Lockridge family histories: Looking for the raintree
Novelist Ross Lockridge, Jr., killed himself months after the publication of his highly publicized novel, Raintree County. Why? This article seeks an answer in the writer’s conflicted relationship to History: of his country, of his family (including his father, the best-known historian in his home state of Indiana), of his own grand ambitions. Lockridge had crafted a fictional hero, Johnny Shawnessy, who sought to ‘hear the words before the words…
Francesca Russello Ammon. Bulldozer: Demolition and Clearance of the Postwar Landscape
In the decades from 1950 to 1980, the U.S. population increased by roughly 75 million people. As their numbers grew, Americans destroyed 7.5 million dwelling units. At roughly the same time, a country already blessed by the world’s most extensive highway system added 46,000 miles of concrete interstate—each inch of it dictated by engineering specifications requiring wider lanes, broader shoulders, and higher clearances than those offered by exist…
Condemned to repeat ourselves? Historians and the perils of deflection
The maxim that ‘those who forget the past condemn themselves to repeat it,’ long a favorite of history students eager to demonstrate their understanding of the value of the discipline, might profitably be turned upon those of us who make our living as historians. This article questions a repetitive tendency among academic historians to deflect from opportunities to connect with the life that lies at the core of their work. I call for a historical…
Robert C. Post. Who Owns America's Past? The Smithsonian and the Problem of History
Each weekday, a share of Washington, D.C.'s daily rush of trench-coated, running-shoed, badge-laden desk workers pushes through the doors of a glass-fronted office building located just outside the north exit of the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station. On the third floor of 600 Maryland Avenue, SW, unseen even by most of those daily tenants—let alone by the tourists wandering outside in search of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (NASM)—th…

Historical Thinking Matters
Historical Thinking Matters wraps an ambitious battery of learning goals in an accessible selection of online lesson plans. Emphasizing their larger mission “to teach students how to critically read primary sources and how to critique and construct historical narratives,” a project team headed by the codirectors Sam Wineburg and the late Roy Rosenzweig aims to entice teachers and students with “an inviting set of stories” capable of overcoming th…
The Day in Its Color: Charles and Jean Cushman
Their names are Charles and Jean Cushman. The place is the Hotel Wofford in Miami Beach, Florida; the date, sometime in March 1939. The Cushmans have traveled here from Chicago, Illinois, in a maroon Ford Deluxe sedan, which they will soon drive north to visit her parents in their red-brick townhouse in Washington, D.C. We know the color of the car and the house, as we know the details of their itinerary, because of what he keeps beside him on th…

St. Louis: The Evolution of an American Urban Landscape
Eric Sandweiss has written a history of city building in St. Louis from the political economy of land to the arrangement of rooms in apartments. Its ambitious chronology starts from the city's foundation in 1764 and extends more or less to the present, but the book focuses on the years 1850 to 1910, when most of St. Louis was built. During much of that period it was the fourth largest city in the United States. In order to examine interrelations …
