He  made  his  will  7  February, 
1619-20,  and  it  was  proved  the  following  January.  His  eldest  son  was 
Lawrence  Washington.  After  the  sale  of  Sulgrave  Manor  by  his 
father  he  removed  to  Brington,  a  few  miles  from  Northampton.  It 
was  through  the  marriage  of  Lawrence  Washington  to  Margaret  But- 
ler that  royal  ancestry  belonged  to  the  man  who,  above  all  others,  made 
successful  America's  revolt  against  the  King  of  England.  The  outline 
of  Washington's  Butler  descent,  and  his  lineage  in  the  other  notable 
families  brought  into  his  ancestry  through  the  marriage  of  Lawrence 
Washington  to  Margaret  Butler,  will  appear  below. 

The  marriage  took  place  in  Saint  Leonard's  Church,  Aston-le- 
Walls,  Northamptonshire,  3  August,  1588.  One  of  their  children  was 
Thomas  Washington,  who  was  a  page  of  Prince  Charles,  later  King 
Charles  I,  and  died  in  Madrid  in  1623,  while  attending  the  Prince  on 
the  latter's  romantic  visit  to  Spain  to  see  and  woo  for  himself  the  Span- 
ish Infanta. 

Lawrence  Washington  died  13  December,  1616,  and  was  buried 
in  the  Church  of  the  Blessed  Virgin  at  Brington,  where  a  memorial 
stone  tablet  may  still  be  seen,  recording  his  death,  and  emblazoning  the 
Washington  Coat-Armor  with  the  Arms  of  his  wife,  Margaret  Butler, 
impaled.  In  the  church  is  also  a  tablet  recording  the  deaths  of  Robert 
Washington,  the  brother  of  Lawrence,  and  Robert's  wife,  Elizabeth. 
Fac-similies  of  these  two  stones  were  in  1860  presented  to  Charles 
Sumner  by  Earl  Spencer.  The  Spencer  estate  of  Althorp  is  near  Bring- 
ton, and  the  family's  parish-church  is  at  Brington,  many  Spencer  me- 
morials being  therein.  Mr.  Sumner  gave  the  stones  to  the  State  of 
Massachusetts,  and  they  are  now  in  the  State  House  at  Boston.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Lawrence  Washington,  son  of  Lawrence  and  Margaret  (Butler) 
Washington,  the  father  of  the  Virginia  colonist,  was  matriculated  at 
Brasenose  College,  Oxford,  2  November,  1621,  according  to  the  Col- 
lege Registers,  but  it  is  said  he  entered  Brasenose  about  two  years  be- 
fore. In  1623  he  received  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and  later 
became  a  Fellow  of  Brasenose.  He  served  as  Lector  of  the  College 
from  1627  to  1632,  and  was  appointed  a  Proctor  of  the  University  20 
August,  1631.  In  March,  1632-33,  he  became  Rector  of  Purleigh,  in 
Essex.  Sometime  after  this  he  married  Amphilis  Roades. 

When  the  Civil  War  between  the  King's  Party  and  the  Parlia- 
mentarians broke  out  the  Washingtons  seem  to  have  been  without 
exception  ardently  loyal  to  the  King.  Lawrence  Washington  suffered 
for  his  convictions  as  to  patriotism,  for  in  November,  1643,  he  was 
ejected  from  his  rectorship  by  order  of  the  Parliament.  Partisan  feel- 
ing in  those  days,  as  in  every  age,  excited  men's  prejudices  to  fever 
heat.  In  the  eyes  of  the  extremists  among  the  Cavaliers  the  Parliamen- 
tarians,— practically  all  Puritans, — were  disloyal  citizens  both  as  to 
Church  and  State.  Their  peculiar  religious  views  and  customs  were  re- 
garded as  hypocritic  cant.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Puritans  in  many 
cases  believed  all  King's  Men  to  be  dissolute  in  morals  and  conscience- 
less as  to  religion.  Their  fidelity  to  the  Throne  was  called  time-serv- 
ing sycophancy;  their  conformity  to  the  State  Church  was  but  a  blind 
following  of  forms  and  ceremonies.  Both  sides  were  bitter  and  un- 
charitable, and  it  was  but  natural  that  they  should  be  so. 

So  it  is  with  understanding  of  this  factional  spirit  of  the  times 
that  we  must  read  the  following  accusation  of  Lawrence  Washington, 
the  charge  against  him  being  utterly  denied  by  other  contemporary  ac- 
counts. In  1643,  tne  Year  °f  his  expulsion  from  Purleigh  Church,  a 
violent  diatribe  was  published  by  one  John  White  and  printed  by  order 
of  the  Parliament.  It  was  entitled  "The  First  Century  of  Scandalous, 
Malignant  Priests  Made  and  Admitted  into  Benefices  by  the  Prelates 
in  Whose  Hands  the  Ordination  of  Ministers  and  Government  of 
the  Church  hath  been."  In  this  book  was  the  following: 

"The  Benefice  of  Lawrence  Washington,  Rector  of  Purleigh  in 
the  County  of  Essex,  is  sequested,  for  that  he  is  a  common  f requenter 
of  Ale-houses,  not  onlley  himselfe  sitting  dayly  tippling  there,  but  also 
incouraging  others  in  that  beastly  vice,  and  hath  been  often  drunk,  and 
hath  said,  That  the  Parliament  have  more  Papists  belonging  to  them  in 
their  Annies  than  the  King  had  about  him  or  in  his  Army,  and  that  the 
Parliaments  Armie  did  more  hurt  than  the  Cavaliers  and  that  they  did 

[250] 


WASHINGTON  S    OLD    WORLD   ANCESTRY 

none  at  all;  and  hath  published  them  to  be  Traitors,  that  lend  to  or  as- 
sist the  Parliament." 

As  an  offset  to  the  foregoing  is  this,  from  the  contemporary  "Suf- 
ferings of  the  Clergy,"  by  John  Walker,  published  in  London,  1714. 

"Purleigh,  R.,  one  of  the  Livings  in  these  Parts : 

"To  which  he  had  been  Admitted  in  March,  1632,  and  was  Se- 
questered from  in  the  Year  1643,  which  was  not  thought  Punishment 
enough  for  him,  and  therefore  he  was  also  put  into  the  Century,  to  be 
transmitted  to  Posterity,  as  far  as  that  Infamous  Pamphlet  could  con- 
tribute to  it,  for  a  Scandalous,  as  well  as  a  Malignant  Minister,  upon 
these  weighty  Considerations.  That  he  had  said  'the  Parliament  have 
more  Papists  belonging  to  them  in  their  Armies,  than  the  King  had 
about  him,  or  in  his  Army,  and  that  the  Parliament's  Army  did  more 
Hurt  than  the  Cavaliers,  and  that  They  did  none  at  all,  and  had  Pub- 
lished them  to  be  Traytors,  that  lent  to,  or  assisted  the  Parliament.' 

"It  is  not  to  be  supposed,  that  such  Malignant  could  be  less  than 
a  Drunkard,  and  accordingly  he  is  charged  with  frequent  Commissions 
of  that  Sin,  and  not  only  so,  but  with  Encouraging  others  in  that  Beast- 
ly Vice.  Altho'  a  Gentleman  (a  Justice  of  the  Peace  in  this  County) 
who  Personally  knew  him,  assures  me,  that  he  took  him  to  be  a  Worthy, 
Pious  Man,  that  as  often  as  he  was  in  his  Company,  he  always  appeared 
a  very  Modest,  Sober  Person,  and  that  he  was  Recommended  as  such, 
by  several  Gentlemen,  who  were  acquainted  with  him  before  he  himself 
was.  Adding  withal  that  he  was  a  Loyal  Person,  and  had  one  of  the 
best  Benefices  in  these  Parts,  and  this  zvas  the  ONLY  Cause  of  his  Ex- 
pulsion, as  I  verily  believe.  After  which,  he  subjoyns,  that  another 
Ancient  Gentleman  of  his  Neighborhood,  agrees  with  him  in  this  Ac- 
count. Mr.  Washington  was  afterwards  permitted  to  Have,  and  Con- 
tinue upon  a  Living  in  these  Parts,  but  it  was  such  a  Poor  and  Miser- 
able one,  that  it  was  always  with  Difficulity  that  anyone  was  pur- 
suaded  to  Accept  of  it.*' 

A  letter,  preserved  in  the  Bodleian  Library  and  written  by  Henry 
Ayloffe,  says  of  the  Rector  of  Purleigh:  "I  doe  not  remember  that 
ever  I  knew  or  heard  of  Mr.  Washington  after  he  had  been  sequestered, 
but  there  was  then  one  Mr.  Roberts  a  neighbor  of  mine  who  was  owner 
and  patron  of  a  parish  so  small  that  nobody  would  accept  of  his  church 
(but  with  difficulty)  and  Mr.  Roberts  entertained  Mr.  Washington, 
where  he  was  suffered  quietly  to  preach.  I  have  heard  him  and  took 
him  to  be  a  very  worthy  pious  man.  I  have  been  in  his  company  there, 
and  he  appeared  a  very  modest  sober  person,  and  I  heard  him  recom- 

[251] 


THE  JOURXAI.  OF  AMKKICAX  HISTORY 

mended  as  such-  by  several  gentlemen  who  knew  him  before  I  did.  He 
was  a  loyal  person,  and  had  one  of  the  best  benefices  in  these  parts, 
and  this  was  the  only  cause  of  this  expulsion  as  I  verily  believe." 

It  was  this  letter  which  was  evidently  the  basis  for  the  statements 
in  the  "Sufferings  of  the  Clergy,"  quoted  above.  Mr.  Waters,  who 
found  the  letter,  was  able  to  make  out  the  name  of  Braxted  in  the  last 
paragraph,  which  was  only  partly  decipherable,  and  this  makes  it  very 
probable  that  Braxted  Parva,  in  Essex,  was  the  parish  to  which  Law- 
rence Washington  retired  after  leaving  Purleigh.  Thomas  Roberts 
owned  this  living,  which  was  a  very  small  and  unimportant  one.  But 
in  the  Parish  Registers  of  All  Saints'  Church  at  Maiden,  in  Essex,  is 
recorded  the  death  in  1652  of  "Mr.  Lawrence  Washington,"  who  is 
believed  to  have  been  the  Reverend  Lawrence  Washington,  former 
Rector  of  Purleigh. 

The  above-quoted  letter  was  written  by  Henry  Ayloffe.  He  was 
undoubtedly  of  the  family  of  Sir  Benjamin  Ayloffe  of  Braxted,  whose 
wife  was  Martha  Tyrell.  Her  mother  was  Martha  Washington,  the 
daughter  of  Sir  Lawrence  Washington.  He  was  the  son  of  Lawrence 
Washington,  whose  father,  Lawrence,  was  the  great-grandfather  of 
the  Rector  of  Purleigh.  The  latter  was,  therefore,  in  the  relation  to 
Martha  Tyrell,  wife  of  Sir  Benjamin  Ayloffe,  of  second  cousin  once 
removed. 

As  has  been  seen,  the  Reverend  Lawrence  Washington  married 
Amphilis  Roades.  She  died  in  January,  1654-55.  Their  children 
were:  John  and  Lawrence,  the  Virginia  immigrants;  Elizabeth,  who 
married — Rumball  or  Rumbold;  William;  Margaret,  who  married— 
Talbott ;  and  Martha,  who  followed  her  two  brothers  to  America,  mar- 
ried Nicholas  (  ?)  Hayward,  and  died  in  1697. 

Before  tracing  the  line  of  George  Washington's  ancestry  in 
America,  it  will  be  of  interest  to  follow  back  his  lineage  from  Mar- 
garet Butler,  the  grandmother  of  John  Washington,  the  first  of  the 
line  here,  for  she  brought  to  the  Washingtons,  to  be  transmitted  down 
to  the  greatest  of  American  patriots,  the  strain  of  blood  royal. 

The  Plantagenet  dynasty  descended  from  the  Counts  of  Anjou  in 
France,  whose  ancestry  begins  with  Ingelgerius.  He  was  father  of 
Fulk  the  Red,  who  was  Count  or  Viscount  of  Anjou.  He  was  succeeded 
by  his  son,  Fulk  the  Good,  who  reigned  from  941  or  942  to  about  960. 
The  latter's  son,  Geoffrey  "Greytunic,"  was  the  next  Count,  reigning 
till  987.  He  enlarged  by  conquest  the  borders  of  Anjou,  and  his  valor- 
ous deeds  were  sung  in  the  ballads  of  the  time.  His  wife  was  Adela 
of  Vermandois. 

[252] 


WASHINGTON  S    OLD    WORLD   ANCESTRY 

"Greytunic's"  son,  Fulk  the  Black,  succeeded  his  father  in  987.  He 
began  the  conquest  of  Touraine  for  Anjou,  and  built  a  great  line  of 
castles  for  defence.  He  was  a  man  of  violent  passions,  but  with  a 
noble  capacity  for  penitence.  In  order  to  give  token  of  his  sorrow  for 
a  great  crime  he  went  three  times  on  pilgrimages  to  the  Holy  Land, 
and  an  old  legend  tells  that  he  caused  his  servants  to  scourge  him  all 
the  way  with  branches  of  the  Broom  plant,  the  "Plantagenista,"  from 
whence  the  name  of  Plantagenet  is  said  to  have  come  to  his  race.  He 
founded  the  Abbeys  of  Beaulieu,  near  Loches,  of  Saint  Nicholas  at 
Angers,  and  of  Ronceray  at  Angers,  and  built  other  religious  houses. 
He  died  at  Metz,  on  his  way  home  from  his  third  pilgrimage,  in  1040. 
His  first  wife  was  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Bouchard  the  Venerable, 
Count  of  Vendome.  He  married,  second,  Hildegarde  of  Lorraine. 

Geoffrey  "Martel," — "The  Hammer,"— was  the  son  of  Fulk  the 
Black  and  Hildegarde  of  Lorraine.  He  was  born  in  1006,  and  on  his 
father's  death  became  Count  of  Anjou,  the  only  issue  of  Fulk's  first 
marriage  being  a  daughter.  He  was  a  wild,  turbulent  figure  of  a  dark 
and  lawless  period,  wherein  only  the  golden-lambent  torch  of  the  Chris- 
tian Faith  made  bright  places  in  the  gloom.  Geoffrey  married  Agnes, 
the  widow  of  William  the  Great,  Duke  of  Aquitaine,  but  died  without 
issue  in  1060. 

The  next  Count  of  Anjou  was  Geoffrey's  nephew,  Geoffrey  III, 
"The'Bearded,"  who  was  the  son  of  Ermengarde,  the  daughter  of  Fulk 
the  Black  and  Hildegarde  of  Lorraine.  Ermengarde  married  Geof- 
frey, Count  of  Gatinais.  The  right  of  Geoffrey  the  Bearded  was  dis- 
puted by  his  younger  brother,  Fulk  le  Rechin,  "The  Cross-Looking." 
He  imprisoned  Geoffrey,  for  which  deed  of  violence  and  usurpation 
he  was  called  to  account  by  the  Pope  and  was  compelled  to  release  his 
brother.  He  was,  however,  finally  successful  in  his  efforts  and  was 
recognized  as  Count  of  Anjou.  His  successor  was  Fulk  V,  "The 
Young,"  his  son  by  Bertrade  de  Montfort. 

It  was  during  his  reign  that  war  broke  out  between  England  and 
Anjou.  The  English  King,  Henry  I,  was  also  Duke  of  Normandy, 
and  both  Normandy  and  Anjou  claimed  Maine.  The  struggle  was 
brought  to  an  end,  for  the  time,  at  least,  by  a  series  of  diplomatically 
arranged  marriages  between  the  two  claimant  families.  Henry's  eld- 
est son,  William  the  Aetheling,  married  Fulk's  daughter,  Matild'a.  The 
Count's  second  daughter,  Sybil,  became  the  wife  of  William  Clito,  the 
son  of  Robert  "Curthose,"  whose  father  was  William  the  Conqueror. 
Fulk  gave  his  daughter  Maine  for  a  wedding  dowry.  In  1127  the 

[253] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

daughter  of  Henry  I,  Matilda,  married  Fulk's  son,  Geoffrey  the  Fair, 
— Geoffrey  Plantagenet. 

Count  Fulk  visited  the  Holy  Land  in  1120,  and  in  1129  he  married 
Melisinda,  the  daughter  of  Baldwin  II,  King  of  Jerusalem,  receiving 
the  right  of  succession  to  the  throne.  He  became  King  of  Jerusalem 
in  1131.  He  died  in  1133  after  a  wise  and  prosperous  reign.  Two  of 
his  sons,  Baldwin  III  and  Amalric,  followed  him  on  the  throne  of  the 
Holy  Land. 

Geoffrey  the  Fair,  son  of  Fulk,  was  the  next  Count  of  Anjou.  As 
stated  above,  he  married  Matilda,  daughter  of  Henry  I  of  England. 
He  was  an  able,  energetic  ruler,  and  did  much  for  Anjou.  He  sup- 
pressed revolts  of  the  great  nobles  who  were  his  feudal  vassals,  and 
left  the  Countship  to  his  son,  Henry,  in  a  strong,  prosperous  condi- 
tion. It  was  Geoffrey's  soubriquet  of  "Plantagenet"  which  gave  its 
name  to  the  great  dynastic  house  of  England.  He  is  said  to  have  worn 
frequently  the  Broom  flower  as  an  ornament  in  his  cap. 

Henry  in  1 1 54  succeeded,  through  right  of  his  mother,  to  the 
English  crown  as  Henry  II.  He  married  Eleanor  of  Aquitaine  and 
thus  was  ruler,  not  only  of  England,  but  of  a  large  territory  in  France 
—Normandy,  Anjou,  and  Aquitaine.  His  history  as  England's  king 
is  well  known.  His  abilities  no  one  can  question.  He  put  down  with 
a  strong  hand  the  Barons  who  had  waxed  daringly  bold  in  their  inde- 
pendence during  the  turbulent  times  of  Stephen  and  Matilda.  It  was 
in  his  reign  that  Ireland  came  under  the  rule  of  England.  Henry 
seems  to  have  been  a  typical  Plantagenet, — or,  perhaps,  one  should  say 
a  typical  Angevin,  for  the  characteristics  we  associate  with  many  of 
the  Plantagenets  seem  to  have  been  derived  from  their  Angevin  an- 
cestors. They  loved  wildly,  hated  ruthlessly,  sinned  terribly,  and—- 
some of  them — repented  with  deep  and  noble  contrition.  Henry's  long 
struggle  against  Saint  Thomas  a  Becket,  his  instigation  to  the  Arch- 
bishop's murder,  were  followed  by  acknowledgment  of  his  guilt,  and 
humble  penance  at  the  Saint's  shrine  at  Canterbury. 

The  next  in  the  line  of  Washington's  royal  ancestry  was  John, 
who  ascended  the  throne  in  1 199.  His  memory  has  been  a  hateful  one 
to  the  English  people,  although  in  some  respects  he  does  not  appear  to 
have  been  much  worse  than  many  other  monarchs  of  his  time, — which 
is,  however,  perhaps  but  "faint  praise."  Certainly  he  played  against 
all  parties  and  kept  faith  with  none,  except  when  he  was  forced  to  do  so. 
He  was  married  three  times,  to  Alice  of  Morlaix,  to  Isabel  of  Glouces- 
ter, and  to  Isabel  of  Angouleme.  Isabel  of  Angouleme  was  the  mother 
of  Henry  III. 

[254] 


WASHINGTON  S    OLD    WORLD    ANCESTRY 

Henry  succeeded  his  father  in  1216, — the  year  after  Magna  Char- 
ta.  He  seems  to  have  been  a  man  of  good  character  personally,  but  was 
not  a  popular  monarch.  He  was  largely  concerned  with  the  governance 
of  his  lands  over-seas  in  France,  and  was  quite  as  much  of  a  French- 
man as  an  Englishman,  which  might  be  said  of  all  the  early  Norman 
rulers  of  England. 

Edward  I,  the  eldest  son  of  Henry  III  and  Eleanor  of  Provence, 
was  named  after  Saint  Edward  the  Confessor,  the  last  of  the  Saxon 
kings  of  England,  for  whom  Henry  had  earnest  devotion.  His  was  one 
of  the  great  reigns  of  English  monarchs.  The  conquest  of  Wales  and 
the  victorious  war  with  Scotland  are  the  chief  activities  which  most  of 
us  associate  with  Edward.  He  was  a  wise  ruler  and  has  always  held 
his  place  as  a  noble  figure  in  English  history.  His  first  wife  was 
Eleanor,  daughter  of  Saint  Ferdinand,  King  of  Castile.  She,  as  will 
appear  below,  was  also  an  ancestress  of  George  Washington,  but  it  is 
with  his  descent  from  King  Edward's  second  wife  that  we  are  now  con- 
cerned. 

She  was  Margaret,  daughter  of  Philip  III  of  France,  and  grand- 
daughter of  Saint  Louis.  Through  her,  Washington  descended  from 
Hugh  Capet,  founder  of  one  of  the  greatest  dynasties  of  France,  which 
ruled  the  kingdom  for  six  centuries. 

Edmund,  the  son  of  Edward  and  Margaret,  was  known  as  Ed- 
mund of  Woodstock,  from  his  birth  there  on  5  August,  1301.  In  1321 
his  half-brother,  King  Edward  II,  made  him  Earl  of  Kent,  and 
throughout  the  King's  life  he  displayed  the  greatest  favor  and  brotherly 
affection  for  Edmund.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Council  at  the  acces- 
sion of  Edward  III,  but  soon  after  became  involved  in  a  conspiracy  to 
restore  Edward  II,  who,  through  the  enmity  of  Queen  Isabel  and 
Roger  Mortimer,  the  Queen's  lover,  Edmund  was  tricked  into  believing 
was  alive.  He  was  accused  of  treason  to  the  reigning  king,  and  was  be- 
headed on  19  March,  1330. 

The  Earl's  wife  was  Margaret,  daughter  of  John,  Lord  Wake.  Of 
their  children,  the  eldest  son,  Edmund,  was  recognized  as  Earl  of  Kent, 
but  died  in  childhood.  He  was  succeeded  by  the  second  son,  John,  who 
died  without  issue.  The  next  holder  of  the  Earldom  was  a  woman, 
Joan,  the  daughter  of  Edmund  of  Woodstock,  son  of  Edward  I.  "The 
Fair  Maid  of  Kent,"  as  she  was  called,  was  thrice  married.  Her  first 
husband  was  Sir  Thomas  de  Holland,  who  attended  Parliament  as  Earl 
of  Kent.  He  died  in  Normandy  in  1360.  Joan  married,  second,  Mon- 
tague, Earl  of  Salisbury,  and  after  his  decease  she  became  the  wife  of

Edward,  "the  Black  Prince,"  and  was  the  mother  of  King  Richard  II. 

Thomas  de  Holland,  son  of  Joan  and  Sir  Thomas  de  Holland,  suc- 
ceeded his  father  in  the  Earldom  of  Kent.  He  was  born  in  1350  and 
died  in  1397.  He  was  always  held  in  high  esteem  and  favor  by  his  half- 
brother,  Richard  II,  and  was  Marshal  of  England  from  1380  to  1385. 
He  married  Alice,  the  daughter  of  Richard,  Earl  of  Arundel,  one  of 
the  noblest  of  England's  great  families.  There  is  an  old  Sussex  rhyme : 

"Since  William  rose  and  Harold  fell 
There  have  been  Earls  of  Arundel." 

Washington's  ancestry  in  this  interesting  line  may  be  briefly  sum- 
med up  as  follows : 

John,  Lord  of  Arundel,  Clun,  and  Oswaldestre,  was  prominent  in 
the  reign  of  Henry  III,  and  died  in  1267.  His  son,  John,  Lord  of 
Arundel,  had  issue,  Richard  Fitzalan,  Earl  of  Arundel.  He  fought  gal- 
lantly in  the  wars  of  Edward  I  in  France  and  Scotland,  and  died  in 
1302.  His  son,  Edmund,  married  Alice,  the  sister  of  John,  Earl  de 
Warenne.  Their  son,  Richard,  served  under  Edward  III  in  his  wars 
in  the  Low  Countries,  and  was  at  many  of  the  famous  sieges  and  battles 
of  the  period.  He  inherited  the  estate  and  title  of  his  uncle,  the  Earl 
de  Warenne,  and  in  1361,  became  Earl  of  Warenne  or  of  Surrey. 

The  Earldom  of  Surrey  belonged  to  the  family  of  de  Warenne 
since  the  time  of  William  de  \Varenne,  a  Norman  companion  of  the 
Conqueror,  on  whom  the  latter  bestowed  this  English  rank  and  pos- 
session. The  titles  of  Earl  of  Surrey  and  Earl  de  Warenne  seem  to 
have  been  used  interchangeably.  Through  the  de  Warenne  ancestry 
Washington  had  another  royal  lineage, — but  one  "of  the  left  hand." 
An  illegitimate  half-brother  of  Henry  II,  Hamelin  Plantagenet,  mar- 
ried Isabel  de  Warenne,  and  assumed  her  name. 

It  was  this  Richard,  Earl  of  Arundel  and  of  Surrey,  whose 
daughter,  Alice,  married  Thomas  de  Holland,  Earl  of  Kent.  Eleanor, 
the  daughter  of  the  latter, — the  Earl  of  Kent  and  his  wife, — died  in 
1405.  She  married  Edward  Charlton,  Baron  of  Powys,  who  died  in 
1421. 

Through  this  marriage  George  Washington  was  descended  from 
the  ancient  Welsh  princes.  The  Barony  of  Powys  was  created  for 
John  de  Charlton,  who  married  Hawys.  She  was  born  in  1291,  and 
was  the  daughter  of  Owen  de  la  Pole  and  Joanna,  daughter  of  Robert 
Corbet  of  Morton.  Owen  de  la  Pole  was  the  great-great-grandson  of 
Gryffith,  Lord  of  Powys.  Gryffith  was  the  son  of  Meredith,  Prince 
of  Powys,  who  died  in  1 129,  and  was  called  "Meredith  ap  Blethyn," —

BROTHER  OF  GEORGE  WASHINGTON 


WASHINGTON  S    OLD    WORLD   ANCESTRY 

"son  of  Blethyn."  This  Blethyn  descended  from  Mervin,  Prince  of 
Powys,  whose  line  stretches  far  back  to  Cadwan,  635,  King  of  the 
Britons  who  fled  to  the  wild  Welsh  mountains  after  the  final  establish- 
ment of  the  Saxon  power  in  Britain. 

The  Charlton  ancestry  begins  with  John  de  Charleton  or  Charlton, 
who  died  in  1353.  His  son  and  heir,  John,  married  Maud,  daughter  of 
Roger  de  Mortimer,  Earl  of  March.  They  had  issue,  John,  who  mar- 
ried Joan,  daughter  of  Ralph,  Lord  Stafford.  Edward  de  Charlton, 
son  of  John  and  Joan  de  Charlton,  married  Eleanor,  daughter  of  the 
Earl  of  Kent,  as  stated  above. 

The  lineage  of  Joan  de  Stafford,  wife  of  John  de  Charlton,  goes 
back  to  Robert  de  Stafford  and  his  wife,  Avice  de  Clare,  their  son, 
Nicholas  de  Stafford,  being  Sheriff  of  Staffordshire  in  the  reign  of 
Henry  I. 

Through  the  Staffords  Washington  inherited  a  second  strain  of 
royal  ancestry.  Ralph  Stafford  (father  of  Joan,  who  married  John 
Charlton),  married  Margaret  Audley.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Hugh 
Audley,  who  became  Earl  of  Gloucester,  and  Margaret  de  Clare,  whose 
first  husband  was  Piers  Gaveston,  the  favorite  of  Edward  II.  Mar- 
garet de  Clare's  father  was  Gilbert  de  Clare,  Earl  of  Hertford  and 
Gloucester,  whose  wife  was  the  Princess  Jane,  daughter  of  King  Ed- 
ward I  and  his  first  wife,  Eleanor  of  Castile. 

Eleanor  brings  into  the  brilliant  background  of  Washington's  an- 
cestral past,  already  so  vivid  with  heroic  and  romantic  figures — Kings 
and  Queens  and  Knights,  reckless,  half-pagan  nobles  and  devoted  Saint 
—the  flashing  glory  of  Spain  in  her  days  of  splendid  adventure  against 
the  Moorish  invaders  of  her  Christian  land. 

It  would  need  a  supreme  intelligence  to  seek  out  and  discover  the 
character-results  through  blood-inheritance  of  a  man  like  George 
Washington — or  of  any  human  being.  .  The  hereditary  influences 
which  have  come  down  through  the  myriad  streams  of  generating  force 
act  and  re-act  upon  each  other,  and  upon  that  mysterious  Energy  which 
is  distinctive  and  separate  in  each  individual,  in  a  way  too  subtle  to  be 
accurately  estimated  in  a  finite  balance.  But  even  if  we  cannot  analyze 
the  occult  processes  of  life-transmission  through  successive  ages,  yet 
we  can  trace  some  of  the  external  channels  through  which  the  multitud- 
inous streams  of  life  have  flowed  down  and  together  into  one  per- 
sonality. 

Eleanor  was  the  daughter  of  St.  Ferdinand,  the  King  of  Spain, 
whose  lineage  begins  with  Sancho  III,  of  Navarre,  who  married  Nuga

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Elvira,  Heiress  of  Castile.  He  began  to  reign,  with  the  title  of  Em- 
peror of  Spain,  about  the  year  1000. 

The  Mortimer  family,  which  comes  into  Washington's  pedigree 
through  the  marriage  of  another  John  de  Charlton  with  Maud  de  Mort- 
imer, as  mentioned  in  the  above  summary  of  the  Charlton  line,  was  one 
of  the  greatest  in  England  and  Wales.  They  descended  from  Hugh, 
a  Norman,  who  in  early  life  was  married  to  a  niece  of  Herfast  the 
Dane.  Later  he  entered  the  Church  and  became  Bishop  of  Contances 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  Tenth  Century.  One,  and  perhaps  two,  of  his 
grandsons  fought  at  Hastings  with  the  Conqueror. 

Roger  de  Mortimer,  the  first  Earl  of  March,  whose  daughter, 
Maud,  married  John  de  Charlton,  was  the  great-grandson  of  Ralph  de 
Mortimer,  who  married  Gladuse  (Gladys)  Dhu,  a  daughter  of  Prince 
Llewellyn  of  Wales.  Llewellyn's  wife  was  Joan,  daughter  of  King 
John  of  England,  which  brings  another  strain  of  royal  ancestry  into 
the  Washington  blood.  Prince  Llewellyn  was  descended  from  the 
Kings  of  Wales,  tracing  back  to  the  same  King  Cadwan,  from  whom 
it  has  been  seen  Hawys,  who  married  John  de  Charlton,  was  also  de- 
scended. 

Returning  to  the  lineage  through  the  Charlton  family  of  Wash- 
ington's English  ancestry,  we  find  that  Edward  de  Charlton  and  his 
wife,  Eleanor,  daughter  of  the  Earl  of  Kent,  had  a  daughter,  Joyce 
Charlton,  born  in  1403.  She  became  the  wife  of  Sir  John  Tiptoft. 

The  Tiptoft  name  seems  originally  to  have  been  Tibetot,  or  Tybe- 
tot,  and  the  line  goes  back  to  Henry  de  Tibetot,  living  in  the  reign  of 
King  Henry  III.  His  son,  Robert,  was  Governor  of  several  great  cas- 
tles, among  them  Nottingham,  and,  as  the  King's  Lieutenant  in  Wales, 
won  important  victories  against  the  Welsh.  He  married  Eve,  the 
daughter  of  Pain  de  Chaworth,  and  their  son,  Sir  Pain  de  Tybetot,  also 
called  Tiptoft,  was  a  Knight,  and  was  summoned  to  Parliament  as  a 
Baron.  His  wife  was  Agnes,  daughter  of  William,  Baron  de  Ros  of 
Hemlake.  The  line  goes  down  thence  through  Sir  John,  Knight  and 
Baron,  then  Sir  Pain  de  Tybetot,  and  another  Sir  John,  who  held  sev- 
eral high  offices,  among  them  those  of  Treasurer  of  the  Royal  House- 
hold, Seneschal  of  Aquitaine,  and  Treasurer  of  Normandy.  His  sec- 
ond wife  was  Joyce  Charlton. 

Their  daughter,  Joyce  Tiptoft,  married  Edmund  de  Sutton.  As- 
ton-le-Walls,  in  whose  church  Lawrence  Washington  and  Margaret 
Butler,  grandparents  of  George  Washington's  first  American  ancestor, 
were  married,  came  down  to  the  Butlers  through  their  Sutton  inheri-

tance,  and,  still  further  back,  through  the  marriage  of  Rowland  dc 
Sutton,  to  Alice,  daughter  and  co-heiress  of  Richard  de  Lexinton. 

Richard  de  Lexinton  of  Tuxford,  Nottinghamshire,  lived  in 
the  reign  of  King  John  and  was  the  son  of  Robert  de  Lexinton.  Row- 
land de  Sutton,  son  of  Hervey  de  Sutton  of  Sutton-on-Trent,  Notting- 
hamshire, who  married  Alice  de  Lexinton,  as  noted  above,  was  de- 
scended from  one  Hervey  or  Hervius,  a  tenant  of  the  Earl  of  Richmond 
in  the  Conqueror's  time.  He  was  known,  it  is  said,  as  Hervius  of  South 
Town,  then  of  Sudtown,  the  name  finally  becoming  Sutton. 

William  de  Sutton,  son  of  Rowland  de  Sutton  and  Alice  de  Lex- 
inton, became  the  possessor  of  the  estates  of  Warsop  in  Nottingham- 
shire and  Aston-le- Walls,  Northamptonshire,  the  first  coming  to  him 
through  his  Sutton  inheritance,  and  Aston-le-Walls  through  his  mother. 

One  of  Washington's  ancestors  in  this  family,  Sir  John  de  Sut- 
ton, who  lived  in  the  reigns  of  Edward  II  and  Edward  III,  married 
Margery,  daughter  of  Roger  de  Somery,  Baron  of  Dudley.  She  was 
the  co-heiress  of  her  brother,  John  de  Somery,  and  thus  the  title  of 
Baron  Sutton  de  Dudley  came  to  her  husband  and  their  descendants. 
It  was  one  of  the  latter,  John  de  Sutton,  the  sixth  Baron  Sutton  de 
Dudley,  who  in  1456  presented  Aston-le-Walls  to  his  son,  Edmund, 
who  married  Joyce  Tiptoft. 

Edmund  Sutton  pre-deceased  his  father,  and  Edmund's  son,  Ed- 
ward, became  the  owner  of  Aston-le-Walls.  He  entered  into  an  agree- 
ment in  1530  with  his  brother,  John,  that  the  latter  should  hold  this 
Manor  during  his  lifetime,  but  that  it  should  afterwards  pass  to  John's 
daughter,  Margaret.  Margaret  Sutton  married  John  Butler,  son  of 
Ralph  Butler  of  Sawbridgeworth,  Hertfordshire,  and  thus  Aston-le- 
Walls  came  into  the  Butler  family's  possession. 

John  Butler  died  in  1563  and  his  wife,  Margaret  Sutton,  in  the 
same  year,  the  burials  of  both  being  recorded  on  17  April.  Their  third 
son,  William  Butler  of  Tighes,  Sussex,  was  the  next  ancestor  in  Wash- 
ington's pedigree.  He  had  three  sons  and  two  daughters,  and  one  of 
the  latter  was  Margaret  Butler,  who,  on  3  August,  1558,  in  the  Church 
of  Saint  Leonard  at  Aston-le-Walls,  became  the  wife  of  Lawrence 
Washington  of  Sulgrave. 

Aston-le-Walls  passed  down  to  a  great-grandson  of  John  Butler 
and  Margaret  Sutton,  Alban  Butler,  who  died  leaving  a  daughter, 
Elizabeth,  as  sole  heir.  She  married  Francis  Plowden  of  Plowden, 
Shropshire,  and  so  the  Manor  became  a  part  of  the  Plowden  estates 
which  it  is  at  the  present  time.  The  owner  in  1909  was  William  Fran- 

[268] 


WASHINGTON  S    OLD    WORLD    ANCESTRY 

cis  Plowden,  Esq.  The  Plowdens  were  one  of  the  families  of  the  Eng- 
lish gentry  who  remained  Catholic  at  the  time  of  the  Protestant  Refor- 
mation and  some  of  the  Butlers  also  of  this  branch  were  Catholics. 
One  of  these  was  the  Reverend  Alban  Butler,  the  famous  biographer 
of  the  Saints,  born  in  Northampton  in  1710. 

So  here  has  been  briefly  told  an  outline  story  of  the  English  ances- 
tors of  George  Washington, — the  men  and  women  who  helped  to  give 
to  America  the  greatest  of  her  sons.  It  will  be  asked  doubtless  by 
many,  what  interest  have  Americans  in  this  winding  thread  of  gene- 
alogical lore.  But  if  Pope  was  right,  that  "the  noblest  study  of  man- 
kind is  man,"  then  it  is  surely  of  a  vital  interest  to  all  true  patriots  to 
learn  all  that  can  be  learned  as  to  the  forces  which  were  united  in 
Washington.  Only  the  merest  condensation  of  his  ancestral  record  has 
been  possible  to  give  here;  yet  even  that  may  well  furnish  subject  for 
reflection  upon  the  fact  that  he  was  what  he  was  to  a  great  extent  be- 
cause of  what  his  ancestors  were  before  him.  It  is  true  that  each  soul 
possesses  a  Something,  indefinable  and  separate,  which  is  the  result  of 
a  special  creative  act,  so  far  as  we  can  judge ;  and  it  is  also  true  that  en- 
vironment and  education  do  much  towards  the  development  of  a  char- 
acter. But,  in  addition  to  the  character-results  of  individual  type  and 
of  environment,  it  is  manifest,  not  only  to  biologists  and  physiologists, 
but  to  any  observing  mind,  that  tendencies,  habits,  tastes,  instincts — all 
that  go  to  make  up  personality — are  more  than  anything  else  the  out- 
come of  heredity. 

An  inheritor  of  the  blood  which  flowed  and  still  flows  in  most  of 
the  royal  dynasties  of  Europe,  heir  through  his  ancestry  to  the  forceful 
men  who,  for  good  or  evil,  were  the  conquerors,  the  monarchs,  the  auto- 
crats, of  the  Old  World,  it  remained  for  George  Washington  to  use  all 
this  accumulated  capacity  for  dominance  and  for  conquest  for  the  sole 
and  glorious  purpose  of  freeing  his  country  from  the  rule  of  tyrants 
and  establishing  her,  the  Queen  of  Liberty,  among  the  great  nations 
of  the  earth.

THE  HONORABLE  ELIHU  B.  ROOT 

R.  CHAIRMAN,  Ladies,  and  Gentlemen:  I  shall  not 
at  this  hour  detain  you  by  any  extended  remarks,  and 
I  should  apologize  for  having  no  prepared  address. 
The  subject  is  one  which  is  very  interesting  to  me,  and 
must  be  very  interesting,  I  think,  to  everyone  who 
thinks  about  international  affairs  or  who  thinks  about 
the  possibilities  of  the  future  of  his  country.  Should  international 
law  be  codified;  and,  if  so,  should  it  be  done  through  governmental 
agencies  or  by  private  scientific  societies? 

If  that  means,  should  we  undertake  to  put  the  law  of  nations 
into  a  single  body  which  shall  be  the  rule  and  guide  for  international 
relations,  I  think  we  must  answer,  no  ;  that  it  is  impossible  at  the  pres- 
ent time.  Mr.  Field  made  a  valiant  attempt,  Bluntschli  a  great  effort, 
but  the  formation  of  international  law,  still  in  its  infancy,  is  a  process 
only  just  begun,  and  it  has  not  reached  a  point  where  the  rules  can  be 
embodied  in  a  code.  <*- 

On  the  other  hand,  codification,  considered  not  as  a  result,  but  as 
a  process,  seems  to  me  plainly  should  be  attempted  and  pressed  for- 
ward and  urged  with  all  possible  force.  It  is  curious  that  codification 
should  be  especially  necessary  in  a  system  of  law  which  is  based  upon 
custom  more  exclusively  even  than  municipal  law,  but  that  is  necessa- 

[273] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

rily  so  in  the  case  of  the  law  of  nations,  because  there  are  no  legisla- 
tures to  make  the  law  and  there  are  no  judicial  decisions  to  establish  by 
precedent  what  the  law  is. 

One  great  weakness  of  international  law  has  been  that,  to  ascer- 
tain what  it  was,  you  have  to  go  to  text  writers  and  to  a  great  variety 
of  statements,  differing,  inconsistent,  many  of  them  obscure  and 
vague,  capable  of  different  interpretations,  so  that,  the  instant  that  the 
occasion  for  the  application  of  a  law  conies,  there  is  pressed  upon  con- 
flicting nations  or  disputing  nations  the  question  as  to -what  the  law 
is,  without  any  clear  and  definite  standard  from  which  to  ascertain  it. 

Recent  events — or,  rather,  the  realization  of  the  truth  which 
comes  from  a  great  war  in  Europe — compel  us  to  consider  the  great 
shortcomings  of  what  we  think  of  as  international  law,  to  consider  how 
narrow  the  field  which  it  covers,  how  vague  and  uncertain  it  is  within 
its  own  field,  and  how  difficult  it  is  to  compel  in  any  way  a  recognition 
of  its  rules  of  right  conduct. 

There  is  but  one  way  in  which  that  weakness  of  international 
law  can  be  cured,  and  that  is  by  the  process  of  codification,  a  process 
which  must  be  extended  through  long  periods,  which  has  been  going 
on  very  gradually  for  many  years.  The  Declaration  of  Paris  was  a  lit- 
tle bit  of  codification.  The  three  rules  of  the  Treaty  of  Washington 
constituted  a  little  bit  of  codification  as  between  the  United  States  and 
Great  Britain,  and  they  have  been,  in  substance,  accepted  and  adopted 
by  the  nations  of  Europe  and  at  The  Hague.  The  Geneva  Convention 
covered  a  certain  field  by  codification,  and  The  Hague  conventions  a 
much  wider  field.  So,  I  say,  considered  as  a  conclusion,  there  can  be  no 
codification ;  but,  considered  as  a  process,  there  must  be  codification- 
codification  pressed  forward  and  urged  on  by  all  possible  means. 

The  very  fact  that  there  are  no  courts  to  establish  precedents, 
and  no  legislatures  to  make  laws,  make  this  necessary.  All  interna- 
tional law  is  made,  not  by  any  kind  of  legislation,  but  by  agreement. 
The  agreement  is  based  upon  customs,  but  the  ascertainment  and 
recognition  of  the  customs  is  the  subject  of  the  agreement,  and  how 
can  there  be  agreement  that  is  possible,  unless  the  subject  matter  of 
the  agreement  is  definite  and  certain? 

I  say  that  recent  events  indicate  that  we  must  press  forward 
toward  codification.  I  can  go  a  step  further  than  that.  The  changes 
in  the  conditions  of  the  earth,  the  changes  in  international  relations 
which  have  been  so  rapid  in  recent  years,  have  outstripped  the  growth 
of  international  law.  I  think  it  quite  right  to  say  that  the  law  of  na- 

[274] 


SHOULD  INTERNATIONAL  LAW  BE  CODIFIED? 

tions  does  not  come  so  near  to  covering  the  field  of  national  conduct 
to-day  as  it  did  fifty  years  ago.  The  development  of  international 
relations  in  all  their  variety,  in  the  multitude  of  questions  that  arise, 
goes  on  more  rapidly  than  the  development  of  international  law,  and, 
if  you  wait  for  customs,  without  any  effort  to  translate  the  customs 
into  definite  statements  from  year  to  year,  you  will  never  get  any  law 
settled,  except  by  bitter  controversy.  The  pressing  forward  of  codifi- 
cation of  international  law  is  made  necessary  by  the  swift  moving  of 
events  among  nations.  We  can  not  wait  for  custom  to  lag  behind  the 
action  to  which  the  law  should  be  applied. 

Mr.  Chairman,  I  want  to  express  entire  harmony  with  what  Gov- 
ernor Baldwin  said  a  few  moments  ago  upon  the  other  branch  of  this 
question,  as  to  whether  it  should  be  by  government  or  by  private  so- 
cieties. It  is  not  practicable  that  governments  should  do  the  thrashing 
out  of  questions  necessary  to  reach  a  definite  statement  of  a  conclu- 
sion. That  has  to  be  done  with  freedom  from  constraint  by  the  pri- 
vate individual  doing  his  work  in  a  learned  society  or  in  private  inter- 
course. I  think  it  is  not  generally  understood  that  the  first  Confer- 
ence at  The  Hague  would  have  been  a  complete  failure,  if  it  had  not 
been  for  the  accomplished  work  of  the  Institut  des  fitats  Internationale. 

The  first  Conference  was  called  by  the  Czar  of  Russia  for  the 
purpose  of  agreeing  upon  disarmament,  and  for  the  purpose  of  avert- 
ing what  the  Czar  saw  coming  in  the  future,  and  which  has  now  come. 
But  there  were  powers  in  Europe  which  would  not  have  it.  They  re- 
fused to  enter  a  conference  for  the  purpose  of  considering  that  sub- 
ject. Something  had  to  be  done.  Here  was  a  conference  called  by  this 
great  power  which  was  to  meet,  and  something  was  to  be  done,  and 
they  took  the  accomplished  work  of  the  Institut  des  fitats  Internation- 
ale, which  it  had  thrashed  out  through  the  labors  and  discussions  of 
most  learned  international  lawyers  of  Europe,  including  most  of  the 
technical  advisers  of  the  foreign  offices  of  Europe,  meeting  in  their 
private  capacity,  and  that  first  conference  at  The  Hague  embodied 
those  conventions  in  the  conventions  of  the  first  Hague  conference. 
It  would  have  been  impossible  for  The  Hague  conference  to  do  that 
work  or  one  tithe  of  it  if  they  had  not  had  -the  material  already  pro- 
vided. 

So  I  think  it  is  quite  clear  that  the  process  of  codification,  step  by 
step,  subject  by  subject,  point  by  point — the  process  of  codification 
must  begin  with  the  intellectual  labor  of  private  individuals,  and  it 
must  be  completed  by  the  acceptance  of  governments.  All  of  the  hun- 

[275] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

dreds  of  thousands  of  pages  that  have  been  written  upon  international 
law  by  private  individuals  go  for  nothing  unless  governments  accept 
them.  A  wilderness  of  text  writers  one  has  to  wander  through  in  en- 
deavoring to  get  at  what  the  law  of  nations  is,  and  all  that  they  wrote 
is  of  no  consequence  except  as  it  exercises  a  force  in  bringing  about 
action  and  agreement  by  the  governments  of  the  earth.  So,  Mr.  Chair- 
man, this  process  must  have  both  private  initiative  and  governmental 
sanction. 

Mr.  Chairman,  there  is  one  other  subject  which  I  think  we  should 
consider  in  dealing  with  the  subject  of  codification,  and  that  is  this: 
Are  the  small  nations  of  the  earth  to  continue ;  is  it  to  be  any  longer 
possible  for  the  little  people  to  maintain  their  independence?  That  is 
a  serious  question  with  many  of  us  in  this  joint  meeting  of  the  Subsec- 
tion 6  of  the  Society  of  the  Pan-American  Congress  and  the  American 
Society.  The  large  nations  can  take  care  of  themselves  by  the  exercise 
of  power  if  they  are  willing  to  be  armed  to  the  teeth  always,  but  the 
small  countries — what  are  they  to  do?  There  is  no  protection  for 
them  but  the  protection  of  law.  And  there  is  no  protection  in  law 
unless  the  law  be  made  clear  and  definite  and  certain,  so  that  a  great 
bully  can  not  escape  it  without  running  into  the  condemnation  of  that 
law.  So  I  say  that  every  dictate  of  humanity  should  lead  us  to  urge 
forward  that  process  by  which  in  its  better  moments  mankind  may  be 
led  to  agree  to  the  setting  up  of  clear  and  definite  and  distinct  rules  of 
right  conduct  for  the  control  of  the  great  nations  in  their  dealings 
with  the  small  and  weak. 

The  presence  here  of  Doctor  Matura,  whom  it  is  a  great  pleasure 
for  me  to  hail  as  a  colleague  in  the  faculty  of  political  and  administrative 
science  of  the  University  of  San  Marcos,  at  Lima,  and  of  the  distin- 
guished Ambassador  from  Brazil,  my  old  friend  from  Rio  de  Janeiro, 
leads  me  to  say  something  which  follows  naturally  from  my  reflec- 
tions regarding  the  interests  of  the(  smaller  nations. 

It  is  now  nearly  ten  years  ago  when  your  people,  gentlemen,  and 
the  other  peoples  of  South  America  were  good  enough  to  give  serious 
and  respectful  consideration  to  a  message  that  it  was  my  fortune  to 
take  from  this  great  and  powerful  Republic  of  North  America  to  the 
other  American  Nations.  I  wish  to  say  to  you,  Gentlemen,  and  to  all 
my  Latin  American  friends  here  in  this  Congress,  that  everything 
that  I  said  in  behalf  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States  at  Rio  de 
Janeiro  in  1906  is  true  now  as  it  was  true  then.  There  has  been  no 
departure  from  the  standard  of  feeling  and  of  policy  which  was  de- 

[276! 


SHOULD  INTERNATIONAL  LAW  BE  CODIFIED? 

clared  then  in  behalf  of  the  American  people.  On  the  contrary,  there 
is  throughout  the  people  of  this  country  a  fuller  realization  of  the 
duty  and  the  morality  and  the  high  policy  of  that  standard.  Of  course, 
in  every  country  there  are  individuals  who  depart  from  the  general 
opinion  and  general  conviction,  both  in  their  views  and  in  their  con- 
duct, but  the  great,  the  overwhelming  body  of  the  American  people 
love  liberty  not  in  the  restricted  sense  of  desiring  it  for  themselves 
alone  but  in  the  broader  sense  of  desiring  it  for  all  mankind. 

The  great  body  of  the  people  of  these  United  States  love  justice, 
not  merely  as  they  demand  it  for  themselves,  but  in  being  willing  to 
render  it  to  others.  We  believe  in  the  independence  and  the  dignity  of 
nations,  and,  while  we  are  great,  we  estimate  our  greatness  as  one  of 
the  least  of  our  possessions,  and  we  hold  the  smallest  State,  be  it  upon 
an  island  of  the  Caribbean  or  anywhere  in  Central  or  South  America, 
as  our  equal  in  dignity,  in  the  right  to  respect,  and  in  the  right  to  the 
treatment  of  an  equal.  We  believe  that  nobility  of  spirit,  that  high, 
ideals,  that  capacity  for  sacrifice,  are  nobler  than  material  wealth. 
We  know  that  these  can  be  found  in  the  little  State  as  well  as  in  the 
big  one.  In  our  respect  for  you  who  are  small,  and  for  you  who  are 
great,  there  can  be  no  element  of  condescension  or  patronage,  for  that 
would  do  violence  to  our  own  conception  of  the  dignity  of  independent 
sovereignty.  We  desire  no  benefits  which  are  not  the  benefits  ren- 
dered by  honorable  equals  to  each  other.  We  seek  no  control  that  we 
are  unwilling  to  concede  to  others,  and  so  long  as  the  spirit  of  Amer- 
ican freedom  shall  continue  it  will  range  us  side  by  side  with  you, 
great  and  small,  in  the  maintenance  of  the  rights  of  nations,  the  rights 
which  exist  as  against  us  and  as  against  all  the  rest  of  the  world. 

With  that  spirit  we  hail  your  presence  here  to  co-operate  with 
those  of  us  who  are  interested  in  international  law.  We  hail  the  for- 
mation of  the  new  American  Institute  of  International  Law  and  the 
personal  friendships  that  are  being  formed  day  by  day  between  the 
men  of  the  north  and  the  men  of  the  south,  all  to  the  end  that  we  may 
unite  in  such  clear  and  definite  declaration  of  the  principles  of  right 
conduct  among  nations,  and  in  such  steadfast  and  honorable  support 
of  those  principles,  as  shall  command  the  respect  of  mankind  and  in- 
sure their  enforcement.

Secretary  of  the  Ohio  State  Archaeological  and  Historical 

Society 

O  ENTER  upon  the  domain  of  the  Mound  Builder,  won- 
derful and  enigmatical  in  his  works,  is  like  seeking  to 
grope  one's  way  through  the  fabled  labyrinths  of 
Egypt  and  Crete,  for  one  is  soon  lost  in  a  maze  of 
alluring  speculation,  from  which  the  guiding  hand  of 
knowledge  is  withheld.  The  Mound  Builder  is  the 
riddle  of  the  American  race,  and  the  countless  manifestations  of  his 
handiwork  defy  explanation,  while  they  ever  excite  our  admiration  and 
amazement. 

The  earliest  European  explorers,  in  their  travels  through  the  un- 
broken wilds  of  North  America,  found  these  earthen  structures  of  a 
prehistoric  people  intact  and  perfect,  but  solitary  and  lifeless,  with  no 
living  being  to  tell  aught  of  their  origin,  age,  or  purpose.  Who  were 
these  people  that  came,  wrought,  and  disappeared  into  the  impenetrable 
mists  of  the  past? 

"Let  the  mighty  mounds 
That  overlook  the  rivers,  or  that  rise 
In  the  dim  forest  crowded  with  old  oaks, 
Answer.    A  race,  that  long  has  passed  away, 
Built  them  ;  —  a  disciplined  and  populous  race 
Heaped,  with  long  toil,  the  earth,  while  yet  the  Greek 
Was  hewing  the  Pentelicus  to  forms 
Of  symmetry,  and  rearing  on  its  rock 
The  glittering  Parthenon." 

Just  what  relation,  ethnological  and  archaeological,  the  builders  of 
the  mounds  bore  to  the  Mississippi  Valley  and  its  branch  basins  will 
probably  never  be  fully  known.  So  far  as  the  vestiges,  discovered  by 
the  early  European  intruder,  can  testify,  the  portion  of  the  United 
States  embraced  within  the  central  valley  named  and  its  tributaries, 

[289] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

was  the  chief  domain  and  centre  of  those  peculiar  people.  Whether 
this  territory  was  the  land  of  his  origin,  a  great  way-station  in  the  pil- 
grimage of  his  race  through  its  earthly  existence,  or  was  the  terminus 
of  prolonged  peregrinations,  has  not  been  determined. 

Concerning  the  inscrutable  Mound  Builder  and  his  monuments, 
the  accumulated  literature,  by  official  authorities,  voluntary  scientists, 
amateur  investigators,  poetic  romancers,  and  irresponsible  and  illiter- 
ate dreamers,  is  appalling  in  quantity,  contradictory  in  statement  and 
theory,  conflicting  in  conclusions,  and  often  amusing  and  absurd. 
Being  without  the  Pale  of  definite  knowledge,  the  Mound  Builder  and 
his  achievements  afford  untramelled  scope  for  the  imagination.  He 
literally  left  "foot-prints  on  the  sands  of  time,"  but  their  trail  leads 
only  to  oblivion.  He  bequeathed  to  the  succeeding  ages  no  written  rec- 
ords, and  his  temples  tell  no  tales  as  to  their  time  or  purpose.  His  only 
answer  to  every  conceivable  guess  concerning  his  origin,  age,  and  des- 
tiny, is  his  unbroken  silence.  The  Mound  Builder  is  the  Race  with  the 
Iron  Mask. 

But,  whoever  he  was,  the  Mound  Builder  displayed  his  activities 
in  a  spacious  arena,  and,  if  the  whole  North  American  Continent  was 
not  his,  a  large  part  of  it  was,  for  his  habitations  extended  from  the 
Allegheny  River  to  the  Rocky  Mountain  range,  and  in  some  instances 
on  to  the  Pacific  Slope.  He  is  almost  unknown  in  New  England.  He 
is  found  in  lower  Canada,  but  he  evidently  avoided  the  colder  climates 
and  in  the  South  he  is  much  in  evidence,  for  his  works  dot  the  shores 
of  the  Mexican  Gulf,  from  Texas  to  Florida,  and  are  found  in  Ala- 
bama, Louisiana,  Mississippi,  the  Carolinas,  Tennessee,  and  Kentucky. 
The  Northwest  Territory,  however,  produces  evidences  of  his  densest 
population ;  at  least,  there  his  achievements  were  the  most  numerous 
and  important.  In  Wisconsin,  along  its  river  courses  and  about  the 
shores  of  its  lakes,  he  adorned  the  sides  and  summits  of  the  hills  with 
innumerable  effigies  of  animals,  birds,  reptiles,  and  even  human  beings, 
—presumptively  tributes  to  his  superstitious  belief,  symbols  of  his  crude 
worship,  or  possibly  emblematic  totems  of  his  various  tribes.  Michi- 
gan did  not  greatly  merit  his  attention,  but  his  mounds  are  frequently 
found  in  Indiana  and  are  numerous  in  Illinois. 

Ohio,  however,  was  a  region  for  which  he  displayed  most  remark- 
able partiality.  The  banks  of  "La  Belle  Riviere,"  as  the  early  French 
called  the  majestic  Ohio,  and  picturesque  and  fertile  valleys  of  the 
Miamis,  the  Scioto,  the  Muskingum,  the  Cuyahoga,  and  lesser  tributary 
streams,  were  the  scenes  of  his  most  numerous,  most  extensive,  and 

[290] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

most  continuous  settlements.  It  has  been  asserted  that  the  localities  in 
Ohio,  which  testify  to  the  Mound  Builders'  presence,  far  out-number 
the  total  localities  of  his  evidential  habitation  in  any  other  State,  in- 
deed almost  equal  those  in  all  the  rest  of  the  country.  Ohio  was  the 
great  "State"  in  prehistoric  times,  for  over  twelve  thousand  places  in 
the  present  State-limits  have  been  found  and  noted,  where  the  Mound 
Builder  left  his  testimonial. 

It  is  not  the  purpose  of  this  study  to  attempt  any  exhaustive  or 
minute  account  of  detailed  enumeration  of  the  vestiges  left  by  this  peo- 
ple. Rather,  it  is  the  intention  to  mention,  with  brief  portrayal,  the 
masterpieces  of  the  different  classes  of  their  exploits.  We  will  classify 
these  works  and  note  their  features  in  the  following  order :  ( i )  Walled 
enclosures;  (2)  Single  mounds;  (3)  Village  sites  and  burial  grounds; 
and  (4)  Theories  respecting  the  identity  of  the  Mound  Builders. 

The  so-called  enclosures  which  cap  the  hill-tops  are  usually  re- 
garded as  forts  or  military  defenses.  These  are  built  of  stone  or  earth 
and,  in  rare  instances,  of  both.  The  hill-top  defenses  are  not  relatively 
numerous,  but  exhibit  in  their  construction  great  engineering  sagacity 
and  skill  and  almost  inconceivable  labor.  The  enclosures  on  the  plains 
or  river  bottoms  are  almost  exclusively  of  earthen  material  and  are 
either  walled  towns  or  structures  for  refuge  or  safety.  Possibly,  some 
were  religious  temples.  They  are  of  all  dimensions  and  forms,  many 
of  them  presenting  combinations  of  circles,  squares,  and  geometrical 
figures  of  great  variety. 

The  largest  stone  edifice  of  the  Mound  Builders  was  erected  on 
Spruce  Hill,  in  the  southern  part  of  Ross  County,  Ohio.  This  work  oc- 
cupies the  level  summit  of  a  hill  some  four  hundred  feet  in  height.  The 
elevation  is  a  long,  triangular-shaped  spur,  terminating  a  range  of 
hills  with  which  it  is  connected  by  a  narrow  neck  or  isthmus,  which 
affords  the  only  accessible  approach  to  the  fort,  for  the  hillsides  at 
all  other  points  are  remarkably  steep  and  in  places  practically  perpen- 
dicular. Spruce  Hill  was  admirably  chosen  for  the  purpose  of  defense 
and  observation,  for  its  summit  commands  a  panoramic  view  of  the  en- 
circling valley  through  which  runs  Paint  Creek.  It  was  a  mound 
building  neighborhood ;  the  site  of  Chillicothe,  a  great  mound  building 
centre,  was  only  eleven  miles  distant,  to  the  northeast. 

The  magnitude  of  Spruce  Hill  Fort  exceeds  any  similar  construc- 
tion attributed  to  the  Mound  Builders.  It  evinces  tremendous  labor 
and  unusual  ingenuity  of  arrangement,  and  the  wonder  at  this  stupen- 
dous work  grows  when  it  is  remembered  that  it  was  erected  without  the

aid  of  beasts  of  burden  or  any  mechanical  assistance.  It  was  literally 
built  by  manual  labor. 

It  was  in  a  fair  state  of  preservation  less  than  a  generation  ago. 
But  to-day  the  walls  are  in  a  sad  state  of  demolition,  caused  by  the 
thrifty  farmers  who  make  spoil  of  the  displaced  stones  for  the  repara- 
tion of  their  fences. 

Less  extensive,  though  more  impressive,  than  the  Spruce  Hill 
Fort  is  the. fortification  in  Brush  Creek  township,  Highland  County. 
It  is  the  best  preserved  of  the  stone  defensive  works  of  the  Ohio  Mound 
Builders.  Fort  Hill  rises  abruptly  about  five  hundred  feet  above  the 
river  bottom.  Only  at  two  points  can  the  summit  be  reached.  Encirc- 
ling the  top  of  the  hill,  which  presents  a  level  area  of  some  fifty  acres, 
is  an  embankment  of  earth  and  stones.  The  wall,  which  mainly  follows 
the  brow  of  the  hill,  at  some  points  reaches  a  height  of  fifteen  feet,  and 
is  over  a  mile  and  a  half  in  length.  The  openings  originally  made  in 
the  wall,  thirty-three  in  number,  are  spaces  ten  to  fifteen  feet  in  width, 
arranged  without  apparent  order  or  regularity.  The  purpose  of  these 
openings  is  inexplicable,  as  few  of  them  could  be  used  for  ingress  or 
egress,  most  of  them  being  at  points  where  the  approach  to  the  fort  is 
an  almost  impossible  ascent. 

What  would  one  not  give  for  the  story  of  this  primitive  fortress, 
its  patient  and  painstaking  builders,  their  life  within  its  precincts,  their 
feats  of  daring  and  suffering!  Could  they  have  been  recorded  and 
preserved,  might  not  the  annals  of  these  people  have  left  us  subjects 
for  epics  as  thrilling  and  dramatic  as  the  Iliad  and  the  Aeneid?  But 
their  heritage  to  us  is  oblivion. 

A  fortification  known  as  the  Glenford  Stone  Fort  is  another  most 
interesting  and  important  hill-top  enclosure,  because  of  its  admirable 
location  and  the  fact  that  its  remains  are  still  sufficient  for  its  form  to 
be  easily  traced  and  its  construction  understood. 

The  southwest  portion  of  the  State,  especially  the  valleys  of  the 
Great  and  Little  Miamis,  was  a  region  thickly  dotted  with  the  habi- 
tations and  monuments  of  the  Mound  Builders.  Within  the  present 
limits  of  Hamilton  County,  between  four  and  five  hundred  mounds 
and  some  fifteen  important  enclosures  were  noted  by  the  early  trav- 
elers and  settlers.  One  of  the  most  notable  of  these  is  located  on  Fort 
Hill,  at  the  mouth  of  the  Great  Miami.  It  has  been  generally  desig- 
nated as  the  Miami  Fort.  It  was  first  brought  into  notice  in  the  liter- 
ature concerning  the  Mound  Builders  by  William  Henry  Harrison, 
who,  though  a  Virginian  by  birth,  became  an  Ohioan  by  adoption,

marrying  a  daughter  of  John  Cleves  Symmes,  and  settling  at  North 
Bend,  where  his  remains  are  now  buried.  He  intently  studied  the 
Ohio  Mound  Builders  and  the  Ohio  Indians,  and  we  are  indebted  to  him 
for  much  valuable  investigation  and  information  on  those  subjects.  He 
surmises  the  Mound  Builders  may  have  been  the  Aztecs,  in  which  case 
"the  direct  course  of  their  journey  to  Mexico  and  the  facilities  which 
that  mode  of  retreat  would  afford  seem  to  point  out  the  descent  of  the 
Ohio  as  the  line  of  that  retreat.  It  was  here  (Miami  Fort)  that  a  fee- 
ble band  was  collected  to  make  a  last  effort  for  the  country  of  their 
birth,  the  ashes  of  their  ancestors,  and  the  altars  of  their  gods." 

Several  archaeological  authorities,  particularly  General  M.  C. 
Force,  in  his  interesting  essay  on  the  Ohio  Mound  Builders,  point  out 
that,  from  this  elevation,  a  line  of  signals  could  be  put  in  operation, 
which  in  extent  would  cover  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  State. 
This  signal  system  of  wireless  telegraphy  included,  according  to  Gen- 
eral Force,  the  numerous  prehistoric  works  on  the  Great  Miami,  dotting 
the  banks  of  which  they  stretched  in  a  line  as  far  north  as  modern 
Piqua,  "all  put  in  communication  with  each  other  by  signal  mounds 
erected  at  conspicuous  points." 

Fort  Ancient,  on  the  Little  Miami,  stands  as  a  citadel  in  the  rear 
of  the  centre  of  this  line.  It  is  easily  foremost  among  the  prehistoric 
fortifications  for  ingenuity  of  design  and  perfection  in  construction. 
The  site  selected  for  this  fortress,  temple,  or  walled  city,  whichever 
it  may  have  been,  was  most  advantageously  chosen,  on  a  slightly  roll- 
ing plateau,  overlooking  the  panoramic  valley  of  the  Little  Miami 
River,  in  central  Warren  County.  The  contour  of  the  hill  plateau  is 
like  that  of  a  dumb-bell,  two  almost  evenly  sized  fields  united  by  a 
long,  narrow  neck,  on  each  side  of  which  the  declivity  is  too  steep  for 
ascent.  This  narrow  connection  divides  the  defences  into  what  are 
known  as  the  north  or  New  Fort,  the  Middle  Fort,  and  the  South  or 
Old  Fort.  The  terms  "new"  and  "old"  were  suggested  by  the  idea  that 
the  South  Fort  on  the  apex  of  the  peninsula  was  naturally  the  first  one 
to  be  constructed,  as  it,  utilized  alone,  would  be  more  secure  and  inac- 
cessible than  the  new  one  which  was  later  taken  in  to  protect  the  entire 
hill-top.  The  entrance  to  the  Old  Fort  is  called  the  Great  Gateway. 
Just  within  the  entrance,  on  the  west  side,  is  a  conical  mound,  ten  feet 
high  with  a  base  diameter  of  forty  feet,  near  which  were  found  heaps 
of  stones,  used  both  as  coverings  for  graves  and  to  strengthen  the  wall. 
Human  bones  in  great  quantities  were  found  here,  a  few  inches  below 
the  surface  soil.  Near  the  centre  of  the  Old  Fort  was  located  the  larg- 

[294] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

est  burying-ground  of  this  fort  people.  Within  a  radius  of  a  hundred 
feet,  some  three  hundred  graves  were  found. 

That  the  great  enclosure  was,  to  a  certain  extent,  at  least,  a  walled 
city,  is  attested  by  the  remains  of  a  "village"  therein.  The  evidences 
were  the  circles  of  burned  earth,  ash  heaps,  pottery,  and  animal  frag- 
ments, bones  of  the  bear,  deer,  etc.,  charcoal,  burnt  stones,  etc.  No 
metal  implements  of  any  kind  were  found,  except  a  few  pieces  of  beaten 
copper.  Thousands  of  primitive  implements  of  war,  the  chase,  and  do- 
mestic life  were  found  in  the  fort  precincts. 

Like  all  other  works  of  this  early  people,  Fort  Ancient  was  un- 
mistakably the  product  of  builders  who  wrought  only  with  the  tools  of 
a  stone  age.  There  were  no  steam  shovels,  no  derrick  scoops  to  lift  the 
earth  and  dump  it  into  position.  Not  even  horses,  mules,  or  oxen  fa- 
cilitated the  labor.  It  should  be  said,  however,  that  there  is  one  theory 
in  favor  of  animal  aid.  Doctor  Frederick  Larkin,  in  his  "Ancient  Man 
in  America,"  introduces  the  suggestion  that  the  mastodon,  the  bones 
of  which  are  found  in  Ohio  and  elsewhere,  contemporaneously  with 
those  of  the  Mound  Builder,  was  "a  favorite  animal  and  used  as  a 
beast  of  burden  by  them."  He  adds:  "We  can  imagine  that  tremen- 
dous teams  have  been  driven  to  and  fro  in  the  vicinity  of  their  great 
works,  tearing  up  trees  by  the  roots  or  marching  with  their  armies  into 
the  fields  of  battle  amidst  showers  of  poisoned  arrows." 

The  lowland  enclosures  of  the  Mound  Builders  abound  in  the  val- 
leys of  the  Muskingum,  Scioto,  and  Little  Miami,  though  a  few  are 
found  in  other  parts  of  the  State.  The  earth-wall  structures  have  an 
endless  variety  of  forms,  and  appear  to  have  been  used  for  different 
purposes  which  are  now  past  determination.  The  most  common  fig- 
ures are  the  square  and  the  circle,  portions  of  each  of  which  are  em- 
ployed in  endless  combinations.  The  walls  themselves  contain  no  bury- 
ing-grounds  or  articles  of  any  kind  whatever,  and  therefore  give  no 
hint  of  the  mystery  locked  in  the  grass-grown,  weather-defying  earthen 
ramparts. 

The  most  intricate  of  these  nondescript  works  are  located  in  the 
Licking  Valley,  near  the  city  of  Newark.  In  Licking  County  there  are, 
or  were,  probably  five  hundred  earth  works  of  various  descriptions. 
Those  which  comprise  the  most  famous  groups  occupy  a  plain  between 
Raccoon  Creek  and  the  south  fork  of  Licking  Creek.  The  earth-walls, 
shaped  into  a  score  or  more  of  different  designs,  extend  over  an  area  of 
four  square  miles.  No  word  description  is  adequate  to  convey  to  the 
mind  of  the  reader  a  just  idea  of  the  magnitude  and  puzzling  character 

[295] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

of  these  works.  The  growth  of  the  city  of  Newark  has  encroached 
upon  the  original  works,  portions  of  which  were  thus  obliterated;  but 
the  group,  as  remaining  to-day,  surpasses  all  others  in  this  country  in 
size  and  intricacy  of  construction. 

That  the  country  round  about  the  present  site  of  Newark  was  a 
populous  one  with  the  Mound  Builder  is  partially  accounted  for  by  the 
location  of  the  great  flint  quarries  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the  pres- 
ent Licking  County.  The  Mound  Builder,  belonging  to  the  Stone  Age, 
knew  nothing  of  metals  and  much  less  of  the  art  of  reducing  ores  to 
useful  implements.  His  crude  utensils  were  solely  of  stone,  bone,  and 
wood — save  in  rare  instances  he  made  use  of  beaten  copper.  Flint  was 
his  most  valued  and  most  employed  raw  material,  because  of  its  com- 
pact, homogenous,  durable  texture.  This  rare  geologic  composition, 
that  Shakespeare  calls  "the  everlasting  flint,"  existed  in  vast  quantities 
in  a  vein  that  caps  the  hill-tops  in  a  range  between  the  present  sites  of 
Newark  and  Zanesville,  this  vein  giving  to  this  locality  the  name  of 
"Flint  Ridge."  This  Flint  Ridge  is  literally  honey-combed  in  every 
quarter  with  hundreds  of  pits  and  cavities  of  all  dimensions,  from  that 
of  a  scoop-out  a  few  feet  across  to  those  a  hundred  feet  in  diameter 
and  sunk  the  full  depth  of  the  vein.  Chips  of  all  sizes  are  still  found 
in  myriad  numbers  over  the  area  of  the  Ridge,  proving  the  immensity 
of  the  work  done  in  these  quarries,  which  were  the  exhaustless  mines 
for  both  the  Mound  Builder  and  his  successor,  the  Indian. 

The  Muskingum  Valley  is  rich  in  prehistoric  remains.  When  the 
Ohio  settlers  came  to  the  place  they  named  Marietta,  they  found,  not 
the  ruins,  but  the  undisturbed  remains  of  a  town,  founded  and  left  by 
a  prehistoric  people,  of  whom  the  Indian  delegation  which  greeted  the 
Ohio  Company  of  Associates  upon  their  arrival  could  give  no  knowl- 
edge  or  surmise. 

Dropping  down  the  Ohio  to  Portsmouth,  the  mouth  of  the  Scioto 
brings  us  to  one  of  the  most  remarkable  series  of  works  in  the  State. 
A  curious  arrangement  of  circles,  semi-circles,  and  horse-shoe  figures 
is  located  east  of  the  present  city  upon  the  terrace  above  the  river. 
From  this  puzzling  group,  parallel  walls  extend  two  miles  due  west  to 
no  apparent  destination,  while  a  second  pair  of  walls  stretch  southwest 
to  the  city  limits.  Still  a  third  set  of  parallel  embankments,  starting 
from  the  same  central  group,  extend  three  miles  southeast  to  the  Ohio 
River  bed.  Immediately  opposite  the  terminus  of  the  Ohio  graded  way, 
the  parallels  are  resumed  on  the  Kentucky  side,  near  the  mouth  of 
Tygart  River,  and  continue  a  mile  and  a  half  to  and  into  the  centre  of  a 

[296] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

series  of  four  concentric  earthen  circles,  the  outside  one  of  which  is 
probably  over  a  mile  in  circumference.  This  river-divided  scheme  de- 
fies explanation.  Squier  and  Davis,  after  describing  the  works,  con- 
clude: "And  it  is  easy,  while  standing  on  its  summit  (Kentucky  conical 
mound)  to  people  it  with  the  strange  priesthood  of  ancient  supersti- 
tion, and  to  fill  its  avenues  and  line  its  walls  with  the  thronging  de- 
votees of  a  mysterious  worship.  Whatever  may  have  been  the  divinity 
of  their  belief,  order,  symmetry,  and  design  were  among  his  attributes; 
if,  as  appears  most  likely,  the  works  that  most  strongly  exhibit  these 
features  were  dedicated  to  religious  purposes,  and  were  symbolical  in 
their  design."  Indeed,  it  would  seem  that  no  other  motive  than  relig- 
ious zeal  would  impel  a  people  to  the  creation  of  works  so  enigmatical 
and  so  vast. 

As  alre'ady  noted,  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  State,  the  val- 
leys of  the  Scioto  and  the  Miamis  and  the  intervening  territory,  was  the 
chief  land  of  the  Mound  Builder,  the  region  where  "his  name  was  le- 
gion." One  of  the  probable  theories  concerning  the  migratory  course 
of  this  mysterious  people,  is  that  they  came  from  the  far  South,  up  the 
Mississippi ;  thence  ascended  the  Ohio,  and,  because  of  the  equable  cli- 
mate, fertility  of  soil,  suitable  contour  of  land,  and  advantages  of  the 
water  courses,  chose  for  their  settlements  the  hill-tops  and  valley  bot- 
toms skirting  the  Ohio  streams. 

If  the  fifteen  hundred  "enclosures,"  existing,  or  known  to  have 
existed  until  recently,  in  Ohio,  present  an  inexhaustible  study  in  their 
extent  and  variety,  then  the  isolated  mounds,  the  estimated  total  num- 
ber of  which  in  the  State  exceeds,  or  did  but  a  few  years  ago,  the  appall- 
ing number  of  ten  thousand,  must  surpass  our  comprehension.  The 
mounds  are  comparatively  scarce  in  the  northwestern  and  southeastern 
part  of  the  State ;  in  the  northeast  they  are  often  found ;  but  in  the  cen- 
tre and  southwest  they  prevail  in  almost  countless  numbers.  In  size 
they  vary  from  a  knoll  three  feet  in  height  and  less  than  twenty  feet 
in  base  diameter  to  the  largest  one,  that  at  Miamisburg,  sixty-eight  feet 
in  perpendicular  altitude,  eight  hundred  and  fifty  feet  in  base  circum- 
ference, and  containing  over  a  million  cubic  feet  of  earth.  The  most 
of  these  mounds  are  conical  shaped,  with  a  "flat  dome  or  segment  of  a 
sphere."  They  are  simply  piles  of  earth, — except  where,  rarely,  stones 
are  used, — heaped  together  without  the  slightest  evidence  of  any  me- 
chanical assistance. 

The  erection  of  the  mounds,  so  far  as  known,  was  for  two  pur- 
poses:, first,  as  watch-towers,  this  usually  when  they  were  built  on  the 

[297] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

hill-tops;  and,  second,  those  on  the  lowlands,  as  tombs  or  sepulchres, 
the  receptacles  of  the  dead.  The  burial  mound  was  the  first,  and  the 
universal  architectural  expression  of  primitive  man,  and  the  earliest 
glimpse  we  get  of  any  people  is  the  earthen  mound  containing  the  re- 
mains of  the  tribal  hero  or  chief,  or  departed  kin.  These  burial 
mounds,  of  crudest  form,  everywhere  more  or  less  similar  in  shape  and 
material,  are  found  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth:  in  Russia, 
China,  Japan,  India,  Egypt,  Greece, — wherever  man  has  found  habita- 
tion. Homer  recounts  in  the  Odyssey  how,  over  the  ashes  of  Patro- 
clus  and  Antilochus,  "a  great  and  symmetrical  tumulus"  was  raised 
that  "it  might  be  seen  from  afar  by  the  living  and  by  future  genera- 
tions of  men."  Likewise,  "a  mound,  with  all  speed,  was  erected  over 
the  grave"  of  Hector. 

It  should  be  understood  that  we  are  examining  only  tumuli  belong- 
ing to  prehistoric  man,  and  not  the  mounds  attributed  to  later  Indians. 
The  Indians — the  historic  Indians  — did  occasionally  engage  in  mound 
building,  but  so  seldom  that,  for  the  purposes  of  our  study,  we  do  not 
take  their  works  into  consideration. 

The  researches  in  the  ancient  mounds  establish  the  fact  that  more 
than  nine-tenths  of  them  contain  human  remains,  thereby  demonstrat- 
ing that  their  prime  purpose  was  sepulchral.  The  interiors  of  the 
mounds  disclose  altars — low  tables  or  basins — differing  in  form,  size, 
and  material,  the  latter  being  clay,  sand,  stone,  or  ashes.  Again,  the 
remains  revealed  modes  of  incineration  either  before  or  at  the  time  of 
burial.  More  often  than  otherwise  ornaments,  war  implements,  domes- 
tic utensils,  were  buried  with  the  dead.  It  is  from  these  that  we  learn 
much  of  the  nature  and  life  of  the  Mound  Builders. 

The  Mound  Builder  seems  to  have  been  universally  a  smoker,  for 
his  pipes,  stone  and  clay,  were  everywhere  in  evidence,  and  the  art  of 
their  manufacture  must  have  been  a  favorite  one. 

On  the  Scioto  River,  six  miles  north  of  Chillicothe,  was  before  its 
destruction,  the  Gartner  Mound.  This  mound,  standing  on  the  site  of 
a  prehistoric  village  with  an  area  of  four  acres,  was  a  triple  structure, 
comprising  three  separate  mounds,  the  intervening  spaces  having  been 
subsequently  filled  in  so  as  to  complete  the  triple  composite  elevation, 
which  was  eight  feet  high  and  seventy-five  in  diameter.  All  three  sec- 
tions were  replete  with  skeleton  burials,  or  the  charred  remains  of  cre- 
mated bodies.  The  village  site  surrounding  this  mound  is  known  to 
have  been  a  residence  centre,  from  the  evidential  remains,  such  as  te- 
pee pole  holes,  ash  and  storage  pits,  bake  cavities  or  ovens,  and  the 

[298] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

countless  articles  buried  beneath  the  surface  or  scattered  promiscuously 
above  the  ground.  Vast  quantities  of  animal — no  less  than  seventeen 
varieties — and  bird  bones  were  strewn  about.  There  were  fine  speci- 
mens of  stone  hammers,  shell,  flint,  and  bone  scrapers,  whetstones  to 
sharpen  objects  made  of  bone  and  shell,  pipes,  pendants,  beads,  pestles 
and  mortars,  bone  fish-hooks  and  net  sinkers,  the  latter  pebbles  notched 
or  grooved  so  that  the  fibre  or  skin  string  might  be  fastened  about 
them.  The  Mound  Builder  was  an  expert  in  the  piscatorial  art. 

The  storage  pits  of  this  village  exhibited  the  food  productions 
and  "bill  of  fare"  of  the  primitive  man.  More  than  one  hundred  of 
these  large  holes  sunk  in  the  ground  were  uncovered.  In  these  pits, 
sometimes  several  feet  in  depth  and  diameter,  often  with  a  flooring  of 
straw  or  bark  that  also  lined  the  walls,  were  found  beans,  shelled  corn 
in  woven  bags,  or  ears  of  corn  laid  in  regular  order  upon  the  bottom, 
seeds  of  the  pawpaw,  hickory  nuts,  walnuts,  chestnuts,  seeds  of  the 
wild  red  plum,  etc.  But  more  interesting  still  were  the  two  "clam 
ovens,"  or  mussel  "bakes,"  made  by  digging  an  opening  in  the  ground 
five  feet  deep  and  four  in  diameter.  Each  oven  had  been  burned  until 
the  clay  on  the  bottom  and  sides  was  red  to  the  depth  of  several  inches. 
The  baking  process  was  simple.  A  fire  was  started  in  the  oven,  quan- 
tities of  small  boulders  were  thrown  upon  the  fire,  and  upon  these 
heated  stones  mussels  of  small  size  were  heaped  till  the  pit  was  filled, 
when  the  top  was,  no  doubt,  covered  over  with  grass,  and  the  mussels 
left  to  bake.  After  the  feast,  the  shells  were  thrown  into  the  empty 
pits.  Thousands  and  thousands  of  these  shells  lay  near  the  two  ovens. 

Another  of  the  chief  village  sites  that  proved  a  mine  of  informa- 
tion for  the  explorer  is  that  of  Baum  Village,  on  Paint  Creek,  a  few 
miles  from  its  entrance  into  the  Scioto,  and  within  sight  of  the  Spruce 
Hill  fortification.  The  village  extends  over  more  than  ten  acres  of 
ground,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  a  large  square  mound.  Immediately 
adjoining  the  village  are  extensive  wall  enclosures  in  circular  and 
square  form,  embracing  some  seventy  acres.  In  Baum  Village  the  evi- 
dence is  that  the  domiciles  in  which  the  prehistoric  man  lived  were 
permanent  and  not  temporary  abodes,  evidencing  that  the  Mound 
Builder  was  stationary  rather  than  migratory  in  his  habits.  This  con- 
clusion is  further  sustained  by  the  magnitude  and  permanency  of  his 
fortifications  and  enclosures.  The  largest  tepee  in  the  village  was 
twenty-two  feet  long  and  twelve  feet  wide.  In  its  centre  was  the  great 
fireplace,  four  feet  in  diameter  and  six  inches  deep,  the  hearth  being 
bowl-shaped,  and  the  packed  earth  forming  it  burned  to  a  brick  red  to 

[299] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

the  depth  of  eight  inches.  The  accumulated  debris  about  this  hearth 
was  filled  with  implements  and  ornaments,  polished  stones,  broken  pot- 
tery, hammer  stones,  a  large  mortar,  and  bones  of  animals. 

The  village  was  a  cluster  of  tepees,  all  smaller  than  the  one  de- 
scribed. Adjacent  to  each  one  was,  usually,  a  subterranean  storehouse 
and  a  burial  place.  These  three,  the  tepee,  the  store-cellar,  and  the 
grave,  completed  the  home  requirements  of  the  Mound  Builder. 

Here  were  found  in  great  numbers  the  bones  of  the  prehistoric 
dog,  the  only  domestic  animal  attributed  to  these  ancient  people.  Pro- 
fessor Putnam,  of  Harvard  University,  who  has  collected  bones  of  the 
prehistoric  canine  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  and  found  the  same  type 
everywhere,  says  "this  variety  of  dog  is  apparently  identical  with  the 
pure  blood  Scotch  Collie  of  to-day,"  and  he  f  uther  comments,  "if  this  is 
the  case,  the  prehistoric  dog  in  America,  Europe,  and  Egypt,  and  its 
persistence  to  the  present  time  as  a  thoroughbred,  is  suggestive  of  a 
distinct  species  of  the  genus  can  is,  which  was  domesticated  several 
thousand  years  ago,  and  also  that  the  prehistoric  dog  in  America  was 
brought  to  this  continent  by  very  early  emigrants  from  the  old  world." 

The  Harness  Mound  was  one  of  the  largest  of  a  group,  eight  miles 
south  of  Chillicothe.  Judging  from  the  material  and  craftsmanship 
here  discovered  in  great  profusion,  one  may  readily  infer  that  the  Har- 
ness Mound  Builders  were  people  capable  of  artistic  taste  and  delicate 
workmanship.  The  copper  plates,  one  nine  inches  in  length  by  five  in 
breadth,  were  the  finest  found  in  the  Ohio  mounds.  Beautiful  copper 
axes,  one  being  half  a  foot  in  length,  and  proportionately  broad,  were 
removed  from  the  sepulchre  graves.  Copper  earrings  were  plentiful, 
their  construction  evidencing  rare  skill  and  ingenuity.  They  consisted 
of  two  similar  copper  disks,  varying  in  size  from  a  silver  quarter  to  a 
dollar,  made  bulging  or  concavo-convex,  the  two  disks  being  connected 
in  the  centre  by  a  uniting  bar.  These  earrings,  produced  with  many 
diverse  details  as  to  size,  shape,  form  of  rim,  etc.,  were  attached  to  the 
ear  by  thrusting  the  connecting  bar  through  the  perforated  ear-lobe. 

There  must  not  be  omitted  mention  of  the  Madisonville  cemetery 
and  village  site,  located  in  the  eastern  section  of  Hamilton  County, 
about  thirty  miles  southwest  from  Fort  Ancient.  The  village  site  is  on 
a  level  plateau.  The  cemetery  is  On  a  spur  reaching  out  and  down  from 
the  plateau,  which  is  bounded  on  two  sides  by  deep  and  precipitous  ra- 
vines. This  cemetery  is  the  great  "city  of  the  dead"  of  the  prehistoric 
people.  It  covers  an  area  of  fifteen  acres,  all  over-grown  with  stately 
trees,  the  roots  of  many  of  which  held  in  their  firm  grasp  the  crumbling 

[300] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

bones  of  the  ancient  dead.  The  explorations  of  these  catacombs  have 
been  conducted  at  intervals  over  a  period  of  forty  years,  and  nearly 
four  thousand  skeletons,  entire  or  in  portions,  have  been  removed, 
though  a  large  section  of  the  cemetery  is  still  undisturbed. 

These  prehistoric  people  were  speechless  save  in  their  monuments 
and  the  mementoes  they  contain.  True,  it  has  been  claimed  that  in- 
scribed tablets  have  been  found  in  these  mounds,  evidencing  that  the 
Mound  Builder  had  a  written  language.  Several  alleged  records  have 
been  unearthed  in  the  Ohio  mounds,  but  in  every  instance  these  so- 
called  hieroglyphics  have  been  proven  to  be  modern  intrusions,  or  de- 
ceptions, or  unintelligible  scrawls.  The  "Cincinnati  Tablet,"  removed 
from  a  mound  once  standing  in  the  precincts  of  that  city,  was  undoubt- 
edly genuine  as  to  its  place  of  exhumation  and  its  antiquity,  but  no  one 
has  ever  been  able  to  determine  that  the  inscriptions  carved  thereon 
are  other  than  mere  fanciful  and  meaningless  lines. 

But,  if  the  Mound  Builder  was  unlettered,  he  was  a  religious  be- 
ing. He  had  his  faith,  his  sanctuaries,  and  undoubtedly  his  ceremonial 
worship.  The  Serpent  Mound,  the  greatest  effigy  structure  of  the 
Mound  Builders  in  America,  is  a  huge  earthen  bas-relief,  representing 
a  serpent  resting  his  curving  folds  upon  the  summit  of  a  bluff  that  rises 
a  hundred  feet  above  Brush  Creek  in  Adams  County.  This  bluff  pro- 
jects abruptly  into  the  valley,  which,  with  its  flanking  hills,  forms  an 
open  arena  or  amphitheatre  some  two  miles  in  diameter.  Upon  the 
crest  of  this  high  ridge  lies  in  graceful  and  gigantic  undulations  the 
Great  Serpent,  so  located  that  it  may  be  seen  in  its  majestic  length  and 
snake-splendor  from  far  and  near  in  the  plains  below.  The  serpent, 
beginning  with  its  tip  end,  starts  in  a  triple  coil  of  the  tail  on  the  most 
marked  elevation  of  the  ridge  and  extends  along  down  the  lowering 
crest  in  beautiful  folds,  curving  gracefully  to  right  and  left  in  easy  and 
natural  convolutions,  with  head  and  neck  stretched  out  serpent-like  and 
pointed  to  the  west.  The  head  is  apparently  turned  upon  its  right  side, 
with  the  great  mouth  wide  open,  the  extremities  of  the  jaws  united  by 
a  concave  bank,  immediately  in  front  of  which  is  a  large  oval  or  egg- 
shaped  hollow,  eighty-six  feet  long  and  thirty  feet  wide  at  is  greatest 
inside  transverse.  The  head  of  the  serpent  across  the  point  of  union  of 
the  jaws  is  thirty  feet  wide,  the  jaws  and  connecting  crescent  five  feet 
high.  The  entire  length  of  the  serpent,  following  the  convolutions,  is 
thirteen  hundred  and  thirty-five  feet.  Its  width,  at  the  largest  portion 
of  the  body,  is  twenty  feet.  At  the  tail  the  width  is  no  more  than  three 
feet.  Here  the  height  is  from  three  to  four  feet,  which  increases  to-

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

ward  the  centre  of  the  body  to  a  height  of  five  or  six  feet.  Such  is 
the  size  of  the  enormous  earthen  reptile,  as  it  has  lain,  basking  in  the 
suns  or  shivering  in  the  snows  of  many  centuries.  The  effect  the  sight 
of  it  produces,  from  close  inspection  or  from  distant  view,  can  scarcely 
be  imagined  or  described. 

Professor  Putnam,  to  whom  is  due  the  credit  of  the  restoration 
and  preservation  of  the  mound,  says,  in  his  account  of  his  first  visit: 
"The  graceful  curves  throughout  the  whole  length  of  this  singular 
effigy  give  it  a  strange,  life-like  appearance;  as  if  a  huge  serpent, 
slowly  uncoiling  itself  and  creeping  silently  and  stealthily  along  the 
crest  of  the  hill,  was  about  to  seize  the  oval  within  its  extended  jaws. 
Late  in  the  afternoon,  when  the  lights  and  shades  are  brought  out  in 
strong  relief,  the  effect  is  indeed  strange  and  weird ;  and  this  effect  is 
heightened  still  more  when  the  full  moon  lights  up  the  scene  and  the 
stillness  is  broken  by  the  'whoo-whoo,  hoo-hoo'  of  the  unseen  bird  of 
night." 

Examination  into  various  sections  of  the  serpent  demonstrated 
that  nothing  was  buried  therein.  The  mound  was  ingeniously  con- 
structed in  layers  of  different  natural  material,  there  being  stone  at  the 
base,  covered  with  yellow  clay,  over  which  came  a  stratum  of  dark  soil, 
and  then  the  final  topping  of  sod. 

It  is  the  teaching  of  ethnology  that  primitive  man,  at  one  time  wor- 
shipped inanimate  nature,  rocks,  sun,  and  stars,  and  also  the  trees; 
then,  advancing  a  stage,  worshipped  nature  in  animal  forms.  Of  these, 
the  serpent  was  foremost,  the  "mysterious  stranger  in  the  grass,  who 
overcame  with  honey  words"  the  Mother  of  the  human  race. 

While  the  explorer  found  in  the  Serpent  Mound  no  secret  of  its 
age  or  purpose,  much  was  revealed  as  to  the  Mound  Builders  in  the 
small  mounds  and  isolated  sub-surface  burials  on  the  hill  summit,  not 
far  from  the  serpentine  structure.  Here  Professor  Putnam  found 
inhumations,  the  most  ancient  of  any  discovered  in  Ohio,  as  proven  by 
their  relative  placements  in  the  strata  of  the  various  clays  and  subse- 
quent coverings  by  other  soils  and  vegetation  deposits  and  layers,  the 
formation  of  which  must  have  been  due  to  nature,  the  slow  work  of 
which  required  centuries  of  time  to  thus  cast  its  coverings  over  the  arti- 
ficial work  of  ancient  man. 

From  archaeological,  chemical,  geological,  and  botanical  testi- 
mony, scholars  conclude  these  earthen  works  are  at  least  hundreds  of 
years  old,  and  perhaps  thousands.  They  were  unquestionably  com- 
pleted and  abandoned  before  the  Columbian  discoveries  of  America. 

[302] 


THE  MOUND  BUILDERS  OF  OHIO 

No  European  articles  are  found  in  any  of  the  mounds;  except  where, 
in  some  instances,  there  have  been  injections  into  the  mounds  of  his- 
toric burials,  sometimes  Indian  interments,  with  accompanying  modern 
ornaments  or  implements. 

And  still  the  query  arises :  Who  were  the  Mound  Builders?  And 
still  the  query  is  unsolved  and  insolvable.  Until  a  generation  ago,  the 
general  opinion  of  archaeologists  was  that  the  Mound  Builders  were  a 
distinct  and  separate  race  from  the  American  Indian,  and  that  the 
skillful  and  ingenious  architects  of  these  earthen  structures  fled  the 
field  before  the  Indian  appeared,  or  possibly  were  driven  out  by  the 
invading  and  conquering  Redmen. 

The  later,  more  thorough,  and  more  scientific  study  of  the  mounds 
and  their  contents  has  led  the  archaeologists  to  revise  their  former  the- 
ory, and  they  now  mainly  agree  that  the  Mound  Builder  was  the  ances- 
tor or  progenitor  of  the  American  Indian,  the  remoteness  of  the  rela- 
tionship, however,  being  undetermined.  The  Indian  progenitor  theory 
is  supported  by  the  similarity  of  the  artifacts  found  in  the  prehistoric 
mounds  to  the  implements  made  by  the  historic  Indian.  But  the  reply 
to  this  undoubted  resemblance  is  that  the  first  products  of  primitive 
man's  handiwork  are  the  same  the  world  over.  The  peace  and  war 
stone  implements  exhumed  by  Schliemann  from  the  ruins  of  Troy  can- 
not be  distinguished,  when  placed  side  by  side,  from  those  found  in  the 
mounds  of  Ohio. 

Not  a  few  writers,  in  favor  of  the  Indian  theory,  point  to  the  claim 
that  certain  Indian  tribes  were  known  to  erect  mounds,  and  the  Chero- 
kees,  Mandans,  and  Natchez  are  especially  cited.  The  chroniclers  who 
accompanied  de  Soto  in  his  journey  (1540)  from  Florida  to  the  Missis- 
sippi noted  that  the  Cherokees  built  mounds,  upon  the  summits  of  which 
they  located  their  dwellings.  The  Mandans  of  the  West  are  said  to 
have  lived  in  circular  earth  lodges,  partly  under  ground.  Likewise,  the 
Natchez,  in  the  territory  of  the  Lower  Mississippi,  "raised  mounds  of 
earth  upon  which  to  erect  their  dwellings  and  temples."  Many  schol- 
ars who  have  studied  the  innumerable  effigy  mounds  of  Wisconsin  at- 
tribute those  monuments,  though  their  age  is  unknown,  to  the  Winne- 
bago  tribe  of  Indians. 

But,  whatever  may  be  the  inferences  of  relationship  between  the 
Mound  Builders  and  the  Indians  elsewhere,  the  Ohio  mounds  suggest 
meagre,  if  any,  cultural  similarity  to  the  Ohio  Indians  or  to  the  tribes 
of  any  other  sections ;  nor  had  the  Ohio  tribes  any  tradition,  much  less 
knowledge,  of  the  builders  of  the  mounds,  that  could  throw  any  light 
upon  the  obscurity  of  the  subject. 

[303] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

If  the  Indian  theory  be  correct,  it  must  be  admitted  that  the  North 
American  historic  Indian,  who  was  discovered  by  the  invading  Euro- 
pean, must  have  been  a  degenerate  and  unworthy  descendant  of  his 
distant  forbear,  the  Mound  Builder.  "A  broad  chasm  is  to  be  spanned 
before  we  can  link  the  Mound  Builders  to  the  North  American  In- 
dians," says  a  leading  scholar  of  the  American  races,  for  the  North 
Indian,  in  his  best  historic  periods,  never  displayed  an  architectural 
talent,  an  artistic  ingenuity,  or  a  trait  of  industry,  at  all  comparable  to 
those  characteristics  so  unquestionably  the  possession  of  the  Mound 
Builder. 

Volumes  have  been  written  upon  the  origin  and  racial  identity  of 
the  Mound  Builders.  Arguments  have  been  put  forth  that  they  were 
the  Lost  Tribes  of  Israel ;  that  they  came  in  the  twilight  of  ancient  his- 
tory from  Japan,  China,  and  other  Oriental  race  centres;  that  they 
were  the  lineal  predecessors  of  the  Toltecs ;  that  they  later  emigrated 
from  North  to  South  America  and  displayed  there  in  wonderful  tem- 
ples the  constructive  powers  they  inherited  from  their  mound  building 
ancestors ;  reversely,  that  the  Mound  Builders  were  the  descendants  of 
the  Toltecs,  and  from  Mexico  ascended  the  Mississippi  Valley  and  dot- 
ted that  great  basin  and  its  tributary,  the  Ohio  Valley,  with  their  count- 
less monuments  of  earth ;  again,  that  they  were  the  kin  of  the  Aztecs, 
perhaps  a  branch  of  that  warlike  and  art-loving  people ;  again,  that  the 
prehistoric  Americans  were  the  descendants  of  the  South  American 
Indians ;  and  so  on,  until  speculation  and  conjecture  have  been  ex- 
hausted. But  all  in  vain !  The  Mound  Builder's  identity,  the  time  of 
his  entry  and  his  exit,  the  duration  of  his  stay, — all  belong  to  the  realm 
of  the  unknown.

HARMAN    BLENNEKHASSETT 

A  romantic  figure  in  the  chronicles  of  Ohio,  whose  life  of 
.scholarship,  cultured  wealth,  and  domestic  serenity,  drawn 
into  the  dark  whirlpool  of  Aaron  Burr's  political  scheming, 
ended  in  poverty  in  1831.  An  Irishman  of  good  lineage, 
though  born  in  England,  he  and  his  wife  canrre  to  Ohio  in 
1798.  He  supplied  Burr  with  funds  and  joined  in  his  activi- 
ties. Indicted  for  treason  against  the  United  States,  he  was 
released  in  1807,  on  Burr's  acquittal  of  the  same  charge. 


AARON    BURR 

Much  of  his  activity,  believed  to  be  for  the  treasonable  pur- 
pose of  separating  a  part  of  the  country  from  the  Union,  took 
place  in  Ohio,  where,  during  1806  and  1807,  he  was  in  Mari- 
etta. Chillicothe.  and  Cincinnati.  According  to  general  belief, 
his  plot  was  aided  by  funds  and  support  from  Harman  Blen- 
nerhassett  of  Ohio. 


THEODOSIA     BURR    ALSTON 

The  beautiful  and  brilliant  daughter  of  Aaron  Burr,  perhaps 
the  only  person  on  whom  he  ever  bestowed  a  devoted  and  pure 
affection,  which  she  returned  with  an  ardor  of  filial  love 
rarely  surpassed,  she  became  the  wife  of  Joseph  Alston,  after- 
ward the  Governor  of  South  Carolina.  Her  death  is  folded  in 
tragic  mystery.  Lost  at  sea,  in  1813,  it  has  been  believed  that 
she  was  forced  by  pirates,  who  had  captured  the  ship,  to 
walk  off  a  plank  into  the  ocean.

WAS  born  so  near  Plymouth  Rock  that  in  making  my 
initial  appearance  in  this  increasingly  wonderful 
world  my  tiny  toes,  figuratively  speaking,  grazed 
the  smoothly  worn  side  of  the  now  world-famous  land- 
ing-place of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers. 

__        __  In  the  Old  Bay  State,  and  in  historic  Plymouth 

County,  I  passed  my  superlatively  happy  earlier  boyhood,  of  which  I 
still  cherish  the  fondest  recollections;  of  the  exquisite  pleasure,  espe- 
cially, of  hanging  May  baskets  and  June  boxes  in  their  respective 
months. 

My  later  boyhood,  however,  was  spent  in  New  Haven  County, 
Connecticut;  and  from  that  County,  in  1862,  1  entered  the  Union  Army 
as  one  of  Lincoln's  Boys  in  Blue,  in  which,  with  the  exception  of  about 
five  months,  I  served  until  July,  1865,  when,  by  reason  of  the  close  of 
the  four  years'  struggle  for  the  preservation  of  national  unity,  I  was 
mustered  out  of  Uncle  Sam's  service  and  resumed  my  residence  amid 
the  scenes  of  my  later  boyhood. 

It  was  in  the  "Nutmeg  State,"  and  in  grand  old  Litchfield  County, 
that  I  began  my  work  as  a  Christian  minister,  though  I  have  since  oc- 
cupied fields  of  labor  in  Massachusetts,  my  native  State,  New  York, 
and  New  Jersey  ;  in  which  latter  State  I  have  continuously  resided  for 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century. 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

In  1894  I  delivered  an  historical  discourse  commemorative  of  the 
sixtieth  anniversary  of  the  dedication  of  the  church  edifice  in  which 
there  worshipped  the  religious  organization  of  which  I  was  the  regu- 
larly installed  pastor.  This  discourse  was  subsequently  published  in 
pamphlet  form  by  the  officials  of  my  church,  and  has  found  its  way 
into  public  and  private  libraries. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  historical  discourse  I  made  careful  and 
thorough  research  of  town  and  county  annals,  which  I  found  to  be  of 
truly  absorbing  interest,  especially  those  portions  of  county  history 
treating  of  the  Colonial  and  Revolutionary  periods.  My  attention, 
however,  was  more  especially  drawn  to  the  annals  of  Morristown,  the 
County-seat  of  Morris  County;  and,  being  strongly  impressed  with 
the  idea  that  no  suitable  nor  adequate  history  of  Morristown  had  been 
written,  I  resolved  that  at  some  future  time  I  would  undertake  that 
work.  I  therefore  began  to  gather  materials  for  my  contemplated  his- 
tory ;  and,  at  the  end  of  about  fourteen  years  I  put  the  materials  accum- 
ulated into  shape  for  a  book,  which  in  1905  was  published  under  the 
title  of  "Historic  Morristown,  New  Jersey:  The  Story  of  its  First 
Century." 

In  connection  with  the  gathering  of  materials  and  photographs  for 
that  portion  of  Morristown's  rare  history  including  the  Revolution,  I 
again  and  again  visited  the  sites  of  the  various  camping-grounds  of  the 
American  army  encamped  in  Morris  County,  New  Jersey,  in  the  win- 
ters of  1776-77  and  1779-80;  and  among  the  camping-ground  sites  vis- 
ited was  that  of  the  two  brigades  of  Connecticut  troops  encamped  there 
during  the  last  winter  mentioned. 

I  have  a  most  distinct  recollection  of  the  first  time  I  visited  the 
site  of  the  camping-grounds  of  the  Connecticut  brigades.  It  was  on  a 
day  following  a  copious  spring  rain,  and  the  leaf-strewn  ground  was  so 
thoroughly  wet  that,  after  a  two  hours'  tramp,  I  returned  home  with 
water-soaked  shoes  and  socks ;  but,  if  it  had  been  necessary  for  me  to 
stand  in  a  running  stream,  I  would  not  have  missed  the  opportunity  of 
seeing  and  experiencing  what  I  saw  and  experienced  on  that  interesting 
spring  morning. 

The  gentleman  who  guided  me  to  and  over  the  site  of  the  camping- 
grounds  of  the  Connecticut  brigades  on  the  occasion  mentioned  was 
Emory  McClintock,  LL.  D.,  an  eminent  mathematician,  who  for  sev- 
eral years  was  an  honored  and  efficient  official  of  the  Mutual  Life 
Insurance  Company,  of  New  York.  Mr.  McClintock,  at  the  time  of  our 
memorable  visit  to  these  camping-grounds,  was  a  resident  of  Morris- 

[322] 


THE   REVOLUTIONARY   CAMPING   GROUNDS 

town,  and  he  had  devoted  no  inconsiderable  amount  of  time  to  research 
along  not  only  local  but  general  historical  lines,  the  fruitful  results  of 
which  were  embodied  in  addresses,  pamphlets,  etc.,  which  will  mate- 
rially aid  future  historians. 

Thus  much  I  have  deemed  it  proper  to  say  in  explanation  of  the 
fact  that  a  native  and  lover  still  of  New  England  is  now  a  resident  of 
New  Jersey  and  has  made  a  special  and  exhaustive  study  of  the  rare 
history  of  Morris  County,  New  Jersey,  and  more  especially  of  Morris- 
town,  its  beautiful  County-seat,  and  the  residence,  by  the  way,  of  mil- 
lionaires and  multi-millionaires  by  the  scores. 

Than  Morristown  and  vicinity,  I  am  impelled,  as  an  ardent  lover 
of  our  marvellous  national  history,  to  say  in  passing,  there  is  no  more 
interesting  section,  historically,  in  the  United  States ;  not  that  any  bat- 
tles were  fought  there,  or  in  the  immediate  vicinity,  but  that  in  this  sec- 
tion of  the  State  Washington  and  his  patriot  army  were  twice  en- 
camped during  the  Revolution.  In  the  winter  of  1776-77  the  American 
army  was  encamped  at  Lowantica  Valley,  about  two  and  a  half  miles 
to  the  southeastward  of  Morristown  village ;  and  in  the  winter  of  1779- 
80  it  was  encamped  on  the  Kemble  and  Wick  farms,  from  two  and  a 
half  to  four  miles  to  the  southwestward  of  Morristown  village.  Knox's 
brigade  of  heavy  artillery,  however,  was  encamped  on  the  hills,  about  a 
mile  to  the  westward  of  Morristown  village,  on  the  road  to  Mendham. 

During  the  encampment  of  Washington's  army  in  Morristown 
and  vicinity  very  much  transpired  in  connection  with  these  sojourns 
which  is  of  great  interest  to  all  true  Americans. 

I  have  said  that  no  battles  were  fought  in  Morristown  or  in  its 
immediate  vicinity  during  the  Revolution,  but,  in  justice  to  Washing- 
ton's army  which  wintered  there,  this  statement  should  be  modified  by 
adding — no  battles  save  those  fought  with  cold  and  hunger  and  ex- 
treme privation;  for  the  second  winter  of  the  patriot  army  in  this  sec- 
tion of  the  State  was  the  severest  ever  experienced  by  the  inhabitants 
of  Morris  County.  Indeed,  the  story  of  the  sufferings  of  the  Amer- 
ican army  during  that  awful  winter  is  sufficient  to  stir  to  white  heat 
the  slumbering  emotions  of  every  lover  of  his  country  and  of  its  dearly 
purchased  independence ! 

If  we  go  to  the  southwestward  from  the  Morristown  Green,  or 
Park,  as  some  prefer  to  call  it,  down  what,  since  Colonial  days,  has 
been  known  as  the  Jockey  Hollow  Road,  about  four  miles,  and  at  its 
terminus  turn  to  the  left  and  go  about  a  mile  to  the  southward,  and  then 
turn  again  to  the  left,  or  east,  and  go  a  short  distance  into  a  piece  of

MORRIS  COUNTY,    NEW  JERSEY,    WINTER  OF   1779-80 


THE   REVOLUTIONARY   CAMPING   GROUNDS 

woods,  we  shall  find  ourselves  on  the  site  of  the  camping-grounds  of 
the  two  Connecticut  brigades  encamped  in  Morris  County,  New  Jersey, 
in  the  winter  of  1779-80. 

The  first  brigade  of  Connecticut  troops  lay  nearest  to  and  parallel 
with  the  road  still  known  as  the  Fort  Hill  road ;  while  the  second  bri- 
gade lay  further  away  from  the  same  road. 

The  camp  of  the  first  brigade  ran  northeasterly  and  southwesterly 
and  the  camp  of  the  second  brigade  ran  about  north  and  south.  The 
location  chosen  for  the  Connecticut  camps  was  almost  an  ideal  one 
in  essential  respects. 

From  Mr.  McClintock  the  following  is  quoted:  "Each  camp" — of 
the  entire  army — "was  like  all  the  others,  except  for  variations  com- 
pelled by  inequalities  of  ground.  The  brigade  parade  was,  if  possible, 
in  front  of  the  jhes  of  huts.  The  huts  of  the  officers,  each  accom- 
modating three  or  four,  were  in  a  line  by  themselves.  Before  reaching 
the  grounds  selected  by  General  Greene  for  the  camps,  the  whole  army 
had  received  from  Washington  this  emphatic  warning:  'Any  hut  not 
exactly  conformable  to  the  plan,  or  the  least  out  of  line,  shall  be  pulled 
down  and  built  again.'  The  result  is  shown  in  the  description  given  on 
December  22,  1779,  by  the  writer  from  Baskingridge  already  quoted: 
'The  encampments  are  exceedingly  neat ;  the  huts  are  all  of  a  size  and 
placed  in  more  exact  order  than  Philadelphia.  You  would  be  sur- 
prised to  see  how  well  they  are  built  without  nails.'  The  'plan'  pre- 
scribed for  the  huts  does  not  seem  to  have  been  preserved.  They  seem 
to  have  been  at  least  sixteen  feet  long,  with  a  chimney  at  one  end  and 
bunks  for  ten  or  twelve  men  at  the  other.  *  *  *  The  fire-places 
were  of  stone,  surmounted  by  chimneys  of  plastered  wood.  That 
windows  were  not  always  provided  is  shown  by  an  order  in  the  spring 
commanding  that  an  opening  for  ventilation  should  be  made  in  each 
hut  not  already  supplied  with  a  window  or  other  such  opening." 

The  first  brigade  of  Connecticut  troops  was  composed  of  the  first 
regiment,  Colonel  Starr,  commanding;  the  third  regiment,  Colonel 
Wyllys;  the  fifth  regiment,  Colonel  Bradley;  and  the  seventh  regiment, 
Colonel  Swift. 

The  second  brigade  of  Connecticut  troops  was  composed  of  the 
second  regiment,  Colonel  Butler ;  the  fourth  regiment,  Colonel  Durkee ; 
the  sixth  regiment,  Colonel  Meigs  (commanded  in  the  winter  of  1779- 
80  by  Colonel  Gray),  and  the  eighth  regiment,  Colonel  Sherman.  An- 
other regiment,  commanded  by  Colonel  Samuel  B.  Webb,  was  subse- 
quently added  to  the  brigade. 

[325] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

The  two  brigades  of  Connecticut  troops  formed  a  division  and 
was  in  command  of  Major  General  Samuel  S.  Parsons,  who  was  made 
a  General  early  in  the  war. 

One  Thomas  Jones,  a  Loyalist,  and  a  contemporary  of  General 
Parsons,  is  recorded  to  have  said  of  the  Connecticut  General :  "He 
was  esteemed  by  the  rebels  as  a  bold,  resolute,  enterprising  soldier,  and 
by  British  prisoners  as  a  man  of  the  most  humane  and  benevolent  dis- 
position, by  whom  they  were  always  treated  with  politeness,  civility, 
and  humanity.  *  *  *  I  saw  him  in  Hartford,  in  1780;  he  had  long 
hair,  which  hung  about  his  ears,  a  brown  homespun  coat,  buck-skin 
breeches,  a  red  laced  waistcoat,  blue  yarn  stockings,  a  pair  of  shoes  I 
fancy  were  made  by  himself,  and  an  amazing  long,  silver-hilted  sword." 

On  the  site  of  the  camping-grounds  of  the  Connecticut  division,  as 
they  now  appear,  may  be  seen  numerous  heaps  of  stones  weighing  from 
fifteen  to  fifty  pounds  each,  which  once  formed  the  lower  part  of  the 
rude  chimneys  and  the  huge  fire-places  of  the  equally  rude  log  huts, 
which  provided  but  a  meagre  shelter  for  the  Connecticut  soldiers  of 
Washington's  army  in  the  severe  winter  of  1779-80. 

These  piles  of  hut  chimney-stones  seem,  for  the  most  part,  to  have 
lain  undisturbed  since  they  fell  away  from  the  decaying  log  huts  of 
which  they  were  once  an  important  part. 

The  heaps  of  hut  chimney-stones  mark  with  almost  startling  def- 
initeness  the  camp  streets  of  the  Revolutionary  days,  streets  once  alive 
with  the  presence  of  the  brave  men  who  helped  to  achieve  the  inde- 
pendence of  the  American  Colonies. 

Several  times  during  the  already-mentioned  morning  tramp  under 
the  guidance  of  Mr.  McClintock  over  these  camping-ground  sites  of 
the  Connecticut  division,  did  the  alert  and  well-informed  guide  turn  to 
the  no  less  alert  writer  and  exclaim,  with  evident  enthusiasm :  "Here 
was  a  camp  street;  here  was  another;"  and  the  distinct  alignment  of 
the  hut  chimney-stones  to  be  seen  undisturbed,  for  the  most  part,  since 
they  fell,  was  a  sufficient  corroboration  of  the  opinion  expressed. 

But  to  the  writer  the  most  interesting  objects  to  be  seen  on  the 
camping-ground  sites  of  the  Connecticut  troops  are  the  ruins  of  two 
stone  ovens,  in  which  bread  was  baked  for  the  soldiers  during  the  awful 
winter  they  were  encamped  on  the  eastern  slope  of  Fort  Hill.  The  re- 
mains of  one  of  these  bake  ovens  still  preserves  its  former  circular 
shape,  indicating  that  it  fell  inward  from  its  own  weight  and  has  lain, 
undisturbed,  seemingly,  for  one  hundred  and  thirty-six  years. 

Not  a  few  of  the  stones  comprising  one  of  the  ovens  on  the  Connec- 

[326] 


SaNQOHO   ONIJKV3   AHVNOIXmOAHH   3HX 

ticut  camping-grounds,  as  guide  and  writer  were  agreed,  still  exhibit 
the  effects  of  fire  as  do  those  of  other  oven  ruins  elsewhere  found  on 
the  camping-ground  sites  of  other  brigades  of  the  patriot  army,  not- 
ably that  of  one  of  the  Maryland  brigades,  about  a  mile  distant. 

The  writer  has  a  picture  of  the  ruins  of  the  bake  oven  above  men- 
tioned, and  when  I  tell  the  reader  that,  in  order  to  get  a  photograph  of 
these  ruins,  I  was  obliged  to  trample  and  break  down  great  quantities 
of  underbrush,  remove  several  large  pieces  of  decayed  wood,  and  bend 
and  hold  down  by  main  force  one  or  two  vigorous  saplings,  in  order 
that  the  photographer  I  had  taken  with  me  could  get  a  photograph, 
and  especially  when  I  add  that,  in  clearing  the  way  for  the  unobstructed 
sweep  of  the  camera,  I  scratched  and  tore  my  hands  until  they  bled, 
perhaps  the  picture  will  be  the  better  appreciated  by  those  who  may  see 
it.  When,  however,  I  learned  from  the  photographer  a  few  days  later 
that  "we  have  a  good  photo,"  I  was  completely  resigned  to  the  lacera- 
tions inflicted  upon  my  "paws." 

The  road  one  now  takes  from  the  terminus  of  the  Jockey  Hollow 
Road  to  reach  the  site  of  the  Connecticut  camping-grounds  of  Revo- 
lutionary days  is  not  the  same  as  that  of  those  former  days.  I  consider 
myself  fortunate  in  having  an  excellent  eight  by  ten  photograph,  taken 
under  my  personal  supervision,  showing  distinct  and  thought-provok- 
ing traces  of  the  military  road  of  Revolutionary  days,  over  which,  dur- 
ing the  winter  of  1779-80,  the  soldiers  of  the  Connecticut  brigades  trav- 
eled, in  going  to  and  from  their  camps.  To  the  student  of  Revolution- 
ary history,  the  traces  even  of  this  old  road  are  of  rare  interest. 

The  Fort  Hill  mentioned  in  this  article,  it  should  be  said,  was  a  hill, 
or  promontory,  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the  Jockey  Hollow  Road  as  one 
goes  from  Morristown,  and  lay  to  the  westward  of  the  camping-ground 
of  the  Connecticut  brigades.  This  hill  was  so  named  from  the  fact 
that  on  this  promontory  General  Anthony  Wayne,  while  encamped  in 
the  vicinity  with  his  Pennsylvania  troops,  threw  up  a  double  line  of 
fortifications,  one  of  stone,  and  another  of  logs  and  brush,  for  protec- 
tion against  possible  British  attack;  and  from  this  hill  the  entire  sur- 
rounding country  and  every  approach  to  the  American  camps  were 
commanded  by  the  guns  mounted  on  these  hastily-constructed  fortifi- 
cations. Traces  of  these  Revolutionary  fortifications  may  still  be  seen 
by  the  careful  observer. 

It  was  the  rare  privilege  of  the  writer  to  visit  the  site  of  the  forti- 
fications on  Fort  Hill  in  company  with  the  then  Sheriff  of  Morris 
County,  Mr.  Abram  Ryerson,  who,  in  the  Civil  War,  was  an  officer  in 

[327] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

a  regiment  of  artillery,  and  hence  acquainted  with  the  construction  of 
fortifications;  and  it  was  really  illuminating  to  me  to  listen  to  his  con- 
versation as  he  pointed  out,  here  and  there,  the  distinct  traces  of  the 
Revolutionary  fortifications  still  to  be  seen.  It  has  ever  since  been  a 
matter  of  regret  to  me  that  the  underbrush  was  so  thick  and  heavy  as 
to  prevent  me  from  getting  a  photograph  of  the  spot ;  but  I  may  yet  pro- 
cure such  a  picture. 

It  is  worthy  of  remark  in  this  connection  that  the  British  were 
never  able  to  reach  the  vicinity  of  the  American  camps  down  the  Jockey 
Hollow  Road;  and,  had  they  been  able  to  do  so,  it  would,  so  military 
experts  have  said,  have  required  an  army  of  at  least  fifty  thousand 
troops  to  dislodge  the  patriot  army  from  the  fastnesses  which  nature 
had  so  generously  and  kindly  furnished  them. 

Soon  after  the  arrival  of  Washington's  army  in  Morris  County, 
in  the  early  part  of  December,  1779,  a  meeting  of  the  Military  Union 
Lodge  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons,  Number  i,  composed  very  largely 
of  Connecticut  officers  and  men,  was  convened.  The  meeting  was 
held,  perhaps,  in  the  Arnold  Tavern,  in  Morristown  village,  but  more 
probably  on  the  camping-grounds  of  the  Connecticut  brigades  down  on 
the  Jockey  Hollow  Road.  The  object  of  this  meeting  was  the  election 
of  officers,  and  the  making  of  preparations  for  the  approaching  Fes- 
tival of  St.  John  the  Evangelist.  At  this  meeting,  probably  held  at 
"Colonel  Gray's  quarters,"  the  officers  elected  were  as  follows,  nearly 
all  of  whom  were  Connecticut  men:  Worshipful  Master,  Captain- 
Lieutenant  Jonathan  Heart,  of  the  Third  Connecticut  Regiment; 
Senior  Warden,  Lieutenant  and  Paymaster  Richard  Sill,  of  the  Eighth 
Connecticut  Regiment ;  Junior  Warden,  Captain  Robert  Warner,  of  the 
Third  Connecticut  Regiment;  Treasurer,  Captain  William  Richards, 
of  the  First  Connecticut  Regiment ;  Secretary,  Surgeon  John  R.  Wat- 
rous,  of  the  Third  Connecticut  Regiment ;  Senior  Deacon,  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Thomas  Grosvenor ;  Junior  Deacon,  Captain  Henry  Champion, 
of  the  First  Connecticut  Regiment.  The  Tylers  appointed  were  Jo- 
seph Lorain  and  Thomas  Binns,  of  Captain  Pond's  Company,  Sixth 
Connecticut  Regiment. 

The  Festival  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist  was  held  in  the  Assembly 
Room  at  the  Arnold  Tavern,  in  Morristown  village,  on  December  27, 
1779,  and  the  officers  of  the  Lodge  present  were:  Heart,  Sill,  War- 
ner, Richards,  Watrous,  Grosvenor,  Little,  and  Lorain  and  Binns, 
Tylers. 

The  members  of  the   Lodge  present  were:    Stilwell,   Higgins,

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Worthington,  Curtis,  Barker,  Gray,  Sherman  (probably  Colonel  Isaac 
Sherman,  of  the  Eighth  Connecticut  Regiment),  Craig,  Wilson,  Bush, 
Judd,  Heath,  S.  Richards,  S.  Wyllys,  Fitch,  Pierce,  Sargeant,  Graham, 
Fitch,  and  Whiting. 

These  officers  and  members,  as  might  be  shown  if  space  permit- 
ted, were  men  distinguished  by  their  patriotic  and  efficient  services  in 
the  American  army.  A  sketch  of  their  lives  and  services  would  prove 
of  unusual  interest ;  but  the  scope  of  the  present  article  does  not  allow 
of  this. 

Among  the  visiting  brethren  at  this  historic  meeting  were  Wash- 
ington, Hamilton,  Maxwell,  Dayton,  White,  Gist,  Lawrence,  and  many 
others  whose  names  cannot  now  be  mentioned. 

After  the  usual  Lodge  ceremonies  had  been  performed,  a  proces- 
sion was  formed  and  marched  across  the  village  green  to  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church,  where  the  Reverend  Abraham  Baldwin,  D.  D., 
then  Chaplain  of  the  Connecticut  Division  of  troops,  delivered  an  ap- 
propriate address,  which  was  subsequently  published  and  which  is,  no 
doubt,  still  extant  among  the  archives  of  some  Connecticut  Lodge  of 
Free  Masons. 

Doctor  Baldwin  was  a  native  of  Guilford,  Connecticut.  He  was 
graduated  from  Yale  College  and  was  a  tutor  there  until  the  beginning 
of  the  Revolution,  when  he  entered  the  Service. 

Than  the  camping-ground  sites  of  the  Connecticut  Division,  none 
are  more  distinctly  marked;  and  a  personal  examination,  under  the 
guidance  of  one  acquainted  with  the  grounds,  by  the  lover  of  Revolu- 
tionary history,  would  convince  him  that  no  other  camp-sites  of  the 
patriot  army,  during  the  trying  winter  of  1779-80,  furnish  greater  sat- 
isfaction than  those  on  the  easterly  slope  of  Fort  Hill.  Twice,  since  my 
initial  visit  to  these  grounds,  have  I,  with  growing  interest  and  with 
fresh  discoveries,  gone  over  them.  In  the  quietude  of  these  grounds  an 
active  imagination  again  peoples  them  with  the  forms  of  the  blue  and 
buff  from  Connecticut  somewhat  as  they  appeared  nearly  a  century 
and  a  half  ago. 

If  any  resident  of  the  "Nutmeg  State"  ever  visits  Morris  County, 
New  Jersey,  he  should  not  miss  going  over  these  historic  grounds,  once 
alive  with  the  Connecticut  soldiers,  to  remind  him  of  the  services  and 
sacrifices  and  sufferings  of  the  men  who  exhibited  their  love  of  na- 
tional independence  no  less  in  camp  on  the  eastern  slope  of  Fort  Hill  in 
the  winter  of  1779-80  than  on  the  battle-fields  of  the  Revolution.

BY 

CHARLES  GILMER  GRAY 

ISTORIANS  are  generally  agreed  that  the  conquest 
of  the  Illinois  Country  by  Colonel  George  Rogers 
Clark,  early  in  the  period  of  the  war  of  the  American 
Revolution,  and  its  retention  under  American  rule 
until  the  war's  close,  had  much  to  do  with  this  whole 
______      Mississippi  Valley  country  being  held  under  the  nego- 

tiations of  1782,  as  part  of  that  territory  constituting  the  present 
United  States.  But  for  this,  the  whole  vast  region,  lying  north  of 
the  Ohio  and  east  of  the  Mississippi,  and  reaching  even  further  down 
along  the  east  banks  of  the  river,  to  touch  the  Spanish  possessions, 
in  extent  of  greater  area  than  all  that  lying  east  of  the  Alleghany 
range  of  mountains,  would  have  remained  British  territory,  along 
with  Canada  at  the  north. 

It  often  happens  that  less  danger  attaches  to  the  conquering 
than  to  the  keeping  the  conquered  territory.  It  was  a  brave  accom- 
plishment, —  the  gaining  this  far-off  enemy's  country:  the  holding 
it  required  no  less  bravery.  After  the  surprising  success  of  the  cam- 
paign in  which  Kaskaskia,  Cahokia,  Post  St.  Vincent's,  and  the 
smaller  posts  of  the  Illinois  Country  came  into  the  possession  of  the 
Americans,  a  situation  presented  itself  calculated  to  cause  serious 
concern,  especially  to  the  leader  who  had  been  instrumental  in  bring- 
ing it  about.  To  him,  looking  around,  peril  threatened  on  every 
side.  Colonel  Clark  and  his  little  army  were  here  in  the  very  heart 
of  the  enemy's  country,  a  thousand  miles  or  more  from  the  centre 
of  population  of  Virginia  whence  they  came,  with  high  ranges  of 
mountains  intervening,  cut  off  from  sources  of  supply,  hostile  sav- 

[356] 


GENERAL  CLARK  IN  THE  ENEMY  S  COUNTRY 

ages  on  every  hand,  and  with  the  British  from  Canada  threatening 
to  attack. 

Ever  since  1763,  when  France  relinquished  her  claim,  British 
rule  had  extended  over  this  whole  northwest  country,  Detroit  on  the 
Lakes  as  the  active  centre  of  operations  and  seat  of  government. 
Here  lived  the  Lieutenant  Governor,  who,  under  the  Governor  of 
Quebec,  exercised  authority  both  civil  and  military  in  the  Illinois 
Country.  The  present  Lieutenant  Governor  was  Henry  Hamilton, 
a  man  of  energy  and  address,  who,  during  his  incumbency,  had  bent 
his  efforts  to  gain  the  friendship  and  aid  of  the  many  Indian  tribes 
residing  in  the  territory  under  his  rule ;  and  indeed,  by  means  of  fair 
promises  and  lavish  gifts,  he  had  succeeded  fairly  well  in  establish- 
ing friendly  relations  with  many  of  them. 

In  consideration  of  all  these  facts,  two  things  appeared  to  Colonel 
Clark  most  important  to  be  done — equally  important  they  seemed: 
First,  the  conciliating  of  the  savages  in  all  the  surrounding  country; 
and,  next,  the  capture  of  Detroit. 

As  to  the  latter,  it  had  long  been  looked  upon  as  a  military  neces- 
sity, having  been  regarded  as  the  only  means  of  securing  permanent 
tranquility  for  the  Illinois  and  Kentucky  settlements.  In  one  of  his 
letters  to  Colonel  Clark,  Governor  Patrick  Henry,  of  Virginia,  had 
said,  "Our  peace  and  safety  are  not  secure  while  the  enemy  are  as 
near  as  Detroit,"  and  in  another,  looking  forward  to  a  situation  exactly 
such  as  at  present,  "I  know  therefore  of  but  two  objects  for  next 
summer's  operations: — these  are  an  expedition  against  Detroit,  and 
another  against  those  tribes  of  Indians  between  the  Ohio  and  Illinois 
rivers  which  have  harassed  us  with  eternal  hostilities." 

But  this  taking  of  Detroit  away  to  the  north  was  full  of  dangers. 
Aside  from  the  great  distance  and  the  strong  line  of  fortifications, 
a  garrison  numbering  several  hundred  was  maintained  there.  Before 
undertaking  this  expedition,  additional  forces  must  be  secured.  There- 
fore some  time  must  be  taken  gathering  them  together,  as  well  as  in 
strengthening  the  positions  already  taken. 

While  this  was  being  done,  Clark  set  himself  the  task  of  win- 
ning over  from  the  British  interests  the  numerous  neighboring  savage 
tribes,  considering  this  in  itself  to  be  an  accomplishment  worth  his 
while,  and  an  essential  in  a  successful  campaign  against  the  English 
at  Detroit.  For  the  carrying  out  of  this  design  he  was  well  fitted  by 
his  experience  in  dealing  with  Indians  in  the  Kentucky  settlements, 
and  by  his  natural  quick  perception  and  sagacity.  Through  long 

[357] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

acquaintance,  he  was  thoroughly  familiar  with  Indian  customs  and 
•I  a  good  understanding  of  Indian  nature. 

Entering  on  this  difficult  work,  he  had  outlined  a  policy  which 
^i^ved  immensely  successful  in  its  working  out.  The  basal  idea  was 
that  the  Indian  by  nature  was  subservient,  was  impressed  by  prowess, 
and  that  he  would  attach  himself  to  whichever  side  seemed  most  likely 
to  afford  him  protection.  By  his  policy  Clark  hoped  to  gain  the 
ascendancy  over  these  Indian  tribes  by  a  display  of  power,  and  by 
tact,  rather  than  by  war. 

There  were  a  dozen  or  more  strong  tribes  in  this  territory,  whose 
friendship  must  be  gained  and  whose  Chiefs  and  Sachems  must  be  won 
over  to  his  cavtse.  The  British  had  gained  and  held  them  by  gifts  be- 
stowed, as  had  the  French  before  them.  It  was  not  in  Clark's  plan  to 
gain  favor  by  buying  it,  for  then,  he  said,  the  Indians  would  think  him 
weak.  His  purpose  was  to  convince  the  Indians  that  the  government 
he  represented  was  stronger  than  the  English  government,  and  could 
afford  them  better  protection.  In  his  harangues  before  their  coun- 
cils he  claimed  he  represented  the  "good  father,"  the  government  of 
Virginia,  and  the  King  of  France,  who  had  sent  him  out  to  look  after 
their  children;  that  he  was  fighting  the  British  because  they  had  not 
treated  the  Americans  fairly;-  and  that,  if  the  Indians  wanted  to  be 
friends  to  the  British,  they  should  go  and  fight  with  them,  but,  if  they 
did,  it  would  not  be  long  till  they  would  be  driven  from  the  face  of 
the  earth,  because  they  could  see  how  the  Americans  had  taken  all 
the  forts  from  the  British ;  that  they  were  not  able  to  defend  them- 
selves ;  that  when  fighting  the  British  the  Americans  considered  they 
were  fighlting  squaws.  By  such  speeches,  well  pressed  by  his  strong 
personality,  he  made  telling  appeals  for  friendly  relations  to  these  red 
men  of  forest  and  streams. 

The  success  of  this  policy  is  indicated  in  a  letter  of  Clark,  giving 
an  account  of  these  events,  written  to  his  friend,  Mr.  George  Mason 
of  Virginia,  in  the  year  1779,  where  he  says:  "It  was  with  aston- 
ishment that  we  viewed  the  great  number  of  savages  that  flocked 
into  the  town  of  Cahoos  [Cahokia]  to  treat  for  peace,  many  of  them 
coming  from  500  miles  distant."  Governor  Henry,  too,  in  his  letters 
to  the  Legislature,  informing  them  of  the  great  success  of  the  enter- 
prise, says:  "Colonel  Clark  has  not  only  reduced  the  English  posts 
in  the  Illinois  Country,  but  has  struck  such  terror  into  the  Indian 
tribes  between  the  lower  settlements  and  the  lakes  that  no  less  than 
five  of  them, — the  Puans,  the  Sacks,  the  Renards,  the  Powtowanta- 

[358] 


GENERAL  CLARK  IN  THE  ENEMY  S  COUNTRY 

mies,  and  the  Miamies,  who  had  received  the  hatchet  from  the  English 
emissaries, — have  submitted  to  our  arms,  given  up  all  their  English 
presents,  and  bound  themselves  by  treaties  and  promises  to  be  peacea- 
ble in  the  future.  The  great  Blackbird,  the  Chippewan  chief,  has 
also  sent  a  belt  of  peace  to  Colonel  Clark,  also  the  Peankishows,  the 
Towows,  Peorias,  Delawares,  Pillikishaws,  Marketans,  and  some  of 
the  Shawnese  chiefs,  have  also  given  up  all  their  tokens  of  attachment 
to  their  enemies,  and  pledged  their  fidelity  to  us." 

Their  extracts  show  in  a  graphic  manner  the  changed  attitude 
of  the  Indians  as  between  the  English  and  the  Americans. 

These  councils,  assembled  for  the  making  of  treaties  and  securing 
pledges  of  peace,  were  events  of  much  importance  amongst  the  tribes, 
and  were  made  much  of,  being  very  often  preceded  and  followed  by 
dancing  and  feasting  and  accompanied  by  long-drawn-out  ceremonials, 
with  the  giving  and  receiving  of  presents  as  the  usual,  not-to-be-for- 
gotten accompaniment. 

The  assemblies  frequently  occurred  at  night,  with  a  setting  to 
make  for  the  impressiveness  of  the  occasion,  in  the  Chief's  tent  or 
council  house,  maybe  lit  up  only  by  the  fitful  flame  of  the  council  fire. 
Skins  of  wild  animals, — the  bear,  the  wolf,  the  shaggy  buffalo,— 
spread  on  the  ground,  furnished  seats  for  these  dusky  warrior-coun- 
selors. 

Presently,  the  set  time  having  arrived,  Colonel  Clark,  with  some 
of  his  officers  detailed  for  the  duty,  enter,  taking  places  near  the 
centre  in  seats  prepared  for  them.  Then  come  the  representatives  of 
the  tribes,  the  Chiefs,  the  Sachems,  the  ambassadors,  if  any  there 
are,  and  any  others,  all  entering  single  file  and  silently  seating  them- 
selves, some  squatting,  some  sitting,  others  reclining,  savage  fashion. 
They  are  all  bedecked  and  bedaubed  with  feathers  and  vermilion  or 
ochre  paints,  and  clothed  in  deer  or  bear  skin  suits. 

In  such  assemblies,  along  with  other  representatives,  there  was 
one  gifted  with  the  tongue  and  the  arts  of  the  orator,  who,  at  the 
proper  time,  was  put  forward  to  speak  for  the  tribe.  He  was  usually 
straight,  and  well  formed  as  to  body,  with  mind  well  filled  with  his 
people's  history,  and  memory  stored  with  Indian  metaphor  and 
imagery,  and  ready  speech  and  gesture  to  set  it  forth. 

Now  the  ceremonials  begin  by  the  passing  of  the  calumet  and  the 
smoking  by  all,  if  they  will,  of  the  peace  pipe.  In  due  course  the  ora- 
tor arises.  His  first  words  are  some  compliment  to  the  white  men 
who  have  invited  them,  to  the  Great  Father,  the  Governor  of  Virginia, 

[359] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

and  to  the  King  of  France.  As  he  begins  his  set  speech,  a  string  of 
wampum  belts  is  produced  to  make  binding  the  pledges  he  is  to  make 
on  behalf  of  his  tribe.  He  holds  one  up,  offering  it  as  a  present  to 
the  white  man,  the  representative  of  the  Great  Father,  the  Governor 
of  Virginia,  and  the  King  of  France,  to  show  him  that  the  Indians 
want  peace,  that  they  are  done  with  war.  Here  he  becomes  dramatic. 
Snatching  up  a  hatchet  and  brandishing  it  like  mad,  he  flings  it  with 
great  violence  into  the  fire,  saying:  "Thus  is  my  anger  against 
the  Americans  thrown  away."  A  second  belt  is  now  held  up  and 
handed  over  as  a  present  to  show  that  the  sun  is  bright,  the  air 
clear,  the  stream  smooth.  The  third  is  passed  over  to  declare  that 
his  tribe  had  sent  presents  to  the  other  tribes,  to  recall  their  war 
parties,  looking  forward  to  the  future  time  of  peace.  A  fourth  belt 
is  to  open  the  rivers  and  streams  to  the  passage  of  the  boats  of  the 
Americans.  A  fifth  is  to  drive  away  the  hostile  canoes  from  their 
rivers;  a  sixth  to  smooth  away  the  rapids,  and  calm  the  whirlpools, 
so  the  boats  of  the  Americans  can  pass  safely.  All  these  much- 
to-be-wished-for  things, — the  peaceful  passage  of  the  rivers,  the  driv- 
ing away  of  the  hostile  canoes,  the  smoothing  away  of  the  rapids,— 
are  made  to  pass  before  the  hearers  as  a  drama  by  the  wild  art  of 
the  orator.  "Look,"  he  says,  waving  his  hands,  "the  sky  is  clear, 
the  streams  are  open,  the  cataracts  are  smoothed  away."  Another 
belt  is  handed  over,  maybe  of  unusual  size  and  splendor,  to  bind 
together  his  tribe  with  the  Americans  and  French,  as  allies,  as  one 
man,  making  the  union  of  these  people  vivid,  by  bringing  forward 
one  of  his  tribe  setting  them  close  and  binding  these  two  with  one 
of  the  American  officers  by  joining  arms;  making  them  appear  as 
one  man.  The  next  belt  invites  the  Americans  to  feast  with  them, 
saying  their  country  is  full  of  fish  and  game  of  every  kind.  The 
last  belt  is  to  scatter  the  clouds,  that  the  sun  may  shine  on  the  hearts 
of  the  Americans  and  Indians,  showing  their  sincerity  and  truth  in 
these  thoughts  of  peace,  and  their  proffer  of  peace  with  the  Americans. 

His  speech  being  done,  the  orator  sits  down,  with  the  grunts  of 
approval  of  his  red  followers. 

Then  comes  the  response  of  the  American  commander,  and  his 
distribution  of  gifts — if  he  bestows  any,  for  it  was  not  in  his  plan  to 
gain  favor  by  gifts.  Then,  after  other  periods  of  speech-making, 
and  smoking  and  silences,  the  council  comes  to  a  close,  to  be  followed 
by  another  in  a  day  or  two  to  conclude  and  sign  the  treaties. 

It  occurred  sometimes  in  these  council  meetings,  that  Colonel 

[360] 


GENERAL  CLARK  IN  THE  ENEMY  S  COUNTRY 

Clark  and  his  fellow  Commissioners  were  placed  in  positions  of  much 
personal  danger.  Of  all  the  tribes  the  Shawnees  remained  longest 
hostile  to  the  Americans.  As  some  one  said,  they  were  "the  first  in  bat- 
tle, the  last  in  treaty."  It  is  related  of  this  tribe  that  at  last  they 
agreed  to  bury  the  hatchet  and  sue  for  peace. 

A  Council  having  been  called,  the  American  Commissioners, 
headed  by  Colonel  Clark,  were  seated  at  the  table  in  the  centre — a 
scant  half  dozen  of  them.  When  it  came  time  for  the  Indian  dele- 
gation to  appear,  much  to  their  surprise,  three  hundred  Shawnees, 
their  finest  warriors,  in  full  paint  and  feathers,  filed  into  the  council 
house  and  took  seats  around.  The  unusual  number  excited  suspicion 
of  their  peaceable  intentions.  Then  there  were  only  seventy  Ameri- 
can soldiers  in  the  stockade  adjoining.  What  follows  shows  the  fear- 
lessness of  Colonel  Clark,  as  well  as  his  art  in  bringing  these  unruly 
savages  to  his  terms. 

The  Indians  put  forward  an  old  Sachem  and  a  young  war  Chief 
to  speak  for  them.  The  latter  made  a  boisterous  harangue,  which 
aroused  the  angry  passions  of  his  savage  hearers,  who  responded 
with  loud  whoops  at  every  pause.  In  closing  he  placed  on  the  table 
a  black  and  a  white  wampum  belt,  indicating  by  this  that  they  were 
ready  for  either  event,  peace  or  war. 

While  all  this  was  in  progress,  Colonel  Clark,  with  head  resting 
on  his  left  hand  and  elbow  on  table,  had  shown  the  utmost  uncon- 
cern. But  now,  taking  up  his  cane,  he  pushed  the  belts  off  the  table 
on  to  the  floor.  At  this,  the  astonished  savages  all  started  to  their 
feet,  uttering  sounds  all  together  to  frighten  the  bravest  heart.  At 
this  juncture,  Clark  arose,  swept  the  line  with  a  withering  glance, 
stamped  the  belts  under  his  foot,  and  ordered  them  all  to  leave  the 
hall.  This  they  did,  though  with  reluctance.  All  night  they  were 
heard  parleying  among  themselves.  The  younger  warriors  were  for 
war,  the  older  for  peace.  The  next  morning  they  came  together  in 
council  again  and  sued  for  peace. 

These  frontier  wars  waged  during  this  period  were  of  a  very 
different  character  from  wars  as  usually  carried  on  between  civilized 
peoples.  It  was  not  a  body  of  trained  soldiers  battling  with  another 
trained  body.  They  partook  more  of  the  nature  of  raids ;  of  the  sur- 
prise of  a  family,  or  of  a  cluster  of  families;  of  attacks  on  some 
weak  unprotected  settlement;  of  the  massacre  of  innocent  women 
and  children ;  of  scalpings ;  of  tortures ;  and  such-like  barbarities  and 
inhumanities.  By  these  raids  the  border  communities  were  kept  in 
a  constant  state  of  alarm  and  terror. 

[36i] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

History  bears  out  the  statement  that  ever  since  the  commence- 
ment of  the  Revolutionary  War  the  British  had  been  in  many  instances 
the  instigators  of  these  raids,  and  had  made  use  of  the  savages  as 
allies  in  carrying  them  out.  It  was  so  in  the  Carolinas  and  in  the 
borders  of  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  and  New  York.  This  same  policy 
they  were  now  employing  in  the  Illinois  Country. 

It  would  please  us  better  to  believe  this  accidental,  a  wrong 
understanding  of  orders,  a  mistake  of  some  subordinate  officer.  But 
it  was  none  of  these,  as  clearly  appears.  Correspondence  exists 
between  English  officers  high  in  authority  showing  this  a  part  of 
their  settled  policy  in  the  conduct  of  thle  war.  There  is  a  letter  even 
from  the  Secretary  of  State,  Germain,  approving  of  the  same.  In  a 
letter  of  General  Haldemand,  with  date  August  26,  1778,  he  says: 
"Some  of  the  Indians  might  easily  be  induced  to  undertake  expediti- 
tiously  to  clear  all  of  the  Illinois  Country  of  these  invaders." 

Lieutenant  Governor  Hamilton  appears  in  the  first  place  to  have 
urged  the  use  of  the  savage  allies,  and  it  was  met  with  the  endorsement 
of  those  high  in  authority.  Here  are  some  facts: 

Hamilton,  of  Detroit,  under  orders  of  Germain,  Secretary  of 
State,  sent  out  fifteen  several  parties,  in  all  two  hundred  and  eighty- 
nine  red  men,  under  thirty  white  officers,  to  prowl  on  the  frontiers 
of  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia.  In  his  report  to  Governor  Guy  Carl- 
eton,  on  their  return,  he  says  the  Indians  had  brought  in  seventy-three 
prisoners  alive,  and  one  hundred  and  twenty-nine  scalps.  In  a  later 
report  to  Governor  Haldimand,  who  had  now  replaced  Carlton,  he 
says  that  since  last  May  the  Indians  in  this  district  had  taken  thirty- 
four  prisoners  and  eighty-one  scalps. 

On  June  30,  1778,  four  hundred  English  soldiers  and  seven  hun- 
dred Seneca  Indians  entered  the  Wyoming  Valley  lying  along  the 
beautiful  Susquehanna  River  in  Pennsylvania,  finding  there  only  a 
small  band  of  three  hundred  males,  made  up  of  old  men  and  boys, 
unsuited,  on  account  of  age,  for  military  service,  the  able-bodied  men 
being  with  Washington  and  his  army. 

On  July  3,  this  brave  but  doomed  band,  under  the  leadership  of 
Colonel  Zebulon  Butler,  deeming  their  only  hope  to  be  in  defiance, 
marched  out  to  meet  their  enemy.  The  British,  with  their  savage 
allies,  greatly  outnumbering  the  opposing  force,  under  pretense  of 
retreating,  drew  them  into  an  ambuscade,  in  which  they  suffered 
total  defeat,  with  two  hundred  and  twenty-five  scalps  taken,  pris- 
oners all  massacred,  and  very  few  escaping  to  tell  the  tale. 

[362] 


GENERAL  CLARK  IN  THE  ENEMY  S  COUNTRY 

Early  in  1779,  the  traitor  Simon  Girty,  with  Captain  Bird  of  the 
King's  Regiment,  and  a  small  band  of  British  officers,  leading  a 
horde  of  savages, — the  Wyandots  and  the  Mingoes, — ravaged  the 
country  surrounding  Pittsburgh,  going  to  the  extent  of  besieging 
Fort  Pitt  itself  for  a  month. 

On  May  26  a  force  of  what  was  supposed  to  be  three  hundred 
Indians,  under  the  direction  of  Major  de  Peyster,  Commandant  at 
Detroit,  and  led  by  a  British  officer,  Sinclair,  appeared  in  the  vicinity 
of  St.  Louis,  at  that  time  a  French  town,  expecting  to  capture  it; 
but  failed  to  attack,  on  account  of  the  defection  of  some  of  the  Indians. 

Another  division,  under  Langlade,  similarly  made  up,  with  some 
traitors  added,  were  expected  to  fall  upon  Kaskaskia,  capital  of  the 
Illinois,  and  capture  it.  These  two  divisions  contained  fifteen  hun- 
dred savages. 

A  third  division  was  expected  to  come  up  into  the  Illinois  Coun- 
try from  the  south,  led  by  a  Scotchman,  Colvert,  and  supported  by  a 
horde  of  savages  from  the  Cherokee  and  Chickasaw  tribes.  Each 
of  these  three  expeditions  was  part  of  a  concerted  plan  to  attack 
Colonel  Clark  and  his  forces  from  all  these  different  directions,  and 
either  destroy  or  drive  them  out  of  the  country. 

The  controlling  thought  underlying  this  barbarous  mode  of  war- 
fare seems  to  have  been  that  it  would  strike  terror  into  the  hearts  of 
the  rebels, — as  the  Americans  were  called, — especially  those  on  the 
frontiers,  and  bring  them  to  a  quick  submission.  But  it  must,  in 
fairness,  be  said,  that  this  course  met  much  opposition,  even  amongst 
the  British  Army  officers  in  this  country.  Governor  Abbott  himself 
opposed  the  policy,  except  in  a  modified  form,  as  did  Governor  Guy 
Carleton  before  him,  and  many  others. 

Lieutenant  Governor  Hamilton  of  Detroit,  more  than  any  one 
else,  had  put  in  practice  this  inhuman  feature  of  the  war,  even  going 
to  the  extent  of  offering  standing  reward  for  scalps;  and  he,  more 
than  anyone  else,  had  to  bear  the  opprobrium  of  such  a  course. 

The  policy  of  Colonel  Clark  in  this  respect  was  in  marked  con- 
trast to  that  of  Hamilton.  Time  and  again  he  refused  the  offers 
of  noted  Indian  warriors  with  their  followers,  asking  them  to  sit 
still,  that  he  did  not  need  them  to  fight. 

Kaskaskia  had  been  occupied  on  July  4,  1778.  On  August  4 
word  reached  Hamilton  that  the  Illinois  Country  was  in  the  hands 
of  the  rebels.  He  at  once  despatched  Monsieur  Caleron,  with  war 
belts  for  the  Wabash  Indians,  half-way  down  to  St.  Vincent's.  The 
next  few  weeks  he  devoted  to  getting  ready  for  the  campaign. 

[363] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

In  organizing  his  forces,  he  depended  largely  on  the  help  of  the 
Indians.  On  October  7  the  expedition,  with  Hamilton  in  command, 
set  out  for  the  retaking  of  the  fallen  fort.  His  force  consisted  of 
one  hundred  and  eighty  men,  of  whom  sixty  were  Indians.  At  Miami 
Town,  now  Fort  Wayne,  they  were  met  by  several  tribes,  to  whom 
they  made  presents,  at  the  same  time  asking  their  aid.  On  resuming 
their  march,  many  of  these  Indians  joined  them,  to  whom  they 
furnished  guns  and  ammunition. 

At  the  end  of  seventy-two  days,  Hamilton  reached  his  destina- 
tion, where  he  found  Captain  Helm  in  command  of  the  American 
forces.  The  fort  was  in  a  bad  situation  for  defense.  There  had  been 
a  garrison  of  seventy  men,  made  up  almost  entirely  of  French  adher- 
ents ;  but,  at  the  sight  of  the  superior  enemy,  these  "folded  their  tents 
like  the  Arabs,  and  as  silently  stole  away." 

In  a  letter  to  Captain  Helm  to  Colonel  Clark,  he  says:  "The 
enemy  in  sight  with  their  500  or  600  men — I  have  21  men  but  what 
have  left  me  and  not  4  that  can  really  depend  upon." 

But,  nothing  daunted,  the  Captain  put  up  as  good  a  show  of 
defense  as  possible.  He  had  a  loaded  cannon  wheeled  to  the  entrance 
to  the  fort,  manned  and  ready  to  fire  at  command.  When  the  Brit- 
ish Commander  demanded  surrender,  Helm  ordered  them  to  halt, 
and  asked  the  terms.  On  being  accorded  the  honors  of  war,  he  gave 
up  the  fort. 

In  due  course,  the  news  of  St.  Vincent's  fall  came  to  Colonel 
Clark  at  Kaskaskia,  while  in  the  midst  of  his  preparations  against 
Detroit.  He  at  once  decided  that,  instead  of  Detroit,  he  must  direct 
his  efforts  to  the  retaking  of  the  fallen  fort  at  St.  Vincent. 

His  situation  seemed  now  doubly  full  of  peril;  but,  brave  man 
that  he  was,  he  determined  to  win  success  by  some  bold  stroke.  He 
wrote  to  Governor  Henry,  February  3,  1779:  "I  am  resolved  to  take 
advantage  of  his  [Hamilton's]  present  situation,  and  risk  the  whole 
in  a  single  battle.  I  know  the  case  is  desperate  but,  Sir,  we  must 
either  quit  the  country,  or  attack  Mr.  Hamilton.  Who  knows  what 
fortune  may  do  for  us:  Great  things  have  been  effected  by  a  few 
men  well  conducted." 

Within  a  few  days,  he  set  out,  with  not  over  one  hundred  and 
seventy  men,  to  make  a  perilous  march  in  dead  of  winter  from  Kas- 
kaskia to  Vincennes,  a  full  two  hundred  miles,  taking  twenty-three 
days  to  traverse,  making  a  journey  that  tried  men's  souls,  and  sue-

ceeding  above  expectations  in  capturing  the  fort,  along  with  the 
persons  of  Hamilton  and  a  train  of  British  officers  and  soldiers. 

By  this  bold  stroke  he  relieved  himself  of  present  peril,  threat- 
ening on  all  sides,  and  the  more  firmly  established  himself  in  the 
very  heart  of  the  enemy's  country.

and  their  possessions,  and  the  History  of  Families. 

(b)  To  inculcate  and  bulwark  patriotism,  in  no  par- 
tisan, sectional,  nor  narrowly  national  sense,  but  in  recog- 
nition of  man's  high  obligation  toward  civic  righteousness, 
believing  that  human  governments  are  divinely  ordained 
to  bear  the  sword  and  exercise  police  duty  for  good  against 
evil,  and  not  for  evil  against  good,  and  recognizing,  as  be- 
tween peoples  and  peoples,  that  "God  has  made  of  one 
blood  all  nations  of  men." 

(c)  To  provide  a  national  and  international  patri- 
otic clearing-house  and  historical  exchange,  promoting  by

eration between  all  historical  organizations,  patriotic  or- 
ders, and  kindred  societies,  local,  state,  national,  and  inter- 


national,  that  the  usefulness  of  all  may  be  increased  and 
their  benefits  extended  toward  education  and  patriotism. 

(d)  To  promote  the  work  of  preserving  historic 
land-marks  and  marking  historic  sites. 

(e)  To  encourage  the  use  of  historical  themes  and

in  furtherance  of  the  objects  of  the  Society. 

(g)  To  authorize  the  organization  of  members  of 
the  Society,  resident  in  given  localities,  into  associated

THE  GULL  MONUMENT,  SALT  LAKE  CITY,  UTAH 
The  first  harvest  of  the  Utah  pioneers,  1848.  was  being  devas- 
tated by  a  plague  of  black  crickets,  and  the  settlers  faced 
dire  privation,  when,  as  by  a  miracle,  flocks  of  white  gulls 
flew  in  swift  destruction  down  upon  the  pests,  annihilated 
them,  and  saved  the  h;irv<  st.  This  monument  was  erected 
in  1913  to  commemorate  the  event.

dressed a  meeting  of  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace  in 
Washington  on  May  27,  1916.  Perhaps  never  before 
in  the  history  of  the  world  has  an  utterance  so  momen- 
tous fallen  from  the  lips  of  the  Chief  Magistrate  of  a 
great  nation.  For  he  spoke  within  the  hearing  of  all 

the  nations  of  the  earth,  alert  and  troubled  by  war,  with  their  hour 

standing  at  attention.    He  said  : 

When  the  invitation  to  be  here  to-night  came  to  me,  I  was  glad  to  accept  it,  not  because 
it  offered  me  an  opportunity  to  discuss  the  program  of  the  league  (that  you  will,  I  am  sure, 
not  expect  of  me),  but  because  the  desire  of  the  whole  world  now  turns  eagerly,  more  and 
more  eagerly,  toward  the  hope  of  peace,  and  there  is  just  reason  why  we  should  take  our 
part  in  counsel  upon  this  great  theme.  It  is  right  that  I,  as  spokesman  of  our  Government, 
should  attempt  ts  give  expression  to  what  I  believe  to  be  the  thought  and  purpose  of  the 
people  of  the  United  States  in  this  vital  matter. 

This  great  war  that  broke  so  suddenly  upon  the  world  two  years  ago,  and  which  has 
swept  within  its  flame  so  great  a  part  of  the  civilized  world,  has  affected  us  very  profoundly, 
and  we  are  not  only  at  liberty,  it  is  perhaps  our  duty,  to  speak  very  frankly  of  it  and  of 
the  great  interests  of  civilization  which  it  affects. 

With  its  causes  and  its  objects  we  are  not  concerned.  The  obscure  fountains  from 
which  its  stupendous  flood  has  burst  forth  we  are  not  interested  to  search  for  or  explore.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

But  so  great  a  flood,  spread  far  and  wide  to  every  quarter  of  the  globe,  has  of  necessity 
engulfed  many  a  fair  province  of  right  that  lies  very  near  to  us.  Our  own  rights  as  a 
nation,  the  liberties,  the  privileges,  and  the  property  of  our  people  have  been  profoundly 
affected. 

We  are  not  mere  disconnected  lookers-on.  The  longer  the  war  lasts  the  more  deeply 
do  we  become  concerned  that  it  should  be  brought  to  an  end  and  the  world  be  permitted  to 
resume  its  normal  life  and  course  again.  And  when  it  does  come  to  an  end,  we  shall  be  as 
much  concerned  as  the  nations  at  war  to  see  peace  assume  an  aspect  of  permanence,  give 
promise  of  days  from  which  the  anxiety  of  uncertainty  shall  be  lifted,  bring  some  assurance 
that  peace  and  war  shall  always  hereafter  be  reckoned  part  of  the  common  interest  of 
mankind. 

We  are  participants,  whether  we  would  or  not,  in  the  life  of  the  world.  The  interests 
of  all  nations  are  our  own  also.  We  are  partners  with  the  rest.  What  affects  mankind 
is  inevitably  our  affair  as  well  as  the  affair  of  the  nations  of  Europe  and  of  Asia. 

One  observation  on  the  causes  of  the  present  war  we  are  at  liberty  to  make,  and  to  make 
it  may  throw  some  light  forward  upon  the  future,  as  well  as  backward  upon  the  past.  It 
is  plain  that  this  war  could  have  come  only  as  it  did,  suddenly  and  out  of  secret  counsels, 
without  warning  to  the  world,  without  discussion,  without  any  of  the  deliberate  move- 
ments of  counsel  with  which  it  would  seem  natural  to  approach  so  stupendous  a  contest. 
It  is  probable  that  if  it  had  been  foreseen  just  what  would  happen,  just  what  alliances  would 
be  formed,  just  what  forces  arrayed  against  one  another,  those  who  brought  the  great 
contest  on  would  have  been  glad  to  substitute  conference  for  force. 

If  we  ourselves  had  been  afforded  some  opportunity  to  apprise  the  belligerents  of  the 
attitude  which  it  would  be  our  duty  to  take,  of  the  policies  and  practices  against  which 
we  would  feel  bound  to  use  all  our  moral  and  economic  strength,  and  in  certain  circumstances 
even  our  physical  strength  also,  our  own  contribution  to  the  counsel,  which  might  have 
averted  the  struggle,  would  have  been  considered  worth  weighing  and  regarding. 

And  the  lesson,  which  the  shock  of  being  taken  by  surprise  in  a  matter  so  deeply  vital 
to  all  the  nations  of  the  world  has  made  poignantly  clear,  is  that  the  peace  of  the  world 
must  henceforth  depend  upon  a  new  and  more  wholesome  diplomacy.  Only  when  the  great 
nations  of  the  world  have  reached  some  sort  of  agreement  as  to  what  they  hold  to  be 
fundamental  to  their  common  interest,  and  as  to  some  feasible  method  of  acting  in  concert 
when  any  nation  or  group  of  nations  seeks  to  disturb  those  fundamental  things,  can  we  feel 
that  civilization  is  at  last  in  a  way  of  justifying  its  existence  and  claiming  to  be  finally 
established.  It  is  clear  that  nations  must  in  the  future  be  governed  by  the  same  high  code  of 
honor  that  we  demand  of  individuals. 

We  must,  indeed,  in  the  very  same  breath  with  which  we  avow  this  conviction,  admit 
that  we  have  ourselves  upon  occasion  in  the  past  been  offenders  against  the  law  of  diplomacy, 
which  we  thus  forecast ;  but  our  conviction  is  not  the  less  clear,  but  rather  the  more  clear, 
on  that  account. 

If  this  war  has  accomplished  nothing  else  for  the  benefit  of  the  world,  it  has  at  least 
disclosed  a  great  moral  necessity  and  set  forward  the  thinking  of  the  statesmen  of  the 
world  by  a  whole  age.  Repeated  utterances  of  the  leading  statesmen  of  most  of  the  great 
nations  now  engaged  in  war  have  made  it  plain  that  their  thought  has  come  to  this:  That 
the  principle  of  public  right  must  henceforth  take  precedence  over  the  individual  interests 
of  particular  nations  and  that  the  nations  of  the  world  must  in  some  way  band  themselves 
together  to  see  that  right  prevails  as  against  any  sort  of  selfish  aggression;  that  hence- 
forth alliance  must  not  be  set  up  against  alliance,  understanding  against  understanding,  but 
that  there  must  be  a  common  agreement  for  a  common  object,  and  that  at  the  heart  of  that 
common  object  must  lie  the  inviolable  rights  of  peoples  and  of  mankind. 

The  nations  of  the  world  have  become  each  other's  neighbors.  It  is  to  their  interest 
that  they  should  understand  each  other.  In  order  that  they  may  understand  each  other  it  is 
imperative  that  they  should  agree  to  co-operate  in  a  common  cause  and  that  they  should 
so  act  that  the  guiding  principle  of  that  common  cause  shall  be  even-handed  and  impartial 
justice. 

This  is  undoubtedly  the  thought  of  America.  This  is  what  we  ourselves  will  say  when 
there  comes  proper  occasion  to  say  it.  In  the  dealings  of  nations  with  one  another  arbitrary 
force  must  be  rejected  and  we  must  move  forward  to  the  thought  of  the  modern  world, 
the  thought  of  which  peace  is  the  very  atmosphere.  That  thought  constitutes  a  chief  part 
of  the  passionate  conviction  of  America. 

We  believe  these  fundamental  things : 

[4l8] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

First,  that  every  people  has  a  right  to  choose  the  sovereignty  under  which  they  shall 
live.  Like  other  nations,  we  have  ourselves  no  doubt  once  and  again  offended  against 
that  principle  when  for  a  little  while  controlled  by  selfish  passion,  as  our  franker  historians 
have  been  honorable  enough  to  admit;  but  it  has  become  more  and  more  our  rule  of  life  and 
action. 

Second,  that  the  small  States  of  the  world  have  a  right  to  enjoy  the  same  respect  for 
their  sovereignty  and  for  their  territorial  integrity  that  great  and  powerful  nations  expect 
and  insist  upon. 

And,  third,  that  the  world  has  a  right  to  be  free  from  every  disturbance  of  its  peace 
that  has  its  origin  in  aggression  and  disregard  of  the  rights  of  peoples  and  nations. 

So  sincerely  do  we  believe  in  these  things  that  I  am  sure  that  I  speak  the  mind  and 
wish  of  the  people  of  America  when  I  say  that  the  United  States  is  willing  to  become  a 
partner  in  any  feasible  association  of  nations  formed  in  order  to  realize  these  objects  and 
make  them  secure  against  violation. 

There  is  nothing  that  the  United  States  wants  for  itself  that  any  other  nation  has. 
We  are  willing,  on  the  contrary,  to  limit  ourselves  along  with  them  to  a  prescribed  course 
of  duty  and  respect  for  the  rights  of  others,  which  will  check  any  selfish  passion  of  our 
own,  as  it  will  check  any  aggressive  impulse  of  theirs. 

If  it  should  ever  be  our  privilege  to  suggest  or  initiate  a  movement  for  peace  among  the 
nations  now  at  war,  I  am  sure  that  the  people  of  the  United  States  would  wish  their  Gov- 
ernment to  move  along  these  lines: 

First  —  Such  a  settlement  with  regard  to  their  own  immediate  interests  as  the  bellig- 
erents may  agree  upon.  We  have  nothing  material  of  any  kind  to  ask  for  ourselves,  and 
are  quite  aware  that  we  are  in  no  sense  or  degree  parties  to  the  present  quarrel.  Our 
interest  is  only  in  peace  and  its  future  guarantees. 

Second  —  A  universal  association  of  the  nations  to  maintain  the  inviolate  security  of 
the  highway  of  the  seas  for  the  common  and  unhindered  use  of  all  the  nations  of  the 
world,  and  to  prevent  any  war,  begun  either  contrary  to  treaty  covenants  or  without  warn- 
ing, and  full  submission  of  the  causes  to  the  opinion  of  the  world — a  virtual  guarantee  of 
territorial  integrity  and  political  independence. 

But  I  did  not  come  here,  let  me  repeat,  to  discuss  a  program.  I  came  only  to  avow  a 
creed  and  give  expression  to  the  confidence  I  feel  that  the  world  is  even  now  upon  the  eve 
of  a  great  consummation,  when  some  common  force  will  be  brought  into  existence  which 
shall  safeguard  right  as  the  first  and  most  fundamental  interest  of  all  peoples  and  all 
Governments,  when  coercion  shall  be  summoned  not  to  the  service  of  political  ambition 
or  selfish  hostility,  but  to  the  service  of  a  common  order,  a  common  justice,  and  a  common 
peace. 

God  grant  that  the  dawn  of  that  day  of  frank  dealing  and  of  settled  peace,  concord,  and 
co-operation  may  be  near  at  hand ! 

A  union  of  all  nations  to  maintain  international  righteousness  and 
peace  has  been  the  dream  of  men  of  vision  for  centuries.  But  to  all 
the  world  until  of  late  it  has  been  merely  a  dream.  Improbable,  if  not 
impracticable,  the  project  still  seemed  when  advocated  by  the  writer 
less  than  two  years  ago,  soon  after  the  present  war  broke  out  in  Europe. 
When  the  war-cloud  burst  he  was  one  of  the  very  first  publicly  to  urge, 
as  the  only  possible  solution  of  the  problem  of  maintaining  world- 
peace,  a  world-league  of  the  nations  to  enforce  international  law  and 
order  by  their  combined  armies  and  navies  used  solely  as  a  police- 
power.  And,  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge,  the  first  detailed  plan  for 
such  a  league,  with  the  suggestion  that  it  might  at  once  be  put  in  oper- 
ation among  the  republics  of  the  Western  Hemisphere,  was  made  pub- 
lic by  the  editor-in-chief  of  The  Journal  of  American  History  in  a  com- 

[419] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

munication  written  in  September,  1914,  dated  October  i,  and  pub- 
lished in  the  New  York  Evening  Post  of  October  10,  1914. 

This  is  here  mentioned  to  show  that  the  editors  of  this  Magazine 
have  closely  followed  the  development  of  public  sentiment  along  these 
lines  since  the  war  began,  and  in  evidence  that  the  warning  against  in- 
adequate measures,  which  we  shall  give  further  on,  grows  out  of  much 
consideration  of  the  subject. 

In  The  Journal  of  American  History  for  October,  1914,  in  some 
pages  of  verse  under  the  title  of  "The  Bones  of  Columbus,"  the  writer 
also  set  forth  the  necessity  for  and  elemental  principles  of  a  World- 
Court  in  the  following  lines,  supposedly  addressed  from  heaven  by  the 
spirit  of  Columbus  to  the  warring  and  neutral  nations : 

Who  knighted  you,  ye  gory  swords  ?    Who  throned  you  where  ye  are 
On  your  mountains,  each  the  weak  to  weapon,  burning  like  a  star, 
And  evil  with  the  fiery-whirling  blade-Cherubic  bar? 
And  game  ye  with  your  swords  as  dice,  transforming  into  foe 
For  plunder  all  your  flesh  and  blood,  curst  Abel-slayers?    Wo, 
When  guardian  swords  revolt  to  rob— commissioned  but  to  smite 
To  police  the  day  of  evil  and  the  darkness  gaol  in  light ! 

******* 

Ye  shepherd-rods,  turned  serpents,  fear  lest  God  invoke  the  hour 
That  throws  His  Sceptre,  serpent-fanged,  to  swallow  all  your  power ! 
And  haste,  ye  Western  Isles,  to  fling  your  standards  in  the  lead, 
Lest  the  mantle  of  your  Freedom  fall  and  all  your  glories  bleed ! 

******* 

The  demonries  of  thrones  engaol,  that  render  Right  no  awe : 

Let  the  nations  judge  the  nations'  crimes  as  men  judge  men  by  law! 

In  the  nations'  gate  assemble  Court,  ye  cannon  of  the  free, 

And  lift  on  swords  the  Ermine  o'er  the  islands  of  the  sea ! 

Yea,  swear  your  knightly  fealty  to  Law  in  holy  act, 

And  sword  the  felon  treasonry  that  plots  against  the  pact! 

Yet  give  the  banished  cause  her  times  to  come  again  and  kneel, 

That  conscience  to  her  Golden  Light  forever  may  appeal ; 

But  around  the  power  whose  lawless  hour  flings  out  forbidden  sin 

Let  your  golden  stars  swing  prison  bars  to  shut  the  darkness  in ! 

Charles  Sumner  clearly  grasped  the  necessity  of  an  international 
court  to  deal  with  all  the  causes  iniquitously  settled  by  wars,  and  in  The 
Journal  of  American  History  for  January  and  April,  1915,  we  re- 
printed Sumner's  masterly  address,  "The  War  System  of  the  Common- 
wealth of  Nations,"  which  he  delivered  before  the  American  Peace  So- 
ciety in  1849.  In  a  letter  dated  May  28,  1915,  sent  to  each  of  the  for- 
eign delegates  to  the  Pan-American  Financial  Congress  then  in  session 
in  Washington,  the  writer  presented  his  plan  for  a  World-Court  in 
more  condensed  form  than  in  the  communication  in  the  Evening  Post 
of  October  10,  1914.  This  letter  was  printed  in  the  Washington  Star, 
and  also  in  The  Journal  of  American  History,  under  the  title,  "An  In- 

[420] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

ternational  Supreme  Court  for  the  Western  Hemisphere."    We  shall 
have  occasion  to  refer  to  this  further  on. 

II 

The  growing  sentiment  in  this  country  in  favor  of  international 
government  in  the  super-national  realm  of  law  and  politics  has  had  to 
make  its  way  against  the  alarmist  doctrines  of  extreme  militarists  with 
whom  war  seems  to  be  almost  a  sacred  fetich.  During  September, 
1914,  Colonel  Theodore  Roosevelt  issued  the  first  of  a  series  of  news- 
paper syndicate  articles  which  dwelt  upon  the  impotence  of  interna- 
tional treaties  and  cast  obloquy  upon  the  remarkable  peace-and-arbitra- 
tion  treaties  which  our  Government  had  been  negotiating  with  the  prin- 
cipal nations  of  Latin- America  and  Europe.  We  felt  that  an  exagger- 
ated assertion  of  the  uselessness  of  treaties,  with  a  narrowly  partisan 
treatment  of  great  questions  which  should  not  be  examined  in  a  par- 
tisan spirit,  must  have  an  injurious  effect;  and  it  was  in  challenge  of 
Mr.  Roosevelt's  adjective-hurling  and  passionate  over-statement 
against  treaties  that  we  prepared  the  communication  which  appeared 
in  the  Evening  Post. 

We  contended  that  one  swallow  does  not  make  a  summer ;  that  the 
treatment  of  one  treaty  as  "a  scrap  of  paper"  by  an  unscrupulous  power 
has  not  destroyed  the  general  value  of  treaties;  that,  contrarily,  the 
conscience  of  the  whole  world  was  aroused  precisely  on  account  of  this 
callous  breaking  of  treaty- faith ;  that  the  whole  progress  of  interna- 
tional law  has  been  nothing  else  but  the  nations'  gradual  yet  steady  de- 
velopment in  treaty-making  and  treaty-keeping,  with  a  growing  inter- 
national conscience  respecting  the  obligation  and  sacredness  of  treaties 
—proven  by  the  fact  that  treaty-breaking  during  the  present  war  has 
aroused  the  conscience  of  mankind  as  in  no  previous  conflict  in  human 
history.  This  growth  in  human  conscience  is  a  greater  gain  to  the 
race  than  any  possible  temporal  advantage  by  wars. 

It  was  also  maintained  that  the  peace-and-arbitration  treaties, 
negotiated  by  the  Wilson  Administration  and  denounced  by  Theodore 
Roosevelt,  set  the  high-water  mark  in  treaty-making  so  far  attained  in 
the  world;  that  if  these  treaties  were  as  impotent  as  Mr.  Roosevelt 
maintained,  it  was  astonishing  that  the  foremost  statesmen  of  the  most 
progressive  nations  in  Europe  should  join  the  United  States  in  nego- 
tiating them ;  and  that  it  could  be  easily  shown  that  these  treaties  pro- 
vided a  solid  basis  upon  which,  by  a  mere  extension  of  their  principles, 
an  international  world-court,  supported  by  world-power,  to  be  exercised 

[421] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

if  necessary  as  world-force,  could  be  erected.  A  plan  for  such  a  world- 
court,  proceeding  from  these  treaties  as  partial  support  and  point  of 
departure,  was  outlined  in  some  detail,  and  its  adoption  by  the  Western 
Hemisphere  during  the  progress  of  the  present  war  shown  to  be 
feasible. 

It  is  an  interesting  fact  that  our  Government  has  since  taken  steps 
in  the  direction  suggested  so  far  as  the  republics  of  the  Western 
Hemisphere  are  concerned.  We  here  give  the  text  of  a  general  Pan- 
American  treaty,  submitted  by  our  Secretary  of  State  to  fifteen  Cen- 
tral and  South  American  governments  which  have  accepted  it  in  prin- 
ciple. 

Article  I.  The  high  contracting  parties  agree  to  join  one  another  in  a  common  and 
mutual  guarantee  of  territorial  integrity  under  republican  forms  of  government. 

Article  II.  To  give  definite  application  to  the  guarantees  set  forth  in  Article  I,  the 
high  contracting  parties  severally  agree  to  endeavor  forthwith  to  reach  a  settlement  of 
all  disputes  as  to  boundaries  or  territory  now  pending  between  them  by  amicable  agree- 
ment or  by  means  of  international  arbitration. 

Article  III.  The  high  contracting  parties  further  agree  (i)  that  all  questions  of 
international  character  arising  between  any  two  or  more  of  them  which  cannot  be  settled 
by  the  ordinary  means  of  diplomatic  correspondence  shall,  before  any  declaration  of  war  or 
beginning  of  hostilities,  be  first  submitted  to  a  permanent  international  commission  for 
investigation,  one  year  being  allowed  for  such  investigation,  and  (2)  if  the  dispute  is 
not  settled  by  investigation,  to  submit  the  same  to  arbitration  provided  the  question  in 
dispute  does  not  affect  the  honor,  independence,  or  vital  interests  of  the  nations  con- 
cerned or  the  interests  of  third  parties. 

Article  IV.  To  the  end  that  domestic  tranquility  may  prevail  within  their  territory, 
the  high  contracting  parties  further  agree  not  to  permit  the  departure  of  any  military 
or  naval  expedition  hostile  to  the  established  government  of  any  of  the  contracting  parties 
and  to  prevent  the  exportation  of  arms  and  munitions  of  war  destined  to  any  person  or 
persons  in  insurrection  or  revolt  against  the  government  of  any  of  the  contracting  parties. 

The  execution  of  such  a  general  treaty,  mutually  guaranteeing  the 
territorial  integrity  and  political  independence  of  the  nations  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere,  would  establish  a  unique  precedent  among  the 
peoples  of  the  earth,  and  it  is  greatly  to  be  hoped  that  every  American 
republic  will  grasp  the  opportunity  to  set  such  an  example  to  the  world. 
As  a  measure  to  prevent  war,  however,  this  treaty  is  very  defective  in 
just  that  quarter  from  which  all  wars  come,  because  of  its  reserva- 
tion from  compulsory  arbitration  of  questions  which  "affect  the  honor, 
independence,  or  vital  interests  of  the  nations  concerned  or  the  inter- 
ests of  third  parties."  Nevertheless,  the  proposal  of  such  a  treaty 
shows  the  direction  of  President  Wilson's  thought,  preparing  us  in 
measure  for  his  epochal  address  before  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace, 
as  given  at  the  head  of  this  article. 

The  organization  of  that  League,  effected  during  the  present 
year,  the  publicity  given  to  its  principles,  and  the  widespread  and  hearty 
response  to  its  suggestions,  are  other  elements  which  no  doubt  encour- 
aged President  Wilson  to  "attempt  to  give  expression"  to  what  he  be- 

[422] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

lieves  "to  be  the  thought  and  purpose  of  the  people  of  the  United  States 
in  this  vital  matter." 

He  also  referred  to  "repeated  utterances  of  the  leading  statesmen 
of  most  of  the  great  nations  engaged  in  war ;"  and  one  of  the  most  re- 
markable of  these,  its  publication  preceding  the  President's  address  by 
about  a  week's  time,  came  from  Sir  Edward  Grey,  British  Secretary  of 
Foreign  Affairs,  approved  by  subsequent  remarks  of  Mr.  Asquith, 
British  Prime  Minister.  Sir  Edward  advocated  "a  peace  secured  by 
unified  and  armed  purpose  of  civilization" — "a  league  of  nations,  that 
would  be  united,  quick,  and  instant  to  prevent,  and,  if  need  be,  punish, 
violations  of  international  treaties  of  public  right  and  of  national  inde- 
pendence, and  would  say  to  the  nations  that  came  forward  with  griev- 
ances and  claims : 

"Put  them  before  an  impartial  tribunal;  subject  your  claims  to 
the  test  of  law  or  the  judgment  of  impartial  men.  If  you  can  win  at 
this  bar  you  will  get  what  you  want ;  if  you  cannot  you  shall  not  have 
what  you  want ;  and  if  you  start  war  we  shall  all  adjudge  you  the  com- 
mon enemy  of  humanity  and  treat  you  accordingly.  As  footpads,  burg- 
lars, and  incendiaries  are  suppressed  in  a  community,  so  those  who 
commit  these  crimes  and  incalculably  more  than  these  crimes  will  be 
suppressed  among  the  nations."  For  "unless  mankind  learns  from 
this  war  to  avoid  war,"  Sir  Edward  Grey  concluded,  "the  struggle  will 
have  been  in  vain.  Furthermore,  it  seems  to  me  that  over  humanity 
will  loom  the  menace  of  destruction." 

The  words  of  Sir  Edward  Grey  and  the  address  of  President  Wil- 
son show  us  that  the  dream  of  men  of  vision  has  now  become  the  ur- 
gent expectation  of  men  of  action.  The  whole  world  thus  is  brought 
practically  face  to  face  with  the  possibility  of  doing  away  with  war, 
except  only  as  a  necessary  exercise  of  police-duty  against  lawlessness, 
by  means  of  a  partnership  of  the  world's  governments,  a  "universal 
association  of  the  nations"  to  ensure  "even-handed  and  impartial  jus- 
tice'' and  maintain  "the  inviolable  rights  of  peoples  and  of  mankind." 
Month  by  month  the  terrible  logic  of  unprecedented  death  and  destruc- 
tion has  forced  this  dream  as  a  practical  hope  upon  the  reluctant  con- 
sciences of  the  nations.  The  possibilities  for  the  entire  earth  of  such  a 
plan  can  scarcely  be  exaggerated  to  a  thoughtful  American  who  loves 
righteousness,  considers  the  fundamental  problems  and  difficulties  of 
human  government,  and  weighs  the  frightful  consequences  of  great 
modern  wars  as  war  now  reveals  them. 

It  is  a  gratifying  fact,  therefore,  that  the  general  principle  of  such 

[423] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

a  plan  has  been  endorsed  by  incorporation  in  the  platform  recently 
adopted  by  the  national  convention  of  one  of  our  political  parties,  as 
follows : 

The  circumstances  of  the  last  two  years  have  revealed  necessities  of  international  action 
which  no  former  generation  can  have  foreseen.  We  hold  that  it  is  the  duty  of  the  United 
States  to  use  its  power,  not  only  to  make  itself  safe  at  home,  but  also  to  make  secure  its 
just  interests  throughout  the  world,  and  both  for  this  end  and  in  the  interest  of  humanity, 
to  assist  the  world  in  securing  settled  peace  and  justice.  We  believe  that  every  people 
has  the  right  to  choose  the  sovereignty  under  which  it  shall  live;  that  the  small  States 
of  the  world  have  a  right  to  enjoy  from  other  nations  the  same  respect  for  their  sovereignty 
and  for  their  territorial  integrity  that  great  and  powerful  nations  expect  and  insist  upon ; 
and  that  the  world  has  a  right  to  be  free  from  every  disturbance  of  its  peace  that  has  its 
origin  in  aggression  or  disregard  of  the  rights  of  peoples  and  nations ;  and  we  believe 
that  the  time  has  come  when  it  is  the  duty  of  the  United  States  to  join  with  the  other 
nations  of  the  world  in  any  feasible  association  that  will  effectively  serve  these  principles, 
to  maintain  inviolate  the  complete  security  of  the  highway  of  the  seas  for  the  common 
and  unhindered  use  of  all  nations. 

The  views  of  Americans  on  such  a  subject,  however,  should  not 
be,  in  any  degree,  partisan,  but  the  expression  of  the  high  ideal  of  a 
united  country,  ready  to  co-operate  with  all  the  world  to  maintain  law 
and  righteousness  and  make  war,  save  as  police-power,  inexcusable. 

Ill 

The  issue  presented  by  President  Wilson  on  May  27  is  the  great- 
est which  can  suggest  itself  to  nations  while  the  experiment  of  human 
government  endures.  Failure  to  give  every  power  of  brain  and  heart 
to  solve  such  a  problem  would  be  a  transgression  against  God  and  hu- 
manity. Through  human  experimentation,  under  natural  and  revealed 
law  for  generations  and  ages,  the  Throne  above  us  has  sought  to  teach 
the  nations  righteousness.  Even  though  we  should  ultimately  fail, 
through  weakness  inherent  in  our  nature,  yet  if  God  unmistakably  pre- 
sents to  our  consciences  a  practical  path  toward  international  peace 
and  equity,  we  cannot  with  impunity  refuse  to  walk  in  it. 

While  President  Wilson  set  out  "only  to  avow  a  creed"  and  not 
"to  discuss  a  program,"  the  elements  of  a  program  have  been  put  for- 
ward and  ought  to  be  for  all  of  us  a  subject  of  serious  consideration. 
We  are  about  to  discuss  the  program  proposed  by  the  League  to  En- 
force Peace ;  but  before  doing  so  shall  here  give  the  outline  of  the  plan 
set  forth  in  the  Evening  Post  of  October  10,  1914,  in  the  more  concise 
form  in  which  it  was  subsequently  presented  to  the  delegates  to  the 
Pan-American  Financial  Congress.  This  will  show  the  possible  sim- 
plicity of  a  feasible  plan  of  world-union  for  international  government. 
The  suggestion  was  as  follows : 

I  propose  for  your  consideration,  and  that  of  all  thoughtful  men  and  women,  the  fol- 
lowing outline  of  a  plan  to  inaugurate  among  our  American  Republics  an  International 

[424] 


THE  WORLDS   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

Supreme  Court,  in  which  all  the  other  nations  of  the  earth  may  also  participate,  on  the 
same  equitable  basis  as  ourselves,  if  they  elect  to  do  so. 

1.  The  United  States  Government  has  already  signed  treaties  with  a  majority  of  the 
American  Republics,  calling  for  a  joint  commission  between  the  United   States  and  each 
of  the  signatory  Republics,  to  which  will  be  referred,  for  a  year's  stody  if  necessary,  any 
dispute  arising  between  the  two  nations  which   cannot  be  settled  by  diplomacy.     Let  the 
United  States  sign   such  treaties  with  all  the  American   Republics,  and   let  the  people  of 
the  United  States  demand  that  their  Senate  abrogate  all  pretense  to  exercise  rights  incon- 
sistent with   the  same. 

2.  Let  each  of  the  other  American  Republics  execute  such  a  treaty  with  every  other 
American   Republic.     I   understand  that   Argentina,   Brazil,   and   Chile   have  very   recently 
taken  such  a  step  among  themselves. 

While  such  treaties,  it  is  hoped,  would  prevent  war  as  a  result  of  a  sudden  inflaming 
of  the  public  mind,  they  would  not  make  war  impossible  between  two  disputing  nations. 
This  end  requires  a  further  step. 

3.  Let   each   of  the  participating  nations   appoint  a  judge  to   sit  in  an   International 
Supreme  Court ;  if  an  even  number  of  judges  results,  let  them  elect  another  judge,  making 
the  total  number  odd,  and  let  the  decision  of  a  majority  determine  the  law.     Let  any  dis- 
pute, which  can  not  be  amicably  adjusted  between  two  or  more  nations  after  the  recom- 
mendation  of   their   joint   commission   is   before   them,   be   referred   to   this   International 
Supreme  Court,  and  let  its  decisions  be  international  law,  enforced,  if  necessary,  by  the 
combined  police  power — the   combined  armies  and  navies — of   all   the  nations   represented 
in  the  Court.    Any  participating  power  refusing  to  bow  to  this  tribunal  would  thus  become 
an  outlaw  State.     Felonious  nations  would  be  dealt  with  by  the  combined  arm  of  the  law- 
abiding  nations,  as  criminal  individuals  are  now  dealt  with  by  a  law-abiding  community. 

4.  The  judgments   of  the  International   Supreme   Court,  although   commanding  abso- 
lute obedience   while  in   force,   should   nevertheless   be   subject  to   rehearings   at  the   ends 
of   certain   stated   terms   of   years,   making    full   provision    for   any   reversals   required   by 
human    conscience    under    growing   enlightenment.     With    this    provision,    war- — except    as 
an  exercise  of  police  power  to  compel  obedience  to  law,  as  police  power  is  now  used  within 
a  nation — could  no  longer  find  a  righteous  excuse. 

This  plan  holds  out  no  impracticable  dream  of  total  disarmament.  Not  until  the 
human  heart  changes,'  and  we  may  dispense  with  laws,  jails,  and  police  within  nations,  may 
we  contemplate  total  disarmament  as  a  practical  possibility.  But  the  proposed  plan  affords 
a  just  and  practical  basis  for  a  reduction  of  armies  and  navies  to  the  minimum  necessary 
for  efficient  police  power  within  each  nation,  and  efficient  police  power  of  the  combined 
nations  in  maintaining  international  peace.  The  new  doctrine  will  be  that  armies  and  navies  are 
for  police  power  only,  to  maintain  accepted  law,  and  not  for  that  barbarous  and  beast-like 
duelling  between  nations  which  we  call  war — a  method  which  never  determines  right  or 
wrong,  but  only  who  is  strongest. 

Much  more  could  be  said,  but  I  forbear.  I  write  this  much,  however,  under  the  pro- 
found conviction  that  the  whole  world  now  looks  to  the  free  peoples  of  the  Western 
Hemisphere  for  some  illuminating  suggestion.  If  we,  with  our  high  ideals  and  comparative 
freedom  from  many  of  the  problems  of  Europe,  are  unwilling  to  curb  our  national  wills 
and  ambitions  within  some  such  limits  of  international  law  and  legal  procedure  as  here 
proposed,  how  can  we  hope  that  other  nations  of  the  earth  will  consent  to  do  so? 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  plan  here  outlined  begins  with  diplo- 
matic machinery  already  in  operation,  or  about  to  be  installed.  First 
of  all,  we  have  the  peace-and-arbitration  treaties  recently  negotiated 
with  the  principal  American  republics  and  with  many  of  the  powers  of 
Europe,  and  even  of  Asia,  including  the  four  largest  empires  of  the 
world,  Great  Britain,  Russia,  France,  and  China;  If  the  writer  has 
shown  that  such  treaties  afford  an  actually-existing  basis  for  a  still 
closer  "association  of  the  nations"  of  this  hemisphere,  so  do  such  treat- 
ies, already  negotiated  with  the  great  empires  just  mentioned  and  with 

[425] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

other  powers  of  Europe,  afford  an  actually-existing  basis,  or  point  of 
departure,  for  the  "universal  association  of  the  nations,"  suggested  by 
President  Wilson. 

The  program  proposed  by  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace,  on  the 
other  hand,  is  hopelessly  incompetent  to  serve  the  great  cause  which 
the  League  has  espoused.  We  ourselves  so  strongly  support  the  ob- 
jects sought  by  the  League,  by  The  Journal  of  American  History  ad- 
vocated again  and  again,  and  so  completely  sympathize  with  the  en- 
thusiasm and  energy  which  the  League  has  organized  behind  its  move- 
ment, that  we  greatly  regret  the  necessity  of  criticizing  the  principles 
of  international  action  which  it  proposes.  But  the  issue  is  vital ;  and 
the  four  brief  articles  which  the  League  propounds  as  a  remedy  for 
war  constitute  a  sieve  through  which  any  war  the  world  has  ever  seen 
might  easily  run  its  course.  The  first  article  is  as  follows : 

All  justiciable  questions  arising  between  the  signatory  powers,  not  settled  by  nego- 
tiation, shall,  subject  to  the  limitations  of  treaties,  be  submitted  to  a  judicial  tribunal  for 
hearing  and  judgment,  both  upon  the  merits  and  upon  any  issue  as  to  its  jurisdiction  of 
the  question. 

All  hope  of  ending  war  here  absolutely  disappears  at  once  in  the 
half-hearted  provision  to  try  only  "justiciable  questions,"  thus  admit- 
ting that  there  are  "non-justiciable  questions"  which  lawfully  may  be 
ultimately  resigned  to  the  barbarous  and  insane  arbitrament  of  war. 
Thus  to  concede  that  any  possible  question,  which  can  provoke  war, 
may  nevertheless  remain  a  non-justiciable  question,  is  to  invest  the 
wickedness  of  duelling  wars  with  an  acknowledged  judicial  character 
— a  thing  against  which  Charles  Sumner  unanswerably  thundered. 
Moreover,  as  the  questions  thus  left  to  be  decided  in  the  court  of  war 
are  precisely  the  most  delicate  and  vital  which  arise  between  nations, 
this  plan  proposes  to  refer  our  least-important  questions  to  a  court  of 
law  and  reason  and  our  most  vital  issues  to  mob  decision  by  unreason- 
ing wars ! 

By  divine  and  natural  equity  war,  as  necessary  force,  may  as  po- 
liceman and  jailer  serve  the  mandates  of  law  and  keep  the  peace  of 
courts.  But  to  concede  the  existence  of  any  conceivable  issue  which 
human  judgment,  reasoning  in  natural  law  and  universal  equity,  is  less 
competent  to  decide  righteously  than  blind,  passionate,  murdering  war, 
is  to  surrender  the  destinies  of  the  human  race  to  a  horrible  and  damn- 
ing superstition.  On  what  issue  under  heaven  may  human  reason  and 
conscience  abdicate  their  throne  under  the  hypocritical  plea  that  whole- 
sale manslaughter  may  work  out  a  better  justice?  War,  directed  by 

[426] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

justice,  may  do  police  duty  in  righteousness ;  but  the  pretense  that  war 
can  sit  in  the  seat  of  judgment  is  the  scandal  of  the  ages. 

The  fiction  of  the  existence  of  non-justiciable  questions  is  an  age- 
hoary  hypocrisy  of  human  governments.  Hypocritical  nations  re- 
serve, as  beyond  judicial  process,  questions  affecting  their  "honor, 
existence,  and  vital  interests,"  each  power  remaining  its  own  sole 
judge  concerning  what  questions  come  under  these  categories.  As  a 
result,  non-justiciable  questions  are  invariably  those  which  cause  all 
wars.  For  what  Ahab  among  the  powers  ever  slew  a  Naboth  and 
seized  his  vineyard  without  pleading  that  his  "honor,"  the  necessities 
of  "existence,"  or  his  "vital  interests,"  forced  the  very  regrettable  af- 
fair upon  him? 

A  similar  debauchery  of  human  conscience  long  held  sway 
between  man  and  man  in  the  legal  arrangement  for  assassination  by 
means  of  duels — a  devil's  device  not  even  yet  thoroughly  outlawed  in 
some  lands  that  fancy  themselves  civilized.  Thus  with  all  breaches 
between  men  apparently  referred  to  the  jurisdiction  of  Civil  and  Crim- 
inal Courts,  under  the  code  of  the  duel  a  man  might,  nevertheless,  make 
the  smallest  slight  a  non-justiciable  question  by  pleading  an  affront  to 
his  "honor,"  thus  opening  the  most  trivial  door  to  the  worst  of  crimes 
—murder.  And,  of  course,  not  men  of  tender  conscience,  but  the 
unscrupulous,  took  advantage  of  the  duel  to  commit  legal  manslaugh- 
ter. This  door  thus  opened  to  the  criminally-minded.  Yet  how  long 
the  world  sanctified  murder  under  this  legal  sham !  What  men  were 
sacrificed !  Almost  in  our  own  day  thus  fell  Hamilton ;  while  even,  a 
President,  like  Jackson,  found  the  duel  a  useful  invention  for  killing 
one's  foes. 

A  League  to  Enforce  Peace,  which  allows  any  question  which 
may  breed  war  between  nations  nevertheless  to  be  regarded  as  non- 
justiciable,  and  thus  left  to  breed  war,  will  simply  legalize  the  war-duel 
among  nations  under  a  false  code  of  "honor."  The  result  will  be  pre- 
cisely that  yielded  by  duelling  between  men,  multiplied  by  whole  na- 
tionalities. The  nations  will  remain  Cains.  As  in  the  duel,  the  black- 
guard will  flourish,  and  the  gentleman  will  go  to  the  wall.  Achieving 
every  conceivable  dark  and  selfish  end,  in  the  name  of  "honor,"  "vital 
interest,"  "self-defense,"  and  other  hypocrisies,  the  big  bullies  will 
continue  to  blackjack  and  rob  the  weak. 

The  second  and  third  articles  of  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace, 
giving  its  only  provisions  "to  meet  non-justiciable  controversies,"  to 
quote  the  phrase  of  Dr.  Lowell,  are  as  follows: 

All  other   questions   arising  between   the   signatories   and   not   settled  by   negotiations, 

[427] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

shaH  be  submitted  to  a  Council  of  Conciliation  for  hearing,  consideration,  and  recommenda- 
tion. 

The  signatory  powers  shall  jointly  use  forthwith  both  their  economic  and  military 
forces  against  any  one  of  their  number  that  goes  to  war,  or  commits  acts  of  hostility, 
against  another  of  the  signatories  before  any  question  arising  shall  be  submitted  as  pro- 
vided in  the  foregoing. 

This  is  all.  Thus  a  League  of  Nations,  operating  on  these  princi- 
ples, will  plunge  into  war  to  punish  a  nation  for  breaking  out  over  a 
non-justiciable  question  suddenly,  in  a  heat  of  national  passion,  such 
as  nations  as  well  as  individuals  are  subject  to,  although  such  a  sudden 
outburst  of  passion  is  most  of  all  excusable,  being  analogous  to  murder 
in  the  second  or  third  degree ;  while  a  crafty  nation,  submitting  to  the 
formality  of  the  prescribed  negotiations,  yet  afterwards  deliberately 
declaring  war,  having  meantime  prepared,  the  League  will  not  disturb, 
although  the  policy  of  such  a  nation  would  be  analogous  to  murder  in 
the  first  degree,  "premeditated,  with  malice  aforethought." 

Thus  are  these  provisions  as  devoid  of  foundation  in  natural 
equity  as  they  are  impotent  and  inexpedient  as  measures  to  check  war 
and  aggression.  To  show  that  the  League  has  nothing  more  to  offer 
we  add  its  fourth  and  last  article : 

Conferences  between  the  signatory  powers  shall  be  held  from  time  to  time  to  formulate 
and  codify  rules  of  international  law,  which,  unless  some  signatory  shall  signify  its  dis- 
sent within  a  stated  period,  shall  thereafter  govern  in  the  decisions  of  the  judicial  tribunal 
mentioned  in  Article  I. 

Why  spin  such  cobwebs  to  curb  the  great  powers  of  the  earth  ?  If 
we  are  after  all  to  trust  only  a  "gentlemen's  agreement,"  why  not  leave 
things  as  they  are  ?  Let  the  reader  go  back  to  the  words  of  Sir  Edward 
Grey,  which  we  have  quoted,  and  judge  whether  this  non-justiciable 
sieve  of  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace  is  such  a  remedy  against  war  as 
the  great  Englishman  suggests. 

Lord  Haldane,  in  a  recent  interview  endorsing  the  general  princi- 
ples expressed  by  Sir  Edward  Grey  and  President  Wilson,  directly 
stated  than  any  League  to  Enforce  Peace  would  fail  to  serve  its  pur- 
pose if  so-called  "non-justiciable  questions"  were  left  with  their  door 
held  open  to  war.  This  fatal  defect,  we  believe,  was  avoided  by  Mr. 
Elihu  Root  in  his  proposals  as  Secretary  of  State  for  a  Hague  Court 
with  international  jurisdiction.  The  League  to  Enforce  Peace  must 
reform  completely  this  part  of  its  program,  or  its  achievements  will 
necessarily  be  merely  educational  and  not  practicable. 

While  President  Wilson  carefully  avoided  all  discussion  of  the 
program  of  the  League,  and  disclaimed  any  attempt  "to  discuss  a  pro- 
gram" of  his  own,  the  principles  laid  down  in  his  address  really  go  to 

[428] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF   INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

the  root  of  the  matter.  He  touches  its  heart  in  the  words :  "It  is  clear 
that  nations  must  in  the  future  be  governed  by  the  same  high  code  of 
honor  that  we  demand  of  individuals."  And  he  sees  the  means  in  "a 
universal  association  of  the  nations,"  a  "great  consummation,  when 
some  common  force  will  be  brought  into  existence  which  shall  safe- 
guard right  as  the  first  and  most  fundamental  interest  of  all  peoples 
and  all  Governments,  when  coercion  shall  be  summoned  not  to  the 
service  of  political  ambition  or  selfish  hostility,  but  to  the  service  of  a 
common  order,  a  common  justice,  and  a  common  peace." 

IV 

If  the  allowance  of  "non-justiciable"  questions  would  be  a  fatal 
defect  in  any  plan  to  substitute  an  international  judiciary  for  war,  con- 
finement of  the  League  and  Court  to  a  limited  number  or  class  of  na- 
tions would  be  no  less  disastrous.  An  interesting  proposal  of  this  kind 
has  recently  been  made  in  an  able  volume,  "The  Restoration  of  Eu- 
rope," by  Dr.  Alfred  H.  Fried  of  Austria,  winner  of  the  Nobel  Peace 
Priz-e  in  1911.  Referring  to  the  danger  of  the  opposing  ambitions 
and  rivalries  of  alliances  of  European  nations,  he  says : 

Alliances  cannot  be  ended  by  a  simple  decree.  It  is  of  no  use  to  forbid  them.  Even 
after  the  war  there  will  be  no  power  strong  enough  to  carry  out  such  a  decree.  Even 
within  the  nations  it  will  be  difficult  to  combat  the  evil,  for  only  a  very  powerful  State 
would  undertake  a  parliamentary  decree  to  enter  no  alliances.  The  others  will  refrain 
from  alliances  only  when  to  do  so  has  become  the  general  rule;  and  that  will  happen  only 
when  the  method  of  common  action  in  the  work  of  restoration  is  so  far  developed  that  the 
nations  find  in  it  a  real  substitute  for  the  poor  system  of  individual  alliances.  That  is 
not  so  difficult  as  it  seems.  It  is  only  a  matter  of  a  second  step  following  the  first.  The 
Triple  Alliance  and  the  Triple  Entente  would  be  replaced  by  a  European  alliance. 

There  is  nothing  real  to  prevent  the  substitution  of  a  European  alliance  for  the  separate 
alliances  of  today.  The  fact  that  a  general  European  alliance  need  not  be  political  at  all, 
indeed,  would  have  no  reason  to  be  so,  makes  such  a  step  easier.  If  all  the  nations  should 
unite  there  would  be  no  occasion  to  direct  their  energies  against  any  other  State — unless 
it  be  an  extra-European  constellation.  The  political  aspect  would  cease  to  exist,  and  with 
it  our  greatest  obstacle  would  be  overcome.  A  general  European  alliance  would  not  have 
the  menacing  character  of  the  alliances  of  the  past,  and  would  be  far  more  helpful  in 
economic  and  social  life.  Such  an  agreement  would  doubtless  have  its  effect  upon  the 
political  life  of  the  participating  States  and  secure  more  real  protection  than  the  present- 
day  so-called  "protective"  alliances  possibly  could.  It  would  also  create  an  atmosphere  in 
which  the  institutions  of  The  Hague  could  develop  into  that  which  they  were  intended  to 
be-  The  Hague  Conferences  would  finally  be  vivified,  and,  supported  by  the  will  of  the 
organized  world,  would  become  effective. 

It  will  be  remarked  that,  from  the  standpoint  of  the  nations  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere,  one  sentence  of  Dr.  Fried  is  ominous:  "If  all 
the  [European]  nations  should  unite  there  would  be  no  occasion  to 
direct  their  energies  against  another  State — unless  it  be  an  extra-Eu- 
ropean constellation."  Nor  is  it  reassuring  to  know  that  our  Pan- 
American  Union  is  the  very  "constellation"  which  Dr.  Fried  has  in 

[429] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

mind.  The  Pan-American  Union  is  his  model  for  the  proposed  Eu- 
ropean Union,  and  he  urges  expressly  Old  World  coalition  in  order  that 
"a  united  Europe  may  meet  that  united  continent  across  the  ocean." 
Thus  of  Pan-American  co-operation  he  writes: 

Years  of  peaceful  co-operation  between  nations  and  their  representatives  strengthen 
confidence,  engender  a  habit  of  mind  which  does  not  presuppose  hostile  intentions  in  one's 
neighbors,  and  in  critical  issues  reinforces  the  determination  to  let  rational  considerations 
decide.  Arbitration  and  mediation  have  reached  their  highest  developments  on  the  American 
continents.  The  peaceful  co-operative  union  expedites  peaceful  settlement  of  such  dis- 
putes as  inevitably  arise. 

Before  the  war  there  was  much  talk  of  the  American  menace,  by  which  was  meant 
economic  competition.  It  exists,  but  in  a  different  form.  A  continent  so  organized  will 
only  too  easily  win  precedence  over  divided  Europe.  If  that  disorganization  which  has 
led  to  war  should  continue  after  the  war,  the  danger  of  the  associated  States  of  Pan 
America  outstripping  Europe  will  be  far  greater.  The  war  has  changed  the  relative  posi- 
tion of  Europe  and  America,  and  not  to  the  advantage  of  Europe.  Europe  will  lag  behind 
America  because  of  its  disorganization,  and  also  because  of  its  exhaustion.  Hence  a  co- 
operative union  must  be  formed,  that  a  united  Europe  may  meet  that  united  continent 
across  the  ocean — not  for  attack,  but  to  make  further  co-operation  possible. 

The  peril  to  world-peace  of  a  Union  of  Europe  arrayed  against  a 
Union  of  America  was  very  definitely  in  the  writer's  mind  when  writ- 
ing to  the  Pan-American  delegates  more  than  a  year  ago ;  and  the  pro- 
posal made  was  to  inaugurate  in  the  Western  Hemisphere  an  interna- 
tional system  suited  to  the  whole  world,  which  all  nations  might  join, 
"instead  of  leaving  us  in  separated  groups  which  might  at  any  time 
clash."  Thus  we  wrote: 

As  you  know,  it  has  been  widely  urged  that  following  the  present  waf  in  Europe  a 
confederation  of  the  European  Powers,  a  kind  of  United  States  of  Europe,  should  be 
formed.  As  a  proposal  in  the  interest  of  international  peace,  such  a  project  must  enlist 
our  sympathies.  Yet  I  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  such  a  European  combination, 
should  it  be  effected  with  the  best  of  motives,  would  instantly  be  recognized  by  us,  human 
nature  being  what  it  is,  as  a  new  menace  to  all  the  peoples  of  the  New  World. 

I  mention  this  possibility  simply  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  a  world-crisis  has  arisen 
which  should  incite  the  peoples  of  the  Western  Hemisphere,  now  at  peace,  to  a  strenuous 
effort  to  discover  and  put  into  operation  some  practical  international  solution  around  which 
all  the  law-abiding  nations  of  the  earth  might  unite,  instead  of  leaving  us  in  separated 
groups  which  might  at  any  time  clash. 

Race  questions  have  embroiled  Europe  in  the  most  terrible  war  in  the  world's  history. 
Race  issues  between  the  East  and  West  already  exist.  A  race  struggle  for  the  domination 
of  Africa  is  one  of  the  clearly  discernible  probabilities  of  the  near  future. 

In  the  Republics  of  the  Western  Hemisphere,  on  the  other  hand,  a  remarkable  process 
of  race  amalgamation  has  been  going  on,  demonstrating  to  the  whole  world  that,  within 
national  bounds,  and  under  free  institutions,  there  is  no  just  reason  why  differences  of 
birth  should  prevent  the  happy  progress  of  the  human  family.  One  problem  remains, 
toward  whose  solution  you,  gentlemen,  have  just  been  making  a  most  valuable  contribution, 
to-wit :  can  our  American  Republics,  Latin-American  and  Anglo-Saxon,  demonstrate  to 
the  world  that,  as  race  differences  may  be  blended  in  a  common  civilization  within  a  nation, 
so  may  they  also  be  blended  in  a  perfect  co-operation  between  nations  that  shall  enthrone 
international  law  and  peace  over  international  self-will  and  war? 

The  threat  to  peace  of  a  Pan-Europe  in  the  same  world  with  a 
Pan-America  must  be  manifest  to  every  thinking  American.  Should 

[430] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL  GOVERNMENT 

such  an  alignment  come,  which  God  forefend,  how  long  will  it  be 
before  the  obnoxious  Monroe  Doctrine,  long  an  irritating  thorn  in  the 
side  of  European  ambition,  will  be  involved  in  a  life-and-death  strug- 
gle more  fearful  perhaps  even  than  the  present  war  in  Europe  ? 

But  if  separate  European  and  American  Unions  would  prophesy 
war,  and  not  peace ;  so  would  an  alignment  of  the  United  States  with 
one  of  the  coalitions  in  the  present  European  struggle.  This  has  been 
suggested,  vaguely  or  definitely,  on  both  sides.  A  post-war  co-opera- 
tion between  the  Teutonic  Empires  and  the  United  States  is  predicated 
upon  their  common  interest  in  the  doctrine  of  the  freedom  of  the  seas. 
But  not  many  who  are  conversant  with  public  sentiment  in  America 
will  think  such  an  alignment  even  remotely  possible.  The  one  contin- 
gency out  of  which  it  might  arise,  however,  would  be  the  rashness  of 
the  present  Allies  in  carrying  out  the  ominous  scheme  of  an  economic 
war  following  peace,  in  which  they  might  attempt  to  boycott  America 
for  trading  with  the  Central  Empires.  Wicked  politics  breed  strange 
combinations. 

On  the  other  hand,  a  League  of  the  Allies  and  the  United  States 
to  Enforce  Peace  after  the  war,  based  upon  a  supposed  common  inter- 
est in  democratic  institutions,  has  been  seriously  proposed  by  Ameri- 
cans. The  World's  Work  for  July,  1916,  has  an  interesting  editorial 
article  on  this  subject,  in  which  it  says : 

Mr.  Theodore  Marburg,  before  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace,  proposed  that  the  United 
States  should  join  with  those  other  nations  which  look  upon  civilization  as  we  do,  so  that 
no  matter  what  combinations  should  arise  among  the  autocratic  nations  after  this  war  a 
vigilance  committee  of  democracies  would  be  organized  to  keep  the  peace. 

The  World's  Work  also  cites,  as  if  for  serious  consideration,  the 
following  far-fetched  and  ridiculous  suggestion  by  the  New  Republic : 

One  truth  sticks  out  violently  in  this  crisis  with  Germany.  If  we  break  off  diplomatic 
relations,  we  have  made  an  enemy  of  a  great  Power.  Once  we  force  Germany  to  yield,  we 
have  taken  from  her  a  darling  and  perhaps  an  indispensable  weapon.  Should  Germany 
lose  the  war,  or  merely  deadlock  it,  as  surely  as  the  sun  rises  in  the  east  we  shall  have  to 
bear  the  odium.  When  the  rulers  of  Germany  start  to  explain  they  will  say  that  our  friend- 
liness to  the  Allies,  our  shipment  of  munitions,  and  our  stand  on  the  submarine  question 
turned  the  scale  against  Germany.  Whatever  the  outcome  we  shall  have  made  Germany 
bitter.  If  we  have  made  an  enemy,  we  must  make  a  friend.  This  crisis  has  revealed  to 
every  thinking  man  the  peril  of  isolation.  We  have  ranged  ourselves,  unconsciously  it 
would  seem,  on  the  side  of  Western  sea  power.  Having  made  that  bed  we  dare  not 
refuse  to  lie  in  it.  We  have  taken  sides  in  the  war,  and  if  American  diplomacy  has  any 
vision  it  will  understand  that  its  first  duty  is  to  turn  the  danger  we  have  incurred  from 
Germany  into  a  constructive  understanding  with  France  and  the  British  Empire. 

In  our  diplomatic  relations  with  Germany  we  have  done  no  more 
than  to  stand  conservatively  upon  the  ground  of  our  neutral  rights 
under  existing  international  law.  To  make  the  passing  irritation  from 

[431] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

our  just  course  a  scare-crow  to  frighten  us  into  an  unrighteous  alliance 
is  worthy  of  a  school-boy.  Not  on  any  such  ridiculous  grounds  will 
America  fly  into  one  of  those  truly  "entangling"  alliances  against 
which  Washington  warned  us. 

Not  much  better  is  Mr.  Marburg's  suggestion.  Let  us  be  honest 
with  ourselves.  When  have  the  "European  democracies,"  of  which 
the  World's  Work  speaks,  developed  such  zeal  for  the  liberties  of  other 
peoples  that  they  should  now  with  us  assume  the  exalted  responsibility 
of  a  world's  "vigilance  committee  of  democracies?"  Though  we  are 
of  course  unconscious  of  it,  such  suggestions  are  about  ninety-nine  per 
cent,  humbug.  Let  some  of  these  noble  "democracies"  bring  forth  a 
few  "works  meet  for  repentance"  before  we  venture  upon  such  pious 
phariseeism.  A  few  years  ago  Great  Britain  destroyed  two  republics 
in  South  Africa.  Some  years  before  that  France  imposed  an  Emperor 
upon  our  sister-republic,  Mexico.  The  Monroe  Doctrine  was  our  own 
device  to  safeguard  republican  liberties  on  this  continent,  and  its  exist- 
ence is  not  an  evidence  that  we  considered  "European  democracies"  as 
our  fitting  allies  in  this  task. 

Nor  has  it  ever  been  our  national  ideal  to  impose  republican  or 
democratic  institutions  upon  reluctant  peoples.  We  hold  simply  that 
government,  any  government,  derives  its  just  powers  from  the  consent 
of  the  governed ;  and  our  sympathy  is  simply  with  the  rights  of  peoples 
to  maintain  the  forms  of  government  they  prefer.  Democracy  would 
play  a  sorry  part,  rushing  through  the  world  in  the  spirit  of  Mahomet 
with  the  fierce  cry,  "Democracy  or  the  sword!"  The  blood-thirsty 
fanatics  of  the  French  Revolution  gave  the  world  all  of  this  that  it 
cares  to  see. 

V. 

But  we  can  unite  with  the  existing  governments  of  the  world ;  not 
to  quarrel  with  their  forms  and  methods ;  not  to  remodel  their  constitu- 
tions, save  only  as  the  force  of  moral  example  accomplishes  its  gradual 
but  efficacious  work;  nor  yet  to  meddle  with  their  internal  affairs,  ex- 
cept in  cases  of  volcanic  eruption  threatening  the  welfare  of  the  world 
at  large;  but  to  co-operate  in  reducing  to  law  and  order  that  great 
realm  of  rights  and  differences  out  of  which  serious  questions  and 
blighting  wars  arise  between  nations.  For  such  co-operation  no  na- 
tion need  alter  its  own  house  (however  advisable  in  itself)  ;  it  need 
only  agree  to  keep  its  hand  off  its  neighbor's  house,  unless  in  discharge 
of  some  police-duty  authorized  by  all  the  nations.  The  practicability 

[432] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF   INTERNATIONAL   GOVERNMENT 

of  such  co-operation  is  apparent  to  men  like  Sir  Edward  Grey,  Lord 
Haldane,  and  President  Wilson. 

We  can  appreciate  the  benefit  to  our  own  Country.  We  find  that 
we  cannot  to-day  remain  unaffected  by  the  world's  troubles ;  while  the 
new  methods  of  warfare,  revealing  the  necessity  for  immense  capital 
and  years  of  military  preparation,  have  awakened  us  out  of  our  leth- 
argy. If  we  cannot  pool  our  police-power  with  that  of  others  in  an 
armament-reducing  League  of  Nations,  we  have  no  prudent  alternative 
but  to  tax  our  resources  heavily  and  permanently  to  provide  armament 
as  insurance  against  unexpected  attack  and  defeat  by  grasping  mili- 
tary powers.  Which  course  shall  we  follow?  Thoughtful  men  have 
little  doubt  which  is  preferable.  Says  the  New  York  Times,  speaking 
editorially  of  President  Wilson's  suggestion  : 

Pacifists  and  militarists,  big  army  men  and  little  army  men,  peace  leaguers  and  security 
leaguers,  can  accept  it,  laud  and  embrace  it.  The  plan  is  not  new.  It  is  the  world  police 
plan  stated  in  the  President's  words.  It  has  been  advocated  by  the  two  living  ex-Presi- 
dents. Nobody  but  an  avowed  advocate  of  blood  and  carnage  could  oppose  it,  save  on  the 
grounds  of  impracticability. 

The  war  has  disclosed  a  great  moral  necessity  and  has  "set  forward  the  thinking  of  the 
statesmen  by  a  whole  age."  So  says  Mr.  Wilson.  The  address  he  delivered  bears  high 
testimony  to  that  advance  in  thought. 

That  Washington's  "great  rule  of  conduct  for  us  in  regard  to  foreign  nations"  that 
we  should  "have  with  them  as  little  political  connection  as  possible"  is  in  no  wise  applica- 
ble to  a  league  of  the  nations  for  the  purpose  of  insuring  peace  appears  from  the  very 
words  of  the  Farewell  Address.  "Why,"  said  he,  "by  interweaving  our  destiny  with  that  of 
any  part  of  Europe  entangle  our  peace  and  prosperity  in  the  toils  of  European  ambition,  rival- 
ship,  interest,  humor  or  caprice?"  It  requires  no  argument  to  show  that  by  entering  a 
universal  association  of  the  nations  for  peace  we  should  not  become  a  party  to  the  ambi- 
tions, the  rivalship,  the  interest,  the  humor,  or  the  caprice  of  the  European  Powers.  But 
the  irrelevancy  of  Washington's  counsel  to  the  question  of  joining  a  world-wide  effort  to 
insure  peace  appears  most  clearly  from  a  comparison  of  our  actual  experience  during  the 
present  war  with  the  picture  of  national  remoteness  and  security  drawn  by  the  Father  of 
his  Country: 

"If  we  remain  one  people,  under  an  efficient  Government,  the  period  is  not  far  off 
when  we  may  defy  material  injury  from  external  annoyance;  when  we  may  take  such  an 
attitude  as  will  cause  the  neutrality  we  may  at  any  time  resolve  upon  to  be  scrupulously 
respected ;  when  belligerent  nations,  under  the  impossibility  of  making  acquisition  upon  us, 
will  not  lightly  hazard  the  giving  us  provocation ;  when  we  may  choose  peace  or  war,  as 
our  interest,  guided  by  justice,  shall  counsel." 

The  first  President  of  the  Republic  spoke  under  the  prompting  of  a  fond  hope.  The 
President  of  to-day  speaks  with  actual  experience  of  distressing  conditions. 

Very  happily  the  present  Congress,  in  providing  appropriations 
for  armament  unparalleled  in  this  Country  in  times  of  peace,  declares 
our  measures  of  preparedness  to  be  in  the  interest  of  universal  peace 
and  disarmament  following  the  European  War.  The  statement  to  this 
effect  unanimously  adopted  by  the  House  Committee  on  Navy  Affairs 
as  a  part  of  the  Navy  Appropriation  bill,  reads : 

Upon  conclusion  of  the  war  in  Europe,  or  as  soon  thereafter  as  it  may  be  done,  the 
President  of  the  United  States  is  authorized  to  invite  all  great  Governments  of  the  world 

[433] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

to  send  representatives  to  a  conference,  which  shall  be  charged  with  the  duty  of  suggest- 
ing an  organization,  court  of  arbitration,  or  other  body,  to  which  disputed  questions  between 
nations  shall  be  referred  for  adjudication  and  peaceful  settlement,  and  to  consider  the 
question  of  disarmament  and  submit  their  recommendations  to  their  respective  Govern- 
ments for  approval;  that  the  President  is  hereby  authorized  to  appoint  nine  citizens  of 
the  United  States,  who  shall  be  qualified  for  the  mission  by  eminence  in  the  law  and  by 
devotion  to  the  cause  of  peace,  to  be  representatives  of  the  United  States  in  such  con- 
ference ;  that  the  President  shall  fix  the  compensation  of  the  said  representatives,  and 
such  other  employes  as  may  be  needed  are  hereby  authorized,  and  $200,000,  or  so  much 
thereof  as  may  be  needed,  is  hereby  appropriated  for  that  purpose  and  placed  at  his  dis- 
posal. 

That  the  spirit  of  this  resolution  is  understood  and  appreciated  in 
some  quarters  abroad  we  learn  from  a  striking  two-column  editorial  in 
the  London  Daily  News  from  the  pen  of  its  editor,  Mr.  Alfred  G. 
Gardiner,  in  which  he  says : 

The  underlying  watchword  of  the  preparedness  issue  which  is  sweeping  the  United 
States  is  the  idea  that  the  power  of  America  should  be  used  to  deliver  humanity  from  the 
toils  in  which  it  has  been  enmeshed  by  the  past ;  that  it  should  be  the  weapon  of  a  new 
dispensation,  and  that  the  affairs  of  men  shall  henceforth  be  subject  to  the  arbitrament, 
not  of  force,  but  of  justice. 

The  sword  which  America  is  forging  will  be  used  not  to  make  war,  but  to  make  war 
on  war  and  to  lay  the  foundation  of  world  security.  It  means  that  America  will  be  the 
saviour  of  Europe. 

On  President  Wilson's  address  before  the  League  to  Enforce 
Peace,  the  same  newspaper  commented  as  follows : 

President  Wilson  has  never  delivered  a  speech  more  pregnant  of  possibilities.  Noth- 
ing is  as  clear  as  that  on  fundamental  issues,  which  go  far  beyond  the  settlement  that  will 
terminate  the  present  war,  President  Wilson  and  Sir  Edward  Grey  are  at  one.  His  speech 
contains  an  element  of  challenge  that  brings  Utopia  in  relation  with  the  actual.  His  ideals 
will  be  unhesitatingly  indorsed  by  the  Entente  Powers.  It  is  not  easy  to  see  how  they 
can  be  repudiated  by  the  Teutonic  Powers.  His  proposals  are  not  designed  to  end  this 
war,  but  they  are  rich  in  the  hope  for  averting  many  threatened  wars  in  the  future. 

An  editorial  in  the  New  York  World,  however,  suggests  very 
reasonably  that  President  Wilson's  proposal  may  open  the  way  for  an 
earlier  peace  in  Europe  than  would  otherwise  be  probable.  Both  sides 
demand  a  war-decision  which  shall  absolutely  guarantee  permanent 
peace  hereafter;  but  each  thinks  it  can  trust  no  guarantee  except  the 
complete  crippling  and  exhaustion  of  its  foes.  As  the  World  says : 

These  states  of  mind  constitute  the  great  and  most  powerful  of  the  imponderables 
of  the  war.  They  can  be  removed  only  by  years  of  fighting  that  will  lead  to  complete  ex- 
haustion, or  by  the  injection  of  some  new  force  or  idea  that  will  produce  the  absolute  con- 
viction of  security  in  the  minds  of  the  peoples  of  the  warring  nations.  It  is  possible  that 
the  United  States  might  be  that  new  force  that  will  bring  that  sense  of  security  without 
which  this  war  may  continue  for  many  years.  The  President's  speech  has  made  vivid  the 
idea  of  a  union  of  the  United  States  with  the  nations  of  Europe  for  the  purpose  of  assuring 
peace  with  justice  and  security. 

In  this  spirit  the  London  Economist  declares  that  "city  assuredly 
will  welcome  the  powerful  aid  of  President  Wilson,  toward  the  goal  of 
permanent  and  honorable  peace,"  and  concludes  as  follows : 

[434] 


THE  WORLD  S   NEED  OF  INTERNATIONAL   GOVERNMENT 

1.  It  is  more  desirable  to  save  France,  Belgium  and  Serbia  than  to.  ruin  Germany  and 
Austria. 

2.  Whenever  the  peace  comes,  it  is  as  certain  as  anything  human  can  be  that  it  will 
be   followed  by  bankruptcies,  unemployment,  misery  and  discontent  of  all  kinds.     And   in 
Germany  all  this   wretchedness   will  be   especially  acute.     It  would   be   strange   indeed   if 
under  these   circumstances  a   vast   moral   and   political   revolution    did   not   follow,   during 
which  the  military  caste  (and,  let  us  hope,  the  yellow  press)  will  be  swept  away. 

3.  The  only  people  who  can  punish  those  responsible  for  the  war  are  their  own  people. 
It  is  not  fair  to  the  British  or  to  the  French  armies  to  continue  a  struggle  which  costs 

so  many  thousands  of  lives  daily  in  the  hope — probably  a  vain  one— ^of  being  able  to  arrange 
terms  under  which  the  great  criminals  shall  be  executed  or  guillotined. 

We  all  know  what  the  Russian  and  Italian  governments  want.  We  think  we  know 
what  France  wants,  and  we  certainly  know  what  Belgium  wants.  If  all  the  territorial  demands 
of  our  allies  could  be  satisfied  tomorrow,  and  some  arrangement  could  be  made  about  the 
colonies,  we  should  have  peace,  and  we  should  hear  no  more  about  the  punishment  of 
those  responsible  for  the  war. 

However  long  this  war  last,  however  many  millions  of  homes  are  still  to  be  devastated, 
however  widely  famine  and  pestilence  may  rage,  however  many  more  billions  of  debt  are 
accumulated  for  redemption  or  repudiation,  the  war  will  still  haye  to  be  ended  by  nego- 
tiation, by  a  series  of  bargains  and  compromises,  which  will  satisfy  none  of  the  orators 
of  war,  but  will,  we  hope,  with  President  Wilson,  serve  as  a  charter  of  liberty,  law  and 
peace  to  all  the  nations  of  Europe  for  many  generations. 

Thus  now  at  the  door  of  America  there  loudly  knocks  an  amazing 
opportunity  for  world-service  which  we  as  early  as  October  10,  1914, 
foretold  in  a  communication  to  the  New  York  Evening  Post,  from 
which  we  quote  the  following : 

How  can  our  peace  treaties  be  made  the  basis  for  a  complete  system  for  judicial  set- 
tlement of  international  disputes?  By  making  them  mutually  operative  between  all  the 
signatory  nations,  by  erecting  a  final  court  of  appeals,  and  placing  behind  the  decisions 
of  this  court  the  combined  police  power — the  armies  and  navies — of  all  the  co-operating 
nations.  This  can  be  firmly  established  as  the  immediate  outcome  of  the  present  war  if 
the  republics  of  North,  South,  and  Central  America  will  agree  upon  the  simple  machinery 
necessary  and  put  it  in  operation  for  the  Western  Hemisphere.  When  we  prove  the  method 
practical  other  nations  will  join. 

The  present  war  shows  that  human  conscience  has  taken  an  immense  step  in  this 
direction.  The  aggressive  Powers  cut  diplomacy  short  by  a  swift  appeal  to  the  duel  of  the 
battlefield.  Yet,  instinctively  feeling  that  success  or  failure  at  arms  would  not  decide  the 
question  of  right  or  wrong  for  the  world,  there  was  at  once  a  most  astonishing  appeal  by 
documents  and  statements  to  the  court  of  the  world's  conscience.  Why  not  have  made 
this  appeal  first,  and  so  have  avoided  the  other? 

Although  the  decisions  of  the  final  court  would  constitute  inviolable  law  while  they 
stand,  they  should  not  be  deemed  infallible.  Provision  should  be  made  for  possible  appeal 
back  to  the  final  court  of  appeals  at  the  recurrence  of  fixed  terms  of  years,  so  that  the 
court  might  reverse  itself  in  any  new  light.  When  righteousness  thus  finds  itself  never 
shut  off  from  the  right  to  continue  to  educate  and  appeal  to  the  conscience  of  mankind,  the 
sole  justification  for  war  will  disappear  from  the  face  of  the  earth. 

Only  by  co-operation  will  nations  become  chivalrous,  teaching  themselves  and  enforc- 
ing upon  one  another  the  truth  that  the  possession  of  power  is  tolerable  in  the  sight  of 
human  conscience  only  when  it  places  the  protection  of  the  weak  above  its  own  ambition. 
The  moral  basis  of  co-operation  throughout  the  Western  Hemisphere  resides  in  the  state- 
ment of  President  Wilson  that  the  United  States  covet  and  seek  no  further  territory  any- 
where in  the  world,  but  desire  the  maintenance,  in  peace,  of  present  conditions. 

This  would  preserve  the  American  republics  alike  from  war  between  themselves  and 
aggression  from  without ;  for  our  combined  police  power  would  prohibit  any  other  nation 
from  prosecuting  a  cause  against  any  one  by  any  other  method  than  that  of  law  procedure 
through  the  courts.  We  would  welcome  any  nation  to  share  our  advantages  by  appoint- 
ment of  a  commission  with  each  participating  nation  and  nomination  of  a  judge  to  the 
final  court  of  appeals.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

We  can  render  the  world  an  immortal  service  by  arraying  the  free  peoples  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere  in  solid  phalanx  behind  a  law  of  nations  and  an  international  gov- 
ernment. 

Our  greatest  immediate  danger  as  Americans  is  incredulity.  In 
the  sloth  and  content  of  peace  and  prosperity  it  is  difficult  for  us  to 
believe  that  the  world  so  soon  is  ready  to  try  an  unprecedented  experi- 
ment of  international  government.  But  the  warring  powers  face  com- 
plete financial  exhaustion  and  bankruptcy.  Unheard-of  revenues 
must  be  raised  by  unparalleled  taxation  to  keep  up  after  the  war  even 
the  interest-payments  on  the  billions  borrowed  and  squandered  in  de- 
struction. Can  the  exhausted  exchequers  of  Europe  meet  such  pay- 
ments, and  at  the  same  time  provide  staggering  outlays  for  a  renewed 
competition  in  national  armaments  fiercer  than  before?  The  very 
thought  is  heart-breaking.  It  is  impossible  to  contemplate  such  a  situ- 
ation. Europe  must  find  some  way  to  purge  herself  of  her  huge  armies 
and  navies — or  else  fall  back  a  hopelessly  impoverished  wreck. 

Statesmen  see  this  with  staring  eyes ;  and  when  they  make  the 
sign,  its  truth  will  swiftly  overwhelm  the  people.  Any  feasible  league 
for  peace,  to  lift  the  gigantic  burdens  of  armament,  will  be  grasped  at 
as  a  mercy  from  God — as  indeed  it  will  be,  if  vouchsafed. 

The  British  Empire  is  by  far  the  richest  of  the  suffering  powers. 
If  Englishmen  cannot  stand  the  coming  pressure,  what  people  can 
stand  it?  Yet  it  is  British  statesmen,  a  race  farsighted  in  things 
economic,  who  desperately  look  to  America  for  a  Moses  to  lead  a  uni- 
versal exodus  out  of  our  house  of  military  bondage. 

The  hour  is  at  hand.  Shall  we  Americans  rise  to  this  glorious 
issue?  Have  we  wisdom  to  understand  the  times,  spiritual  vision  to 
invoke  our  highest  ideals,  and  the  noble  courage  to  marshal  them 
toward  a  great  achievement? 

A  sound  comes  over  the  sea — a  wail,  a  prayer,  and  not  a  challenge. 
It  is  the  cry  of  a  sorrow  with  death  in  every  home,  and  in  its  hands  a 
curse  and  plague  of  war  it  knows  not  how  to  let  go  or  cast  from  it.  And 
to  us,  who  have  fed  and  nursed  their  fallen,  the  warring  nations  look 
to  somehow  save  them  from  themselves. 

God  help  us  if,  clothed  in  the  mercies  He  has  placed  around  us, 
we  do  not  rise  up  out  of  all  selfishnesses  to  be  about  this  work !  God  sel- 
dom calls  a  nation  to  be  the  savior  of  a  generation.  Woe  to  it,  if  it  be 
not  ready!

HE  VERSE  which  follows  was  written  in  November, 
1915,  with  revision  since.  It  seeks  to  avoid  partisan 
judgment  of  the  great  struggle  in  Europe,  although 
the  conviction  of  a  general  guilt,  so  strongly  expressed, 
may  seem  extreme  to  all  partisans  alike.  The  imme- 
diate responsibility  for  the  present  war,  fixed  by 
facts  and  documents  accessible  to  the  whole  world,  is  recognized;  but 
not  apart  from  the  more  remote  responsibility  in  the  immemorial 
selfishness  and  injustice  from  which  all  nations,  alas,  have  taken  stain. 
Believing,  as  the  fathers  of  our  land  believed,  that  the  Hand  of 
Heaven  moves  in  the  affairs  of  men,  I  am  persuaded  that  we  cannot 
with  impunity  neglect  this  war's  prophetic  call  to  national  and  interna- 
tional humiliation  and  repentance.  Ninevah  repented,  and  found  mercy. 
Why  may  not  we?  And  if  greater  woes  are  not  to  follow,  we  must 
earnestly  seek  wisdom  to  end  the  age-long  anarchy  of  warring  powers, 
by  instituting  just  and  powerful  international  government  —  law,  ju- 
diciary, and  police  power. 


"Then  all  the  children  of  Israel  went  out,  and  the  congregation  was  gathered  together 
as  one  man  ....  unto  the  Lord  in  Mispeh  ...... 

"And  the  tribes  of  Israel  sent  men  through  all  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  saying,  What 
wickedness  is  this  that  is  done  among  you?....  But  the  children  of  Benjamin  would  not 
hearken  to  the  voice  of  their  brethren,  the  children  of  Israel;  but  the  children  of  Benjamin 
gathered  themselves  together.  ..  .unto  Gibeah,  to  go  out  to  battle  against  the  childrea  of 
Israel  ---- 

"And  the  children  of  Israel  arose,  and  went  up  to  the  house  of  God,  and  asked  counsel 
of  God,  and  said,  Which  of  us  shall  go  up  first  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Benjamin? 
And  the  Lord  said,  Judah  shall  go  up  first.  .  .  .And  the  children  of  Benjamin  came  forth  out 
of  Gibeah,  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of  the  Israelites  that  day  twenty  and  two 
thousand  men. 

"And  the  people,  the  men  of  Israel,  encouraged  themselves,  and  set  their  battle  again 
in  array,  in  the  place  where  they  put  themselves  in  array  the  first  day.  And  the  children  of 
Israel  went  up  and  wept  before  the  Lord  until  even,  and  asked  counsel  of  the  Lord,  saying, 
Shall  I  go  up  again  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Benjamin,  my  brother?  And  the  Lord 
said,  Go  up  against  him....  And  Benjamin  went  forth  against  them  out  of  Gibeah  the  sec- 
ond day  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of  the  children  of  Israel  again  eighteen  thousand 
men.  .  .  . 

"Then  all  the  children  of  Israel,  and  all  the  people,  went  up,  and  came  unto  the  house 
of  God,  and  wept,  and  sat  there  before  the  Lord,  and  fasted  that  day  until  even,  and  offered

burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings  before  the  Lord.  And  the  children  of  Israel  enquired 
of  the  Lord,  ....  saying,  Shall  I  yet  again  go  out  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Benjamin, 
my  brother,  or  shall  I  cease?  And  the  Lord  said,  Go  up,  for  tomorrow  I  will  deliver  them 
into  thine  hand....  And  the  Lord  smote  Benjamin  before  Israel."  (Judges  20:  I,  12-14,  18, 
21-23,  25-27,  35.) 

A  grievous  voice  of  wailing  in  the  earth 

Like  Ramah's,  Rachel  weeping  for  her  children, 

And  would  not  be  comforted  because  they  were  not ! 

This  side  the  grave  what  surgeon's  kit  can  sew 
The  gap  death's  shrapnel  lacerates  through  love? 

Lo,  canny  buying,  unctuous  selling,  greed's 
Trade-crafty  calculation,  lucre-eyed 
Acquisitive  speculation,  swift  deploy 
Their  scouts  upon  the  storm-cloud,  gear  the  blast, 
And  drive  the  bitted  whirlwind,  leagued  with  death 
And  pelting  blood-sleet,  merchandizing  life 
And  dicing  for  the  world  with  iron  throw. 

Our  swords  have  sinned ;  alas,  all  Israel  bleeds 
Under  the  violence  of  Benjamin ! 

The  wounded  towns  gasp  stupified.    A  sob, 

Strangled  among  its  birth-throes,  chokes  the  heart 

Of  buoyant,  supple  Paris,  thrilled  with  woe, 

Arms  crooked  through  crowds  of  cripples,  her  lean  hands 

Scraping  the  trembling  mold  of  constant  graves. 

Lone  gates  and  walls  slope  sadly ;  street  and  street 

Slant  sombre  and  aghast  and  mute  with  pain, 

Save  where  the  doleful  shuffle  of  lorn  feet 

Of  white-faced  black-robed  widows,  and  the  tap 

Of  melancholy  crutches,  sting  the  stones. 

Now  pants  she,  stumbling  up  the  house  of  God 
Through  old  forgotten  windings,  willing  grief 
Should  catechize  the  searchings  of  the  heart 
To  plumb  self's  errors  by  another's  sin? 
Or  out  of  wrongings,  wronged,  a  damning  vail 
Deceptively  spun  round  a  twisted  soul, 
That  tips  her  mirror  slanted  not  to  see 
Her  likeness  in  the  guilt  that  strikes  at  her, 

[438] 


THE  CITIES 

Doth  self-assurance,  pagan-pied,  pride-steeped 
Self-righteously  in  sorrow,  her  stout  guns 
And  resolution,  unabashed  toward  God, 
Unransomed  by  self -judgment,  trust  to  blast 
Through  anguish  new  curst  ways  to  selfish  ends  ? 

Spotted  out  skirts  that  ask  thee,  stricken  France, 

Whose  democratic  banner  flings  far  out 

Over  thy  hero-deeds  a  white  appeal, 

If  brutal  kultur's  rage  to  hang  thy  neck 

In  yokes  of  bondage  no  compunction  jars 

Among  the  memories  of  ambitious  years 

That  built  thy  smothering  empire  over  rights 

Of  weaker  breeds  of  brethren,  but  withheld 

The  dower  of  a  citizen  of  France? 

So  through  thy  winged  dominions  hast  thou  used 

Thy  freedom  to  plant  freedom  that  the  wrong 

To  Gaul  from  Teuton  challenges  God's  throne 

Without  complexion  of  such  justice  in  it 

As  retribution  metes  to  unjust  measure? 

The  cruel  axe  that  bleeds  thee  swings  to  crime: — 

No  guilt  rebuking,  leaps  its  edge  to  carve  thee 

A  crown  of  glory  of  pure  martyrdom  ? 

If  clean  thou  art,  call  heaven  witness  to  it; 

If  stained,  wring  mercy  out  of  penitence! 

How  shrinks  the  world-mart,  all  the  gold  laid  low, 
The  money-changers  huckstering  with  death ! 
Her  old  gray  yellow-splashen  cloak  put  off 
For  dust  and  ashes  and  a  sackcloth  black, 
Sweeping  with  wearily-expectant  eyes 
To  mark  new  wounds,  as  dawn's  ship-glasses  hunt 
The  verge  for  foes,  the  Carthage  of  the  Thames 
Limps  doubtful-hearted  into  toil  at  morn, 
And  shudders  into  lampless  sleep  at  night, 
Or,  shawled  in  midnight,  by  unnumbered  cots 
Broods  over  shattered  features,  hiding  grief 
For  the  marred  visages  that  are  no  more. 
With  quills  of  pallid  shame  the  war-mad  maids, 
Their  young  men  urge  on  death,  that  these  also

May  build  them  narrow  houses  and  lie  down 
Where  England  spills  her  choicest  blood  to  stain 
A  sodden  sleep  with  French  and  Turkish  worms, 
Or  slide  the  steep  Atlantic's  cushioned  plane 
Past  startled  fishes  to  an  oozy  bed. 

Hath  fatted  pride,  dreaming  her  goodness  holds 
A  bond  from  heaven  to  over-lord  the  world, 
Caught  even  a  vision  of  her  need  to  pass 
From  stiff  uncrooking  knees  of  stubborn  ways 
In  fear  and  trembling  to  the  mount  of  God 
To  pour  confession  on  repressured  sin 
And  wrestle  for  a  mercy  undeserved  ? 
Land  of  the  white  man's  sceptre,  is  this  too 
The  white  man's  burden,  to  be  borne,  that  force, 
Tutored  to  rule  the  dusky  tribes,  must  teach 
The  superpale  to  bully  lesser  whites  ? 
And  burns  thy  hand  to  brand  with  wickedness 
The  Teuton  cousin's  imitating  fist 
Forging  all  Europe  slave,  yet  finds  no  fault, 
No  scruple  in  the  clutch,  whose  knuckles  lock 
Rivets  through  half  the  tawny  earth  beside  ? 

And  is  thy  guns'  quest  ours,  beyond  the  sea  ? 

God  help  us  if  we  feel  not  for  thee,  met 

With  violence  that  shocks  the  subtler  Briton! 

But  God  help  more  lest  we  absorb  the  creed 

That  Caesar's  heel  is  vicious  in  a  king, 

All-glorious  in  an  oligarchy;  right 

In  Rome  republican,  and  Carthage  grim, 

And  democratic  Greece,  to  subjugate, 

Imposing  power  that  holds  her  freedoms  back ! 

Blow  on  it,  heaven !  and  let  not  us,  O  God, 

Submerge  our  birthright  in  the  white  man's  burden ! 

Who  would  be  greatest,  let  him  be  man's  servant ! 

Tremble,  old  lion  of  the  island  seas, 

And  gash  with  every  ruthless  tooth  and  claw ! 

For  by  what  deed  of  title  else  shouldst  thou 

Hold  riches  raped  from  Holland,  Spain,  and  France

As  Prussia  bristles  now  to  ravish  thee? 

The  scarred  eternal  mother's  wrinkled  years, 
By  devilries  of  generations  creased, 
Stoop  over  dying  sons,  an  aged  head 
Weeping  beside  the  Tiber. 

Caesar's  sons 

Tear  at  the  toga  of  the  world  to  rip 
A  strip  of  greedy  scarlet,  undismayed 
Where  judgment's  Gothic  axe  the  ancient  curse 
Shame-crumbled — where  humilating  weight 
Of  disciplining  centuries  rebuke 
This  dwarfed  degenerate's  ardor  to  renew 
The  antique  cruel  pagan.

Weep,  gray  Rome, 
-bead  rosary  of  prayers  for  peace ! 


With  graves  engirdled  mourning  Moscow  kneels, 

Unfathomable  patience,  by  the  beds 

Of  wistful  anguish  stolid  as  despair, 

Pain's  mother-eyes  in  painful  children-mirrors 

Poured,  tender,  unrelenting,  resolute, 

Are  thrown,  deep  menace  in  an  aching  gleam, 

A  troubled  searchlight  toward  the  trenched  west 

Where,  hoofed  and  tusked  by  uncouth  friend  and  foe, 

The  Cossack  centaur  and  the  Prussian  boar, 

The  shrinking  flesh  of  ravished  Poland  lies 

Under  the  Hun  and  Teuton. 

God  of  hope, 

Shall  long-enduring  peoples,  that  an  age 
Have  clanked  the  galling  irons  of  the  soul, 
Russian  and  Jew,  thrust  headlong  into  hell, 
No  flaming  angel-loosening  of  bonds 
Clutch,  like  the  children,  out  of  burning  fire?

Corrupt  and  heartless,  grindeth  in  the  dust

Or,  drunk  again,  hath  brain,  through  bleeding  eye 
Whirled  in  a  ruddy  gleaming  vision,  caught 
The  sordid  earth's  dishonourable  dream 
That  for  a  bloody  kopeck  sells  the  souls 
Of  nations  into  hell's  eternal  stock? 

Sin  on,  Assyrian !    God  will  hew  with  thee, 
Then  grind  thee  just  against  a  wheel  of  woe! 

Up,  Israel,  from  the  trenches !  bend  the  knee 

Before  the  unfamiliar  house  of  heaven ! 

Throw  down  hypocrisies,  that  rotted  shield, 

And  stand  up  naked  to  the  guns  of  God 

Till  shotted  truth  beshrive  our  soul  with  wounds 

Where  mercy  may  pour  in  her  oil  and  wine ! 

Why  gird  our  pride  to  fall,  and  still  to  fall, 

Before  our  wicked  brother,  Benjamin  ? 

Or,  should  God  let  the  unrepentant  through, 

Out  of  His  mercy  to  a  bleeding  world, 

Shall  not  His  day  entangle  earth  again, 

And  beat  our  crumpled  empires  through  a  sieve 

Till  two  grains  parch  for  power  to  cleave  together  ? 

Curst  Goth  and  Vandal !  fearful  flail  of  God 
To  thresh  a  grain  of  penance  from  our  husk 
Until  His  anger  cast  thee  down,  a  rod 
Turned  serpent,  into  hell,  if  thou  repent  not ! 
What  shame,  so  well  to  serve  so  base  a  use — 
The  image  in  the  mirror  of  our  crimes !

In  every  gory  age  thy  brand  of  Cain 
Spilling  the  blood  of  Abel  on  the  ground !

Out,  vile  cartoon!  thy  ape-like  caricature, 

In  scarce  a  faint  exaggeration  ours, 

Makes  conscience  hate  her  honesty  that  knows  thee 

And  persecute  her  courage  that  owns  kin !

A  hiss  forever  in  the  human  tongue !

Through  double  thongs  of  treachery  and  greed 

Into  eternal  chambers  of  the  soul,

Bulgaria's  litter  into  sons  of  spoil 

That  marshal  to  the  blare  of  violence 

To  falter  cringing  down  a  straightened  place. 

In  vain  the  slaughterous  and  fatal  Turk 
Christian  apostasy's  degenerate  hates 
With  Islam's  swiftly  oozing  frenzy  steeps, 
Drowning  his  fear  in  murders  of  old  men, 
The  rapes  of  women,  and  the  shame  of  girls. 
The  sapped  usurper's  end  impending  doom 
Stands  writing  on  Byzantium's  seeping  walls, 
Where  creeping  darkness  out  of  land  and  sea 
Steals  noiseless  up,  while,  falling  through  the  west, 
A  disappearing  crescent,  bathed  in  blood, 
Bidding  farewell  to  mosque  and  minaret, 
Hears  the  last  bell  to  Allah,  and  sinks  down 
Forever  underneath  the  waiting  hills 
Relentless  as  the  Everlasting  Judge.

Famished  and  wan,  Vienna's  waning  song 

Goes  tremulous  and  lagging,  beating  time 

To  drip  of  inextinguishable  tears 

That  out  of  unexpected  fountains  dream 

Sadly  of  absent  faces  walled  in  pits 

In  the  white  sepulchres  of  Russian  snows. 

How  is  the  happy  city  humbled,  skilled 

To  roll  the  ease  of  good  things  and  drift  blithe 

As  ripples  gleaming  in  her  river !  God 

Be  merciful  to  her  whose  tyrants  showed 

No  mercy  to  the  Slav,  nor  their  own  sons ! 

Shame,  gray-haired  crown,  unleashing  coward  lords 

To  bully  weakness  braver  than  thy  realm, 

Disfiguring  honor  in  a  skulking  plot 

Of  murderous  thievery  in  Naboth's  vineyard! 

By  deed  disroyal,  king  in  name  alone, 

With  one's  crime  staining  a  whole  nation's  skirts 

To  filch  a  people's  birthright:  what  is  this? 

It  is  not  government,  but  sceptred  blight 

Of  anarch  in  the  throne  where  Satan  sits ! 

O  thou  insane  and  suicidal  house, 

Whose  generations  plow  the  field  with  blood 

And  sow  the  teeth  of  dragons,  hast  thou  learned 

Nothing  since  Wallenstein's  banditti-hordes 

Destroyed  the  people  and  devoured  the  land? 

Why  shouldst  thou  lag  on,  pawning  throne  and  honor 

To  faithless  pledges  of  a  Prussian  churl, 

Thy  paltering  fingers  full  of  fatal  sparks 

That  fling  another's  fagots  through  our  peace?

Folly  and  discord  salting  in  the  earth  ?

Barbarous  Berlin,  hate-embruted  mother 

Of  envious  greed's  blind  cubs  who  lust  to  war 

That  makes  man's  heart  a  mourner's  bench,  the  world 

A  funeral  procession,  and  God's  praise 

A  requiem  for  the  dead — unwholesome  Berlin 

Squats  doubtful  by  her  work,  her  sullen  soul 

With  anxious  peering  flat  against  the  pane 

That  lets  so  little  light  in  through  her  flesh. 

No  boisterous  vaunt  now  rumbles  through  the  beer, 
Breathing  the  brawn  whose  bestial  hoof  should  crunch 
All  Europe  in  a  fortnight.    German  boys 
Give  their  frail  dust  to  soils  they  marched  to  steal, 
And  sires  dig  into  death  beside  their  sons, 
While  on  the  emptied  settle,  hearth  by  hearth, 
Famine  and  anguish  sit.    The  city  sighs, 
"What  shall  we  get  by  this  ?    Alas,  how  long, 
How  long  shall  hate  endure  ?     How  long  shall  we 
To  Moloch  cast  our  children?" 

War  is  war, 

The  devil's  dice,  dull  Berlin !    Art  thou  she 
That  drew  the  blade  to  hurl  him  far  beyond 
Thy  borders  ?    Lo,  his  hungry  gleam  returns, 
Insatiable  walks  the  Fatherland, 
Commands  the  strength  of  pride — that  she  who  took 
The  demon  from  his  scabbard,  for  his  wage 
Fall  on  the  edge  and  perish. 

Get  thee  out 

To  Baal's  place  before  the  ugly  god, 
If  so  the  wooden  Hindenburg  will  hear  thee! 
The  form  of  thy  hewn  hopes — pray  unto  him. 
Perchance  he  museth,  or  he  sleepeth,  or 
Is  gone  upon  a  journey :  cry  aloud ! 
Yea,  seize  a  hammer,  and  an  iron  nail 
Spike  through  his  f  ibry  heart,  as  even  he, 
Pounding  thy  children  on  the  Russian  guns, 
Pounds  iron  through  thy  bosom.    Cry  with  tears ! 
Implore  the  pithy  giant,  lest  his  greed

Gorge  cannon-fodder  in  a  blinder  rage, 

With  boot  and  sabre-slash  and  pistol-ball 

Herding  thy  sons  to  slaughter  in  their  pen. 

Why  should  thy  children  shrink,  and  love  their  lives, 

When  golden-laced  ambition  in  the  rear 

Needs  pawns  to  swap  for  gauds  and  sell  for  power  ? 

What  demon  swings  thy  hammer,  fateful  town? 

That  Berlin  in  her  image  and  ideal 

Hath  carved  a  woody  idol  for  a  god 

Doth  it  suffice  not?    Must  she  spike-tax  pay 

To  pound  a  lumbered  likeness  into  iron  ? 

O  is  the  heart  nailed  up,  the  hearing  steeled, 

Save  to  the  hollow  and  monotonous  ring 

Of  forged  excuses  hammering  crooked  lies 

Till  the  whole  beaten  front  of  conscience  wears 

Plate-armor,  unto  right  impervious  ? 

Then  drive  the  nail-prints  deeper,  pitying  God, 
Till  slaughter's  monster  groans  and  cracks  and  splits, 
And  hate's  self -hypnotized  unhuman  thing 
Of  bark  and  iron,  where  a  heart  should  be, 
Comes  reconverted  into  natural  flesh! 

Where  art  thou,  lead-wolf  of  the  bloody  pack? 
Hearest  thou  not  the  Voice  of  Judgment  cry, 
"What  blood  is  this  that  soaks  the  scarlet  earth 
With  dead  hands  crossed  accusing?    Where  are  thou, 
Thou  William  Hohenzollern,  murderer?" 
And  hearest  not  the  angel  crying,  "Lord, 
Behold,  the  craven  hides  behind  a  throne !" 

We  all,  iritic,  straying  pharisees, 

Cry  out,  "Am  I  my  brother's  keeper?"  when 

His  blood  embalms  our  feet.    Assemble  us 

In  spirit  into  Berlin's  gloomy  place 

Around  her  gruesome  image,  none  to  plead, 

"Lo,  I  am  holier  than  thou V'  but  all 

One  blindness  to  confess,  "Our  race  repents 

In  dust  and  ashes,  and  abhors  himself

THE  CITIES 

For  his  coiled  nature's  deft  capacity 
To  organize  a  virus  through  the  blood 
And  mobilize  iniquity  as  right !" 

Create  our  eyes  till  in  their  heart  they  see 
Their  own  sin  in  a  nation's ;  that,  if  Thou 
Must  draft  us  like  the  tribes,  Thy  weeping  rod 
To  judge  our  brother,  Benjamin,  we  go 
The  scourged  of  sorrow,  purged  of  guilty  wrath, 
Twice  hating  in  our  soul  the  self -same  root 
That  in  another's  shame  rebukes  us  more. 

And  to  arise  and  strike,  is  there  no  cause? 
No  need,  where  scheming  slaughter  kills  and  kills, 
To  smite  the  murderer  till  he  drop  his  tool  ? 
Our  brother's  blood  assails  us  from  the  ground, 
Crying  in  earth's  dull  ear,  and  into  heaven's ! 

Where  overwhelming  avalanches  heap 
The  coward  war's  unequal  ambuscades 
The  Montenegrin  eagle  near  her  nest 
Clings  to  her  icy  crag  with  bloody  hands. 

Heroic  Serbia,  fever-orbed,  gaunt-ribbed, 
Unkempt,  bedraggled,  gashed,  dauntless  till  death, 
Giddy  with  breach  of  blood  through  gaping  breast 
And  fury-twisted  thigh,  pants,  crouched  beneath 
The  hairy-thewed  gorilla,  her  right  arm, 
Bony  and  brown,  a  rifle  sighting  still 
Before  her  gleaming  spirit,  her  left  hand's 
Red  quivering  fingers  stretching  vainly  down 
Her  dead  and  crippled  children's  endless  row. 

O  God,  her  thin  knees  get  no  time  to  pray  ; 

But  heart's  hands  fling  them  wildly  up  for  mercy, 

With  wits  bewildered,  guessing  if  her  end 

Or  some  new  lease  of  mangled  life  impend. 

Age-tortured ;  now  no  more :  on  frozen  hills 
The  lone  Armenian  woman  sleeps  in  wrath,

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Her  staring  prayer  with  death's  transcendant  reach 
Transfixing  Thee  from  leaden  balls  of  clay. 
It  is  Thy  clay,  Great  Judge !  it  is  Thy  dead ! 

Bend  down  to  this  stark  wreck,  O  Christ!  behold 

The  naked  anguish  stretched  in  trampled  fields, 

The  dead  face  of  a  people,  crucified 

On  cross  of  their  own  country,  like  a  kid 

Seethed  in  her  mother's  milk;  enshrouded  white 

In  Thine  accusing  starlight ;  grim  in  day, 

Splotched,  sunken,  ghastly,  hoof-pocked!   Eyes  of  God, 

Whose  anger  melts  with  pitying  us,  behold 

Thy  Belgian  handmaid  sopped  in  pools  of  blood, 

Raped,  slandered,  mutilated,  gone — unless 

The  Resurrection  and  The  Life  her  bier 

Touch  with  commanding,  "Lifeless  sorrow,  rise!" 

We  all  have  shorn  Thy  glory ;  whom  hath  not 
Our  maniacal  greed  of  nations  smirched  ? 
We  all  go  tarred;  yet  our  age-hardened  guilt's 
Most  brazen  wont  of  sinning  shuddering  shrinks 
Into  abysmal  horror  to  have  seen 
This  land's  lascivious  murder  by  damned  hordes 
Of  drunkards  reeling  out  of  slums  of  hell ! 

We,  dulled  in  dour  transgression,  know  not  how 

To  pray,  nor  what  to  pray  for,  as  we  ought ; 

But  watch  if  Mercy  with  cherubic  sword — 

While  murder  lessons  at  no  school  but  death's — 

Pitch  Turk  and  Teuton  down  to  Tartarus, 

Where  killing-counselling  tongues  their  tempers  calm, 

Assuaged  in  torment,  willing  to  be  cool, 

Till  slaughter,  horror-glutted,  sweating  fear, 

Like  one  that  meets  hell  in  a  vision,  swoons, 

And  dizzy  weapons  slip  the  unnerved  touch 

Of  chastened  remnants  that  recovered  sit 

Clothed  in  a  right  mind  in  their  trembling  states. 

Mercy,  O  Lord!  we  fail,  we  faint!  hell's  leech 
Hath  over-lanced  the  apoplectic  earth !

THE  CITIES 

Shall  this  mad  surgeon  prick  against  our  boss, 
As  multitudinous  moths  assault  the  flame, 
Till  crime  self-expiates  in  suicide, 
With  every  German  malefactor,  boy, 
Old  man,  self -executed  on  our  guns? 

We  all  have  sinned,  and,  judging,  damn  ourselves; 

Yet  pray  for  armored  mercy,  victory-plumed : 

The  valiant  impact  of  angelic  mace, 

Like  sun  on  mists  of  mountains,  breaching  pride, 

And  hope  a  blood-way  hewing  through  the  plague 

Whose  death-damp  curls  around  us.    Canst  Thou  coax 

Repentance  out  of  murder  at  the  kill  ? 

Or  draw  out  guilt's  confession,  sinning?    Wring 

His  grief  out  who  unsheathed  this  war,  or  else 

Expunge  the  royal  bully  from  the  throne, 

And  mimic  bullies  out  of  aping  halls 

That  tramp  upon  the  peoples  and  insult 

Manhood  and  womanhood  with  poltroon  swords! 

Enthrone  Thine  anger  on  all  reckless  blades, 

And  let  not  lawlessness  retain  one  prize. 

The  Prussian  bloodhound's  jowl,  that  erstwhile  tore 

At  Poland,  Denmark,  Austria,  and  France, 

And,  rampant  madness  in  the  earth,  infests 

Four  crowns  with  rabies,  all  mankind  would  gnash, 

Drive  hydrophobic,  and  a  howling  wild 

Stark  canine  make  the  habitable  world — 

Rebuke  with  indignation,  muzzle,  cow, 

And  back  to  kennel  thrust  on  limping  shank! 

Pardon  our  jagged  wrath,  the  foolish  word: 
Self-judgment's  stranger,  shall  our  frailty  know, 
Standing  between  the  living  and  the  dead, 
How  to  be  angry  and  yet  sin  not  ?  Lord, 
Inspire  a  prayer  that  will  Thy  power  persuade 
To  hang  Thy  hook  in  ruthless  Prussia's  jaw, 
To  torment  bind  her  spirit,  her  self-will 
Give  mocking  spectres  of  the  peace  she  slew, 
Hate  churning  in  the  pit  she  digged  until 
Comes  love's  soul  broken  into  righteousness !

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

The  ravening  tooth  that  once  starved  Paris  cries 

For  black-bread;  the  blood-letting  wolf  that  stole 

From  Holstein  to  the  Russ,  her  red  strength  wan, 

Licks  bony  graybeard  and  thin  riffraff  up 

To  feed  the  bellies  of  constricting  guns 

Coiled  hissing,  forked  tongues  preened  to  sting  her  heart. 

Hast  Thou  her  craze  a  lying  spirit  sent 

With  guilty  prophseyings  luring  on 

Till  anguish  loan  her  all  his  purse  to  pay, 

To  wrath's  last  interest  mark,  her  old  crimes'  debt? — 

To  struggle,  deaf  and  blind,  till  hope's  last  thew 

With  wrench  to  uttermost  exhaustion  cracks, 

The  wrecked  Teutonic  body  quivering  through 

Nervous  prostration  into  race-collapse, 

Like  the  stout  buttress  of  a  bridge  that  strains 

Until  an  ounce  betray  it,  full  of  freight, 

Or  as  a  giant  torso's  awful  steps, 

After  the  head  drops  gory,  totter  still, 

The  supernatural  horror  pitching  down 

Into  mortality  surpassing  death  ? 

What  consummation  supplicate  we,  Lord, 

With  pride  toward  pride  and  heart  of  hate  to  hate? 

If  Thou  shouldst  sell  him  to  our  hands  would  we 

Humble  our  brother  to  the  bitter  dust? 

Though  Benjamin  dig  our  pit,  yet  have  we  all 

Not  sold  our  brother,  Joseph  ?  Shall  our  wrath, 

Mercy-bejeweled,  set  in  mercy  more 

Of  judgment  given  us,  no  mercy  use, 

But  braze  Thy  help  to  fall  on  Benjamin 

With  faces  pitiless  as  his  toward  us  ? 

Alas,  O  Lord,  the  thieves  of  yesterday 
Strangle  to-day's  thief  at  the  first  picked  lock. 
Our  deeds  are  pharisees,  and,  lo,  their  ghosts, 
Reincarnated  in  the  wrongs  that  scourge  us, 
Pay  guilt's  instruction  back  with  usury. 

How  crookedly  recrimination  slides 
Out  of  a  covert  of  a  guileful  lip ! 

[450] 


THE  CITIES 

With  what  a  soiled  and  tangled  haste  our  sin 
Assaults  the  mimicry  of  his  offense! 
Lord,  bid  propitiating  mercy  swing 
A  cloudy  censer  over  us  that  go 
To  champion  justice,  dragging  blades  unclean, 
Grim-mottled  edges,  blurred  with  unpurged  crimes 
And  nicked  with  piracy's  blood-gotten  gains 
That  we  but  war  to  have  and  hold  who  smite 
The  latest  outlaw  from  our  stolen  fields. 

What  tribe  shall  captain  judgment?    How  unfit 
Our  cleanest  righteousness  to  wield  rebuke ! 
Yet  must  we  go  as  lictors,  or  worse  thieves, — 
For  he  that  hell  waked  cannot  purge  him  of  it, 
Nor  from  his  damned  fingers  loose  the  murder 
Outstetched,  to  kill  or  be  killed,  past  his  bounds. 
His  fall  or  our  fall  batters  at  the  door : 
As  judged  and  judges  Judgment  shuts  us  in! 

Our  brother's  blood  cries :   swords  must  go !  O  let 
Thy  mercy  tabernacle  round  our  guilt 
Whose  crash  at  lawlessness  goes  shivering  through 
His  own  shade  in  a  mirror !   Blades  must  go : 
Though  only  on  the  stroke  of  twelve  fall  light, 
Let  conscience  waken  somewhile.    Brands  must  go 
Though  all  the  crimeful  past  behind  us  rise 
And  bury  all  her  dead  before  the  worlds. 
Abased  self-judgment  bids  our  shamed  steel  go — 
If  Thou  a  heart  abashed  and  chastened  send, 
Lest  still  we  fall  before  our  brother,  or 
From  conquest  issue  more  condemned  than  he. 

Sweet  Mercy,  pity  us  who  sit  at  ease 
At  the  full  table  of  prosperity 
With  surfeit  out  of  golden  fields  and  thrift 
As  bow-and-arrow  makers.    Lord,  have  we 
No  sunny  vineyard  coveted,  no  sod 
Of  Mexico,  Colombia,  or  Spain? 
Conscience  uneasy  stirs,  for  greatest  guilt 
Not  oftenest  sins,  but  most  against  the  light.

O  for  a  consecrating  cherub's  touch 
Our  rusting  blade  to  burnish,  weakness'  knight, 
Its  brother's  keeper,  scoured  too  bright  for  spoil, 
Or  swagger  in  fat  scabbard,  padded  in 
Enlightened  selfishness,  the  devil's  sheath ! 

Mercy  to  judge  bland  peace  and  paunchy  pride, 

Flattered  with  unctuous  and  euphonious  names, 

That  in  an  isolation,  far  from  care, 

With  gainful  opportunity  pass  by, 

Like  priest  and  Levite,  on  the  other  side, 

When  the  whole  world  is  fallen  among  thieves! 

Rolls  war  no  prophet-march  through  Freedom's  soul, 

Haunting  her  sea-shell  with  the  surge  of  doom  ? 

Implore  we  victory  to  fend  our  flesh, 

Bethrottle  murder  and  its  maniac  chain  ? 

And  captive  spirit  shall  no  zealot  free, 

Our  unbelieving  heart's  Amalekite 

Hewing,  as  Samuel  Agag,  before  God? 

Or  shall  our  house,  unaltered,  empty,  swept, 

And  garnished,  call  her  unclean  demon  back 

With  other  seven  devils  worse  than  he  ? 

To  German  reason  shall  we  sell  our  schools, 

Yet  curse  his  logic  in  a  naked  sword  ? 

O  for  a  seraph-ungent  to  make  whole 

Our  folly  when  Germanic  mouthings  stirred 

The  fool  in  us  to  say,  "There  is  no  God !" 

If  beasts  are  we,  from  beasts,  and  there's  no  Throne, 

Nor  law  in  heaven's  likeness  stamped  in  hearts, 

Nor  Voice  instructing  sacrifice  to  serve, 

But  for  existence  madmen  struggle,  brutes 

Whose  least  of  ruth  is  fittest  to  survive, 

Why  should  not  violence  rape  what  he  will, 

And  strength  waylay  the  weak,  as  lions  lambs? 

Impreach,  black  violence,  our  dark  of  sin, 
Till  out  of  woeful  midnight  ebon  rays 
Emerge  with  lightening  and  healing  big:

THE  CITIES 

Till — where  we  brewed  the  hemlock,  toasting  pride 

Out  of  a  shallow  brain-cell's  earthy  stein, 

And  to  the  drugging  of  our  souls  sat  blind, 

Our  sense  deep-holden — hell  inform  our  taste 

How  wines  that  kill  the  soul  without  a  qualm 

Shall  slay  the  body  also,  and  the  world 

Drench  in  a  drunken  sword,  without  God  ruthless ! 

Our  eyes  are  too  much  body,  gross  to  see 
The  tumbled  havoc  of  material  things ; 
But  our  near-sighted  soul  of  vision  squints, 
Though  every  mortal  circumstance,  event, 
And  shape  of  action,  thwart  the  day,  reveals 
A  spirit-shadow  in  the  far-beyond, 
As  sunlight  throws  the  shade  his  form  in  space. 
Our  carnal  darkness  casts  a  spiritual  woe, 
As  earth,  corrupting  light  with  her  black  die, 
Blots  the  sun's  superscription  from  the  moon. 

War's  world-illuming  holocaust  of  hate, — 

Is  it  a  sacrificial  film  thrown  up 

Mirage-like  on  our  sky  to  visualize 

The  swords  of  fallen  angels,  dripping  flame 

Of  demon  doctrines  that  abhor  their  God 

And  leap  upon  us,  rolling  soul  on  soul 

Down  the  steep  cliffs  and  off  the  reeking  plain 

Into  the  pit  of  spirit,  murdering  rest 

With  peace  more  ruinous  than  carnal  war  ? 

Our  staggering  guilt  reels  faint  from  loss  of  blood ; 

And  shall  hope  perish  in  our  stricken  race? 

Earth,  naked  under  long-forgotten  skies, 

Her  demon-strangler  claws  at,  bleeding  hands 

And  agonizing  muscles  wrestling  him, 

While  a  pale  terror  in  her  startled  soul 

Sees  by  the  ghastly  spectral  lights  of  death 

Ghosts  of  a  far-off  infancy  of  faith, 

Dim,  over  tiny  unremembered  graves 

On  wraithy  shimmering  knees,  imploring  God 

To  set  some  memory  of  returning  youth 

To  teach  our  second  childhood  how  to  pray.

With  courage  of  un-selfconcentred  duty, 
Zealous  in  heart  and  strong  of  vision,  now 
When  counsel  darkens  and  the  world's  awry? 
Or  must  our  brows  weave  frontlets  of  the  shame 
Of  slaves  self -auctioned  when  set  free  from  men? 

What  panic-cowardice  resolution  shakes 
At  fainting  Europe's  blood-let,  gold-let  body  ? 
What  masters  shall  our  shells  and  turrets  serve? 
Insatiable  self-seeking  and  old  gold? 
Preparedness?    God  knows  how  duty  needs 
Preparedness  against  her  curse  of  self ! 

Arm  we  to  fling  the  earth-oppresser  warning,

Or  arm  we  crooked  champions  to  rebuke? —

Shall  heaven  draft  the  devil  to  fight  hell  ? 

Serve  ye  God's  righteousness,  or  man's  torn  ends  ?

Judge  lawlessness  and  not  receive  it  in 

Hypocrisy's  false-balanced  choice  of  evils?"

Truth,  righteousness,  compassion,  succor,  peace;

Or  let  our  hearts  forever  dip  in  shame ! 
Is  wolf-pack  violence  in  a  nation's  howl 
Less  outlaw  than  her  cub  in  one  man's  deed? 
Not  first,  Americans ;  but  firstly  men, 
A  commonwealth  of  human  blood  and  kin 
Our  freedom  guarding  free  to  serve  mankind ! 

Our  blade  should  say  to  brazen  war,  "Beware 

Of  hard  exaction  in  a  world  a-woe 

Where  implicated  griefs  of  every  tongue 

Join  hue  and  cry  at  godless  armaments 

That  drag  our  causes  to  the  mobs  of  hell, 

Destruction,  hate,  and  slaughter,  traitoring  power 

The  mien  of  justice  to  pervert  and  wrest 

To  f rightfulness  and  terror !    Wring  no  more 

Blood-tax  of  anguish  out  of  souls  of  men ! 

Set  up  a  righteous  pact :  our  brand  shall  be 

No  silent  partner  in  a  cruel  peace 

That  piles  the  fagots  of  another  blaze ! 

Compose  our  burdens  in  a  League  of  Right 

Where  linking  swords  swear  faith  to  Judging  Law 

Whose  scales  redress  the  wrongs  that  vex  God's  truce. 

If  Law  ye  love  not,  we  against  your  feuds 

To  have  and  hold  shall  plume  our  stars  with  Right, 

Our  riches  melting  into  ships  and  guns 

To  shine,  a  righteous  angel,  o'er  the  world!" 

O  Justice,  light  our  pharisaic  earth 

Where  anarch's  hut  and  king's  house,  rubbing  eaves, 

Rail  each  his  perilous  neighbor's  lawless  will ! 

Where  itching  democrat  and  oligarch 

Shock  one  another's  grasping !  where  war  buys 

New  balance  of  old  masters,  hoary  greed 

Removing  landmarks  with  old  crooked  sword ! 

This  smarting  globe  reprieve  not  till  she  fix, 
In  nation,  monarch,  people,  law,  and  gun, 
One  bound  for  freedom, — man's  whole  liberty, 
The  right  to  do  right,  since  with  lordship  more 
Not  even  Omnipotence  begems  His  crown, 
But  only  Satan  in  a  kingdom  dark.

Bid  Thou  our  anguish  travail  till  from  war, 
The  womb  of  trouble,  a  white  babe  is  born, 
The  soul  of  penitential  nations,  cast 
A  wailing  sorrow  on  the  coast  of  life, 
The  infant  of  tired  earth's  decline,  the  hope 
Of  our  old  age,  weak  failure's  final  test 
Ere  Aaron's  Rod  rebud ;  to  knight  our  swords 
The  new  Round  Table  of  a  Nation's  Court 
To  arbitrate  the  seas,  the  continents 
Give  world-law,  and  the  orb  of  empire  teach 
Respect  to  every  rood  of  freedom's  right 
On  pain  of  ban  and  cursing  from  the  camp, 
An  outlaw  to  be  stoned  with  branded  Cain. 

Shadow  in  cherubim  our  latter  end: 
When  hope  falls  wracked,  her  stretched  experience 
Snapped  clean  back  from  the  universal  rim, 
Her  trusted  weapons  of  deliverance 
Seized  into  yokes  to  subjugate  her  neck, — 
Wind  up  Thy  patience  in  a  sealed-up  scroll, 
And,  while  the  flying  firmament  goes  wrapped 
In  sackcloth,  and  the  stars  their  sockets  quit, 
Thy  pent-up  War-Cry  of  the  Ages  loose 
To  prick  the  nations  with  a  two-edged  sword 
Out  of  the  Mouth  of  Judgment,  into  shards 
Breaking  the  islands  like  a  potter's  bowl 
Till  earth,  replenished  out  of  quivering  chips, 
Sits  in  a  kingdom  purged  by  burning  wrath 
Where  Mercy's  rod  of  iron  shepherds  peace ! 

So  do,  if  we  repent  not !  Better  'twere 

That  man  should  perish,  and  the  mournful  earth

THE  HONORABLE  ROBERT  LANSING 

Secretary  of  State  of  the  United  States 

|  R.  PRESIDENT  and  Gentlemen  of  the  Congress  : 

It  is  an  especial  gratification  to  me  to  address  you 
today,  not  only  as  the  officer  of  the  United  States 
who  invited  you  to  attend  this  great  Scientific  Con- 
gress of  the  American  Republics,  but  also  as  the  pre- 
siding member  of  the  Governing  Board  of  the  Pan- 
American  Union.  In  this  dual  capacity  I  have  the  honor  and  pleasure 
to  welcome  you,  gentlemen,  to  the  capital  of  this  country,  in  the  full 
confidence  that  your  deliberations  will  be  of  mutual  benefit  in  your 
various  spheres  of  thought  and  research,  and  not  only  in  your  individ- 
ual spheres  but  in  the  all-embracing  sphere  of  Pan-American  unity  and 
fraternity  which  is  so  near  to  the  hearts  of  us  all. 

It  is  the  Pan-American  spirit  and  the  policy  of  Pan-  Americanism 
to  which  I  would  for  a  few  moments  direct  your  attention  at  this  early 
meeting  of  the  Congress,  since  it  is  my  earnest  hope  that  "Pan-Amer- 
ica" will  be  the  keynote  which  will  influence  your  relations  with  one 
another  and  inspire  your  thoughts  and  words. 

Nearly  a  century  has  passed  since  President  Monroe  proclaimed 
to  the  world  his  famous  doctrine  as  the  national  policy  of  the  United 
States.  It  was  founded  on  the  principle  that  the  safety  of  this  Republic 
would  be  imperiled  by  the  extension  of  sovereign  rights  by  a  European 
power  over  territory  in  this  hemisphere.  Conceived  in  a  suspicion  of 
monarchial  institutions  and  in  full  sympathy  with  the  republican  idea, 
it  was  uttered  at  a  time  when  our  neighbors  to  the  south  had  won  their 
independence  and  were  gradually  adapting  themselves  to  the  exercise 
of  their  newly  acquired  rights.  To  those  struggling  nations  the  doc- 
trine became  a  shield  against  the  great  European  powers,  which  in  the 

[457] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

spirit  of  the  age  coveted  political  control  over  the  rich  regions  which 
the  new-born  States  had  made  their  own. 

The  United  States  was  then  a  small  nation,  but  a  nation  which 
had  been  tried  in  the  fire;  a  nation  whose  indomitable  will  had  re- 
mained unshaken  by  the  dangers  through  which  it  had  passed.  The 
announcement  of  the  Monroe  Doctrine  was  a  manifestation  of  this 
will.  It  was  a  courageous  thing  for  President  Monroe  to  do.  It  meant 
much  in  those  early  days,  not  only  to  this  country  but  to  those  nations 
which  were  commencing  a  new  life  under  the  standard  of  liberty. 
How  much  it  meant  we  can  never  know,  since  for  four  decades  it  re- 
mained unchallenged. 

During  that  period  the  younger  Republics  of  America,  giving  ex- 
pression to  the  virile  spirit  born  of  independence  anl  liberal  institu- 
tions, developed  rapidly  and  set  their  feet  firmly  on  the  path  of  national 
progress  which  has  led  them  to  that  plane  of  intellectual  and  material 
prosperity  which  they  today  enjoy. 

Within  recent  years  the  Government  of  the  United  States  has 
found  no  occasion,  with  the  exception  of  the  Venezuela  boundary  inci- 
dent, to  remind  Europe  that  the  Monroe  Doctrine  continues  unaltered 
a  national  policy  of  this  Republic.  The  Republics  of  America  are  no 
longer  children  in  the  great  family  of  nations.  They  have  attained 
maturity.  With  enterprise  and  patriotic  fervor  they  are  working  out 
their  several  destinies. 

During  this  later  time,  when  the  American  nations  have  come 
into  a  realization  of  their  nationality  and  are  fully  conscious  of  the 
responsibilities  and  privileges  which  are  theirs  as  sovereign  and  inde- 
pendent States,  there  has  grown  up  a  feeling  that  the  Republics  of  this 
hemisphere  constitute  a  group  separate  and  apart  from  the  other  na- 
tions of  the  world,  a  group  which  is  united  by  common  ideals  and  com- 
mon aspirations.  I  believe  that  this  feeling  is  general  throughout 
North  and  South  America,  and  that  year  by  year  it  has  increased 
until  it  has  become  a  potent  influence  over  our  political  and  commer- 
cial intercourse.  It  is  the  same  feeling  which,  founded  on  sympathy 
and  mutual  interest,  exists  among  the  members  of  a  family.  It  is  the 
tie  which  draws  together  the  twenty-one  Republics  and  makes  of  them 
the  American  Family  of  Nations. 

This  feeling,  vague  at  first,  has  become  today  a  definite  and  cer- 
tain force.  We  term  it  the  "Pan-American  spirit,"  from  which 
springs  the  international  policy  of  Pan-Americanism.  It  is  that  policy 
which  is  responsible  for  this  great  gathering  of  distinguished  men, 

[458] 


ONE  FOR  ALL,  ALL  FOR  ONE 

who  represent  the  best  and  most  advanced  thought  of  the  Americas. 
It  is  a  policy  which  this  Government  has  unhesitatingly  adopted  and 
which  it  will  do  all  in  its  power  to  foster  and  promote. 

When  we  attempt  to  analyze  Pan-Americanism  we  find  that  the 
essential  qualities  are  those  of  the  family — sympathy,  helpfulness  and 
a  sincere  desire  to  see  another  grow  in  prosperity,  absence  of  covet- 
ousness  of  another's  possessions,  absence  of  jealousy  of  another's 
prominence,  and,  above  all,  absence  of  that  spirit  of  intrigue  which 
menaces  the  domestic  peace  of  a  neighbor.  Such  are  the  qualities  of 
the  family  tie  among  individuals,  and  such  should  be,  and  I  believe  are, 
the  qualities  which  compose  the  tie  which  unites  the  American  Family 
of  Nations. 

I  speak  only  for  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  but  in 
doing  so  I  am  sure  that  I  express  sentiments  which  will  find  an  echo 
in  every  Republic  represented  here,  when  I  say  that  the  might  of  this 
country  will  never  be  exercised  in  a  spirit  of  greed  to  wrest  from  a 
neighboring  state  its  territory  or  possessions.  The  ambitions  of  this 
Republic  do  not  lie  in  the  path  of  conquest  but  in  the  paths  of  peace 
and  justice.  Whenever  and  wherever  we  can  we  will  stretch  forth  a 
hand  to  those  who  need  help.  If  the  sovereignty  of  a  sister  Republic 
is  menaced  from  overseas,  the  power  of  the  United  States  and,  I  hope 
and  believe,  the  united  power  of  the  American  Republics  will  consti- 
tute a  bulwark  which  will  protect  the  independence  and  integrity  of 
their  neighbor  from  unjust  invasion  or  aggression.  The  American 
Family  of  Nations  might  well  take  for  its  motto  that  of  Dumas'  famous 
musketeers,  "One  for  all ;  all  for  one." 

If  I  have  correctly  interpreted  Pan- Americanism  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  relations  of  our  Governments  with  those  beyond  the  seas, 
it  is  in  entire  harmony  with  the  Monroe  Doctrine.  The  Monroe  Doc- 
trine is  a  national  policy  of  the  United  States ;  Pan- Americanism  is  an 
international  policy  of  the  Americas.  The  motives  are  to  an  extent 
different,  the  ends  sought  are  the  same.  Both  can  exist  without  im- 
pairing the  force  of  either.  And  both  do  exist  and,  I  trust,  will  ever 
exist  in  all  their  vigor. 

But  Pan-Americanism  extends  beyond  the  sphere  of  politics  and 
finds  its  application  in  the  varied  fields  of  human  enterprise.  Bear- 
ing in  mind  that  the  essential  idea  manifests  itself  in  cooperation,  it 
becomes  necessary  for  effective  cooperation  that  we  should  know  each 
other  better  than  we  do  now.  We  must  not  only  be  neighbors,  but 
friends ;  not  only  friends,  but  intimates.  We  must  understand  one  an- 

[459] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

other.  We  must  comprehend  our  several  needs.  We  must  study  the 
phases  of  material  and  intellectual  development  which  enter  into  the 
varied  problems  of  national  progress.  We  should,  therefore,  when 
opportunity  offers,  come  together  and  familiarize  ourselves  with  each 
other's  processes  of  thought  in  dealing  with  legal,  economic,  and  edu- 
cational questions. 

Commerce  and  industry,  science  and  art,  public  and  private  law, 
government  and  education,  all  those  great  fields  which  invite  the  in- 
tellectual thought  of  man,  fall  within  the  province  of  the  deliberations 
of  this  Congress.  In  the  exchange  of  ideas  and  comparison  of  ex- 
periences we  will  come  to  know  one  another  and  to  carry  to  the  nations 
which  we  represent  a  better  and  truer  knowledge  of  our  neighbors 
than  we  have  had  in  the  past.  I  believe  that  from  that  wider  knowl- 
edge a  mutual  esteem  and  trust  will  spring  which  will  unite  these  Re- 
publics more  closely  politically,  commercially,  and  intellectually,  and 
will  give  to  the  Pan-American  spirit  an  impulse  and  power  which  it 
has  never  known  before. 

The  present  epoch  is  one  which  must  bring  home  to  every  think- 
ing American  the  wonderful  benefits  to  be  gained  by  trusting  our 
neighbors  and  by  being  trusted  by  them,  by  cooperation  and  helpful- 
ness, by  a  dignified  regard  for  the  rights  of  all,  and  by  living  our  na- 
tional lives  in  harmony  and  good  will. 

Across  the  thousands  of  miles  of  the  Atlantic  we  see  Europe 
convulsed  with  the  most  terrible  conflict  which  this  world  has  ever 
witnessed;  we  see  the  manhood  of  these  great  nations  shattered,  their 
homes  ruined,  their  productive  energies  devoted  to  the  one  purpose  of 
destroying  their  fellowmen.  When  we  contemplate  the  untold  misery 
which  these  once  happy  people  are  enduring  and  the  heritage  which 
they  are  transmitting  to  succeeding  generations,  we  can  not  but  con- 
trast a  continent  at  war  and  a  continent  at  peace.  The  spectacle  teaches 
a  lesson  we  cannot  ignore. 

If  we  seek  the  dominant  ideas  in  world  politics  since  we  became 
independent  nations,  we  will  find  that  we  won  our  liberties  when  in- 
dividualism" absorbed  men's  thoughts  and  inspired  their  deeds.  This 
idea  was  gradually  supplanted  by  that  of  nationalism,  which  found 
expression  in  the  ambitions  of  conquest  and  the  greed  for  territory 
so  manifest  in  the  nineteenth  century.  Following  the  impulse  of  na- 
tionalism the  idea  of  internationalism  began  to  develop.  It  appeared 
to  be  an  increasing  influence  throughout  the  civilized  world,  when  the 
present  war  of  Empires,  that  great  manifestation  of  nationalism,  stayed 

[460] 


ONE  FOR  ALL,  ALL  FOR  ONE 

its  progress  in  Europe  and  brought  discouragement  to  those  who  had 
hoped  that  the  new  idea  would  usher  in  an  era  of  universal  peace  and 
justice. 

While  we  are  not  actual  participants  in  the  momentous  struggle 
which  is  shattering  the  ideals  toward  which  civilization  was  moving 
and  is  breaking  down  those  principles  on  which  internationalism  is 
founded,  we  stand  as  anxious  spectators  of  this  most  terrible  example 
of  nationalism.  Let  us  hope  that  it  is  the  final  outburst  of  the  cardinal 
evils  of  that  idea  which  has  for  nearly  a  century  spread  its  baleful  in- 
fluence over  the  world. 

Pan- Americanism  is  an  expression  of  the  idea  of  international- 
ism. America  has  become  the  guardian  of  that  idea,  which  will  in  the 
end  rule  the  world.  Pan- Americanism  is  the  most  advanced  as  well  as 
the  most  practical  form  of  that  idea.  It  has  been  made  possible  be- 
cause of  our  geographical  isolation,  of  our  similar  political  institutions, 
and  of  our  common  conception  of  human  rights.  Since  the  European 
war  began  other  factors  have  strengthened  this  natural  bond  and  given 
impulse  to  the  movement.  Never  before  have  our  people  so  fully  real- 
ized the  significance  of  the  words,  "Peace"  and  "Fraternity."  Never 
have  the  need  and  benefit  of  international  cooperation  in  every  form 
of  human  activity  been  so  evident  as  they  are  to-day. 

The  path  of  opportunity  lies  plain  before  us  Americans.  The  gov- 
ernment and  people  of  every  Republic  should  strive  to  inspire  in  others 
confidence  and  cooperation  by  exhibiting  integrity  of  purpose  and 
equity  in  action.  Let  us  as  members  of  this  Congress,  therefore,  meet 
together  on  the  plan  of  common  interests  and  together  seek  the  com- 
mon good.  Whatever  is  of  common  interest,  whatever  makes  for  the 
common  good,  whatever  demands  united  effort  is  a  fit  subject  for  ap- 
plied Pan-Americanism.  Fraternal  helpfulness  is  the  keystone  to  the 
arch.  Its  pillars  are  faith  and  justice. 

In  this  great  movement  this  Congress  will,  I  believe,  play  an  ex- 
alted part.  You,  gentlemen,  represent  powerful  intellectual  forces  in 
your  respective  countries.  Together  you  represent  the  enlightened 
thought  of  the  continent.  The  policy  of  Pan- Americanism  is  practical. 
The  Pan-American  spirit  is  ideal.  It  finds  its  source  and  being  in  the 
minds  of  thinking  men.  It  is  the  offspring  of  the  best,  the  noblest  con- 
ception of  international  obligation. 

With  all  earnestness,  therefore,  I  commend  to  you,  gentlemen,  the 
thought  of  the  American  Republics,  twenty-one  sovereign  and  inde-

pendent  nations,  bound  together  by  faith  and  justice,  and  firmly  ce- 
mented by  a  sympathy  which  knows  no  superior,  but  which  recognizes 
only  equality  and  fraternity.

THE  HONORABLE  JOHN  BARRETT 

Director-General  of  The  Pan  American  Union 

HIS  Pan  American  Congress  may  prove  to  be  the  most 
important  Pan  American  gathering  that  has  been  held 
in  the  history  of  the  American  Republics.  It  has  come 
at  a  critical  time  in  the  world  development,  and  the 
eventual  practical  results  which  should  follow  its  delib- 
erations and  conclusions  may  determine  the  sovereign 
integrity  and  actual  life  of  all  the  American  Republics.  The  spirit  of 
fraternity,  solidarity,  and  common  interest,  which  is  inspiring  all  the 
delegations  that  are  here  assembled  is  giving  a  meaning  to  Pan  Ameri- 
canism which  all  the  nations  must  forever  hereafter  respect.  While 
there  is  nothing  in  the  world  or  spirit  of  this  Congress  which  is  in  any 
way  antagonistic  to  Europe,  it  will  be  unquestionably  a  most  powerful 
factor  in  cementing  that  new  relationship  of  mutual  interest  and  inter- 
dependence which  has  been  growing  with  great  rapidity  in  the  last 
few  years,  and  especially  since  the  outbreak  of  the  European  war. 

In  the  minds  and  thoughts  of  everybody  interested  in  Pan  Ameri- 
canism is  the  question:  What  is  going  to  happen  to  Pan  America 
when  this  war  is  over?  Immediately  and  instinctively  there  is  the 
reply :  The  American  Republics  must  stand  together  for  the  eventu- 
alities that  may  possibly  develop. 

While  everyone  would  deplore  any  agitation  or  suggestion  that  a 
European  nation  or  a  group  of  European  nations,  following  this  strug- 
gle, should  undertake  any  territorial  aggrandizement  in  the  Western 

[463] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Hemisphere,  or  in  any  way  take  action  that  would  contravene  the 
Monroe  Doctrine,  it  must  be  borne  in  mind  and  can  not  be  for  a  mo- 
ment overlooked  that  whatever  way  this  war  results  there  may  be  lit- 
tle or  no  love  for  the  United  States  and  the  other  nations  which  form 
Pan  America.  Whichever  group  of  nations  wins  in  this  mighty  combat 
will  say  that  it  won  in  spite  of  the  attitude  of  the  United  States  and 
the  other  American  Republics.  Whichever  side  loses  will  say  that  it 
lost  because  of  the  attitude  of  the  United  States  and  its  sister  Ameri- 
can Republics. 

No  matter,  therefore,  how  just  and  fair  the  nations  of  America 
may  have  been  in  their  efforts  to  preserve  their  neutrality  and  in  no 
way  interfere  on  either  side  of  this  conflict,  the  war  passions  and  the 
war  power  of  the  peoples  and  the  Governments  of  the  victorious  group 
of  nations  may  force  a  policy  toward  Pan  Americanism,  toward  the 
Monroe  Doctrine,  and  toward  their  relationship  with  individual  coun- 
tries of  the  Western  Hemisphere,  which  will  demand  absolute  solidar- 
ity of  action  on  the  part  of  the  American  Republics  to  preserve  their 
very  integrity. 

In  the  light  of  this  terrible,  though  regrettable,  possibility,  one 
supreme  thought  stands  out,  and  that  is :  If  a  foreign  foe  were  to  suc- 
ceed in  destroying  the  sovereignty  of  the  United  States,  it  would  only 
be  a  question  of  time  when  that  foe  would  destroy  the  sovereignty  of 
every  other  American  Republic.  In  turn,  there  is  no  doubt  whatever 
that  if  any  foreign  foe  ever  succeeded  in  extending  its  dominion  over 
a  considerable  part  of  Latin  America,  and  if  the  nations  of  Latin 
America  should  become  dependencies,  it  would  inevitably  follow  that 
the  United  States  would  meet  the  same  fate,  because  no  foreign  foe 
could  achieve  such  a  result  except  by  victory  over  the  United  States. 

All  Pan  America  will  therefore  rejoice  if  this  conference  shall 
give  the  inspiration,  though  it  may  not  be  able  to  write  the  act,  because 
it  is  not  a  political  gathering,  for  the  actual  evolution  of  the  Monroe 
Doctrine  into  a  Pan  American  doctrine,  which  will  mean  that  the  Latin 
American  Republics,  in  the  event  the  United  States  were  attacked 
by  the  foreign  foe,  would,  with  all  their  physical  and  moral  force, 
stand  for  the  the  protection  and  sovereignty  of  the  United  States  just 
as  quickly  as  the  United  States,  under  corresponding  circumstances, 
would  stand  for  their  sovereignty  and  integrity.  With  such  a  Pan 
American  doctrine  recognized  and  approved  by  all  the  American  Re- 
publics, there  would  be  no  danger  for  the  sovereignty  and  peace  of 
Pan  America,  and  the  greatest  step  possible  for  practical  peace  among 
all  nations  would  be  achieved.

BY 
HEMAN  C.  SMITH 

Authorized  Historian  of  the  Reorganized  Church  of 

Jesus  Christ  of  the  Latter  Day  Saints;  Editor  of  The 

Journal  of  History,  Lamoni,  Iowa;  a  Vice-President  of 

The  National  Historical  Society 

HE  FOLLOWING  article  presents  a  very  interesting 
historical  account  of  the  dramatic  events  and  perilous 
experiences  connected  with  the  early  appearance  of  the 
Latter  Day  Saints  successively  in  the  States  of  New 
York,  Ohio,  Missouri,  Illinois,  and  Iowa.  It  has  been 
prepared  by  the  official  Historian  of  the  Church  or- 
ganization with  headquarters  at  Lamoni,  and  therefore  gives 
an  authoritative  narration  of  its  rise  and  development.  Special 
interest  appears  in  this  account  of  the  history  and  views  of  a  people 
who  very  often  have  not  been  distinguished  by  the  general  public  from 
the  Latter  Day  Saints  with  headquarters  at  Salt  Lake  City. 

The  Editors  of  The  Journal  of  American  History  consider  this 
article  an  important  study  in  the  history  of  the  Middle  West  of  the 
United  States,  a  considerable  part  of  whose  settlement  was  due  to 
or  connected  with  the  pioneers  of  the  Latter  Day  Saints.  From  this 
view-point,  the  record  of  their  early  difficulties  and  achievements, 
together  with  the  statement  of  the  convictions  which  influenced  their 
settlement  of  the  Middle  West,  possesses  a  decided  value  to  all  students 
of  American  history.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

|HIS  ORGANIZATION  had  its  origin  April  6,  1830,  at 
Fayette,  Seneca  County,  New  York.  Its  charter  mem- 
bers were  only  six  in  number,  viz. :  Joseph  Smith,  Oli- 
ver Cowdery,  Hyrum  Smith,  David  Whitmer,  Samuel 
H.  Smith,  and  Peter  Whitmer,  Junior,  each  of  them 
under  thirty  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  the  organi- 
zation. 

The  Smiths  and  Cowdery  were  of  old  New  England  colonial  fam- 
ilies. The  Smiths  were  descended  from  Robert  Smith,  who  came  from 
England  and  settled  at  Topsfield,  Massachusetts,  in  1638.  These  three 
brothers  were  of  the  sixth  generation,  inclusive,  from  Robert,  and 
Cowdery  was  of  the  seventh  generation  from  William  Cowdery,  of 
the  family  of  Lord  Cowdery  of  England,  who  settled  near  Lynn,  Mas- 
sachusetts, about  the  same  time  that  Robert  Smith  came  to  America. 
The  Whitmers  were  from  a  German  family,  who  settled  in  an 
early  day  near  Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania,  and  subsequently  the  father 
of  these  two  brothers,  Peter  Whitmer,  Senior,  removed  to  New  York. 
All  of  these  families  were  of  high  respectability  as  far  back  as  records 
trace  them,  and  their  records  indicate  their  prominence  in  civil  and 
military  service. 

The  organization  established  by  these  six  young  men  was  pecu- 
liar in  this,  that  they  claimed  more  direct  communication  from  God 
than  the  reformers  had  done,  and,  as  a  result  of  this  inspiration, 
they  provided  for  an  organization  after  the  ancient  order,  with  apos- 
tles, seventies,  prophets,  evangelists,  bishops,  pastors,  teachers,  dea- 
cons, and  other  officers,  some  to  look  after  the  general  interests  of 
the  church  and  some  to  attend  to  the  local  demands,  but  all  to  teach 
the  gospel  principles  taught  by  ancient  apostles  and  saints,  vis. :  faith, 
repentance,  baptisms,  laying  on  of  hands,  resurrection  of  the  dead 
and  eternal  judgment,  and  all  other  principles  growing  out  of  or  apper- 
taining to  these. 

Among  other  divine  revelations  or  manifestations  which  Joseph 
Smith  claimed  to  receive  were  angelic  visitations  and  manifestations 
commencing  as  early  as  1820  when  he  was  in  his  fifteenth  year. 
Through  these  manifestations  he  was  made  acquainted  with  the  fact 
that  in  a  hill  near  the  home  of  his  father,  a  few  miles  south  of  Palmyra, 
New  York,  were  hidden  some  gold  plates  upon  which  were  engraven 
the  historical  and  doctrinal  records  of  the  prehistoric  nations  of  Amer- 
ica. Finally  he  was  permitted  to  remove  these  plates  from  their  rest- 
ing place  in  what  was  called  the  Hill  Cumorah,  where  they  had  lain

since  about  420  A.  D.  He  was  permitted  to  obtain  possession  of  these 
plates,  and  by  the  power  of  God,  as  believed,  he  was  enabled  through 
the  ancient  instrument  of  the  "Urim  and  Thummim,"  found  with  the 
plates,  to  translate  the  engravings  into  the  English  language,  and  pub- 
lish them  in  1829  in  book  form  called  the  "Book  of  Mormon."  After 
the  translation  and  before  the  publication,  three  others  bore  testimony 
as  follows: 

"Be  it  known  unto  all  nations,  kindreds,  tongues,  and  people,  unto 
whom  this  work  shall  come,  that  we,  through  the  grace  of  God  the 
Father,  and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  have  seen  the  plates  which  contain 
this  record,  which  is  a  record  of  the  people  of  Nephi,  and  also  of  the 
Lamanites,  their  brethren,  and  also  of  the  people  of  Jared,  who  came 
from  the  tower  of  which  hath  been  spoken;  and  we  also  know  that 
they  have  been  translated  by  the  gift  and  power  of  God,  for  his  voice 
hath  declared  it  unto  us;  wherefore  we  know  of  a  surety,  that  the 
work  is  true.  And  we  also  testify  that  we  have  seen  the  engravings 
which  are  upon  the  plates ;  and  they  have  been  shewn  unto  us  by  the 
power  of  God,  and  not  of  man.  And  we  declare  with  words  of  sober- 
ness, that  an  angel  of  God  came  down  from  heaven,  and  he  brought 
and  laid  before  our  eyes,  that  we  beheld  and  saw  the  plates,  and  the 
engravings  thereon;  and  we  know  that  it  is  by  the  grace  of  God  the 
Father,  and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  we  beheld  and  bear  record 
that  these  things  are  true ;  and  it  is  marvelous  in  our  eyes,  nevertheless, 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  commanded  us  that  we  should  bear  record  of  it ; 
wherefore,  to  be  obedient  unto  the  commandments  of  God,  we  bear 
testimony  of  these  things.  And  we  know  that  if  we  are  faithful  in 
Christ,  we  shall  rid  our  garments  of  the  blood  of  all  men,  and  be  found 
spotless  before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ,  and  shall  dwell  with  him 
eternally  in  the  heavens.  And  the  honor  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the 
Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  is  one  God.  Amen.

In  addition  to  this,  Joseph  Smith  showed  the  plates  to  eight  wit- 
nesses whose  testimony  with  the  testimony  of  the  three  was  published 
with  the  first  edition  of  the  book  and  with  every  other  edition  since 
issued. 

The  Book  of  Mormon  purports  to  give  account  of  three  distinct 
colonies,  all  coming  to  the  Western  Continent  from  the  Orient,  the 
first,  in  point  of  time,  at  the  confounding  of  the  languages  at  the

building  of  the  Tower  of  Babel,  another  six  hundred  years  B.  C.,  and 
the  third  at  the  time  Zedekiah,  King  of  Judah,  was  carried  captive  into 
Babylon.  A  very  fair  idea  of  the  claims  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  is 
obtained  from  the  Introduction  published  in  the  book  as  follows : 

"AN  ACCOUNT  WRITTEN  BY  THE  HAND  OF  MORMON 
UPON  PLATES  TAKEN  FROM  THE  PLATES  OF  NEPHI. 

"Wherefore,  it  is  an  abridgment  of  the  record  of  the  people  of 
Nephi,  and  also  of  the  Lamanites ;  written  to  the  Lamanites,  who  are 
a  remnant  of  the  house  of  Israel;  and  also  to  Jew  and  Gentile;  writ- 
ten by  way  of  commandment,  and  also  by  the  spirit  of  prophecy  and 
of  revelation.  Written  and  sealed  up,  and  hid  unto  the  Lord,  that 
they  might  not  be  destroyed;  to  come  forth  by  the  gift  and  power  of 
God  unto  the  interpretation  thereof;  sealed  by  the  hand  of  Moroni, 
and  hid  up  unto  the  Lord,  to  come  forth  in  due  time  by  the  way  of 
Gentile;  the  interpretation  thereof  by  the  gift  of  God. 

"An  abridgment  taken  from  the  Book  of  Ether;  also,  which  is 
a  record  of  the  people  of  Jared;  who  were  scattered  at  the  time  the 
Lord  confounded  the  language  of  the  people,  when  they  were  build- 
ing a  tower  to  get  to  heaven:  which  is  to  shew  unto  the  remnant  of 
the  house  of  Israel  what  great  things  the  Lord  hath  done  for  their 
fathers ;  and  that  they  may  know  the  covenants  of  the  Lord,  that  they 
are  not  cast  off  forever;  and  also  to  the  convincing  of  the  Jew  and 
Gentile  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ,  the  Eternal  God,  manifesting  himself 
unto  all  nations.  And  now  if  there  are  faults,  they  are  the  mistakes 
of  men;  wherefore,  condemn  not  the  things  of  God,  that  ye  may  be 
found  spotless  at  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ." 

The  infant  church  increased  rapidly  until  in  two  months  after 
organization,  it  had  increased  five  hundred  per  cent.,  and  at  the  first 
conference,  in  June,  1830,  there  were  about  thirty  members.  The  in- 
crease continued  with  wonderful  rapidity.  In  September  following,  a 
mission  was  undertaken  to  the  far  west,  with  the  leading  purpose  of 
presenting  the  message  to  the  American  Indians,  or,  as  called  in  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  Lamanites,  and  of  making  them  acquainted  with 
the  Book  of  Mormon,  as  the  record  of  their  fathers,  but  frequently 
presenting  the  message  to  others.  The  members  of  this  commission 
were  Oliver  Cowdery,  Parley  P.  Pratt,  Ziba  Peterson,  and  Peter  Whit- 
mer,  Junior. 

[484] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CHURCH  OF  LATTER  DAY  SAINTS 

In  the  Western  Reserve,  Ohio,  near  Mentor,  they  called  upon  a 
former  friend  of  Pratt's,  a  very  popular  minister  of  the  Disciples 
Church,  Sidney  Rigdon.  At  this  meeting  there  was  presented  to  Mr. 
Rigdon,  for  the  first  time,  a  copy  of  the  Book  of  Mormon,  as  the  evi- 
dence abundantly  shows.  This  shows  the  absolute  absurdity  of  the 
report  which  afterwards  gained  current,  that  Sidney  Rigdon  assisted 
in  getting  up  the  Book  of  Mormon,  using  as  a  basis  the  stolen  manu- 
script of  Solomon  Spalding.  The  Book  had  been  in  print  over  a  year 
before  he  saw  it,  and  before  he  ever  met  an  adherent  of  this  faith. 

At  Mentor,  Kirtland  Mills,  and  vicinity,  were  found  several  men 
who  afterwards  became  prominent  actors  in  the  movement,  among 
whom  were  Sidney  Rigdon  and  Doctor  Frederick  G.  Williams,  who 
subsequently  became  counselors  to  the  President  of  the  Church,  Jo- 
seph Smith,  Orson  Hyde,  Luke  S.  Johnson,  Lyman  E.  Johnson,  John 
F.  Boynton,  and  Lyman  Wight,  who  subsequently  became  members 
of  the  quorum  of  Twelve  Apostles,  and  Edward  Partridge  who  be- 
came the  first  presiding  bishop  of  the  Church. 

Joseph  Smith  and  others  soon  followed  these  missionaries  to 
Kirtland,  Ohio,  and  it  soon  was  recognized  as  the  headquarters  of 
the  church.  Here  the  organization  took  on  a  more  perfect  and  per- 
manent form.  The  first  Presidency  of  three,  the  quorum  of  Twelve 
Apostles,  the  first  quorum  of  Seventy,  the  high  council,  the  presiding 
bishopric,  and  several  other  quorums,  were  formed,  and  a  fine  build- 
ing known  as  the  Kirtland  Temple,  which  still  stands,  was  erected. 

In  the  fall  of  1830  the  four  young  missionaries  who  formed  this 
nucleus,  accompanied  by  Doctor  Frederick  G.  Williams,  moved  on  west- 
ward, and  early  in  1831,  after  much  hardship  incident  to  traveling  on 
foot  through  the  snows  of  a  severe  winter,  arrived  at  Independence, 
Missouri,  and  in  the  vicinity  of  where  Kansas  City  now  stands,  entered 
into  their  mission  among  the  Indians.  They  were  well  received  by 
the  Delaware  and  other  tribes,  but  through  the  opposition  of  mission- 
aries of  other  faiths  their  work  was  interfered  with.  They  returned 
to  Independence  and  from  thence  sent  Mr.  Pratt  of  their  number  back 
to  the  church  in  the  east  to  report  progress.  The  remaining  four 
continued  at  Independence  until  they  were  joined  by  several  of  the 
leading  authorities  of  the  church,  thus  forming  another  nucleus  for 
church  building. 

Here  a  spot  was  dedicated  for  the  future  building  of  the  Temple 
of  Zion.  Members  of  the  church  from  the  east  soon  began  to  gather 

[485] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

to  this  place  in  great  numbers.  These  people  coming  mostly  from  the 
east,  and  being  strongly  in  favor  of  free  schools  and  opposed  to  human 
slavery,  excited  the  enmity  of  the  pioneer  settlers  who  came  mostly 
from  the  slave  states,  especially  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and  Virginia. 
This,  added  to  the  divergence  in  religious  opinions,  caused  friction, 
bitterness,  and  violence.  It  is  too  long  a  story,  and  attended  with  too 
many  complications  to  relate  within  the  limits  of  this  article,  but  it 
resulted  in  the  lawless  element  arising,  organizing,  and  violently  driv- 
ing the  Saints  from  the  County  of  Jackson,  in  the  autumn  of  1833 
and  the  winter  following.  They  took  refuge  in  adjoining  counties, 
principally  in  Clay. 

This  was  too  near  their  old  enemies  of  Jackson  who  lost  no  op- 
portunity to  agitate  the  minds  of  the  people  of  Clay  until  trouble 
arose.  In  1836,  as  a  means  of  bringing  about  better  conditions, 
Honorable  Alexander  W.  Doniphan,  then  a  member  of  the  Missouri 
Legislature,  introduced  a  bill  providing  for  the  organization  of  Cald- 
well  County.  This  bill  was  passed  with  but  little  opposition,  with  the 
tacit  understanding  that  the  church  should  occupy  the  county,  buying 
out  all  the  settlers  who  did  not  care  to  live  among  them,  and  should 
not  settle  in  adjoining  counties  without  the  expressed  consent  of  two- 
thirds  of  the  residents  of  the  township  where  they  desired  to  settle. 

The  Saints  faithfully  carried  out  the  stipulations  of  the  agree- 
ment by  buying  out  all  who  would  sell  in  Caldwell  County.  They  also 
established  two  settlements  under  the  agreement  of  the  two-thirds 
expressed  consent  provision,  one  in  Daviess  County  which  they  called 
Adam-ondi-Ahman,  and  one  at  Dewitt  in  Carroll  County. 

In  Caldwell,  the  town  site  of  Far  West  was  located,  August  8, 
1836,  and  made  the  county-seat.  The  town  was  almost  exclusively 
owned  by  the  members  of  the  church  and  they  were  very  prosperous, 
but  religious  and  political  prejudice  continued,  with  persecution  some- 
times assuming  the  form  of  violence. 

False  and  exaggerated  reports  were  circulated  which  so  influenced 
Governor  L.  W.  Boggs  that  he  issued  an  order  to  the  militia  to  banish 
the  Saints  from  the  State  or  exterminate  them.  This  so  encouraged 
the  lawless  element  that,  on  October  30,  1838,  a  mob  made  an  assault 
on  a  settlement  at  Haun's  Mill,  a  few  miles  east  of  Far  West,  and 
killed  or  mortally  wounded  seventeen  persons,  none  of  whom  had  ever 
borne  arms  against  their  assassins.  On  the  same  day  the  militia  ap- 
proached Far  West  and,  under  flag  of  truce,  asked  for  an  interview 
with  Joseph  Smith,  Parley  P.  Pratt,  Sidney  Rigdon,  George  W.  Rob-

inson,  and  Lyman  Wight.  This  request  was  granted,  but  when  these 
gentlemen  entered  the  camp  of  the  militia  they  were  made  prisoners. 
Then  Hyrum  Smith  and  Amasa  Lyman  were  brought  into  camp  and 
placed  under  guard  with  the  other  five.  Though  only  one  of  these 
men,  vis. :  Colonel  Wight,  was  in  any  way  connected  with  the  mili- 
tary, they  were  promptly  court-martialed  and  sentenced  to  be  shot,  as 
the  following  order  will  show : 

"BRIGADIER-GENERAL  DONIPHAN;  SIR:  You  will  take 
Joseph  Smith  and  the  other  prisoners  into  the  public  square  of  Far 
West,  and  shoot  them  at  nine  o'clock  to-morrow  morning. 

"SAMUEL  D.  LUCAS, 
"Major-General  Commanding." 

To  this  General  Doniphan  with  characteristic  courage  replied : 

"It  is  cold-blooded  murder.  I  will  not  obey  your  order.  My 
Brigade  shall  march  for  Liberty  to-morrow  morning,  at  eight  o'clock; 
and  if  you  execute  those  men,  I  will  hold  you  responsible  before  an 
earthly  tribunal,  so  help  me  God. 

"A.  W.  DONIPHAN,  Brigadier-General." 

During  the  winter  following,  the  orders  of  Governor  Boggs  were 
cruelly  executed,  and  the  members  of  the  church  with  much  suffering 
and  destitution  were  driven  from  the  State,  finding  shelter  in  Illinois. 
The  leaders  were  held  as  prisoners  in  Independence,  Richmond,  and 
Liberty,  receiving  several  ex  parte  trials,  until  the  following  April, 
when  they  were  permitted  to  escape  and  join  their  families  and  friends 
in  Illinois. 

The  action  of  Doniphan  so  disconcerted  Lucas  and  his  associates 
that  the  sentence  of  death  was  not  carried  out.  Subsequently  a  sen- 
tence of  death  was  pronounced  at  Richmond,  Missouri,  but  before 
executing  sentence  consultation  was  had  with  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Richard  B.  Mason,  then  in  command  at  Fort  Leavenworth,  as  to  the 
legality  of  the  procedure,  who  replied:  "It  would  be  nothing  more 
nor  nothing  less  than  cold  blooded  murder."  So  further  action  was 
again  abandoned.  The  detailed  account  of  these  perilous  times  would 
be  very  thrilling  and  interesting,  but  must  not  be  undertaken  within 
the -space  of  this  article. 

They  were  hospitably  received  in  Illinois,  and  a  season  of  pros- 
perity followed,  resulting  in  building  up  the  flourishing  city  of  Nauvoo 
in  Hancock  County.  The  Missouri  agitators,  however,  continued  to 
harass  them  by  kidnapping  and  harshly  treating  their  victims,  circu-

lating  slanderous  reports,  making  requisitions  for  arrests,  etc.,  until 
violent  persecution  was  again  prevalent,  resulting  in  the  assassination 
of  Joseph  and  Hyrum  Smith  at  Carthage,  Illinois,  June  27,  1844. 
While  at  Nauvoo  the  church  erected  a  magnificent  Temple  which  pre- 
sented an  imposing  appearance,  but  the  interior  was  never  finished. 

Opposition  from  without  and  division  within  now  brought  to  the 
church  the  most  critical  period  of  its  existence.  Enemies  drove  them 
from  the  fair  city  of  Nauvoo,  so  that  in  two  years  the  city  was  a  waste 
place  and  its  inhabitants  were  scattered  to  the  four  winds.  Aspirants 
for  leadership' were  many.  The  most  formidable  and  the  one  gaining 
by  far  the  most  adherents  was  Brigham  Young,  who,  Avith  his  asso- 
ciates, left  Nauvoo  in  February,  1846,  and  finally  conducted  his  ad- 
herents to  Utah  and  founded  the  City  of  Great  Salt  Lake.  In  many 
points  they  departed  from  the  original  faith  of  the  church.  The  most 
striking  departure  was  perhaps  the  introduction  of  polygamy  as  a 
tenet  of  the  church.  This  was  first  presented  August  29,  1852,  at  a 
special  conference  held  at  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah.  In  order  to  put  the 
responsibility  of  this  doctrine  back  on  Joseph  Smith  this  document 
bore  date  of  July  12,  1843,  over  nme  years  before  its  first  public  pre- 
sentation. 

The  genuineness  and  authenticity  of  this  document  was  ques- 
tioned by  many  leading  ministers  of  the  church,  and  the  practice  of 
polygamy  denounced  as  immoral  and  corrupt. 

Proof  that  Joseph  Smith  taught  and  practiced  polygamy  is  al- 
leged by  the  people  in  Utah  has  been  demanded,  but  only  implicated 
witnesses  have  been  found  to  testify.  The  entire  absence  of  issue  by 
any  other  woman  than  his  one  wife,  Emma  Hale  Smith,  is  conclu- 
sive rebuttal  of  their  false  testimony. 

In  the  same  year  that  polygamy  was  introduced  in  Utah,  a  move- 
ment was  made  to  form  a  reorganization  of  the  elements  opposed  to 
this  and  other  innovations.  This  organization  took  more  definite 
form  in  1853.  I*  was  composed  principally  of  men  who  were  active 
participants  in  the  church  during  the  days  of  its  first  President,  Jo- 
seph Smith,  and  included  several  local  church  organizations  which 
had  maintained  their  organic  identity  through  all  the  time  of  trouble 
and  doubt.  This  organization  at  once  advocated  that  the  rights  of 
Presidency  should  be  vested  in  the  son  of  Joseph  Smith,  according  to 
accepted  revelations  received  through  him.  Elder  Jason  Briggs,  who 
had  been  connected  with  the  church  during  the  administration  of  its 
first  president,  was  chosen  temporary  president  to  represent  the  law-

ful  heir.  On  April  6,  1860,  Joseph  Smith,  son  of  the  de- 
ceased president,  presented  himself  to  a  conference  of  the  church 
held  at  Amboy,  Illinois,  and  was  immediately  chosen  and  ordained  to 
occupy  his  father's  place.  The  scattered  elements  and  representatives 
of  the  several  factions  rallied  to  his  support,  until  to-day  only  the  or- 
ganization with  headquarters  at  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  remains  to  dis- 
pute the  claims  of  the  Reorganized  Church. 

Several  times  the  claims  of  these  two  rival  organizations  have 
been  tested  in  the  Courts,  the  principal  one  being  the.  famous  Temple 
Case,  where  the  Reorganized  Church,  for  the  purpose  of  quieting  ti- 
tle, brought  action  against  all  parties  having  color  of  title.  The  case 
came  before  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  Lake  County,  Ohio,  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1880.  Honorable  L.  S.  Sherman  was  the  judge.  The  de- 
cision, in  part,  was  as  follows : 

"That  the  said  plaintiff,  the  Reorganized  Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Latter  Day  Saints,  is  a  religious  society,  founded  and  organized 
upon  the  same  doctrines  and  tenets,  and  having  the  same  church  or- 
ganization, as  the  original  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day 
Saints,  organized  in  1830  by  Joseph  Smith,  and  was  organized  pur- 
suant to  the  constitution,  laws  and  usages  of  said  original  church,  and 
has  branches  located  in  Illinois,  Ohio,  and  other  States. 

"That  the  church  in  Utah,  the  defendant,  of  which  John  Taylor 
is  president,  has  materially  and  largely  departed  from  the  faith,  doc- 
trines, laws,  ordinances,  and  usages  of  said  original  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  and  has  incorporated  into  its  system  of 
faith  the  doctrines  of  celestial  marriage  and  a  plurality  of  wives,  and 
the  doctrine  of  Adam-god  worship,  contrary  to  the  laws  and  constitu- 
tion of  said  original  church. 

"And  the  Court  do  further  find  that  the  plaintiff,  the  Reorgan- 
ized Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  is  the  true  and  law- 
ful continuation  of,  and  successor  to  the  said  original  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  organized  in  1830,  and  is  entitled  in  law 
to  all  its  rights  and  property." 

The  people  of  Utah  try  to  throw  discredit  upon  the  Reorganized 
Church  by  claiming  that  there  was  no  disorganization  and  hence  no 
demand  for  a  reorganization,  but  the  foregoing  decree  not  only  makes 
plain  that  the  Utah  contingency  had  departed  from  the  original  faith, 
but  defines  wherein.  Though  other  tests  have  been  made,  no  contrary 
opinion  has  been  rendered. 

Joseph  Smith  continued  to  preside  until  his  death,  December  10, 
1914.  In  these  fifty- four  years  he  retained  the  universal  love  and  con-

fidence  of  the  people,  and  though  he  was  annually  sustained  by  vote 
of  Conference,  there  was  never  a  negative  vote. 

In  1842  Joseph  Smith  wrote  an  epitome  of  faith,  which  was  pub- 
lished in  the  Chicago  Democrat  as  follows : 

"We  believe  in  God  the  Eternal  Father,  and  in  his  Son  Jesus 
Christ,  and  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

"We  believe  that  men  will  be  punished  for  their  own  sins,  and  not 
for  Adam's  transgression. 

"We  believe  that  through  the  atonement  of  Christ  all  mankind 
may  be  saved  by  obedience  to  the  laws  and  ordinances  of  the  gospel. 

"We  believe  that  these  ordinances  are,  ist,  Faith  in  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ;  2d,  Repentance;  3d,  Baptism  by  immersion  for  the  re- 
mission of  sins ;  4th,  Laying  on  of  hands  for  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

"We  believe  that  a  man  must  be  called  of  God  by  'prophecy,  and 
by  laying  on  of  hands'  by  those  who  are  in  authority  to  preach  the  gos- 
pel and  administer  in  the  ordinances  thereof. 

"We  believe  in  the  same  organization  that  existed  in  the  primitive 
church,  viz. :  Apostles,  prophets,  pastors,  teachers,  evangelists,  etc. 

"We  believe  in  the  gift  of  tongues,  prophecy,  revelation,  visions, 
healing,  interpretation  of  tongues,  etc. 

"We  believe  the  Bible  to  be  the  word  of  God  as  far  as  it  is  trans- 
lated correctly;  we  also  believe  the  Book  of  Mormon  to  be  the  word  of 
God. 

"We  believe  all  that  God  has  revealed,  all  that  he  does  now  reveal, 
and  we  believe  that  He  will  yet  reveal  many  great  and  important  things 
pertaining  to  the  kingdom  of  God. 

"We  believe  in  the  literal  gathering  of  Israel  and  in  the  restora- 
tion of  the  Ten  Tribes.  That  Zion  will  be  built  upon  this  continent. 
That  Christ  will  reign  personally  upon  the  earth,  and  that  the  earth 
will  be  renewed  and  receive  its  paradisaic  glory. 

"We  claim  the  privilege  of  worshiping  Almighty  God  according 
to  the  dictates  of  our  conscience,  and  allow  all  men  the  same  privilege, 
let  them  worship  how,  where  or  what  they  may. 

"We  believe  in  being  subject  to  kings,  presidents,  rulers,  and  mag- 
istrates, in  obeying,  honoring,  and  sustaining  the  law. 

"We  believe  in  being  honest,  true,  chaste,  benevolent,  virtuous, 
and  in  doing  good  to  all  men;  indeed  we  may  say  that  we  follow  the 
admonition  of  Paul,  'we  believe  all  things,  we  hope  all  things',  we  have 
endured  many  things,  and  hope  to  be  able  to  endure  all  things.  If 

[490] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CHURCH  OF  LATTER  DAY  SAINTS 

there  is  anything  virtuous,  lovely,  or  of  good  report  or  praiseworthy, 
we  seek  after  these  things." 

The  Reorganized  Church  has  reaffirmed  the  above  without  alter- 
ation, and  because  of  recent  issues  added : 

"We  believe  that  Marriage  is  ordained  of  God;  and  that  the  law 
of  God  provides  for  but  one  companion  in  wedlock,  for  either  man  or 
woman,  except  in  cases  of  death  or  where  the  contract  of  marriage  is 
broken  by  transgression. 

"We  believe  that  the  doctrines  of  plurality  and  a  community  of 
wives  are  heresies,  and  are  opposed  to  the  law  of  God.  THE  BOOK 
of  MORMON  says : — "Wherefore,  my  brethren,  hear  me,  and  hearken 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord:  For  there  shall  not  any  man  among  you 
have  save  it  be  ONE  WIFE,  and  concubines  he  shall  have  none,  for  I, 
the  Lord  God,  delighteth  in  the  chastity  of  women.  And  whoredoms 
are  an  abomination  before  me,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts." — Jacob  2: 

36,  37- 

Since  the  death  of  President  Joseph  Smith,  his  son,  Frederick  M. 
Smith,  has  been  installed  as  president.  The  quorums  are  in  splendid 
organic  form,  and  face  the  future  with  the  confidence  and  good  will 
of  the  people,  which  has  been  increased  with  each  succeeding  year 
under  the  presidency  of  Joseph  Smith  since  1860. 

The  legal  headquarters  of  the  church  are  at  Lamoni,  Iowa,  where 
it  maintains  a  large  publishing  house,  issuing  several  periodicals, 
books  and  tracts.  It  is  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Iowa.  A  still 
larger  gathering,  numerically,  exists  at  Independence,  Missouri,  and 
a  branch  publishing  house  is  maintained  there.  A  college,  two  homes 
for  the  aged  and  a  children's  home  are  maintained  at  Lamoni ;  a  sani- 
tarium and  two  homes  for  the  aged  at  Independence;  and  one  home 
for  the  aged  at  Kirtland,  Ohio. 

The  personnel  of  the  General  Officers  of  the  Church  at  pres- 
ent is  as  follows:  Frederick  Madison  Smith,  President;  Elbert  A. 
Smith,  his  Counselor;  Quorum  of  Twelve  Apostles, — Gomer  T.  Grif- 
fiths, Peter  Anderson,  Francis  M.  Sheehy,  Ulyssis  W.  Greene,  Cor-

C.  Russell,  James  E.  Kelley,  William  M.  Aylor,  Paul  M.  Hansen,  and 
James  A.  Gillen;  Presidents  of  Seventy, — Thomas  C.  Kelley,  James 
F.  Mintun,  Warren  E.  Peak,  John  A.  Davies,  Arthur  B.  Phillips,

DOCTOR  JULIO  PHILIPPI 

Vice-Chairman  of  the  Chilean  Delegation  at  the  Pan-American 

Scientific  Congress 

R.  VICE-PRESIDENT,  Mr.  Secretary,  Mr.  Presi- 
dent of  the  Second  Pan-American  Scientific  Congress, 
Ladies  and  Gentlemen : 

Six  years  ago  the  capital  city  of  my  country  en- 
joyed the  great  honor  of  welcoming  the  distinguished 
guests  of  all  the  Republics  of  the  continent  who  had 
assembled  to  celebrate  the  first  Pan-American  Scientific  Congress. 
To-day  we  assemble  for  the  second  time,  and  this  time  we  are  the 
guests  of  the  oldest  and  most  powerful  of  the  sister  Republics. 

The  countries  here  represented  cover  a  vast  extent  of  territory,  a 
New  World — and  rightly  so  called  because  of  the  relatively  short  pe- 
riod that  has  elapsed  since  it  was  discovered  by  the  races  of  Europe, 
and  because  it  has  given  to  the  world  a  new  concept  of  the  destiny  of 
humanity,  and  of  the  forms  of  government  which  shall  bring  humanity 
i  ever  higher  levels. 

It  is  a  fact,  and  a  fact  which  does  not  mean  a  mere  coincidence, 
and  with  reference  to  the  significance  of  which  I  wish  to  call  your 
attention,  that  all  the  States  of  the  American  Continent  possess  one 
and  the  same  form  of  government.  All  of  them  are  committed  to  those 
ideals  which  Lincoln  expressed  so  admirably  when  he  said,  "A  gov- 
ernment of  the  people,  for  the  people,  and  by  the  people."  This  noble 
and  profound  profession  of  faith  by  one  of  the  greatest  sons  of  Amer- 
ica represents  the  aspiration  of  all  the  nations  of  this  continent. 

Diverse  have  been  the  paths  which  we  have  tread  in  advancing 

[492] 


IDEALS  OF  WASHINGTON  AND  LINCOLN  FOR  ALL  AMERICA 

toward  this  ideal;  no  less  diverse  have  been  the  obstacles  which  we 
have  had  to  overcome  in  attempting  to  incorporate  these  ideals  in  our 
national  life  and  thought.  Furthermore,  we  must  not  forget  that  the 
conditions  have  not  been  equally  favorable  to  all  of  us.  Nevertheless, 
each  and  every  country,  even  the  most  modest,  possesses  a  wealth  of 
experience,  which  can  not  help  but  be  of  value  to  all  the  other  countries 
of  the  continent. 

I  believe  that  I  can  say,  without  reserve,  that  the  political  history 
of  Chile  is  the  story  of  a  struggle,  ardent  at  times,  but  always  looking 
toward  the  realization  of  this  democratic  ideal.  Can  you  imagine  a 
purpose  more  important  and  more  noble  for  gatherings  such  as  these 
than  the  study  of  our  political  life  as  republics  and  of  our  evolution 
toward  democratic  ideals  ? 

Let  us  never  forget  that  every  law,  and  that  every  event  in  the 
life  of  our  peoples,  is  a  social  phenomenon,  a  resultant  of  historical 
antecedents,  which,  at  times,  we  are  unable  to  overcome.  Let  us  study 
these  antecedents  with  a  serene  and  dispassionate  silence,  without  prej- 
udice, and  without  passion.  The  results  of  such  study  can  not  help  but 
be  fruitful,  although  we  may  not  be  able  to  express  them  for  the  mo- 
ment in  terms  of  material  advantage.  Material  interests  do  not  al- 
ways unite  nations,  and  at  times  we  have  even  had  instances  in  which 
the  influence  of  such  interests  were  not  in  harmony  with  the  highest 
ideals  of  civilization.  The  advantages  we  have  in  mind  are  of  a  much 
higher  order. 

Permit  me,  therefore,  in  expressing  the  sincere  thanks  of  the  Chil- 
ean Delegation  to  this  Nation,  and  to  the  Government  of  the  United 
States  for  their  generous  hospitality,  and  to  combine  therewith  the 
expression  of  our  admiration  for  the  high  and  noble  democratic  ideals 
which  Washington  and  Lincoln  have  made  the  common  property  of 
all  the  Americas.

DOCTOR  ERNESTO  QUESADA 


President  of  the  Delegation  from  the  Argentine  Republic  at  the 
Second  Pan-American  Scientific  Conress 


OUR  EXCELLENCY,  the  Vice-President  of  the  Re- 
public, the  Honorable,  the  Secretary  of  State,  Mr. 
President  of  the  Congress,  ladies  and  gentlemen  : 

The  Argentine  Delegation,  over  which  I  have  the 
honor  to  preside,  in  acknowledging  the  distinguished 
attentions  received  alike  from  authorities  and  individ- 
uals, takes  pleasure  in  expressing  its  wishes  that  this  Congress,  des- 
tined, as  it  is  to  tighten  the  bonds  of  Pan-American  solidarity  among 
the  nations  of  our  continent,  shall  achieve  success. 

Never  more  than  at  the  present  moment,  while  Europe  is  in  the 
throes  of  the  great  conflict  of  nations,  has  America  been  confronted 
by  a  more  vital  necessity  to  stand  together,  with  a  view  to  uniformity 
in  ideas,  aspirations,  and  tendencies,  as  well  as  in  politico-economic  as 
in  purely  intellectual  spheres.  This  Congress  is  to  concern  itself  with 
only  the  second  of  these  fields  of  thought,  and  the  programme  pre- 
pared is  so  vast  and  comprehensive  that  it  may  be  said  that,  in  the 
many  themes  submitted  for  our  deliberation,  every  problem  that  con- 
fronts the  human  mind  is  to  be  found. 

In  view  of  the  composition  of  the  Congress,  there  will  undoubt- 
edly be  presented  for  us  to  consider  innumerable  papers  which,  not- 
withstanding our  desire  to  do  so,  we  shall  probably  not  have  time  fully 
to  discuss  and  digest.  Perhaps  it  may  become  necessary  for  us  to  con- 
tent ourselves  with  a  concise  exposition  of  the  context  of  each  and 
await  its  publication  in  full  in  the  proceedings  of  the  Congress  for  our 
opportunity  to  take  due  account  of  its  consummate  importance.  But, 

[494] 


THE  INTELLECTUAL  UNION  OF  THE  AMERICAS 

in  any  event,  this  opportunity  of  meeting  and  conferring  with  so  many 
representatives  of  all  the  American  countries  will  contribute  to  facili- 
tate the  solution  of  not  a  few  of  the  questions,  and  will  serve  to  make 
more  binding  the  intellectual  union  of  America,  which,  until  now,  has 
been  somewhat  loose  and  which  has  been  of  rather  negligible  force  in 
certain  sections. 

The  Argentine  Delegation  has  felt  that  it  ought  to  strive  to  make 
the  present  Congress  bear  more  tangible  and  permanent  fruit,  yet 
without  prejudice  to  the  series  of  isolated  papers  that  may  be  presented 
at  its  several  sessions.  To  this  end,  it  has  placed  itself  in  accord  with 
the  Chilean  and  Brazilian  Delegations,  in  order  to  formulate  certain 
proposals  of  a  general  character  and  common  utility,  and  has  submit- 
ted them  previously  for  the  consideration  of  other  delegations,  for  the 
purpose  of  securing  a  true  realization  of  Pan-American  work. 

Because  this  should  be  based  on  the  absolute  international  equality 
of  all  continental  nations,  both  great  and  small,  the  international  con- 
sciences of  all  are  to-day  awakened,  and  are  impressed  with  the  duty 
of  co-ordinating  in  an  effort  to  solve  the  general  problems  from  a 
point  of  view  peculiarly  American.  The  political  aspect  being  happily 
eliminated  from  the  deliberations  of  this  Congress,  the  intellectual 
alone  remains,  and  in  this,  conceivably,  no  stumbling  block  can  present 
itself. 

Therefore,  the  fundamental  idea  pervading  the  three  projects 
that  are  to  be  submitted  to  the  Congress  at  its  next  general  session 
should  be  agreeable  to  all  the  Delegates.  Lack  of  time  only  has  pre- 
vented their  presentation,  unanimously  signed  by  all.  It  is  sought 
thereby  to  complement,  in  the  intellectual  field,  the  work  of  the  exist- 
ing Pan-American  Union,  by  organizing,  as  sections  of  that  union, 
three  subsidiary  unions :  One  pertaining  to  universities,  a  bibliothical 
union,  and  an  archaeological  one. 

The  first  proposes  to  confederate  all  the  universities  of  this  con- 
tinent, for  the  better  development  of  their  organizations  and  tenden- 
cies, the  facilitation  of  interchanges  of  professors  and  students,  and  to 
permit  the  meeting  of  both  in  periodical  assemblies. 

The  second  has  for  its  object  to  place  within  reach  of  the  isolated 
student  the  common  treasures  collected  in  all  the  libraries  of  the  con- 
tinent, by  recommending  to  those  institutions  the  service  of  exchange 
of  publications  and  the  preparation  of  bibliographical  lists  of  intellect- 
ual productions,  to  the  end  that  any  person  may  know  and  obtain  such 
productions  as  may  appear  in  other  sections  of  America. 

[495] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

The  third  proposes  to  conserve  the  pre-Columbian  remains  of  the 
ancient  civilizations  of  the  peoples  that  inhabited  this  continent  before 
its  discovery,  and  combine  the  activities  of  the  ethnological  museums, 
in  order  to  facilitate  the  study  of  this  mysterious  science. 

It  will  be  seen,  then,  that  these  projects,  which  it  is  sought  to  have 
the  present  Pan-American  Union  carry  into  effect  as  subsidiaries 
thereof,  will  tend  to  advance  the  solidarity  of  all  the  nations  of  Amer- 
ica, and  to  produce  in  all  very  real  benefits.  So  that,  if  such  projects 
should  prosper,  this  Congress  will  have  given  life  to  new  institutions 
of  a  permanent  character  and  of  indubitable  utility. 

Whether  on  this  account,  or  on  the  more  strictly  technical  ground 
taken  in  the  papers  designated  in  the  programme,  the  Argentine  Dele- 
gation, animated  by  the  most  ample  sentiments  of  American  cofrater- 
nity,  and  sensible  of  our  imperishable  historical  traditions,  takes  part 
in  the  deliberations  of  the  Congress  imbued  with  the  highest  desire 
for  its  success.  There  is  no  doubt  that  this  will  be  a  brilliant  one,  and 
that  the  generosity  and  unstinted  hospitality  extended  to  us  at  this 
time  by  this  great  country  will  contribute  to  facilitate  that  result  and 
to  tighten  the  bonds  of  friendship  and  sympathy  between  the  nations 
and  the  inhabitants  of  America. 

Such  is  the  message  that  my  country  sends  on  this  portentious 
occasion.

HIS    EXCELLENCY,  THOMAS  R.  MARSHALL 

Vice-President  of  the  United  States 

ADIES,  Mr.  President,  Distinguished  Representatives 
of  Sister  Jurisdictions,  Mr.  Secretary-General,  and 
Members  of  the  Second  Pan-American  Scientific 
Congress : 

I  do  not  apologize  for  the  absence  of  the  President 
of  the  United  States.  The  reason  for  his  absence  is 
known  to  you  all.  In  the  presence  of  Love,  Science  is  silent.  But  I 
am  quite  sure  that  I  address  no  man  who  has  loved,  no  man  who  does 
love,  nor  no  man  who  hopes  to  love,  who  does  not  wish  the  President 
of  the  United  States  years  of  unclouded  happiness.  I  would,  how- 
ever, that  he  were  here,  because  he  could  tickle  this  English  language 
of  ours  into  such  a  smile  that  these  delegates  would  not  recognize  the 
difference  between  it  and  their  own  mother  tongue. 

It  is  a  very  remarkable  pleasure  and  honor  to  welcome  the  dele- 
gates to  this  convention.  About  one-half  of  the  conventions  that  are 
held  in  the  world  might  as  well  never  have  been  held,  because  they  sim- 
ply consist  of  coming  together,  listening  to  some  one  speak  on  a  sub- 
ject that  no  one  save  the  man  who  speaks  is  interested  in,  attending 
a  dinner,  and  passing  into  oblivion.  Such,  however,  is  not  this  re- 
markable convention.  Travelers  have  told  me  that  there  is  a  point  in 

[513] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Iceland  where  the  rays  of  the  setting  and  of  the  rising  sun  mingle,  and 
it  is  not  possible  to  tell  when  one  day  is  ended  and  another  is  begun ; 
and  it  strikes  me  that  this  convention  marks  an  area  in  the  history  of 
mankind. 

Nobody  can  convince  me  that  the  awful  cataclysm  in  Europe  has 
not  set  aside  all  that  we  have  known  as  being  the  safe  and  sure  charts 
upon  the  seas  of -human  life.  I  believe  that  it  is  not  possible  to  take  the 
old  charts  by  which  governments  and  men  guided  and  controlled  their 
own  lives  and  the  destinies  of  their  own  people  and  prepared  for  the 
hours  of  the  future.  Upon  the  contrary,  I  think  it  is  necessary  once 
again  over  uncharted  seas  for  some  new  Columbus  to  sail  and  dis- 
cover a  new  America,  and  I  want  to  congratulate  you  upon  the  fact 
that  I  believe  that,  metaphorically  speaking,  in  this  chamber  to-day 
there  is  some  new  Columbus,  who  will  discover  for  us  a  new  America, 
bound  together,  not  so  much  in  personal  and  private  interest,  as  in  a 
common  whole  of  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

May  I  be  permitted  to  speak  just  one  word  as  to  what  I  believe 
this  Republic  of  ours  stands  for  ?  May  I  tell  you  that  I  think  it  does 
not  rest  upon  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  upon  the  shoulders 
of  the  President,  or  the  Congress,  or  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  but  I  know  that  its  foundation  stone  was  intended  to  be  the 
Golden  Rule,  that  "Whatsoever  we  would  that  men  should  do  unto  us 
we  would  also  do  unto  them." 

I  think  that  the  years  of  the  past  are  gone  in  the  Western  Hemis- 
phere. I  think  that  there  is  to  be  no  mere  personal,  political,  and  na- 
tional ambition  that  will  ever  again  set  the  peoples  of  the  Western 
Hemisphere  the  one  against  the  other.  I  believe  that  the  hour  has 
come  when  Pan-Americanism  shall  spell  friendship,  peace,  and  con- 
cord among  all  the  peoples  of  the  western  world. 

It  may  not  be  known  to  you,  because  what  the  Vice-President 
of  the  United  States  says  is  not  even  important  to  his  wife.  It  may  not 
be  known  to  you,  but  I  am  one  of  those  in  these  United  States  who 
believes  in  the  preparation  of  this  country  for  war.  Not  that  I  want 
war,  because  the  dream  and  the  prayer  of  my  life  is  that  the  hour  shall 
come  when  every  difficulty  among  the  nations  of  the  world  shall  be 
settled,  not  by  the  tramp  of  hostile  armies,  but  by  the  sway  of  the  same 
heavenly  harmonies  which  aroused  the  drowsy  shepherds  of  the  rock- 
founded  city  of  Bethlehem,  proclaiming,  "Peace  on  earth,  good  will  to 
men !" 

But  I  know  myself, — and  I  have  no  way  of  measuring  other  men 


THE  GOLDEN  RULE  OF  AMERICA'S  FOUNDATION   STONE 

save  by  my  own  standard, — and  I  have  not  reached  that  high  alti- 
tude yet  when  I  am  willing  to  have  some  ruffian  interfere  with  the 
things  which  I  believe  to  be  my  rights.  And  so,  while  I  pray  and  hope 
for  peace,  I  want  preparation  to  resist  unjust  interference  with  the 
affairs  of  my  Republic,  and  I  hope  that  out  of  this  Pan-American  Con- 
gress there  shall  come  a  new  idea,  if  it  be  new  to  any  of  you,  and 
a  new  ideal  of  the  Monroe  Doctrine;  and  that  idea  and  that  ideal 
shall  be  that,  while  this  Republic  will  not  permit  this  West- 
ern Continent  to  be  made  a  place  of  exploitation  by  any  of  the 
Powers  of  Europe,  this  Republic  itself  will  not  make  itself  an  ex- 
ploitation of  any  part  of  it.  Let  it  be  understood  that  the  Republics 
of  the  Western  World  are  not  enemies;  they  are  friends,  brethren, 
neighbors,  and  what  touches  you  to  your  injury  touches  us  to  ours. 

I  am  glad  that  the  idea  of  this  Scientific  Congress  came  from  the 
south  of  us.  We  need  this  lesson.  For  a  long  while,  we  have  imag- 
ined that  nobody  could  teach  a  citizen  of  the  United  States  anything. 
We  knew  it  all ;  we  were  as  wise  as  I  was  the  day  when  I  was  admitted 
to  the  practice  of  law,  for  then  there  was  no  question  of  constitutional 
or  international  law  that  I  could  not  have  settled  by  my  own  "ipse  dixi." 
But  the  years  have  gone,  and  the  years,  instead  of  teaching  me  wis- 
dom, have  taught  me  that  I  know  but  little.  And  so  we  needed  this 
lesson  and  we  have  taken  it,  I  think,  to  our  hearts,  and  we  have  real- 
ized that  the  great  thing  for  the  future  upon  the  Western  Continent 
is  not  one  people  who  know  it  all,  but  many  people  who  believe  in  all 
and  are  willing  to  consult  with  all. 

This  marks,  I  think,  the  end  of  about  a  hundred  years  of  procla- 
mation of  the  rights  of  men.  If  I  know  what  has  caused  the  wars  and 
the  rumors  of  wars  and  the  tumults  among  mankind,  I  may  say  they 
have  been  caused  by  that  never-ending  cry  about*  the  rights  of  men. 
Now,  I  am  not  disposed  to  either  yield  my  own  or  to  ask  you  to  yield 
yours,  but  I  beg  to  recall  to  your  mind  that  there  never  came  to  any 
man  a  right  that  there  did  not  also  go  with  it  a  corresponding  duty. 
And  so  I  say  that  I  hope  this  Congress  will  end  the  hundred  years  of 
the  everlasting  proclamation  of  the  rights  of  men  and  will  inaugurate 
upon  this  Western  Continent  a  hundred  years  of  the  duties  that  men 
owe  to  each  other  in  these  lands  of  ours. 

It  was  a  famous  German  who  took  a  pen  of  gold  and  wrote  upon 
the  white  pages  of  the  book  of  life  a  philosophy  that  had  but  one  in- 
quiry and  that  inquiry  was  a  wail,  and  had  no  answer  save  the  answer 
of  despair.  I  do  not  like  the  philosophy  of  Nietzsche,  but  there  was 

[515] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

one  thing  which  he  did  say  that  has  appealed  to  me.  He  said  that  men 
must  lead  adventurous  lives;  and  I  congratulate  you  distinguished 
members  of  this  Congress  upon  the  fact  that  you  have  about  begun  to 
lead  the  really  adventurous  lives  of  the  world.  For  no  one  can  con- 
vince me  that  it  is  essentially  necessary  that  men  should  gird  their 
loins  with  the  sword,  start  out  to  kill  and  slay  and  make  desolate,  in 
order  to  be  adventurous.  I  believe  that  the  men  who  seek  the  common 
weal,  who  seek  to  lengthen  life,  to  make  it  far  better,  far  sweeter,  and 
far  cleaner  than  it  has  been,  are  leading  the  really  adventurous  lives. 
And  so  may  I,  in  welcoming  you  to  this  Republic  of  the  North, 
give  you  not  only  the  mere  lip  service  of  a  welcome,  but  give  you  the 
heart  salutation  of  a  man  who  hopes  that  until  the  Angel  of  the 
Apocalypse,  standing  with  one  foot  on  land  and  one  on  sea,  shall  pro- 
claim, "Time  was,  Time  is,  but  Time  shall  be  no  more,"  there  shall  be 
peace,  amity,  concord,  friendship,  loyalty,  and  liberality  among  the 
Nations  of  the  Western  World!

HIS  EXCELLENCY,  SENOR  DON  EDUARDO  SUAREZ-MUJICA 

Ambassador  Extraordinary  and  Plenipotentiary  from  Chile  to  the 

United  States 

[  XCELLENCIES,  Messrs.  Delegates,  Ladies  and  Gen- 
tlemen : 

It  now  behooves  me  to  say  a  few  words,  on  this 
memorable  occasion. 

So  well  known  are  they,  that  I  do  not  have  to  dwell 
upon  the  characteristics  forming  the  essence  of  this 
great  assembly,  and  which  are  not  ordinarily  to  be  found  in  interna- 
tional gatherings  of  a  wider  scope.  Its  purpose,  of  a  purely  intellect- 
ual order,  free  from  any  interests  outside  of  those  of  scientific  re- 
search, displays  that  mark  of  nobleness  and  dignity  peculiar  to  men- 
tal efforts  when  the  mind  strives  for  a  greater  amount  of  light  —  a 
white,  intensive,  and  pure  light  —  to  enlighten  the  path  of  human  prog- 
ress. 

Man,  creation's  superior  being,  owes  to  himself  and  to  the  infi- 

[517] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

nite  diversifications  of  matter  coming  under  his  control,  the  duty  of 
continually  developing  himself^  so  that  he  may  be  worthy  of  his  semi- 
divine  role,  and  in  order  to  increase,  also  unceasingly,  the  welfare  and 
happiness  in  the  world  wherein  he  exercises  his  sovereign  domain. 

Thus,  a  Congress,  such  as  the  one  we  are  to-day  inaugurating,  to 
attend  which  caravans  of  pilgrims  of  knowledge  of  have  come,  with- 
out heeding  difficulties  or  sacrifices,  from  all  parts  of  the  Continent, 
to  contribute  with  their  share  towards  the  work  for  the  intellectual 
emancipation  of  the  species — a  Congress,  such  as  this,  I  repeat,  con- 
stitutes a  vivid  testimony  to  the  fact  that  man  is  fulfilling  his  high 
mission,  and  that  his  efforts  and  his  energies  are  not  spared  when  for 
the  sake  of  humanity's  higher  interests. 

To  this  end  it  is  comforting  to  look  back  to  the  origin  of  the  move- 
ment by  which  exactly  one-half  of  the  civilized  countries  of  the  globe 
are  here  to-day  in  communion.  That  origin  shows  how  the  sparks  of 
the  spirit  of  science,  through  their  own  expansive  power,  grow,  until 
they  become  large,  glowing  flames,  capable  of  serving  as  torches  to 
light  the  world's  path. 

Twenty-five  years  ago,  a  modest  Chilean  scientific  organization 
originated  the  institution  of  national  scientific  congresses,  whose 
range  did  not  go  beyond  the  geographical  boundaries  of  the  country, 
unless  it  was  to  appoint  a  few  corresponding  members  in  the  neigh- 
boring Republics. 

Some  years  later,  the  spark  caught  fire  on  the  other  side  of  the 
Andes,  and  an  important  Argentine  scientific  organization,  enlarging 
the  idea  with  a  wider  scope,  and  acting  with  the  co-operation  and  un- 
der the  auspices  of  its  enlightened  Government,  founded  the  perma- 
nent institution  of  Latin  American  Scientific  Congresses,  with  the  en- 
thusiastic participation  of  scientists  from  all  the  cognate  Republics  of 
America. 

A  complete  success  attended  the  first  three  congresses,  held,  re- 
spectively, in  Buenos  Aires,  Montevideo,  and  Rio  de  Janeiro.  When 
the  preliminary  work  of  the  fourth  congress,  sitting  in  Santiago  de 
Chile,  was  undertaken,  its  organization  committee  thought,  in  its  turn, 
that  the  time  was  ripe  for  wiping  out  the  boundary  lines  to  which  these 
congresses,  for  ethnical  reasons,  had  been  confined  until  then,  and  to 
give  them  thereafter  a  continental  latitude,  that  might  be  in  better  har- 
mony with  the  universality  and  majesty  of  their  purposes. 

With  that  end  in  view,  they  sought  and  secured  the  ample,  uncon- 
ditional, and  efficient  co-operation  from  our  great  sister  of  the  north, 


THE   MONROE   DOCTRINE   A   BULWARK   FOR   OUR   DEMOCRACIES 

the  United  States  of  America,  which  nation  participated  in  the  San- 
tiago Congress  with  a  brilliant  representation,  and  now  so  eloquently 
and  pleasingly  shows  to  the  rest  of  America  its  spirit  of  scientific  con- 
fraternity. 

Thus,  through  a  successful,  progressive  evolution,  impelled  by 
men  and  supported  by  governments,  we  have  come,  from  the  modest 
beginning  of  a  local  scientific  body,  to  the  solemn  and  magnificent  in- 
ternational assembly  which  to-day  unites  the  whole  continent  in  a 
brotherly  intercourse  for  the  mutual  benefit  of  all. 

Thus,  also  permanent  existence  has  been  secured  for  an  institu- 
tion which  is  an  honor  to  America,  an  institution  which,  undoubtedly, 
has  already  begun  to  exercise  a  positive  influence  upon  the  populariza- 
tion and  adoption  into  our  laws  or  into  our  economic  or  educational 
methods,  of  principles  and  doctrines  of  common  interest  to  us,  and 
which,  in  fine,  is  likely  destined,  by  reason  of  the  generic  nature  of  its 
scope  and  on  account  of  the  very  intensity  of  its  irradiation,  to  carry 
the  benefits  of  its  work  far  beyond  the  confines  of  Columbus's  world. 
Indeed,  who  can  deny  the  probability  that  tomorrow,  when  the  hour  of 
calm,  of  love,  and  brotherliness  shall  have  replaced  the  hour  of  con- 
flagration, of  hatred,  and  of  death,  now  consuming  the  work  of  the 
other  half  of  the  world — the  oldest,  the  most  civilized,  the  one  whose 
duty  it  is  to  set  up  its  example  with  its  spirit  of  humanity  and  with  its 
powerful  impulse  of  civilization  and  progress — who  can  deny,  I  repeat, 
the  probability  that,  when  the  tragedy  shall  have  ended  and  the  men  in 
that  part  of  the  world  shall  have  recovered  their  equilibrium  of  mind 
and  heart,  our  present  and  future  labors  may  project  a  new  light  upon 
European  intellectualism,  finally  to  effect  a  universal  concert? 

As  a  complement  of  the  work  of  scientific  extension  by  these  con- 
gresses, there  is  the  work  of  social  and  political  extension  which, 
though  not  precisely  their  object,  is  their  natural  consequence  and  in- 
deed does  not  constitute  one  of  the  lesser  benefits  derived  from  their 
meetings.  Together  with  the  abstract  problems  of  anthropology,  law, 
astronomy,  medicine,  mechanics,  there  are  found  the  less  metaphysical 
and  more  practical  researches  on  educational  methods,  sanitation  sys- 
tems, development  of  transportation  facilities,  and  other  factors  of  in- 
dustrial prosperity  bearing  directly  upon  the  common  economy  of  life, 
in  whose  field  intercourse  and  acquaintance  are  facilitated  among  the 
men  who  direct  the  mental  activities  of  countries. 

Men  are  the  instrument,  by  means  of  which  love  and  good-will 
among  people  are  wrought.  They  are  the  ground-work  of  peace  and 

[519] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

the  foundation  of  its  prosperity.  Assembled  in  these  congresses,  and 
thereby  associated  and  acquainted  with  each  other,  they  study  recip- 
rocally their  individual  and  national  traits,  the  conditions  and  necessi- 
ties of  life  in  their  respective  countries,  and  bring  about  an  atmosphere 
of  mutual  understanding  and  congeniality.  Under  this  atmosphere, 
egotism  vanishes,  and  the  obstacles  that  separation  and  distance  put 
in  the  way  of  human  cordiality  are  overcome. 

If  this  indirect  benefit  were  to  be  the  only  outcome  of  these  period- 
ical conventions,  I  do  not  hesitate  in  stating  that,  in  my  judgment,  it 
would  suffice  to  justify  all  efforts  and  all  sacrifices  on  the  part  of  indi- 
viduals and  governments. 

It  is  the  good  fortune  of  this  assembly  to  meet  at  a  time  gratifying 
to  the  political  and  international  interests  of  the  Republics  herein  rep- 
resented. Twenty  days  ago,  at  the  time  of  the  solemn  opening  of  the 
Federal  Congress  of  this  great  Republic,  His  Excellency,  the  President 
of  the  United  States,  tracing  in  detail  the  lines  of  the  exact  meaning 
of  Pan-Americanism,  succeeded  so  eloquently  and  expressively  in 
shaping  his  sentiments  of  continental  brotherhood,  that  his  statements 
were  flashed  by  the  wires  throughout  our  Americas,  like  messages  of 
friendship  and  as  a  crystallization  of  a  policy  of  American  respect, 
equality,  and  solidarity. 

With  the  echo  from  these  solemn  declarations  still  vibrating,  and 
as  if  to  confirm  their  meaning  and  extent  in  a  direct  and  unmistakable 
manner,  His  Excellency,  the  Secretary  of  State,  the  authorized  organ 
for  communicating  the  official  thought  to  the  other  countries,  has  just 
uttered,  in  terms  perhaps  more  assertive,  although  not  more  transpar- 
ent, the  complete  expression  of  the  Pan-American  sentiment  and  pol- 
icy, wherefrom  the  government,  guiding  the  affairs  of  George  Wash- 
ington's country,  derives  and  shall  derive  its  inspiration. 

A  new  community  of  interests  and  a  clearer  conception  of  their 
common  ties, — said  His  Excellency,  President  Wilson, — binds  the  na- 
tions of  America  to-day.  All  intelligent  men  should  welcome  the  new 
light  guiding  us  now,  when  nobody  here  thinks  of  guardianship  or 
tutelage,  but  of  a  frank  and  honorable  association  with  our  neighbors, 
in  the  interest  of  all  America,  North  and  South.  Within  the  purpose 
of  defending  national  independence  and  political  liberty  in  America, 
which  inspired  the  historical  declaration  by  President  Monroe,  there 
is  no  thought  of  our  taking  advantage  of  any  Government  in  this  Hem- 
isphere or  of  exploiting  for  our  benefit  their  political  contingencies. 
All  the  Governments  of  America, — the  worthy  Executive  of  this  cotin- 

[520] 


THE   MONROE  DOCTRINE   A   BULWARK    FOR   OUR  DEMOCRACIES 

try  concludes  with  eloquent  majesty, — stand,  so  far  as  we  are  con- 
cerned, upon  a  footing  of  genuine  equality  and  unquestioned  independ- 
ence. Mutual  co-operation  in  the  divers  orders  of  'their  national  activ- 
ities, the  unity  of  their  thought  and  action,  the  community  of  their 
sympathies  and  ideals,  such  are  the  characteristics  of  Pan-American- 
ism. There  is  none  of  the  imperialistic  spirit  in  it;  only  the  embodi- 
ment, effectual  embodiment,  of  the  spirit  of  law,  of  independence,  of 
liberty,  and  of  reciprocal  support. 

A  similar  language,  an  expression  equally  clear  and  precise,  of 
American  confraternity,  a  statement  of  declarations  no  less  substantive 
and  valuable,  has  just  been  formulated  by  His  Excellency,  the  Secre- 
tary of  State,  in  the  remarkable  speech  we  have  heard  from  him. 

This  is  a  Pan-American  gathering.  It  is  the  first  large  meeting  of 
eminent  men  from  all  Americas  held  since  and  soon  after  the  trans- 
cendental manifestation  of  purposes  by  the  two  officals  embodying 
the  representation  and  assuming  the  responsibilities  for  the  foreign 
policy  of  the  United  States.  Therefore,  no  other  opportunity  is  more 
propitious,  nor  any  representative  body  is  better  qualified  than  ours, 
at  this  time,  to  take  notice  of  such  declaration,  and  to  place  them  over 
the  frontispiece  of  this  Congress,  within  a  frame  built  by  the  friend- 
ship and  love  of  the  other  twenty  republics  of  the  Continent. 

Although  representing  only  one  of  those  Republics,  I  am  never- 
theless convinced  that  I  am  interpreting  the  thought  and  feeling  of 
each  and  every  one  of  them,  when  I  say  that  the  Government  of  the 
United  States  to-day  completes  the  erasing,  with  a  friendly  hand,  of 
the  last  traces  of  past  misunderstandings  and  erroneous  interpreta- 
tions which  had  in  former  times  clouded  the  political  horizon  of  Amer- 
ica. No  doubt,  there  had  prevailed  before'  now,  in  the  atmosphere  in 
American  Foreign  Offices,  uncertainties,  misgivings,  and  suspicions, 
whenever  the  well-inspired  and  unquestionably  beneficial  declaration 
of  President  Monroe  was  brandished  in  the  United  States  with  a  view 
to  practical  application.  There  was  lacking  the  precise  definition  of 
the  meaning  and  extent  of  that  memorable  document,  and  many  of  the 
weaker  American  nations,  like  small  birds  that  feel  in  the  air  the  sound 
of  a  menacing  flight,  seemed  afraid  and  apprehensive,  whenever  the 
news  reached  them  of  a  possible  practical  application  of  its  declara- 
tions. 

Thus,  the  Monroe  doctrine  might  have  been  a  threat,  so  long  as 
it  was  only  a  right  and  an  obligation  on  the  part  of  the  United  States. 
Generalized  as  a  derivation  from  the  Pan-American  policy,  supported 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

by  all  the  Republics  in  the  continent,  as  a  common  force  and  a  common 
defense,  it  has  become  a  solid  tie  of  unison,  a  guaranty,  a  bulwark  for 
our  democracies. 

Before  now,  some  steps  had  been  tried  with  success  along  the  path 
of  Pan-American  evolution,  and  if  those  preliminary  efforts  have, 
through  circumstances,  been  participated  in  only  by  a  numerically 
small  and  geographically  distant  group  of  the  countries  in  the  hemis- 
phere, it  is  not,  indeed,  due  to  the  purposes  of  exclusion  or  selection 
which  would  have  been  inconsistent  with  the  well  proven  spirit  of 
brotherhood  that  always  inspired  the  governments  of  those  countries. 
All  the  Republics  of  America  are  capable  of  setting  up  their  own  des- 
tiny, and  all  are  unquestionably  bound  to  serve,  in  their  turn,  as  expo- 
nents of  our  civilization  and  progress. 

It  is,  therefore,  gratifying  to  expect  days  of  joy  and  glory  for  our 
America.  The  ship  of  our  destinies,  flying  the  banner  of  fraternity 
and  solidarity,  which  are  the  motto  of  Pan- Americanism,  cannot  run 
against  any  rocks  that  might  hinder  her  course.  The  forces  of  twenty- 
one  countries  are  united  to  propel  her,  and  by  means  of  this  harmonious 
impulse,  moral  progress  is  secured,  and  the  road  leading  to  the  achieve- 
ment of  material  advancement  is  directly  pursued. 

Messrs.  Delegates:  Under  the  auspices  of  the  cordial  reception 
accorded  us  by  this  country  and  with  our  hearts  full  of  faith  in  the  suc- 
cess of  the  journey,  you  are  going  to  undertake  your  labors,  from 
which  America  expects  fruitful  results.  We  are  in  the  country  of 
great  energies,  where  every  man  is  an  originating  power,  and  where 
every  solution  spells  victory  for  the  welfare  of  humanity.  Let  us,  we 
delegates  with  the  Latin  soul,  prove  that  we  are  equally  capable  of 
generating  energy  to  insure  the  well-being  of  humankind,  and  that  we 
are  likewise  able  to  assist,  with  a  contribution  worthy  of  our  brothers 
of  Anglo-Saxon  America,  in  the  work  of  Pan-American  communion 
to  which  we  are  invited  by  the  engaging  word  of  President  Wilson  and 
his  Secretary  of  State. 

In  concluding  my  remarks,  I  request  the  Congress  that,  with  all 
standing  up,  it  shall  join  me  in  sending  the  homage  of  our  respectful 
greetings  to  the  President  of  the  United  States,  who  is  to  us  the  high- 
est embodiment  of  the  national  entity  of  this  Republic.

Chairman  of  the  Costa  Rican  Delegation  to  the  Second 
Pan-American  Scientific  Congress 

OUR  Excellency,  Mr.  Vice-President,  Mr.  Secretary  of 
State,  Mr.  President  of  the  Congress,  ladies  and  gen- 
tlemen : 

The  peaceful  assembling  of  free  America  to  discuss 
in  this  Congress,  and  at  this  moment,  the  best  and  most 
adequate  means  science  can  dispose  of  to  dignify  and 
beautify  human  life,  is  highly  significant  to  all  who  have  had  the  priv- 
ilege of  being  born  in  the  new  world.  And  that  this  should  happen  at 
the  precise  moment  when  the  genius  of  war  prevails  as  a  god  com- 
manding ruin  and  desolation  on  the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic  is  even 
more  significant.  The  pride  which  the  Pan-Americans  to-day  ex- 
perience is  the  more  intense  and  well  justified  since  this  is  the  second 
continental  convention  which  has  met  in  Washington  during  the  pe- 
riod of  world-wide  desolation.  It  would  seem  as  if,  by  a  natural  re- 
flex impulse,  the  nations  of  America,  having  witnessed  the  results  of 
upheaval  and  hatred,  wished  to  prevent  them  forever,  making  a  union 
ever  growing  in  strength  and  cordiality.

Gentlemen  of  the  Congress,  my  country,  Costa  Rica,  being  so 
small  a  nation,  has  but  very  limited  means  at  her  disposal  to  be  able 
to  offer  you  any  original  work  deserving  the  care  and  consideration 
of  your  enlightened  science  and  learning.  I  therefore  beg  of  you  to 
accept  in  her  name  the  earnest  and  sincere  wishes  that  your  efforts 
may  attain  the  most  brilliant  success,  as  is  called  forth  by  your  learn- 
ing, by  the  noble  motives  which  summoned  you  here,  and  by  the  great- 
ness and  glory  of  the  nations  you  are  representing  on  this  most  sol- 
emn occasion.

tisan, sectional,  nor  narrowly  national  sense,  but  in  recog- 
nition of  man's  high  obligation  toward  civic  righteousness, 
believing  that  human  governments  are  divinely  ordained 
to  bear  the  sword  and  exercise  police  duty  for  good  against 
evil,  and  not  for  evil  against  good,  and  recognizing,  as  be-1 
tween  peoples  and  peoples,  that  "God  has  made  of  one

eration between  all  historical  organizations,  patriotic  or- 
ders, and  kindred  societies,  local,  state,  national,  and  inter- 


national,  that  the  usefulness  of  all  may  be  increased  and 
their  benefits  extended  toward  education  and  patriotism. 

(d)  To  promote  the  work  of  preserving  historic 
land-marks  and  marking  historic  sites. 

(e)  To  encourage  the  use  of  historical  themes  and

and  work  of  the  Society.

FRANK  ALLABEN 

HE  CONSTANT  mystery  of  ourselves,  and  of  this 
great  blue-domed  world-theatre  in  which  we  act  our 
parts,  presents  an  endless  problem  and  perpetual 
stumbling-block  to  all  human  philosophy.  Distracted 
by  the  elusive  alchemy  of  life,  the  baffled  brain  falls 
back  in  doubt  of  every  thing.  Born  in  the  midst  of  a 
great  tapestry,  we  pull  only  at  a  few  threads  in  the  centre  of  the  piece. 
O  that  we  might  touch  the  beginning  of  things,  or  grasp  even  a  single 
unravelled  end ! 

Could  we  have  witnessed  the  laying  of  the  foundations  of  the 
earth ;  when  the  measures  were  taken,  and  the  line  stretched  upon  it  ; 
when  the  sockets  were  made  to  sink,  and  the  corner-stone  was  planted  ; 
when  the  morning  stars  sang  together,  and  all  the  sons  of  God  shouted 
for  joy ;  when  the  sea  was  shut  up  with  doors,  as  it  broke  forth  from 
the  womb,  and  the  cloud  was  made  its  garment,  and  thick  darkness  its 
swaddling  band ;  — had  thus  our  eyes  beheld  creation  at  work,  should 
we  not  have  gathered  some  penetrating  clue  to  the  mystery  of  things? 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

Probably  not.  The  soundless  crash  and  inaudible  tumult,  as  the 
gigantic  beams  and  great  quivering  timbers  of  the  universe  tilted  and 
rocked  into  place,  would  very  likely  have  stunned  our  souls  into  com- 
plete incomprehension.  Doubtless  minds  like  ours  can  extract  much 
more  from  an  atom  caught  in  chemistry's  retort  than  from  starry 
worlds  impaled  upon  the  lens  of  astronomy.  Not  in  whirlwind,  earth- 
quake, or  fire,  but  in  a  still  small  voice,  the  prophet  heard  the  word  of 
revelation.  And  to  the  great  Mystery  of  Life,  to  us  seemingly  inscru- 
table and  far-away,  may  we  not  find  a  key  in  the  sanctuary  of  human 
life,  intimately  near  us,  which  unfolds  its  mystery  under  our  very  eyes? 

These  thoughts  spring  out  of  a  scrap-book,  whose  study  of  late  has 
greatly  fascinated  me, — a  scrap-book  of  newspaper  clippings,  from 
whose  rude  mosaic  I  have  been  able  to  spell  out  the  chronicles  of  one 
of  the  most  interesting  and  inspiring  episodes  in  the  dramatic  history 
of  the  country.  I  am  going  to  share  this  story  with  the  readers  of  The 
Journal  of  American  History,  and  shall  let  them  gather  it,  pretty  much 
as  I  have  done,  out  of  clippings  from  the  daily  papers  of  one  of  our 
large  American  cities. 

Thus,  instead  of  giving  this  article  the  title  I  have  written  at  its 
head,  I  might  have  called  it  "Revelations  of  a  Scrap-Book,"  or  "Story 
of  a  Remarkable  Contribution  to  Dramatic  Art  in  an  American  City 
Told  by  the  Newspaper  Clippings  in  a  Scrap-Book,"  or  "Views  in  a 
Newspaper  Kaleidoscope  of  a  Temple  of  Art  Created  Out  of  a 
Woman's  Generosity  and  Beautiful  Ideals."  The  woman  was  Mrs. 
Mary  Elizabeth  Wieting — now  Mrs.  Melville  Augustus  Johnson.  The 
scene  of  her  notable  work  was  the  City  of  Syracuse,  New  York. 

With  the  help  of  our  book  of  clippings,  let  us  now  put  ourselves  in 
the  place  of  an  old  resident  of  that  City.  It  is  the  morning  of  Sep- 
tember 3rd,  1896,  and  we  have  just  come  down  to  breakfast.  Lying 
beside  our  plate  is  the  morning  paper — let  us  say  the  Syracuse  Stand- 
ard. Before  taking  it  up  a  chain  of  pleasant  anticipation  runs  lightly 
through  the  mind.  Next  week  the  "season"  will  begin ;  we  wonder  who 
is  to  open  the  Wieting  Opera  House  on  Monday  night.  Then  we  pick 
up  the  Standard  and  with  amazement  confront  these  flaring  headlines :

The  History  of  the  Theatre 


Last  Night  Marked  Its  Total  Destruction  by  Fire  for  the  Third  Time 

Breakfast  is  forgotten.    We  slip  into  a  chair  and  with  crowding 
sensations  try  to  take  in  the  following  account : 

Wieting  opera  house,  with  its  costly  curtains  and  scenery  and  elaborate  fixtures,  which 
was  to  have  opened  for  the  season  next  week,  was  totally  destroyed  by  fire  at  an  early  hour 
this  morning.  For  more  than  an  hour  the  sky  for  miles  around  was  illuminated  by  the  bril- 
liant shafts  of  flame  as  they  shot  up  into  the  heavens.  Box  No.  15,  at  the  corner  of  North 
Salina  street  and  Clinton  square,  had  been  sounded,  and  that,  with  the  general  alarm  which 
soon  followed,  was  sufficient  to  call  hundreds  of  citizens  from  their  beds.  The  streets  were 
literally  jammed  with  people  who  in  the  brief  space  of  an  hour  witnessed  a  fire  that  for  spec- 
tacular grandeur  and  speedy  destruction  of  valuable  property  had  not  been  equalled  in  years. 

The  sight  was  an  imposing  one.  The  mountains  of  flame  that  loomed  up  from  the  roof 
of  the  theatre  seemed  to  embrace  the  area  of  the  entire  building  almost  from  the  start,  and 
it  was  certain  that  nothing  could  save  the  opera  house  from  total  destruction. 

The  first  alarm,  which  was  sent  in  at  I  '.48  o'clock,  was  from  the  central  telephone  office, 
located  in  the  Wieting  block.  The  night  operator,  while  sitting  at  the  switchboard,  discov- 
ered flames  shooting  up  from  the  rear  of  the  opera  house.  She  immediately  sounded  a  tele- 
phone call.  Almost  simultaneously  Box  No.  15  was  pulled  by  the  officer  on  the  beat,  who 
saw  a  mass  of  flames  shoot  into  the  air  from  the  rear  of  the  theatre.  Upon  the  arrival  of 
the  fire  Chief,  a  few  minutes  later,  a  third,  and,  later,  a  general  alarm  was  sent  in,  calling 
every  engine  in  the  city  to  the  scene.  The  engines  were  forced  to  their  highest  pressure  and 
did  heroic  work. 

At  2  :os  o'clock  a  stream  from  the  water  tower,  which  had  been  stationed  directly  in 
front  of  the  main  entrance,  was  brought  to  bear  on  the  doomed  opera  house.  A  dozen  or 
more  streams  from  the  seven  engines  played  upon  the  conflagration,  but  for  over  an  hour 
appeared  to  have  little  effect. 

At  2:15  o'clock  the  fire,  burning  down  the  roof  at  the  front  of  the  building,  had  reached 
the  ground  floor.  The  immense  galleries  fell  with  a  crash,  and,  owing  to  the  strong  wind 
which  was  blowing  at  the  time,  the  large  auditorium  was  turned  .into  a  caldron  of  flame. 
The  outer  wall,  which  is  several  feet  thick  and  constructed  entirely  of  brick,  stood  firm,  al- 
though the  huge  cornices  were  loosened  and  toppled  with  a  crash  to  the  pavement. 

Just  how  the  fire  started  is  a  mystery.    It  was  first  discovered  in  the  rear  of  the  opera 

[563] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

house,  and  before  it  burst  tbrough  the  roof  it  had  gained  great  headway.  The  interior  of 
the  theatre  was  instantly  a  fiery  furnace  and  soon  lay  a  smoldering  mass  of  ruins,  charred 
and  unrecognizable. 

Fascinated  by  the  sudden  calamity,  and  realizing  what  the  de- 
struction of  this  famous  house  means  to  the  whole  City  of  Syracuse, 
we  send  out  for  another  newspaper,  and  find  the  following  paragraph 
in  the  Post : 

When  the  cupola  fell  a  cloud  of  sparks  went  up  fully  one  hundred  feet  into  the  air. 
They  were  blown  over  the  Erie  Canal  and  into  Clinton  square,  lighting  up  the  thousands 
of  spectators  who  had  gathered,  as  if  springing  from  the  ground.  Police  and  firemen  had 
to  keep  watch  of  the  buildings  north  of  the  canal  to  prevent  stray  sparks  from  causing  seri- 
ous results.  The  walls  held  intact  and  made  a  chimney  for  the  flames. 

To  understand  the  significance  to  Syracuse  of  this  morning's 
startling  news  we  must  recall  the  span  of  a  half-century,  during  which 
this  city  has  held  a  place  of  peculiar  honor  in  the  development  of  dra- 
matic art  in  America.  How  many  anxious  managers  have  staged  their 
first  performances  in  hospitable  Syracuse!  How  many  creations  of 
playwright  and  composer  here  were  launched  into  great  successes ! 
What  an  array  of  the  famous  artists  of  all  lands  have  played  and  sung 
to  Syracuse,  in  many  cases  opening  here  with  the  unreasoning  nervous 
fear  and  the  sinking  of  the  spirit  that  always  haunt  the  "first  night !" 

Moreover,  all  these  dramatic  associations  have  centred  about  one 
building,  or  succession  of  buildings,  whose  site  this  morning  lies  in 
ruin.  Indeed,  to  the  great  company  of  Thespians,  whose  book  of  mem- 
ories holds  a  golden  folio  for  Syracuse,  where  the  familiar  boards  their 
"sock  and  buskin"  have  so  often  trod,  Syracuse  is  the  Wieting  Opera 
House,  and  the  Opera  House  is  Syracuse.  And  to  the  artists  of  Amer- 
ica, as  the  telegraph  flashes  the  tidings  over  the  whole  land,  and  from 
the  morning  headlines  of  the  daily  press  scattered  thousands  every- 
where learn  of  the  destruction  of  the  historic  theatre  with  which  so 
many  of  them  have  fond  associations,  will  Syracuse  without  its  Opera 
House  be  conceivable  ? 

The  stranger  in  Syracuse,  walking  through  this  town  just  before 
the  fire  and  unaware  of  the  cordial  support  it  long  has  given  to  the 
stage,  might  have  felt  surprise  in  discovering  here  one  of  the  largest, 
best  constructed,  and  best  appointed  buildings  for  dramatic  art  in 
America.  And  he  would  have  been  even  more  amazed  to  recognize  in 
this  ample  theatrical  building  a  house  with  an  interesting  genealogical 
history — a  structure  in  the  third  generation  of  an  honorable  line  of 
descent,  the  grandchild  of  the  old  Wieting  Hall,  born  in  Syracuse  in 
1851,  and  burned  to  the  ground  on  the  night  of  the  5th  of  January, 
1856. 

[564] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

The  fame  of  Syracuse  with  the  world  of  players  began  in  connec- 
tion with  the  original  Wieting  Hall  of  1851,  and  was  continued  in 
association  with  the  new  and  larger  house,  which  soon  arose  from  the 
ashes  of  the  first.  This  second  building,  presently  experiencing  exten- 
sive remodelling  and  enlargement,  received  the  name  of  the  Wieting 
Opera  House,  under  which  it  became  known  far  and  wide  throughout 
the  country,  until,  on  the  23rd  of  March,  1881,  to  the  dismay  of  a  wide 
circle,  this  theatre  in  turn  passed  away  in  a  second  and  more  ruinous 
conflagration. 

But  presently — much  larger  and  in  all  other  respects  greatly  sur- 
passing its  predecessors — a  new  opera  house  stood  up  in  the  place  of  so 
many  associations.  It  was  the  third  Wieting  building,  devoted  to 
dramatic  art,  to  occupy  the  original  site,  and  the  second  to  arise  phoe- 
nix-like out  of  its  own  ashes — to  perpetuate  the  old  traditions  and  ac- 
quire new  renown  under  the  name  of  the  Wieting  Opera  House. 

This  third  house,  the  account  of  whose  sudden  destruction  by  this 
third  and  greatest  Wieting  fire  has  just  startled  us  out  of  the  pages  of 
our  morning  paper,  was  completed  and  opened  to  the  public  in  Septem- 
ber, 1882,  with  beautiful  Rhea  as  Juliet. 

The  building  was  a  triumph  of  theatrical  art,  seating  1,200  per- 
sons, with  superior  acoustics,  pleasing  decorations,  substantial  fittings, 
and  excellent  stage  equipment.  It  was  sought  by  stars  of  the  first 
magnitude,  and  the  greatest  attractions  in  the  country  appeared  here 
in  brilliant  succession.  It  would  be  interesting  to  call  to  mind  the  plays 
and  players,  the  operas  and  singers,  heard  in  this  house  between  its 
opening  night,  in  September,  1882,  and  our  fateful  morning  of  Sep- 
tember 3rd,  1896.  Such  a  review  would  be  almost  like  the  passing 
pageant  of  fourteen  years  of  the  world's  dramatic  art.  But  we  cannot 
dwell  on  the  past,  which  the  fire  of  this  morning  has  now  terminated, 
although  some  typical  autograph  appreciations  of  the  devastated 
house,  by  a  few  of  the  renowned  players  and  singers  who  distinguished 
its  stage  and  thrilled  its  audiences,  are  reproduced  with  this  article. 

It  is  natural,  sitting  at  our  breakfast  table,  to  attempt  to  fathom 
the  consternation  of  a  whole  city  over  this  third  burning  down  of  its 
chief  and  much-loved  play-house.  But  what  of  the  one  soul  most  in- 
tensely concerned  in  its  fate? 

All  day  long  Syracuse  is  agitated  by  its  one  topic  of  thought  and 
conversation.  Half  the  population  of  the  town  makes  its  way  to  the 
scene  of  the  ruin,  ruefully  to  gaze  upon  the  charred  and  desolate 
wreck.  But  what  of  the  soul  of  the  woman  whose  property  is  swal- 

[565] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

lowed  up — the  owner — Syracuse's  devoted  patron  of  the  drama,  whose 
house  of  art,  maintained  and  frequently  embellished  for  the  pleasure 
and  culture  of  the  city,  is  no  more? 

During  the  night  and  morning  of  the  fire,  Mrs.  Wieting,  the 
owner  of  the  Opera  House,  slept  without  warning  or  premonition.  At 
length,  without  an  inkling  of  anything  unusual,  she  took  up  her  tel- 
ephone at  the  remorseless  summons  of  the  ubiquitous  reporter. 

"Is  this  Mrs.  Wieting?" 

"Yes." 

"Are  you  going  to  rebuild  the  Opera  House  ?" 

This  is  how  the  tidings  came  confusedly  crashing  into  the  dazed 
mind  of  the  public-spirited  woman  whose  historic  property,  in  which 
she  took  so  great  an  interest,  had  been  utterly  consumed.  One  can 
imagine  her  reply,  as  soon  as  she  could  make  one. 

"What  is  it  ?    What  do  you  mean  ?    What  has  happened  ?" 

"Why,  don't  you  know  that  your  Opera  House  burned  down  to  the 
ground  this  morning?" 

And  so  she  knew,  without  a  merciful  word  of  tactful  prepara- 
tion. It  is  safe  to  say  that  the  enterprising  newspaper  man,  who  so 
abruptly  overwhelmed  her,  did  not  that  morning  get  a  very  satisfac- 
tory interview  concerning  the  rebuilding  of  the  Opera  House.  Never- 
theless, the  entire  city  had  upon  its  heart  and  lips  the  same  inquiry  put 
by  the  reporter.  In  the  Journal  of  September  3,  the  very  day  of  the 
fire,  the  community's  anxious  questioning  found  a  voice : 

Mrs.  Wieting  was  almost  prostrated  by  the  news  of  the  burning  of  the  theatre.  The 
maintenance  of  the  opera  house  and  its  refurnishing  last  year  was  one  of  her  contributions 
to  art.  That  it  now  lies  in  ruins  is  a  severe  blow.  Of  its  rebuilding  nothing  can  be  said 
now.  That  is  a  subject  for  the  future — yet  Syracuse  without  its  Wieting  opera  house 
would  be  sad  to  note.  In  an  opera  house  it  is  not  the  financial  return  that  is  expected ;  it 
is  rather  the  aid  and  help  given  to  a  noble  art  While  it  cannot  be  stated  today  what  Mrs. 
Wieting's  plans  will  be,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the  Wieting  opera  house  will  rise  again  in 
a  spot  which  seems  almost  sacred  to  Thespis. 

On  the  next  day  the  Standard  and  the  Post  both  similarly  ven- 
tured to  express  the  hopes  and  desire  of  the  people.  "This  community 
will  be  sincere  in  sympathizing  with  Mrs.  Wieting  at  this  time,"  said 
the  Standard.  "Admitedly  the  rebuilding  of  the  property,  which  went 
down  in  ruins  yesterday  morning,  would  be  an  undertaking  likely 'to 
dismay  most  women,  especially  as  she  will  be  called  on  to  determine 
what  the  character  of  the  new  structure  shall  be.  But  whatever  her 
final  decision  is,  it  will  doubtless  be  reached  with  due  regard  to  public 
necessity  and  with  an  abiding  faith  in  the  future  of  Syracuse." 

"All  day  yesterday,"  said  the  Post,  "the  scene  of  the  Wieting 

[566] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

Opera  House  fire  was  visited  by  curious  throngs,  eager  to  catch  a 
glimpse  of  the  ruins,  to  exchange  reminiscences  of  former  fires  and  to 
speculate  upon  the  chances  of  a  speedy  rebuilding.  The  falling  rain 
made  the  blackened  ruins  a  dreary  sight,  and  the  memories  surround- 
ing the  histrionic  temple  gave  the  scene  a  peculiar  interest. 

"Mrs.  Wieting,  owner  of  the  property,  could  make  public  no  plans 
yesterday  regarding  the  rebuilding  of  the  theatre.  It  is  understood, 
however,  that  for  the  third  time  the  Wieting  will  rise  from  ruins,  in 
this  instance  more  grand  than  ever." 

She  had  made  no  announcement,  so  that  the  confident  newspaper 
predictions  of  what  she  would  do  for  Syracuse  had  their  sole  justifica- 
tion in  the  ardent  desire  and  instinctive  faith  of  the  Editors,  and  in  the 
expectancy  of  the  whole  community  which  they  expressed.  In  some 
such  way,  I  judge,  the  need  of  mankind  instinctively  leans  upon  the 
Architect  of  all  things,  faith's  existence  being  the  prophet  and  assur- 
ance of  a  response. 

All  vain  I  find  my  attempts  to  imagine  Mrs.  Wieting's  dismay  as 
she  looked  for  the  first  time  upon  the  mangled  wreck  of  her  famous 
theatre.  We  know  that  her  courage  was  put  to  a  great  test,  as  she 
gazed  at  the  smoking  ruin  with  the  question  concerning  rebuilding 
already  agitating  her.  The  preceding  fires,  burning  much  smaller 
houses,  had  raised  no  tremendous  problem  like  that  confronting  her, 
which,  if  solved,  must  be  patiently  worked  out  solely  by  one  woman. 

As  our  scrapbook  of  newspaper  clippings  bears  witness,  she  had 
maintained  a  great  and  very  public-spirited  interest  in  the  burned  Op- 
era House,  lavishing  large  sums  in  decorating  and  equipping  it,  down 
to  the  season  just  before  the  fire  occurred.  Now  it  all  lay  crumpled 
at  her  feet,  as  if  it  had  never  been,  a  creation  of  order  and  beauty  re- 
turned to  chaos.  Out  of  the  dark  and  tumbled  mass,  without  form  and 
void,  would  a  new  and  fairer  creation  issue  forth  ?  Probably  not  even 
her  spirit,  brooding  over  the  ruin,  could  at  this  time  tell. 

Her  first  step  was  to  send  a  generous  cheque  to  the  firemen  who 
had  labored  so  strenuously  to  save  the  beloved  building.  Her  next  act 
was  to  set  men  to  work  to  clear  away  the  debris  from  the  historic  site. 
All  that  passed  through  her  heart  and  mind  during  this  period  of  gath- 
ering resolution  perhaps  she  herself  could  not  begin  to  recount.  She 
was  contemplating  the  possibility  of  replacing  the  structure,  her  cour- 
age gaining  poise  and  accumulating  strength. 

Meanwhile  Syracuse  and  the  Thespian  world  were  on  tenterhooks 
of  doubt  and  expectation.  "There  will  be  a  handsome  new  theatre  in 

[567] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

Syracuse,"  the  Herald  of  that  city  prophesied  on  September  18,  "even 
more  magnificent  than  the  theatre  destroyed  by  fire.  It  will  be  larger 
in  stage  and  auditorium ;  it  will  have  the  benefit  of  all  modern  im- 
provements; its  building  will  be  planned  and  supervised  by  eminent 
architects  and  workmen."  But  all  this  was  entirely  premature,  the 
wish  being  a  very  anxious  father  to  the  thought. 

"It  is  somewhat  unsettled  whether  the  famous  old  historical  Op- 
era 'House,  the  Wieting,  will  be  rebuilt,"  said  the  mouthpiece  of  stage- 
dom,  the  New  York  Dramatic  Mirror,  of  November  7,  1896.  "Mrs. 
Wieting  is  a  great  traveler,  having  visited  almost  every  city  in  the 
world,  and  in  so  doing  has  seen  all  the  great  theatres,  and  being  a  close 
student  of  art,  should  she  conclude  to  build,  would  no  doubt  eclipse 
anything  in  that  line  seen  in  this  country.  If  she  decides  to  rebuild,  it 
will  be  a  monument  to  her  memory  and  dramatic  art,  rather  than  a 
financial  investment.  The  great  army  of  traveling  Thespians  vie  with 
the  public  of  Syracuse  in  hoping  that  she  will  rebuild  the  famous 
amusement  temple." 

In  January  expectation  was  fully  revived  by  the  appearance  in 
Syracuse  of  Mr.  Oscar  Cobb,  theatrical  architect  of  Chicago  and  the 
designer  of  the  burned  Opera  House ;  and  every  encouragement  to 
good  works  that  newspaper  men  could  think  of  promptly  issued  from 
the  editorial  sanctum.  "That  Wieting  Opera  House  was  to  be  rebuilt 
and  opened  at  the  commencement  of  next  season  would  be  welcome 
news  for  the  people  of  Syracuse,"  said  the  Standard  on  the  Qth  of  Jan- 
uary. The  Journal,  of  the  same  date,  declared :  "Speculation  as  to  the 
rebuilding  of  the  Wieting  Opera  House  has  been  aroused  by  the  pres- 
ence in  town  of  Mr.  Oscar  Cobb  of  Chicago,  the  architect  of  the 
burned  opera  house.  There  are  many  personal  acquaintances  of  Mrs. 
J.  M.  Wieting  who  fully  believe  that  an  opera  house  of  greater  mag- 
nificence and  practicality  will  replace  the  old  one  and  will  bear  the 
name  of  Wieting.  They  are  the  ones  who  know  her  true  love  of  art, 
and  that  she  would  make  many  sacrifices  in  order  to  contribute  to  that 
love.  They  appreciate  what  it  really  means  to  sacrifice  a  good  busi- 
ness property  for  the  lesser  returns  of  a  domain  of  amusement,  and 
have  faith  in  their  belief." 

The  Courier  of  January  II  added  its  encouraging  voice.  "The 
probable  rebuilding  of  Wieting  Opera  House,"  it  said,  "on  the  site  of 
the  structure  which  was  burned  last  September  will  be  regarded  with 
lively  interest  by  Syracusans,  particularly  by  those  who  have  reached 
or  passed  middle  life.  For  ever  since  they  were  old  enough  to  witness 

[568] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

a  dramatic  or  musical  performance,  there  has  been  a  Wieting  Opera 
House  in  Syracuse.  Many  of  our  citizens,  who  as  children  were  taken 
by  their  parents  to  one  of  the  three  theatres  in  the  Wieting  block,  have 
in  turn  taken  their  own  children  to  Wieting  Opera  House,  and  the 
theatres  which  bore  the  name  of  Wieting  have  therefore  been  closely 
identified  with  the  institutions  of  Syracuse  for  the  past  thirty-five 
years.'' 

But  having  quietly  resolved,  if  possible,  to  undertake  unaided  the 
great  task  of  bringing  forth  a  greater  and  more  beautiful  Opera 
House,  Mrs.  Wieting  simply  took  time  to  probe  every  difficulty,  weigh 
every  possibility,  count  every  cost,  and  provide  for  every  detail.  About 
January  20  she  could  thus  permit  an  announcement  to  anxious  Syra- 
cuse which  was  neither  vague  nor  halting,  but  business-like  and 
altogether  reassuring.  "The  Journal,"  declared  that  newspaper,  "has 
the  authority  of  those  best  qualified  to  speak  that  the  Wieting  Opera 
House  is  to  be  rebuilt.  The  opening  of  the  next  theatrical  season  will 
see  the  fruition  of  the  plans  for  one  of  the  handsomest  opera  houses 
in  the  country.  It  is  proposed  by  Mrs.  Wieting  to  have  a  seating  capac- 
ity of  at  least  2,000.  To  build  such  an  opera  house  as  she  desires, 
Architect  Cobb  will  bring  his  vast  knowledge  of  European  and  Amer- 
ican theatres." 

"We  may  anticipate  a  Wieting  Opera  House,  grander  than  ever, 
to  arise  from  the  ruins  in  West  Water  Street  and  open  its  doors  to  the 
public  next  September.  It  is  well,"  said  the  Herald.  While  the  Courier 
declared:  "It  has  been  definitely  decided  by  Mrs.  Wieting  that  the 
Wieting  Opera  House,  which  was  burned  the  early  part  of  last  Sep- 
tember, will  be  rebuilt,  probably  in  time  for  the  opening  of  the  next 
theatrical  season.  This  definite  statement  will  be  hailed  with  pleasure, 
alike  by  Syracusans  and  theatrical  people  in  general.  Mr.  Cobb  had 
with  him  many  plans  for  a  new  playhouse,  but  they  did  not  come  up 
to  the  ideas  entertained  by  Mrs.  Wieting,  and  he  has  returned  to  Chi- 
cago with  instructions  to  prepare  final  plans  and  estimates. 

"The  new  Opera  House  will  be  larger  in  every  way  than  the  for- 
mer structure.  Adjoining  property  is  to  be  acquired.  Th.e  stage  will 
be  made  much  larger  than  the  one  in  the  old  building  and  will  be  made 
to  accommodate  the  most  modern  scenery  and  elaborate  stage  settings 
and  machinery." 

"Architect  Cobb,"  the  Courier  stated  a  few  days  later,  "has  made 
the  plans  for  and  constructed  more  theatres  than  any  other  human 
being  on  the  face  of  the  globe.  His  record  up  to  date  is  150  theatres. 

[569] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

Mrs.  Wieting,  however,  is  likely  to  have  ideas  of  her  own  in  the  con- 
struction of  her  new  theatre,  which  is  to  be  made  absolutely  fire-proof. 
She  has  travelled  very  extensively  in  foreign  countries  and  visited  the 
splendid  theatres  in  all  the  leading  capitals  of  Europe,  and  the  results 
of  her  observation  and  judgment  are  likely  to  be  incorporated  in  the 
architecture,  construction,  and  ornamentation  of  her  new  theatre." 

From  this  time  on,  every  phase  revealed  in  the  rapidly  developing 
plans,  and  every  item  of  the  arrangements  proposed  for  the  adornment 
of  the  house,  were  hailed  with  deepening  interest  and  profound  satis- 
faction. Over  the  old  ruin  a  magical  work  of  new  creation  was  under 
way,  and  every  beam  was  laid  amid  a  chorus  of  congratulation.  The 
newspapers  were  the  choristers,  leading  the  voice  of  comment  of  a 
rejoicing  city.  "Mrs.  Wieting  has  entered  upon  the  scheme  with  great 
care  and  study,"  the  Herald  said.  "She  is  keeping  her  promise  to  give 
the  city  one  of  the  finest  playhouses  on  this  continent.  She  is,  there- 
fore, deserving  of  the  fullest  praise  of  the  people  of  this  city."  "It 
has  been  her  ambition  to  give  to  Syracuse  one  of  the  finest  theatres 
in  America,"  said  the  Post.  "She  is  actuated,"  the  Courier  declared, 
"not  so  much  by  a  desire  to  benefit  in  a  monetary  or  a  commercial 
sense,  as  by  a  determination  to  give  Syracuse  an  opera  house  worthy 
of  the  demands  of  the  city.  There  are  very  few  people  in  Syracuse 
who  have  done  or  who  will  do  more  for  the  city." 

Said  the  Courier  again :  "An  inspection  of  the  plans  shows  that 
it  will  be  one  of  the  finest  theatres,  not  alone  in  this  country,  but  in  the 
world.  Mrs.  Wieting  herself  has  made  many  suggestions  regarding 
the  new  structure,  and  her  artistic  taste  will  be  largely  exemplified  in 
the  ornamentation  and  adornment  of  the  new  opera  house. 

"The  interior  will  be  constructed  of  iron  and  steel.  There  will  be 
no  boxes  on  the  first  or  orchestra  floor,  but  the  entire  space  will  be 
given  over  to  commodious  orchestra  chairs.  An  innovation  will  be 
made  in  the  construction  of  an  entresol  or  half  balcony — which  will  be 
one  of  the  most  novel  and  striking  features  of  the  new  opera  house. 
The  entresol  will  be  provided  with  divans,  seating  two  persons,  and 
Turkish  divans  will  surround  the  columns.  In  the  rear  of  the  divans 
will  be  ample  space  for  a  promenade,  and  off  from  the  entresol  will  be 
located  retiring  rooms,  cloak  rooms,  smoking  rooms,  and  flower 
rooms. 

"This  entresol  will  be  the  fashionable  centre  of  attraction.  A 
great  deal  of  space  that  could  be  utilized  for  seats  is  sacrificed  to  make 
room  for  a  grand  promenade  foyer  for  the  accommodation  of  the 

[570] 


A  NOTABLE- ACHIEVEMENT 

patrons  of  the  house, — something  entirely  new  and  greatly  to  be  de- 
sired. There  are  but  three  tiers  of  seats  in  the  entresol,  the  foyer 
occupying  all  the  rest  of  the  floor  to  the  front  wall.  Over  the  lobby 
there  will  be  an  opening,  making  the  lobby  and  foyer  practically  in 
one.  About  this  opening  there  will  be  a  balustrade,  and  the  promenade 
will  extend  entirely  around  it. 

''The  balcony  will  be  located  in  the  second  story  proper,  will  be 
spacious  and  roomy,  and  will  be  provided  with  the  best  seats  in  the 
country.  In  the  third  story  is  located  the  gallery  proper. 

"In  the  arrangement  of  its  lights  the  new  -Wieting  promises  to 
surpass  every  theatre  in  the  country.  The  great  advancement  in  elec- 
tric lighting  from  a  decorative  standpoint  is  turned  to  account  all  over 
the  house.  The  ceilings  of  the  lobby  and  the  foyer  will  be  studded 
with  electric  lights  like  stars.  Each  one  of  the  steel  panels  of  the  main 
ceiling  will  be  illuminated,  and  the  mouldings  of  the  boxes  will  be 
similarly  treated.  There  will  be  no  glare  or  blaze  of  light,  but  perfect 
illumination  in  harmony  with  the  artistic  interior." 

Again  we  learn  that  "the  new  Wieting  will  be  filled  with  improve- 
ments to  delight  the  eye  and  minister  to  the  comfort  of  its  patrons. 
The  grand  lobby  will  be  panelled  in  Sienna  marble,  with  a  mosaic  floor 
and  ceiling."  Another  newspaper  announced  that  "the  style  of  the 
auditorium  will  be  Italian  renaissance  and  Louis  XV  modernized, 
while  the  ornamentations  will  be  in  the  style  of  the  first  Empire." 

The  New  York  Dramatic  Mirror  kept  the  Thespian  world  in- 
formed of  "the  new  Wieting  Opera  House,  Syracuse,  now  being 
erected.  When  completed,"  it  declared,  "this  house  promises  to  be  one 
of  the  most  elegant  amusement  resorts  in  America.  Every  detail  of 
its  construction  is  being  looked  after  by  its  sole  owner,  Mrs.  Mary 
Elizabeth  Wieting,  who  will  dedicate  it  to  art  and  the  dramatic  pro- 
fession as  a  lasting  monument  to  her  name."  A  little  later  it 
announced:  "Phoenix-like,  this  famous  historical  amusement  resort 
has  risen  from  the  ashes  and  will  stand  as  a  monument  to  its  builder, 
as  the  handsomest  amusement  resort  on  the  American  continent,  the 
only  strictly  first-class  house  in  the  city,  with  a  seating  capacity  a  third 
more  than  the  largest  other  theatre  between  New  York  and  Chicago." 

I  do  not  know  what  dreams  were  destroyed,  what  life-plans  were 
cancelled  or  altered,  when  Mrs.  Wieting  dedicated  herself  to  the  crea- 
tion of  her  new  Opera  House.  Certainly  the  destruction  of  the  old, 
and  the  need  for  the  new  house,  came  upon  her  suddenly,  without  fore- 
warning. This  coming  event  cast  no  shadow  before.  Whatever  other 

[57i] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

great  work  she  may  have  projected,  an  unexpected  task  imperatively 
called  her,  and  she  achieved  the  work  out  of  the  rich  capacity  which 
her  entire  life  had  gradually  gathered  together  for  its  purpose.  When 
she  accepted  the  labor,  she  threw  herself  into  its  accomplishment  with 
the  noble  generosity  of  a  devoted  soul.  There  is  no  evidence  that  she 
could  have  been  more  zealous  had  her  whole  life  been  conscious  of 
preparation  for  this  work. 

We  are  what  we  have  become.  A  call  comes  to  us ;  our  faculties, 
our  gifts,  our  resources,  are  requisitioned.  Too  often  we  fail  through 
lack  of  courage,  or  absence  of  the  energy  of  unselfishness.  Sometimes 
we  respond,  as  Mrs.  Wieting  did,  and  taste  achievement  triumphant 
as  hers. 

Women  and  men  have  written  of  the  .exquisite  pleasure  of  build- 
ing a  home — of  measuring  one's  dreams,  projecting  them  in  architect- 
ural design,  and  watching  them  grow  to  material  form.  But  how  often 
is  it  given  to  a  woman  to  create  a  great  public  work?  If  Mrs.  Wieting 
should  write  her  sensations,  her  joy,  her  fears,  her  pleasures,  her  vex- 
ations, as  her  great  conception  began  to  take  shape  in  mind  and  heart, 
to  define  itself  in  plans  and  drawings,  to  grow  into  the  strength  of 
steel  and  iron,  and  to  reveal  itself  in  beauty  of  form  and  color,  her 
experience  would  make  an  intensely  interesting  human  document. 

A  woman's  soul  was  expressing  itself  in  the  creation  of  this  house, 
and  as  the  work  progressed  and  took  beautiful  shape  some  sense  of  this, 
—of  the  revelation  of  spirit-character  in  this  work  of  mind  and  heart,— 
began  to  dawn  even  upon  the  matter-of-fact  newspaper  man.  "The 
problem  whether  women  are  as  capable  of  transacting  business,  man- 
aging large  enterprises  of  commercial  or  industrial  character,  has  been 
satisfactorily  demonstrated  in  Syracuse,"  said  the  Standard,  early  in 
July.  "Syracuse  women  of  prominence  have  built  large  blocks  and 
apartment  houses,  and,  in  one  notable  instance,  at  least,  constructed 
and  controlled  an  opera  house.  Mrs.  Wieting,  in  the  management  of 
the  large  estate  entrusted  to  her  care,  has  demonstrated  the  possession 
of  very  rare  business  ability  and  executive  capacity.  Both  in  the  recon- 
struction and  the  ornamentation  of  the  theatre  that  burned  a  year  ago, 
and  of  the  splendid  temple  of  the  drama  being  erected  to  take  its  place, 
she  held  the  guiding  and  executive  hand.  While  to  the  architect, 
builders,  and  designers  are  left  the  carrying  out  of  the  details  of  con- 
struction and  ornamentation,  yet  all  features  are  submitted  to  her  and 
must  gain  her  approval  before  their  adoption.  She  exercises  the  same 
care  and  supervision  over  her  large  estate,  and  at  the  same  time  finds 

[572]

opportunity  for  travel  and  for  literary  pursuits,  such  as  few  citizens 
avail  themselves  of." 

As  the  Opera  House  approached  completion,  disclosing  glories  of 
structure,  plan,  and  decoration  far  surpassing  expectation,  its  details 
were  celebrated  in  a  constant  chant  of  praise  in  the  newspapers.  We 
here  can  do  little  more  than  give  a  very  faint  suggestion  from  the  head- 
lines :  "Best  in  the  Land,"  "Triumph  of  Builders'  Art,"  "Its  Scenic 
Beauty,"  "Interior  of  the  Magnificent  New  Playhouse  Begins  to  As- 
sume Its  Form,"  "Surprises  for  Syracusans  in  the  Opening,"  "Finest 
of  Playhouses,"  "Its  Beauty  Spots,"  "The  New  Wieting  Richly  Decor- 
ated," "Final  Artistic  Touches,"  "The  Opera  House  Is  a  Marvel  of 
Beauty,"  "One  of  the  Grandest  Theatres  in  This  Country,"  "Mrs. 
Wieting  Has  Suggested  Various  Changes  Which  Have  Added  to  the 
Beauty  and  Convenience  of  the  House,"  "Lights  and  Decorations  All 
Unite  in  Making  the  General  Interior  Effect  More  Pleasing  Than 
Ever  Before  Attempted  Here,"  "System  of  Ventilation  Is  Perfect  and 
Will  Make  the  Theatre  Comfortable  Even  in  Spectacular  Plays."  I 
add  a  few  typical  extracts,  in  hope  of  conveying  some  idea  of  the  im- 
pression made  upon  an  entire  city  by  this  beautiful  gift  of  a  house  of 
art: 

The  interior  effects  are  beginning  to  show  the  most  artistic  colorings.  The  asbestos 
curtain  arrived  this  morning.  Word  has  been  received  from  Mr.  Hugh  Logan  Reid,  the 
artist,  that  the  drop  curtain  will  be  finished  at  least  a  week  before  the  Opera  House  opening. 
He  says  that  he  has  painted  thirty-seven  curtains,  and  this  is  the  largest  he  has  ever  worked 
upon.  Mr.  Otto  H.  Armbruster,  the  scenic  artist  of  New  York,  is  loud  in  his  praises  of  the 
size  of  the  stage.  He  says  it  is  the  largest  he  has  ever  painted  scenery  for,  and  is  complete 
in  every  way.  There  is  width,  height,  and  room  to  handle  any  New  York  production.  The 
panels  for  the  proscenium  arch  have  arrived  here,  and  will  soon  be  placed.  They  are  in 
keeping  with  the  taste  shown  throughout  the  building,  in  the  selection  of  subjects  and 
artists.  . 

The  new  Wieting  Opera  House,  the  finest  in  the'land,  they  say,  will  be  formally  opened 
one  week  from  Wednesday.  The  opera  house  will  be  as  large  as  the  largest  New  York 
theatre;  and  it  will  differ  from  every  New  York  theatre  in  one  important  feature — the 
entresol.  The  glories  of  the  new  theatre  are  already  apparent.  . 

A  press  view  of  the  house,  with  all  the  lights  turned  on,  was  given  th/ough  the  courtesy 
of  Mrs.  Wieting  last  evening.  The  effect  of  the  theatre  under  the  strong  light  is  most 
resplendent.  . 

The  verandah  is  lighted  with  170  electric  lamps  and  signs.  The  windows  are  of  plate 
and  stained  glass,  prettily  ornamented.  The  entrance  doors  of  copper  lead  to  a  lobby  or 
vestibule  that  is  a  positive  revelation,  and  will  give  the  spectator  an  appetite  for  the  beauties 
of  the  interior.  It  is  floored  with  Italian  mosaic  tile.  The  color  effect  is  a  beautiful  shade 
of  green,  with  silver  relief,  the  walls  being  of  marble.  An  opening  above  gives  a  glimpse 
of  the  entresol  ceiling,  which  is  resplendent  with  electric  lights  and  jewels.  . 

The  garniture  of  the  house  is  in  excellent  taste,  Mrs.  Wieting  having  selected  the  colors 
and  quality  throughout.  The  draperies  are  in  silk  and  velvet  of  various  hues,  richly  har- 
monized. . 

The  color-scheme  carried  out  in  the  wall  decorations  and  draperies  is  rich  in  its  com- 
bination. Gold  and  rose  are  the  predominant  colors,  and,  beautiful  as  the  combination  is 
ly  itself,  it  is  made  royal  under  the  influence  of  hundreds  of  softly  blended  lights.  Beyond 

[573] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

the  foyer,  on  the  main  floor,  the  full  beauty  of  the  interior  reveals  itself.  The  place  will  be 
gorgeous  in  rose  and  gold.  The  color  and  decorations  of  the  walls,  the  graceful  drapings 
of  the  rich  material  used  in  the  hangings,  the  grand  draperies  of  the  proscenium  arch, 
which  are  a  beautiful  combination  of  old  gold  and  rose,  all  go  to  make  up  a  beautiful  scene. 
The  carpets  on  the  main  floor,  back  of  the  seats  and  in  the  aisles,  are  of  a  dark  rose  color, 
while  the  seats  are  upholstered  in  moss  green  plush.  . 

Mrs.  Mary  E.  Wieting,  the  sole  owner  of  the  new  Wieting  Opera  House,  has  set  forth 
every  possible  effort  to  erect  a  theatre  that  would  not  only  prove  handsome,  elegant,  and 
convenient,  but  please  the  public.  The  original  plans,  from  time  to  time,  have  been  materially 
altered,  and  alterations  which  she  suggested  have  been  made  to  advantage.  . 

It  would  be  easy  to  start  a  turgid  flow  of  rapturous  adjectives  descriptive  of  the  new 
Wieting  Opera  House,  which  with  to-night's  opening  again  becomes  a  function  of  Syracuse, — 
say,  rather,  a  continuation  of  a  historic  theatre,  the  course  of  which  has  so  often  been 
interrupted  by  fire.  But  of  what  profit?  Every  visitor  to  the  opera  house  this  evening  will 
be  more  or  less  surprised,  the  degree  of  surprise  dependent  entirely  upon  taste.  Fire  has 
accomplished  more  than  clarification ;  it  has  given  Syracuse  a  theatre  that  is  not  only  up  to 
date,  but  ahead  of  the  time.  How  far  ahead  is  to  be  gauged  by  public  taste,  and  the  imi- 
tation in  other  theatres,  for  public  benefit,  of  decided  innovations  accomplished  in  this. 

Is  the  entresol  ahead  of  the  time?  Syracuse  society  must  in  a  measure  be  responsible 
for  the  decision.  If  it  takes  to  and  appreciates  this  delightful  tete-i-tete  and  family  affair, 
other  cities  will  venture  upon  the  idea. 

The  whole  effect  of  the  theatre  is  quiet,  studiously  so,  the  light  reflections  and  coloring 
comprehending  the  merging  of  orange  and  buff  with  a  heavier  basis  which  is  almost  a  nature 
copy  for  its  greens  and  deep  red  blossom  colors.  It  is  an  effect  often  sought  in  a  gallery 
for  the  better  study  of  a  picture, — and  why  not  in  a  theatre,  if  a  theatre  is  but  primarily  the 
setting  of  animated  pictures? 

Just  a  word  as  to  foyer  and  auditorium.  The  vestibule  is  floored  in  Italian  mosaic  tile, 
the  theatre  name  surrounding  a  design,  the  burden  of  which  is  music.  Wainscoted  with 
vert  antique  marble,  with  also  green  base  and  brackets,  the  effect  is  resplendent  and  heavy. 
Right  over  the  vestibule  is  an  artistic  opening  to  the  entresol  promenade,  which  gives  a  balcony 
effect  and  should  prove  a  feature.  Entrance  doors  of  copper  with  revolving  storm  doors 
are  faced  with  the  inner  doors  of  bronze.  The  opening  is  direct  upon  the  orchestra  floor, 
as  the  future  will  know  no  parquet  circle  in  the  opera  house.  The  orchestra  chairs  are 
comfortable  to  look  upon  and  to  sit  in,  and  the  colorings  are  of  a  dark  rich  green.  Two 
broad  flights  of  stairs  lead  to  the  entresol,  or  intermediate  floor  between  orchestra  and  balcony. 
These  are  heavily  carpeted.  The  cushioning  of  the  entresol  is  in  old  gold  silk  plush,  the 
first  row  being  of  single  chairs  and  the  two  rear  rows  of  double  seats  or  divans.  Sofas, 
divans,  and  mirrors  complete  an  artistic  environment.  The  entresol  tier  ends  have  six 
boxes,  the  balcony  ends  four  boxes,  and  the  gallery  ends  two  boxes.  In  the  entresol  tier 
is  located  the  special  box  of  Mrs.  Wieting,  so  arranged  that  it  may  become  a  single  or  double 
box  by  the  removal  of  rods  at  her  pleasure.  The  balcony  chairs  are  in  olive  velours  plush, 
and  the  gallery,  which  has  an  open  appearance  by  reason  of  the  arches,  contains  not  a  seat 
but  that  has  full  view  of  stage  and  orchestra.  . 

The  new  Wieting  Opera  House  is  the  tribute  to  art  of  Mrs.  J.  M.  Wieting,  a  woman 
who  has  taken  active  and  substantial  interest  in  the  city's  progress  and  its  history.  Mrs. 
Wieting  is  the  youngest  daughter  of  Hon.  Samuel  Plumb  of  Homer,  N.  Y.,  who  died  in 
Homer  December  10,  1878.  He  devoted  himself  to  the  practice  of  law  for  many  years  in 
Chenango  county,  where  he  resided  previous  tp  his  removal  to  Homer,  N.  Y.  He  was  an 
active  politician  and  devoted  io  the  old  Whig  party.  He  held  "the  office  of  postmaster  at 
Pitcher,  Chenango  county,  during  a  period  of  twenty  years.  He  was  repeatedly  elected  to 
the  office  of  justice  of  the  peace  and  various  other  public  offices.  He  was  elected  represen- 
tative to  the  State  Legislature  in  1840,  which  was  an  important  period  in  our  political  history. 
He  was  ever  a  zealous  advocate  of  all  measures  promising  advancement  to  public  interests. 
The  mother  of  Mrs.  Wieting  was  the  daughter  of  Col.  William  Coley,  whose  father  canie 
from  England  to  America  while  William  was  still  a  youth.  He  enlisted  as  a  soldier  in  the 
Revolutionary  War  while  a  mere  youth,  acquiring  the  rank  of  Colonel  in  the  Vermont  militia. 
He  was  one  of  the  company  interested  in  the  Vermont  coinage  following  the  close  of  the 
Revolutionary  War,  and  the  records  of  the  time  indicate  that  he  cut  the  dies  from  which  the 
Vermont  pennies  were  made,  having  learned  the  trade  of  silversmith  from  his  father.  He 
was  also  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Vermont  and  its  first  presiding  officer. 

[574] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

The  closing  years  of  his  life  were  spent  in  Otselic,  Chenango  county,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died  in 
November,  1843.  Mrs.  Wieting's  father  removed  to  Homer,  N.  Y.,  principally  for  the  purpose 
of  educating  his  children.  There  Mrs.  Wieting  entered  Cortland  Academy,  at  the  time  one 
of  the  leading  institutions  of  learning  in  the  country,  the  curriculum  being  most  exhaustive 
and  thorough.  She  was  graduated  with  the  highest  honors.  She  is  an  accomplished  linguist, 
speaking  French  fluently,  is  an  accurate  observer,  and  has  traveled  extensively  in  all  parts  of 
the  world.  She  is  a  frequent  contributor  to  the  press  of  Syracuse  and  to  other  papers  of  the 
State,  both  in  prose  and  poetry.  After  the  death  of  her  husband,  Dr.  J.  M.  Wieting,  she 
wrote  a  sketch  of  his  life,  together  with  a  history  of  their  tour  around  the  world,  which  was 
published  in  book  form  by  G.  P.  Putnam's  Sons  of  New  York,  solely  for  private  distribution. 
It  is  a  volume  of  250  pages,  handsomely  illustrated,  and  received  most  flattering  endorsement 
by  the  press.  A  copy  was  sent  to  the  Woman's  library  of  the  World's  Fair  at  Chicago,  and 
afterward  removed  to  the  State  Library  at  Albany-  In  the  winter  of  1893  Mrs.  Wieting  pre- 
sented to  the  College  of  Medicine  of  Syracuse  University  the  extensive  and  valuable  lecturing 
apparatus  used  by  her  husband  during  his  public  career — the  most  complete  outfit  of  the  kind 
ever  owned  in  this  country.  A  little  more  than  a  year  ago  she  donated  to  Syracuse  University 
a  three  years'  scholarship. 

And  now  at  length  it  is  Saturday  evening,  September  18,  1897, 
the  night  of  "the  opening  of  the  most  beautiful  playhouse  that  Syra- 
cuse has  ever  seen."  "The  Wedding  Day''  has  the  honor  of  the  open- 
ing performance,  a  light  opera  by  Stanislaus  Stange  and  Julian  Ed- 
wards, to  be  rendered  by  a  tri-star  company.. 

The  doors  are  open,  and  at  the  hour  the  culture,  wealth  and 
fashion  of  Syracuse  are  thronging  into  the  new  house,  rustling  into 
their  seats  and  boxes,  exclaiming,  lingering,  trying  to  take  in  the  soft 
and  amazing  beauty  of  arrangement,  form  and  color,  wreathed  around 
them.  The  effect  of  this  splendor,  for  the  first  time  felt,  we  will  let  a 
contemporaneous  newspaper  witness  attempt  to  describe: 

A  description  in  words  fails  properly  to  explain  the  magnificence  of  the  new  playhouse. 
The  Wieting  of  to-day  is  in  wonderful  contrast  with  the  old  theatre,  palatial  as  that  was. 
The  soft  toned  coloring  and  the  excellence  of  every  detail  combine  to  form  a  harmony  of 
color  and  light  that  is  attractive  in  the  extreme.  Add  to  this  the  arrangements  for  the  com- 
fort of  the  audiences,  and  the  facilities  for  producing  plays,  and  the  place  is  a  model  of  its 
kind. 

Those  who  were  frequent  patrons  of  the  former  Wieting  will  notice  at  once  the  immense 
change  that  has  taken  place,  although  the  ensemble  cannot  be  taken  in  at  a  glance,  nor  at  a 
dozen,  for  that  matter.  The  broad  expanse  of  seats,  unencumbered  with  heavy  balconies  and 
troublesome  posts,  is  something  unusual  even  in  these  days  of  ideal  theatrical  architecture. 

The  lower  floor  is  devoid  of  obstruction  and  has  a  colossal  array  of  seats ;  the  entresol 
is  without  posts  and  has  three  rows  of  as  enticing  chairs  and  sofas  as  can  be  found  in  any 
theatre  in  the  country,  with  a  luxurious  foyer  in  the  rear;  the  balcony  has  but  four  slender 
posts,  and  those  are  placed  so  that  no  person's  vision  can  be  obstructed. 

But  we  now  are  in  the  presence  of  something  far  greater  than  the 
house  itself.  The  house  is  lovely  in  its  own  right,  and  just  now  is  most 
brilliant  with  the  life  it  was  created  to  receive  and  serve.  The  record- 
ing reporter  will  next  morning  tell  us  that  "such  an  audience  has  never 
before  in  the  city's  history  graced  a  like  performance — outdoing  any 
other  assemblage  called  together  under  such  a  roof." 

[575] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

Is  not  a  beautiful  symbol  now  unfolding  itself  before  us?  A  dis- 
cerning critic  has  already  noticed,  in  the  whole  scheme  of  the  house, 
almost  a  copy  of  nature,  with  "its  greens  and  deep  red  blossom  colors." 
What,  then,  shall  we  call  it?  Garden,  miniature  world ?  And  the  life, 
which  it  was  created  to  entertain  and  develop,  has  crowded  in,  filling 
the  scene  with  animation.  It  is  not  quite  true,  as  Shakespeare  said, 
that 

"All  the  world's  a  stage, 
And  all  the  men  and  women  merely  players." 

We  also  are  audience — onlookers  from  our  respective  places  in 
boxes,  parquet,  balcony,  and  pit.  Players  and  play-goers,  all  are  at 
their  posts  to-night ;  the  stage- folk  sing ;  the  audience  listens ;  the  gar- 
den-like house  is  a-throb  with  life.  This  is  the  crowning  hour  for 
which  one  woman  planned  and  toiled  and  waited. 

And  now  the  curtain  goes  up ;  "The  Wedding  Day"  begins.  "The 
performance  was  in  keeping  with  the  occasion,"  declares  the  reporter. 
"It  was  the  offering  of  Lillian  Russell,  Delia  Fox,  and  Jefferson  De 
Angelis,  all  of  whom,  it  was  plain  to  be  seen,  were  inspired  by  the 
environment  to  uncommon  efforts." 

Under  the  intoxication  of  this  most  brilliant  of  first  nights  one 
scribe  grows  eloquently  reminiscent,  recalling  Mark  Smith  and  Laura 
Keene,  Joseph  Jefferson,  Sol  Smith  Russell,  John  Gilbert,  Osmond 
Tearle,  Rose  Coghlan,  Charles  Fechter,  George  Rignold,  "the  great 
Italian  tragedian,  Rossi,  conceded  to  be  a  greater  artist  than  Salvini," 
the  singers,  Aimee  and  Marie  Geistingers,  and  a  host  of  others  who 
played  and  sang  in  the  old  Wieting  houses. 

What  a  world  of  great  artists  have  strutted  their  brief  hours  upon  the  Wieting  stages  in 
the  past!  [he  writes.]  Perhaps  the  stage  of  no  one  theatre  in  the  country  has  witnessed  the 
efforts  of  a  greater  number  of  the  world's  geniuses  in  modern  times.  Edwin  Forrest,  in  the 
ripeness  of  his  powers,  has  been  heard  upon  this  stage  thundering  King  Lear's  curse  upon  his 
ungrateful  daughters,  and  as  Virginius  hurling  anathemas  at  the  head  of  the  Roman  decemvir 
as  he  killed  his  fair  daughter,  Virginia,  to  save  her  from  Appius  Claudius's  vile  embraces. 
Who  that  heard  Ristori  denounce  the  virgin  queen  in  Fotheringay  park  can  ever  forget  the 
powerful  invective,  the  very  acme  of  tragic  effort,  upon  this  same  stage?  Edwin  Booth's 
unrivaled  Hamlet  and  lago  have  been  seen  there,  while  E.  L.  Davenport's  Brutus  and  Damon, 
and  Lawrence  Barrett's  Cassius  will  "live  in  memory  while  it  holds  a  seat  on  this  distracted 
globe."  John  McCullough,  too,  will  live  long  in  the  hearts  of  those  who  knew  him  and  re- 
member him  fondly  for  his  fine  impersonations  of  the  legitimate  roles  of  the  drama  and  for 
his  gentle,  lovable  nature  as  well.  Upon  this  same  stage  Sarah  Bernhardt  first  thrilled  a 
Syracuse  audience  by  her  wonderful  performance  of  Camille,  and  Helena  Modjeska  acted 
there  months  before  New  York  ever  looked  on  her  and  contemplated  her  exquisite  art.  Mary 
Anderson  and  Julia  Marlowe  first  played  Parthenia  on  the  Wieting  stage,  and  the  remem- 
brance of  these  performances  can  never  be  effaced.  It  was  on  the  Wieting  stage  also  that 
Adelaide  Neilson  gave  Syracusans  the  greatest  personation  of  Shakespeare's  Rosalind  ever 
seen  by  them.  Henry  Irving  filled  an  engagement  of  three  nights  at  the  Wieting.  All  these 
-artists  were  real  geniuses.  The  comedians  of  the  world  have  also  strutted  their  hour  upon  the

THE  FORMER  WIETING  OPERA  HOUSE 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

Wieting  stage  and  some  of  them  are  seen  no  more.  There  it  was  that  Hackett,  the  immortal, 
first  played  Falstaff  in  Syracuse,  and  the  like  of  this  great  comic  creation  has  never  since 
been  seen.  There,  too,  the  elder  Sothern  presented  his  matchless  performance  of  Lord  Dun- 
dreary, and  John  L.  Toole,  the  great  English  comedian,  appeared  in  favorite  roles.  Who  that 
ever  saw  it  can  ever  forget  the  Rover  of  Edwin  Adams,  or  the  Solon  Shingle  of  John  E. 
Owens?  Long  before  their  day  John  S.  Clarke  had  convulsed  Syracuse  audiences  with  laugh- 
ter, and  C.  W.  Couldock  had  drawn  tears  from  their  eyes  as  well  as  excited  their  risibilities 
by  his  wonderful  performance  in  "The  Willow  Copse."  Of  the  great  foreign  artists  who 
have  been  seen  on  the  Wieting  stage,  next  to  Bernhardt,  the  elder  Salvini  made  the  greatest 
impression  in  "The  Gladiator,"  while  in  lyric  drama  such  world-renowned  artistes  as  Adelina 
and  Carlotta  Patti,  Adelaide  Phillips,  Christine  Nilsson,  Etelka  Gerster,  Minnie  Hauk,  Clara 
Louise  Kellogg,  lima  De  Murska,  Annie  Louise  Gary,  Mme.  Anna  Bishop,  Pauline  L'Alle- 
mand,  Wachtel,  Mario,  Brignoli,  Campanini,  world-renowned  tenors,  and  Nanette,  Del  Puenti, 
Galassi,  Carl  Farmes,  Myron  W.  Whitney,  and  Sher  Campell,  bassos  and  baritones  of  con- 
ceded fame,  have  delighted  the  music-loving  people  of  Syracuse.  Shall  we  ever  see  the  like 
again  in  our  day  and  generation  of  these  world-famed  artists  who  have  performed  on  the 
Wieting  stage? 

Yet  were  this  illustrious  company  all  present  here  to-night,  enter- 
taining us  with  their  cleverest  parts,  still  should  we  be  in  the  presence 
of  something  greater  than  all  their  art.  This  the  great  audience 
instinctively  feels,  and  as  the  curtain  falls  at  the  end  of  the  first  act 
there  arises  a  prolonged  cheering,  with  loud  calls,  and  two  thousand 
pairs  of  eyes  are  all  turned  toward  the  owner's  box.  "It  was  a  pretty 
scene  as  Mrs.  Wieting  arose  in  her  box  and  bowed  in  response  to  the 
ovation  given  her."  But  the  cheering,  the  calling  of  her  name,  grow 
louder  and  louder,  more  incessant,  more  insistent.  The  audience  has 
arisen  to  its  real  part  for  the  evening  and  cannot  be  denied.  Radiantly 
she  rises,  steps  to  the  front  of  the  box,  gracefully  bows  to  every  part 
of  the  house,  and  retires.  Instantly  the  tide  rises  higher  and  beats 
more  irrepressibly.  For  the  third  time  she  acknowledges  the  splendid 
ovation.  It  is  in  vain.  They  must  hear  her  voice.  A  thunderous 
surge,  well  known  to  theatre-goers,  is  lifting  itself  up  through  the 
house,  from  floor  to  ceiling,  and  sweeping  across  the  animated  sea  of 
faces  with  overwhelming  insistence,  *a  call  of  affectionate  fervor  that 
will  not  be  denied.  And  so  coerced  she  steps  forward  for  the  fourth 
time,  compelled  to  speak  and  about  to  pour  out,  as  one  scribe  had  the 
sense  to  recognize,  "the  real  dedication  of  the  new  opera  house." 

Now  at  length  we  are  before  the  real  greatness  and  mystery  of 
this  beautiful  art-temple.  "He  who  hath  builded  the  house  hath  more 
honor  than  the  house."  Far  greater  than  the  lovely  house  she  has  built 
is  the  woman,  the  soul,  the  spirit,  the  creator  of  the  house. 

Do  we  always  think  of  this,  in  an  age  of  materialism?  In  the 
great  play-house  and  work-temple  in  which  we  live,  have  we  not  some- 
times "worshipped  and  served  the  creature  more  than  the  Creator, 
Who  is  blessed  for  ever  ?"  And  are  we  not  prone  to  be  more  occupied 

[593] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

with  the  little  actors  on  our  stage  than  with  the  Great  Actor  Who 
created  the  house?  So  also  too  often,  I  think,  we  pay  homage  to  the 
utility  of  the  works  of  our  fingers  more  than  to  the  mystery  and  mar- 
vel of  the  human  spirit  that  through  such  frail  hands,  feet,  lips,  eyes, 
and  brain,  so  wonclrously  creates. 

Out  of  the  eyes  of  the  woman  now  standing  before  us  shine  the 
real  soul  and  spirit  of  the  new  Opera  House.  The  creator  of  this  great 
poem,  which  recites  its  cantos  all  about  us,  written  in  words  of  beauty 
and  light,  of  iron  and  stone,  of  wood  and  gold,  of  lovely  furniture  and 
exquisite  draperies,  is  about  to  tell  us  how  she  came  to  compose  her 
masterpiece. 

"When  I  stood  among  the  ruins  of  the  burned  Opera  House  a 
little  more  than  a  year  ago,"  said  Mrs.  Wieting,  "my  courage  failed 
me  as  I  contemplated  the  rebuilding  of  the  structure.  But  after  much 
deliberation  I  finally  decided  to  -rebuild  the  opera  house.  I  also 
decided  that  I  would  build  a  fire-proof  theatre — and  that  I  would  build 
a  larger  theatre — one  which  should  meet  the  requirements  of  a  city 
much  larger  than  Syracuse  at  present.  To  that  end  I  purchased  addi- 
tional property,  enlarging  the  stage  and  the  auditorium.  I  also  decided 
that  I  would  build  an  opera  house  more  beautiful  and  costly  than  the 
old  one — one  which  should  be  commensurate  with  the  wealth  and  cul- 
ture of  our  beautiful  city.  My  aim  was  high !  If  I  have  fallen  short, 
it  is  not  through  lack  of  persistent  endeavor  to  attain  my  ideal.  The 
great  fire  wall  which  formed  the  dividing  line  between  the  Wieting 
Block  and  the  Opera  House  remained  intact  after  the  fire,  and  now 
forms  the  eastern  wall  of  the  new  theatre. 

"It  perhaps  is  unnecessary  to  state  here  that  the  successful  com- 
pletion of  this  theatre  within  so  short  a  time, — which  must  be  patent 
to  everyone, — is  largely  due  to  Mr.  Oscar  Cobb,  the  theatrical  arch- 
itect, who  has  labored  unremittingly  ever  since  the  first  foundation 
stone  was  laid.  He  was  the  architect  of  the  burned  opera  house,  and 
he  took  a  personal  interest  in  the  replacing  of  the  theatre  on  account  of 
its  old  associations. 

"I  also  desire  here  publicly  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the 
faithfulness  of  my  coadjutors  in  the  carrying  on  of  this  work — Messrs. 
R.  A.  Bonta,  President  of  the  New  York  State  Banking  Company,  and 
also  attorney  of  the  Wieting  estate,  and  George  W.  Garrett,  agent  of 
the  estate.  By  their  constant  oversight,  valuable  advice,  and  wise  and 
practical  suggestions  they  have  materially  aided  in  the  successful  com- 
pletion of  this  work.  And  Mr.  Amos  Mason,  the  veteran  contractor 

[594]

and  builder,  must  not  be  overlooked,  who  has  once  more,  and  that  for 
the  third  time,  rebuilt  the  Wieting  Opera  House.  I  will  not  say  that 
I  hope  he  will  live  long  enough  to  build  another,  because  you  see  this 
theatre  is  fire-proof,  but  I  express  the  hope  that  his  long,  honorable, 
and  useful  career  in  this  city  may  yet  be  extended  many  years.  And 
to  all  others  present,  who  have  materially  aided  in  the  completion  of 
the  new  Wieting  Opera  House,  my  acknowledgements  are  due. 

"I  desire  to  thank  this  audience  for  the  interest  which  you  have 
evinced  in  me  and  my  work  by  your  presence  here  this  evening  and  by 
this  most  courteous  and  cordial  greeting." 

One  newspaper  spoke  of  this  address  as  follows:  "Mrs.  Wie- 
ting's  brief  speech  from  her  box  on  the  occasion  of  the  opening  of  the 
splendid  new  Opera  House  Wednesday  night  was  a  model  of  good 
taste  and  of  elocutionary  effort  as  well.  Her  voice  was  pitched  on  a 
low  key,  yet  so  distinct  was  her  articulation  and  enunciation  that  every 
word  which  she  uttered  was  distinctly  heard  in  every  part  of  the 
house.  Her  emphasis  and  inflections  were  also  admirable  and  one  could 
hardly  imagine  that  she  had  not  been  trained  by  long  practice  in  elocu- 
tionary effort. 

"Mrs.  Wieting  has  had  some  practice  in  this  direction  through  her 
lectures  on  travels,  etc.,  delivered  by  her  in  this  city,  but  her  efforts 
on  the  occasion  of  the  opening  of  the  theatre  were  spontaneous  and 
inventive  and,  it  need  hardly  be  said,  were  deeply  impressive.  Orators 
of  reputation  could  study  the  speech  and  the  method  of  its  delivery  to 
advantage." 

But  what  deeply  moved  and  impressed  all  hearers  was  the  matter 
of  her  address,  the  heart  and  substance  within  the  reserve  of  her  few 
and  simple  words — the  motive  of  her  generous  gift,  her  desire  to  serve 
art  and  her  city,  to  build  amply  and  thoroughly,  anticipating  the  com- 
munity's development  for  a  long  time  to  come,  and  providing  against 
the  chances  of  destruction  so  far  as  man  can  do  so.  In  all  these  things, 
and  in  all  the  beauty  and  perfection  lavished  upon  her  work,  she  had 
simply  expressed  herself,  her  heart,  her  mind,  her  culture ;  and  the 
revelation  stood  not  in  her  words,  but  materially  bodied  forth  to  every 
eye  in  the  house  of  beauty  she  had  built. 

The  woman  who  in  the  Wieting  Opera  House  revealed  so  much  of 
the  hidden  creative  power  and  capacity  for  beauty  of  a  human  soul, 
had  in  various  ways  before  revealed  many  lesser  glimpses  of  her  qual- 
ities. Her  generous  devotion  to  art  and  culture  were  well  known.  Her 
lectures  had  been  full  of  fertile  thought,  charmingly  expressed.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

Newspapers  often  contained  her  graceful  fancies  in  verse,  and  fre- 
quently printed  her  delightful  letters,  written  from  all  parts  of  the 
world.  I  give  here  a  few  brief  but  typical  passages  from  her  pen, 
believing  that  their  deeply  appreciative  and  strongly  imaginative  sense 
of  natural  form  and  color  will  help  us  to  understand  why  beauty  of 
form  and  color  came  so  remarkably  to  pervade  the  opera  house  she 
created.  The  following  is  from  her  "Indian  Summer:" 

In  yonder  wood  the  stately  pines 

Stand  boldly  out,  their  verdant  lines 
Making  sharp  contrast  with  the  deciduous  trees, 
Whose  sparse-decked,  straggling  branches  in  the  breeze 

Flaunt  their  banner's  gorgeous  dyes 

Toward  the  gray  and  sullen  skies; 
The  air  is  filled  with  driving  mist  and  rain, 
Sending  a  sudden  chill  through  every  vein ; 
Who  can  be  merry  when  all  nature  weeps? 
For  Summer  sleeps 

The  last  long  sleep. 

But  list !    There's  the  rustle  of  light  garments 

O'er  the  fallen  leaves, 

And  'mongst  the  bare  fields'  garnered  sheaves ; 
Who  comes  ?  the  Indian  Summer,  deemed  more  fair  and  sweet 

Than  that  just  gone — because  more  fleet; 

The  native  red  man,  so  the  legend  runs, 
Deemed  this  fair  child  of  waning  summer  suns 
Sent  by  the  beneficent  god  of  the  bland  southwest, 
Bearing  blessing  and  balm  for  the  world's  unrest, 
A  gift  direct 

From  Cautantowwit. 

All  nature  does  her  honor ;  handmaids  true ! 

Unfurl  the  arching  broidered  canopy  of  blue. 
Trees !  haste  your  brilliant  banners  spread 
Beneath  her  light  foot's  dainty  tread! 

More  royal  carpet  never  yet  by  queen  was  trod, 

More  royal  sceptre  never  held  than  golden  rod  ; 
Sun !  swing  your  shining  censers  through  the  air, 
Shedding  o'er  all  a  glow  most  rich  and  rare !

Adown  the  horizon,  to  mellow  haze,  it  pales, 
Enshrouding  distant  vales 
In  gauzy  sheen. 

And  thus  she  sits  on  gorgeous  -throne, 
Fair  daughter  of  sweet  Summer  gone. 
But  lol-even  now  she  turns  for  flight; 
The  soft  smiling  glance  changing  to  pale  affright, 
As  with  sombre  wind-swept  banners,  with  helmet  plume  and 

shield, 

With  rush  and  roar  the  Storm  King  comes, 
Spreading  his  troops  afield — 
In  armor  clad  from  top  to  toe, 
Spears  set  for  battle  with  the  foe, 
If  foe  there  was,  she's  vanished,  she  needs  must  go 
When  north  winds  blow  ; 

Frail  Indian  Summer.

The  following  lines  are  on  "April:" 

Though  you  come  with  rush  and  roar, 
Flinging  snowf  lakes  at  my  door, 
Well  I  know  that  frowning  face 
Soon  will  wear  a  smile  of  grace; 
Smile  of  sunshine,  laugh  of  rill, 
Trickling,  tinkling  down  the  hill. 

Snowdrifts  pierced  unto  the  heart, 
Through  and  through  with  sun's  bright  dart- 
Forming  fairy  caves  and  hollows 
In  the  snowdrifts;  quick  there  follows 
Swift  destruction,  and  a  flood 
Of  turbid  water  where  snowdrifts  stood. 

Slumbering  Mother  Earth  now  feeling 
Throughout  all  her  veins  the  healing 
Influence,  stirs  from  her  long  sleep, 
From  her  slumber  long  and  deep  ; 
Stirs  and  whispers  to  her  children, 
To  the  crocus  and  the  trillium, 

[597] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

Wake,  my  children,  wake  from  slumber, 
List  sweet  messages  without  number ; 
Lift  your  pretty  heads  about  me, 
For  I  cannot  live  without  thee. 

Though  I'm  brown  and  wrinkled  still, 
Loiter  not — bright  daffodil; 
And  I'll  haste  to  don  my  mantle, 
Don  my  wonderful  green  mantle, 
Fine  and  filmy  and  gemmed  with  dew, 
Ne'er  was  mantle  of  lovelier  hue. 

Haste !  the  blue  sky  bends  above  us  ; 
Haste!  the  sunbeams  dearly  love  us, 
And  in  sheltering  arms  will  hold  us, 
In  a  warm  embrace  will  fold  us, 
Shield  us  from  the  icy  chill 
Which  steals  from  snowdrifts  on  the  hill. 

The  following  poem  is  entitled  "A  May  Snow  Storm  :*' 

I  stood  in  a  great  fruit  orchard, 

With  apple,  cherry  and  pear 
And  plum  trees  grouped  all  about  me, 

And  the  perfume  filled  the  air 
Of  their  burden  of  snow  white  blossoms — 

A  vision  of  natural  beauty  most  rare. 

My  feet  were  buried  in  grasses 

New  sprung  from  earth's  crust  so  brown ; 
Tall  dandelions  nodded  around  me 

Their  gold  disks  changing  to  down 
So  white,  so  light,  so  fleecy  and  feathery, 

It  formed  for  each  stem  a  most  wondrous  crown. 

The  bees  droned  'mid  the  blossoms ; 

Bright  rays  of  the  sun  overhead 
Came  sifting  down  through  the  tree-tops, 

Till  the  quivering  light  was  spread 
In  great  sheets  of  gold  flecked  with  shadows, 

Which  formed,  for  dead  blossoms,  a  royal  bed.

But  the  hush  of  this  May  morning 

Is  soon  broken — strong  breezes  rise, 
Tree-tops  are  bending  and  swaying 

'Neath  the  now  fast  darkening  skies; 
While  low  down  in  the  thick  set  branches 

Birds  seek  shelter,  with  instinct  so  wise. 

The  air  is  filled  with  strange  snow-flakes, 

Most  wondrous  in  form  and  hue ; 
White  petals,  at  base  showing  faintly 

Soft  tints  so  tender  and  true 
To  the  greatest  of  alchemists — Nature — 

That  I  marvel  o'ermuch  as  I  view 

Them — flying,  floating  and  falling 

In  the  gloom  just  now  o'erspread 
By  swift-sailing  clouds  'cross  the  sunlight, 

Making  dark  the  once  glowing  bed 
Where  dead  blossoms  lie ;  while  dandelions  nigh 

Toss  their  white  feathery  crowns  o'er  my  head. 

Thus  I  watch  this  mimic  snow  storm, 

Whose  perfume  fills  all  the  air 
Of  this  glad  morning  in  spring-time, 

When  the  world  is  passing  fair. 
As  it  ceases — behold  the  green  tree-tops 

With  fruit  buds  are  gemmed,  but  of  blossoms  are  bare. 

The  lines  following  are  on  "The  Scent  of  the  Lilacs:" 

The  scent  of  the  lilacs  floats  in  at  the  door;  , 

Sunlight  and  shadow  chequer  the  floor; 

With  homely  tasks  busy  all  the  day  long 

Is  the  dear  patient  mother  in  those  days  long  agone, 

While  outside  the  birds  yield  their  burden  of  song. 

The  scent  of  the  lilacs  floats  in  at  the  door; 
Sunlight  and  shadow  chequer  the  floor; 
Close  under  the  eaves  are  young  birds  in  the  nest, 
But  mother's  chair's  empty — she's  forever  at  rest 
Under  the  lilac  tree,  with  its  plumes  on  her  breast.

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

In  the  thronged  city  streets  so  dusty  and  gray, 

A  flower-girl  calls  "sweet  lilacs,"  in  the  fair  month  of  May; 

A  man  bent  with  years  and  the  burden  of  care, 

With  time's  frosty  touch  on  his  silvered  hair, 

Notes  the  flower  vender's  call — buys  the  blossoms  so  rare. 

But  as  he  inhales  their  perfume  so  sweet, 
Lo,  the  city  streets  vanish ; — and  with  bare  boyish  feet 
He  bounds  o'er  the  meadows,  to  the  low  cottage  door, 
His  mother's  dear  face  smiles  a  welcome  once  more, 
While  the  scent  of  the  lilacs  floats  in  as  of  yore. 

The  vision  has  vanished: — with  tear-moistened  eyes 
The  man  hastens  on,  but  his  inmost  soul  cries, 
Oh,  home  of  my  childhood !  no  spot  the  world  o'er 
To  me  half  so  sweet  as  that  low  open  door ! 
When  the  scent  of  the  lilacs  floats  in  as  of  yore. 

Thus  the  scent  of  a  flower — a  musical  strain- 
Oft  peoples  the  shadows  with  loved  faces  again ; 
Oft  quickens  the  heart-throbs  with  a  thrill  half  of  pain ; 
Divine  gift  of  memory!  a  safeguard  from  Heaven, 
For  the  soul  tried  and  tempted — storm-tossed  and  riven. 

The  following  is  from  her  account  of  the  Coronation  of  King 
Edward  in  the  summer  of  1902 :  "The  position  of  honor  was  given  to 
the  Canadians,  who  were  conspicuous  in  dark  uniforms  with  gold 
edgings ;  then  the  Australians,  and  after  them  with  bewildering  rapid- 
ity there  filed  past  us  New  Zealanders,  wearing  in  their  sombreros  a 
huri  feather ;  Ceylonese  from  Singapore,  with  bright  blue  turbans ; 
Chinese  from  Hongkong,  wearing  flat  Chinese  s'traw  hats ;  Egyptians, 
the  King's  South  African  Rifles,  ebony  skinned,  with  dark  red  f ezzes ; 
Malays,  contingents  from  Jamaica,  Trinidad,  the  gold  coast ;  even  the 
Fiji  Islands  sent  their  quota  to  do  honor  to  the  Crown;  they  lent  a 
grotesque  element  to  the  brilliant  spectacle. 

"The  troops  felt  keenly  the  pangs  of  disappointment  in  not  being 
able  to  see  their  King;  carriages  containing  squads  of  them  might  be 
seen  driving  about  in  the  vicinity  of  the  palace. 

"The  curious,  quaint  Fiji  Islanders  drove  past  with  many  a  wistful 
glance  at  the  windows  of  the  palace,  finally  asking  permission  to  sing 
in  front  of  the  palace. 

"The  picture  they  presented  was  undoubtedly  the  strangest  ever 
seen  in  London ;  barelegged,  barefooted,  a  white  strip  of  cloth  wound 

[600]

round  the  loins,  a  coarse  blue  kersey  tunic,  and  their  heads  looking  like 
a  huge  circular  street-sweeping  brush,  the  hair  standing  out  stiff  all 
around  about  an  eighth  of  a  yard  long  and  dyed  a  bright  yellow  in  con- 
trast with  their  black  skins.  The  song  or  chant  was  improvised  and 
expressive  of  their  sorrow  at  not  being  able  to  see  their  glorious  chief, 
and  petitioning  unknown  powers  for  his  restoration  to  health." 
Writing  of  Lucerne,  Switzerland,  she  says : 

"The  scene  at  night  is  of  marvelous  beauty.  Tiny  rowboats,  each 
with  its  colored  lantern,  are  scurrying  through  the  water;  the  big  hos 
telries  on  the  topmost  mountain  peaks  are  blazing  with  electric  lights, 
and  from  lofty  Stanserhorn  is  thrown  a  searchlight,  changing  from 
yellow  to  violet,  green  and  red.  Beneath  its  weird  and  mystic  light  the 
lake  becomes  a  sea  of  fire;  the  hidden  mysteries  of  the  surrounding 
mountains  are  revealed,  and  the  pretty  white  city  of  Lucerne  gleams 
like  marble. 

"Steamers  on  Lake  Lucerne  are  daily  crowded  with  tourists  in- 
tent on  scaling  the  mountains ;  one  talks  of  going  up  the  Rigi  as  though 
it  were  but  a  trifling  incident,  and,  indeed,  by  the  aid  of  the  railway,  it 
is  easily  accomplished  in  a  half  day ;  still  the  sensation  of  being  lifted 
up  into  space  is  overpowering.  As  we  rise,  the  blue  waters  of  the  lake 
seem  to  sink  into  unknown  depths,  and  mountains  continually  rise  about 
us.  At  last  the  train  is  brought  to  a  standstill  and  we  step  out  seem- 
ingly into  midair  with  but  one  foothold — the  summit  of  Rigi,  'the  island 
peak.' 

"Range  upon  range  of  mountains  stretch  before  us  into  infinite 
space,  fading  to  a  shadowy  blue  in  the  distance,  their  billowy  outlines, 
like  the  petrified  waves  of  some  mighty  sea.  Gray  and  shadowy,  like 
shrouded  sentinels,  stand  the  surrounding  mountains ;  the  air  is  chill, 
the  mist  clings  to  one's  garments,  a  faint  pink  glow  behind  a  distant 
mountain  reveals  it  like  a  cameo  against  the  pale  morning  sky ;  the  glow 
spreads  and  deepens  until  each  peak  is  an  intaglio  cut  in  the  deepening 
blue.  As  the  sun  blazes  over  the  tops,  the  mists  are  rolled  up  like  a  cur- 
tain, and  the  glories  of  valley  and  mountain  are  revealed." 

Of  the  geological  formation  of  Norway  she  writes:  "Little  is 
known  of  Norway  as  compared  with  other  parts  of  Europe.  Amer- 
icans are  few  who  visit  that  country.  But  it  is  'The  Happy  Hunting- 
Ground'  of  the  English  and  one  encounters  them  at  every  turn.  Gen- 
erally speaking,  the  American  in  Europe  prefers  to  spend  his  time  and 
his  ducats  in  the  great  traveled  centers.  Occasionally,  however,  it  hap- 

[601] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

pens  that  an  adventurous  explorer,  who  has  already  'done'  Europe  to  a 
greater  or  less  extent,  finds  his  way  to  this  most  wonderful  land,  whose 
grandest  tribute  to  its  marvels  and  mysteries  is — silence.  No  words 
can  describe — no  imagination  picture  the  majesty  of  Nature  in  this  far 
distant  land.  While  not  more  than  a  cursory  glance  at  Norway  can  be 
given  in  the  columns  of  a  newspaper,  yet  some  idea  may  be  conveyed 
of  those  prominent  features  and  details  of  Norwegian  life  and  scenery 
which  most  impress  the  average  tourist  who  for  the  first  time  beholds 
and  experiences  them. 

"Out  of  the  conflict  of  the  turbulent  powers  of  nature  sprung  the 
Norway  of  to-day — the  mysterious  and  wonderful  Norseland.  The 
thoughtful  observer,  as  he  views  its  wonders,  sees  the  rolling  green  sea 
with  its  numberless  outstretched  arms  reaching  up  between  the  moun- 
tains ;  sees  the  enormous  piles  of  rock  thousands  of  feet  above  ram- 
sees  yawning  chasms  and  fathomless  glens,  into  whose  mysteries  the 
eye  cannot  penetrate;  sees  also  that  which  may  not  be  patent  to  the 
casual  observer.  Backward  are  his  thoughts  carried  to  the  dark  ages ; 
he  hears  the  crashing  of  the  mighty  avalanche  as  it  pursues  its  awful 
course  down  the  mountains ;  rending  them  asunder,  hurling  the  frag- 
ments from  side  to  side,  and  he  also  thinks  of  the  terrible  insidious 
march  of  the  advancing  and  retiring  glaciers  from  the  far  frozen 
North,  obliterating  landmarks,  forming  new  watercourses,  and  chang- 
ing the  entire  aspect  of  nature.  It  is  supposed  that  the  entire  country 
was  covered  with  ice  during  the  glacial  period. 

"An  eminent  professor  of  geology  in  Christiania  states  that  'the 
phenomenal  features  of  Scandinavia  are  due  to  the  fact  that  the  penin- 
sula slowly  sank  under  the  weight  of  the  Arctic  ice,  the  surfaces  be- 
neath were  scored  and  grooved  by  the  submerged  and  grounded  bergs, 
and  then  the  land  slowly  rose  again  to  its  present  level.'  These  awful 
convulsions  of  nature  seem  to  have  found  their  counterpart  in  the  in- 
ternal conflicts  which  convulsed  the  nation;  for  the  entire  history  of 
Norway  up  to  the  eighteenth  century  is  one  of  blood  and  carnage ;  no 
law  but  that  of  might  was  recognized.  But  the  awful  throes  of  nature 
were  at  last  stilled ;  the  receding  torrents,  with  mighty  backward  rush, 
left  bare  broad  plains  and  fruitful  glens  into  which  the  sunlight  poured, 
clothing  them  in  verdure;  even  so  at  last  into  the  hearts  of  the  bar- 
barian Norsemen  poured  the  sunlight  of  civilization,  rendering  them 
amenable  to  law  and  order;  to  the  recognition  of  right — not  might. 
What  wonder  that  with  all  these  antecedents  Norway  and  the  Nor- 
wegians are  what  they  are  at  the  present  day ;  a  country  whose  natural 

[602!

wonders  are  a  marvel  to  all  who  behold  them,  and  a  people  of  physical 
power  and  prowess — fearless  and  firm — of  sturdy  independence  and 
persistence — inured  to  hardships  and  privations,  and  withal  true  and 
loyal  to  each  other !" 

What  follows  is  from  the  same  article :  "At  Odde  was  made  our 
first  attempt  to  visit  a  glacier.  A  steam  launch  on  the  lake  landed  us  at 
the  base  of  the  ragged  foot-hills,  and  as  we  were  assured  it  was  but  an 
hour's  walk  we  commenced  the  ascent.  We  climbed  and  climbed  in  the 
broiling  sun,  occasionally  getting  a  peep  at  the  glacier  from  between 
points  of  rocks,  .  .  At  a  point  which  commands  the  valley  a 

flag  staff  is  erected  and  the  Norwegian  flag  floats  in  the  breeze.  The 
view  at  this  point  is  overwhelming  in  its  grandeur.  Mountains  of 
rock,  whose  summits  seem  to  pierce  the  clouds ;  waterfalls  innumerable 
covering  their  sides  with  wreaths  of  foam ;  angry  torrents  of  green  and 
purple  waters  rushing  down  the  valley  with  roar  of  thunder ;  and  in  the 
distance,  dominating  the  whole — the  glacier — the  ice  gleaming  blue  as 
a  sapphire.  Above  and  beyond  it  stretch  the  vast  untrodden  snow 
fields,  in  strong  contrast  to  the  blue  of  the  glacier. 

"Lonely  wilds  of  the  Norseland !  Everything  about  us  is  strange 
and  weird  except  the  familiar  faces  of  the  daisies  and  buttercups  which 
seem  to  smile  up  at  us  from  the  bleak  barren  spaces  at  every  point  where 
they  can  gain  a  foothold.  The  sight  of  them  cheers  our  hearts,  bring- 
ing a  feeling  of  home  nearness ;  they  seem  to  say,  although  you  are  so 
far  from  home,  yet  we  have  come  also.  The  wild  flowers  of  Norway 
are  innumerable  in  variety  and  species ;  but  they  are  tiny  and  so  delicate 
as  to  be  almost  transparent ;  so  brief  is  their  life  in  this  bleak  land  where 
the  sun  hides  his  light  so  long.  The  cottages  of  the  peasants  are  mostly 
roofed  with  turf  from  which  spring  numerous  wild  flowers  and  even 
small  shrubs  and  trees.  The  tiny  peaked  roofs  look  odd  covered  with 
growing  flowers,  which  seem  entirely  out  of  keeping  with  their  grimy 
surroundings." 

I  add  a  little  touch  from  her  "Tour  Through  Austria:" 

"To-day  a  deep  velvety  purple  bloom  is  over  the  foliage  with  which 
the  distant  mountains  are  clothed,  in  beautiful  contrast  to  the  pale  grey 
of  the  rocks  where  they  are  bare  of  verdure.  On  the  summit  of  one, 
as  if  cast  there  by  spirit  hands,  rests  a  fleecy  veil  of  cloud ;  this  moun- 
tain is  15,000  feet  high. 

"As  we  ascend,  the  sun  is  sinking,  and  we  witness  the  glories  of  an 
Alpine  sunset.  The  mountains — dark  towering  masses  in  the  fore- 
ground ; — behind  them  and  between  their  sharp  crags,  throwing  every

outline  into  bold  relief,  the  brilliant  changing  colors  of  the  setting  sun 
streaming  upward  to  the  zenith.  Below  in  the  valley — the  city;  with 
every  spire  and  dome  glittering  in  the  rosy  light ;  the-  river  like  a  sheet 
of  silver  running  through  the  green.  It  is  a  picture  not  soon  to  be  for- 
gotten." 

In  one  of  her  lectures  she  calls  our  attention  to  the  spiritual  possi- 
bilities in  the  intercourse  and  travel  now  made  so  easy  throughout  the 
world.  "The  facilities  for  travel,"  she  declares,  "which  are  constantly 
on  the  increase  in  all  parts  of  the  globe,  thus  establishing  inter-com- 
munication of  all  nations,  Pagan  and  Christian,  are  destined  to  be  a 
mighty  agency  in  the  enlightenment  and  evangelization  of  the  world. 
The  missionary  can  have  no  more  powerful  allies  than  the  steam  en- 
gine, the  ship  canals,  the  sub-marine  cables.  With  all  these  achieve- 
ments of  the  i gth  century  surely  we  may  look  for  the  fulfillment  of 
the  Divine  promise  that  'The  heathen  are  to  be  given  unto  the  Son  for 
His  inheritance,  and  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  His  posses- 
sion. He  shall  have  dominion  from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  the  river  unto 
the  ends  of  the  earth.' ' 

Perhaps  these  glimpses  prepare  us  better  to  understand  the  crea- 
tion of  the  Wieting  Opera  House,  in  which  a  thoughtful,  poetical 
woman  generously  and  beautifully  expressed  herself.  The  nobility  of 
the  house,  the  splendor  of  its  proportions  and  parts,  the  peculiar  per- 
fection of  all  its  arrangements  and  appointments,  the  quiet,  exquisite 
beauty  of  softly  blended  color  and  form  in  all  the  details  of  decoration 
and  draperies, — all  came  thoughtfully  forth  out  of  the  taste  and  feeling 
of  the  wisdom  of  her  heart. 

Mrs.  Melville  Augustus  Johnson,  formerly  Mrs.  Wieting,  is  one 
of  the  Original  Life-Member  Founders  and  Vice-Presidents  of  The 
National  Historical  Society,  which  she  was  one  of  the  first  to  forward 
toward  organization,  having  been  from  its  inception  a  warm  friend  and 
supporter.  I  therefore  have  a  double  pleasure  in  recording  her  beau- 
tiful gift  to  art  in  the  pages  of  the  Magazine  of  the  Society.  One  of 
the  chief  purposes  of  The  National  Historical  Society  and  of  its  Maga- 
zine is  to  gather  and  preserve,  for  the  inspiration  and  encouragement 
of  the  whole  Country,  whatever  can  be  distilled  out  of  the  labors  of 
love  and  consecrated  devotion  of  such  a  life. 

What  an  ideal  for  America  emerges!  Consider  the  beautiful 
creation  for  the  enjoyment  of  others  into  which  one  woman  pours 
the  wealth  she  has  to  give — the  best,  the  richest,  that  lies  deep  in  her 
generous  nature,  and  comes  forth  thence,  expressing  herself.  Multi- 

[604] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

ply  this  by  the  power  of  all  the  souls  of  America,  and  what  a  standard 
of  light  the  starry  flag  of  one  people's  example  might  unfold  over  the 
world !  In  a  thousand  forms  the  call  to  service  sounds — if  we  but  lie 
in  God's  creative  hand,  whole-hearted  and  devoted,  prepared  unto  every 
good  work.  Light  comes,  shining  in  upon  us  to  shine  out  again  upon 
the  world. 

Throughout  our  country  men  have  erected  houses  of  amusement ; 
but  not  as  Mrs.  Johnson  built  her  house.  Commercial  enterprises 
nearly  all  have  been, — business  ventures  for  profit!  Thus  human 
hearts  express  themselves;  but  quite  unsuitably  to  set  us  an  exalted 
standard.  But  the  creation,  whose  happy  "week"  of  creative  work- 
manship we  have  been  watching  unfold,  sprang  out  of  no  thorn-choked 
soil  of  gain  and  barter.  It  came  forth  out  of  the  boundless,  myste- 
rious resources  of  a  human  soul's  ideals,  where — whatever  the  ideal 
may  be,  however  imperfect,  however  groping — God's  image  and  like- 
ness is  clearly  limned  in  the  work  of  our  hands  and  hearts. 

The  new  Wieting  Opera  House  set  a  new  standard,  became  the 
pioneer  of  a  new  departure.  Dramatic  art  seeks  to  imitate  and  body 
forth  our  life,  its  motives  and  its  passions,  its  right  and  its  wrong.  If 
our  life  does  wrong,  it  does  wrong  in  the  setting  of  a  world  which,  as 
created,  unstained  of  our  evil,  is  filled  with  the  incentive  and  lure  of 
the  high  and  the  beautiful.  The  instincts  of  Mrs.  Johnson's  ideals 
dreamed  of  giving  to  the  stage  of  art  a  house  imitative  of  the  beauties 
of  the  great  house  of  life.  Never  before,  I  believe,  in  the  scheme  of  a 
house  for  dramatic  art,  was  simple  beauty  and  perfection  exalted  to  a 
place  so  high  and  predominant.  A  new  type  was  created,  and  prob- 
ably only  a  woman,  and  only  a  woman  of  Mrs.  Johnson's  mind  and 
heart  and  taste  and  culture,  could  have  created  the  type.  It  was  her 
life's  great  poem. 

At  this  moment  the  nations  on  the  world  stage  are  playing 
agonizing  parts  in  a  dark  tragedy  of  manslaughter.  Yet  men,  falling 
into  such  depths  from  the  low  plane  of  national  selfishness,  are  slow  to 
judge  their  own  hearts,  and  swift  to  rail  at  God.  Bringing  down  upon 
themselves,  and  upon  the  whole  earth,  the  logical  consequences  of 
crooked  ways  and  sordid  ambitions,  they  cry  out,  "Is  there  a  God,  that 
these  things  should  be?" 

That  God  is  long-suffering,  very  forbearing,  slow  to  visit  in  judg- 
ment, loath  to  crush,  our  school-days  at  man's  form  of  evil  surely  show. 
That  God  is,  everything  over  and  around  us  demonstrates.  Stung  by 
the  fearful  play  upon  our  boards,  running  through  its  mad  acts  among 

[605] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN    HISTORY 

the  shifting  scenes  of  Europe,  Asia,  and  Africa,  we  turn  our  fascinated 
eyes  away  to  look  upon  the  power  and  beauty,  the  shielding  walls,  sup- 
porting pillars,  the  great  mosaic  beneath  our  feet,  the  starry  ceiling 
overhead,  the  voices  of  lovely  ornamentation,  and  all  the  prophecy  of 
graceful  draperies,  that  support  and  hang  down  around  this  mighty 
theatre  which  stages  the  good  and  evil  of  men  and  nations — and,  even 
out  of  the  blackest  tragedy  of  our  uttermost  despair,  strength  and  good- 
ness, hope  and  beauty,  reveal  themselves  in  the  Everlasting  Arms  that 
still  hold  us  up. 

Might  we  not  wander  on  the  seashore  and  in  a  pearly  shell  read 
the  same  gospel  which  we  have  heard  preached  more  vividly  and  won- 
derfully by  the  new  Wieting  Opera  House  ?  A  little  bivalve  toiled  to 
express  itself.  Its  brief  life  has  gone  to  Him  Who  gave  it;  but  this 
tiny  irridescent  house,  created  out  of  its  vital  energies,  abides  with  its 
imperishable  witness.  The  blind  creative  instinct  of  the  little  creature 
never  knew  that  the  house  it  built  could  challenge  the  deepest  thoughts 
of  aesthetic  philosophy,  declaring  the  immanent  Presence  of  the  Beau- 
ty-Loving Architect  Whose  exquisite  design  the  little  workman  visua- 
lized. 

But  how  this  gospel  lightens  faith  out  of  the  creative  heart  of  a 
generous  woman !  I  stand  in  the  house  she  lavished  a  fortune  to  build 
for  others — in  the  midst  of  its  beautiful  utilities  and  its  expenditure  of 
loveliness.  Then  I  try  to  fathom  the  life,  the  being,  the  greater  uni- 
verse out  of  which  such  a  creation  could  spring.  What  fertile  seas  and 
continents  of  the  heart!  What  airy,  cloud-laden  firmaments  of  the 
mind !  What  starry  spaces  of  the  imagination !  What  yearnings,  what 
seekings,  what  hunger  and  thirst  of  soul  and  spirit !  What  a  universe 
of  social  necessity ;  ready  to  serve,  to  be  served ;  to  give,  to  be  given ; 
to  love,  to  be  loved !  These  vast  expanses,  the  creative  possibilities,  the 
endless  surprises,  of  one  generous  woman's  soul  I  try  to  multiply  by 
the  sum  of  the  human  race;  then  seek  to  imagine  the  multiplication  of 
this  still-finite  quantity  by  infinity;  and  though  I  cannot  take  it  in, 
and  can  only  rejoice  in  this,  my  inability,  the  Eyes  of  the  God  of  Love 
look  into  my  heart  out  of  everything  in  the  world ! 

Away  with  blind  materialism,  that  cannot  explain  one  least  thing 
that  we  see!  Abhorred  be  its  doctrine  that  in  human  selfishness,  as 
brute  beasts,  we  must  struggle  for  existence!  Do  we  make  God's 
Cross  a  stumbling  block?  Could  we  see  no  further, — in  the  ages'  trag- 
edy of  human  selfishness  is  there  not  need  that  the  Eternal  teach  us 
Love's  gospel  of  self-immolation?  "Whosoever  would  save  his  life, 

[606] 


A  NOTABLE  ACHIEVEMENT 

shall  lose  it,  but  whosoever  loseth  his  life,  shall  find  it  again."  There- 
fore will  I  not  let  myself  be  discouraged  by  the  manslaughter  of  the 
nations.  I  will  turn  to  a  pearly  shell !  I  will  look  upon  the  beautiful 
creation  of  one  woman!  I  will  gaze  out,  far  as  my  sight  can  pierce 
the  horizon,  over  the  unfathomable  sea  of  one  generous  woman's  heart, 
out  into  the  great  Heart  of  God  Himself.  And  so  my  faith  stands, 
stronger  and  purer  than  ever. 

There  are  sermons  in  stones ;  and  in  one  woman's  work  a  book  of 
revelations !

When  we  behold  thy  house  of  beauty  built 

Into  time's  substance  from  a  single  dream, 
And  so  infer  thy  soul's  perpetual  gleam 

Of  worlds  reborn  and  shapen  as  thou  wilt, 

Our  eyelids  startle  from  the  lazy  tilt 

That  lets  the  slant  in  of  what  things  but  seem 
Through  darkened  slats  of  blindness,  and  a  beam 

Of  life-glow  keys  our  waking  to  the  lilt 

Our  songs  heir  from  the  music  played  of  old, 
Form,  order,  color,  beauty,  mystic  chime 
Out  of  the  Life  that  bore  up  chaos  drawn, 

Until  our  dreams  the  dreams  of  God  behold, 
In  this  cracked  seed  and  bursting  night  of  time 
The  New  Creations  of  Eternal  Dawn  !

BY 

DOCTOR  DAMASO  RIVAS 

Chairman  of  the  Delegation  from  Nicaragua  to  the  Pan-American 

Scientific  Congress 

HERE  is  scarcely  anything  to  add  to  what  has  been  said 
before  in  reference  to  the  spirit  in  which  we  are  gath- 
ered together  to  strive  for  the  benefit  of  these  great 
Americas  as  a  whole.  Nothing  can  be  added  to  the 
wise  advice  of  the  Vice-President  of  this  great  Repub- 
lic and  also  of  the  Secretary  of  State  and  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Congress.  Still,  there  may  be  some  little  points  for  us  to 
recall  that  I  may  discuss  in  the  capacity  of  one  who  has  had  a  resi- 
dence of  twenty  years  in  this  country,  since  we  are  congregated  for 
nothing  but  to  discuss  and  look  for  the  truth. 

In  the  first  place,  we  realize  very  well  that  our  gathering  here 
means  only  one  thing,  regard  for  the  truth.  It  has  been  said  that  Sci- 
ence is  the  only  thing  in  which  humanity  strives  only  for  the  truth. 
Science  is  nothing  if  it  is  not  for  the  truth.  Science  really  does  stand 
in  mankind  as  a  whole  as  a  search  for  the  truth,  and  truth  is  the  one 
thing  indomitably  unshaken,  never  to  be  moved.  In  reference  to  that, 
of  course,  we  only  have  to  congratulate  ourselves  on  being  members 
of  this  Congress  whose  efforts  will  continue  to-day  and  to-morrow 
and  the  morrow  after  always  in  the  effort  to  enlighten  us  and  give  us 
knowledge. 

There  is  a  mighty  truth  which  was  promulgated  by  Lincoln,  and 
it  is  mighty  still  and  is  the  utterance  of  the  President  of  this  country 
and  of  every  representative  of  the  South  American  Republics.  Truth 
will  ever  remain  in  those  words,  'A  government  of  the  people,  by  the 
people,  and  for  the  people."  That  is  the  guiding  spirit  still,  if  not 

[621] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

of  civilization,  still  of  education.  Civilization  may  bring  man  to  the 
border  of  death,  but  education  alone  can  bring  man  to  the  plane  where 
he  belongs.  We  are  to  be  congratulated  on  the  fact  that  we  may  be 
educated  some  time,  if  not  at  the  present. 

We  know  that  we  are  not  here  to  learn  anything  in  regard  to 
political  features  or  to  discuss  them  in  this  place,  but  that  our  truest 
efforts  are  to  be  given  to  the  search  for  the  truths  which  will  place 
man  beyond  the  resort  to  war.  In  Europe  at  this  time  they  are  una- 
ble to  make  this  search,  simply  because  they  resort  to  nothing  but 
fighting.  We  know  very  well  that  we  do  not  want  to  fight,  not  be- 
cause we  are  afraid,  but  because  there  is  no  place  for  it  with  us.  Let 
us  always  remain  as  we  are.  If  we  can  not  improve  any  further  let 
us  stay  where  we  are,  at  least.  There  is  a  time  in  which  every  nation 
strives  for  independence.  There  was  a  time  for  every  nation  among 
us,  when  we  separated  from  the  mother  country.  Now  we  have  at- 
tained the  age  of  maturity  and  we  must  guard  and  develop  our  inde- 
pendence and  our  liberty. 

Surely  Cleveland,  in  the  time  of  his  Administration,  called  the 
attention,  not  alone  of  England,  but  of  Europe  as  a  whole,  and  since 
then  we  know  that  we  receive  consideration  as  independent  nations. 
Then  was  given  to  us  the  real  spirit  of  America  for  the  Americans. 
Of  course,  that  doctrine  is  due  to  Monroe,  who  was  the  father  of  the 
doctrine,  but  who  is  greater,  the  one  who  promulgated  it  or  the  one 
who  established  it?  Let  us  honor  Monroe,  but  let  us  admire  and  thank 
Cleveland  who  established  it  for  us.  And  I  am  sure  that  the  Govern- 
ment of  America  will  not  forget  what  has  been  done. 

There  is  one  little  more  thing  which  may  be  added,  and  that  I 
can  not  pass  by.  It  refers  to  the  common  expression  attached  to  the 
Latin  American  countries,  to  myself  as  well,  and  that  is  "Manana," 
a  saying  which  is  so  popular  here.  Do  we  really  represent  "Man- 
ana"  ?  Some  may,  but  not  all,  I  am  sure,  and  if  we  do  it  is  time  not  to 
represent  it.  It  reminds  me  very  much  of  the  time  when  Columbus 
was  dying,  and  a  very  good  friend  said  at  his  bedside,  "Columbus,  I 
am  going  to  ask  charity  for  you,"  and  he  insisted  on  going  to  court. 
But  Columbus  did  not  care  to  be  aided,  and  he  said : 

"Manana,  esa  palabra  vana, 
Se  ha  interpuesto  en  mi  camino, 
Yo  daros  un  mundo  quiero, 
En  voz  alta  les  gritaba 
Y  manana  repetia 

[622] 


DEMOCRACY  THE  STANDARD  OF  CIVILIZATION 

El  viejo  mundo  en  que  muero. 

"Y  hoy  que  ese  mundo  les  di, 
Y  tu  que  f  uiste  a  buscar, 
Para  Colon  un  hogar 
Me  traes  una  manana  a  mi  ? 
Raza  orgullosa  y  liviana, 
Bajo  en  cuyo  ambiente  estoy 
Si  no  sabes  lo  que  es  hoy 
Que  sabeis  lo  que  es  el  manana." 

I  have  referred  to  that,  gentlemen,  because  it  says,  in  a  few 
words,  if  we  do  not  know  what  is  today  we  never  can  know  what  will 
be  to-morrow. 

Of  course,  to  us  the  beautiful  Stars  and  Stripes,  or  the  Blue  and 
Red,  or  any  color  that  is  the  emblem  of  our  nation,  is  dear,  but  let  us 
in  the  future  honor,  when  we  honor  the  flag  of  any  nation,  the  flag 
of  truth  and  co-operation  in  love  and  justice. 

I  speak  in  the  name  of  the  Nicaraguan  Delegation.  You  will  re- 
member that  Nicaragua  is  a  very  small  country.  The  sentiment  is  the 
same  whether  the  country  is  large  or  small.  There  is  only  one  senti- 
ment of  truth  and  love  and  friendship,  and  that  is  what  we  all  have 
for  America.

HIS  EXCELLENCY,  SENOR  DON  IGNACIO  CALDERON 

Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  from  Bolivia  to 

the  United  States 

R.  PRESIDENT,  Delegates,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 
The  last  Pan-American  meeting  held  was  the  First 
Pan-American  Financial  Congress,  called  by  the  dis- 
tinguished Secretary  of  the  Treasury  of  the  United 
States  with  the  object  of  discussing  the  economic  con- 
ditions of  the  different  Republics  and  the  ways  and 
means  to  extend  our  mutual  trade.  To-day  in  this  beautiful  home  of 
the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  meets  the  Second  Pan- 
American  Scientific  Congress,  with  the  object  of  discussing  almost 
every  branch  of  human  knowledge. 

It  is  indeed  inspiring  to  think  that  we  all  come  here  with  a  feel- 
ing of  mutual  respect  and  in  unselfish  devotion  to  the  cause  of  civili- 
zation and  progress.  Nothing  interprets  better  our  love,  our  aims, 
and  common  sympathies  than  this  meeting,  where  we  discuss  the 
great  problems,  social  and  scientific,  for  the  benefit  and  the  welfare 
of  mankind. 

Many  years  of  unrelenting  struggle  gave  us  our  independence 
and  left  to  the  following  generations  the  sacred  work  of  serving  the 
glorious  destiny  of  Republican  Goverment.  I  know  of  no  other  way 
than  that  of  disseminating  public  instruction,  looking  toward  the  pres- 
ervation and  improvement  of  the  health  and  welfare  of  all  the  people. 
Freedom  is  a  gift  that  is  only  given  to  nations  that  are  awake  to  their 
duties  and  their  rights,  and  who  know  how  to  defend  them  and  to 

[624] 


AMERICA'S  DESTINY  TO  LEAD  THE  WORLD 

keep  open  the  opportunity  for  everyone  to  live  an  independent  life 
and  obtain  self-improvement. 

Pan-Americanism,  this  great  and  noble  doctrine,  is  not  a  senti- 
ment of  exclusion.  It  implies  the  common  effort  of  all  the  Republics 
of  this  continent  in  the  great  work  of  uplifting  mankind  and  the  fur- 
therance of  the  democratic  principles  of  justice.  It  means  the  Re- 
publican Government,  based  on  the  equality  of  man,  and  also  means 
that  we  keep  open  the  door  of  our  territories  for  all  men, — yea  and  all 
women, — to  work  their  way  in  the  course  of  human  progress.  The 
Almighty  has  passed  down  this  New  World  of  ours  with  a  great 
wealth  of  abundant  resources,  which  we  are  willing  to  share  with  the  rest 
of  mankind.  America  is  destined  to  lead  the  world  in  that  upward 
movement  of  the  nations  and  to  press  forward  in  the  development  of 
Mankind's  great  destiny  to  the  highest  summit  of  civilization. 

Gentlemen  and  ladies,  we  meet  here  just  in  the  period  when  the 
whole  world  celebrates  the  anniversary  of  the  coming  of  the  Great 
and  Divine  Teacher,  Whose  arrival  to  the  world  was  proclaimed  from 
above  by  angelic  voices  singing,  "Peace  on  earth,  good  will  toward 
men."  Then  let  us,  under  that  glorious  and  great  Flag  of  the  Stars 
and  Stripes,  work  together  for  the  right  and  proper  fulfillment  of 
Man's  destiny,  the  principles  of  right,  justice,  liberty,  and  happiness. 

The  Bolivian  Delegation  is  pleased  to  express  to  the  United  States, 
through  their  Excellencies,  the  Vice-President  and  the  Secretary  of 
State,  its  acknowledgment  for  the  many  courtesies  received.

BY 
DOCTOR  ISAAC  ALZAMORA 

Delegate  from  Peru  to  the  Second  Pan-American  Scientific  Congress 

[XCELLENCIES,  Vice-President,  Secretary  of  State. 

and   Chairman   of   the  Congress,   Ladies   and   Gen- 

tlemen : 

The  Delegation  of  Peru  to  this  Congress  of  sci- 

entists is  deeply  grateful  for  the  kind  welcome  of  their 

Excellencies,  the  President  and  the  Vice-President  of 
the  United  States,  and  the  Secretary  of  State,  and  feels  honored  in 
presenting  to  the  Government  and  to  the  scientific  institutions  of 
this  great  country,  here  so  well  represented,  its  cordial  greeting  and 
sincere  vows  for  the  realization  of  the  noble  purposes  which  have 
moved  them  to  organize  this  second  Pan-American  Scientific  Congress. 
Although  the  scientific  institutions  of  Peru  are  far  from  having 
reached  a  stage  of  development  and  vigor  such  as  has  been  attained 
by  those  of  this  Republic,  they  experience  no  other  sentiment  than  that 
of  deep  interest  and  admiration  for  their  progress,  and  concur  in  this 
great  gathering,  in  so  far  as  their  limited  resources  permit,  with  sin- 
cere enthusiasm  and  persistent  faith. 

Congresses  such  as  this  can  create  a  special  American  science  ca- 
pable of  judging,  and  of  resolving  theoretically,  with  the  austere  cri- 
terion of  learning,  the  situations  and  problems  which  arise  in  the  va- 
rious nations  of  the  continent.  In  this  manner  they  are  a  powerful 
factor  not  only  in  the  reciprocal  knowledge  of  all  our  Republics,  which 

[626] 


POWERFUL  FACTORS  IN  THE  MARCH  OF  ALL-AMERICA 

is  the  only  certain  base  of  firm  relations  and  of  harmonical  progress, 
but  in  the  development  of  each  one  of  them — and  they  can  avoid  in- 
ternal controversies  of  a  less  disinterested  character  and  of  results 
which  are  often  lamentable.  In  other  words,  the  purely  scientific 
disquisitions  of  these  great  American  assemblies  can  not  only  enlighten 
cash  one  of  the  nations  interested  in  them  in  the  solving  of  its  own 
problems,  but  can  suppress  the  element  of  passion  which  generally  ac- 
companies those  solutions,  thus  constituting  the  most  admirable  con- 
cert in  the  march  of  all  the  countries  of  America,  by  the  most  peaceful 
paths,  towards  the  highest  spheres  of  progress  that  have  ever  been 
reached  by  any  continent  of  the  earth.

HIS  EXCELLENCY,  DOCTOR  CARLOS  MARIA  DE  PENA 

Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  from  Uruguay  to 

the  United  States 

|  ADIES  and  Gentlemen :  When  reviewing  the  brilliant 
successes  of  the  Pan-American  Financial  Congress, 
we  see  what  a  standard  is  set  for  us  to  reach.  Fortu- 
nately, we  are  in  the  country  par  excellence  of  con- 
gresses and  we  shall  continue  in  the  paths  that  have 
been  made  for  us.  What  are  the  things,  great  or 
small,  that  have  been  accomplished  in  congresses  in  this  country  of 
marvelous  energies  and  of  infinite  resources?  That  is  what  we  have 
to  consider. 

This  Congress  is  of  a  general  scientific  character,  for  the  ex- 
change of  ideas  and  views  and  of  rigorous  investigation.  It  is  a 
Congress  seeking  solutions  of  great  problems.  It  is  a  Congress  of  the 
Americas,  and  for  that  reason  we  must  exert  ourselves  in  order  that 
the  result  we  long  for  may  be  obtained,  and  this  Congress  may  be 
worthy  of  the  scientific  and  moral  standard  of  our  countries. 

How  we  have  failed  to  know  one  another,  gentlemen,  how  much 
we  have  still  to  do  to  know  one  another !  This  is  a  gathering  of  man- 
kind who  have  come  full  of  possibility  for  our  continent,  bringing 
with  them  aspirations  and  ideas  for  the  needs  of  our  countries,  for 
our  common  understanding,  and  who  are  called  upon  for  active  co- 

[628] 


THE  VOICES  OF  PACIFIC  AMERICA 

operation  in  the  vast  field  of  investigation  before  us.  We  are  here 
to  meet  and  to  greet  one  another  as  friends  and  co-laborers  from 
countries  desirous  of  cementing  the  commercial,  intellectual,  and  moral 
ties  which  should  unite  them,  as  they  do  now  in  some  of  our  countries. 
There  are  countries  which  desire  to  think  together  and  to  act  together, 
upon  the  footing  of  absolute  equality,  animated  by  common  ideas  and 
determined  to  maintain  their  position  and  personality.  Thus  is  opened 
up  a  road  of  influence  which  is  new  in  the  history  of  the  world. 

I  know,  Gentlemen,  that  I  am  always  repeating  the  eloquent 
words  of  President  Wilson,  contained  in  his  message  concerning  the 
Pan-American  nations,  and  permit  me  to  say  that  I  do  not  employ 
other  words  because  there  are  none  more  expressive.  This  repetition 
is  not  out  of  place  here,  because  this  is  a  Pan-American  Congress,  in 
which  all  of  us  are  called  upon  to  work  together  for  the  end  which 
President  Wilson  has  sown  such  seed  to  bear  fruit  in  our  minds. 

Let  me  say  that  it  is  a  cause  for  great  congratulation  to  each  and 
all  of  us  that  we  are  able  to  devote  a  few  quiet  moments  to  the  prob- 
lems of  culture  and  progress  in  these  countries  at  a  time  of  great  dis- 
turbance and  sorrow,  when  the  social  and  the  intellectual  life  of  the 
Old  World  seems  suspended  as  a  result  of  the  tremendous  struggle 
among  nations.  In  this  country,  the  great  and  happy  home  of  so  many 
people  of  the  human  race,  will  be  carried  through  the  Second  Pan- 
American  Scientific  Congress. 

The  voices  of  pacific  America  proclaim  fraternity  of  moral  and 
intellectual  ideas,  of  cordial  relations,  of  the  intimate  co-operation 
of  the  Republics  in  their  social,  political,  and  economic  problems. 
From  this  Congress,  from  others  which  preceded  it,  and  from  still 
others  that  have  now  been  held  in  this  beautiful  city  of  Washington, 
and  from  all  of  us  in  the  near  future  will  spring  valuable  and  decisive 
results  for  the  progress  of  the  race.  There  will  spring  up  a  new  so- 
cial and  international  gospel,  upon  which  the  structure  of  this  civil- 
ization of  the  world  is  to  be  restored  and  reconstructed. 

Gentlemen,  let  these  congresses  be  welcome  among  us,  for  they  pro- 
mote united  effort  and  the  profitable  exchange  of  ideas  and  aspirations 
and  the  moral  necessities  of  life.  They  lead  to  a  proper  appreciation 
of  mental  powers,  of  the  achivements  of  professional  men.  Let  them 
be  welcome,  because  they  are  the  gatherings  of  science,  accumulated 
little  by  little  in  every  country  of  America,  because  they  present  one  of 
the  most  valuable  fields  for  the  increasing  and  harmonizing  of  the 
common  patrimony  of  mankind.  Let  these  congresses  be  welcome, 

[629]

because  no  more  valuable  field  for  the  practical  application  of  science 
exists  in  our  communities. 

With  this  idea  and  sentiment,  the  Government  of  Uruguay  is 
desirous  of  co-operation  with  that  of  the  United  States  and  with  the 
other  Republics  of  America  in  the  success  of  the  Congress  which  has 
stimulated  the  activity  of  men  of  science  in  all  our  countries.  With 
this  idea  and  sentiment,  our  Delegates  and  I  also  join  you  in  the  work, 
confident  that  we  are  taking  part  in  one  of  the  epoch-making  con- 
gresses in  the  history  of  America.

THE  HONORABLE  ROBERTO  ANCIZAR 

Delegate  from  Colombia  to  the  Second  Pan-American 
Scientific  Congress 

|E  FROM  ALL  AMERICAS  have  already  met  in  this 
City  Beautiful,  endeavoring  to  put  together  and  direct 
into  intelligent  channels  the  energies  that  are  to  re- 
model the  economic  shape  of  this  part  of  the  world. 

We  meet  to-day  as  if  to  take  stock  of  our  ever-in- 
creasing assets  of  Science,  this  Builder  of  free  na- 
tions which,  first  appearing  as  an  immigrant  in  our  shores,  has  now 
won  with  all  honors  the  right  of  citizenship  forever  in  America. 

Mysterious  currents,  out  of  our  control,  because  born  in  God's 
Mercy  for  the  human  race,  are,  in  their  silent  errand,  marching  to- 
wards the  manifest  destiny  of  this  Continent  of  ours,  destiny  which  can 
not  be  attained  by  conquest,  nor  preponderance,  nor  oppression,  nor 
unfair  exploitation  of  nations  or  individuals. 

Glorious  destiny  which  is  freedom,  the  three  times  blessed  free- 
dom that  riches  helps  to  make  stable,  and  that  grows  and  prospers 
aided  by  science,  and  is  worth  attaining  if  justice  and  right  go  hand 
in  hand  with  liberty. 

Let  us  believe,  nay,  let  us  ardently  hope,  that  after  the  Con- 
gresses of  Finance  and  Science  there  will  meet  one  which  will  be  hailed 
as  the  Congress  of  Pan-American  Justice,  where  the  delegates  of  all 
the  nations  of  America  shall  convene  to  bear  witness  that  there  will 
be  no  more  pending  questions,  no  unquenched  thirst  for  right  and  for 
redress  between  the  sisters,  but  where  will  only  reign  a  common  eager-

ness  for  co-operation,  not  marred  from  its  goal  of  continual  good- 
will and  happiness  by  even  the  remembrances  of  past  suspicions  and, 
at  that  time,  long  forgotten  grievances. 

Finance  first,  Science  to-day,  labouring  together  to  build  a  con- 
tinental fabric  cemented  with  Justice,  will  unite  the  Americas,  for  the 
benefit  of  humanity,  with  no  fears  for  its  durability,  for,  if  united, 
we  shall  stand.  But  let  no  cause  of  distrust  ever  wander  between  our 
nations  for,  if  divided,  we  must  fall.

HIS  LIST  has  been  compiled  with  a  view  to  assisting 
those  seeking  information  as  to  their  right  to  display 
a  Coat-of-Arms,  or  who  wish  to  ascertain  whether  a 
Coat-of-Arms  is  borne  by  any  family  bearing  the  same 
surname  as  their  own. 

Many  American  families  have  an  inalienable 
right  to  claim  the  ancient  insignia  of  their  race,  who  may  not  be  aware 
of  it,  and  it  is  to  these  that  this  list  may  serve  as  a  guide  in  taking  the 
first  steps  to  establish  their  descent.  The  pride  of  lineage  is  for  Amer- 
icans a  legitimate  one,  if  in  it  they  find  inspiration  to  preserve  the  spirit 
of  "noblesse  oblige,"  which  expresses  the  true  character  of  Knight- 
hood, remembering  that  in  our  beloved  Country  we  may  render  ser- 
vice in  the  Cause  of  Righteous  Government  with  the  same  zeal  which 
armed  the  Crusaders  of  old,  from  whom  many  armorial  bearings  have 
come  down.

HIS  EXCELLENCY,  DOCTOR  SANTOS  A.  DOMINICI 

Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  from  Venezuela 

to  the  United  States 

JENEZUELA  has  accepted  with  genuine  pleasure  the 
invitation  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States  to 
attend  this  gathering  of  the  men  of  the  Americas  who 
are  devoted  to  science.  Following  the  Financial  Con- 
ference, the  meeting  of  the  Second  Pan-American 
Scientific  Congress  in  this  beautiful  capital  is  a  happy 
coincidence  in  which  the  governments  and  peoples  of  Latin  America 
have  a  cause  for  mutual  congratulation  as  an  auspicious  omen  favor- 
able to  the  lofty  purpose  which  brings  them  here.  And  this  purpose  is 
no  other  than  to  make  of  these  meetings  the  fount  and  head  of  the  cur- 
rent of  cordiality,  mutual  appreciation,  and  community  of  interests 
which  will  some  day  make  the  Union  of  the  Republics  of  this  Hemis- 
phere, the  dream  of  our  several  liberators,  a  wonderful  reality. 

The  Congress  that  meets  to-day  for  the  first  time  is  a  happy  se- 
quence to  the  Financial  Conference,  because  they  both  represent  the 
two  main  currents  which  must  be  fed  to  make  such  union  effective, 
that  is,  on  the  one  hand  the  current  of  the  mind  which  runs  through 
the  golden  threads  of  thought  and  art,  and  on  the  other,  that  of  ma- 
terial needs  which  flows  through  the  channels  of  trade  and  industry. 

[644] 


A  UNION  IN   FRIENDSHIP 

Both  these  currents  have  always  run  simultaneously  and  inseparably 
on  parallel  lines,  the  one  above  the  other. 

Furthermore,  in  a  meeting  here  to-day,  before  the  altar  of  Minerva, 
in  these  sad  days  when  the  nations  that  have  always  been  the  masters 
of  philosophy  have  forsaken  the  temples  of  that  goddess  to  engage  in 
a  struggle,  the  cause  of  which  philosophy  itself  considers  to  be  abhor- 
rent, but,  as  to  the  outcome  of  which,  even  the  combatants  themselves 
are  in  the  dark, — a  struggle  before  which,  against  our  deepest  senti- 
ments, we  must  remain  as  mournful  spectators, — in  a  meeting  here 
to-day,  I  say,  I  feel  that  we  are  discharging  a  great  duty  to  civilization. 
Far  from  me  the  idea  of  insinuating  that  our  position  is  one  of  protest 
against  the  war,  because  it  is  not  so,  neither  in  thought  nor  in  fact. 
But  I  must  say  that  between  the  rage  that  moves  the  struggling  na- 
tions of  Europe  and  the  thought  that  prompted  the  meeting  of  the  Re- 
publics of  America  here,  this  day,  there  is  a  glowing  contrast,  and 
therefore  a  valuable  lesson  by  which  we  are  all  to  profit. 

In  the  history  of  America  we  have  reached  a  period  when  interna- 
tional niceties  and  conventionalisms  are  not  enough.  There  is  no  mis- 
taking the  manifestations  of  the  desire  of  the  several  peoples  to  see  the 
rings  of  such  conventionalities  broken  asunder  in  order  to  enter  into  an 
unincumbered  and  friendly  intercourse  among  themselves.  Let  us 
know  each  other  better  and  more  intimately ;  let  us  put  into  that  mutual 
knowledge  the  greatest  sincerity;  let  us  carefully  measure  our 
aspirations  and  desires ;  let  us  be  prudent  in  examining  the  causes 
which  at  first  sight  we  have  not  been  able  to  understand,  and  we  will 
soon  see  in  ever  increasing  gradation,  mutual  toleration,  mutual  appre- 
ciation, friendship,  and  even  warm  affection,  among  the  several  coun- 
tries in  this  Hemisphere. 

That  this  process  is  to  be  a  long  one,  no  one  can  doubt,  as  there  are 
many  difficulties  in  its  way,  not  only  of  a  geographical  character  but 
of  an  ethnical  nature  as  well.  But  one  will  after  the  other  give  way 
to  earnest  and  loyal  intent;  each  coming  generation  will  purify  from 
the  troubled  waters  of  humanity  its  own  dregs,  until  the  day  will  come 
when,  through  the  fusion  of  ideas  and  good  will,  the  waters  made  clear 
will  run  in  a  flood  of  equality  and  fraternity  of  the  people  of  America ! 

The  Venezuelan  Delegation  has  come  to  this  gathering  fully  con- 
vinced that,  while  collaborating  in  the  advancement  of  science,  it  will 
contribute  to  the  moral  progress  as  well  as  to  the  material  rapproche- 
ment of  the  American  Republics  and  at  the  same  time  to  the  uplift  of 
human  conscience.  And  in  taking  a  place  among  the  eminent  Dele-

gates  of  the  Americas,  we  have  the  honor  to  present  our  respects  to 
the  Chief  Executive  of  the  United  States  in  the  honored  person  of  the 
Vice-President,  the  Honorable  the  Secretary  of  'State,  to  the  worthy 
President  of  the  Second  Pan-American  Scientific  Congress,  to  whom 
we  are  indebted  for  their  gracious  words  of  welcome,  and  to  the  dis- 
tinguished colleagues  with  whom  we  are  to  share  for  a  few  days  the 
work  which  has  such  an  auspicious  beginning.

BY 
DOCTOR  CARLOS  MANUEL  DE  CESPEDES 

Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  from  Cuba  to 

the  United  States 

R.  VICE-PRESIDENT,  Mr.  Secretary  of  State,  Mr. 
Ambassador,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

Speaking  for  the  Cuban  Delegates,  I  have  the  honor 
to  address  your  Excellencies  in  grateful  recognition 
of  your  kind  greetings.  Intensely  do  we  feel  the  warm 
and  sincere  friendliness  of  your  cordial  welcome  and 
nospitality,  and  are  touched  with  emotion  by  the  noble  sentiments  so 
eloquently  expressed  here  today,  in  the  name  of  the  government  and 
the  people  of  the  United  States. 

Also  we  are  making  ardent  wishes  for  the  welfare  and  glory  of 
your  great  nation  and  for  the  personal  happiness  of  His  Excellency, 
the  President,  in  whom  so  many  rare  and  precious  gifts  are  as  innate 
as  that  clear,  illuminated  vision  with  which  the  prophets  ascend  the 
high  and  sacred  places  and  announce  the  revelation  of  a  new  era. 

The  impressiveness  of  this  solemn  and  historic  moment  is  second 
only  to  the  transcendency  of  our  common  object. 

To  the  Pan-American  Financial  Conference  were  submitted 
those  respective  interests  of  an  economic  character,  from  which  the 
unity  of  Consular  and  commercial  legislation,  business  intercourse, 
and  all  that  appertains  to  the  development  of  our  marvelous  natural 
resources  and  industries,  is  to  derive. 

But  it  was  a  most  felicitous  inspiration  indeed,  that  placed  the 
efficient  array  of  mental  forces  here  assembled,  like  an  army  of  light, 
at  the  service  of  Pan-  Americanism,  a  troth  of  freemen. 

[647] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

The  principle  of  inter-American  altruism,  to  which  our  union  is 
subservient,  forms,  however,  but  one  of  its  conspicuous  merits.  The 
belief  that  Pan-Americanism  is,  in  every  sense,  a  generous  doctrine, 
and  by  no  means  the  egotistic  policy  its  adversaries  have  sought  to  de- 
nounce, obtains  ample  justification  in  the  fact  that  the  golden  fruits  of 
this  Congress  are  to  be  presented  at  the  doors  of  humanity  on  the 
palms  of  our  outstretched  hands  as  a  New  Year's  offering  from  Pan- 
America  to  the  world. 

Men  of  deep  learning  and  good  will,  guided  by  the  star  of  science, 
are  come  from  every  nation  of  this  vast  hemisphere  to  meet  other  rep- 
resentative men  of  the  same  description  and  consider  together,  and 
solve,  perhaps,  not  merely  home  questions  of  a  necessarily  limited 
scope,  but  great,  universal  problems  of  absorbing  interest  to  the  mod- 
ern mind,  so  earnest  in  its  profound  askings  to  those  who  study  the 
art  of  good  government  and  moral  conduct,  or  who  pursue  the  secrets 
of  creation  and  evolution  through  the  mysterious  realms  of  nature's 
boundless  empire. 

Marshalled  at  this  hour  to  undergo  the  test  of  scientific  investi- 
gation, are  systems  and  theories,  hypotheses  and  axioms,  codes  and 
doctrines,  things  useful  materially  and  things  artistic,  idealogic  or  of 
pure  sentiment,  that  without  which  the  divine  poem  of  the  universe 
is  but  a  bewildering  combination  of  physical  energies  in  activity,  whose 
regression  to  chaos,  on  the  wings  of  time,  will  ever  be  contradicted, 
as  an  ultimate  conclusion,  by  the  fortifying  promises  of  our  spiritual 
essence. 

Thought  will,  nevertheless,  examine  and  aid  thought  in  this  great 
academy  of  enlightenment  and  mutual  service.  The  Americas  seek  the 
benefits  of  union  and  the  truths  of  science  in  an  unbiased  spirit,  and 
for  themselves  as  well  as  for  all,  Justice  and  Harmony. 

Nor  can  the  distant  thunder  of  the  million  cannon  alter  the  dig- 
nity of  our  sessions  or  distract  us  from  our  godly  purpose. 

In  the  name  of  Pan- America,  we  are  here  to  proclaim  the  wisdom 
of  the  supreme  laws  of  life  and  sit  in  judgment  on  the  sources  of  error, 
pain  and  death,  of  which  scientific  philosophy  has  already  said  that 
man  must  be  the  conqueror,  not  the  victim. 

It  is  with  such  ideals  at  heart  that  the  Delegates  of  Cuba  are 
among  you  in  this  great  Congress,  in  which  the  highest  mentality  of 
the  Americas  is  so  brilliantly  represented,  full  of  faith  in  the  outcome 
of  its  labor  and  example.

GENERAL  ANTHONY  WAYNE 

"Mad  Anthony  Wayne,"  a  splendid  figure  in  the  Revolutionary  period  of  our  history,  was  born  at 
Chester,  Pennsylvania,  January  1,  1745,  and  died  at  Erie,  Pennsylvania,  December  15,  1796.  He  fought 
gallantly  throughout  the  War  for  Independence,  one  of  his  most  famous  achievements  being  the  storm- 
ing of  Stony  Point.  His  patriotic  service,  both  as  a  soldier  and  a  statesman,  continued  after  the 

war  and   throughout   his   life.

MAJOR  S.  H.  M.  BYERS 

H,  MANY,  many  years  ago  this  tale 

Had  its  beginning  by  a  charmed  sea, 
So  beautiful  it  seemed ;  the  bending  sail, 

And  the  blue  sky,  like  that  of  Italy. 
There  grew  the  palm  and  there  the  lemon  tree, 
And  every  flower  that's  beautiful  to  see. 

Outside  the  bay  the  mighty  ocean  rolled 

In  liquid  mountains,  or  in  glist'ning  sea, 

And  moonlight  nights  some  wondrous  story  told 
To  listening  forests  and  to  meadowed  lea  ; 

And  lovers,  walking  in  the  moonlight,  heard 

Their  sweethearts'  voices  when  the  sea  was  stirred. 

Such  was  the  scene,  where  the  fair  city  stood, 
By  poets  called  "The  City  of  Fair  Dreams," 

Between  the  forest  and  the  shining  flood ; 

And  even  now,  to  strangers'  eyes  there  seems 

Some  lingering  glory  of  that  happy  day 
When  all  was  merry  in  old  Monterey. 

'Twas  at  a  time  when  Spanish  friars  bore 

For  many  years  their  long  and  kindly  sway 

In  grand  old  Missions  stretched  along  the  shore 
From  San  Diego  to  Francisco  Bay. 

Then  all  was  Spanish — manners,  speech  and  dress — 
Save  the  wild  Indians  in  the  wilderness. 

'Twas  just  as  if  some  island  in  the  past 

Had  drifted  off  from  its  beloved  Spain, 

And  by  some  wondrous  miracle  been  cast 
Along  the  shores  of  the  Pacific  main : 

Or  was't  Arcadia  that  had  been  lost, 

And  by  some  chance  had  hitherward  been  tossed? 

[660] 


GLORIETTA 

Be  it  as  it  may,  it  was  a  lovely  land, 

And  joyous  people  lived  along  its  coast  ; 

There  dance  and  music  wandered  hand  in  hand. 

And,  next  to  these,  the  horses  were  their  boast, 

No  Arab  tenting  in  the  desert  airs 

Had  steeds  so  swift,  so  beautiful  as  theirs. 

He  was  not  poor  who  had  his  desert  steed, 

With  silver  spangles  hung  on  neck  and  breast, 

Bejeweled  saddle,  beautiful,  indeed, 

And  wondrous  spurs  outshining  all  the  rest. 

It  was  a  sight  sometimes  to  look  upon, 

These  new-world  knights  and  their  caparison. 

Famed  was  the  land  for  other  things  as  well, 
Famed  for  fair  women,  beauteous  to  behold, 

With  black  eyes,  and  olive  skins  to  tell 

Castilian  blood;  and  forms  of  fairest  mold. 

Of  one  of  these,  had  I  a  harp  to  sing, 
I'd  tell  a  tale  not  all  imagining. 

For  there  was  one,  a  child  almost  in  years, 

Some  sixteen  summers  only  had  been  hers, 

But  in  that  clime  of  rose-leaf  and  of  tears, 
Love  wakens  early  and  its  passion  stirs. 

So,  Glorietta,  soft  as  any  dove, 

Just  laughed  and  loved,  yet  never  thought  of  love. 

Till  on  a  day  when  Ivan  came  to  woo, 

A  fisher's  lad,  he  was,  down  by  the  bay, 

Who  dived  for  pearls  of  many  a  heavenly  hue 
That  in  the  bottom  of  the  ocean  lay  ; 

And  here  and  there  a  pretty  shell  he  took 
To  Glorietta  with  a  lover's  look. 

Though  well  she  prized  these  pretty  courtesies, 

There  was  a  gulf  that  stretched  betwixt  the  two, 

A  stream  unbridged,  and  bridgeless,  most,,  as  seas, 
Without  a  road  that  any  lover  knew 

For  what  was  he?    A  common  fisher's  son, 
And  she,  the  heiress  of  a  Spanish  don. 

[661] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN   HISTORY 

O!  she  was  young,  and  beautiful  of  face, 
With  melting  eyes,  a  joy  to  look  upon, 

Big,  black  and  deep,  like  her  Castilian  race; 

Who  looked  too  long  was  sure  to  be  undone. 

That  Ivan  learned,  although  he  was  so  young, 

Yet  loved  the  sting  with  which  he  had  been  stung. 

Her  hair — such  hair — in  two  great  braids  fell  down 
Like  twisted  ropes,  black  as  the  ebon  night. 

Upon  her  beautiful  but  girlish  gown 

Of  simple  rose,  bedecked  with  lillies  white. 

Hearts  had  been  cold,  or  ice,  or  something  worse, 
Not  to  be  moved  by  eyes  and  hair  like  hers. 

She  was  akin  to  the  Don  Carlos  line; 

Though  orphaned  young  she  might  have  riches  still, 
For  the  Alcalde,  now  Count  Valentine, 

Had  many  lands  and  herds  on  every  hill. 
He  was  her  guardian,  and  could  well  endow 

Such  rose  of  beauty  as  he  saw  her  now. 

Upon  the  hill  where  his  gray  palace  stood, 

Fair  flowers  grew  of  every  hue  and  kind; 

The  bougainvillea,  with  its  purpling  flood, 

In  drifted  banks  the  walls  and  porches  lined. 

But  Glorietta,  far  beyond  compare, 

Was  fairest  yet  of  any  flower  there. 

And  when  the  harvest  of  the  vine  was  on 

In  the  sweet  autumns  of  that  blessed  clime, 

When  summer's  heats  and  summer's  suns  were  gone 
And  frosts  just  touched  the  orange  and  the  lime, 

Then  manly  youths  were  to  the  labor  pressed, 
And  Ivan,  too,  was  there  among  the  rest. 

So  it  fell  out,  as  in  that  long  ago, 

When  Ruth  and  Boaz  in  the  harvest  met, 

Love  had  its  way,  or  Ivan  wished  it  so, 
And  cast  himself  in  Glorietta's  net, 

Just  at  the  moment  when  she  brought  the  wine 
Sent  to  the  gard'ners  by  Count  Valentine. 

[662] 


GLORIETTA 

Twas  like  a  dream,  the  sudden  joy,  to  him ! 

Not  many  grapes  he  gathered  on  that  day, 
Nor  on  the  next,  for  other  things  now  drew 

His  one  attention  in  another  way, 
And  oftener  now  did  Glorietta  bear 

Her  jugs  of  wine  out  to  the  gard'ners  there. 

And  once,  unconsciously,  the  jug  she  held 

To  Ivan's  lips,  that  he  might  drink  his  fill, 

As  if  by  accident  his  face  she  touched, 

And  quick  he  felt  it,  the  immortal  thrill, — 

Such  thrill  as  comes  but  once  to  any  soul, 
Or  rich  or  poor,  it  is  love's  sweetest  toll. 

So  days  went  on,  the  vintage  was  not  done, 

And  every  day  young  Ivan  there  would  be 

To  .gather  grapes  in  the  sweet  autumn  sun, 
Or  pick  the  lemons  from  the  lemon  tree; 

But  most  to  see  his  sweetheart,  and  adore, 

And  every  day  she  welcomed  him  the  more. 

There  was  an  arbor  on  the  palace  ground, 
Hid  all  in  roses  of  sweet  loveliness, 

Where  all  was  silence  save  'the  gentle  sound 
Of  little  brooklets  and  the  wind's  caress. 

There  Glorietta  at  the  noontide  came : 

Who  wonders  now  that  Ivan  did  the  same ! 

So  in  sweet  converse  flew  the  blessed  noon, 

While  they  sat  looking  in  each  other's  eyes, 

Amazed  an  hour  could  fly  away  so  soon. 
But  time  to  lovers  very  quickly  flies ; 

Not  much  their  feast  on  either  bread  or  wine, 
On  other  things,  'tis  said,  do  lovers  dine. 

Yes,  talk  they  had,  and  may  be,  kisses,  some, 
For  they  were  glad  to  life,  and  everything: 

Youth  must  be  so — delicious  it  can  come, 

And  this  was  now  the  flower  of  their  spring. 

Give  love  a  bower,  in  vines  and  roses  drest, 

And  melting  eyes,  and  love  will  do  the  rest. 

[663] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

There,  in  their  moments  of  felicity, 

Young  Ivan  told  her  of  a  thousand  things; 

Of  the  pearl-divers  and  the  sapphire  sea, 

And  the  great  fishes  that  had  shining  wings ; 

Of  caverns  told,  and  rocks  that  overhung 

The  ocean  caves  where  the  pearl-fishes  clung. 

How  he  himself  the  dangers  underwent 

Of  diving  down,  his  trusty  knife  in  hand, 

To  cut  them  loose  from  walls  and  caverns  rent, 
Then  sudden  rise  and  cast  them  on  the  sand : 

How  once  a  shark  so  near  him  came  to  sup 

He  was  half  dead  before  he  could  come  up. 

How  he  had  seen  a  grotto  wonderful 

Down  in  the  ocean  with  the  waves  above, 

Not  e'en  the  shrieking  of  the  sad  sea-gull 
Was  ever  heard  in  that  enchanted  cove. 

Like  Desdemona,  Glorietta  heard, 

And  breathed  a  sigh  at  every  other  word. 

How,  fearing  not,  again  and  yet  again, 

He  dared  the  dangers  that  around  him  were, 

Not  in  some  hope  of  some  poor  little  gain, 

But  for  a  pearl  that  was  most  worthy  her; 

And  then  he  reached  to  give  it,  with  a  kiss — 
But  hark!  a  step  had  ended  all  their  bliss! 

It  was  the  Count,  his  face  in  purple  rage. 

Some  evil  soul  had  whispered  in  his  ear, 
How  every  day  these  lovers  did  engage 

In  guilty  amours,  and  he'd  find  them  here. 
Few  words  were  said,  there  was  not  much  to  say; 

The  place,  the  kiss,  were  they  not  plain  as  day  ? 

He  railed  a  little,  Glorietta  heard: 

"I  had  no  one  to  guide,  and  I  was  young," 
Her  eyes  were  weeping,  but  no  other  word; 

The  Count,  he  better  too  had  held  his  tongue ! 
He  was  himself  not  over  good,  they  say, 

Among  th'  elite  of  lovely  Monterey. 

[664] 


GLORIETTA 

Be  as  it  may,  he  had  his  Spanish  pride ; 

No  kin  of  his  might  ever  think  to  wed 
With  lowly  fisher-folk,  or  be  the  bride 

Of  one  who  labored  for  his  daily  bread. 
That  very  day  he  made  his  plans  to  send 

Young  Glorietta  to  a  distant  friend. 

He  had  a  cousin,  rich  and  proud  and  lone, 
Who  with  a  sister  by  the  desert  dwelt; 

What  took  him  there  had  never  quite  been  known, 
If  fate  or  love  with  him  had  coldly  dealt. 

Don  Eldorado  was  the  cousin's  name, 

A  bit  romantic  and  once  known  to  fame. 

There  Glorietta  will  be  safe  awhile, 

Thought  the  Alcalde,  when  she  reached  the  place, 
And  thinking  so,  a  long  and  happy  smile 

At  times  illumined  the  Alcalde's  face. 
"Time  conquers  love,  at  least  so  I  have  read, 

And  Ivan,  well  may  think  her  lost  or  dead." 

For  it  was  planned  that  never  any  word 

Should  pass  between  them  now  forever  more. 

Just  how  'twas  done  no  mortal  ever  heard, 

But  things  like  these  were  often  done  before — 

Some  false  arrest,  some  prison  far  away, 

Or,  at  the  worst,  there  still  would  be  the  bay. 

A  little  while,  though  broke  of  heart  at  first, 
And  Glorietta  almost  loved  the  scene— 

When  on  her  eyes  the  great  wild  desert*  burst 

Like  two  vast  seas,  with  mountains  in  between. 

The  porphyry  hills,  the  red  sea-walls  that  rise, 
Seemed  fit  for  gates  to  some  sweet  paradise. 

'Twas  in  the  morning,  and  God's  great  blue  tent 
Spread  over  mountains  and  the  desert  land; 

A  sapphire  glory  every  moment  lent 

Some  lovelier  color  to  the  desert  sand; 

A  little  while,  and  then  the  mountains  seem 
A  mystic  phantom,  a  forgotten  dream. 


•The  Mojare  and  the  Colorado  deserts  are  really  the  same  thing.     A  chain  of  the  Sierra  Madre  mountains  cutt  the 
1  lain  In  two  parts. 


[665] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Once,  on  a  height,  alone,  she  stood  and  gazed 
On  violet  mountains  and  the  desert  sea. 

A  sudden  sun  above  the  desert  blazed,— 

"O  World  "  she  cried,  "thou  wert  all  joy  to  me 

Were  this  to  last,  with  never  any  tear, 

And  Ivan  standing  close  beside  me  here." 

Now,  Eldorado,  though  not  very  young, 

Kept  in  his  breast  some  fires  not  yet  gone  out, 

Saw  Glorietta,  and  that  moment  flung 

Himself  before  her,  dead  in  love,  no  doubt. 

Love  at  first  sight,  I've  sometimes  heard  it  said, 
Affects  the  heart,  but  oftener  the  head. 

Be  as  it  may,  he  surely  was  most  kind 

To  Glorietta,  never  dreaming  how 
Her  heart  with  Ivan  there  was  left  behind, 

Nor  saw  the  shade  that  often  crossed  her  brow. 
One  thought  was  his  and  that  he  could  not  hide, 

The  hope  that  quickly  she  would  be  his  bride. 

Each  hour  he  thought  some  pleasant  thing  to  do 
To  please  her  fancy  or  to  kill  the  time; 

Rode  on  the  hills,  looked  on  the  desert  view, 

Or  climbed  the  canyons  glorious  and  sublime, 

Where  thundering  down  some  torrent  came  to  bless 
The  flowering  wastes,  the  desert's  loveliness. 

And  lovelier  things  he  thought  of,  and  less  grand 
The  purple  sage-brush  that  was  everywhere, 

The  yellow  poppy  of  the  sun  and  sand, 

Enchanting  contrast  to  her  raven  hair; 

And  Manzanita  berries,  crimson  red, 

And  purple  heather  from  the  desert's  bed. 

And  desert  holly  of  the  sanded  wild, 

Frost-white  and  fair  as  ever  fair  could  be, 

Sun-born  but  lone,  the  desert's  loveliest  child, 
Its  curling  leaves  God's  own  embroidery. 

All  these  were  hers,  and  others  yet  the  while, 
All  cheaply  purchased  by  a  single  smile. 

[666] 


GLORIETTA 

Day  in,  day  out,  the  old  new  lover  came; 

Was  it  not  time  to  answer  yes,  or  nay? 
Like  fair  Penelope,  who  did  the  same, 

She  prayed  delaying,  just  another  day, 
And  still  in  hopes  she  yet  might  surely  know 

If  Ivan  really  were  alive,  or  no. 

Just  then  a  letter  from  her  guardian  came; 

A  perfect  thunderbolt  it  must  have  been, 
Full  of  complaining  and  of  every  blame, 

What  under  heaven  was  it  she  could  mean? 
Could  it  be  so,  such  cold  ingratitude, 

.  Towards  one  who  always  was  so  kind  and  good  ? 

Oft  he  had  heard  of  how  his  cousin  sought 
Her  hand  in  marriage,  and  of  her  delay: 

He  was  amazed,  for  was  this  cousin  not 

What  any  girl  could  like  most  any  day? 

Rich,  and  genteel,  and  good  to  look  upon, 

And  then,  still  more,  he  was  a  Spanish  don. 

Then,  as  to  Ivan,  heaven  only  knew 

What  had  become  of  him:  perhaps  a  shark 

Had  simply  swallowed  him;  such  things  they  do! 

There  were  great  dangers  down 'in  caverns  dark, 

And  any  way,  her  passion  for  him  must 

Long  since  have  turned  to  ashes  and  to  dust. 

There  seemed  no  choice;  that  Glorietta  saw, 

This  unloved  marriage  was  a  thing  foregone. 

Her  guardian's  wishes,  were  they  not  a  law? 
She  was  as  helpless  as  a  mountain  fawn, 

And  yet  she  waited  still  another  day, 

And  never  answered  either  yes  or  nay. 

At  last  she  spoke.    It  was  a  ruse  to  find 

If  Ivan  really  were  alive  or  dead. 
"It  seems  to  me  that  I  could  speak  my  mind 

If  I  were  only  in  my  home,"  she  said. 
"There  in  our  garden  by  the  crystal  bay, 

There  I  could  answer  either  yes  or  nay." 

[667] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

"Let  it  be  so !  Tomorrow,"  he  replied, 

Not  guessing  all  her  reasons  nor  the  why; 

"On  my  fleet  steeds  across  the  hills  we'll  ride." 
He  did  not  notice  Glorietta  sigh. 

He  had  forgotten,  too,  about  the  slip 

That  sometimes  happens  'twixt  the  cup  and  lip. 

Next  day  it  was  a  pretty  cavalcade 

That  crossed  the  mountains  westward  to  the  sea. 
The  Don,  his  sister,  and  the  beauteous  maid, 

And  some  retaineres,  only  two  or  three. 
A  hundred  miles  was  nothing  then  to  ride, 

At  least  to  win  so  beautiful  a  bride! 

A  little  while,  and  now  in  Monterey, 

The  dear  old  city  by  the  sounding  sea, 

There  was  great  talk  among  the  young  and  gay 
Of  an  event  that  very  soon  would  be. 

"The  Don  was  rich,"  that  much  the  gossips  said, 

"And  Glorietta  had  come  home  to  wed." 

Not  in  whole  years  had  there  been  such  a  stir. 

The  Alcalde's  ward  was  now  a  beauty,  grown, 
All  eyes  were  turned  for  but  a  glimpse  of  her 

Or  the  great  Don  who  claimed  her  for  his  own. 
A  little  while,  and  wedding  bells  would  ring, 

And  guests  he  bid  up  to  the  revelling. 

Now  there  was  searching  of  old  wardrobes  through 
For  gowns  unique,  and  rich,  of  long  ago; 

Gold  satin  skirts,  and  rare  mantillas,  too, 

And  high-heeled  boots  with  gold  or  silver  bow; 

Queer  combs  from  Spain,  and  jewels  rare  and  bright, 
To  wear  on  Glorietta's  wedding  night. 

It  was  proclaimed  among  the  ladies  all, 

To  be  au  fait  one  must  be  gaily  dressed. 

And  there  would  be  a  Spanish  carnival, 

To  make  this  wedding  seem  the  very  best. 

The  men  also,  in  picturesque  array, 

Expectant  waited  for  the  wedding  day. 

[668] 


GLORIETTA 

Young  Ivan,  meantime,  had  been  lost  to  view ; 

No  trace  of  him  could  Glorietta  find, 
And  now  there  seemed  no  other  thing  to  do 

Then  wed  the  Don,  though  much  against  her  mind : 
So,  though  in  tears,  she  gave  a  half  consent, 

And  all  was  fixed,  just  as  her  guardian  meant. 

The  day  has  come,  the  sun  will  soon  be  down, 
A  hundred  guests  on  horseback  gaily  ride 

Up  to  the  palace,  quite  outside  the  town, 

To  greet  the  bridegroom  and  to  kiss  the  bride. 

As  was  the  custom  in  the  days  of  yore, 

Each  rider  held  his  fair  one  on  before. 

Down  by  the  sea  the  glad  old  mission  bells 

Ring  out  a  sweet,  a  half  voluptious  chime. 

The  saintly  friar  there  a  moment  tells 

His  beads  to  heaven  in  this  dear,  happy  time: 

Then  turns  his  steps,  he  must  be  there  to  say 
The  nuptial  vows  on  this  their  wedding  day. 

At  her  high  window  Glorietta  stood, 

And  saw  the  riders  in  their  glad  array, 

Yet  felt  that  moment  that  she  almost  could 

Have  thrown  herself  into  the  shining  bay: 

All  seemed  a  mockery  to  her,  the  scene, 

Not  less  her  wedding  dress  of  gold  and  green. 

Out  on  the  lawn  a  bright  pavilion  showed, 

Hung  round  with  flags  and  open  at  the  side, 

Already  circled  by  the  common  crowd, 

For  all  would  see  the  bridegroom  and  the  bride. 

Half  in  the  dark  one  silent  figure  leant 

Against  the  curtains  of  the  illumined  tent. 

A  little  while,  and  look!  The  priest  has  come, 

And  bride  and  groom  walk  slowly  down  the  line. 

In  a  few  words  she  is  bid  welcome  home, 
By  the  Alcalde,  old  Count  Valentine. 

In  smiles  and  tears,  she  waits  the  solemn  word : 
Yet  listen,  now,  a  singer's  voice  is  heard. 

[669] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

A  pretty  custom  in  the  land  they  had, 

That  girlhood  friends  about  the  bride  should  be, 
To  sing  some  song,  some  pretty  words,  nor  sad, 

To  wish  her  joy  and  all  felicity, 
Before  the  one  and  final  word  is  said, 

Before  the  priest  pronounced  her  duly  wed. 

And  so  tonight  the  singers  come  and  sing, 

And  to  a  lute  some  verses  improvise; 
Some  happy  thought,  perhaps  some  little  thing, 

Each'  for  herself  some  pretty  couplet  tries, 
Then  hands  the  lute  to  her  who  next  her  is, 

Who  smiling  sings  of  future  ecstasies. 

Meanwhile  the  bride,  who  is  all  listening 
To  honied  phrases  she  is  glad  to  hear, 

Herself  prepares  some  pretty  song  to  sing, 
For  see,  the  lute  to  her  is  coming  near! 

That  moment  look,  her  eyes  are  quickly  bent 
On  that  lone  figure  by  the  curtained  tent. 

Half  in  the  shadow,  halfway  in  the  light, 

Two  sad  dark  eyes  are  looking  straight  at  hers. 

Heavens !  it  is  Ivan,  come  this  very  night ! 
A  sudden  joy  her  inmost  bosom  stirs ; 

She  dare  not  speak,  a  hundred  wait  around, 

And  he  were  dead  if  near  the  palace  found. 

Quick  beat  her  heart,  it  was  her  turn  to  sing, 

A  prayer  she  breathed  for  guidance.    What  to  do  ? 

Her  voice  she  feared  had  sudden  taken  wing, 

And  Ivan's  eyes  were  piercing  through  and  through. 

Oh  would  some  saint  in  all  Love's  calendar 

That  moment  come  and  pitying  smile  on  her. 

She  waits  a  little — then  an  Indian  air 

Came  to  her  mind  that  he  had  often  sung. 

Not  one  would  know  it  of  the  many  there, 
For  it  was  only  of  the  Indian  tongue. 

She  took  the  lute  and  sang  a  melody 
Of  love  beside  the  Manzanita  tree: 

[67o] 


GLORIETTA 

The  moon's  above  the  ocean  now, 

Then  hasten,  love,  to  me, 
And  keep  the  vow  you  made  beside 

The  Manzanita  tree. 

The  stars  across  the  heavens  sweep, 

As  faithful  as  can  be. 
Let  us  be  faithful,  too,  beside 

The  Manzanita  tree. 

The  mist  is  on  the  mountain  top, 

The  mist  is  on  the  lea, 
Tonight,  tonight,  we  meet  beside 

The  Manzanita  tree. 

.    The  Manzanita  berry's  ripe, 

And  red  as  red  can  be, 
O  who  would  not  go  loving  by 
The  Manzanita  tree. 

What  if  another  claim  my  hand, 

My  heart,  my  heart's  with  thee, 
So  we  will  meet  tonight  beside 

The  Manzanita  tree. 

Each  sigh,  each  thought,  the  listening  lover  heard, 
And  knows  the  meaning  of  the  song  she  sings, 

And  ere  the  priest  has  said  the  solemn  word 
A  steed  all  saddled  to  the  gate  he  brings : 

A  sign,  a  gesture,  from  her  lover  there, 

And  they  are  gone,  and  no  one  knoweth  where. 

And  they  have  mounted  on  the  swiftest  horse, 
The  fleetest  steed  the  Alcalde  ever  owned. 

They  ford  the  Carmel  in  its  swiftest  course, 

The  old  sea-bay  behind  them  moaned  and  moaned, 

And  many  a  cypress  gnarled  by  storm  and  wind 
There  in  the  moonlight  they  have  left  behind. 

Into  the  mountains,  all  the  night  they  rode, 
On  narrow  ways,  along  the  canyon's  side,

THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

Where  moon  and  stars  no  more  the  pathway  showed, 
Till  the  bright  dawn  the  flying  lovers  ride, 

Then  change  their  qourse,  for  path  there  is  known, 
And  leave  the  horse  and  climb  the  rocks  alone. 

And  still  a  day,  now  downward  toward  the  sea, 

Some  ignis  fatmts  beckons  them  along ; 
Though  tired  of  limb  and  hungry  they  may  be, 

They  think  they  hear  some  soft,  sweet  siren's  song- 
It  is  the  sea-wave's  voice  alone  they  hear, 

Forever  sweet  to  any  lover's  ear. 

And  they  have  reached  the  hemmed-in  ocean's  shore, 

Cliffs  right  and  left,  behind  them  but  despair. 
Are  they  pursued,  there  is  not  any  more 

The  smallest  hope  of  further  flight  than  there: 
But  see,  a  ship  is  yonder  passing  by, 

Or  is't  a  phantom  of  the  mist  and  sky? 

Full-sailed  it  rides,  yet  scarcely  passes  on — 

"Tis  not  a  league,"  cried  Ivan,  "from  the  shore, 

Trust  to  my  arms:  a  thousand  times  I've  gone 

Down  in  the  deeps  and  braved  the  ocean's  roar. 

Here  it  is  calm,  and  yonder  ship  may  prove 

A  rest  from  flight,  a  refuge  place  for  love." 

And  they  are  gone  into  the  mist  and  wave, 

Far  out  of  sight  of  each  pursuing  one. 
If  in  the  sea  they  find  a  lover's  grave, 

Now  who  may  know,  since  mist  and  ship  are  gone ! 
Time  and  the  sea,  no  matter,  kind  or  rude, 

Can  cover  all,  pursuers,  and  pursued. 

Still,  from  yon  cliff,  where  fisher-folk  repair 
On  moonlight  nights  the  ocean  to  behold, 

'Tis  said  they  see,  if  but  the  mist  be  there, 
A  ship  all  shining  like  the  ship  of  old, 

And  on  the  deck  a  lady  walks  serene, 

Still  in  her  wedding  dress,  of  gold  and  green.

HELEN  ELOISE  BOOR  TINGLEY,  B.  S.,  M.  A. 

Y  PAPAL  sanction  Spain  claimed  upon  discovery  the 
right  of  possession  to  the  whole  of  the  New  World. 
It  was  a  natural  result  that  the  French,  English,  and 
Dutch  should  resent  this  assumption;  for  it  was  not 
in  keeping  with  their  spirit  of  enterprise  that  such  a 
claim  should  be  tolerated.  Therefore,  an  alliance  for 
mutual  welfare  and  defense  was  formed  among  the  adventurers  of  the 
nations  who  considered  their  rights  and  privileges  had  been  trans- 
gressed. 

What  appeared  to  them  as  the  arrogance  of  Spain  had  so  chafed 
them  that  their  slogan  meant  mortal  war  with  anything  Spanish  and 
their  name  came  to  stand  for  sordid  crime,  cruelty,  and  bloodshed.  Yet 
among  them  were  men  whose  motive  was  chivalry  and  whose  ideal  was 
justice.  Among  this  gang  of  piratical  adventurers  were  men  of  keen 
intellect  and  good  generalship.  Such  associations  in  all  these  nations 
were  bound  in  a  brotherhood  of  loyalty,  allegiance,  and  comradeship. 
Their  simple  code  of  laws,  which  was  as  forceful  as  martial  law,  bound 
them  to  share  the  necessities  of  life  with  their  fellows.  Each  had  a 
comrade,  a  constant,  loyal  companion  in  life,  who  succeeded  to  his 
property  at  his  death. 

The  members  of  these  associations  came  to  be  known  as  bouca- 
neers.*  The  centre  of  their  operations  was  in  the  Caribbean  Sea, 
among  the  islands  of  the  Florida  archipelago  and  the  keys  and  islands 
of  the  West  Indies,  especially  the  Island  of  Tortuga,  where  they  at  first 
found  maintenance  in  their  reprisals  on  the  Spaniards;  but  later,  be- 
coming more  lawless,  they  indulged  in  indiscriminate  piracy.  Their 
chief  occupation,  when  not  chasing  the  Spaniards,  was  the  chase  of 

•More  commonly  spelled  bucaneer,   or  buccaneer. 


[689] 


THE  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 

wild  animals.  The  skins  and  tallow  of  these  they  sold  or  bartered  with 
the  traders.  The  meat  was  smoked  and  sun  dried  in  a  peculiar  manner. 
Such  preserved  meat  was  called  by  the  natives  boucan,  whence  the 
derivation  of  the  name  of  the  organization. 

The  first  headquarters  of  these  professional  pirates  at  Tortuga, 
becoming  a  hornet's  nest  to  the  Spaniards,  was  destroyed  by  them  when 
the  first  opportunity  afforded  itself.  But,  like  disturbed  hornets,  the 
boucaneers  began  to  make  life  more  miserable  for  the  Spaniards.  Many 
towns  and  small  settlements  were  obliged  to  ransom  their  freedom 
from  attack.  Retiring  to  the  keys  off  the  southern  coast  of  Florida, 
they  used  them  as  retreats  after  plunderous  expeditions,  and  it  was  not 
until  the  American  Navy  had  been  well  established  that  the  last  of 
them  were  driven  from  their  haunts. 

The  terrors  of  the  Spaniards  were  increased  by  the  ghastly  ap- 
pearance of  the  boucaneers,  as  well  as  by  the  knowledge  of  their 
treacherous  profession.  Wearing  a  shirt  and  trousers,  dyed  in  the 
blood  of  cattle,  buskins,  a  narrow  peaked  cap,  and  a  leather  girdle,  into 
which  were  fastened  pistols,  sabres,  and  knives,  the  boucaneers  must 
have  presented  to  the  early  settlers  of  Florida  an  appearance  as  dis- 
agreeable as  the  Indians  in  their  war-paint.  Is  it  any  wonder  that 
when  in  1665,  two  and  a  half  centuries  ago,  St.  Augustine,  in  the  days 
of  its  primitive  protection  and  illy  constructed  fort,  should  have  quailed 
at  the  sight  of  several  vessels  of  freebooters  under  the  leadership  of 
one  of  the  most  desperate  of  these  men  or  terror? 

An  Englishman,  Captain  Davis,  with  seven  or  eight  vessels,  left 
the  Indies  to  intercept  the  Spanish  plate-fleet,*  returning  from  New 
Spain  to  Europe.  Failing  in  this  crafty  undertaking,  he  scoured  the 
coast  of  Florida  until,  arriving  at  St.  Augustine,  he  landed  and 
marched  upon  the  town. 

At  that  time  St.  Augustine  was  protected  with  a  fort,  built  largely 
of  wood  and  earth.  Coquina  rock  had  been  discovered  in  1580  and  had 
been  used  to  strengthen  the  fort.  Two  towers  had  been  erected.  The 
fort  was  octagonal  in  shape,  its  exterior  and  interior  walls  being-six- 
teen  feet  apart  filled  with  earth  well  rammed.  Dewhurst  says  that 
it  was  defended  with  two  hundred  men.  So,  while  St.  Augustine  was 
fortified,  the  fort  was  not  strong  and  the  garrison  was  an  ineffectual 
defense. 

But  to  this  fort  the  population  of  St.  Augustine  thronged.    Davis 

•"The  vessels  engaged  In  transporting  masses  of  precious  metal;  especially,  the  vessels  which  trans- 
ported  to  Spain  the  products  at  the  mines  In  Spanish    America." — The    Century    Dictionary.

with  his  gang  sacked  and  plundered  the  city  unresisted.  It  is  said  that 
at  that  time  the  inhabitants  were  so  poor  that  Davis  got  little  booty, 
and  we  can  well  believe  this  tale  when  we  read  letters,  written  about 
this  period,  which  tell  of  the  people's  sacrifices,  of  unpaid  labor,  and 
heavy  expenses. 

Finally,  the  fort  had  to  be  abandoned,  and  Davis  plundered,  but 
did  not  destroy  it.  After  his  departure  the  Spaniards  returned,  with 
the  realization  that  a  stronger  defense  was  necessary,  and  at  this  junc- 
ture begins  the  history  of  the  strong  fortification  of  St.  Augustine.
