What Was The Legacy Of The Topper Family In The 1930's
The Topper family legacy began across an ocean, docking on the shore of the unpaved streets of Philadelphia in 1748. The pioneers passing into the Ohio valley, once there, they followed the pilgrimage of the family priest, Father Patrick Terry to Morris, Illinois to establish Immaculate Conception in 1852; the city’s first Catholic Parish to provide for the spiritual needs of the Irish settlers, who came during the 1840’s to work on the Illinois & Michigan canal which maneuvered its way around the city.

    Mary Ann Hall's House Summary

    The Donna J. Seifert and Joseph Balicki’s article, Mary Ann Hall's House, discusses about the archaeological investigations conducted at two vacant lots located at a proposed building site for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. In the archaeological investigations, the archaeologists discovered material remains associated with a mid-nineteenth brothel called Mary Ann Hall’s (Seifert and Balicki 2005:59). In addition to the discovery of the brothel, the archaeologists also discovered other households from the mid-nineteenth century that were built around the same time as the brothel. The two excavation sites provides an interesting case study in North American historical archaeology because, archaeologists working…

    On "A Midwife's Tale": Analysis of Plot and Historical Method

    Laurel Ulrich’s work, A Midwife’s Tale, was regarded at the time of its publication as a groundbreaking achievement in American social history, and it has stood the test of time, as it is still lauded and part of historical scholarship today. The work focuses on the extensive diary of Martha Ballard, a midwife who was born in Massachusetts in 1735 and experienced the rapidly changing environment that was eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America. It is remarkable to generally consider the historical events and forces that occurred during her lifetime and how they reverberated throughout society- the American Revolution, the westward-expanding frontier, et cetera. She began her diary in 1785 at the age of fifty, and continued it faithfully until just before her death in 1812. Ulrich acknowledges early on the gravitas of the fact that the diary survived to see the present, as well as establishing that a great deal can be explicated and divulged from it about early American life. Its existence was known by scholars for some time, but the ramifications of its contents were not adequately explored. Central to the thesis of Ulrich’s work is an extensive discussion of just what a treasure trove of historical insight this document provides; the most rudimentary quandaries as to why Martha Ballard decided to keep this diary and how she chronicles her experiences set the stage for a compelling, thorough, and fresh investigation of the medical profession, gender roles, sexual mores, social and familial structures, and most importantly, how people in this era dealt with the crises of their lives.…

    The Puritans of Massachusetts Bay

    The Massachusetts Bay Colony was an English settlement in North America in the early 1600’s. It was formed by Puritan settlers fleeing religious persecution in England. The lands which became the Massachusetts Bay Colony had previously been inhabited by Native Indians. The Company of Massachusetts Bay received a charter to start a settlement in the New World in 1629. The charter granted the company the right to establish a settlement. The passengers of the “Arbella” who left England in 1630 with their new charter had great expectations. They could not practice their religion beliefs in England, and thus, came to Massachusetts for religious freedom and purification. The Massachusetts Bay Colony became the only English chartered colony whose board of governors did not reside in England. This independence helped the settlers to maintain their Puritan religious practices with very little oversight by the King, and Anglican Church.…
