America's tragic metaphor
In the twentieth century, many Americans tended to view our wars metaphorically as extensions of this nation's earlier frontier experience. From an anthropological perspective, those figurative analogies for contemporary combatants as frontiersmen reveal how an apparent "truth of things" expressed by some metaphors provided our culture with "a pastness to the future that is fundamentally reassuring." This longitudinal study traces "social functio…
Admiral Mahan, “narrative fidelity,” and the Japanese attack on pearl harbor
The strategy and tactics employed by the Japanese in attacking Pearl Harbor were based in part on key ideas from the writings of Alfred Thayer Mahan. These ideas had been corroborated by observations and experiences of Japanese officers through a series of historical events, giving the ideas “narrative fidelity” sufficient to influence momentous decisions and actions

America's opinion leader historians on behalf of success
A complex communication mosaic contributed to Americans' impelling motives to be successful. Some particularly credible “bits” of information in that mosaic came at crucial times from several twentieth‐century historians whose “literature of actuality” reinforced our faith in ways of achievement practiced earlier on the frontier and by our founding fathers. As they provided guidance to corroborate what was read and heard in popular culture, those…
Carl Becker and the epigrammatic force of style in history
Among historians in America, Carl Becker attained fame for style in discourse. Although his stylistic prowess was evinced in scholarly works which brought him eminence in his profession, epigrammatic style also was prominent in his writing of popular history, first in a polemic essay called “Kansas” which led to his role as propagandist in World War One, and then—and of particular interest to those interested in mass persuasion—an eminently succe…

Situational style and the rotunda eulogies
Despite a widespread assumption that style is personal, there is evidence that departures from idiomatic norms also may be situational in origin, as suggested by this study of the similar uses of uncommon language behaviors in the recently televised Rotunda eulogies
