  • Bank Notes and Shinplasters: The Rage for Paper Money in the Early Republic

    Open AccessClifton HoodARTICLEPennsylvania History A Journal of…2023

    Imagine a Three-card Monte game in which every participant, not just the dealer who is handling the cards and the shill who is part of the con, knows that a scam is going on. The dealer employs sleight of hand and misdirection and sometimes even bends the cards in order to win, but in this imagined variant, everyone knows that deception is the norm. There are no innocents and no marks, just people with differing degrees of knowledge of the card g…

  • American Gold Digger: Marriage, Money, and the Law from the Ziegfeld Follies to Anna Nicole Smith

    Clifton HoodARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2021Cited by: 1

    This study of gold diggers is illuminating and original. Donovan defines gold digger as a woman who pursues romantic relationships primarily for economic gain. In five chapters organized chronologically and thematically, he examines the evolution of this stereotype from its emergence before World War I through Anna Nicole Smith’s marriage to an elderly billionaire in 1994. One chapter explores a moral panic about alimony in the 1920s; another inv…

  • Devil's Mile: The Rich, Gritty History of the Bowery

    Open AccessClifton HoodARTICLEJournal of American History2019

In this lively popular history, Alice Sparberg Alexiou surveys its history from the settlement by Dutch colonists in the seventeenth century to the gentrification that began in the 1990s. Colonial New York City's two oldest and most important th…

  • The Cycling City: Bicycles and Urban America in the 1890s

    Clifton HoodARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    Bicycles are characterized by indeterminacy. Unlike other forms of urban transportation, they are portable, which means that they can be used for travel as well as taken on conveyances such as motor vehicles and street cars. They can be ridden on roads and sidewalks and off-road. They can be used for commuting, long-distance touring, the delivery of goods, and racing. Evan Friss examines the relationship of cycling to American cities during the 1…

  • Tunneling to the Future: The Story of the Great Subway Expansion That Saved New York

    Clifton Hood, Peter J Derrick et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Peter Derrick examines the development and impact of New York City's dual subway system. Authorized in 1913, this project comprised 325 miles of subways and elevated railways, doubling the size of the city's rapid transit network. It was, Derrick believes, “the most important decision made by New York's government in the twentieth century” and among the greatest public works in American urban history. Derrick brings unusual skills to historical w…
