USMNT Formation May Be a Question, But Understanding of Tactics is More Important
The number one thing that fans and journalists alike tend to do once a lineup is introduced is analyze the formation. Jurgen Klinsmann has tried many formations for the USMNT in the last couple years and that continues just a little over one week before the start of their World Cup campaign. One can say that Klinsmann is trying to make it harder for his opponents to scout the USMNT. Regardless, the more important element is that the players are coached on what their expected role is on the field along with the tactical approach.
The talk for the majority of World Cup training camp was the implementation of a diamond midfield. This was a 4-4-2 look with Jermaine Jones anchoring the back. The recurring discussion was how this did not truly free up Michael Bradley at the top of the diamond. The players looked to be having trouble adjusting with Graham Zusi and Alejandro Bedoya collapsing more than necessary. After the match The Shin Guardian's Matthew Tomaszewicz said the players told him they were not really schooled on tactics.
When the lineup was announced for the USMNT's final Road to Brazil match against Nigeria the focus was on three defensive midfielders. This could not be a diamond anymore. This had to be a 4-2-3-1 with Jones and Kyle Beckerman shielding the back four. That makes sense going into a match with Ghana. However as the game unfolded, Jones would move left when the USMNT had possession. Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore looked to be paired up at times, but also switching as the lone striker. Bedoya was also sitting back near the back line and paying close attention to his defensive responsibilities. The formation was being called the "Christmas tree."
The first half of the Nigeria match was easily the best played half of soccer in recent memory for the USMNT. It was not the formation. It was an understanding of responsibilities. Beckerman was in the true defensive midfield role. Bradley had liberty to get forward. Jones was expected to show his athleticism to cover the defense and open up an option on the left when in possession.
Personnel has a big effect on what can happens in a match. However, it is employing those players with clear tactics and roles that makes a game plan come together. Perhaps this is a chicken or egg discussion, but do not put so much merit in a Klinsmann formation. These words will make certain fans' and analysts' blood boil. Think about the responsibilities of the players combined with the tactical approach and let's hope those are clearly communicated over the next week.

Great experience...very well managed. We were impressed. Staff helpful.
October 3, 2013
The entire hotel felt very modern and high-tech while still comfortable and welcoming . I shared a FORUS A room with my husband, and it was definitely a step above hotel rooms I've had in the past, from the sound system built into the bed frame to the toilet (with more controls than usual for even a Japanese toilet) and the shower. Staff were helpful and mostly could speak English. The front desk offered cell phone and bike rentals too, which was a pleasant surprise. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The wagyu was fantastic, but I feel like there might be better places to go for a nice dinner. ...

May 29, 2015 - I bought the brown and absolutely love it. As others have said, it's well made and the photo doesn't do it justice. I wanted a change purse that would accommodate bills and cards as well. It's perfect (and pretty).
April 18, 2015 - I like a large coin purse that I can get my fingers into and this is the one to have! Very good quality and attractive.
April 9, 2015 - Very sweet little coin purse, beautifully crafted!
January 16, 2015 - I gave a couple of these as gifts. They are so well made and attractive, I wish I had gotten one for everybody.
December 7, 2014 - The pictures don't do these purses justice. I got the white, red and gold ones and they are quite beautiful and well made.

Red, White, and Blue Berry Trifle - Martha Stewart Recipes {love the blue cake stand!!}
4th of July - Red, White, and Blue Berry Trifle - Martha Stewart Recipes Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds raspberries (5 cups)3/4 cup confectioners' sugar1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from 1 large orange)10 ounces mascarpone cheese (1 1/3 cups)1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extractFine salt20 to 24 ladyfingers (from a 7-ounce package), broken into 1-inch pieces3/4 pound blueberries (2 1/2 cups) Directions In a medium bowl, combine raspberries with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and orange juice. With the back of a fork, lightly mash berries to release their juices and let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together mascarpone and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth. Whisk in cream, vanilla, and pinch of salt and whisk until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes.Cut one or two pieces parchment 1 inch taller than side of an 8-inch springform pan and line inside of pan. Place half the ladyfingers in pan and top with half the raspberry mixture. With a small offset or rubber spatula, spread half the whipped cream over berries. Tap pan gently on counter to remove air bubbles. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers, raspberry mixture, and whipped cream. Top with blueberries and refrigerate until whipped cream is stiff and cookies have softened, about3 hours (or, tightly covered with plastic, up to 3 days). To serve, unmold trifle and peel away parchment. Cook's Note We used cake sparklers on this trifle. They should only be used outdoors, according to package instructions; alternatively, look for sparkle candles, which will give you a similar look. Both are available from many online baking-supply stores.

The post Reading into Mockingbird: The Jim Crow South appeared first on History Detectives.]]>
"Cry about the simple hell people give other people—without even thinking. Cry about the hell white people give colored folks, without even stopping to think that they're people, too." (Chapter 20)
Before and after the eugenics craze, something kept black southerners from achieving economic and civic equality. That something was Jim Crow. Jim Crow was the name of a theatrical character developed by Thomas Dartmouth "T.D. Daddy" Rice in the 1830s. Legend has it that Rice saw an enslaved man sing the song "Jump Jim Crow" while doing a jig somewhere in the South and decided to build an act around it. Rice blackened his face and performed as an exaggerated, stereotyped composite of an enslaved African American. Many copied Rice and this type of performance became known as minstrelsy. Minstrel shows were popular entertainment for whites throughout the second half of the 19th century in all parts of the country. The character of Jim Crow helped cement stereotypes about African Americans, particularly in the South, as unintelligent, lazy, and light-hearted. These stereotypes comforted southern whites and helped them justify slavery. The Jim Crow character became so pervasive, it spread to other forms of entertainment, such as the game for children pictured below:
After the Civil War, "Jim Crow" took on a new meaning: the term was adopted to refer to a system of laws and unwritten codes meant to keep newly freed slaves from fully participating in American society. Along with keeping African Americans from frequenting the same restaurants, movie theaters, schools, etc. as white Americans, Jim Crow laws also kept African Americans out of the positions of power. The educational organization Facing History and Ourselves has made an excellent short film explaining how Jim Crow worked in the South from Reconstruction through the Great Depression. Check it out here:
Understanding Jim Crow
We see Jim Crow rules play out in many ways in To Kill A Mockingbird, most obviously with regard to Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a poor, white woman named Mayella Ewell. When Tom takes the witness stand, Atticus Finch, his lawyer, draws the true story out of him: that Mayella made sexual advances toward Tom that he spurned. Mayella's abusive father, Bob, witnessed everything and then beat Mayella in a rage. Readers are meant to understand that Bob Ewell's rage stemmed from Mayella breaking the Jim Crow sanctity of white, southern womanhood. In telling the truth on the witness stand, Tom makes a further transgression against this code. He deigns to feel sorry for Mayella. Prosecutor Mr. Gilmer draws Tom out in the following scene from Chapter 19.
"You did all this chopping and work from sheer goodness, boy?"
"Tried to help her, I says."
Mr. Gilmer smiled grimly at the jury. "You're a mighty good fellow, it seems— did all this for not one penny?"
"Yes, suh. I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more'n the rest of 'em—"
"You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?" Mr. Gilmer seemed ready to rise to the ceiling.
The witness realized his mistake and shifted uncomfortably in the chair. But the damage was done. Below us, nobody liked Tom Robinson's answer. Mr. Gilmer paused a long time to let it sink in.
Tom's mistake was in regarding himself above Mayella. The townspeople's disapproval is evidence that, under Jim Crow, even the most honorable black person should feel himself below even the most degraded white person. The community seeks to correct this reordering of the racial hierarchy, eventually by convicting innocent Tom Robinson, but not before attempting to lynch him.
Between 1877 and 1950, 242 African Americans were lynched in Alabama. Facing History and Ourselves has created another excellent video on The Origins of Lynching Culture in the United States. Watch to learn what lynching means, and how it was used as a violent tool against African Americans in the Jim Crow South to maintain a white supremacist society.
Origins of Lynching
The attempted lynching of Tom Robinson is one of the most powerful, and yet most incredible scenes in To Kill A Mockingbird. Throughout the novel, Atticus and Scout represent seasoned and naïve versions of human reason, which, according to Lee, are antithetical to racism. As Atticus stands watch over the incarcerated Tom, a reason-less lynch mob gathers to murder the prisoner. Atticus gently tries to spark reason in these men, asking his oft-repeated "Do you really think so?" which causes much soul-searching in his children. But these men are so determined. They have even planned ahead and distracted the town sheriff with a fake emergency elsewhere. The mob disperses before the lynching takes place only because Scout, Jem, and Dill arrive on the scene. Scout innocently calls out to a face she recognizes, Walter Cunningham's, and through her desperate attempts at conversation, reminds him of his and her families' shared experiences. She reminds him of his own humanity and reasonable nature, sucking the wind out of the irrational, hateful, murderous act he and his compatriots are poised to commit.
One would like to believe that some or all lynchings could have been avoided through a child's unwitting protest. However, given the prevalence of children in photographs of lynchings, it seems the opposite happened most of the time. White southerners actually had an incentive to show their children lynchings and teach them how to lynch. Unless children learned the complicated, senseless violence of Jim Crow early on, they might not internalize and maintain it. In an attempt to win more white supporters to their cause, the NAACP asked people to consider the feelings of white children who viewed lynchings in a 1935 pamphlet:
Do not look at the Negro. His earthly problems are ended.
Instead, look at the seven WHITE children who gaze at this gruesome spectacle.
Is it horror or gloating on the face of the neatly dressed seven-year-old girl on the right?
Is the tiny four-year-old on the right old enough, one wonders,
to comprehend the barbarism her elders have perpetuated?
There are many other instances in To Kill A Mockingbird where Jim Crow rules are referenced, followed, and violated. Where do you see the Jim Crow policies playing out in the novel? What do you think of Aunt Alexandra's teatime conversations with Maycomb women? Or Calpurnia taking Jem and Scout to her church? Or Dolphus Raymond pretending to be an alcoholic to explain why he chooses to be in a relationship with a black woman? Head over to our Goodreads page to discuss how the twisted ethics of this era play out in the novel.

The post The Hirschfeld Century: Find the "Ninas" appeared first on History Detectives.]]>
To be drawn by American artist Al Hirschfeld during the 20th century was an exciting occurrence for actors, singers, dancers, and performers. To be "Hirschfelded" was a sign that one had achieved a certain level of celebrity. Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minelli, Woody Allen, and many other big-name stars were immortalized in ink by Hirschfeld, but there is another name that must be mentioned: Nina.
Born in 1945, Nina was the daughter of Al Hirschfeld and actress Dolly Haas. In the months after her birth, Hirschfeld began hiding her name in his drawings as a joke for \family and friends. He included the number of "Ninas" to the right of his signature. Soon this running joke became a national obsession. People loved finding the "Ninas!" So much so that when Hirschfeld tried to end the "harmless insanity," he received a mountain of letters begging him not to stop.
How many "Ninas" can you spot in the work below?

The post Reading into Mockingbird: Eugenics, the Ewells, and Tom Robinson appeared first on History Detectives.]]>
"Everybody in Maycomb, it seemed, had a Streak: a Drinking Streak, a Gambling Streak, a Mean Streak, a Funny Streak."
– To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 13
As we read further into To Kill a Mockingbird this summer, we see the two forces of race and class pulling at the main characters in direct and subtle ways. Tom Robinson, the African American man fasely accused of rape, and the poor, white Ewell family, specifically the father Bob and eldest daughter Mayella, are all subject to the preconceived biases of the people of Maycomb. To understand the history of Harper Lee's language describing these characters, we need to examine an ideology started in the 19th century called eugenics.
The book that inspired this dark chapter in American history is Hereditary Genius: an inquiry into its laws and consequences by Sir Francis Galton, a copy of which is in the Patricia Klingenstein Library at the New-York Historical Society. Galton coined the term "eugenics," which roughly means "good origins" in Greek, in 1883. In Hereditary Genius Galton manipulated what was known about heredity and genetics to suggest that if humans with the best qualities had children, and humans with the worst qualities did not, then the human race could eventually become free from disease or impairment of any kind.
Similarly, Social Darwinists held that the "fittest" people must naturally be at the top of society, and therefore concluded that white, wealthy, educated people were naturally the best people. Building on this idea, Galton created broad classifications like "feeblemindedness" and "degeneracy" to identify populations with the worst qualities, primarily African Americans and poor whites. Eugenics was used to prove that "unfit" people needed to be prevented from passing their "degeneracy" on to future generations. By the early 20th century, laws were established that limited the number of children people could have, particularly those identified as genetically "immoral and inferior."
See how a 1914 textbook explained eugenics to school children on the Facing History and Ourselves website.
In addition to legal precedents, eugenic ideology seeped into American cultural views on race and class, and they are written all over the pages of To Kill a Mockingbird. An example of class bias is in the description of the novel's main antagonists, the members of the poor white Ewell family. You'll find that eugenicists' descriptions of actually families bear a striking resemblance to the descriptions of the fictional Ewells.
The Eugenics Record Office, an organization founded in 1910 in Cold Springs Harbor, NY, used the findings from an 1877 study of a New York family to create and publish their own pseudo-scientific study of "degenerate" families. Entitled The Jukes; a study in crime, pauperism, disease, and heredity (a copy of which is held by the Klingenstein Library), it concluded that the Jukes were genetically and incurably degenerate in their habits and abilities.
The Jukes' home, as described by eugenicist Arthur Estabrook:
Between huge clefts in the rock are small patches of land once the home of the early Jukes, but now desolate except for the wild animals which live in the caves once used by the Jukes as both homes and places in which to hide stolen booty…Most of the original Jukes were squatters on the soil and became owners by occupancy. They lived in stone or log houses, usually of one or at the most two rooms, the men, women, and children intermingling freely.
Compare this to the description of the Ewell's property: "Maycomb's Ewells lived behind the town garbage dump in what was once a Negro cabin…Nobody was quite sure how many children were on the place. Some people said six, others said nine; there were always several dirty-faced ones at the windows when anyone passed by." (Chapter 17)
In Scout's initial description of the Ewells, she notes that "no public health officer could free them from congenital defects, various worms, and the diseases indigenous to filthy surroundings." The Ewells are depicted as Maycomb's burden. "No economic fluctuations changed their status—people like the Ewells lived as guests of the county in prosperity as well as in the depths of a depression." In all, the Ewells are made out to be as repulsive as possible, both for how they destroy Tom Robinson's life, and for how they "let down" the white race, as well.
While the Ewells are examples of how eugenics reinforced negative stereotypes of poor whites, the primary and most destructive preoccupation of the eugenics movement was the protection of the white race from "inferior" blacks. To Kill a Mockingbird's plot shows the horrifying repercussions of this when African American Tom Robinson is accused of raping white Mayella Ewell. To us, Robinson is clearly proven innocent through Atticus Finch's defense, but the all-white Maycomb jury convicts him of this crime.
Eugenics was a keystone in Adolf Hitler's ideology, and towards the end of To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout's class discusses Hitler's treatment of the Jews during a current events report. Scout's classmate Cecil notes that Hitler is persecuting Jews and "washin' all the feeble-minded." The class's teacher Miss Gates asserts that "over here, we don't believe in persecuting anybody," an obviously incorrect statement, in light of the events surrounding these characters.
In real life, some Alabamans were interested in Hitler's methods. State Public Health Officer Dr. James Norment Baker said in 1934 that "the whole civilized world will watch, with keen interest, the bold experiment launched by Germany…" and Eugenics Record Office co-founder Harry Laughlin was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Heidelberg for advancing the "science of racial cleansing."
The Nazis' use of eugenic theory so outraged the world that America was forced to confront its own use of these ideas. Eugenic laws and organizations fizzled in the 1950s and '60s, though these ideas have never completely vanished from the way some Americans articulate race and class.
As you read To Kill a Mockingbird, do you see other instances of Maycomb county locals expressing eugenic theory? How about in the world today? To discuss these issues and the book in depth, head to our Goodreads page.

Allan Pinkerton was a real detective in American history. We've learned about the formation of his detective agency (Part I), his female gumshoe Kate Warne (Part II), and the agency's success in foiling an assassination attempt on President-elect Abraham Lincoln (Part III).
In our final blog of this series, let's find out more about Pinkerton, the Civil War spy.
President Abraham Lincoln was quite impressed with the capabilities of Allan Pinkerton. When Lincoln was still acting as an attorney for the Chicago-based railroad company, Rock Island and Illinois Central, he witnessed the rising reputation of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency as it battled railroad and express robberies and embezzlement. Lincoln, of course, also carried a personal debt to Pinkerton for his vigilance in preserving his safety as he traveled through Baltimore on his way to the presidential inauguration.
In 1861 as the nation was in the mood for battle, Lincoln asked Pinkerton to provide security in the capital. Lincoln's advisors, however, had other people in mind for the job, so General George B. McClellan, who had been president of the Chicago railroad and knew of Pinkerton's capabilities, instead tapped Pinkerton.
McClellan wanted Pinkerton to use his skills to provide political and military intelligence by infiltrating the groups of Southern sympathizers in and around Washington, D.C. Pinkerton relished this role, taking on the nom de guerre of Major E. J. Allen. Two of his detectives, Kate Warne and Timothy Webster, became key members of this team. Warne would pose as a displaced southern belle and use her charm to lure information out of Confederate spies and supporters. She and Pinkerton often traveled around as a married couple to better disguise themselves in certain circles.
Webster, a former New York City policeman, was assigned to travel to the Confederate states of Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky in order to gather information. He was so good at his undercover role that he was even offered the position of Colonel of the Second Arkansas Regiment! He gracefully declined and moved on to Richmond, Virginia, with so many letters of recommendation that Confederate Secretary of War Judah Benjamin recruited him to be a secret courier between Washington, Baltimore, and Richmond.
All was going well for the double agent until he fell ill and Pinkerton sent two men, John Scully and Pryce Lewis, to Richmond to check on his health. At the same time, officials in Washington released three women accused of being spies and sent them back to Virginia where they recognized Scully and Pryce from their interrogations in Washington.
The two men were sentenced to death. Though it was known that they were visiting their friend, Webster was held in such high regard that he was not suspected of espionage. The Confederates were shocked and embarrassed when, in a jail cell confession to a priest, Scully revealed that Webster was a spy for the Union. Webster was arrested and the two men were released in exchange for providing this information.
Even with pleas and threats from Lincoln, McClellan, and Pinkerton, the Confederates would not back down and agree to a prisoner exchange, which had been the norm until then. Timothy Webster was the first Civil War spy to be executed.
Pinkerton said: "No braver nor truer man died during the War of the Rebellion than Timothy Webster."

Now, you might be asking yourself, what does ice cream have to do with Independence Day? While ice cream might not be directly related to the birth of America, it was a popular dessert among our Founding Fathers and Mothers. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Dolly Madison were just a few of the many 18th-century sweet tooths!
On Saturday, families visiting the New-York Historical Society will use all of their senses to learn about the history of ice cream. Stop by to smell mace and orange blossom water (popular ice cream flavors from the past); see replicas of centuries-old kitchen utensils up close; try out our old-fashioned ice cream machine (which is powered by a hand-crank); and, finally, taste ice cream made from a recipe written in 1665!
To keep the celebration going all weekend long, head out to Governor's Island to visit Revolution: NYC & the War for Independence, a special pop-up exhibition curated by our very own Student Historian Teen Leaders!

"Are we poor, Atticus?"
Atticus nodded. "We are indeed."
-To Kill A Mockingbird, Chapter Two
The narrator of To Kill A Mockingbird, the adult version of the novel's protagonist, Scout Finch, describes the fictional "tired old town" of Maycomb, Alabama, as a place where poverty slowed the pace of life. "A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with…" she recalls. Through Scout's words, author Harper Lee could have been describing much of America in the 1930s when millions of Americans struggled to survive during the Great Depression.
At the end of the 1920s, the virtual collapse of the American economy caused the Great Depression—panic set in when the stock market crashed on "Black Tuesday," October 29, 1929. By the Fall of 1932, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, an important stock market index, lost 89 percent of its value. As Americans lost faith in their banking system, they began withdrawing their meager remaining funds en masse. "Bank runs," as they were dubbed, caused thousands of banks to shudder their doors; their coffers were emptied. As banks failed, so did businesses, leaving millions out of work. In March, 1933, 30 percent of the US civilian labor force was unemployed, the highest percentage in American history.
The Great Depression hit the rural South hardest, where To Kill A Mockingbird is set. Throughout the 1920s, natural disasters, including a boll weevil infestation and widespread flooding devastated southern fields and with them, the region's economy. The Great Depression only exacerbated these miserable conditions. Cotton prices fell from 18 cents per pound in 1929 to only six cents per pound in 1932. In To Kill A Mockingbird, we see two types of farmers that were deeply affected by the Depression: the Cunninghams, a family of white subsistence farmers, and the Robinsons, an African American family who worked as seasonal farm hands (probably sharecroppers). In the novel's second chapter, Atticus explains to Jem and Scout that the crash hit folks like the Cunninghams hardest, and that their hardship had ripple effects on the whole town's economy. The novel's narrator, an adult Scout looking back on her childhood, recalls her father Atticus explaining that "professional people were poor because the farmers were poor. As Maycomb County was farm country, nickels and dimes were hard to come by for doctors and dentists and lawyers." Instead of nickles or dimes, the Cunninghams pay Atticus in crops."
Atticus was not completely right, however: families like the Robinsons, not the Cunninghams, experienced the worst of the Depression. Fifty percent of all African Americans, most of whom lived in the South, were unemployed by 1932. Many worked as farm hands like the Robinsons. In 1935 Georgia, 88 percent of black farmers worked land they did not own. Searching for economic opportunity and safety from pervasive racial violence in the Jim Crow South, record numbers of African Americans began migrating north and west starting in 1914. After 1930, migration slowed as African Americans were shut out of jobs in favor of whites. As unemployment grew and general frustrations mounted, blacks bore the brunt of it. Between 1877 and 1950, almost 4,000 African Americans were lynched in the South.
After President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in 1933, he signed the Federal Emergency Relief Act into law. This act created the first system of federal programs designed to get food, money, and medicine directly to citizens in need. These programs along with others were designed to manage the banking crisis, regulate currency, and create jobs. Together, they became the New Deal. Americans had mixed views on government relief—some saw it as a ray of hope, others a challenge to their dignity. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Mr. Cunningham rejects relief aid and is "willing to go hungry" to not take a government job and keep farming. The novel's antagonist, Bob Ewell, eagerly accepts relief checks, never looks for work, and wastes his money. These characters represent extremes: millions of Americans accepted relief and lived as best they could. Listen here as Studs Terkel, a famous oral historian, interviews Eileen Barthe, a government relief caseworker during the Depression who cannot forget the hurt pride of one man forced to ask for help.
What are your thoughts on the Robinsons, Ewells, Cunninghams, and other characters in To Kill A Mockingbird who were affected by the Great Depression? Head over to our Goodreads page where you'll soon find discussion questions on these themes, including the "moral universe" of the novel.

The post Salt by Helen Frost Wins Our Children's History Book Prize appeared first on History Detectives.]]>
Among dozens of excellent submissions, one book stood out to the panel of historians, educators, and families: Salt, by Helen Frost. The story weaves a tale of cross-cultural friendship threatened by the War of 1812. Written in verse, Salt is set in the Indiana Territory at the start of the conflict and unfolds through the perspectives of two fictional protagonists: a white boy named James and a Myaamia boy named Anikwa. Through these boys' experiences, we see how this virtually forgotten war affected relationships between individuals and the survival of indigenous people in the young United States.
NYC Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña presented the award to Helen Frost here at N-YHS this past Thursday in front of an audience of hundreds of local students, as you can see below.
Ms. Frost also met with families in our Reading into History family book club this past Saturday for an in-depth discussion of her beautifully told story. She signed participants books, and they all signed one of her copies of the book, too!
If you didn't make it either event, don't fret! We recently sat down with author Helen Frost. In our interview, she shared her writing process and the history behind Salt. And don't forget to pick up a copy of the prize-winning novel Salt at our Museum store.
DiMenna Children's History Museum: What were you like between the ages of 9 and 12?
Helen Frost: I loved to be outdoors, riding my bike or roller-skating or playing kick-the-can with the neighbor kids after dinner. I was interested in butterflies and wildflowers and moss and lichen. I loved to read and I began to write. Because I am the 5th of ten children, when I was between the ages of 9 and 12, some of my siblings were babies and others were becoming adults.
DCHM: What is your favorite time period in American history? Why?
HF: I'm interested in the way one thing leads to another, and the inter-connection of events. All events are related and continue to affect us. I try to be aware of how and why that is so.
DCHM: What is your favorite place in New York City? Why?
HF: Maybe 19 Union Square West, when it was the address of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. I love the memory of my first visit there. So many of my favorite poets and children's authors had been published by FSG, and it was amazing to see their framed award certificates on the walls, and then to see a long hallway filled with shelves of FSG books, published through the years.
DCHM: What made you want to write Salt?
HF: I came to Fort Wayne, Indiana, after having lived in a small community in Alaska where adults had grown up hearing stories told by those who had experienced the first contact with European-Americans. When I lived there, I was the only non-Native Alaskan in the community, and I became close friends with my neighbors. So when I read about the early history of what is now called Fort Wayne, I was attentive to the friendships I learned about. I thought about what it may have been like for children at that time, and I worked for many years to find a way to tell the story I researched and imagined.
When we learn history, we sometimes think the outcome was inevitable, but it was not. This part of our history could certainly have turned out differently. James' mother is inspired by a real person, Angelique Chapeteau Peltier, who was famously "unafraid of any of her neighbors" and refused to go to Piqua, Ohio when all the other women and children were evacuated from the fort in early September, 1812. What if everyone had refused to be led by fear, and had treated one another with respect? Even if you accept the inevitability of European arrival, what if treaties had been created out of such mutual respect and their terms had been fully honored? The present-day Myaamia community would be larger and more visible, and the lives of everyone who lives here now would be enriched by the deep knowledge and cultural richness that comes from many generations of living in one place.

The post Summer Reading: To Kill a Mockingbird appeared first on History Detectives.]]>
As you pack your beach bag or your suitcase this summer, don't forget to throw in your copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee!
New-York Historical Society's Reading into History program is partnering with Facing History & Ourselves in a summer-long online book discussion group for 12 –16 year-olds on Goodreads. FH&O works to empower students and young people to be active, responsible decision-makers, and they created a curriculum to teach To Kill a Mockingbird as a novel, a historical document, and a source of larger moral questions.
Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is on many schools' summer reading lists. So take advantage of this interactive and enriching way to engage in this classic story with other teens and their families. Educators from both institutions will host the online conversation. Prompt questions, historical context, videos, and artifacts will help inspire deeper analysis and thought. For example, check out this clip from the PBS documentary Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill A Mockingbird on the Facing History & Ourselves website in which cultural icons discuss what it was like to read this book for the first time.
To make the book discussion experience even more unique, families are invited to the New-York Historical Society to participate in a large-scale Reading into History teach-in on September 20. This interactive program will include presentations and small group discussions to explore the enduring themes and history in the book.
Here's how to participate:
If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy reading!

My son is a new driver and he broke the front passenger head and side light on his 1994 Subaru by getting close to a much larger pick-up truck. After a couple of trips to the local wrecking yard to look for crash parts, we were able to find the headlight, but not the side light. I was able to easily locate the part on the Go-Parts website, and it was available as a new part at a very reasonable price. The part was shipped quickly and well packed. We were able to install the side light the next day. By using a used headlight from the wrecking yard and a very reasonably priced new part from Go-Parts, my son was able to turn his $200+ lesson in being more careful when pulling out of tight places into a $100 lesson. Not bad for his first accident.
The Kia Sedona is the automaker's minivan model, which combines some incredible creature comforts with the always-valuable space. A 3.5-liter V6 engine provides some reasonable power, and with enough room for 7 passengers and cargo, there's little doubt that the model delivers in ways that mini-van owners would hope. Originally tabbed as the "Carnival" in 1998, the Sedona remains in production and carries several names throughout the various marketplaces.
Price Quality Average: 4 / 5 starsThank you for the quick shipment of my order. It is a Christmas gift so thought I better order early. With your response time that probably wasn't necessary. The part is as described on the website and your site is very easy to navigate and order from. I'll looke at your site first the next time I'm ordering. Thanks againby tsduff
Price Quality Average: 5 / 5 starsWas very satisfied with Go-Parts and the product was perfect. The only thing I was disappointed in was they do not offer deliveries to a APO address. I am an American living over seas in Germany and have an American Ford Escape. I was able to have the part shipped to a relative and them was shipped to me over seas. I wouldn't think it would take much effort to accommodate those of us stationed over seas for your company to be able to satisfy us in this matter.by Donalhenegar
Price Quality Average: 5 / 5 starsGo-part.com was great. it was much cheaper than your compettition for what i was looking for. I will continue using go part for my automotive needs.by nickvigants

Logistics Still a Mess on Rivers, U.S. and Canadian Rails
Just as rail cars began moving, another winter weather system brought it all to a halt. The freight situation in Canada, which is worse than in the U.S., could have long-term financial ramifications for the industry.

It is the oil moving east that has completely screwed up the rail system. BNSF has made the choice of new valuable oil shipments over all of its existing customers and are blaming the weather. Buffet better step in or government intervention will.
Posted by Robert Pyle at 1:07PM CST 01/31/14
And then, through executive action, the government can make the rivers melt the ice and rise to make it easier to ship by barge. Do you really have an idea of what private enterprise is all about?
Posted by CRAIG MOORE at 10:41AM CST 02/03/14
why would Buffet step in he is making money shipping oil. He is a supporter of Obama so delaying the Keystone Pipeline is in both of their interests.
Posted by Doug Milbrath at 11:11AM CST 02/03/14
Although CN and CP are blaming the bad weather for poor rail service oil cars continue to roll down the tracks. Although not an immediate fix, the approval and completion of the Keystone and Northern Gateway pipelines would ease a lot of the current rail problems in western Canada and the north-central US. Our record crop has turned into a nightmare, most of it will sit in the bin until 2015 or 2016.
Posted by Bruce Neufeldt at 12:10PM CST 02/03/14
Good for the Canadian for having a bumper crop. I do agree that it is the oil that is taking up all the track time. I do hope the pipe lines will get approval soon. It will help with the truck traffic as well.
Posted by Doug Milbrath at 4:16PM CST 02/03/14
Look at history. When was the last major rail, water or energy expansion? The "Not In My Backyarders" and Enviros put a halt to any proposal. Doesn't matter if it is oil, coal, gas, grain trains, power lines or pipelines. Open a new shopping mall, the same will trample each other for the bargains, without regard of energy load of the infrastructure. The U.S. can export coal, gas or oil, but can't convert the stored BTU's of fossil fuel for our own use. Export it overseas, then import it back in along with the polluted air in the atmosphere. How about building oil and gas pipelines or building a coal power plant in Iowa, Mn. S. Dak. or Wisc.? How about processing our own natural gas in the Central States for plant nutrition needs? Short on Electricity, Propane and nautural gas. Blame it on the Barges, Farmers, Oil Company or Railroads. It couldn't be waste of energy by everyone who turns up a thermostat or drives to the store a couple times a day. Solar and wind help, but are not the answer. Leave a flashlight outside in this country overnight, the batteries are dead from the cold.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 7:11AM CST 02/04/14
Economics is really all about incentives. Should I produce another crop? Should I drill another oil well? If the incentive is good enough, we will. Sometimes we hope it will be good enough. The governments have a responsibility to govern (make sure the engine does not run too fast) the speed at which the non-perishable, non-renewable resources are extracted and consumed. Seems to me in the overheated energy economy, where fortunes are made in a short period of time, the royalties paid has not kept up with the profit potential to keep the engine running at a manageable speed. In other words, there are a few getting very wealthy -oil companies, railroads, etc. - by selling off our storehouse of non-renewable resources.

Many people refer to Churchill as "The Polar Bear Capital of the World" such is the abundance of bears in the area. Once a year, for a limited time only the bears gather on the tundra, waiting for the "Big Freeze" so they can start the winter seal hunting season out on the pan ice. It is not uncommon to see, at this time, mothers with their cubs and large male bears sparring to pass the time. Between October and November is the best time to see polar bears in Churchill, and we offer a unique experience of living on the tundra amongst the action! These winter months in Churchill are the best time to see lots of bears in the same place, for a completely different experience you can go in the late summer. During these late summer months the bears roam the wild coast, among the flowers that bloom, in search of food and you may also spot wolves, beluga whales and caribou. One of our favourite trips at this time is our Birds, Bears and Belugas departure where if you are lucky, you may get to snorkel with the beluga whales.
On a floe edge safari on or around Baffin Island, the best time is the summer months, between May and July. At this time there is 24 hour daylight and you may spot polar bears hunting on the ice. This is also a great time to spot narhwals, the unicorns of the sea.
If you wish to see mothers and their newborn cubs leaving their dens for the first time, we recommend you go on our unique and exceedingly popular (you often need to book 2 years ahead!) Polar Bear Mothers and Newborn Cubs Safari during March in 'Polar Bear Alley'.
Far from being lazy layabouts, these bears are very entertaining! Being curious creatures, it is not unusual for one to approach the tundra buggies, checking out the tyres, trying to take a look through the windows or watching you through the grates on the floor of the vehicle whilst you look on in awe. This really is a spectacular time to visit the bears and really get an insight into their snow filled lives as they live in a very extreme climate. Watch as they roll about in the snow, un-phased by the cold as you stand fully clothed with a large parka jacket, big hat and a cup of tea to keep you warm!

Leapin' Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine takes center stage in one of the world's best-loved musicals.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan ANNIE charms everyone's hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.
With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, ANNIE escapes to the wondrous and magical world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, ANNIE foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
ANNIE JR. is ideal for productions involving different grade levels, or for middle schools where students may be maturing at different rates. The cast size and age range of the parts are flexible and the bright, tuneful score is easy to sing and filled with familiar numbers.

An Interview With, Well, Me…..John Hawkins, in Case You Didn't Know Who "Me" Was Referring to in This Post by Me
Eric Morris over at Misfit Politics has done a short interview with me. Here's an excerpt.
4) The economy and spending are the biggest issues our nation currently face. However, what issue is personally most important to you and why?
Spending is the most important issue to me personally because at the moment, the country is on track to default and it's possible I won't be rich by the time it happens. That's a big deal because I don't think there's going to be a big demand for bloggers in the middle of the Great Depression 2.0 when people are eating their dogs and shooting each other for copper wiring.
Make sure to read the rest of it here.
