Captain James Cook and his times
No full textThe widespread effect in Europe of James Cook's voyages of discovery can be seen in the language of Coleridge and Wordsworth, the planning of ambitious Spanish missionaries and far-sighted Russian traders, and the letters exchanged by thinkers and scientists of many countries and two centuries. The round of commemorations that began in 1969 to mark the bicentennial of the three great voyages has stimulated research into Cook, and when an international symposium of Cook scholars was held in 1978 at Simon Fraser University, it brought a strong focus to the most articulate of this thought. Robin Fisher and Hugh Johnston have selected eleven papers that re-evaluate Cook's career and accomplishments and amply demonstrate the range and relevance of what was said at the Simon Fraser symposium. Terence Armstrong, Michael E. Hoare and Bernard Smith look at Cook's reputation and how it evolved. Howard T. Fry and David MacKay discuss two figures, Dalrymple and Banks, who lent much to Cook's reputation by means of their own genius. Sir James, Watt, in describing medical aspects of the voyages, sheds light on Cook{u2019}s death- the great puzzle of his biography. Alan Frost, Rudiger Joppien and Glyndwr Williams address Cook{u2019}s effects on art, literature and the language of geographers. Christon I. Archer analyzes why the Spanish allowed Cook to take credit for certain discoveries made by their own explorers. And Robin Fisher asks why we must assume that when Europeans first met men of other races, theirs was the dominant role. These essays, like all good writing by historians, cause us to look afresh at our culture and its evolution while they bring alive the era of James Cook- one of wide-ranging intellectual ferment

Hugh Huntington letter to Lucile Atcherson, October 23, 1914
No full textOn October 23, 1914, Hugh Huntington, the President of the Young Business Men's Club in Columbus, Ohio, wrote this letter to Lucile Atcherson, a suffrage leader with the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association. In the letter, Huntington invited Atcherson and her suffragist allies to attend a debate on equal suffrage. Huntington also informed Atcherson that the Young Business Men's Club voted to bring their wives and girlfriends to the event. He also expressed the club's enthusiasm for having representatives from the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association present at the debate.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
