  • The Historians' Dilemma

    Elliott J GornARTICLEJournal of American History2004

    Against a backdrop of routine dishonesty from America's leaders, it seems like academic navel gazing to discuss “the ethical crisis in history.” Recent corporate corruption —Enron and the rest—certainly dwarfs our poor power to add or detract. Indeed, the scandals in the Catholic Church over sexually abusive priests make us seem by comparison like, well, choirboys and -girls. Then there was the last presidential election, an ethical breakdown tha…

  • Mother Jones

    Sharon Hartman Strom, Elliott J GornARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Ill, failing of mind, and bereft of personal memorabilia, Mary Harris Jones dictated the story of her life to a youthful journalist in 1922. The autobiography of Mother Jones has been debunked many times; she lied about her age, claimed to have been in places she had not, and said she was instrumental in events, such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, she was not. A strength of Elliott J. Gorn's well-written biography is that he nonetheless ta…

  • Feud

    Elliott J Gorn, Altina L WallerARTICLEThe American Historical Review1990

    The Hatfield-McCoy feud, the entertaining subject of comic strips, popular songs, movies, and television, has long been a part of American folklore and legend. Ironically, the extraordinary endurance of the myth that has grown up around the Hatfields and McCoys has obscured the consideration of the feud as a serious historical event. In this study, Altina Waller tells the real story of the Hatfields and McCoys and the Tug Valley of West Virginia …
