Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...palmy days of our fire department. It was during these years that the highest point of interest was reached. Already "steam" loomed in the distance, though subjected to scoll' and ridicule, both in and out of the department. The funeral of the hand engine service commenced on the day the first steamer landed in the city. But more of this later on. We are in the midst of the most exciting years of the fire department life and we must make the most of it, for with them went out much of the poetry and personality peculiar to the hand engine service. The new enjrincs for the Young Mechanics and Columbians were now in full commission. Roth companies were: it their best, and so were all the other organizations, --alert, vigorous, and full of enthusiasm. Two more hand engines were added to the service, and then the record ceases. Soon the department entered upon a new era. The old engine, Columbian, No. 5, built by Messrs. Durfee & Delano, in i827, was put in good repair and the name and number changed to Acushnet, No. 4. It was stationed at Mount Pleasant in the Sepulchre, which had been moved from North Second street to the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Durfee streets. A company was formed Feb. 2, i857, as follows: Foreman, Joseph W. Cornell. First Assistant, Pelcg W. Make. Second Assistant, Octavius C. Smith. Clerk, George W. Maker. Gideon P.

Cause for Alarm
Author: Amy S. GreenbergPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400864925
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Though central to the social, political, and cultural life of the nineteenth-century city, the urban volunteer fire department has nevertheless been largely ignored by historians. Redressing this neglect, Amy Greenberg reveals the meaning of this central institution by comparing the fire departments of Baltimore, St. Louis, and San Francisco from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Volunteer fire companies protected highly flammable cities from fire and provided many men with friendship, brotherhood, and a way to prove their civic virtue. While other scholars have claimed that fire companies were primarily working class, Greenberg shows that they were actually mixed social groups: merchants and working men, immigrants and native-born--all found a common identity as firemen. Cause for Alarm presents a new vision of urban culture, one defined not by class but by gender. Volunteer firefighting united men in a shared masculine celebration of strength and bravery, skill and appearance. In an otherwise alienating environment, fire companies provided men from all walks of life with status, community, and an outlet for competition, which sometimes even led to elaborate brawls. While this culture was fully respected in the early nineteenth century, changing social norms eventually demonized the firemen's vision of masculinity. Greenberg assesses the legitimacy of accusations of violence and political corruption against the firemen in each city, and places the municipalization of firefighting in the context of urban social change, new ideals of citizenship, the rapid spread of fire insurance, and new firefighting technologies.

The Frederick Douglass Papers
Author: Frederick DouglassPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300246811
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 814
Book Description
The journalism and personal writings of the great American abolitionist and reformer Frederick Douglass Launching the fourth series of The Frederick Douglass Papers, designed to introduce readers to the broadest range of Frederick Douglass's writing, this volume contains sixty-seven pieces by Douglass, including articles written for North American Review and the New York Independent, as well as unpublished poems, book transcriptions, and travel diaries. Spanning from the 1840s to the 1890s, the documents reproduced in this volume demonstrate how Douglass's writing evolved over the five decades of his public life. Where his writing for publication was concerned mostly with antislavery advocacy, his unpublished works give readers a glimpse into his religious and personal reflections. The writings are organized chronologically and accompanied by annotations offering biographical information as well as explanations of events mentioned and literary or historical allusions.
