Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a short introduction to the general reader who has an interest towards the more neglected parts of history. The story of Hull General Cemetery, the first and only private cemetery that existed in Hull will be fascinating to those interested in the Victorian period. The cemetery was opened in the 1840s and continued to function as a cemetery up to the 1970s. It is the story of how some far-sighted entrepreneurs in Victorian Hull struggled to solve one of the worst problems of the period, namely, how to dispose of the town's dead in a decent and dignified way. However, those entrepreneurs, in tune with those times, still looked upon this venture with the decided aim to make a profit from providing this public service and saw no problem with this dual purpose. The book outlines this dichotomy and records how the Hull General Cemetery Company strived to square this circle ultimately failing.The book also provides a number of pen pictures of some of the notables who are buried in the cemetery. Notables who were instrumental in the development of Hull during this period when it went from a town to a city, from a port whose trade was centred upon whaling and trading with its old Hanseatic links in Northern Europe to the third largest port in the United Kingdom with trade links throughout the world. Names such as John Gravill, master of the ill-fated Diana, one of the last whalers to sail from Hull. Thomas Earle, the noted sculptor, who's statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert still grace Pearson Park. And of course, Zachariah Pearson's own humble headstone that stands amongst the much grander monuments and obelisks of his contemporaries.Complete with many rare images of historical importance, the book also contains a large number of original images taken by the authors. It provides a welcome addition to a much-neglected part of the story of Victorian Hull. The book offers, to both the local historian and to someone who's just intrigued by this area of woodland within the city, a chance to learn more about the Hull General Cemetery Company before they visit this haunting yet magical site themselves.

It also discusses the mass outpouring of public grief that culminated in the creation of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and the Cenotaph. It explains the creation of the typical war grave headstone and why it was designed in this way.The burial of the war dead in Hull General Cemetery, and the later removal of the war grave headstones, is fully explained and the story behind all the servicemen who lost their lives in the Great War and who have a link with Hull General Cemetery is recounted in detail with a number of rare images and personal documents of the fallen soldiers and sailors that brings their, often short, lives back into the light.

Download or read book The Selected Papers of Jane Addams written by Mary Lynn Bryan and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a void in Jane Addams scholarship, this first volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams collects extant documents from the formative years of the major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author. Documenting the early development of Addams's social principles, the documents reveal the leadership skills that led her into a life of public commitment. For all her public compassion and visibility as an outspoken pacifist, Progressive reformer, and founder of Hull-House, Addams was an intensely private person who revealed her personal side only to family and close friends. Drawing on letters, diaries, and other writings from her childhood in Cedarville, Illinois, and her education at the Rockford Female Seminary, this volume provides heretofore unavailable insight into her developing ideas, educational experiences, and personal relationships. More than just biographical records, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams defines the era in which Addams lived. Unique yet representative of the spiritual ideals and political sensibilities of post-Civil War women and society, Addams's lesser-known, personal writings are necessary reading for scholars and historians. The volume explores important themes, including the migration of families westward, the first generation of college women, and the religious and domestic lives of nineteenth-century Americans. The editors' rich annotation of individuals and events featured in the documents and appendix of biographical profiles represent a trove of primary research and place the documents in historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1889 an unknown but determined Jane Addams arrived in the immigrant-burdened, politically corrupt, and environmentally challenged Chicago with a vision for achieving a more secure, satisfying, and hopeful life for all. Eleven years later, her “scheme,” as she called it, had become Hull-House and stood as the template for the creation of the American settlement house movement while Addams’s writings and speeches attracted a growing audience to her ideas and work. The third volume in this acclaimed series documents Addams’s creation of Hull-House and her rise to worldwide fame as the acknowledged female leader of progressive reform. It also provides evidence of her growing commitment to pacifism. Here we see Addams, a force of thought, action, and commitment, forming lasting relationships with her Hull-House neighbors and the Chicago community of civic, political, and social leaders, even as she matured as an organizer, leader, and fund-raiser, and as a sought-after speaker, and writer. The papers reveal her positions on reform challenges while illuminating her strategies, successes, and responses to failures. At the same time, the collection brings to light Addams’s private life. Letters and other documents trace how many of her Hull-House and reform alliances evolved into deep, lasting friendships and also explore the challenges she faced as her role in her own family life became more complex. Fully annotated and packed with illustrations, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams, Volume 3 is a portrait of a woman as she changed—and as she changed history.
