Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Health and Drainage, on the Origin and Diffusion of Yellow Fever in Charleston in the Autumn of 1856 It may be here remarked, that at this time, there seemed to be a cessation in the occurrence of cases in the city, and the plan was adopted by the Mayor and Board of Health, of sending all who were taken sick in vessels to the Laza retto, instead of allowing them to go to the Hospital, in the hope ofthus arresting the spread ofthe disease. The plan was, however, abandoned, as soon as it was found that other cases were occurring in the city, and were going to the Roper Hospital.

Download or read book Working on the Dock of the Bay written by Michael D. Thompson and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the role and struggles of dockworkers—enslaved and free—in Charleston between the American Revolution and the Civil War Working on the Dock of the Bay explores the history of waterfront labor and laborers—black and white, enslaved and free, native and immigrant—in Charleston, South Carolina, between the American Revolution and Civil War. Michael D. Thompson explains how a predominantly enslaved workforce laid the groundwork for the creation of a robust and effectual association of dockworkers, most of whom were black, shortly after emancipation. In revealing these wharf laborers' experiences, Thompson's book contextualizes the struggles of contemporary southern working people. Like their postbellum and present-day counterparts, stevedores and draymen laboring on the wharves and levees of antebellum cities—whether in Charleston or New Orleans, New York or Boston, or elsewhere in the Atlantic World—were indispensable to the flow of commodities into and out of these ports. Despite their large numbers and the key role that waterfront workers played in these cities' premechanized, labor-intensive commercial economies, too little is known about who these laborers were and the work they performed. Though scholars have explored the history of dockworkers in ports throughout the world, they have given little attention to waterfront laborers and dock work in the pre-Civil War American South or in any slave society. Aiming to remedy that deficiency, Thompson examines the complicated dynamics of race, class, and labor relations through the street-level experiences and perspectives of workingmen and sometimes workingwomen. Using this workers'-eye view of crucial events and developments, Working on the Dock of the Bay relocates waterfront workers and their activities from the margins of the past to the center of a new narrative, reframing their role from observers to critical actors in nineteenth-century American history. Organized topically, this study is rooted in primary source evidence including census, tax, court, and death records; city directories and ordinances; state statutes; wills; account books; newspapers; diaries; letters; and medical journals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised and updated third edition of The Making of Urban America includes seven new articles and a richly detailed historiographical essay that discusses the vast urban history literature added to the canon since the publication of the second edition. The authors’ extensively revised introductions and the fifteen reprinted articles trace urban development from the preindustrial city to the twentieth-century city. With emphasis on the social, economic, political, commercial, and cultural aspects of urban history, these essays illustrate the growth and change that created modern-day urban life.

The Making of Urban America is the only reader available that covers all of U.S. urban history and that also includes the most recent interpretive scholarship on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the Placentia Canal project, Chatham County, Georgia, consisted of an historic documents search and an archaeological survey. The project is on the eastern fringes of the City of Savannah and on the western margin of Thunderbolt, Georgia. A two-hundred-foot-wide corridor along the existing 2.5-mile-long canal right-of-way was surveyed. No significant archaeologicl sites were identified within the field through either field survey or a check of the State of Georgia Archaeological Site Files. Historic documentation indicates that Placentia Canal was constructed through or near the Placentia Plantation between 1877 and 1887. Construction of this and other related canal systems was stimulated by the Savannah yellow fever epidemic of 1876. Future excavation or construction within the Placentia Canal corridor will not impact significant archeological or historical cultural resources. (Author).
