GENEALOGICAL NOTES AND ANECDOTES American History: Presidential Administrations Before That of George Washington, the Seventeenth Serious students of American history will acknowledge that the career of the American presidency begins with Peyton Randolph who was the first president of the Continental Congress. And it was, in fact, Thomas McKean who, in the Journals of the Continental Congress of 23 August 1781, in a letter cited from the Minister of France, was the first to be called "His Excellency the President of the United States in Congress Assembled," a title confirmed neither by law nor by resolution. [ Journals of the Continental Congress: 1774 - 1789 http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwjclink.html ] Samuel Huntington was the first president upon enactment of the Articles of Confederation. George Washington's, therefore, was the seventeenth administration, not the first, as is commonly supposed. It was to the Second Continental Congress that Robert MORRIS, Jr.

Capitalism and a New Social Order When I was a college sophomore, about this same time of the year in 1948, 1 declared my major in history. That was fifty years ago. In this essay, I would like to draw on those years to discuss where we have been as a group of scholars and teachers and, more important, how we might enhance our influence upon our times. This may sound pretentious, but history has an enormous power, and we historians occupy a special relationship to it. I have quoted my favorite lines from Carl Becker at the end of many a talk, but in this essay I want to begin with them. Confronting his colleagues' adamantine certitude about history's scientific foundations, Becker asserted that the value of history was not scientific but moral: "by liberalizing the mind, by deepening the sympathies, by fortifying the will, history," he claimed, "enables us to control, not society, but ourselves. a much more important thing; it prepares us to live more humanely in the present and to meet rather than to foretell the future."

AHA Presidential Addresses History and the Philosophy of History By George Burton Adams President of the Association, 1908 Annual address of the president of the American Historical Association , delivered at Richmond, December 29, 1908. American Historical Review Find Other Presidential Addresses Find by Year Find by last name Sordello History of the Philosophy of History About eighty years ago a new and profound influence began to make itself felt upon those who were engaged in studying and recording what had happened in the past. It was an influence towards more scientific methods of studying the facts of history. I am sure I do not need to describe to this audience the ideals of the young Ranke, in the twenties of the last century, nor their results for historical studies. They have indeed been described better than I could do it, in an earlier meeting of this Association, by one whose voice we shall not hear again, and whose own find examples of scientific work remain as models and incentives to us all. This is hardly the literal truth and yet it behooves us to understand clearly that after three-quarters of a century of practically undisputed possession of our great field of study, during which the achievements of the political historian have won the admiration and applause of the world, our right to the field is now called in question, our methods, our results and our ideals are assailed, and we are being thrown upon the defensive at many points.

Portraits of the Presidents and First Ladies,1789-Present In the early morning hours of June 6 , 1944, Americans received word that three years of concerted war efforts had finally culminated in D-day military jargon for the undisclosed time of a planned British and American action. During the night, over 5,300 ships and 11,000 planes had crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy. The goal of every soldier and civilian involved in that effort was to drive the German military back to Berlin by opening a western front in Europe. General Dwight David Eisenhower was in command of the invasion, which was code-named Operation Overlord.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both were shot in the head. Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas.

18. Urban Legends Reference Pages: History (Presidential S-Say) on file at the Truman presidential Museum Library Last updated 31 December 2002.The URL for this page is http//www.snopes.com/history/american/truman.htm http://www.snopes.com/history/american/truman.htm

Presidential S-Say Claim: The middle name of President Harry Truman was just the letter 'S.' Status: True. Origins: Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, came into the world on 8 May 1884. His parents, John Anderson Truman and Martha Ellen Truman, couldn't decide on a suitable name for their bouncing baby boy, and when the attending doctor finally registered the child's birth with the county clerk a month later, the infant still had no name. Eventually the Trumans chose to name their boy "Harry" after his maternal uncle, Harrison Young. Unable to decide between a middle name honoring Harry's maternal grandfather (Solomon Young) or his paternal grandfather (Anderson Shipp[e] Truman), John and Martha opted not to give little Harry a middle name at all and settled on something that could represent either grandparent: the letter 'S' by itself. (As Truman biographer David McCullough noted, using a single letter that stood for nothing specific was "a practice not unknown among the Scotch-Irish, even for first names.") Although the 'S' was not technically an abbreviation and therefore did not need to be followed by a period, Truman's full name was generally rendered as

Gateway 1 February 2001 National African American History Month, 2001 A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America In 1915, Carter Godwin Woodson, the father of Black history, founded the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History. Each February, the Association proposes a theme to guide the celebration of National African American History Month. For this year, the Association has chosen "Creating and Defining the African-American Community: Family, Church, Politics, and Culture." This month in particular, we remember the stories of those who have helped to build our Nation and advance the cause of freedom and civil rights. We remember the bravery of the soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and the sailors of the USS MASON in service to our country. We remember those who marched on Washington, sat at whites-only lunch counters, and walked rather than use segregated buses. And we remember those, known only to each of us, who helped to build our families, places of worship, and communities. When we examine our Nation's history, we discover these and countless other stories that inspire us. They are stories of the triumph of the human spirit, tragic stories of cruelty rooted in ignorance and bigotry, yet stories of everyday people rising above their circumstances and the prejudice of others to build lives of dignity.
